Last year instead of listening in class I decided to do the country quiz on spot for until I memorized the whole thing. I ended up by being a big Kiribati fan by the end of it.

Due to game size, the setup has added Bard and Rogue roles into the possible pool as well.


Rogue 0-3
Arcane Trickster: At end of night, you may alter the result of the flip, to display the opposite alignment of what they really were.

Cutpurse: Each day you may choose a player, if that person is eliminated you may steal their powers. However, in doing this, that persons alignment and role will not flip publicly, only to you. If you chose a VT or Goon, you will gain nothing but the flip will still be private.

Acrobat: At night you may visit another player, and you will prevent them from taking actions.


Bard 0-3
Bardic Inspiration: You may choose another player once per game, and you will provide them with an additional action if applicable. Example, if a role is a 1 or 2 shot you can empower them to have a 3rd shot.

College of Secrets: At night you may visit another player and learn their role, not their alignment.

College of Trickery: At night you choose a player, if any actions target this player those actions will fail.

Signups will remain open through tomorrow morning or some time this evening. There is still time to play and make history. no game on webdip has ever had over 26 players

Caution:
I GM-ed a 24-player game a few years ago and it was too many.
It went to like Day 10 and people got bored.

[Jamiet99uk]

Call GM:
Not following the updates to the setup entirely - but my question is, how many max kills are there per night, now?

If it isn't at least two, the game will be likely to go on for too long, and die out due to apathy / fatigue, seriously.

A few notes for the new roles:
Arcane Trickster is very weak as town and very strong as mafia.
Does Cutpurse lose their ability when they steal someone else's? Can they steal multiple abilities? Can they steal, for example, a Necromancer's Janitoring ability if the Necromancer has already used the Janitor ability?
Bardic Inspiration seems very weak as town.
Does College of Trickery block the mafia abilities?


Slightly related to the last one: Are any of the mafia night actions assigned to players?

[brainbomb]

GM Note: with 24 hour day phases the game is likely to go too fast for people, not too slow. No additional kills or intentional fudging of what is in play will occur. The setup is as it is and will remain as such.

Cutpurse is a one shot deal - they dont steal multiple abilities, they can steal necro if its unused.

Trickery would block any action

Night actions are assigned to a player

Hmmm.

I guess the 24-hour day is a balancing factor, to some extent.

As a follow-up to D&W’s analysis: are these town PRs, or any alignment PRs (ignoring tadpole)

Is Role vs Alignment only interesting with the tadpole?

What is a “Role” vs “Alignment”?

The person targeting the player will get a message saying their action failed

[brainbomb]

A role is what role that person received at game start. If a role cop visits a goon their result would show vanilla just like a vt.

Alignment is specifically are they town or are they mafia. The role in question you are asking about is simply a role cop

Some of the PRs described at start were town, some scum. Which are “either”?
