I am very hyped for potato-based scumhunting

Have you a chip on your shoulder?

I, like damo, kept thinking of other potato puns... think what we could do with mashed, au gratin, and BBQ...

I say we grill him

I've had this idea for a game mechanic, not a theme. It's a hot potato.

One player is given the item at the start of the game. During the day, the player picks another player (the target) to give the potato to. At night, the GM flips a coin. If it comes up heads, the potato explodes and the target dies. If it comes up tails, now the target has the potato, and on the following day gets to pick a new player to throw the potato to.

There are some tweaks you can do to the above idea, but that's the basic gist. Has anyone ever heard of anything like this before?

I would make time to play in this game

Out of the frying pan, into the fire ...

hot potato mafia is fire

sparty I don't think you're getting out of hosting this idea at this point

[Spartaculous]

If people actually like the potato idea, I can start putting together an actual proposal for a potato-themed game... but it would probably take me a bit of time, given I've never done this before (I've only played two Mafia games on the site!) and the next two weeks or so are pretty busy for me. It might be nice if someone with experience as GM helps me out to get things balanced. In any case, someone else should do a round first, because I can't see this happening in the next few weeks.

I'm working with a friend to brainstorm some setup stuff. very likely will need some balancing down the line but I'm slowly trying to build up to that point :3

i would play a game hosted by Kirby :3

I can co-GM if that helps someone who wants to run. I can't commit to doing the regular EOD processing right now, but I can help with pretty much anything else.

how might i go about submitting a setup for review? i have an idea for a small, relatively simple game that could fill the time before sparty's hot potato setup is ready

DM any Kouncil member {me, darg, ghug, chaqa} on discord (or Webdip).

So, about potatoes. I wrote up a description of how hot potato mafia might work, and I was told there was "general approval" from Kouncil.

I'm not yet ready to share all of the details, but let's just say that there is more than one type of potato.

If I run this, I would definitely need a co-GM (probably more like a joint-GM). In addition, I'd feel a lot more comfortable if I had an experienced player take a look at the setup and give me some honest feedback on it (this doesn't have to be the same person who co-GMs with me).

I'm willing to coGM... and show it to Jamie, imo.

I would happily take a look as per Darg's suggestion. I have designed a lot of setups, not all of them perfect (but mistakes are how we learn). PM me if I can help, or contact me on Discord.
