    Hm. That sounds surprisingly good for Town. Dunno why Punk "might" die, but it's still a bad role.
    Sounds like a bad idea at first glance.
    Tag @osieorb18 for better opinions regarding FM setups.

    Sounds fun and chaotic! I really like the colored box setting~ I'm currently imagining colored boxes hanging in the sky with an angelic cloudy backdrop, isn't that beautiful? blobmelt_thumbs

    I would play if you did run this! :blobtaco:

    sounds interesting but from a quick glance looks quite unfavourable to the mafia

    What we know according to the Opening Post:
    • Jester cannot fake their flip.
    • Boater is Lynch-Immune.

    This is what I know:
    • Bane makes addendums/clarifications because nobody reviewed his game; He is fixing his setup's loopholes mid-game.
    • Bane doesn't update his Opening Post.
    • According to Clumsy, there are apparently events in the game. If they are anything close to my events, then these events would upset the already imbalance game that Bane is running.

    This is what I assume could have happened:
    • Bane made addendum where Jester could fake their flip as another role.
    • There was an event that enabled Jester to fake their flip as another role.
    • There was an event that disabled Boater's Lynch-Immunity.

    For starters, give mafia their Night Phase back. Your cycle has three phases, but you didn't specify when the mafia could faction kill, and there is no night phase.

    • Morning Phase == Day Phase + Question Phase, which is fine.
    • Afternoon Phase is pointless because you haven't specified what the players actually do to get which box.
    • Evening Phase =/= Night Phase because you didn't specify mafia faction kill, which sucks.

    Having twelve 1-Shot abilities suck for both players and hosts. Period.
    Let some of them be duplicates or duds.

    Ah, Evening == Night, which has the obligatory mafia faction kill. Should the mafia have an always open group chat to give them an advantage? :hmm: This way they can also coordinate for the Morning events.

    For the Afternoon Phase, basically the players:
    • Decide on their order of priority in the game thread (needs to get plurality approval, else order will be randomized) For example: A will be first to choose, B second, C third, etc.
    • Send the host (in their role PM) the order of their preferred colored boxes before the Evening Phase (to make the box give-away faster). For example, player B will PM something like this: I want the red box first. If it already got taken, then I'll pick a colour in this order: blue, violet, green, brown, gold, etc.
    Yup, there will be duds and duplicates. Haven't decided on the list of all available abilities yet.

    Eh... That's the finer details. I am not knowledgeable about those. If you ask me, it's up to you to decide.
    This seems pointless when most people want to be first once they know what is or isn't in the boxes they asked about in Morning Phase.
    Eh... This is fine. It's a hassle to keep track of them as host, but it's not exactly my problem.
    I recommend basic ones, such as Watcher, Tracker, Cop, Doctor, Redirector, Roleblocker, and... IDK how to handle [Killing] abilities such as Vigilante and PGO (AKA ToS Veteran). I know they have to be super rare, but... IDK.

    I split the Day Phase into Morning and Afternoon Phases primarily so the players won't just focus on the boxes/events and forget about sussing people. Wouldn't the discussion for the order of priority give clues on who could be in cahoots with each other too? :hmm:

    It was fun for me too, I'm just a bit grumpy about the fact that when I don't speak, i'm apparently super-sus
    Especially since I couldn't speak.

    And yes, this is the second time this happened to me

    :blob_patpat::blob_patpat::blob_patpat: I think people just sussed you at that time because I brought you up earlier than Gonz~

    The role madness Sailor Moon-themed one?

    If they ignored the gameplay, then it's their fault. Design-wise, there is no need for you to fix it.

    Technically you can also have 24 hours where nobody can vote, 24 hours where people vote to hold a trial, and another 24 hours to vote guilty/innocent, but that just seems excessive.
    No. :blobexpressionless:
    Bruh. Do you want me to host a mountainous then? Or would you prefer a game with even more complexity?

    Ehh it sounds like the mafia might give away a bit too much information with the second part. The balancing act would have to be extremely carefully done. Since the mafia might benefit more from not knowing who their partners are depending on the way things shape up. Could be fun though if done well. Wants more spice and the disappearing of boxes!
