A fair point Ichigo. Xdeath, the game isn't for weeks yet and official sign-up is a ways off.

In general, I will follow the same basic style as last time. Groups coordinating efforts, investigations that are less than perfectly accurate, multiple families of mafioso competing with one another as well as the town. COmments based on last game will be helpful. Other new thoughts I post in here (see below in this post).

I'll put revision ideas in here for feedback and -- eventually -- replace post #1 with the full rules or start an independent info thread as the game begins and allow this one to drop after sign-ups.

CR, I did not do the fu, so I will look it up and see if these should be added in. Thanks for the tip.

For now:

First Major Revision – Victory System

I am planning to use a points system with a 200 max points possible per player. These would be individual to the roles. The goals of such a system would be to allow for multiple “winners” based on quality/luck of play and to encourage appropriate participation after death. For example:

Townsperson:

Overall Victory: 100 points for a townie win.

Personal Survival: 25 points.

Night Actions: 50 points (maximum) for:
15 points each for each Don killed as part of a “vigilante” group
10 points each for each Made or Luca killed as part of a “vigilante” group
5 points each for each Wise Guy killed as part of a “vigilante” group
-5 points for each townie killed as part of a “vigilante” group
-10 points for each Detective/Doctor or like pro-townie role killed as part of a “vigilante” group
10 points for each townie saved as part of a “protection” group
3 points for each wise guy saved as part of a “protection” group
-5 points for each mafioso saved as part of a “protection” group

Voting Participation: 25 points (maximum) for:
3 points for voting for a Mafioso to be lynched
0 points for voting for a Wise Guy to be lynched
-1 point for voting for a Townie (any role) to be lynched
-2 points for not voting at all in a lynch vote
- 5 points for voting "present" in 5 or more lynch votes



First Minor Revision

Voting: I'll be allowing the following votes:

For Director: Select ________, Select Vacant, Present.

For Lynches: Vote ________, No Lynch, Abstain, Present.


A named vote is obvious,

"vacant" is to leave the director position vacant and have chief Seamus run those two lynches,

"no lynch" means that you want nobody to be lynched that round [if this choice has the plurality, there is no lynch that round],

"abstain" means that you want someone lynched but have no particular preference as to who [note: if abstains outnumber no lynches in a round, the player with the highest vote score will be lynched],

and

"present" which simply indicates that you have voted so as to avoid the not vote penalty.
