Diplopia Mafia Signups
THIS GAME WILL START MARCH 16 AT 10:00 PM EST.
u/elementAggregator here.
So the discussion in the last call post for Musical Chair Mafia about hydra accounts gave me an idea for a voting mechanic, and keeping with the recent trend of atypical voting setups I decided to take a shot at designing a game around it.
To that end, I give you Diplopia Mafia:
Each player will play the game as two anonymous novelty accounts. During the lynch phase, each vote may be accompanied by a guess at which player is controlling the account they're voting for. If the most common guess at the controlling player for the lynched novelty is correct, the second account belonging to that controlling player will be also be lynched. For example, redpoemage is playing with the novelties redpoe and poemage. Poemage is up for lynch with 5 votes, 2 of which ID redpoemage as the owner and the other 3 IDing 3 different incorrect players. Both redpoe and poemage are lynched that day and redpoemage is out of the game.
Given that this is a non-vanilla setup, if an experienced player isn't interested in playing but would be willing to look over my roles list to see if it's utterly lopsided, I'd appreciate it!
Found a mark very nice veteran player to help!
Time frame: This game will start sometime shortly after Console Wars Mafia ends if I get enough signups
Signups: Please sign up with your main account here, and submit the names of two novelties which will actually play the game by PM to u/DiplopiaMafia. Once signups are done, I'll shuffle the novelty list and post it below. You don't have to create the novelties right away when you sign up, but please PM me the intended names ASAP.
Regular signups are closed. Balance is tricky, so I won't be adding additional roles. Feel free to sign on as a backup if you like.
Looking for one more player.
Sign ups now closed.
Players: 12 (collectively accounting for 24 roles).
Roles: This is probably best described as a role mania game with bastard elements. They're largely normal roles with a small number of explicitly non-normal roles. A few might gain/lose abilities in the course of the game, but you'll know what's possible from your role message, even if you can't use them right away.
Bastardry: I'd say 4-4.5/10, discounting the main gimmick itself.
After revision and looking at the new guideline I would call this game ~Moderately Bastard.
Rules:
-
Play to win
-
No PMs
-
No (unregistered) novelties
-
No encrypted/time delayed messages
-
Tied votes decided by RNGReconsidering this - tied votes decided by first to reach majority, as that seems to be the preferred method. -
I won't forbid any method of trying to disguse yourself through typing quirks and the like, but please try to keep it readable - especially for people on mobile.
-
Paired accounts may interact, including with abilities unless otherwise prohibited. Things have been designed so that novelty interaction shouldn't be game breaking. For instance, the same player won't be controlling both a doctor and a cop.
-
Player eliminations (death of both novelties) will not be announced, except in the case of a double lynch.
-
Both novelties for a player will be of the same alignment.
-
Additional Rule: You may not directly quote mod PMs.
-
Additional Rule: You may not publicly name your twin.

Novelties (Shuffled):
