ooo i like this a lot. I wonder how the roles will work and balance. And its very different from my game of thrones, which is multiple teams. not exactly team-ffa either. Im thinking of adding diplomacy between the factions or "houses".
It'd be based on the manga Platinum End, the creators of Death Note.
13 players. Three different roles will be handed out. 5 players get a 2nd rank angel who offers the choice of Wings (for evasion) or Red Arrows (allegiance converter). 5 more players will get a 1st rank angel who will have
both Wings and Red Arrows, but can only use one at a time. The final 3 players get Wings, Red Arrows,
and also White Arrows that kill.
Red Arrows essentially make others "fall in love" with you, and thus they are considered on your team. When a player is lynched or killed by a White, anyone they pierced with a red arrow returns to being self-aligned. However, when a player is in love with another, actions and votes made against them won't count because you cannot betray your feelings.
Players who are targeted with a white arrow are saved if they have someone in love with them, because they will sacrifice themselves.
Players that die who were struck by a red arrow give any angelic tools they have to the one they loved. In other words, if they had wings or white arrows and you didn’t, they give them to you. This way players can effectively increase their rank.
I'd probably add various other mechanics to it, like if two players target each other with an arrow, the arrows hit each other and cancel out; or a player can wield an arrow defensively to protect themselves from one target of their choice.
Basically the game would be about diplomacy, strategic planning, and eliminating competition.
The only problem is that 2nd rank angel players have no long-term incentive to pick the angel Wings. They can't be pierced by any arrows, but they'd only ever be a team of one--themselves. They'd always lose to someone that can form a +2 group to outnumber them.
I’d probably have to alter it by making 2nd rank angels only have red arrows, yeah. If someone has wings, they can never increase their rank by getting the other abilities.
