Normally they would be, but I got permission from an administrator prior.

*ahem*

HOW WILL THE MONOKUMA ACCOUNT PLAY A ROLE IN HOPE'S PEAK ACADEMY MAFIA?! WHAT IS BARDULL'S PLAN?! WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?!!?!?!

Find out next time, in Hope's Peak Academy Mafia...

So when I finally get down to working on Safari Zoned 2 does anyone want to cohost it or atleast work with me on roles?

This time I’ll make it abundantly clear that unlike Safari Zoned 1 it is not a cult game so that nobody is confused or anything... It’s actually a double cult game.

Still looking for a co-mod for my game, I have a vague idea of some of the roles and would like someone to talk through it, as well as wanting to handle the actual mechanics of running a game

So, a thought I've had: What would you guys say isn't allowed? I've hosted enough B. Mod games to know w hat I can and can't do, and I'll be putting a warning label that says that 1. No lying about flips (because Death Lawyer and Death Miller are beyond *******, imo) and 2. No Lying about Win Conditions (If you have a member of the Mafia and they're Mafia, that's that.) I may stretch these in the future a bit, but I'm sure without pulling the crazy up to 11, ya'll will already have a time for my first hosted game here

I assumed it meant no secret bull**** and my game had no secret bull**** in it.
hi. this page may help.

B. Modding can mean a lot of things and the definition changes variously. Swingy isn't necessarily bastardly, but, Cults, mid-game alignment changes (Especially if they have no choice in the matter over their alignment change), moderator lies that can not be anticipated (Ninja's/Godfathers are fine, but saying someone's a Doctor when they're actually a roleblocker is a **** move), secret win conditions, non-randomness in player role/alignment generation, direct moderator influence during the game (even going as far as the moderator or co-mods being playable), the Moderator purposely hiding info, hidden players, inconvenient roles to play with, etc.

I think the biggest thing w/ modding that saves a lot of salt is let people know upfront: Is it ******* Modding? Is it Regular Modding? Or is it just a swing-y setup? (Powerful roles; any faction could change the tides easily). There is a thin line between ******* Modding and Beyond *******/Game Breaking; with the setup I'm making, I'm being really careful about not getting into the Beyond ******* territory.

Also Borderline is a terrible word because every time I've seen it used it basically meant ******* modding.

down to help any and all setups since I prefer hosting/helping over playing; still want to play some here and there.

You can’t do whatever Wolfie adds in his games.

can someone summarize me his animafia game

I'm having a headache just trying to parse those role PM's lol
He had like 3 doctors and a person that could see if someone had a gun, but nobody started with a gun they had to be given one. He also had a townie that could not be lynched or killed that became mafia on Night 2.

I was gonna cohost it but I saw the roles and got unsurprisingly overwhelmed lol

>3 doctors

what

WHAT

i don't think i'd ever break **** that hard lol. 2 doctors is already bad enough because they'd just keep defending each other. also what's with all the spies

I've already heard enough about his GoT cult game to know not to do the #2 big rule I set down for myself.

I might be missremembering cause it was forever ago but I remember people not enjoying his first game

It was a Doctor, a Backup Doctor, a Bodyguard, a Jailkeeper and a Bulletproof Vest giver.
Doctor could protect during Day and save someone from lynches once.
Backup Doctor wasn't really backup as they could act starting on Night 3.
Jailkeeper had a one-Night cooldown but would just auto-jail the previous target during the cooldown if they were Scum. It was stupid.
Bodyguard was just straight up Bodyguard. Not even a bulletproof to go with it, they had literally nothing fancy to them.

Also featuring:
Infinite-Shot Night Vig with a Day Desperado shot and one-use Rolecop

The Mafia was consisted of a:
-Framer
-Godfather Recruiter who couldn't kill
-Rolecopier with Clean Cop results until they killed once
And
-An outside Poisoner Usurper after the Framer

Basically:
-No counter to kill abilities
-No counter to roleblocks
-No counter to protections

And we still won somehow.


Also also, whatever the **** Swamp's role was

I think the essence of it is when good play goes poorly due to reasons outside of player actions, or when the only optimal play is non intuitive and requiers setup knowledge that players don’t have. A vig in a game with 10 bombs is encouraged to not shoot, or shoot very sparingly. If he doesn’t know that, he will blow himself up and be pissed at the mod.

There is value in an open setup, not every game needs to have the roles hidden. The downside is that it makes roleclaiming that much stronger

I've got a smaller, open setup game I want to give a try. I might throw it out during the "off season" some time like Nabe has been doing in between games.

Im Facebook friends with sprite I’ll try to see if I can get him to join after the thread goes up.

And then I’ll see about bugging ryker and riddle on discord. Not sure how to reach Tcat or tbg or soaring raptor blast though : (
