So after DB Mafia I mentioned I would have a post here about a few topics I wanted to bring up for future games. Bad time to make it because SB is breaking but I'll go for it.
1. Consistency.
So, this one is a bit weird because it's partyl based on games before I even joined. MafiaScum, the handy-dandy wiki I know people have been using for this isn't entirely consistent either. So I want to make things consistent so people know what to expect when going in.
so:
- Should players be notified when they are attacked of they survive? (Bulletproof/healed or protected/etc) Same for if you are roleblocked.
- should X-shot abilities be consumed if roleblocked or they cant work? (X shots are abilities with limited uses, like Vegeta, Goku, and Yajirobe from my game.
Personally, i can go either way on if you are attacked (you should be notified if you are a one time bulletproof tho so you know that's gone) and think you should DEFINITELY be told when you are roleblocked and you try to act (dont act and get roleblocked and you shouldnt be told). IMO.
Mafiascum said that x shots are usually consumed, but I personally disagree
With the regular stuff out of the way
2. Mayors
Im starting to think vanilla town mayors are lame as ****. Day one they claim mayor and then everyone tells their role and then by day 2 everyone knows every role and it doesnt really matter what role you claim because it's a matter of checking off boxes.
The whle point of mafia is that no one knows anything, and a role that let's everyone instantly know everyone's role and removes the necessary secrecy seems. . .counter productive.
3. No lynch
Day 1 is boring as ****. Nothing happens unless someone gets super aggressive and tries to force people to claim. Getting rid of no lynch would force people to actually defend themself so they dont get lynched. BUT it also means one player basically doesn't get to play the game. And that's bad. I would rather have a boring day one than **** a player over personally. Anyone have a better suggestion than banning no lynch altogether?
