Intro:

Premise:

Greater Idea Mafia is a semi-open setup, designed to be flexible while adding an extra layer of WIFOM and almost entirely removing the need for random votes to start the game.

Here's how the 'Greater Idea' idea works: each player is randomly dealt two roles from a deck of 54 roles. They must immediately choose one to keep and discard the other. Once every player has chosen a role, the mod that checks the game is satisfactory (e.g., a roughly correct % of scum) - otherwise the game is rerolled. The game begins with any factional/partnered roles being informed of their partners. At the start of Day 1, every player's discarded role is publicly revealed - this information allows the village something to immediately discuss from the beginning.

In this game, Townies are Engineers, Mafia are Sycophants, and Serial Killers are Consultants. This is just for writeup flavor and there are no gameplay differences or changes to the role PMs. Editors Note: I went back and changed all instances to the original names, since I didn't follow through with themed writeups.

Role list:

Setup/Role Specific Rules:

Cops return 'Guilty' upon investigating Mafia, 'Not Guilty' otherwise. FBI Agent returns 'Guilty' upon investigating a Serial Killer, 'Not Guilty' otherwise.
Roleblocks only work on targeting actions - but roleblocking effects cannot be roleblocked. Roleblockers have top priority.
No roles can self-target.
When mentioned, the abilities of a role refer to all of their role details which are unrelated to their faction or win condition.
The Innocent Child can choose to reveal itself at whatever moment it chooses. It is not revealed automatically at the start of Day 1.
Do not post an official day action (innocent child claim, day kill, governor action, etc) if you do not have the role that allows you to do so, or you might receive punishment appropriate for the situation (making a statement on this because it is an action during the day that involves the GM.)
The Enabler affects one randomly mod-selected other player. If the Enabler dies, its Enablee can no longer use any role powers other than a factional nightkill.
If only one Mason or Lover is chosen, then they are essentially a named Vanilla Townie.
If more than 2 Masons or Lovers are chosen, then all the Masons form one Mason group, and all the Lovers form one Lover group (rather than separate pairs).
Masons/Lovers will be informed who the other Masons/Lovers are, if there are any others.
Any groups with the ability to nighttalk (Mafia, Masons), are only allowed to communicate in their private thread during the night phase.
In this game, Townies are Engineers, Mafia are Sycophants, and Serial Killers are Consultants. This is just for writeup flavor and there are no gameplay differences or changes to the role PMs. Editors Note: I went back and changed all instances to the original names, since I didn't follow through with themed writeups.

Standard RB Werewolf Rules:

Days are 48 hours long. Nights are 24 hours long.
Days and nights end at 1100 CST / 1700 UTC. The forum clock is used as the official clock. Votes and actions posted at xx:59 count, votes and actions posted at xx:00 do not.
Posting is not allowed after the day and night deadlines until the GM has posted a phase resolution.
In the event of extended forum downtime or downtime that occurs in close proximity of the deadline or some other event that disrupts the game, the day may be extended 24 hours at the GM's discretion.
During the day each player may cast one vote for someone to be lynched. Players may also vote for "no lynch" and if "no lynch" receives a plurality there won't be a lynch.
Votes must be posted in red text or they will not count. Votes with spelling errors of names do count so long as it's unambiguous in the GM's opinion whom is being voted for. Votes embedded in quotes do not count.
The player with most lynch votes at the end of the day is lynched and eliminated from the game. Normally, in the event that two or more players are tied for the most votes, the tied player that reached their current vote total first is lynched. (A gets to 4 votes first, B gets to 4 votes later in the day, A is lynched).
Night actions have been preassigned a priority order.
Anyone failing to vote for 2 consecutive game days or 3 days total will be mod killed and removed from the game with a loss.
Dead players may make one posthumous post that doesn't contribute to discussion.
Forum profile camping is not allowed.
To prevent confusion that may arise in the case of cross posting, posts may not be edited for any reason.
Players may not communicate with other players about the game outside the thread via PM, email, chat, quicktopics etc. unless told otherwise.
Players must check their PMs and make sure they're alive each game day before posting.
If all players are simultaneously eliminated, or the game reaches a stalemate situation, the game is a draw.
The main scum faction (Mafia in this game) win in a tie situation (like 3 scum 3 villager), unless the GM judges that the outcome of the game would be still in question (GM's discretion).
Directly quoting role PMs or other communication from the GM isn't allowed unless otherwise specified.
Breaking rules will result in penalties ranging from warnings to loss of abilities to being mod killed, depending on the severity of the infraction and the GM's discretion.

Gazglum · January 28th, 2015, 12:02

Ichabod! Welcome back my friend.

Fenn · January 28th, 2015, 12:04

Mattimeo for being lower on the list than me.

Can't wait for the discarded role list to go up, that should be fun to work with.

Fenn · January 28th, 2015, 12:08

And as I say that it's up!

Interesting that Meiz, Jabbz and Dtay discarded Mafia roles, and Jowy discarded a Mafia power role.

It doesn't rule out the possibility that one of them rolled two scum roles (no Serial Killers were discarded after all), but it'd be pretty unlikely. Also only 38 out of 54 roles can be rolled in the first place, 2 for each of the 19 players, so just because a role wasn't discarded doesn't mean it's in play.
