A quick thing we've been throwing around for a bit in the discord, the general concept is "players don't know who signed up". Basic rules apply, but there's also some modified stuff based on making use of this concept.


Game-Specific Rules


Pretty sure those are the rules we agreed on for the initial test run, but there's a few other ones we've been throwing around - mostly, differences in the way players sign up (ask if you want more details), and in the mafia also killing by player name. In the latter scenario, the Hustler (see below) would just be informed whether or not a player is in the game.


Roles


The Watcher is subject to change, and most of the other roles are up for debate. The Hooker is pretty much in there as useful filler, and same for the Vigilante (although the vigilante might have some more usefulness in shooting non-players, I dunno). Anyway, with that aside, thoughts on the concept are appreciated.

mafia def needs at least another pr, maybe like gramps or something

also do non-players get the ability to make fake visits? that could be fun

I really don't think they should - any mechanical impact should really be only the people that signed up. But PSN's manning this mad parade, not me, so.

will members of the mafia know their own number, or will they just be able to randomly kill themselves by accident, or will they not get a number. Personally, I hope it's the second one just for shiggles

members of the mafia probably won't get the Number, because that'd be dumb. if you're a mafia member, you aren't gonna say "we should kill person" and then take out a knife and cut your own throat. this isn't jojo

it's possible that mafia need another PR, yeah. i think i'm fine testing it with the smaller number in the game now, since they get guaranteed kills each night, though

re, second point: no fake visits because the people not in the game aren't players, they don't get to do anything except post, you're only in the game if you sign up

So if Mafia don't have numbers, that means if the Watcher investigates them, they'll get "In the game, but no number"? And as such function even more as a cop?
