I have had this idea for a long time, but never thought of actually making a game out of it!
Color Gangs is a fictional gang war that happens in the city of Nuevo Leon.
In this game all parties involved have an objective they must meet to win; their actions might save or condemn the city, but that' up to the players to decide.

With that said, here are the gangs:

Blue Templars
Red Devils
Jade Bandits
Yellow Jackets
Citizens


Yellow Jacket Emblem Shenanigans:
- Receiving an emblem doesn't affect the receiver's role or faction.
- An emblem wielder will be revealed as such after his or her death.

Shouldn't the Red Devils have the killing role if their goal is death?
Also! Can the leader of the Yellow Jackets still win if an emblem'd citizen survives?

I thought about it, but I think the lose on citizens could end the game too quickly.
The Yellow Jacket leader can win even if he is dead.

The way that the Yellow Jacket losing condition is worded implies that even if the game is just starting out, say on night 3, and all of the citizens with an emblem are dead even if the leader is able to still put out an emblem, the Yellow Jackets will still lose.

Also, the hacker should be able to do with the PM's what they please. Prohibiting them from C/Ping it in the thread can't really be enforced, since they can ask someone else to put the PM in the thread or simply paraphrase it. Lifting the restriction will make them a legitimate force to be reckoned with.

This is a really neat game. I'm excited to see it in action.

Zephyr it's the same as not being able to post any other host PM? I'm not sure what you mean.

Oh right, I should fix the Yellow Jacket losing conditions, I think it should be "All of the citizens with an emblem die and the Leader is unable to put emblems on others"

Hm, I was hesitant about Hacker shenanigans, but I guess I will roll with your suggestion Zeph.

I really don't think the Hacker should be able to paste in host PMs. You're not allowed to paste any other host PMs, role or otherwise, so I don't see why this should change that. Paraphrase, sure, but not copy/paste.

The thing is that it effectively changes nothing, paraphrase wise. Anyways, the message would just be what someone else PM'd, not the actual word of the host themselves. Perhaps only allow them to Copy Paste the content of the PM?

Considering that the host sends and receives a lot of PMs, and can't really know what people are sending other people unless they send the host a copy too, it's most likely that the hacker would be receiving part of a conversation involving the host. So, I don't think he should be able to copy/paste them, for the same reason you can't copy/paste any other host PM.

Ok so, intercepting and using the information is fine as long you don't c/p. Paraphrasing should be fine. I think that should do.

edit:
Nyon was kind enough to show me the following link: http://wiki.epicmafia.com/index.php?title=Journalist

This makes me wonder a few things, for example, there is no way for the host to know what the players PM each other, moreover Danny (on Skype) mentioned that the players could PM random messages such as "vote: XYZ" and mess with the hacker.

A certain lord (AKA Q) suggested to have the hacker simply know the action the PM contains, for example:
"Rikki voted for Seagully!", "Zephyr put an emblem on Platypus!" or "Aviana shot Bumblebed!"

Otherwise it would show as "Omanyte didn't take any action tonight"

Basically an upgraded Tracker?

Of course I vote for Seagully.

And, that is a pretty cool idea.
