Legals and Humans Game Mechanics Discussion

**Lirange** · 01-25-2010, 05:49 AM

This is a thread to discuss and suggest mechanics of the game. Such as the way the game is played, an alternate way to play the game, role suggestion, etc. Please do not talk about any game that is currently active in here.

Suggestion: I have an idea for a new role and I would like to hear your guy's opinion about it. So pretty much the role is going to be a trick role. What it does is that either at the beginning of day or night time, this role will decide to play an evil game of Russian Roulette. If you do not know what that is, read this. The person will choose six players and those six players will have to play the game. One of them has to be the person who activated it. Once the game is activated, the player will have to type Play Russian Roulette (or something like that). Teva will have the hat opened and will have 5 options saying live and 1 saying die. When the player says it Teva will then roll it and whatever it comes up delete it off the hat and post the results. If it lands on die, the person dies, if it lands on live, the person live and the next time someone plays it there will only be 4 live options and 1 die option. This role can go to either side. The person will have to tell teva when they want to play it and teva will announce the game is starting and who chose to play it. Do you think it should be implemented in the game? Any questions about it. I personally would love to put this in the game. Just like to hear opinions and such and see if I should change anything before I put it in. Also, do you think it should last 24 or 48 hours? And if someone doesn't type Play Russian Roulette I just roll for them and they receive a warning? (Unless they're the last person left, I'll just roll for them and they'll be dead anyways)

I personally don't like games of chance...

How is it determined who dies? If there's 6 people that's going to play it, then who is the first to be determined whether they die or not? I'm a little confused about the activator, and the people who get chosen by the activator, and what the people who get chosen can do (or not do). @_@

So does that mean the activator gets their role revealed?

I'm a little confused about how it works, it sounds a little complicated, but I wouldn't mind trying it for a round or two to see how it goes though. But I'm thinking this would only work better if there's a certain minimum amount of people playing.

--------------

I have a suggestion for the Robo role.

Since the identity of the human helper roles are unknown to other humans, how about we make it so that the legals don't know who the robo is, and vice versa?

Humans tend to vote out important human-helper roles, or the human-helper roles accidentally help the legals; then wouldn't it be more fun if the same could happen to Robo/Legals? Where Legals may accidentally kill a Robo, or Robo may accidentally block legals from killing.

If Robo blocks a legal, then the kill gets cancelled for the night, but at the same time, that would mean that Robo finds out who a legal is and can secretly help them out.

DOWN SIDE is that this may be extremely beneficial to humans, but I guess that can be changed if we have the right legals:human ratio, where Robo role isn't counted as "legals". If you get what I mean.

I might be oversimplifying, but I saw it as:

There is a role who is allowed to choose up to 6 people for a demented version of Russian Roulette. As per a typical game of Russian Roulette, one person always dies. Therefore, I don't think the people who get chosen to play has any choice in the matter. It'll go by sheer luck if you live, or die.

lirange, in the roles thread you put legals win condition as them being the only ones left. i thought it was when the number o flegals = the number of humans (+other roles possibly)

And I think that's too complicated...

I have the time here and I don't wanna read the wall of text

to ask everyone that plays to read what they're meant to do just takes up too much time IMO...

esp when I don't know what Russian Roulette is and I don't wanna read wiki..

I much prefer it to be simple..

Suggestion: Death Wish

This is usually in a RL mafia game.

Where the person that was killed by Legal at night time gets 1 say on who they think killed them.

They can PM who they think killed them to Teva, and Teva announce it within the first 12 hrs of Day Time.

The idea is to give the human a final say if they suspect someone (the final say would have more weight if they're Robin/Tracker obviously).

It should just be a simple "I think ________ killed me." No reasoning and stuff.

xD i think i only saw russian roulette in a movie probably like 10 years ago. no idea what movie. but it's a game with a gun that only has one bullet in it. each person takes a turn putting the gun to their head na dpulling the trigger. onviously the loser is the one that gets the bullet.
