I'll do it. I'll be the town superstar(or preferentially, the ultimate scum).

I've had the thread bookmarked for weeks. Will I? Won't I? The time for hemming and hawing has come to an end.

Put me in.

echoes of a distant past,
bodies die but voices last.
once were held within a cell,
your mind is where these voices dwell.




secret setup spoiler: this game will feature a scum dreamteam of me, hal, mr scumalong, and keats himself running two sockpuppet player accounts

If you still want more players and would be okay with a very shiny baby playing, I would like to :) but if you think it'd be a bit much for me then I will watch and learn

It will be too much for experienced players and new players alike. But I don't think any prior mafia knowledge will be required to understand any roles. I'm sure discussions coming from players will become a little overwhelming if nobody is accommodating of newbies when referencing such things, but they probably will be.

There is also a slightly possibility that I fudge the roles if a newbie gets something too complicated, but you'll never know if I do that!

Keep in mind that this is a mutation of mafia rather than a standard game because the win condition for Town is different, despite still involving an element of finding the scum

Oh poo poo! Nice! This game will start on September 7 as long as everybody in the player list is in Discord and gives me a thumbs up that they still want to play.

There are 4 more open slots for people to sign up between now and then. Though I would prefer an odd number of players personally.

Okay guys, I’m at work right now so this is going to be a low-effort post. You’ve all gotten some very sparse flavor in your role PMs. You should expect this flavor to expand as you take actions, and as players witness mysterious hints.

Speaking of those hints, let me be a little clearer about the mechanic. Not totally clear, mind you. Not at all. But a little clear.

I will only accept queries that exist entirely in the realm of flavor. And my answers will be in flavor form. Don’t expect to ask me who scum is either.

Try different things. I gave you a lot of tries per day for a reason.

Now a couple reminders about how this differs from a normal mafia game. Whenever deadline is reached without somebody dying, OR if a hammer results in no deaths, the day will be extended 24 hours and a pre-decided thing will happen. It will be the same thing every time.

When a scum-aligned player dies, they also become Severed. They still die though too. The reason that’s important is that Severed limbs are a requirement for town’s wincon. Technically it’s not for scum to be dead, although one follows the other.

Okay that seems to be it. Have fun!!
