Mafia #52: Serial Killer Showdown

There will be a group of Mafia that may communicate outside the thread. Each night they can submit a person to be Hit. Mafia win when they are equal or greater in numbers than the Citizens + Serial Killer.

There will be a single Serial Killer. The SK is in it for themselves, they can align themselves with the Mafia or the Citizens or kill willy-nilly as they like. They do not have to kill someone every night, but they can if they so choose. The SK wins if they survive till either the Mafia or Town win the game.

There will be a Doctor that can protect one person nightly. This person will be immune to Hits from the Mafia or the SK. The Doctor can protect themselves.

The Citizens will vote to Lynch someone each day in an attempt to strike down the Mafia and a rampant SK. They can win the game by eliminating all the Mafia. They do not have to eliminate the SK to win.

Typically the townies win when all threats against the town are eliminated, meaning that the SK should also be lynched before the town can claim victory... This means the SK would only win when they're the last man standing...unless you're intentionally creating a serial killer/survivor hybrid role.

Yeah I gave the SK an extra out since their chances would be slim enough. I may retool it before the final release.
 
I read it like the town wants the SK on their side, so he/she can help get rid of mafia if they choose to...

However, my only fear is that the SK will just sit back and kill whomever they like which I think ruins the premise of the game. If there is more incentive for them to stay alive I think it would be more fair to the town. That doesn't mean that the town has to kill the SK to win but somehow make it so they actually have to survive.
 
Sounds interesting. Ready to go whenever...

Thanks for modding, Zsand.

I think that's what Z planned. The SK only wins if they're alive at the end of the game... Problem is survivor roles (ie, you win as long as you stay alive) tend to encourage lurking. If you eliminate the 'survivor' aspect of the SK role, they'll try a lot harder, as at some point the mafia will know who they are and kill them...so the SK will want to kill the mafia first
 
I'll add to the above that I am pondering having no UDs, so if there are lurkers they will need to be flushed by the town or the mob. I think the UDs are really killing the game, and this may encourage them to publish or perish so to speak.

Also, at least once during the game Bala will release a Most Wanted List, that will contain the name of the SK and perhaps a Mafia or two.

Thoughts? I don't want it to be complicated but I don't want it to be vanilla either.

I'd like to play but can't - July is going to be crazy busy in work. One observation only - isn't the Doctor protecting themselves redundant if he/she is immune from Mafia or SK hits.

Ah bad wording, what I meant was that the person the Doctor protects is immune from the Mafia and the SKs Hits. The Doctor would be overpowered if they were by default protected from both Hits.
 
Is there a signup thread?

I also want a crack at modding again, but a simple game.
