Game Over - Mafia Victory

…we need to make ties even less incentive than it already is.

Ties are generally held between two or three players, so surely people won’t try to make ties… (especially if it never benefits them.)

If 1: Execute sole player
If 2~3: Execute random in tie
If 4+: Execute random in tie, prioritizing Town
If all living players have one vote on them: End the game in draw/tie

Overriding all of the above, if [sleep] / [No Exe] is in tie: No execution

town in an almost sweep game’s xylo

I actually had a mostly-coherent (if not entirely sensible) dream last night

I guess it did kinda end with a very angry bear attacking a bunch of people next door out of nowhere but like up until that it was basically one plot line about helping a friend of mine (as far as I can remember not based on any real life person, although there were irl people in the dream as well) with packing stuff to move out of a house we apparently shared

Ok but why

Randing between ties is fine.

The elimination is village KP in the same way the factional is wolf KP. The important thing for the village is that they use that kill each and every opportunity (barring XYLO scenarios where you sleep because it doesn’t affect the total number of kills). Randomness affecting the outcome like a tie does can seem like it has this negative, undesirable influence on the outcome, but it’s rare that anyone is actually surprised by the tie. Like each voter can choose to make it not random if they really wanted to, but often opt into the 50% chance to kill the player they want instead of a 100% chance to kill the other player. It’s not a mechanic that inherently favors either side, and it does have some moderately interesting effects on gameplay like you can see how players react to ties, and try to divine information from that. It’s not a thing that necessarily happens every game, but it is something that can be considered and discussed and played around strategically potentially. It’s pretty benign all things considered. Sure it’s tough when a rand doesn’t go your way, but whipping votes is literally part of gameplay and either you whipped enough to make it a coin flip or someone else did to have a chance of going theirs. It’s a totally fine thing to have in games.

The average bang! player on bga is so utter garbage at the game its mindblowing. And then they write insane messages in chat. Every third game you get the equivalent of a villager shooting a town revealed IC. Just had a game where the equivalent of all wolves outing to shoot merlin on turn 1 would have put him at near death, i had a monster hand, and my teammates didnt shoot him, left me to die, told me i don’t know how to play the game, and that “you shouldn’t reveal your identity” and then i saw them lose. It was the equivalent of 90% of a situation of wolves refusing to hammer in locked votes lylo after town misvotes, but they think “u shouldn’t reveal ur identity” so they just didnt hammer lol. Im. If u think the average newer mafia player does silly stuff in mafia games wait until u see what the average troglodyte does in non-communicative social deduction-adjacent games. At least in text form social deduction games ppl can be held accountable for baffling behavior, but u cant in games without communication. You cannot even report gamethrowing on bga, you can only give a red thumbs down for “kingmaking” and that only makes it so they can’t join ur lobbies and ur just giving them minus reputation. I shouldn’t play the game anymore and it sucks coz i rly like it its so incredibly addicting to me but most of the players are gabrage. Bga isnt suited for team based pvp games, u cant do that without wanting to moderate gamethrowing. Spits
