it could just because stagnant but that’s a risk you’ll have to figure out midgame

people could just announce what the-

#17444

what does this do thbthtthbthbthb

#17445

why wouldn’t people just announce what flavour theyre picking again

#17446

gives you 3 votes, but if over half of the playerbase takes it something bad happens

also the mech becomes useless when the nea dies but i assume that’s a sacrifice you’re willing to make

#17448

they can do this
it is probably a good strategy
there are some arguments against it (namely it lets the mafia have more info on who is likely to be protected, and possibly lets the mafia have nicer cover of “oh I was picking a non-vanilla role”) but it’s probably best

#17449
  1. they’d do that already
  2. that makes it harder cause they’d have to say they’d go vanilla sometime
#17450

there’s still interesting thoughts in how to handle protection but yeah for the most part it is

#17451

if people are claiming it early, then they don’t get checked in the first place

I think realistically what happens is people ~force the POE to pick vanilla, and have non-poe slots pick chocolate/strawberry

#17452

it’d be cooler if that could be prevented, obviously

tthtbthtbhtbthb it’s tempting to make the mafia obtain some benefit if they can guess all the flavors correctly (or perhaps more realistically, if they can guess a sufficient number of flavors correctly)

#17454

there’s obvious solutions like disallowing it, godfather, or mafia being able to force someone to choose a specific flavour but i don’t want to influence the design much

#17455

that being if you even want to try to change it

#17456

crich already has it in his drafts

I might? IDK
I think there’s a case for some changes, but there’s also a case that it’s fine as is

I wouldn’t do these though
these feel bad for various reasons

#17458

i figured
it’s your first? time designing a game so you should just do what your brain tells you to do and then you can learn in the future

#17459

I’ve designed some games before; not many though
namely, Jail - Mafia Victory

and one on hypixel which was a sort of F3 (people first vote for an King; if they vote the mafia here then mafia wins. Then if the King is town, they have to pick the mafia)
except to be more interesting, it was 3 groups of lovers instead (they share a vote and are essentially hydras except that they’re on their own accounts)

IDK if there are others
