Idea: Shared meets w/o assoc. role

over 8 years

Setup option suggestion. Rather than adding a role and screwing with the mafia's majority win timing or the availability of other information, or letting THE key informative role of a setup get n1ed or fall into incompetent hands, assign a meeting usually handled by a single role to an entire side.

Examples:

• A Quack meeting could be given to the mafia and they could vote for whoever they think should be protected.

• A private Watcher meeting could be given to each person in the village, with those who happen to vote with the majority receiving a report.

• A private Ghoul meeting could be given to each person in the village, and if a kill attempt is made on any of those who happen to vote with the majority, the target is killed instead. Just like the standard role, this would work only once.

• Two private Gunsmith meetings could be given to each person in the village. The most and second-most voted would receive guns. In a tie, the first two players to tie receive guns. If only one person has a majority vote on them, only they will receive a gun. If there is no majority vote, no one receives a gun.

In general, first one to hold the majority is prioritized.
One good way to coordinate a "no one" in Must Act would be to ask people to vote for the name after theirs alphabetically, or the first if they've got the last.

° oh god I'm laughing, an entire mafia could be given a Disguiser meeting and share the targeted player entity like kids in a trenchcoat, that one would be Fun™ to implement I'm sure.

In lobbies, the presence of such meetings in setups might be represented by their roles' icons, perhaps faded, perhaps with a colored dot (like red mafia), perhaps with a letter (below the role instance count), perhaps with a new symbol overlaid (like a remote control)... Alternatively, a generic icon for shared meetings, with all present listed on mouseover.

Well? Are new worlds of gameplay dynamics appearing before your eyes? Are you drawn to them like we all are to The Thing We Do Not Touch? Is this something that keeps coming up and has repeatedly been decided against for some reason I wouldn't know about because I didn't bother to search?

Another suggestion: Stickied messages for setups. https://epicmafia.com/topic/77318

I think this is a pretty cool idea, but I think it should be added as an option in setup creator, not a permanent change.

Literally the first three words. 8)

Others: To clarify, unlike mafia, town wouldn't share one meeting because of process of elimination. They'd each have their own, but the action is only successfully taken by majority voters. Will make that clearer.

You could do this in the role creator.

I would also like to point out that it tells you the number of towns, I think it really should be only for people that already have meeting if that makes sense.

If watcher meetings are shared with the town, won't you be able to figure out who the mafia is? If the mafia share the meeting, won't they be able to manipulate it, this seems flawed... unless we add TEMPLAR WATCHER.

I see what you mean. Really then, it should be anonymous with no talking.
