Santa Themed Round

almost 8 years

HO HO HO. It's that time of the year again.

In the spirit of Christmas, the next competitive round will be a Santa themed round. Every Competitive setup MUST have the Santa role in there. So the winners of this round will be choosing setups with the Santa role in them.

As an added bonus, I will be giving 20 tokens to the person I deem to have created the most balanced and best Santa themed setup! (Don't use 3rd party roles in the setups for comp balance reasons)

Below, you can submit a setup you think is balanced, I (or another mod) can mod plus it, so you can play it ranked to test. I'll be choosing the best setup by the end of the round!

Here are a few examples of good balanced Santa setups: https://epicmafia.com/setup/1277946 https://epicmafia.com/setup/1279331 https://epicmafia.com/setup/1277983

Good luck! And Merry Christmas.

People can't not hipfire or shoot night one as vig. How many games do you think are going to be ruined by bread-guns this round?

deletedalmost 8 years

Just let any role be competitive this round if you're doing this santa thing. Everyone is going to hand out bread anyway.

Close role setups can't

YES! A sandbox round is the BEST IDEA. I've been pleading for a closed role sandbox setup competition FOREVER.

I'd rather this than a santa round. With the santa round, the competitive integrity of the round is ruined AND it's not fun. Everyone loses.

Yep.

I don't care when some awful troll setup or 5 gets comped every round, but it sucks when you forcibly impose it upon people.

It would have been better for everyone to have to pick one not two.

Why not just let it be a sandbox round? It might as well be.

For Christmas, our present is a troll role that lets people hand out bread?

Well it doesn't have anything to do with religion here on EpicMafia

I'm sorry you don't like Santa but suck it up buttercup

deletedalmost 8 years

Well, not all of us are religious, and not all of us like the santa role.

I'd expect that, at least for me personally, my passion and desire for Christmas will reignite when I have my own family with kids.

Is it just me or can nobody else get in the "Christmas spirit" anymore

I've thought about this too.

I think it has to do with the loss of nostalgia from when you were a child.

Christmas used to give me a very warm, happy feeling in my stomach. I looked forward to so much fun. It definitely still is fun and a nice break from the normal day-to-day that happens the other many days of the year, but nothing like when I was a child.

Age, maturity, seeing more of the world from a different perspective and understanding evil, and the toll it takes on your wallet sure does change how Christmas is viewed.

That's all just materialistic and physical/mental burdens, too. It doesn't include the spiritual and religious aspects to the holiday.

That's not the right spirit

I propose comping at least one real setup if this is real

a quick explanation about the setup:

the way its played is similar to the "hell yeah" setup,i replaced villagers with sleepwalkers so that it lower the chances of santa having a report d1(3 visiting town roles and 2 visiting mafias), sheriff with bleeder and bs with santa which is a superior pr. and i added actress for balance and scumhunting purposes.

D1 : bleeder must out and everyone will nl
N2 : santa gun bleeder. mafia must hit bleeder n1 or they will give to town another ml ( 2nd gun)
D2 : i think that both of lawyer and actress can cc but its optimal for lawyer to cc because actress can act and hooker will be lawyered. bleeder will shoot in ccs

Christmas-themed POE mechanical scumhunt.

Like most of my setups there is a basic underlying strategy, with plenty of room to adapt and experiment for both teams.

https://epicmafia.com/setup/1379778

Here is version 2, tweaked to be a little more townsided.

- Added wills to prevent autoloss if mafia is gunned with dead Santa.
- Replaced Stalker with Gramps to give Santa higher chance of getting a report.

first 1 was better

Don't shoot the Santa!

writing description of gameplay now.

Also you shouldnt luck be looking for balance - you can throw a snowman into any setup, they should have to actually play a core part in the setups mechanics.

btw santa will always make setups town sided, i think the snowman role is a lot more easy to balance competitively than santa but what do i know lol
