Balance Shmalance! That's sounds like a ton of fun to play, especially if you don't tell everyone first!
I have so many ideas baking in my head for both a main season regular type of mafia game and for mid season more experimental things. I really want to sit down one weekend and really get some stuff drawn up on paper. Maybe the 4 day weekend for Thanksgiving will be a good time.
There's a game we play sometimes called Shadow Hunters that has hidden roles/teams, combined with special abilities, and a board with locations that grant you abilities. Overall, it's Hunters vs Shadows, but the neutrals have a wide array of funny win conditions.
One of them, for example, if they haven't revealed their card, wins with the person to their right. If they are forced to reveal, they win with the person to their left. Another one needs to steal a specific set of divine artifacts. There's a tanner that wants to die first. A big game hunter that wants to kill a player with 12+ health(on a scale that goes from 7hp at the lowest, to 14 at highest).
You attack players in the same location as you by rolling a D4 and a D6, with the damage being the difference. So 0-5 damage, but I think 2 is the average.
Early game is usually jockeying for the better items, and investigating to find out who your team is. Middle game is starting to attack anyone you KNOW is not on your team. End game is usually a few people dead, almost everyone is revealed, and everyone is a single good roll from death.
It's fun, and I wish we could play it in a forum setting, but it has way too many decisions that have to be made on the fly based on what you've rolled for movement, etc.
Shadow Hunters is what we play when we want hidden role, but we have some of the low attention span players involved.
What's Lifeboat? I'm not familiar with it.
It's a good hobby. Get some of my gaming itches scratched while also being social! Nearly as expensive as video games for me though. Fucking Pandemic Legacy.

So... if you need a sub in Nightvale or Werewolf i am available...
i guess it is possible to get expelled from Hogwarts
. Restricted spells and out of bounds areas and all that.
Mods know what happened and maybe I can discuss it in the HP spectator thread.

Not asking for details obviously, just wanted to womp womp.
Also quoting so that YNNNY makes sure to see this post so she can update accordingly.
Lifeboat has a few things going on that make it more than just chatting and accusing, but the group dynamic is interesting.
You get a public role, but also two hidden cards - one with the character you love, and one with the character you hate. You want your loved one to survive the game, and you want the one you hate to be dead. At the end of the game, everybody scores based on these two imperatives.
Since it's a random deal, some very interesting networks of relationships and hidden motivations between people gets created in every game. People who love you aren't necessarily interested in you winning (it's not a team game), but they'll stand up for you to protect you. You might hate the person who loves you. You might hate someone who hates the person who hates you. You might love and/or hate yourself!

Fucking tanners.
Sounds interesting. I'll probably pick it up.
Sad to see that you have to leave the HP game Zipped
I don't know what happened, but hopefully it is nothing serious.Is this about the pm you send me? I already told you, there is nothing to worry about. But if you still feel like getting replaced I won´t stop you. Send me a pm if you want to be replaced, otherwise keep on playing.

Does a Lost-themed mafia end
(Spoilers if you haven't seen Lost, though I think the statute of limitations should have expired by now.)
with everyone dead? No one wins?

Until I'm in a new game I'll keep Kreacher, worked to hard to get his size right and zoomed in to change now...
Michael has to protect Walt. Can you imagine Blarg the entire game:
"THEY TOOK MAH BOOOOOOOYYYYYY WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLT!"
I like the idea of him being a Lightning Rod better.
Sawyer is a vigilante, obvs.
Sayid is the Investigator.
Locke is town aligned, but when killed becomes Mafia.
LOL, I like it.
Sun and Jin are Lovers who never get to see each other.
Hurley is a Bus Driver.

I have to say in my completely unbiased opinion that this would be an awesome idea for mafia.
Wouldn't that be Rose and Bernard?
The Rousseau's could be interest as neutrals too.
Then we could have people be removed randomly lol,
Serial killer smoke monster?
Nikki and Paolo roles that have to try and lynch each other?

after all nitroglycerin is extremely temperamental

I think the sheer amount of time Jin and Sun are apart due to time travel is longer than Rose and Bernard.
As for Nikki and Paolo - double Jesters! They only win if both are killed.
Also Mikhail - can only post without using the letter "i"
I don't want to be Boone
Make me Sawyer instead,he at least lives long.
You can be Eko. Pretty useful while he's around, but still dies way too early for no apparent reason.
Redirector. Anything that targets you randomly hits someone else instead.

Lol I was thinking that Nikki and Paolo could be jesters at first.
Claire could leave on day 2 before coming back on day 6 or some thing.
The rest of the boat people would be cool too.

I could always use 8-shot BP in my life. Stabbing Ouro seems like a bit much for me though, I don't like getting my hands dirty
I blame Retro for what he has done to us.
But what would be the fun in that? I like to keep people waiting, gives me power.
Goddammit Death Eaters! I was having so much fun too! Harry Potter is best flavor ;_;
The funny thing is, i kind of suspected i would die lol...
Put me on the replacement list, yeeny!
