Speaking of cops, I think in the upcoming GAFia game, mayor/confirmed townie should be Xamtheking.

How can he roleclaim if he's confirmed townie though?
That was some horrendous luck. Scum couldn't catch a break in that game
Some mayor roles have a daytime command to show their role pm, like my reveal in VI.
Hey I already have cop game. It's the next minigames.
I was thinking something more like HP. Something where scum has a 0% chance of winning!
Hey I already have cop game
Is it a cop game where every towny is a miller, and every scum a godfather?
(we should run some broken ass, unbalanced as hell, just for fun games
I already did!(we should run some broken ass, unbalanced as hell, just for fun games
Hey, for how weird volcano island was, and while it did had some balancing issues, I think it was balanced better then it had any right to be!
We should hide Night Vale from new players. It would give them the wrong impression.
Quiet D1, no unnecessary gambits, neutral siding with town, scum lynched with no drama...
*shudders*
Every game goes like this. Join us and be happy!

Hey guys, sorry about the inactivity D:
The fun thing is you have no idea what you're getting into. Wasn't woof supposed to be "normal"?
That was woof. Now woof2 though
..I had even more fun in woof2. My favorite gafia game so far.

No no, every townie is a straight cop. Every scum is a switcher.
That would be like 4 switchers. Come on coppa, as the inventor of #switcherorgy, I expected more.

I've always wanted to be in this situation, if only to write up the stupidest plans in that chat so as to fuck with my dead teammates
Really? At this point I find it less stressful. There's so much more guesswork with town, and you can come into the thread more collected if you rant or discuss feelings and vibes in a chat first
Only problem is if teammates are inactive, on which case you're dragging your entire team down
That's probably my biggest weakness when scum. I did a bad job with king kitty in Harry potter.
That being said, Xam I refuse to regret. Every single mafia team that has had a member go down day 1 is setting themselves up for going put like chumps (sorry GAFIA scum, your plan was good though).

You have a month? Probably two? You could write a book about the behind the scenes of HP!
No staph pls
Don't go down that route
I would think the overbearing number of cops would force us to have more switchers. Alternatively, each scum member has access to 2 + (X - y) switches per night, where X is the total number of scum team and y is the number of remaining scum players.
Edit: Also I've always considered Tim the inventor of SwitcherOrgy. I was key in carrying it out and even getting it to a point where it could happen, but it was all him who came up with it.
1. every scum switches himself with a different cop. So scum 1 (S1) switches himself with Town 1 (T1). S2 <-> T2 etc
2. T1 throws a red check, S1 throws a green check, every time.
3. red checks now indicate towniness.
Sometimes I lay awake at night wondering if I resolved that WATCH command correctly...
I saw that edit, you realized the same thing I did lol
Yeah but there's also only so many cops and so many townies. And how do you know if someone claiming to have been a cop is telling the truth when it could be a scum lying? Also scum could very easily use that assumption to their advantage.
Also this setup is entirely open. Everyone knows the amount of scum, as well as the fact that all of scum are switchers and all of town are cops.

get out I loved NV
it was my first one too
Edit: let me rewrite these steps.
4. switch noone
5. S1 checks as scum, T1 checks as inno.
6. scum is now scum again
7. repeat steps 1-6 infinitely.
8. Checks are worthless.

It's easy being scum. You have a team, so you can bounce ideas off them, vote together, post reads, etc. The real fun begins when you're found out at night, and then you have to construct an elaborate role claim to save yourself.
When you're town/neutral, unless you're a mason/lover you're on your own. You can't trust anyone and your ironclad lynch argument can get the doctor killed. You're sweating buckets every night, hoping you don't die before you can post a pre-typed message the next day.

It actually doesn't suffer from power creep I think. I used an actual set of Ultimate Werewolf and the numbers mostly match up to about even. If it weren't for the game mechanics I added it would probably only be like a 5 or 6 on the crab scale I think.

I hate being scum. It's just so much more stressful because you can fuck over your whole team. I always have the feeling I'm personally letting them down...

Crab was a golden god in Harry Potter. Caught doing the Mafia kill N1, the entire scum team basically tried to bus him the rest of the game, and he still talked the town into lynching the alignment cop when he caught me.
Tbf, it was a neutral alignment cop....
I don't want to talk about HP. Can we stop guys?
I sorta kept posting long after Gorlak and LP died in MGS. Mostly just to amuse Ouro and others who were watching, but partly to give people an idea on my thought process as time went on.
That moment is long past now, so I don't really remember what I would have done. I play these games very reflexively, for better or worse.

When did we ever squirm? I must have given yu that impression, but I tend to exaggerate in the dead threads
You have a month? Probably two? You could write a book about the behind the scenes of HP!
I am working on the novelization its called:
"Tricks and Illusions: How to confuse your friends and make new enemies in the way!"
I am still sad I was steamrolled with work and school by the end of it so I was not able to supervised properly. Its part of the reason why I didn't sign up for Season 5, I felt like such a failure.
