Cookie Thread Act 4 (Act 5): The Fifth One

yeah that’s the problem with ‘if these specific town people die then lose’ since a theoretically perfect wolfteam or theoretically fucking awful masons can ruin the experience for the rest of the game

it’s been tried a decent bit but you have to accept that the basic idea is probably not great in the basic fm framework

a VIP situation works best I’d imagine in a system far more incremental in terms of tangible gains like project winter

The reason I liked the miller as a hypothetical small adjustment is that it removes some of the awkward unfun little bits of the original setup. Specifically the fact that it’s super easy to be hard outed wolf and still be technically in the game while having, like, zero reason to post in thread. Mason hunting means it’s not literally nothing to do but it’s so awkward

consider looking into push the button
genuinely had the exact same challenges and their solutions are interesting

push the button fucking sucks at max playercount

well, they didn’t have the masons thing
but the basic ideas are there and it’s fairly scumsided fmu so working backwards might help

To be fair, much of Push the Button’s scum-sidedness is that you only get one jail.

yeah
it’s different but that is probably a good thing in terms of taking ideas

on the old site there were 2 ‘VIP’ style games

one was hosted by twilight the other by psycho
I can’t reconstruct the psycho one from memory but as for the one by twilight

vip inno child (knows identities of the bodyguards, reveals on d1)
1-shot bulletproof bodyguard (while alive, wolves cannot attack the inno child)
godfather bodyguard (peeks as vt to checks)
?? vt

mafia strongman
mafia rolecop
I think a mafia backup

standard fm elim and factional

Okay. I think I have enough materials.
This one… is indeed a clusterf***.

Still better than the original two this thing was based on though.

Think it was a worse combinatorics game with the three IC’s and the no one else dying besides the three jailers iirc
