i think the concept could work for 16p throne of lies semi-longform
the conversion is what makes this tough
I don’t know if people would enjoy playing it tho
they shot drunk it’s so mafiover
You feel less obligated to Be In Scumchat all the time too. Like. In normal mafia you can mech plan your heads off to your heart’s content. In BotC you have to silently signal to each other from across the room and I think that’s fun

funny thing for may “control freak” flowers to say
I do kinda wanna try a “only night” scumchat tho
i’m surprised it was removed when like ‘make it 1 or 2 uses’ fixes the problems
It seems like a novelty more than anything but
my first game had a night only scumchat and it was uh
Being a control freak in a game that’s out of your control is unpleasant. Removing avenues for me to do that is pleasant
stupider idea: to simulate the thing where the only way to communicate with the convert was sending a message in the night action window, the convert is added to scumchat as soon as practically feasible during the action processing window, and you can talk to them up until daystart, at which point you have to stop
(probably you just solve this by prewriting messages, I don’t think there’s a practical way to stop them from seeing scumchat message history. but it’s funny to imagine)
it can be a nice change of pace
I wouldn’t give it up in any instance unless there was a good reason to
I’ve found that 24/7 chat makes people enjoy playing scum much much more than any alternative
my wolfteam was big and had an asshole on it who did not follow any plans
and got 90% of us killed
now this is immersion
I think that if you want to include whispers then you’d do it using a discord bot
This also means MM little bird functions
stupidest idea: to attempt to convert someone, you have to roleplay converting them
so my experience with night only wolfchat where i can’t yell at them to follow our fucking plans is kind of poisoned
