XCOM. The eXtraterrestrial COMbat force. Created by the council of nations in the summer of 1997 as an organisation dedicated to being a last defence against a potential alien invasion. Not many nations agreed to it, due to the high unlikeliness that any aliens would come to visit us, let alone attack. However, On March 1st of 2015, XCOM was officially activated as the first confirmed Alien abduction attempt was confirmed to be taking place in Hamburg, a German city. While that first mission went somewhat poorly, with only 1 soldier out of the 4 deployed surviving the ordeal, the leaders of XCOM were not perturbed, and continued to build XCOM into a force that could respond effectively to the Aliens superior technology. After this incident, the other nations that had previously disagreed with the X-COM initiative started funding it. X-COM was a force to be reckoned with, so it said, however they didn't know what they were truly up against.
It is now September 26th 2015 and the Aliens attacks have become more random and more fierce, in an attempt to counter this, the science department went to the test facility on Cheyenne Mountain, only a few miles from the XCOM HQ, to test some a new gene modification formula on some test dummies, which is too dangerous to do inside the HQ due to explosion risk. However in the middle of the test the facility was assaulted by Aliens. How they found the facility and how they managed to time the attack so well is still unknown, but the violence of the attack led to both the barriers protecting the experiment and the containers themselves, causing a massive explosion. Luckily, the explosion did not breach the outer walls, however a dangerous side-effect came with it. Everyone who was not wearing protective gear now has identical genes. Including the Aliens. The scientists that were wearing protective gear managed to get the afflicted transported back to base and isolated from everyone else, but when they were questioned about who went on the trip, it was found that the scientists weren't entirely unaffiliated. None of them could remember who accompanied them on the test and all of the documents regarding it were lost in the explosion. The Council has shown that they are just as baffled as everyone else, but eventually they suggested that the afflicted “sort it out themselves”, given that there was no way the science team would be able to find out their identities without killing them all in the process. Left with no other choice, the science team told the afflicted to play it by ear and find the Aliens themselves, choosing one person they believe to be evil each day. Almost like a game of Mafia.

Every night you may choose to jail or execute somebody. To Jail somebody, you must message your Moderator during the day telling them who you would like to Jail. If you do not do this before the day is over - you jail no one. The prisoner will be allowed a 1000 character limit to share a defense with you. (NOTE: Jailed Aliens will lose the ability to communicate with other Aliens, and they will be unable to see the Alien Chat.) If you jail somebody they will be roleblocked and cannot use their night ability, even if they are normally roleblock immune. However, all night actions fail against your target, unless they are someone with an Investigative night ability. If you execute somebody, they will be roleblocked and killed. An execution will kill anybody, even roles immune to other forms of night killing. If you execute a XCOM member, you can not execute anybody else for the remainder of the game. You will still be able to jail people though. You can execute up to 3 times. You may execute on any night.

Is the game balanced with a D1 lynch in mind? There is no way that you can coordinate 20 people to make a lynch in 24 hours. Psst you never saw me misunderstand the meaning of normal length.

Honestly I don't like this game to play in, but it's a good idea. It's just to anti town sided for my liking. Mainly it's the debuffing of so many Town roles with the increased killing rate of Mafia. The only way I would play it is if Citizen couldn't be rolled as a Random Town because of how weak the Town already is.
Hiphoplog wrote:The only way I would play it is if Citizen couldn't be rolled as a Random Town because of how weak the Town already is.
I'm iffy about that exact idea but I see where you are coming from. And Kirize that confirms both a Doctor and a BG in the game, even when you ignore the fact that 2 BG blocks is ridiculous, which is something I want to avoid.
Updates: Cit is now rolled 3 instead 5 times in RT and may only be rolled once instead of twice. Witch has been moved to Mafia Support and now alerts its target that they were controlled.
ICECLIMBERS wrote:Why is witch mafia-aligned? If it can coordinate with the mafia through night chat then it's just a buffed consort.
The fact that its 3-shot was meant to make it more on a level playing field when compared to Consort. If people think that is still too strong I'll probably go with what Alzar suggested and make it 2-shot.
Because I didn't feel that it would work in a Town v Mafia setup and would encourage cross-visiting purely to fool a potential spy. There are probably more reasons that I could think of but that's the general gist of it.
TrueGent wrote:Update: Jailor no longer shows up in Lookout and Agent results. Agents restriction on watching jailed Mafia members has been removed.
Question: Do you think that Witch is fine as a 3-shot Mafia Support or should it be nerfed in some way?
Well the closest equivalent to witch is consort. Consort can block a doctor, thus preventing the efficient use of one town action. Witch can put an escort on the doctor, thus preventing the efficient use of two town actions. Consort can stop a vig from shooting, witch can make them misfire or even place a bodyguard onto the target. So yes, witch would need to be nerfed. It's power is one reason why it's neutral to begin with.

Reviewed this game not in this thread, but whatever. Role list looks fine, Witch changes are interesting, BM/Agent balance choice is #goodenough, Vet nerf is good, vig is 2shot which is 10/10, D1 lynch is god. Obligatory yes vote.
/vote yes -like rolelist -Witch turned into mafia is interesting -day one lynch = yes inc. -various other balance changes are good

Cakez takes the game in another level, and we will be blessed if we ever see a player with his skill and passion for the game again. gobln breaks records. FurCakez breaks the rules.

Sheriff being changed to parity cop isn't really needed. Especially since this game has the potential to be decided fairly quickly (I think town loses after two mislynches? And with 6 mafia that's a lot of power to make a mislynch). Framer buff is redundant. It should focus on false positives, not false negatives. Otherwise you'll just unframe your teammates since that would be the most efficient use. Also Godfather is already investigative-immune.

The change to Parity Cop was made because in a game with no neutrals a NS result basically means "Town or GF", which I'm not convinced is particularly healthy tbh. I was 50/50 on whether the Framer change was needed. It was more of a "sure lets see what people think about this".
