I would love to see someone like Jeod or Shade take the reigns of that role. Shade can't fake another style to save his life. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, no you wouldn't, the game is too heavily focused on the Mastermind and whatever they do, which more often than not means they basically wind up throwing the game to Town because they got the entire Mafia team killed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Category 5 Hurricane Posted May 6, 2020 Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 I can see Orange or TheIrishman attempting it. Actually I feel like anyone who likes TP roles would do it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the result I remember from the CABAL game. Scum was winning and then blew itself up and town was handed victory. However, it hurts town in the sense that they could lose quicker as mafia could in theory reach majority faster. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd probably make more sense with each mafia player being devoted to a different chaos god, and all of them where trying to eliminate each other. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeP47 Posted May 6, 2020 Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 Not with mastermind, but I have seen multi-scum faction games run with larger playercounts before, so yeah, it's a thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That reminds me too much of warhammer mafia 2 for me to attempt again lol. Was a trainwreck. I was thinking tau or eldar manipulating everyone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throw in a sanity meter for players along with HP, and a public order bar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shade939 Posted May 6, 2020 Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 Or maybe I'd consider using that one for myself, give you a chance to actually play in a wH40K game this time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame it's pretty much dead and you need to use Hamachi or Tunngle to play it co-op (I think). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Category 5 Hurricane Posted May 6, 2020 Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 They dropped the "Police Quest" moniker starting at SWAT 3, so I guess they no longer consider the SWAT series to be part of Police Quest. They don't appear to be included in that pack. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iLikeToSnipe Posted May 6, 2020 Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 2 hours ago, Category 5 Hurricane said: If this role is really happening, it's the first time I've played in a game that had this. Though I remember seeing it play out in a game once before I started playing. Someone playing as CABAL. I actually ran that way back when, was a Tib Sun themed game iirc (can't find the notes anywhere). Wasn't balanced well imo and the CABAL role was more of a mastermind/cult leader who had a Kane mafia/mastermind player keeping them in check. Biggest issue is that something like that starts to depend on the player for balance and not the role. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggest issue is that something like that starts to depend on the player for balance and not the role. I think that's always the case though, no matter what role a player has, ultimately how well they do should come down to their choices. An unbalanced role tends to overly penalize players for playing badly, outside of the fact that they're not already not getting the optimal results for it. You can't expect your players to play perfectly, and you can't expect them to make nothing but mistakes either, but you still need to balance out a role in regards to both circumstances. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
