[REVIEW] Open Setup Reviews

[Skygazer]

probably needs tweaks for balance and stuff but i like this concept, and was wondering how fun/unfun others would find this mechanic

tweaks i'm considering and would like some input on:
- guns and bombs could be disabled in elo maybe?
- maybe make the present a two-shot thing? idk

Ole Saint Nick's Perilous Presents

Premise

Oh no! The

Bad Kids

have deleted the naughty list.

Ole Saint Nick

will have to resort to some rather...

unconventional

techniques this year.

Roles

1 Ole Saint Nick
8 Good Kids

2 Bad Kids

Setup Info

-

Ole Saint Nick

is aligned with the

Good Kids

(the town).
- Each night,

Ole Saint Nick

may target any of the other players to give them a

Gun

or a

Bomb

.
- Either option will result in the target receiving a

Present

, but the target will not know if it's a

Gun

or a

Bomb

.
- Additionally, at the start of each day, the moderator will announce the recipient of the

Present

.
- The recipient of the

Present

may open it at any time by posting "

Open Present

" (in bold) in the game thread.
- If the recipient opens a

Bomb

, they will die instantly, and the day will continue with the vote count reset.
- If the recipient opens a

Gun

, they will receive one

Day Vig

.
- A

Day Vig

may be used by posting "

Shoot: {Player}

" (in bold) in the game thread. This instantly kills the targeted player, and the day will continue with the vote count reset.
- The

Bad Kids

(mafia) have a private thread (with day-talk) and a factional kill they may use each night.
- This game starts on a day phase (aka day-start) and uses majority vote elimination mechanics (which is typical of most games).

Welcome to Perilous Presents! You are

Ole Saint Nick

.

Each night, you may target another player to give them a

Present

Gun

Bomb

Present

Present

will be announced at the start of the next day by the moderator. Players may choose to publicly open the

Present

at any time. If a player opens a

Bomb

, they die instantly, and the day continues with the vote count reset. If a player opens a

Gun

, they receive one

Day Vig

, allowing them to publicly kill any other player during the day (if this occurs, the game will continue with the vote count reset).

what if i removed the announcement of the recipient? so only the recipient and OSN (ole saint nick) know? would open up more interesting claiming situations and make the game slightly harder for town
