[setup] dance besties

Spoiler: original idea
  • two members of the town will be besties and be informed of each other's identities at the start of the game
  • each player may propose a pairing of two other players during the pairing phase
  • a pairing will form if both of those players accept the proposal
  • any unpaired players by the end of the pairing phase will be forced to leave the dance
  • there will be an unlimited amount of dance phases, with each ending upon a pair leaving the dance
  • there will be no intermission but a member of the scum may at any point during the dance phase publicly guess who the two besties are (including guessing deceased players)
  • if the scum manage to guess the besties, they will instantly win; otherwise, normal win conditions will apply
  • only alignments will flip

you also forgot to put the alignement ratios, which idk, i think it would be balanced at the normal dance numbers?
yes and good catch.
i was intending to go for regular alignment ratios.

true.
what do you think of having a 3n:n ratio where n is the amount of scum?

i might change it to let people start with a partner then and remove the shipping mechanic.

Spoiler: setup variation i
  • players sign up as a pair with another player
  • two members of the town will be besties and be informed of each other's identities at the start of the game
  • during the reception phase, players may choose to swap dance partners
  • there will be an unlimited amount of dance phases, with each ending upon a pair leaving the dance
  • at any point during a dance, a player may choose to force their own pair to leave the dance
  • there will be no intermission but a member of the scum may at any point during the dance phase publicly guess who the two besties are (including guessing deceased players)
  • if the scum manage to guess the besties, they will instantly win; otherwise, normal win conditions will apply
  • only alignments will flip
