[Review PT] Weird Dreams Mafia Redux

[Jingle]

I'm a little too drunk to do it at the moment, but I'll take a crack at clears/guilties and interactions tomorrow.

[Korina]

nahhhh all g, i am stoned out of my mind.

[Korina]

I’ll try to post role pms later today

[Jingle]

A few new questions. Do runners show up as being able to communicate while they're running? I would assume the answer is yes, but you may want to specifically exclude that.

Does cult recruit or TA resolve first? (If a player is recruited to the cult the same night as they are investigated for their ability to speak with people, do they show up as being able to talk to the mentor?)

If a passive invention is chosen by the nightmare, does it still resolve at daystart or is it given immediately? Specifically, can a 1shot bp be given that would stop kills that night?

[Korina]

1) Runners give a positive to the TA when in the PT. Notably, when the night ends, if that's the only reason a TA gets a positive, unless they take the neighborhood power, the TA will get a negative again.
2) Cult resolves after a TA check goes through in my mind, but I could agree to it resolving *before* the TA goes through. The only reason why I say after is because in my mind, this player has no communication with them until daystart, and therefore a TA wouldn't see that until daystart. Any other investigatives, I think are fine to see the cult happen before.
3) Passives are awarded immediately at the beginning of night, and would be given to a player at that time, meaning a 1-shot bp invention could stop a kill that night.

[Jingle]

1) Runners give a positive to the TA when in the PT. Notably, when the night ends, if that's the only reason a TA gets a positive, unless they take the neighborhood power, the TA will get a negative again.

Just to clarify do you mean that they would receive a result of yes, then a result of no at daystart, based on one target or that if they targeted them again they would receive a result of no since they no longer had a means of communication?

I don't see any egregious interactions or problems and the balance seems within acceptable limits to me.

I'd definitely let your players know its a swingy and bastard setup, with the caveat that all information provided in role PMs and the OP is correct.

[Korina]

TA checks someone in the nightmare on n1, would return a positive, since they had access to the PT that night.

Ta checks them again N2, and they have another PT: still positive, due to having that other PT.
TA checks again N2 and they have no other PTs: negative result, due to nightmare being the positive result.

[Korina]

Also, I’ll post PMs tonight or tomorrow so y’all can look at the explicit wording for everyone.

[Korina]

Nightmare Redux

Once again, the Nightmare returns, this time as The Nightmare Redux. Players will once again be voting on Inventions to award someone else in the game, but there's some more interesting options, and a more dynamic selection of player pool. The minimum amount of players needed for The Nightmare Redux to be available is 7. If the game drops below 7 players, The Nightmare Redux will cease to be available.

Additionally, in contrast from the first go-around, the amount of players allowed to participate is dynamic.

A minimum of five players are required to run The Nightmare Redux each night, while it is available,

but the maximum number of players allowed to participate is the number of players

still alive

. There is a whole list of actions available for the Runners to vote on.

If there is no ability that can be awarded with the number of Runners, the Nightmare will occur, but players will be unable to award any ability.

Actions requiring Five Players:

~

Inquiry

: Runners will vote on one question to ask the moderator about another player's role, excluding anything alignment specific. The answer to this question will be posted at day-start. The full exceptions to this is listed at the bottom.
~

Double Vote

: Runners will vote on one player to award a double-vote to. This double-vote will be publicly revealed.
~

Vigilante

: Runners will vote one player to kill tonight. This player will not flip their Role PM publicly, and it will instead be posted in the Nightmare PT should it be successful. Their alignment will still be revealed.

Actions Requiring Seven Players or less

:
~

Normal Invention

: Runners will vote on a Normal invention to award to another player. Inventions can have one modifier, and one action, but must fit into the Normal guidelines. If I have to message Implosion about it and ask, it's not normal. There are specific roles you can give, and are detailed below.
~

Friendly Neighbor

: Runners will vote on one player to award a 1-Shot Friendly Neighbor invention to. This ability will fail to be awarded to a player who is not aligned with

The Good Dreams

, and this player will

not

be informed of this happening.
~

Cop

: Runners will vote on one player to award a 1-Shot Cop invention to. Results are given as "Horrible Dream" or "Not A Horrible Dream."

Actions Requiring Nine Players or less

:
~

Housing

: The Nightmare PT will remain open at the end of the night, and will function as a Neighborhood for the rest of the game.
~

Roleblock

: Runners will vote on one player to award a 1-Shot Roleblock invention to.
~

Tree Stumps

: The Runners will vote on one player in the Dead PT to become a Tree Stump, or one living player to become a Tree Stump upon their death.

Spoiler: Exceptions to Inquiry

All alignment specific questions are prohibited, which include such questions as "Is X (alignment)", "Is X (role specific to one faction)?", "Is X aligned with Y?", or "Can X win with Y?". A notable inclusion to this list is the question: "Can this player change the alignment of another?" This list is not fully cohesive, and will never be fully cohesive. In the event I reject your question, I will substitute it with the

best

alternative I can think of.

Addendum added in the review of this game: "What is the name of X's alignment" is specifically banned too, and this ability is not limited to yes/no questions, but you'll likely get the best results out of yes/no questions.

Strange Dreams Mafia Redux

I once had a dream that instead of Carl or any other generic four-letter name, there was Eric. Eric did not like me. He didn't want to talk to me, and instead, he decided to pull up my entire internet history and present it to me in the most accusatory way possible. One thing he presented to me was MafiaScum and I didn't like how he asked me about MafiaScum.

I did three changes in these:

1) Final Dreamer cannot give any cop/cop-like roles, is limited to two total of any tracker/watcher/follower/etc like roles, and cannot award the same role/modifier twice in a row.
2) I changed Face Trader's cop to a tracker so it feels like Grand Ole One does *something* at least once with Ninja.
3) I gave the UB informed, and told them certain roles in the game are unique and cannot be obtained by them. This changes nothing in the game, but I feel like it's a little better for them to know ahead of time they can't be *every* role in the game.

I think leaving the nightmare invention pool open is acceptable as well.

I do think you should get rid of the Whiteflag on the traitors, because as it is it's impossible for their traitor wincon to trigger. The fact that the town traitor can out and take the scum traitor down as well as the fact that the traitors can kill should mean the reason traitors normally whiteflag is irrelevant anyway (long gamestates where their victory is functionally impossible).

The sample mentee PM saying [and now aligned] instead of [and aligned] is redundant and a little awkward, but doesn't need to be fixed because it's still clear what you mean.

Otherwise, everything looks good to go.

I finished reading now.
I somewhat agree with Jingle on the White Flag thing.
