Mod VS. Mod Game

by **shieldgenerator7** on Thu Sep 29, 2011 4:41 pm

I had this idea of having a Mod VS. Mod game, where one mod makes half the roles and the other mod makes the other half.

Say we have a 20 players, one mod makes 10 roles and the other makes 10 roles. All of them are townies, and they don't know who each other are. The object of the game is to get rid of the other townies. The mod wins when the townies with his roles eliminate the other mod's players, and the players win when their townies are the only ones left.

The mods know who their players are and what roles they have, but the players themselves only know their roles, but do not know who their mod is. This can be accomplished by having players send night actions to both mods, or to a supervisor mod who isn't playing, but just keeps track of night actions.

My thoughts were all roles were possible and fair game, even masoner (but not starting masons), because the townies don't know who's on their side. Of course, this raises a question: what is the purpose of lynching? Maybe both mods can have a small mafia faction to rival the townies, and have a game with 2 objectives, and 4 different parties all trying for a win. You beat the other mod's players? great, now find your mod's mafia. You beat your mod's mafia? Great, now find the other mod's players.

Sound interesting? Tell me what you think.

I'll make 10 (infinite) bulletproof doublevoters.

And I'll make 10 unlynchable triple voters.

I kind of like the idea but it will require a lot of restrictions to make it so the game isn't unbalanced.

Yeah, I think we'd have to have a third mod run the game, the two mods would be way too biased to actually run a game properly.

Agreed. The idea sounds really cool, but I'm not sure how to do it in practice. I hope you figure it out.

Why not do a faction game. Three mods each with a faction. Theres a certain list of roles(Points based) they can possibly hand out, more powerful costing more points. So that one faction could be a vig and cop with a bunch of vts or a bunch of bodygaurds.

yeah, there'd need to be some way to balance it out.
I like your idea naxus, maybe we can have 1 point cost for each ability, and each mod has 10 points to spend.
Maybe make bulletproof and unlynchable cost 2 points, so there won't be a fleet of unkillable townies. Or maybe not have these as options.
I think double voting and triple voting is ok, mostly because the townies won't know who their mod is and who is on their team. So their ability could hurt or help them.
Along with bulletproof and unlynchable is masons. We can't a mod mason all his players because then they'd know who's on their team. So maybe make mason worth 2 points for 2 townies, or have a townie with masoning ability (this way there's a chance he will mason with townies from the opposing team).

1 governor and 9 vigilantes.

I'd make 10 voteless hated townies.

Also this gives me a good idea for a game x3.

I'm actually thinking about making this my next game. i'm still thinking about mechanics tho, and I might want a co-mod to help look over the guidelines real quick
