Though I'm really busy and might not be on a day or two, I'll join! Please treat me nicely; this is my first time playing a game on DCTP.

P.S. If you have a question, do you post in this forum or just PM the GM?

[Jd-]

Some old and new faces alike have joined the fray...! Still a maximum of 8 spots open for anyone else out there!

Definitely PM the GM with any and all concerns once the game has started. Until then, you can post any problems/questions/concerns here.

Civilian lists are partially revealed upon death, BUT:

Once killed by the Spy, a civilian's list will be partially announced by the GM, with three random names revealed while the rest remain illegible. These revealed lists are valuable to all players, so strategize accordingly. After the first death, the second and proceeding deaths all will reveal only TWO names, which will likewise be completely random. Note that this does not apply to arrests. Lists of arrested players will remain private.

As the reveal, the GM may post something akin to:

"A piece of paper was found among their belongings. It read:

1) KleeneOnigiri
2) [illegible]
3) shinichi'sapprentice
4) [illegible]
5) [illegible]
6) kkslider5552000
7) [illegible]

The remaining names on the list are illegible and can't be read."

This sounds like a mafia game, however there are only two mafia (spy and informant) and the civillians are given more information than in a normal mafia game. Which, of course, would be imbalanced, so... what am I missing?

It is similar but with a slightly different edge. Here, the civilian population is more vulnerable in that they can lose with only one member dying (the special role, the Detective) should they not locate the Spy in time. The objective of the mafia team in a normal Mafia game is to overwhelm the civilians by reducing their numbers, but here the goal is to selectively take out a certain one of them and get away unnoticed. It's a different dynamic, essentially.

Of course, we are still tweaking the balance and looking into new ideas as the game progresses.
