What do you think of the flavor and the odd "it takes seven votes to lynch on Day 1" rule? Naturally, one has to assume that a game of this size has probably only two factions with a 7/2 split between town and mafia. This basically means that the entire town has to agree on the Day 1 lynch, unless a mafioso thinks that it's for the better to sacrifice his scumbuddy. However, the flavor has an odd one-against-the-rest tone to it which doesn't rule out an 8/1 split (or 7/1/1 with a third party like survivor tossed in). So in order to help the lonely scum and (kinda) assure that he makes it into Night 1, seven votes are needed to lynch on Day 1. Subsequently, this raises the question how this lonely scum is going to win the game, if he is all on his own. Well, perhaps he won't be alone for long, but can choose his compagnion during Night 1 (on top of performing a kill). |
Well at first the flavor makes it seems like its every man for himself, but near the end of it, it does seem to focus on one particular person. And if it is only one person in a game of 9, then I espect they will be able to recruit. Other than that I get nothing, it could be intentially left vague to keep people guessing on the setup.
As for the 7 votes to lynch on Day 1, in my history of playing this game, day 1 is the least informed day out of all, and most Day 1 lynches lead to disaster. In some cases the people were lucky though. Plus it strengthens the argument that there is only 1 scum to start who may or may not be able to recruit. To have a suge a big majority to lynch, it almost forces the game to at least a day 2 and possibly more if he can recruit.
In that scenario, it would be in our best interest to at the very least entertain the idea of a first day lynch. As we could end the game right from the beginning.
