Possibly Confusing Setup-Specific Things
- If only one Mason or Lover is chosen, then they are essentially a named Vanilla Townie.
- If more than 2 Masons or Lovers are chosen, then all the Masons form one Mason group, and all the Lovers form one Lover group (rather than separate pairs).
- The Nymphomaniac, however, creates a separate Lover group when it uses its action on Night 1. It is not part of any pre-existing Lover groups at gamestart. It is possible to unite the two groups if the Nymphomaniac targets an existing Lover, however.
- The One-Shot PGO is activated on the first night during which someone targets it. Any and all players who target it in that one night die.
- On the forum, it is strongly advised to only run setups that start with at least 50% Town roles. This should also be advertised to the players. Broken setups are no fun. On scumchat or Skype or a Marathon Day, go crazy. Crazy setups ARE fun.
- The Alien faction has only a one-shot factional nightkill for the whole game. The faction was designed to appear rarely but have powerful role actions.
- The Innocent Child can choose to reveal itself at whatever moment it chooses. It is not revealed automatically at the start of Day 1.
- The Enabler affects one randomly mod-selected other player. If the Enabler dies, its Enablee can no longer use any role powers other than a factional nightkill.
- The One-shot Cult Recruiter cannot recruit scum who could potentially be in a group faction (i.e. Mafia, Werewolves, Aliens). Independent scum (SK, Survivor, etc) can be cult recruited. Any player, however, can be Culted by targeting the Black Goo.
History of Additions
- The Alien Bloodsucker, Alien Sympathiser, Werewolf Godfather, Alpha Goon, Cop-of-all-Trades, One-shot Commuter, Nurse, Tourist, Hero and Vanilla Cop were added to the deck at Scumdon 2013.
- The Compulsive Bodyguard Survivor, Survivor Mason, Werewolf Supersaint, Mafia Cupid, Bloodhound, Weak Jailkeeper, Wrong Place at the Wrong Time Townie, Tentacled Townie, Watchlisted Townie, Evangelistic Townie and Mason Lover were added to the deck at BaltoMeet 2013.
Mechanics
- Roles are assigned to players via the Random.org List Randomizer.
- Balance is explicitly not guaranteed.
Setup Design
This setup was invented as a Face-to-Face game at Scummer of Love, using a partial card deck. The setup is intentionally goofy, especially when roles such as the Werewolf Mason, Retired Werewolf Hunter, and Mafia 1-shot Dayvig are drawn relatively frequently. The list of roles was designed to be based heavily on the initial F2F deck by quadz08, with input and approval from Hoopla, the Open Queue Listmod at the time.
Variants
Greater Idea Mafia was designed at the UK Scummers Meet 2013, based on Great Idea but tweaking the random element to include player choice and WIFOM. Every player is dealt two cards at the start of the game and reveals their discard at the start of Day 1 after buddies have identified each other.
A small expansion of 19 cards added to the Greater Idea deck at the 2013 Baltimore meet by the attendees thereof was also intended to serve as the Greatest Idea Mafia deck.
Role PMs
Maybe later, you needy person, you.
Great Idea Micro (Micro 44)
ChannelDelibird ran a Micro edition of the game. The setup replaced the town Lovers of 11, 12 and 13 as well as the Mafia Lover of 45 with a VT, a Jack-of-all-Trades (random two of: [1x Seer investigation, 1x Cop investigation, 1x jailkeep, 1x doc protect]), a Friendly Neighbour and a Mafia Suicide Bomber. Hoopla graciously stepped in to mod it to conclusion after CDB flaked.
