So here's what I have. Basically, remember that SFxT game I kept teasing? Spoiler: That was supposed to be an April Fools joke during the hayday of Mafia on SRK, as a way to troll. There was going to be zero actual mafia and the entire group playing was supposed to freak out when they kept mislynching.
It's a little too late to do that, since the joke that was SFxT is no longer a punchline worth pursuing and we're in a fragile state in mafia that a joke game like that would do more harm than good.
As such I've been redesigning it to be a legitimate game. Here's what I have:
Pandora Mode: At night, in lieu of a night kill, Tekken may opt to sacrifice one of their own. This will activate Pandora Mode. In Pandora Mode, there will be no more night phases. Day phases will last exactly 24 hours, and players should vote to lynch. This cycle will continue until Tekken wins, or the civilians have lynched a Tekken. Point deduction and DQs will not occur due to missing vote deadlines in Pandora Mode. Gems may not be activated during Pandora Mode.
Possible Gems:
Meter Gem
-Activation Requirement: 3 or more players vote for you during a day phase, and you are not lynched.
-Activation Result: Once during the game, you may use your Gem to target two people with your ability.
Attack Gem
-Activation Requirement: You are targeted by an ability that is not yours during two night phases.
-Activation Result: Once during the game, you may use your ability without regard to any ability that may result in it being unsuccessful.
Defense Gem
-Activation Requirement: You are part of the lynch majority three phases in a row.
-Activation Result: Once during the game, you may choose to be automatically protected from any night kill should you be targeted.
Roles:
SF:
Elena: You may choose one player at night, including yourself. That person will be protected from any night kill.
Guile: You may choose one player at night. You will be told their alignment. If you, or the player you target, is targeted by Elena on the same night, your results will return as Inconclusive. You may not target yourself.
Chun-Li: You may choose one player at night. You will be told their alignment, but it will be the opposite result (Meaning, Tekken will return as Street Fighter.) If you, or the player you target, is targeted by Elena on the same night, your results will return as Inconclusive. You may not target yourself.
Rolento: You may choose one player at night. If you are targeted for a night kill, one of your grenades will detonate and kill that player as well.
Ibuki: You may choose one player at night to throw a Kunai at. Unless that player is targeted by Elena, they will die. You start with 3 kunais, and lose them if you kill a Street Fighter. If your supply drops below 3, they will be replinished if a Tekken gets lynched.
Juri: You may choose one player at night. You will be told whether that player has a special role or not.
Cody: You may choose to put one player in jail at night. You will be told what abilities, if any, were used on them that night.
Poison: Once, during day phase, you may submit a target. The lynch vote will be nullified, and your target will be lynched instead.
Rufus: Receives a last gasp if killed.
Tekken:
Heihachi: You are responsible for sending the Tekken night kills. You will always investigate as "Street Fighter."
Jin: You may target one person at night. If that person is targeted by Guile or Chun-Li, their results will be reversed.
Marduk: You may target one person every other night. That person will not be allowed to be targeted by Elena for two nights, including the night you target them.
Nina: You may target one person every night. That person's ability will be blocked, if it is an active ability, and will be included in the write-up.
Kazuya: You may choose once during day phase to activate your Devil Gene. If you do, the day phase will end, the lynch vote will be nullified, and night phase will begin.
Xiaoyu: If you are killed by Rolento or Ibuki, Tekken gets an extra night kill on the next night phase.
Yoshimitsu: May commit seppuku and sacrifice himself at night. In doing so, Tekken will receive the roles of three Street Fighters at random.
Alisa: If night killed, her head explodes, killing whoever targeted her. If lynched, she will give her head to a random person who voted to lynch her.
Third Party:
Akuma: May target one person each night. If that person has a special role, he becomes aligned with whichever team that player is on, and gains a new role accordingly. If that player is roleless, he commits Shun Goku Satsu and kills whoever he targeted.
Akuma (Street Fighter):
Akuma (Tekken):
Now, let's balance the shit out of this.
