I recently thought of the idea of regional Town of Salem Games. If you don't know, Town of Salem is a game that's basically like the game Mafia (or Werewolf), but has a lot more roles and complexity. It's not that difficult to learn how to play, however (although it's a lot easier after you play each role at least once so you know how all of them work). It may not be the easiest game to learn how to play well, but it's a heck of a lot easier than learning how to play Civ V well and requires less patience .

I thought of this idea because it is a free-to-play game that just requires an internet browser (which you probably have if you're reading this ), and you can play it with a private group as well as a public match. It doesn't require lots of planning and hours of time to set up a game and play it, and it can be played any time with a group of any size. Although, a smaller group would require that we join a public game, but that's not too much of a problem. There's also a friends system, which would help.

Does anyone have any opinions on if this is a good idea or not?

P.S. If anybody decides to register for a Town of Salem account because of this thread, could you please put my username, "Mathness" in the "referrer" box? Also, at the beginning of each game, you pick a nickname that is the only name used for that entire game, so you don't need to have your forum name as your username.

I'd be up for it. I'll need to have a re-read of the wiki though since I haven't played in months, and I'll need to stay awake fairly late from my perspective. =P

...I should play ToS again. I've missed the censor. It's tarnation hilarious.

Yes. So much yes.

I would happily play with you guys!

Since we probably won't have enough people for a regular match, are we just going to join a public match together?

Anyone who wants to, say your username in this thread, and I'll put it in the OP.

My username is Crushita
As it is pretty much everywhere these days xD

Cool idea. How many people are required for a game?

I think the bare minimum is 7, while the usual is 15. With 7, it would be a custom game where the host chooses which roles are in play, and that can be fun. 15 is the max and is usually how many people are in a public game.

My username's BetaSoup.

I haven't played since Blackmailers gained the ability to see whispers, so I'm very out of date, apparently.

I haven't played but I'd be down.

Also, temporarily, spies can't see whispers or mafia chat; they can only see where mafia visit.

And there's the whole coven thing, but idk much about that other than the fact that I'm not spending $5 on it.

Can we use the steam version cause I use that.

If the Steam version is compatible with the website, and I imagine it probably is. I don't think everyone wants to spend $5 when they could just play the free version that doesn't have much difference.

I have the Steam version, but I've never played it before. I think it came as part of a bundle.

They're absolutely compatible. I bought it, a friend didn't, and we both could still join the same game.
