yeah in this the slugs are the mafia and then just the villagers. your number 1 is right, a couple games ago juice brought up the recruiting. Basically the slugs will have the option to not kill a person one (or maybe more depending on how many recruits allowed) and instead recruit them over to the slugs. It's a twist that really throws a wrench into the regular style of play/thinking.
Yeah the way I usually played those were separate roles that could be given to players either in the mafia or their own faction.
Gotta say I don't like knowing the ratio of slugs to villagers but hey will make the game easier.

I don't really think it makes that much of a difference.
Kill slugs 'til they're all dead. OR Kill villagers 'til they may as well be all dead.
Knowing about recruiting possibilities is more important, I think.
Not knowing a ratio can make games really hard especially if a small "mafia" is made on purpose. Ever try and play one of these games with 2 mafia members an independent faction and the town. Very good game.

Wow. wouldnt that be exciting. Never denote how many slugs there are. We just gotta assume that theres like 4 or 5 ... Maybe mod can throw a curveball at it. Sounded cool, even tho you already told us your ideal ratio. (not notify us when someone is recruited, etc.)

Not only that but from what I remember from lurking you guys usually keep your games in one thread day after day. The best/most organized way to run these from the forum I used to play on was if the mods would cooperate have a separate sub-forum simply for "slug wars" and have each day be it's own thread. Could be added right below the NHR forum and just called something like "Slug Wars: LGP mafia game"
Example:
The sun rises on day one found on the floor covered in slug goo is Pavel Bure.
With *insert number of players* you need *whatever majority would be* to lynch
At the end of the day after votes have been counted, or if vote count needed has been reached
With *insert number of votes* you have thrown salt/lynched Senka(Town or slug *whichever their role was*)
Night phase has begun, night roles have *whatever increment of time (usually 24 hours)* to get "the mod" their actions
Day 2 would then be it's new thread with a new opening scene etc. These games can get pretty creative in that form. Especially when different forum members come up with their own games/roles etc.
Mainly, I just wanted to get people to go along, so I went with the familiar.
But, also, I felt the analogous RPs/references in the proposed Jellyfish Invasion were weak and I couldn't come up with anything better.
Finally, jaysmiter had mentioned starting a Jellyfish Invasion game. Although that didn't materialize, I didn't want to step on toes (or nasty, squishy, painful jellyfish tentacles). But if someone wants to starts a Jellyfish Invasion thread at the same time, go for it. I'll play.
I wish more new players would jump in and play. Like someone said last game, that adds a new dimension to the game, especially if they're relatively active.
Of course, there will always be those new players who still want to salt Juice on the first turn.
