What would you guys think about a game where the ony things known were # of badguys, # of specials, # of un-powereds?

I was thinking about 15 players either 3 badguys or 2 plus a convert, 5 - 6 roles, 6 - 7 un-powered.

you going to list positions or is everyone going in completely blind, allowing for some vicious bad guy play:

"I am the ringbearer. As such I have been given two powers, one to kill anyone as a one time ability and the other is to read who people are. As such I can tell you "Innocent" is an Innocent and "wolf" is a innocent. this should form the basis for your trust... *que magic ring special that just looks pretty and does nothign* This was your proof, now we shall move on to killing wolves....."

Not listing powers means every bad guy can run the gambit of "I am this good guy" with no one having any idea if he is lying or not. As such there would never be any trusteds, unless a power gave you the ability to be trusted (which makes you insta target)

As such you might be tipping the game in the favor of the bad guys unless you can find a way to balance complete anonymity and free reign for lying for bad guys.

I am working on that.
But the more I look into complete anonymity I realize it is kind of out there.


New Idea... I would like to host a game. Maybe I should get my feet wet with a simple 15 player game......

Badguys:
1. WW 1
2. WW 2
3. BWW or Convert???


Specials:
4. Hunter: classic version
5. Protector: classic version
6. Seer: classic version
7. Mason: coroner/ masons forum
8. Mason: coroner/ masons forum
9. Sorcerer: classic version


Villagers:
10.
11.
12.
13.
14.
15.


I have an idea for 2 secret abilities 1 good and 1 bad.
