Because in our community TTT and games like mafia and werewolves have been pretty popular, one of our new minecraft servers that we want to make is a deception based gamemode.
Here are the core mechanics that define deception based games: (examples are mafia, werewolves, TTT)
There already is a similar gamemode on other MC servers named Murder Mystery, but it doesn't really work well in minecraft at all. I do think there is huge potentional for a gamemode based on deception mechanics and so that's why we should give it a try.
We already have some ideas of what to make but there are so many things possible we could do and it's important that we are creative to make a nice and unique server. That's why we are looking for some people to join the team and dedicate to help with ideas/design and later help with testing and moderating.
Here's what we expect from you as "deception" staff:
We don't have much yet but I hope it's clear what we're going for. Feel to ask questions in this thread regarding the project and I'll do my best to answer them.
Edit: SirC here, just copying what I put before. The same for Deathrun would be appreciated too. Basically, what Vat said was perfect - if you can work well in a team, and you're willing to do test and meetings and stuff, slide into my DMs about how you can assist. We could do with all the help we could get, so that'd be great. Builders would be great (I'm already hearing about a couple of people), but just those who have ideas are more than welcome to come along for the ride as well.
Here are the core mechanics that define deception based games: (examples are mafia, werewolves, TTT)
- Good team vs bad team
- Bad guys are hidden to the players
- Good team has to complete an objective, examples:
- eliminating all bad guys
- completing quests or a quest
- moving through a map while staying alive
- Bad team has to prevent good team from completing their objective
- Optional: 3rd parties that have their own win condition

Here's what we expect from you as "deception" staff:
- Willing to think of ideas for the server and discuss them respectfully with the rest.
- Having time to occasionally test the server and attend meetings.
- Experience with games like mafia/werewolves/TTT/Avalon/etc is a bonus but not a requirement.
