FOR THOSE OF YOU INTERESTED/CURIOUS ABOUT HOSTING A TTT GAME WITH NERF BLASTERS.
Hey folks, Last summer my friends and I played an outdoor game of TTT with a total of 17 people and we made it work (I am doing the same thing again tonight with roughly the same number of people), and I have found that having the right space is very important. We use a part of a college campus and we clear it with campus police beforehand, they are cool with us being there as long as we clean up.
Another important way to make the game work is to give the innocents a reason to split up and move around the area. We do this by encouraging players to preform what we call a "Three Two One", where two players find a secluded part of the map and point their weapons to each others heads. They count down together and on one, if one player is traitor, they shoot, and if they are both innocent, then obviously neither player shoots. This tactic is high-risk/high-reward, because if you are alone with that traitor and they kill you, it may be some time before anyone knows you have been killed. However if you neither player shoots and you are thusly both confirmed as innocents to each other, it means you have found another player you 100% trust.
Tonight we are planning to try some more things to split people up. Our lynch pin is introducing a new role we call the slasher, which is a player that can only walk, is armed with a nerf sword, and takes 6 nerf darts before being STUNNED for 30 seconds, not killed. The only way to KILL the slasher, who wanders around, lunging at any players it sees, is for players to collect 3 components (which have been scattered around the map by the slasher prior to the game) of a titan as-v1 and assemble them. Only a hit from this assembled rocket launcher can kill the slasher. If the slasher is the last alive before the timer runs out, the slasher wins. Thoughts?
