you are a

mafia 1-shot cop immune godfather

! you win once no members of opposing factions are alive, or when nothing can prevent this.

the other members of your faction are PLAYERNAME and PLAYERNAME. you can communicate with them privately in this thread:

there is a second mafia faction in this game. at the beginning of the game, its members are PLAYERNAME, PLAYERNAME and PLAYERNAME. initially, the members of this faction are not an opposing faction, and you can win with them.

the first time a member of a mafia faction dies by any means, the mafia factions become separate, and the other faction will become an opposing faction. the second time a member of a mafia faction would die by any means, both mafia factions will be presented with two choices: COOPERATE, or BETRAY. if one faction chooses COOPERATE and the other chooses BETRAY, all members of the faction that chose COOPERATE will die. if both factions choose COOPERATE, the mafia member whose near death triggered the decision will die, and the other faction will lose their factional kill. if both factions choose BETRAY, all members of the faction of the mafia member whose near death triggered the decision will die, the other faction will lose their factional kill, and the town's win condition will be changed to a white flag win condition -- they win when only 1 mafia member remains alive.

your faction has a night kill action. you cannot target any player you know to be a member of a mafia faction with your night kill. you cannot use your night kill on the same night that you use another action.

you have a passive 1-shot cop immune ability. the first time any player with a cop action targets you, they will receive no result.

you have a passive godfather ability. any cop role that targets you (besides the first) will receive a town result.

one time when i was in high school i was taking the class ap english. anyway the class was pretty dumb and pointless. the teacher was not good and did not care about being a good teacher. the best part about the class was that we had an ongoing "who can make the best dessert" bracket, which meant we kept getting good desserts throughout the semester. the worst part of the class was everything else. anyway to make a long story short i dropped out of the second semester of the class to take creative writing, but i still took the ap english exams. we'd had these weekly vocab quizzes with one student leading them. i guess the theory there was that she was the smartest one and therefore most qualified to lead the vocab process. which, like, whatever, except that on the morning of the exam everyone is frantically doing last minute checks of all their little flashcards, and i'm just sitting there because i don't have any flashcards because i didn't take the second half of the class. and this girl who's been leading the vocab practice for a full year says that she can't remember the difference between alliteration and allegory. and it's been well over a decade since then and i still think about that all the time

your faction has a night kill action. you cannot target any player you know to be a member of a mafia faction with your night kill.

you are multitasking, so you can use any number of actions (including your faction's night kill) each night.

you have a gunsmith action. each night, you can target one player with this action. you will learn whether that player has a gun. this ability uses the list of roles with guns from the MafiaScum wiki.

you have a compulsive disloyal inventor action. each night, you must target one player with this action. you must also describe a night action, which can be anything at all with a few stipulations. first, you cannot target a player who you can currently win the game with, which means you can never target someone from your own faction, and you can't target a member of the other mafia faction unless a member of one of your factions has died. your invention must be an action the target can choose to use; you cannot give someone an attribute like miller, for example, but you could give someone a "become a miller" action. your target will receive complete information about how their ability works; for example, if you give someone a naive cop ability, they will know that their ability is naive. your invention cannot contain extra information; for example, you cannot include a note saying that you are a member of the town. your invention cannot change your target's win condition. your invention cannot affect anyone who is not a player in the game.

the other members of your faction are McMenno and tris. you can communicate with them privately in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=90&t=90206

there is a second mafia faction in this game. at the beginning of the game, its members are kitten around, furtive glance and Ranger. initially, the members of this faction are not an opposing faction, and you can win with them.

the first time a member of a mafia faction dies by any means, the mafia factions become separate, and the other faction will become an opposing faction. the second time a member of a mafia faction would die by any means, both mafia factions will be presented with two choices: COOPERATE, or BETRAY. if one faction chooses COOPERATE and the other chooses BETRAY, all members of the faction that chose COOPERATE will die. if both factions choose COOPERATE, the mafia member whose near death triggered the decision will die, and the other faction will lose their factional kill. if both factions choose BETRAY, all members of the faction of the mafia member whose near death triggered the decision will die, the other faction will lose their factional kill, and the town's win condition will be changed to a white flag win condition -- they win when only 1 mafia member remains alive.

your faction has a night kill action. you cannot target any player you know to be a member of a mafia faction with your night kill.

you are multitasking, so you can use any number of actions (including your faction's night kill) each night.

you have a gunsmith action. each night, you can target one player with this action. you will learn whether that player has a gun. this ability uses the list of roles with guns from the MafiaScum wiki.

you have a compulsive disloyal inventor action. each night, you must target one player with this action. you must also describe a night action, which can be anything at all with a few stipulations. first, you cannot target a player who you can currently win the game with, which means you can never target someone from your own faction, and you can't target a member of the other mafia faction unless a member of one of your factions has died. your invention must be an action the target can choose to use; you cannot give someone an attribute like miller, for example, but you could give someone a "become a miller" action. your target will receive complete information about how their ability works; for example, if you give someone a naive cop ability, they will know that their ability is naive. your invention cannot contain extra information; for example, you cannot include a note saying that you are a member of the town. your invention cannot change your target's win condition. your invention cannot affect anyone who is not a player in the game.

Save The Dragons and Frogsterking have confirmed.

waiting on Quiet Owl, Dannflor and Tapiocaphobe to open their role PMs. by my count, Vaxkiller is the only person to have opened it but not confirmed yet.

[xyzzy]

Btw the

actual

actual reason I don't believe the mason claim is because of the potential nightless mechanic in place.

If the scum lose their nightkill turning it into nightless--especially with one scumteam killed--the result of having two conftown would quite simply be a guaranteed town win. The scum mathematically

couldn't

win. It'd be mathematically impossible. The masons could never be eliminated and thus there would

always

be two conftown alive.

lol; lmao

[xyzzy]

I'm a mason. Period. I was mod told imaginality is town.

And I don't believe xyzzy put masons in this game. Period.

This topic is explicitly the reason why I don't believe the claim btw.

We have 11 members total in this neighborhood, and I don't believe xyzzy would have actual masons not among them.

I feel there's likely mechanical shenanigans afoot with the neighborhood of this size, and masons who're entirely outside of the neighborhood don't fit at all.

lol; lmao

[xyzzy]

the strategy of outing the other mafia team isn't one I'd given any serious thought on account of the fact that it's basically a guaranteed mutually assured destruction scenario, but I desperately want to know what would actually happen now. it's a deeply inadvisable plan but it's not *strictly* game throwing. I just don't think there's a realistic scenario where you win doing that

[xyzzy]

3p hunting is probably just coded crap for otherball hunting. i was humoring frogster for awhile because i thought they might have role like the vintage psychologist role that would basically inform him of the 3p.

[xyzzy]

answered this in discord DMs, but putting it here for posterity (hello people reading the mod thread after the game ends): yes. a player who receives information about their target will receive correct information about who their results concern.

[xyzzy]

By mod meta, it is quite likely for there to be a serial killer duo as that is a known role which xyzzy would both be familiar with and likely to employ.

I have absolutely no idea what a serial killer duo is so this is very funny

[xyzzy]

there's been a lot of setup spec that's honestly really solid ideas that would be a lot of fun. unfortunately the key that everyone is missing is that instead of a clear, cohesive design full of moving parts that interact in interesting ways, I instead combined a few really batshit ideas with a big bag of red herrings and intentionally non-functional roles

back around 2017-2019 I was running a series of games with a long narrative that evolved over the course of the series. the idea was that the design would be influenced by the results of each game; factions and significant named characters would rise in power or die based on how the games went, so that once it all finished there'd be a satisfying (but also intentionally very weird) story that you could follow. unfortunately, I never ended it, and also I ran a couple unrelated games that got in the way of continuing work on that one. the original name for this one was "one last self-indulgent mafia game," as a signal that after this one I would definitely go back and work on my magnum opus. well, that didn't come to fruition, obviously. but this game was very much the result of having several dumb gimmicks floating in my head that I knew would be harder to fit into the more narratively-driven ideas I had, so I decided to just go for broke and put everything into one very confusing basket. so that's how this one happened!

something I've thought about a lot over the years is how most game design is meant to be functional with repeated play, but closed mafia setups are by their very nature implicitly game design that will only ever be played once — obviously, if you can get a separate group of players who don't have any knowledge of the first game, you could run it again, and realistically, there's probably been at least one normal closed setup to be run across all the forum mafia sites that two people invented independently, but in general, you can assume that most setups will happen once, ever. as a designer, your goal is to create a memorable, interesting experience with your design, but there's a ton of elements to how games get run that basically ensure that you probably won't get it all exactly the way you want. the really cool, unique power role that is designed to allow someone to play the game in a really clever way might get randomly killed night 1 for no real reason, so you can't design the whole thing around that. I think a big part of my impetus as a designer is to create something where I don't necessarily put a lot of my own expectations into it. I dunno that I have any sort of point to all of this other than to say that mafia is a fascinating design challenge where the way success is measured is just fascinating. like I love the map 2Fort, but what if you wanted to design something like 2Fort knowing that only a single capture the flag match will ever be played on it? do you go for something safe? something weird and audacious? do you get disappointed that a neat little tunnel you included never got used by anyone? do you get disappointed that there was a ledge that just happens to be a great sniper perch that you never noticed? there's not a lot of competitive games that ask questions like that.

[xyzzy]

oh hey that's not how that ascetic ability works. I posted a clarification in the PT.

I got a message just after day 2 ended from Lycanfire asking if the bus action could self-target (no), but Lycanfire didn't respond with bus targets.

"hello! you have received an invitation to join the large theme game "i designed this setup in 2019" as a member of a hydra. if you accept, you will be part of a hydra with furtiveglance. you may accept or decline this invitation, and you will find out what your role would be if and only if you accept."

something I'm idly thinking about is at some point designing a game that remixes a bunch of the notable elements from this game and calling it "i redesigned this setup in 2023" or whatever. this is mostly because (as I mentioned earlier) I've been having some thoughts about the ways in which closed mafia setups are designed to be run exactly once ever, which is really interesting from a game design perspective.

now, if I do that, I'm absolutely going to somehow save myself the effort of running separate games in the dead thread lmao. the biggest problem is that I don't really use my laptop anymore. 99% of this game has been run from my phone (I keep mentioning doing votecounts from the train! this is true!), and my phone (a big fuckin folding phone) has basically replaced my computer usage. I simply don't need to actually use a laptop for most of what I do, and my desk has just my work laptop on it. that being said, it's a lot easier to have sites I check basically constantly on a computer that I instead access on a schedule with my phone. I'm not constantly clicking over to the MafiaScum tab on my phone to see if there's one new post in a thread in my ego search, so I'm not running new lovers mafia games quite as constantly as I would've been able to had I run this one in 2019.

if I *do* remix this one, I can promise you one thing: I will not assign myself the task of constantly running a separate series of games in the dead thread

quick note for clarification since people will probably wonder once the game ends and there's a vanishingly small chance it could be relevant tonight: biancospino asked if the suicide bomber can be saved by a doctor, and I said no to that, and Titus asked if her target would still die if she was targeted by a doctor, and I said yes. the second answer wasn't necessarily the most helpful, I suppose...
