[Korts]

List of Possible Roles

2 players will recieve the following PM (parentheses indicate variable content):

Congratulations, you are a <mafianame> Mafia Goon.

(You have no special abilities.) Your partner in crime is <name>. You may communicate with them at all times in this quicktopic thread. The mafia has a joint kill.

(Additional abilities:)

You are mafia-aligned; you win when your faction is the only remaining one.

Please confirm your role by quoting it back to me. You can find the game thread here. Good luck.

Additional information that may be included in the Mafia PM (parentheses indicate variable content):

You (also) have a (one-shot) (group) roleblocking ability: (each day/once in the game) you may target a player; that player's actions will, from the time you sent your choice of target onwards until the end of the day, be blocked.

You (also) have a (group) doctor ability: each day you may target a player; one kill attempt on that player that happens during that day will fail. (You lose this ability upon one successful protection.)

3-5 players will recieve the following PM:

Congratulations, you are a Pro-Town Vigilante.

Each day, you may target a player; that player will die.

You are town-aligned; you win when your faction is the only remaining one.

Please confirm your role by quoting it back to me. You can find the game thread here. Good luck.

mod note: Vigilante may or may not shoot blanks; if a Vigilante shoots blanks, none of their kills will go through.

2-4 players will recieve one of the following two PMs:

Congratulations, you are a Pro-Town Bomb.

You have a passive ability; if you are targeted by a successful kill, you and your killer will both die.

You are town-aligned; you win when your faction is the only remaining one.

Please confirm your role by quoting it back to me. You can find the game thread here. Good luck.

Congratulations, you are a Pro-Town Supersaint.

You have a passive ability; if you are lynched, you and the player who placed the hammering vote both die.

You are town-aligned; you win when your faction is the only remaining one.

Please confirm your role by quoting it back to me. You can find the game thread here. Good luck.

Rules

RULES

Behavior

⁽⁰⁾ Follow the site rules. That means no discussion of ongoing games especially (exceptions are mod-revealed information; if you are unsure about a specific thing, contact both the mod of the referenced game and this one)
⁽¹⁾ Have fun.
⁽²⁾ Play to win.
^(2b)Claiming a player to be your scum partner is generally considered a direct infraction of rule (2).
⁽³⁾ I will be posting in dark red. Please don't use dark red, or in colours that are hard to read.
⁽⁴⁾ I don't mind profanity, but respect your fellow players. As a mod, I will only take action if the offended party PMs me with their objections; I request that any such PMs include the list of offending posts, so that I can make a decision.
⁽⁵⁾ Quoting of mod communications is

allowed

. However, see Rule (0).
^(5b) For this reason, night actions will be acknowledged by quoting the original message back to the sender; any result or answer to questions will be communicated in as simple a full sentence as possible, without any quotes. Warnings will be public.
⁽⁶⁾ Don't talk about this game outside the thread unless your role allows, whether you’re dead or not. However, feel free to contact me if you have any questions or a need to vent.
⁽⁷⁾ Do not edit or delete your posts if you would otherwise be able to.

Activity Levels and Prods

⁽⁸⁾ If a player doesn't post in any game-related thread in 72 hours, they will be prodded. In practice, this might not happen on every occasion; please be patient, my schedule is pretty tight.
⁽⁹⁾ Players may request a prod on another player at any time, either by PM or by posting in thread. Note that this will not count towards the "three strikes" (see Rule (11)) without 72 hours' inactivity.
⁽¹⁰⁾ Not picking up a prod within 72 hours will result in replacement.
⁽¹¹⁾ If I have to prod you more than three times in a game-day or more than five times overall, you will be replaced.
⁽¹²⁾ If you are on V/LA, please take the time to either post to that effect in-thread or PM me.

Voting, Lynches, and Deadlines

⁽¹³⁾ Please vote in bold, such as

Code: Select all

[b]vote: Korts[/b]

Unvoting is not necessary, but I'd prefer it if you did anyway.
^(13b) You may use nicknames and acronyms when voting, as long as it is clear exactly whom you are referring to.
^(13c) Please place your votes at the beginning or the end of your posts, in a seperate line, otherwise I may miss it.
^(13d) Minor formatting issues will be ignored and the vote will count; in general, if the intent is obvious, the vote will count. As a mod, I don't endorse trick votes.
⁽¹⁴⁾ I will try to post vote counts on every page. Vote counts will be in seperate posts for clarity, as well as edited into the first post of the page.
⁽¹⁵⁾ A lynch will require the votes of a majority of players (half of all living players plus one). When a majority is reached, no further votes/unvotes will be counted.
^(15b) If the game reaches deadline before a majority lynch happens, the player with the most votes at that time will be lynched. In the event of a tie, the player who had the most votes (of those tied) before the tie will be lynched.
⁽¹⁶⁾ Each game day will have a mostly non-negotiable deadline of

3 days+(number of living players)x2 days.

However, special circumstances may lead to deadline extension.
⁽¹⁷⁾ Posting in twilight is acceptable, for both the lynchee and town members. Feel free to post as much or as little as you want of whatever you like.
⁽¹⁸⁾ Once your death scene is posted, you may make only

one "bah" post

. Make sure it has no game relevant information, or someone in your faction may be punished for the infraction.

Miscellaneous

⁽¹⁹⁾ If you fake breaking a rule, or I percieve you as breaking a rule, it will incur at least the same punishment as actually breaking the rule. I do not take well to my rules' loopholes being lawyered.
⁽²⁰⁾ I'm not infallible. Please be patient if I make mistakes. If you notice something, notify me in-thread, preferably in the following format:

Code: Select all

[b]mod:[/b] <message>.

If I have made a major mistake, please be kind and notify me by PM, leave it out of the thread.
⁽²¹⁾ For game purposes, my word is sacred, and my decision final. See rule (20).
⁽²²⁾ I reserve the right to add rules if necessary.

Game Specific

⁽²³⁾ Each Day of the game will be divided into three phases: Morning, Afternoon, and Twilight.
^(23b) Morning is defined as the 72 hour interval at the start of each Day.
^(23c) Afternoon is defined as the interval starting at the end of Morning as per Rule (23b) and ending either when the lynching vote is placed or when deadline hits.
^(23d) Twilight is defined as the interval between the end of Afternoon as per Rule (23c) and the mod's post declaring the start of next Morning.
⁽²⁴⁾ Role actions may be submitted during Morning and Afternoon of the Working Hours.
^(24b) Role actions submitted during Morning resolve simultaneously (according to the role resolution table found below) at the end of Morning, to avoid a race for being the first to send an action in.
^(24c) Role actions submitted during Afternoon resolve instantaneously, according to the role resolution table found below.
^(24d) Immediate actions' public results (if any), most notably kills will be posted between 0 and 24 hours of me opening the PM, to avoid Time Zone differences breaking the game.
⁽²⁵⁾ Note that any votes/unvotes between the time a kill is sent and the time a kill is publicly resolved take priority over the kill, therefore if a kill would reduce the lynch threshold and a lynch would occur, any unvotes before the death scene is posted will prevent that.

Role resolution:

Immediate actions: kill--public reveals within 0-24 hours
rest of day actions: protect, roleblock
end of day actions: none in this setup

I will be on V/LA between 22 and 29; Vi has been very kind and offered to take over modding duties during my absence. So play nice, have fun, and I'll be back soon.

[Korts]

I am officially back, although I may have spotty access for a couple days/weeks. I'm pretty hopeful that it won't affect my modding anymore.

Thank you, Vi, for helping out!

No-one has a prod due. CDB is V/LA until today, Prozac is sort of V/LA, and everyone else has posted within the last 72 hours.

I will, however, try asking Prozac whether his connection is fixed by now. If he doesn't reply within 72 hours I will start looking into a replacement.

[Korts]

Budja and ChannelDelibird will be prodded. Prozac hasn't picked up his unofficial prod yet, but he still has 24 hours.

@mod

, if the mafia have an additional action (roleblocking or doctoring), can they do both their kill and the additional action in a single night? I couldn't find anywhere in the rules that stated one way or the other.

The mafia can use as many abilities as are available to them throughout the day.

ChannelDelibird will be prodded.

Morning ends. Nothing happens.

CDB picked up his prod, therefore he won't be replaced just yet.

[Korts]

Porochaz II. replaces ChannelDelibird.

[Korts]

@mod, yet another setup question I couldn't seem to find in the rules: There was flexibility in the setup (3-5 vig-types, 2-4 bomb/supersaints, distribution of roles within that group unknown, etc.) Did you build the setup such that you knew the distribution of roles going in, or was it designed with uncertainty and dice-rolling?

That is, did you say "I will have 5 vigs (2 blank, 3 not) & 2 bomb/supersaints (1 of each)", or did you say "I will roll 1d3 to find out which distribution, and within each group, I will roll 1d2 to decide between bomb/supersaint or blank/regular vig"? Thanks!

The setup was designed to be as balanced as possible. The apparent flexibility is only to preempt any attempts at breaking the game by massclaim.

4 people (hasdgfas, curiouskarmadog, Budja, molestargazer) recieved the following role PM:

Congratulations, you are a Pro-Town Vigilante.

Each day, you may target a player; that player will die.

You are town-aligned; you win when your faction is the only remaining one.

Please confirm your role by quoting it back to me. You can find the game thread here. Good luck.

Note that everyone but molestargazer was a blank shot.

2 people (MacavityLock, Quagmire) recieved the following role PM:

Congratulations, you are a Pro-Town Bomb.

You have a passive ability; if you are targeted by a successful kill, you and your killer will both die.

You are town-aligned; you win when your faction is the only remaining one.

Please confirm your role by quoting it back to me. You can find the game thread here. Good luck.

1 person (Porochaz I) recieved the following role PM:

You have a group roleblocking ability: each day you may target a player; that player's actions will, from the time you sent your choice of target onwards until the end of the day, be blocked.

You also have a group doctor ability: each day you may target a player; one kill attempt on that player that happens during that day will fail. You lose this ability upon one successful protection.

[Korts]

Any comments on balance? This game was resized to 9p from a 14p setup, so I'm not sure whether I balanced it properly while maintaining swinginess.

Also, sorry about the increasingly sloppy modding near the end, my RL workload grew drastically. I completely stopped prodding around Day 4 partly because I didn't want to be forced to replace anyone, and partly because I didn't have the mental energy to look at times and dates and enforce the 72/48hr rule.

[Korts]

The doc protect worked on bomb kills as well.
