General Rules

1. The Basics
   
   
2. All site-wide rules apply.
   
3. Play to your win condition.
   
4. Do not privately communicate with other players about this game, except where explicitly allowed.
   
5. Be respectful of other players; do not insult them. Attack the argument, not the person.
   
6. Do not quote your role PM; do not quote any private communication with other players. Do not pretend to quote your role PM or any private communication, as doing so will be treated as if you actually quoted them. Paraphrasing either of these is fine.
   
7. Do not use provable randomness.
   
8. Do not use cryptography, robust steganography, invisible text, etc.
   
9. As the moderator, I reserve the right to make any judgment call I deem fit, regardless of whether or not any explicit rule exists.

1. During the Day
   
   
2. Day phases will last 8 days.
   
3. During the day, votes must be posted with either
   bold tags
   or VOTE: tags. Don't try to get tricky; if it looks like a vote and is bolded, I will count it as a vote. Any attempt to abuse voting with trick votes or fake votes will be punished harshly.
   
4. Prods will be issued upon 48 hours of inactivity; if unanswered after 24 hours, I will begin seeking a replacement. If the player posts in thread before a replacement is found, they will retain their spot.
   
5. I may or may not grant deadline extensions if asked.

1. During the Night
   
   
2. All nights will last 48 hours.

1. Setup specifications
   
   
2. This setup is confirmed to be 10 town players versus 3 mafia players.
   
3. During each night phase (including night 0, which will precede day 1), the mafia must partition all living players into three groups, which they will number 1, 2 and 3. Each group must contain at least one player. There are no other restrictions on who may be in which group, the number of players in each group, etc.
   
4. This game is pseudo-nightless. The mafia have a 1-shot nightkill that they may use any night after night 0. They may not use their kill if it would cause the mafia to have as many players alive as there are town players alive. There are no other killing abilities in the game. There are no other night actions in the game.
   
5. Come daybreak, the groups will be publicly revealed, with members within each group listed alphabetically.
   
6. You cannot vote for players; instead, you must vote for groups. Votes must be of the form VOTE: 1 or VOTE: Group 1, for instance. Any votes listed for players will be ignored.
   
7. When a majority of votes is reached on a group, all players in that group will be lynched. If no majority exists at deadline, whichever group has the most votes will be lynched. In case of a tie at deadline, whichever group has the oldest most-recent vote (that is, whichever group was the first to reach its current number of votes) will be lynched. If no votes are placed when deadline is reached, the mafia will immediately win.
   
8. When a group is lynched, all players in that group will die simultaneously, and all of their roles and alignments will be revealed.
   
9. The town wins when all mafia members are dead and at least one town member is alive. The mafia win when there are at least as many mafia members alive as there are town members alive.

Spoiler: Sample Role PMs

Hello, and welcome to Partition Mafia, implosion!
You are a

Vanilla Townie

.
Your only powers are your voice and your vote.
You win when all mafia members are dead and at least one town member is alive, or nothing can prevent the same.
Confirm by sending me a PM stating your role and alignment.

Hello, and welcome to Partition Mafia, implosion!
You are a

Mafia Goon

.
Each night, you and your partners must partition the town into three groups. Each group must have at least one member; apart from this, you may partition players however you choose.
You have a 1-shot factional kill. You may not use this kill on night 0, and you may not use it if it would cause you to immediately win (i.e., if there is exactly one more town player alive than there are mafia players alive). If you use the kill, the killed player should not be listed in any groups for the day.
You can discuss the game at all times with your teammates here.
You win when there are at least as many mafia players alive as there are town players alive, or nothing can prevent the same.
Confirm by sending me a PM stating your role and alignment.

@Implosion: You wouldn't allow sexism or homophobia in a game and this is just a different flavor of the same type of bullshit. Do something about RMOJ

I don't believe any rules have been violated to the extent where action is needed, but will remind everyone:

Be respectful of other players; do not insult them. Attack the argument, not the person.

I would also like to give a shout out to all of you for letting me run a game with 0 replacements and 1 prod

[implosion]

The theory behind the setup's balance is this: the setup at 3:9 with scum having no nightkill is very probably exactly 50% EV. A proof has still eluded me, but alas. Adding one townie and giving scum one nightkill probably doesn't change that EV very much; initially I thought that it might not change it at all, but looking at your math, it's accurate; it does swing the EV, probably ever-so-slightly, in the direction of scum. Probably somewhere around 55-60%. Adding the power roles is a boon for the town, on average, overall, I think; partially this is because of DV's role however, because his role was quite likely to be seen as town and was one of the most effective at actually screwing with scum want to do in this setup, which is sometimes to pair themselves with town. What happened as a result of this in practice was that town used group-switching roles to move around someone that they weren't sure of, but with DV's role, you could have, for instance, taken Wisdom out of group one and then just lynched nsg, or taken out whoever was towniest from group 3 and lynched the other 3.

Of course, there's always the potential for scum to do something like 1-1-11, or 7-3-3, or some other manner of ludicrous split; the power roles were partially put into place to give town some counterplay to that. The choice to give muffin's power as the one for scum was actually almost entirely arbitrary; I came up with flavorful names for all of the roles and gave scum the one that sounded the most scummy. I think all of them are useful for both sides. Cakez's is probably the weakest just because obviously it's by far the least flexible since it's the only one that has no choice in who it's moving.

This is me from the setup design topic back when I first conceived of it (actually July last year):

Essentially, some of the ideas behind it:

-Nightless is balanced EV-wise when 1/4 of the player list is scum. Add in a townie and give scum a 1-shot non-game-ending nightkill, and that should remain close to true. From an EV standpoint I am actually extremely curious if the vanilla version of this would have a 0.5 EV at 3:9.

-Scum have many options: 1-1-11, which turns into wifom over "did scum put themselves in one of the 1s?" and will probably result in town lynching one of the 1s. One tactic could be to keep putting the groups as 1-1-(LARGE), forcing town to figure out the right time to "strike" and hit the big group. They could go for an even-ish distribution of 4-4-5 with one scum in each group; this leads to 2:6 or 2:7. They could go for one small, one medium, and one bigger group, and try to wifom from that. They could go for something like 3-3-7, either with all 3 scum in one of the 3s or with 2 in one and 1 in the other, so that town lynching the 7 would win them the game then and there, or they could all hide in the group of 7 together since town is pretty unlikely to lynch there. Etc etc.

-The hope is that the PRs give town just enough power so that almost all of it still resides with scum for choosing how to distribute players, but that town doesn't feel completely powerless. They could conceivably be extremely powerful. I'd likely give one to scum and the rest to town, so as to sort of imply "there's probably some of these in the town too!"

-It's definitely swingy, by design. Or rather, as you said, the mafia can make it such if they want. The game could easily end in a win for either faction on d1, although it'd be harder for the mafia to win on d1 than the town as they would have to convince the town to lynch a group of at least 7 people.

[implosion]

I'm pretty sure your 5/9 calculation is accurate.

2:1:1 groups will still be exactly 50% EV. Town's optimal strategy isn't to lynch randomly, nor is it to always lynch one of the 1's; they can in fact choose any pair of people that they like as the two people to lynch, and then lynch both of those people. If both of those people are in the group of 2, they simply lynch it; if not, they lynch one of them that isn't in the group of 2, then lynch the other at 1:1:1.

At least that's one way to think of it.

[implosion]

Serious bonus points to anyone who can prove (or disprove) that 3:9 (or generally n:3n) of this setup, vanilla, has a 50% EV.

I have many many thoughts about this game in general but I am very happy with it as, at the very least, a proof of concept; I think ideas like this have a lot of potential to be generalizable as well. The idea of a pseudo-nightless game in which scum in some way control what sets of people the town is allowed to lynch all at once. Another example idea I had was imagine a 13-player setup where each night the scum arrange all living players into a circle, and the town has to lynch 3 consecutive players in the circle. Or where the scum puts player names into a grid, and the town has to pick either a row or a column. Etc, etc. I think this is probably more interesting than those ideas because scum are less likely to do things completely arbitrarily and are more likely to actually put interesting thought into how they're grouping people.

The issue with the d2 swap was that it put all of the groups in even numbers, analogous to putting a game in evens; a group of 1 is a great lynch for town in that situation because it at least will yield information, while a group of 3 is also very sensible because it only needs to contain 1 scum to be safe. Although it could also be said that the scum played around this very well - it was an effective tactic to rely on the swap to muddle groups that they made that were "bad" for scum.

Kokichi's role would never exist in this setup. It's far, far too strong if it gets a negative on a group of ~4 people; having 3 confirmed townies in a game that is effectively nightless, even if scum is able to kill one of them and group the others together with scum, is brutal. Interestingly if the town can find 2 confirmed townies and whittle the scum's numbers down to 1, they can always win by just lynching the group that contains neither of the confirmed townies. This gets more complicated if scum have multiple people alive, though. Though it would be similar with 3 confirmed townies vs 2 scum if there were 4 groups in the game instead of 3, for instance. 2 groups could also be very interesting; I enjoy that thought because it's basically a fair division problem with scum as the divider and town as the chooser.

[implosion]

I'm not aware of any other games with this gimmick that have been run.
