So Ascetic FN, 2 Macho Masons, Mafia Fruit Vendor Informed ("There are two Masons, and your Traitor is an Asceticizer"), Mafia Role Cop, Mafia Traitor Asceticizer Infomed ("There is a Doctor, and your scumteam is Fruit Vendor Informed, and Role Cop."), and 5 VT.
Asceticizer would still allow Mafia to factional kill a Traitor's target. I'm hesitant to allow it to block kills, as that seems a bit negative utility. Maybe Combined Asceticizer Roleblocker?
I've also got some thinking to do of flavor. Considering flavoring the game around a meatspace game, where everyone's either gathering over Scumm (zoom knockoff), or they're at a physical table like pre-pandemic times, having fun. Flip flavor is as such too.
While technically Fruit Vendor and Role Cop results are Dept. of Redundancy Dept., I'll leave the option open. Who knows what shenanigans may be gotten up to?
In post 21, implosion wrote:As a minor thing, there are a couple of sort of "flavorful" things in these role PMs that are fine, but I'd slightly advise against - e.g. the phrase "You in addition carry the burden of the following knowledge:". In a normal game I'd typically expect to see "You are informed of the following:" or the like. I only mention this because it's conceivable that some players might in some way reference unconventional phrasing which is something you'd want to avoid if you can.
This line should be removed from the traitor PM: "You may also post in your PT pre-game and I will count that as a confirmation"
This line: "If you target the Traitor with your kill, they will die." is something that you normally wouldn't be able to say at all, because mafia wouldn't know if the traitor is bulletproof. In this case I'd still get rid of it just because mafia might read into it that there's no protective role or something like that; players should generally know how traitor mechanics work, and if they're not sure they can ask. The reminder of traitor mechanics is fine (good, in fact), I'd just I guess rephrase it into something like "your factional kill works normally against the traitor - they cannot be recruited."
Mason PM should specifically mention that the other person is town, not just that they're a mason, since there's still a bit of a holdover from long ago when there was ambiguity between the terms "mason" and "neighbor".
Alright. I'll simplify the Informed message to "You are informed of the following:"
That was an accidental holdover in the Traitor PM.

When you actually run the game, changing the pronoun to be specific is a nice touch if you can manage it. MS games get a little more character than botbased games on other sites due to things like that.
The Personal modifier isn't in the Traitor's role PM. It should be in the mafia's role PM and the Traitor's role PM (omitting a modifier isn't a moderator lie for the mafia to learn, but we want to maximize scum power here).
I can't remember whether rolecops see modifiers or not. I think they don't? So that part wouldn't change.
I just keep messing up the role PMs. Should probably sit down and slap some sense into myself.
Don’t quote it, especially private ones. That means role PMs.
Private communication.
Only use the threads I provide. Don’t PM other players, use other PTs for talking about this game, or use any other medium to communicate about the game to other players. I’m fine if you mention the votecount.
Games.
You’re playing this one. Play to win it.
Cryptography.
I don’t like it. Don’t hash your posts or use a Caesarean cypher or anything like that.
Small text.
Don’t use it. Anything smaller than the Small size will get bumped up in size, except for tags.
I don’t play dice.
You shouldn’t, either, at least, provably. Provable RNG is prohibited.
My mod color is
#0FBF15, bold.
You may use colors similar to it, however, using the color itself isn’t neat.
My flavor color
is

After death
you are permitted one contentless bah post. Posting content in a bah post, making multiple bah posts, or bahposting in PTs will get you warned and the bah censored.
Any questions?
Ask.
Ballot Counting
VOTE: Cook
or VOTE: Cook to cast. UNVOTE: or
UNVOTE:
without a name on the inside is fine, same with including the vote name. You may use nicknames or shortenings, so long as it’s clear who you’re referring to
If I think it counts, it counts.
If I can’t tell who you’re referring to, it won’t.
Flips by simple majority.
Once majority is reached, no new or changed votes will be permitted.
You may cast a vote for no-flip.
Deadlines and Timing
Days last
seven
days, nights last
two
, with the exception of the first day, which lasts
10.
Once a hammer vote has been cast, we enter a phase of Twilight, in which you may continue posting until the flip happens.
Any posts made post-flip will be redacted.
Unusual to me, even if I am watching the thread when hammer occurs, it is guaranteed to last one hour.
Days will end faster if a hammer happens.
Nights will end faster if all night actors are finished and a majority of non-actors ask to nightskip.
Prods, Replacements, and Activity
Prods will be issued every 72 hours without game-advancing content. Even something as simple as “Cook is scum” or “Let’s vote Cook” counts as advancing content.
If you are prodded, you have 24 hours to respond or I will search for a replacement.
If you are prodded 3 times throughout the game, I’ll search for a replacement.
If you are on V/LA, instead, I will poke you every 72 hours. Two pokes is a prod.
Nights will end faster if all night actors are finished and a majority of non-actors ask to nightskip
Oh also this Not Ok.
Nightskips have to be voted for unanimously.
They can generate role information otherwise, from player who point out they missed the nightskip vote.
alright, updating it to read "Nights will end faster if all players vote to nightskip."
