How To mod mafia game

Oops

- Please adhere to the site rules.
- Do not discuss this game of mafia outside of this thread.
- Day phases will last 9 days and 12 hours (for a total of 228 hours) (or until an execution is achieved).
- Night Phases will last 48 hours maximum. On any given night, if all players PM me that they are okay to speed up the night, it will end sooner.
- During night phase, no talking may be done in the thread. Um the thread will also be locked, so i think this rule only applies to listmods and stuff (this takes on new meaning due to the two listmods present in the game. Behave you two!!!!)
- Do not quote PM's from the mod at all (real or fabricated). Paraphrasing is acceptable.
- If you have any questions about your role, or the game, feel free to PM the mod.
- "Bah" posts are not allowed.

- rule number 1: don't break the rulez


- Vote either with vote tags (VOTE: schadd) or with bold (). Note that I didn't include the underscore in my username; you may choose to use a string that will uniquely identify a player to me instead of the exact thing.
- Don't try to confuse me with your votes.
- An Execution will occur once a majority decision is reached. if no majority is reached, the day will end peacefully.
- Following an execution, it is twilight. You may continue to post until I lock the thread and declare it night.
- If you have a Night Action, you may submit it from Night 1 and each subsequent Night (or whichever nights are specified by the role).


- You are expected to post at least once every 48 hours. If you haven't posted for 48 hours, I shall prod you. If you do not respond to the prod within 24 hours (either in thread if it's Day, or via PM during the Night) then I will replace you.
- As well, if you require more than three prods, I will force-replace you.
-


- is my color. Please don't use it. i dont use it either because i think it's hard to read on mafsilver
- No impossible/hard to read text, or cryptography. For example, I would prefer that no font size smaller than the one you're reading now be used.
- The mod may make mistakes - please point out any mistakes gently. Mistakes will be corrected where possible, but sometimes mistakes are made that cannot be reversed. These will stand as final to be commiserated over after the game.
- If you need to get the mod's attention, either PM me, or bold the text you wish to draw to my attention.
- I reserve the right to alter/remove/add any rules as I see fit. You will, of course, be notified if that happens, however.


~ play to win. seriously claiming scum with another player is against the rules. i will judge what counts as serious - don't toe the line.


~ very big images and big chunks of non-game-related text are allowed, as long as they are spoiled. if you post them without a spoiler, i will edit a spoiler in.

so in this case i am simply reposting the setup post made by datisi for open 825 except i'm changing colors and editorializing a bit & i added the lime doctor. it bears mentioning that the lime doctor is just a regular doctor, however there is a hint of lime. anyway without further ado.




here is the wiki page for the original pick your power x/y. the setup we're playing today is the same, except it's different.

if you have any questions, feel free to shoot me a pm, or yell at Datisi on discord (Datisi#6868). however, Datisi is a player in this game so you can't ask him any questions about it. you can ask questions via schadd#7589. Only if you want!!!


~ (all scum gain the ability to multitask) and (scum is informed of one pair of roles which was NOT selected during the draft phase. if multiple role pairs went unselected, this will be randomised. if all role pairs were selected, scum will be informed of this & may god help you).
~ this factional ability selection will be publicly revealed at the end of the drafting phase.
~ scroll down to the table whose formatting i definitely did not steal from the worst's run of pyp, because Datisi did that

now, onto the full setup.


~ 11 members of the .
~ 3 members of the .
~ the scum pt will be open at all times, including in the pregame phases.
~ the main thread will be locked during the drafting and role bidding phase.


~ once alignments have been dealt out, each player must send a (whole, positive) number back to the mod, with the lowest unique number winning the draft. second place is awarded to the second lowest unique number and so on, until all unique numbers have been exhausted. next placed on the list is the lowest doubled numbers, followed by the next lowest doubled numbers, and so on. continue this same process for triples and quadruples.
~ in cases of multiple players selecting the same number, the higher placed between these players is chosen randomly.
~ they may choose ONE of:
~~ : the entire scumteam will become multitasking, meaning that they can carry out both the factional nightkill and any draft powers, in the same night phase.
~~ : at the end of the second draft phase, the scumteam will receive a piece of information about the draft. if there are any role pairings which were not taken during the draft, the scumteam will be informed of one of these pairings. if there are multiple, they will be informed of one at random. if all role pairings were taken during the draft, the scumteam will be informed of this.


~ the numbers selected, and the order of the draft, will be revealed publicly.
~ the information that scum receive from the informed modifier will not be made public.


~ once the draft order has been determined, each player pm's the moderator of the game with the role they'd like to be.
~ i will assign one power per pair, as players have selected. priority will be given from the top (winner) of the draft.


~ i will send out the new role pm's to everyone.
~ the game will then begin after 12+/14 confirmations.


only ONE ROLE PER PAIR can exist in the game.

night 3 vigilante	or	vengeful
1-shot vigilante	or	2-shot PGO (active)
ascetic cop	or	bulletproof
draft cop	or	1-shot watcher
lime doctor	or	roleblocker
universal backup	or	rolecop
neighborizer	or	voyeur
jailkeeper	or	tracker

~ sample initial role pm's - alignment only:


~ sample final role pm's (town):


~ sample final role pm's (mafia):

i sent out all the role PMs btw. send me a number please

aand here is your draft!




so at this moment you shall reply to me which role you're going to aim for; if no one else picked the row containing that role before you in the draft, you shall successfully take on that new identity.

night 3 vigilante	or	vengeful
1-shot vigilante	or	2-shot PGO (active)
ascetic cop	or	bulletproof
draft cop	or	1-shot watcher
lime doctor	or	roleblocker

jailkeeper	or	tracker

oh it also gets revealed at this spot: mafia chose multitasking as their factional ability.

other ideas

• thread unlocked
  
• did you know that skitter30 is vla on fridays and saturdays?

i tonw

just trust me I’m green as the chrstimas tree this tim

I’m voting for the next person that posts

I promise

Also I’m a vanilla townie

Hahaha very serious claim above

why did this thread open right before im going to sleeep huehue

It is a thrill to play again. It is unclear to me how to vote without really rolefishing here, but I really want to discuss why I made my number selection.

VOTE: skitter30

The last two runs of this setup have only a single scum draw over 10, with a meme submission of 69, and all 5 of the others are under 10. I have some theories on why this is, ranging from small sample size to player preferences independent of alignment, but I think there is some value in discussing how I'd approach the game as mafia.

To me, the value of roles for scum hinges mostly on mechanical denial. In contrast, town finds niche utility out of the dispersion of middling roles.

I believe catboi is town. My impression was that Datisi was likely aware of the avoidance of number 1, and that Pooky is the type to straightforward go for gold when presented with a prisoner's dilemma.

Missed a sentence.

I am more comfortable placing a vote on someone I've played with, and that leaves me to vote skitter over Andante. I don't know anything about Andante, but skitter had a high level of intentionality in Trust Fall, so I am comfortable voting her first.

(Should also make it clear that I am fully aware there are town incentives to aim high in the draft, and WIFOM/meta reasons to aim middle-low as scum; my point is that scum historically tend to disproportionately aim high)

Skitter picked 6 in a previous run as town (while S_S selected 9 as both alignments), but I'll let things sit for now.

LMFAO THAT WAS FAST

Ah well, my style is too idiosyncratic anyway. Was never going to last!

And for Pooky: I regret nothing, trusting Meg and turbostossing every time, get rekt

why do you bother to alt if you sound the same every time

how did i get rekt i was laughing my ass off

I'm inflexible and can really only play one way unless I want to deliberately sandbag, but it's nice to have a mixup.

On the other hand now I can just openly say "Pooky is exactly the type of animal to just submit 1 without thinking twice"

imagine thinking when u can just establish a meta of always picking 1
