Newbie Mafia 8: Time Loops (Game Over!)
« on: September 08, 2016, 06:50:03 am »

Welcome to Newbie Mafia 8: Time Loops!

This is a semi-open setup designed to be a staring point into mafia. It has a lot of potential roles (which are common on this site), but no special rules or interactions, and the randomizing process is simple. If you want to play, make a post saying /in (in this thread). Make sure to skim over the rules (link) and sign our civility pledge (link) first. But if you are completely new to the game, read this (link) first, it is a better explanation of what this is all about. Any additional information which you need should be included in the second post that explains the setup. If you have any questions, ask away.

Player List:
  • LaLight – Vanilla Townie (Died Night 3)
  • McGarnacle – Motion Detector (Died Night 2)
  • pingpongsam – Mafia Goon (Lynched Day 2)
  • SpaceAnemone – Roleblocker (Wins!)
  • Roadrunner7671 – Vanilla Townie (Lynched Day 1)
  • ashersky – Vanilla Townie (Lynched Day 3)
  • Zigaton – Vanilla Cop (Died Night 1)
  • J Reggie – Vanilla Townie (Endgamed)
  • pacovf – Vanilla Townie (Lynched Day 4)

Tagged: Haddock, gkrieg13, mail-mi, Joseph2303, Calamitas

Navigation:
Day 1 start
Day 2 start
Day 3 start
Day 4 start
Game End

Further Rules:
  • Game days will last 7 days. Nights will last 1 day.
  • You may vote: nolynch. If a majority of these votes is reached, a no-lynch will occur.
  • Night Actions may be submitted and changed up until an hour before the next day starts.
  • Extreme inactivity or any violation of rules will be dealt with based on my judgment.
  • Mod posts will be blue. Similar formatting should be avoided by players.
  • After a succession of No-Lynch -> No-Kill -> No-Lynch, mafia may not no-kill
  • Players may not quote anything from the game elsewhere while the game is still ongoing. "The game" means this thread, all related PMs, and the Mafia QT.

The Setup

This game consists of 9 players:
5 Town players without Role (Vanilla Townies)
1 Mafia player without Role (Mafia Goon)

Plus, 2 Town Power Roles and 1 Mafia Power Role which are not known pre-game. For this, a number between 1 and 12 is being randomized. The Role that is at that number in the above image, plus its two neighbors, are being included. Mafia will be informed which roles those are.

Example:
If 12 is randomized, the roles at 11 (Motion Detector), 12 (Roleblocker), and 1 (Weak Visitor) are being chosen. Red Roles are Mafia-Aligned, Green Roles are Town-Aligned.

For those who have problems with images, here the text version:

01 - Weak Visitor
02 - Jailkeeper
03 - 1-Shot Strongman
04 - Babysitter
05 - Doctor
06 - Rolecop
07 - Watcher
08 - Tracker
09 - 2-Shot Investigation Immune
10 - Vanilla Cop
11 - Motion Detector
12 - Roleblocker

Explanation of Roles:
The following Roles are active, targeted, and work at Night. This means, if you are one of them, then at night, you may target a player, and depending on which Role you have, something happens. None of the roles are compulsive, so you can always choose not to use them. Let us assume you do use them and target Haddock. If you are a

Tracker: you follow Haddock around that night, learn whom he targeted with his role (if any). You will receive a PM telling you a list of names at the start of the following day.

Doctor: you put Haddock in a hospital bed that night, thus (somehow) protecting him from murderers, and you thought a bunker would be better for that! If mafia tries to kill him that night, nothing happens.

Watcher: you climb into a tree next to Haddock's house that night, keeping a close look on the entrance, thus learning who targeted him that night. You will receive a PM telling you a list of names at the start of the following day.

Vanilla Cop: you perform some tests on Haddock, learning whether he is a Vanilla Townie (a town player without Role). You will receive a PM telling you "Haddock is a Vanilla Townie" or "Haddock is not a Vanilla Townie" at the start of the following day.

Babysitter: you transform Haddock into a Baby for the night, protecting him but also binding his fate on yours. If Mafia tries to kill him, nothing happens. But if mafia kills you, both you and Haddock die.

Weak Visitor: you freely walk towards Haddock, politely asking him if you could sleep at his house for the night. If Haddock is Mafia-Aligned, you will die, else nothing happens.

Motion Detector: you lay out a highly advanced field of laser-sensors across Haddock's home that night, telling you whether there was motion (he targeted someone, someone targeted him, or both) or no motion. You will receive a PM telling you "Motion detected" or "No Motion detected" at the start of the following day.

Roleblocker: you put up a network of invisible webs around Haddock's home that night, stopping any action he performs without him knowing. If Haddock tries to perform any action, nothing happens. This will cause Vanilla Cop and Motion Detector to get a special PM stating "No Result".

Jailkeeper: you put Haddock into prison for the night, taking away his freedom but also protecting him. If Mafia tries to kill him, nothing happens, and if Haddock tries to perform any action, nothing happens. Thus, this action is a combination of Doctor and Roleblocker.

Rolecop: You sneak into Haddock's home to steal some DNA, performing tests on it that tell you exactly which role he is born as. You will receive a PM saying "No Role" (if he is a Vanilla Townie or Mafia Goon), or the name of any of the above or below if he is that Role.

The last two roles are not targeted. That means you simply choose to activate them, still at night, without specifying on whom.

Strongman: You enter god-mode for the night, breaking through every role that would interfere with what you choose to do. If you want to kill Haddock but he is being doctored, he still dies.

Investigation Immune: You put up a clever disguise, causing all investigative actions on you to fail. You will appear as "Vanilla Townie" to the Vanilla Cop, you will return "No Motion" to the Motion Detector, and will not be seen by either Tracker of Watcher. (Interaction with other roles isn't specified because they can't appear together in this setup).



Mafia's Night-Kill is treated as an action for this purpose. For example, if Haddock kills ashersky and you track him, you learn that Haddock targeted ashersky. If Haddock tries to kill ashersky and you put Haddock in jail, then the kill fails and ashersky lives, etc.

X-Shot before a role means that you can only use it X times. Thus, if you are 2-Shot Investigation Immune, you can only trigger your immunity twice during the game.

I am very happy to see that Haddock was targeted in the example provided.

Are experienced players desirable in this game or strictly newbs?

I'd say noobs have priority but we won't find 9, so we can have vets, too.

How do you keep non-scum from seeing who the mafia vote to lynch during their night phase?

QT's are used.
Mafia has their own QT where they can talk only during the night.

The best reason to lynch Haddock is the meltdown we get to witness on the wagon runup. I mean, we should totally wagon him every day just for the lulz.

thanks, but ... not really necessary, to be honest. don't want you to go through the effort of doing vote counts by hand when I've already automated it.

but you can play if you want.

I mostly just wanted the spoilers :P
But sure.
Playing might not be the best, lot on my plate at the moment (not to mention that SA and I should probably avoid being in the same game).
But if you're looking for some more experienced players I can be one of them if you can't find enough other such (unlikely!).

Example:
If 12 is randomized, the roles at 11 (Vanilla Cop), 12 (Follower), and 1 (Roleblocker) are being chosen.

This bit might want to be changed to:

If 12 is randomized, the roles at 11 (Motion Detector), 12 (Roleblocker), and 1 (Weak Visitor) are  chosen.

well, guys. Some veterans can participate here: the most impotrtant thing is that roles are good for newbies, mod will be friendly and will tell everything in details and that's all. Who will participate will not matter so hard I think we just have to made sure there is not like 1-2 newbies but at least half.

I currently imagine mail-mi wearing a dark trenchcoat and a bowler hat, hunched over a bit, toothpick in his mouth, holding a gun in his pocket.  One bead of sweat trickling down his nose.
