BM25: pictures mafia (it's a day)
« on: February 16, 2017, 09:15:00 pm »

welcome to BM25: pictures mafia, a hemidemisemiopen bastard setup for 12* players by schadd. it is non-normal, but probably a little less non-normal than you would think. edit from the future: wait jk

spectators: jooph, ants in the skypants, fants, jeb grengus, liopleurodon, wanda and shandra

players:
1. roadruneuer sevintysix sevenoy one
2. dylean frito
3. gork three
4. sand panda
5. charcoal
6. w cluster
7. packet of velfcro
8. clam tassel
9. oops
10. lightly chiseled jalopy
11. lark oil lamp
12. eeek!


rules: pick the rules for a game you like and follow those. if i have to prod or modkill anybody this game, i will personally bring you an envelope full of shame, because i'm not gonna be enforcing things very hard at all. 8 day days, 2 day nights.

the core mechanic of this game is pictures™—in addition to the 11 players who have winconditions and whatnot, the game is also affected by the spectators, who will receive a set of 6 pictures each day that i will ask them to rank, in terms of favoritism. i will take the rankings i receive (as well as my own ranking) and get their average. during the day, in addition to lynches, everyone who can vote will also be able to submit a guess in thread for the spectators' ranking of the pictures (format: picture [name] rank: 1. picture [name] rank: 3 [...] where 1 is the best). these rankings will also be averaged (and i will ask that everyone make an overt “final vote” at some point, because it’s a bunch of bookkeeping; i'm uh not including these in vote counts) and a certain event will occur each day that is more pro-town depending on how close the players' average is to the spectators'.


in short, if you're town, rank the pictures how you think the spectators would. if you’re scum, don't.



n = Σ(abs(spectators' value - players' value))
for n…
=0: town useless PR ⇒ resurrector
=2: town useless PR ⇒ doublewatcher doubletracker
=3: town useless PR ⇒ flute vendor
=4: town useless PR ⇒ dayvig
within [5,6]: town useless PR ⇒ wiretapper
within [7,8]: town useless PR ⇒ hidden doublevoter
within [9,11]: town useless PR ⇒ 1-shot redirecting SK
within [12,13]: scum’s bag of tricks expands…
within [14,15]: some town PR gets bamboozled (e.g. doc ⇒ hidden vig, investigatives are misled)
= 16: scum gets double roleblocker
= 18: scum chooses one of the following each night: each action targets the player above, or the player below, the intended target in the playerlist. if a second 18 is ever attained, scum wins, and it automatically becomes a "flawless win"


resurrector: choose a dead person to become alive again
doublewatcher doubletracker: you both watch and track some target each night. you get the result twice
flute vendor: give a target a 1-shot cop (gives town/not town)
wiretapper: receive the result(s) that a target receives, if any (no context)
double roleblocker: RB that chooses two targets.


town has some number of moderately strong (if unconventional) PRs, and the remaining are useless PRs. our 2 scum have a nightkill, daychat, and a bunch of other things

everyone gets flavor which is a picture. this gets posted when you flip. you can claim what it is but you can't post the picture. it's not allowed.

BM games are pretty simple, you just buy one or two terminals and a bunch of Treasures.

Man. I had four strips of bacon yesterday. Was one automatically undercooked, one automatically overcooked? No, let's put a stop to that right here, all four strips were excellent.

introducing the new critically exclaimed Smerit Smystem:

a new, revolutionary BM mechanic that allows systematic reward/punishment for behaviors favored/disfavored by mod.

any bad/yucky/unlikeable thing that you do will earn some amount of modslaps on the wrist. any good/fun/exciting things earn mod thumbsups. they cancel each other out.

each modslap gives you a small chance to lose even if you are on the winning team; each mod thumbsup gives you a chance to win even if you are on the losing team.

one can exchange 2 modslaps for a demerit; each demerit makes you 1 vote easier to lynch. one can exchange 3 thumbsups for a merit, which has the opposite effect. you make this exchange by saying "exchange n modslaps" or "exchange n thumbsups".

Is interest in BM really this low? I was thinking of doing one because I had a crazy fun idea that wouldn't fit any other model but looking to see at the queue I found this one nearly 3 months old that I'm signed up for!

do people mind moderate amounts of trolling/silliness in BM? not sure how serious these are outside of the roll setup.

I think it just depends on the person.  Obviously I will try to win, but that doesn't really mean that I care what other people do.
