welcome to M107: gandon bourdippa's adventures in the distant spacefuture

this game will use schadd9++, an invented semi-open setup for 13 players that should be generally pretty ok

mod: it's me

tags: e, arch

the crew:
1. Cuzz
2. Roadrunner7671
3. Dylan32
4. SpaceAnemone
5. LaLight
6. Robz888
7. Eevee
8. gkrieg13

The Rules:

The Golden Rule:
This is a game. Everyone who signs up to play must be considerate of each other, never get personal, and focus on having fun. Once the game starts, having signed up is a commitment: inactivity is just as inconsiderate as rude comments.

The Standard Rules:
1. No communication between players outside of the game thread or shared QTs at any time. This includes passing references, jokes, or cases in other games or threads, whether in context or not.
2. If the game thread is locked, do not post. If you are unsure if something is locked, ask the mod by PM.
3. Direct or verbatim quoting of mod-provided information is strictly forbidden. Paraphrasing is okay.
4. Actions with instructions that do not specify a game state will be resolved in the order they are received.
5. All night actions must be submitted within 24 hours of day ending.
6. Players must post once every 24 hours.
7. Do not edit or delete posts, ever. If you need to clarify or correct something, post again.
8. Invisible text, font size less than 10, and spoiler tags are not allowed.
9. Cryptography is not allowed.
10. The time between a lynch being reached and a flip being provided is called twilight. All players may continue posting during this time, including the lynched player.
11. Dead players may not post in thread or QT, except their Role QT. A lynched player is not "dead" until a flip has been provided.
12. Personal multimedia, such as video or audio recordings, are not allowed in the game thread.

The Voting Rules:
1. Votes should be in this format: Vote: Playername. Unambigiuous nicknames are acceptable, or any string that uniquely identifies a user. Note that the point of voting is, in fact, unambiguity, and attempting to make it unclear to other players (or, of course, mods) which user you are voting for is very ill-advised.
2. Unvotes should be in this format: unvote or Unvote: Playername.
3. Unvotes are not required if changing your vote from one player to another.
4. You may vote: no lynch.
5. Lynches occur when a simple majority (rounded up) of living players is reached. Once reached, a lynch cannot be undone.
6. If a majority lynch is not reached by the Day's deadline, no lynch occurs.

The Rest:
1. Bold, aquamarine text is reserved for the mod. Players may not use it.
2. If you have an issue or problem with the game, please PM the Mod. Do not post complaints in the game thread.
3. Mods make mistakes - please point them out gently. If they can be corrected, they will. If irreversible, they will stand as final to be commiserated over after the game.
4. If a mod error disadvantages one faction greatly, the game may be called off.
5. Ask all questions and make all requests directly to the Mod via PM. Questions deemed as "universal" (defined as questions for which the answers should be available to all players) will be requested to be re-posted in the Game Thread and answered there.
6. One prod will be issued after 48 hours without posting in the game thread. Players are subject to replacement or modkill after one prod.
7. All rule violations will be dealt with according to their severity, as determined by the mod.
8. Each player will receive their own QT, regardless of role. Don't quote from it.
9. If the game goes on for 3 days and 3 nights without a lynch or nightkill, town wins.
10. This game will allow the inclusion of 1 hydra account, that is, a slot in the playerlist occupied by an account to which two users have access; both users can post anywhere the slot could were it occupied by one user.
 -the players are responsible for making this account, and a QT will be provided to them to confer in the same way that regular players are provided such
 -the signature of the account must make clear which two users have access to it
 -each post must make clear which user posted it; this is typically accomplished by signing "-[username]" at the end of the post
 -each individual user in the hydra must comply with activity requirements
 -excessive infractions of these rules will result in force replacement of the hydra with whichever individual user is breaking the rules less
 -in most cases, the hydra account is treated as one player - if people ask things like "is the hydra more likely to be town?" i will eat u

Deadlines:
7-day Days, 2-day Nights

(different kind of static noise)
gandon, this is mission control. do you read?
yeah, i do read! books!
uh we were actually gonna also do that joke except with the latest intergalactic news. have you been following local wolitics?
politics? not really at all, ever
oh, then you are probably not familiar with the term wolitics and thought i just said politics
yes
yes it is a portmanteau of wacko and politics.
isn't that
yes it is still essentially all of politics even in this crisp, old year of 3500 after christ.
haha
wolitics was a term coined recently by Aljandra Sociology to describe this new repeated tendency small groups moderately pretentious races to break off and form their own racist-regressivey cult-type thing bent on choosing certain marginalized races and hating them a lot and blaming them for things and maybe killing them sometimes. at this point we are almost as tired of it as horrified and enraged
that sounds like it sucks a lot. i thought that sentient creatures had gotten over that sort of thing in general, like, a while ago?
dude, that was the first sentence of Sociology's abstract. but the first sentence of her analysis and conclusions was "apparently not"
well, fock. so where does my crew come in?
oh, gandon. always "my crew," never me.
oh, mission control, always so flattering to my crew
well, a particularly icky and yucky wolitical group has sprung up near your Galactic Jurisdiction called the reggen. a representative of the Intergovernment contacted us and a few other people to see if you could engage in a level II reeducation-under-the-guise-of-diplomacy mission with them. and the guy they sent was really hot and i think that if we pull this off then he'll go out with me
cool. what are deets?
it's pretty simple, i'm actually loading the coordinates into your holodrive right now. it's just a simple l2rugd with the Elme modification. you're being sent out in a few hours.
oh nice. i don't have to change out of my pajamas then?
yes, we did all the requisite paperwork. good luck!
(several hours and a bunch of hyperspace noises pass. gandon has gathered her crew in the atrium of her ship.)
aight crew. i assume that all of you nerds know the term "wolitics" already, and so you have some expectation of what we're dealing with. it's an Elme l2rugd, which you guys are super familiar with, and we're doing it on the reggens.
oh, yeah. i sent a memo about those after hearing from control. reggens suck, dude. they have really annoying shapeshifty stuff that we'll have to deal with
nice find, Cope Ylot. aight, let's get to-
(gandon stops, and stares down one of her crew members)
Manda Adnats? didn't you retire 4 months ago to, quote, "find some crazy Sixther to impregnate"?
wha- yeah, i just figured i'd join for thi-
when's my birthday?
uh, uh, z-, uh, zorktober forty-th
(without hesitating, gandon drew her signature rusty and grimy razor and carved open Manda's face. he collapsed onto the ground and morphed into a gross beetle-looking thing with a tattoo, reading "proud to be a reggen and not some other shitty thing")
an impostor. i knew it. the real Manda would never try to guess what my birthday is.
...
fock. this might be more complicated than we thought.

[schadd]

the following information is to related to the makeup of gandon's current crew, i.e., from which establishments she found them.

schadd9++ is a setup that i made in the style of other setups that say "9++" at the end such as asher9++, faust9++, C9++, etc

the players consist of 3 mafia, 9-10 town and 0-1 serial killers.

with some exceptions, each game will include a gandon, a named tracker.

the distribution of other power roles is determined by a set of 6 random numbers; 5 from 1-10 and 1 from 5-10, with different amounts of each number resulting in different types and amounts of power roles.

1-4: T, townie
5: W, wildcard
6: S, sorcerer
7: L, lab
8: G, gun shop
9: O, observatory
10: P, pub

once the set of 6 letters is produced, i add power roles to the setup based on the below list, which maps certain amounts of each letter to certain sets of PRs.

see the end of the post for role PMs for each role.

the pub

an important notion for understanding civilization in the year 3500 is how good space beer is. space beer, which started to be synthesized in 2850, is a beverage that has a lot of the same qualities as its predecessor, earth beer, except with a bunch of random upsides. consuming space beer will result in decreased decision-making capacity, memory loss, and liver damage; however, it actually increases computational ability and physical coordination, and continued astroalcoholism will result in an individual becoming highly motivated to hone one specific skill.

in the pub, a significant demographic is those drunks who have devoted themselves to the study of medicine, though there are a lot of people who are just good at being drunk in general, as in most places.

P: 1-shot bulletproofer
PP: 1-shot bulletproofer, Drunk
PPP: 1-shot bulletproofer, Drunk, Drunk
PPPP: 1-shot bulletproofer, 1-shot bulletproofer, Drunk
PPPPP: 1-shot bulletproofer, 1-shot bulletproofer, Drunk, Drunk
PPPPPP: 1-shot bulletproofer, 1-shot bulletproofer, 1-shot bulletproofer, Drunk

the observatory

considering that it is termed the "distant spacefuture," one can easily understand that the art of space travel and interaction with celestial bodies is well understood. the thing about these sciences, however, that the 2017 layman might not consider, is that astronomy and space travel have proven to be very intuitive and organic sciences rather than algorithmic, and are similar skills to social and emotional intelligence. indeed, many people in the observatory are skilled in both.

O: Tracker (not named)
OO: Tracker, Drunk
OOO: Tracker, Drunk, Townrole Cop
OOOO: Tracker, Tracker, Townrole Cop
OOOOO: Tracker, Tracker, Townrole Cop, Drunk
OOOOOO: Tracker, Tracker, Townrole Cop, Drunk, Townrole Cop OR Tracker (coinflip chooses between TRC or tracker)

the gun shop

there's a certain intimacy at the gun shop. everyone knows each other, they could all blow each other up really easily, they all have shared interests. so they all hang out at the gun shop, together, usually. they talk about guns, buy guns, and don't shoot each other even though they could probably do that. if they wanted too.

hey, could i purchase these two guns?
sure.

as the cashier rings him up, he start to sweat. he feels a tingle in his spine. he wouldn't have it any other way.

G: Vengeful
GG: Dayvig
GGG: Vengeful, Dayvig
GGGG: Dayvig, Dayvig
GGGGG: Vengeful, Dayvig, Dayvig
GGGGGG: Dayvig, Dayvig, Dayvig

the lab

the lab is a pleasant environment. most labs are built in grassland areas and have a lot of rooms largely open to the outsides. animals come in and help with the experiments like a cool sci-fi snow white. this has been the guiding principle of most innovation in the last millenium. scientists tend to be extraordinarily happy people.

L: Universal Backup
LL: UB, Tracker
LLL: UB, Inventor
LLLL: UB, Inventor, Drunk
LLLLL: Inventor, Inventor, Drunk
LLLLLL: Inventor, Inventor, Drunk, UB

the sorcerer's tower

magic has been around for many hundreds of years, but it's kinda been outclassed by secular technologies for as long as it's been around. still, there are plenty of people who use magic and would describe it as more of a hobby than a career.

0S: a random townie is Hidden Ascetic
S: 1-shot Bulletproof 1-shot ninja Serial Killer
SS: same SK, one letter is added to W
SSS: gandon becomes a 1-shot Bulletproof Jailkeeper instead of a Tracker
SSSS: same gandon modification, Anarchic Cop
SSSSS: same gandon modification, Anarchic Cop, one letter is added to W
SSSSSS: same gandon modification, Anarchic Cop with two shots, one letter is added to W

wildcard

borrowing from faust9++, wildcard is a separate roll that simulates a roll of another random category (not including the sorcerer's tower). for example, a roll of OOWWTT where W is chosen to simulate O would result in two Trackers and two Drunks, whereas OOOOTT would result in 2 Trackers and a Townrole Cop.

reggen lair

ah yes. the baddies. they've been given time to prepare proportional to how much time gandon spent, uh. preparing. it makes sense.

the mafia receive power roles in inverse to the amount of T rolls, and thus in proportion to the town's power roles.

TTTTT: Goon, Goon, Goon,
TTTT: Goon, 1-shot Roleblocker, 1-shot Rolestopper,
TTT: Tracker OR Townrole Cop, 1-shot Roleblocker, 1-shot Rolestopper,
TT: Tracker OR Townrole Cop, 1-shot Roleblocker, 1-shot Rolestopper, one randomly chosen mafia is hidden Commuter
T: Tracker OR Townrole Cop, Roleblocker and Rolestopper with 5 communal shots, hidden Commuter
0T: Tracker OR Townrole Cop, Roleblocker and Rolestopper with 5 communal shots, hidden Commuter, Daytalk for Day 3 only

Role PMs:

you win when all threats to the town are eliminated.

you are a town universal backup. the first time a town non-VT non-vengeful role dies, you will inherit their (remaining) abilities and become informed whom, if anybody, they targeted and what results they received. if multiple such roles die in one night, you will inherit whichever has its role PM listed first in the role PMs post.

you win when all threats to the town are eliminated.

you are a town inventor. you have three inventions: a doctor, a tracker, and a townrole cop. each night, you may choose one of your inventions to send to a target if you have any remaining. if the action succeeds, they will be able to use that ability for one night in addition to any other abilities they may have.
they will be informed that they received the invention the morning after you send it, but not the identity of the sender.

you win when all threats to the town are eliminated.

you win when all other players are dead or when only one townsperson, one mafia, and yourself are alive.

clarifications:
general:
-an action that fails in any way will still use a shot wherever that's relevant

drunks:
-drunks are incapable of being roleblocked, due to excessive dexterity. if a drunk or a drunk's target is blocked, nothing happens; if a drunk or a drunk's target is jailed, the drunk is protected from one kill. rolestoppers still work, because they're different
-drunks can cause duplicate inventions to be given.
-all investigative results are given as "{player} was {result}," thus an investigative with a drunk targeting their target would get multiple results and be able to determine who was the drunk.

tavern:
-targets of the 1-shot bulletproofer are not notified that they were targeted by that thing
-if someone is targeted by multiple instances of bulletproofing, they will be able to survive that many kills. gandon with the sorcerer's modification will also stack in that way.

gun area:
-both vengeful and dayvig are affected by commuting and bulletproof

lab:
-universal backup's inheriting ability is not affected by roleblockers
-universal backups ignore inventions that have been given to people, but not power roles that do not have any shots left
-in the event of multiple universal backups, both of them can inherit the same thing and ignore each other
-the usage of an invention does not impede the use of any other action
-receivers of inventions also receive essentially role PMs for what their inventions do

sorcerer's tower
-hidden ascetic doesn't flip
-anarchic cop is an ability usable by any player during the day that is activated by saying "howdy ho mary belle" in the game thread and results in the moderator publicly announcing the alignment of the person who posted it. if a non-town uses this ability, the shot isn't used up. in the SSSSSS scenario, there are two shots to the anarchic cop, which becomes clear after the first one is used.

reggens
-any form of roleblocker or rolestopper will flip as "roleblocker" or "rolestopper"; communal roleblockers/stoppers look the same as 1-shot ones
-hidden commuter doesn't flip
-scum don't know they have day 3 talk until day 3, when i will say "hey guys the thread is still unlocked....... wanna keep saying stuff..............?"
-scum can action and kill on the same night

[SpaceAnemone]

Do hydras get to talk together privately and discuss the game, or both just post from the same account?

[schadd]

-the players are responsible for making this account, and a QT will be provided to them to confer in the same way that regular players are provided such

[schadd]

since there isn't any limit on intrapersonal communication between one single player unless u have a severed corpus callosum or something, the two people in a hydra can talk by whichever means they see fit however
