BMV - Truly Bastard Role Madness Mafia - GAME OVER, TOWN WINS
« on: August 10, 2012, 02:50:43 pm »

Dibs on modding the next BM after Morgrim's. I'm calling it TBRMM - Truly Bastard Role Madness Mafia. Glooble has seen the set up (still in progress) and agrees it's pretty awesome.

I'd love to get lots and lots of people. ~17. It starts Friday.

Everyone will get a weird role of some kind. The roles may or may not be massively slightly overpowered and unbalanced. Bastardly things will happen.

In List:
1.eHalc, R2-D2, crushed by rocks Day 2
2. theorel, Snapcaster Mage turned Cylon Agent, lynched Day 7
3. Captain_FriskVoltaire, Draco Malfoy stabbed Night 6
4. pingpongsam , Constable Odo, phasered Day 1
5. DSell, Dr. Henry Jekyll shot Night 6
6. ftl, Senator Palpatine, shot Night 4
7. Archetype, Tweedle-Dee, knifed Night 4
8. Morgrim7, Katniss Everdeen, lynched Day 2
9. O, Donald X. Vaccarino, survived
10. cayvie, Ned Flanders, survived
11. Galzria, Fluttershy, lynched Day 4
12. insomniac, jotheonah, finally lynched Day 5
13. Watno, Zaphod Beeblebrox, shot and stabbed Night 2
14. Robz888, Princess Azula, lynched Day 5
15. ashersky, Tweedle-Dum, suicided Night 4
16. Cuzz, Jigglypuff, stabbed Night 4
17. Axxle, Severus Snape, arrowed and shot Night 1
18. Eevee, the Scarecrow of Oz, shot Night 3

Back-up Mod: Glooble
Troll: Voltgloss

Here I finally got around to writing rules. These CAN be trusted, btw.

Game Rules:

General Gameplay and Etiquette:
1. You may not quote private Moderator-supplied information (either real or fabricated) of any kind.  Paraphrasing (for role claims, etc.) is acceptable. THIS RULE IS STILL IN EFFECT THIS GAME.
2. There is to be NO personal communication outside of the forum postings unless your role PM specifically allows it.  Mafia members may communicate at night and during the confirmation stage.
3. If you have a role with a Night action your choices are due to me by the posted deadline. If I do not receive your choice via PM by the posted deadline you will forfeit your actions. In case of multiple submissions, the last valid one before the deadline will be used.
4. Roles with Night actions will not be able to submit an action on Night 0 (i.e. during the confirmation stage).
5. Any player with a Night action may instead submit a “No Action” PM to let the Mod know that you do not want to perform your expected action that Night phase. Unless your role is specified in your PM as mandatory
6. As a general rule you should aim for one post every 48 hours, minimum, to keep the game moving.

Voting, Deadlines, and Player Death:
1. A simple majority (rounded up) of all living members must agree on one person for a lynch to occur prior to deadline.
2. Once you have reached a simple majority no further unvoting will change someone’s fate. Further votes will also be ignored.
3. Once a player is lynched the game enters twilight until I post a death scene; all players including the one who was lynched may continue to post during twilight.
4. Please submit votes as: Vote: PlayerName. Votes will NOT be counted if they are not bold! Obvious abbreviations or nicknames will be counted so long as they are unambiguous.
5. Please submit vote revocations as either Unvote: PlayerName or Unvote. Unvotes are not necessary before changing votes.
6. You may Vote: No Lynch - a simple majority of these vote types are required to send the game to Night phase without a lynch.
7. This game will have 1 week deadlines. If a player or No Lynch does not have a simple majority at deadline, no lynch will occur, and the game will go into night.
8. Once you are killed (either via lynch or night kill) you may no longer post. This means that you do not even get a “Bah” post. The dead in this game are silent. THIS RULE IS STILL IN EFFECT.
9. Do not edit or delete posts. We don't want some players having more information than others.  If you want to clarify posts, feel free to double post.

Miscellaneous/Mechanics:
1. Bold, blue text is reserved for the Mod. No invisible/small text is allowed, nor is cryptography.  except by special dispensation from the Mod.
2. If you have an issue/problem with the game, please PM the Mod privately. Do not post issues/complaints in the game thread.
3. 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.  The Mod has made a series of blunders already related to cryptography. Also he left Eevee out of the sign up. Clearly mistakes abound.
4. Please bold all requests to the Mod so that they don’t get missed.
5. Prods of missing players will be issued automatically after 72 hours of no activity or upon request after 48 hours of no activity. A prodded player has 48 hours to respond or risks replacement. A player who has been prodded 3 times is subject to replacement without further notice.
6. Rule violations will be dealt with according to their severity, up to and including a Modkill.
7. If you anticipate being unavailable for more than a 48-hour period please post a notice to that effect in the thread. Treat this game as a commitment. Be considerate – don’t leave us hanging.
8. The Mod may lie. But the Mod will not lie arbitrarily – all untruths will have game mechanics at their root. Anything followed by “I promise I'm not lying” or some variation thereof will NOT be a lie.


The Golden Rule:

Please remember that this is a game and your main objective is to have fun! Be considerate of each other, don’t get personal, and enjoy the game.

Game Setup
Game Setup information:

We will be playing a closed bastard role madness set-up. That means:

- Everyone will have a role with either a passive ability or a night action.

- I'm not telling you how many scum there are, how many scum factions there are, or anything else.

- Some roles are standard mafia roles you know and love, but with a twist. Others are inventions of my own.

- Flavor is not necessarily fluff, and revealing it should be treated with caution. The flavor in your PMs might connect to other flavor and revealing it could tell people more about you then you might like.

- Name and Alignment (not necessarily role) will be revealed on flip. This will not be a lie.

- An effort has been made to make this set-up balanced and make victory possible for everyone. I'm not 100% confident that effort was successful, but the intent is for the game to be fun for everyone, and I strongly believe a chance of winning is a component of that.

I guess I can be in for a bastard game. Isotropic going away soon means I probably won't be playing a lot of online dominion anyway:'(

I'm the back-up mod.

But yes, it's going to be epic.

I think town!Glooble pointing to something as a scum tell and then shortly thereafter doing that thing is a lot more likely than scum!Glooble doing that.

I just realized quite how many Mafia games are ongoing right now. I had forgotten about VII and VIII cause I'm not in them. That actually makes 5 games going now, and 3 more in sign-ups! I think it's safe to say this won't start up until at least 2 have ended. Maybe thatll help us fill out the numbers.

If this is bastard as in "the roles are nuts and you *may* be lied to*, /in.

If this is bastard as in "oh look I'm going to leave you with nothing so you're just sitting around there idly" (IE the two BM's I've been in). 

than /out

It's the former. Most assuredly. It'll be a closed set-up, but you'll be told what day it is, how many people it takes to lynch, the roles and alignments of dead players.

This is not a variation of "what will you get and how much will you like it." It's more like eHalc's game if eHalc were meaner and maybe less concerned with balance.

Being concerned with balance doesn't mean things are actually balanced.
