Pick Your Power X/Y Mafia

Mechanics

At the beginning of the game, there is a draft to determine the order for the bidding on roles.

Once this has happened, each player will send in the role they'd like to be. Only one role from each "slot" will be awarded.
As such, in the event multiple players select the same role (or the same "slot"), the player highest in the draft order wins the role, whilst the others remain Vanilla.

Roles are then distributed and Day 1 begins.
Throughout the bidding phases, the thread is locked, however, mafia may collude privately during this time and then again throughout the day.


Step 1: The Draft

Once alignments have been dealt out, each player must send a (whole) 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.

Step 2: Bidding for Roles

Once the draft order has been determined, each player PM's the moderator of the game with the role they'd like to be. Roles are unisex, in the sense, that they can be selected by Mafia or Town. So, it's possible to have a Mafia 1-Shot Vig or a Town 1-Shot Vig, and so on.

Here are the list of roles players select from:

1)Night 3 Vigilante OR Vengeful
2)1-Shot Vigilante OR 1-Shot PGO
3)Cop OR 1-Shot Redirector
4)1-Shot Commuter OR 1-Shot Watcher
5)Doctor OR Roleblocker
6)Universal Backup OR Role Cop
7)Neighborizer OR Fruit Vendor
8)Jailkeeper OR Tracker

1. SeaBeeGipson
2. Lachiton
3. Brewersalliance
4. Canik, Town Tracker, was killed in cold blood on Night 3.
5. KevinH, Mafia Universal Backup, was arrested on Day 3.

So i suggest everyone to start submitting bids asap.

[Lord MK]

All role PMs sent out.

 

Game will soon start.

[Lord MK]

Ninok, a City like any other. With its share of crime and drugs.

There is a powerful Mafia organization, who is always trying to get control of the city.  There is always a murder taking place somewhere in the city every day. There are few honest Cops in the city. The authorities are deep in corruption.There are some freelance citizens working to secure the city, but they are not as successful always.

 

Will the Mafia threat come to an end, no one knows.

Let’s hope someone saves Ninok, soon.

[Lord MK]

Day 1 begins.

Somewhere in a dark ally of Ninok a figure looms.. waiting patiently.. someoe walks by. The figure leaps from the shadows!

​"Hi I'm Canik! I'm the founder of this city! That's why it's called Ninok. See they were trying to name it after me but we had foreigners make all our signs and they mistranslated it to Ninok. Would you like to donate to replace the signs? If everyone I lead out at donates $500 we'll have those signs fix-" * bzzzt! Canik is tasered and falls face first in a puddle.

For not posting all that fancy stuff... ... ... I didn't either, so for voting on a Mafia Scum beginner. 

[The Warrior]

This is an interesting setup. We all need to keep in mind that any role could be held by town or scum. So any role that is traditionally townie or traditionally scum does not necessarily hold true in this game.

With 14 players we are likely looking at either 3 or 4 scum. I would guess that there is 3 but depending on the roles there could be 4.

@MK - Was the number of scum members pre-determined before roles were selected?

I seen the way you looked at Lego in the Waiting Room for this game to start. Definitely mafia.

Vote: No-lynch

 

We have 7 roles in play and it's in the town's best interest to keep them all alive.

 

That said, the scum could have the roles, too, but if 3/4 of the players are town, probability suggests that 3/4 of the roles would go to town.

[Lachiton]

*8 roles.
So by probability 1/4 roles means 2 of them could've gone to scum. And since the alignments were already decided before the draft, there's high chance that scum got 3 roles. So almost all of the scums have power roles making it a bit risky to go for a no lynch.

Vote: Canik

Reasoning - He's obviously upset at the foreigners incorrectly translating the city signs. He's trying to blame them when in fact, it was the founder of this city who was facilitating the kills in secret.

 

Fos: SBG - He's always scum. Somehow.

Agreed about the roles for sure. Something to be careful of here is that a role that could be powerful under townie control could prove to be even deadlier under scum control.

 

As for number of scum, you're probably right. Originally I was wondering the possibility of two scum factions with the number of power roles that could be in town hands, but the way the story folds out, I don't believe that to be the case anymore.

In all possibility, we could have less than 8 roles in play. Unless I misunderstood the bidding process, if everybody voted for only 1 of 2 numbers (as an example), there'd be only that number of roles in play.

[legoboyvdlp]

I really don't see how some roles, like cop work with scum. I guess a doctor can protect a scum friend, but the cop is useless as scum, since the scum already know who everyone is, correct?

Basic maths dude. Everyone knew whether you're scum or town before the draft began. So scum already knew each other and obviously submitted bidding numbers unique to each other.
I am just giving my take on Kevin's probability theory. Best scenario scum bagged 0 or 1 power role but best case scenarios rarely happen.

That's true, but we can't be sure of that. But you do agree that no lynch is not the best option for this setup, right?

So any role that is traditionally townie or traditionally scum does not necessarily hold true in this game.

I really don't see how some roles, like cop work with scum. I guess a doctor can protect a scum friend, but the cop is useless as scum, since the scum already know who everyone is, correct?

Good point. Maybe to deny cop being a townie role perhaps? Other than that I don't see how cop can be of any use for scum.

[legoboyvdlp]

IMO No Lynch is basically either a KevinH or a scum move. And sometimes both, lol. By lynching someone, mafia kill someone, unless the roleblocker gets lucky. And with pure guessing, you have a 7% chance, which admittedly isn't great... but using logic and intelligence you can really narrow that down.
