[MK-3] Pick Your Power X/Y - Town Wins

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

Caniks post:

​I'd be surprised if The Warrior proposed that plan because it's so insanely risky and what pay-off has their been? Are none of us suspicious of Kitkat/TW/Robert now? I know I still am. You still are. I doubt anyone has wrote them off as town.

 

The only way the plan wouldn't be real dumb is if Kitkat is scum and the two he said are his allies are town. That way we waste time on them, possibly lynch them, after we discovered Kitkat was indeed scum. 

 

this is what i was trying to say in post #43, he just said it way better and easier than me

 

 

 

 

yes and in the meantime i get lynched, sounds like a great plan, a real winner

 

​

i guess i gotta be non-rp. hmmph.

Unvote:Canik

​I still thought it was funny but it is time to get down to business. :) *puts his Mayor hat on*

​@vgmmaster - I agree those are good candidates. Wish we could get a new post count tho I think iSoc & Rafay are falling far behind.

​:P

​Surviving isn't the objective. Your team winning is the objective.

​Still, it's not a great plan. But one that might be used if you weren't confident you'd be able to play scum well. Still rather unlikely I think, you probably were just joking. But it is a possibility

At this point I'd say lynch either Rafay or GoldIron. GoldIron is new and has made only two posts. But it is his first game. On the other hand doesn't Rafay do this every game? So maybe Rafay might be a better choice? Not sure...

Unvote Lachiton

 

Vote GoldIron

 

 

Someone that inactive is better off lynched. My previous vote was on Lachiton, but I think the reason Lach is going after me is not that he is scum but that he has assumptions about me from the last mafia game. [but for the record bro just because I was scum last time doesn't mean that I'm a million times more likely than anyone else in this game to be scum and you should really factor that in before you go lynching the wrong guy. Just sayin'.] But I got the better of him last time :smug: (among my many other virtues I am gracious in victory) so I understand his scepticism.

I knew GoldIron was inactive, but damn. Two posts and his last post was on page 4:

 

Post #30

Vote: Canik

 

Since he is owner of the town, he must be helping to cover up the corruption. Maybe, the city signs are codes for some shady things going on.

 

Post #74

I was away for a while for like 2 days.

 

My defense: I'm a new player, there no reason I can be a scum. I don't even know why people are saying scum instead of mafia.

Lord MK wouldn't just give a new player a difficult role to play.

 

I'll first start off by saying that I was never the biggest fan of lynching inactives in the sense that provided they're town, it gets scum off the hook scot-free. It's also easier to vote an inactive and be able to keep suspiciousness down on the basis that 'it's an inactive townie, he's doing us no good anyways'. While that is true to an extent, and there are times I'm somewhat down with that, I also feel we have better lynch candidates as well this early in the game. That said, with lynching being our only true power as town, if he's not helping town, it's better than a no lynch. Later in the game, nothing lets scum get away easier than inactive townies.

 

Getting to the posts on hand, some of it's already been touched on. The second post is your typical newbie defense. Already been explained multiple times that being new has nothing to do with anything. Although considering how inactive GoldIron has seemingly been inactive as a whole*, I'm reading it more as newbie jitterbugs.

 

The first post was also touched on briefly, but not necessarily GI's role in it (iirc). GI was the third vote in the "impeach Canik" vote train. One could argue this as bandwagoning. There's also the fact it was only hours after Frigid's vote. Even though I kind of gave Frigid crap for it, I don't necessarily think they're connected.

 

OOC - Can anyone attest to how inactive GoldIron has been as a whole? Don't think it's possible to search nations if you don't have one yourself so can't speak to inactivity on that front. I did see he only has 18 posts on the forums though. Can't attest to when his last overall post was with limited forum access.

GoldIrons last day active on the forums was Dec 18th. So I think he's just completely inactive

i am thinking of replacing him if he doesn't get lynched tonight.

I blame Brewers for getting us an inactive player.

 

 

Ok, rafay, you are off the hook for now.

Having only 6 posts ( if I counted right) isn't anything to be proud of.

 

Presuming GoldIron is replaced by a far more active player then you are probably on my lynch list.

 

But remember, don't go easy on the replacement, he is just as likely to be scum or town as GoldIron was.

Canik before this post you had 13, and I have 12.

 

lol okay, my bad iSoc. Didn't have a post count so was just basing if off feels. We'll wait till D2 to lynch you then. :)

 

 

That's the spirit!

 

Let the power roles do their thing.

 

If nobody hints at anything, then day 2 lynch is Goldiron or Rafay for inactivity.  (although I will sort of side with Rafay that he is active enough to make votes without posting fluff, I'd like to see more)

I guess you'll be day 3 lynch then

​touché :D

 

And merry christmas!

Well GoldIron is completely inactive, and since we are grasping at straws, I think it makes the most sense to lynch him.  Unless MK is 100% going to replace him if he lives, I will be putting my vote on GoldIron.  

[OOC] My apologies for my absence the last couple days. Christmastime is a really busy time for my family. I hope you all had a Merry Christmas. [/OOC]

 

@MK - Is the activity rule in place in this game? I'm assuming not since I don't think it was listed in the rules. Is that accurate?

 

If there is no activity rule which would mod-kill a completely inactive GoldIron then there are only two options in my opinion:

1) Replace him if possible. The sooner the better please.

2) Lynch him. A completely inactive townie is a completely unhelpful townie. He cannot be counted on when needed and is not offering anything to help the town.

 

If we are trying to replace GoldIron let's do it asap.
