Umlaut wrote:I just /inned to mod a mini normal (again!). Here's the setup information.

Roles:
  • 2x
    Mafia Ascetic

    1x
    Mafia Traitor

    1x
    Town Checker

    1x
    Town Loyal Jailkeeper

    1x
    Town Day 4 Innocent Child

    1x
    Town Nurse

    4x
    Townie
Mechanics:
  • Days are 10 IRL days, nights are 2 IRL days
  • Majority-only elimination mechanics
  • Daytalk
Notes:
  • The only part of this setup I'm really wed to is Mafia Ascetics vs. Town Checker; the rest is all up for tweaking.
  • The Loyal modifier on the Jailkeeper is there so that they'll know a deathless night can't possibly have been caused by jailing the Mafioso who executed the nightkill. (That would be the case anyway, but with this modifier the Jailkeeper knows it.)
  • I'm going to include information about the Traitor in the scum PT rather than in role PMs, if that's okay. This is so I don't have to figure out how best to redact it from their PMs on flip.
Spoiler: Role PMs
Mafia AsceticWelcome to Mini Normal {NUMBER}! You are a
Mafia Ascetic
.

You and your teammate(s) share a private topic in which you can talk during all phases of the game, as long as you are alive.

Each night you and your teammate(s) may together choose one living player to shoot and kill. You must specify which of you carries out the shot.

You cannot be targeted by any non-killing action.

You win when the Mafia is the sole surviving faction, or when nothing can prevent this.

Mafia TraitorWelcome to Mini Normal {NUMBER}! You are a
Mafia Traitor
.

You know the Mafia are {MAF1} and {MAF2}. However, you have no ability to communicate privately with them.

You win when the Mafia is the sole surviving faction, or when nothing can prevent this.

Town CheckerWelcome to Mini Normal {NUMBER}! You are a
Town Checker
.

Each night you may
check
one player. You will be informed whether this action succeeds (but the action has no other effect).

You win when the Town is the sole surviving faction.

Town Loyal JailkeeperWelcome to Mini Normal {NUMBER}! You are a
Town Loyal Jailkeeper
.

Each night you may
jail
one player. That player will be protected from kills during the night, and will also be unable to take any actions.

Your ability can only be used on Town-aligned players; if you target a Mafia-aligned player, nothing will happen.

You win when the Town is the sole surviving faction.

Town Day 4 Innocent ChildWelcome to Mini Normal {NUMBER}! You are a
Town Day 4 Innocent Child
.

If you are alive at the start of Day 4, you will be openly confirmed as Town-aligned.

You win when the Town is the sole surviving faction.

Town NurseWelcome to Mini Normal {NUMBER}! You are a
Town Nurse
.

Each night, but only after a Doctor has died, you may
protect
one player from a single kill attempt.

You win when the Town is the sole surviving faction.

TownieWelcome to Mini Normal {NUMBER}! You are a
Townie
.

You win when the Town is the sole surviving faction.


Spoiler: Result PMs
Checker (result)You checked {PLAYER}.

Checker (no result)You failed to check {PLAYER}.


Spoiler: Rules post
Rules


None of these rules supercede or contradict the Forum Rules and Guidelines.




Tl;dr
  • This game is Normal.
  • Days are
    240 hours (10 days)
    ; nights are
    48 hours (2 days)
    .
  • Standard 48/24 prod timers; naked prod dodges are not counted.
  • Standard majority-only elimination mechanics.
  • Private threads have daytalk.




Conduct
  1. Don't use
    orange
    , it's my color.
  2. Play to win.
  3. Don't discuss the game outside of the game until it's over.
  4. Don't flame. Don't harass. Don't use insults that target minority, disadvantaged, or legally protected classes.
  5. Keep interpersonal disputes out of the game thread.
  6. Don't quote or misquote private communications from the moderator.
  7. Don't use encryption, tiny/hidden/unreadable text, or anything that could be easily confused for such.
  8. All replacement requests will be taken as serious, irrevocable, and immediate. Once you request replacement you are no longer a player and may not post.
  9. Don't game the rules, pretend to break the rules, or intentionally test the limits. All pretended violations will be dealt with identically to actual violations.
  10. Don't break the rules of any other ongoing game in this thread.
  11. Don't argue moderator actions in the game thread. If you want to dispute a ruling, do so via PM.


Game mechanics


Day
  • Days begin with a deadline of
    240 hours
    (10 days).
  • Days will end when one of the following events occurs:
    • The deadline is reached.
    • A
      yeet
      (elimination) or
      no-yeet
      (no-elimination) is achieved.
    • A town-aligned player is modkilled.
  • Votes should be made via the vote tag: “[vote]<playername>[/vote]” or “[v]<playername>[/v]”. Full player names or initial segments thereof are preferred.
  • When more than half of living players are voting for the same player, that player will be
    yeeted
    (eliminated) and the day will end. Votes are irrevocable once a majority is achieved.
  • You may vote not to yeet by voting for “No yeet”. When half or more of living players do so, the day will end without a yeet.
  • If the day reaches deadline without a majority, there will be no yeet.
  • I will interpret malformed votes according to my own discretion. In general, if it looks like a vote, I will probably count it as a vote. I reserve the right to edit malformed votes for easier counting.
  • When a majority vote has been achieved but not yet recognized by the moderator, the game is in
    twilight
    . Players, including the yeetee, may continue to post during this period.
  • Under certain circumstances I may elect to extend the deadline. I will announce this in thread if it occurs.
Night
  • Nights will last
    48 hours
    , or until all living players give me their approval to end the night early.
  • During the night, you should be unable to post in the public game thread. If for some reason you are able, doing so is still against the rules.
  • Mafia night abilities should be submitted in the Mafia's private thread. Factional kills must specify which mafioso carries out the kill.
  • Town night abilities should be submitted via PM.
  • Use of active night abilities is optional unless otherwise specified in the role PM; if no action is submitted, no action will occur.


Activity requirements
  • Players who do not confirm within
    48 hours
    of receiving their role PM will be replaced.
  • Players who do not post any game-related content for
    48 hours
    in a single game-day will incur a prod.
  • Players who do not post any game-related content for
    24 hours
    following a prod will be replaced.
  • Players who incur three prods will be replaced.
  • “Prod dodges” (posts with no game-related content) will be disregarded for purposes of the prod timer.
  • If for any reason you are temporarily unable to meet these requirements, you may declare V/LA status
    in thread
    and be excused. V/LA declarations must include a definite end date.
  • Notwithstanding V/LA status, any player who does not post at all for
    7 days
    of consecutive day time will be replaced.
  • These are minimal requirements, not recommendations; please keep the game active.


Sample role PM


At least one player will receive the role of
Townie
and the following role PM:[/font]
Welcome to Mini 2156! You are a
Townie
.

You win when the Town is the sole surviving faction.

I'll let you approve it since she hasn't posted in a bit and consider it approved.
