Machina Mafia (Game over!)

[Kamigami]

Machina: the Machines of Creation

In the beginning, there was Chaos
Shapeless and aimless it flowed
Until one who Understood came to being
Born from the impossibly improbable
Through the inevitability of eternity

He saw that Chaos could be shaped
Bent to follow the laws of Order
He formed the borders of creation
Solid and Liquid, Reality and Imagination
Time and Space, Life and Death

This is the story of the first of the Machines
Who would carry out His grand design
Thrust into a world yet to be
Will they succeed or will they fail
returning to the chaos whence they came?

General Rules

• ONE: FUNDAMENTALS
  
  • All site-wide rules apply. Read and respect them.
    
  • There is no personal communication outside the forum postings (regarding this game) unless your role specifically allows it.
    
  • Do not quote your role PM or any fabricated role PM in a manner that's intended to confirm its veracity.
    
  • Be courteous and respectful to all your fellow players and the moderating team.
    
  • Play to your Win Condition.
  
  
• TWO: GAME PHASES AND VOTING
  
  • Each Day Phase will have a 9 day deadline. Each Night Phase will last 2 days
    
  • Votes will be counted at my discretion. The preferred formats are VOTE: kagami and
    vote: kagami
    . Unvoting is not required.
    
  • By default, a simple majority is necessary to lynch a player or to No Lynch. If there is an even number of living players, it takes one fewer vote to achieve a No Lynch.
    
  • The Day Phase will immediately end once the hammer vote is cast or if the deadline is reached. Further posting is allowed until the thread is locked, but no day actions may be performed nor can they be altered during the "twilight" period.
    
  • Please post at least once every four days. If you fail to do so, you will be replaced.
    
  • A deadline extension may or may not be granted; just ask.
  
  
• THREE: ROLES AND ACTIONS
  
  • All actions must be submitted in bold either by PM, within a scum PT, or within a masonry PT.
    
  • Actions are resolved at the end of the phase unless otherwise noted. Until that time, players may freely alter their actions.
    
  • No day actions may be submitted or altered after a lynch has been achieved (i.e. after the hammer vote)
    
  • Role interactions are resolved serially, details are game-specific and listed below.
    
  • The death of either the actor or target of an action does not cause the action to fail by default.
    
  • You cannot target yourself.
    
  • In cases where the text of a role PM contradicts these rules, the role PM takes precedence.
    
  • Feel free to ask about role interactions in cases where it may be unclear.

Game-Specific Information

Read this if nothing else

General

• There are 4 players aligned with
  Chaos
  , which is the only non-town faction.
  
• I assigned alignments AFTER roles. I made absolutely no adjustments to any role to make it more fitting for the recipient's alignment or for any other reason. The only exception to this is the
  Grand Machinist
  role revealed below.
  
• Players' entire role PM will be revealed upon death.
  
• Performing the scum night kill does not prohibit a player from also performing another night action.
  
• All PTs are open through both the Day and Night phase by default.
  
• Town win condition: You win when all players aligned with
  Chaos
  are eliminated.
  
• Scum win condition: You win when players aligned with
  Chaos
  comprise 50% of the living players, or nothing can prevent this from occurring.
  
• The
  Chaos
  faction has the following factional ability, in addition to factional communication:
  
  Unmake:
  Each night, one
  Chaos
  -aligned player may target another player. That player will be killed. Additionally, if that player is a
  Sensor
  or
  Emitter
  ,
  receivers
  who visit them will receive no signal.

Roles

• All players in this game are either a
  receiver
  , a
  emitter
  , a
  sensor
  , or the
  Grand Machinist
  
  
• Night actions are resolved in this order: Roleblock from
  Unmake
  , Receiving from
  emitters
  , Sensing, Receiving from
  sensors
  , Death from any effect.
  
• Sensors
  and
  Receivers
  are compulsive. If no action is submitted, they will automatically target the living player with the most posts (as shown in the activity counter).
  
• Multiple instances of this role exist in the game:
  
  Spoiler: Town Receiver

  You are a

  Receiver

  , aligned with

  Creation

  
  
  
  
  

  Among the Machina were those who, rather than give the gifts of creation, would receive them. They are the necessary workforce of the Creator, who spread the gifts of the other Machina to chaotic void. Go forth, receiver, and spread the blessings of Creation!

  
  
  

  Abilities

  
  
  

  Receive Signal:

  During each Night phase, you must PM me the name of a currently living player. If that player is a

  Sensor

  or

  Emitter

  , you will learn the nature of their ability and receive it at the end of the Night. If your target is invalid, or if your ability fails for any reason, you will be told that you received 'No Signal' at the end of the Night.
  
  You win when all players aligned with

  Chaos

  are eliminated.
  
  
• This role may or may not exist, but is an example of the
  sensor
  archetype.
  
  Spoiler: Town Watching Sensor

  You are a

  Watching Sensor

  , aligned with

  Creation

  
  
  
  
  

  Among the Machina was a creature of Togetherness and Unity. It possessed the understanding of how disparate objects would come together and transmit Order. You are this being, whose powers can detect how your fellow Machina converge and congregate. Go forth, creature of Unity, and gather victory for your cause!

  
  
  

  Abilities

  
  
  

  Observe Gathering:

  During each Night phase, you must PM me the name of a currently living player. If you are successful, any

  receivers

  who target you will learn which other players have targeted the named player during this Night phase. If your action fails for any reason, you will be informed of the failure.
  
  You win when all players aligned with

  Chaos

  are eliminated.
  
  
• This role may or may not exist, but is an example of the
  Emitter
  archetype.
  
  Spoiler: Town Protection Emitter

  You are a

  Protection Emitter

  , aligned with

  Creation

  
  
  
  
  

  Among the Machina was a being of Conservation. While old things must sometimes be cast aside, other times they must be preserved and remembered. It is you who maintain that which others might destroy. Go forth, conservative one, and ensure that none will reroute the path to victory!

  
  
  

  Abilities

  
  
  

  Emit Protection:

  Each night, any

  receivers

  who visit you will be informed that they have gained the following ability--

  Bulletproof

  : Any attempts to kill you during the Night phase that you receive this ability will fail.

  
  
  You win when all players aligned with

  Chaos

  are eliminated.
  
  
  
• This role is guaranteed to exist in the game:
  
  Spoiler: The Grand Machinist

  You are

  The Grand Machinist

  , aligned with

  Creation

  
  
  
  
  

  You are an avatar of the Creator himself, sent to oversee the Machina. As a being of divinity, you are incorruptible by the allure of disorder, and wield the power both to recreate that which has been lost and to annihilate those who defy your design. Go forth, avatar, and bring victory to the Machines of Creation!

  
  
  

  Abilities

  
  
  

  Known by All:

  Your role will be announced to all as public information.
  
  

  Incorruptible:

  Your role is guaranteed upon setup generation to be aligned with

  Creation

  .
  
  

  Reshape Machina:

  During each Day phase, you may PM me the name of a living player as well as a role name currently in the junkheap. If that player is a

  receiver

  , they will gain the selected role from the junkheap at the end of the Day, and the role will be removed from the junkheap. If that player is

  not a receiver

  , they will be killed at the end of the Day.
  
  You win when all players aligned with

  Chaos

  are eliminated.

Game on!

Day 1 will end in (expired on 2015-12-23 13:00:25)

[Kamigami]

To address a common perception:

Yes, receivers have a rolecopping aspect to them if they target a sensor or emitter. While that's useful knowledge, keep in mind that roles and alignment are independent except in the case of the Grand Machinist.

The primary function of the receiver role is to get information from sensors and effects from emitters.

E.g. Suppose the watching sensor in the example PM targets the player who was nightkilled. If a receiver targeted the watching sensor that night, the receiver will learn who visited the killed player, which is very useful information. If no receiver targeted the watching sensor, then no one will ever get that very useful result.

Edit: Receivers will also learn the sensor's target, unless it is specified that they don't.

[Imperium]

Tammy and I were talking about the setup and it seems optimal to have a couple sensors and a couple receivers claim early game; it will make the scum's nightkill more accurate, yes, but sensors are pretty much fodder until the Grand Machinist dies and receivers claiming gives the Grand Machinist a couple targets for the recycle power if they'd like it.

You'll mostly see pie this game instead of Marquis, who's kind of grumpy about not rolling scum in this playerlist. But too bad.

I like this too. Wisdom's vote bugs me as it will act as a deterrent to people trying to plan optimal function.

@nether, why?

@spiffeh, then vote me.

Don't tell me what to do!

[Stairway to the Abyss]

@imperium, LQ and I have been planning as well. We have come across certain difficulties in solving the optimal use. We need townreads so I can talk to them in Titusonian moon logic individually. You want to enter the stairway to the abyss?
