The Rules:

1. All site rules apply.
2. Be nice. Mafia games can get heated but remember never to attack the person.
3. Play to your wincon.
4. Days are approximately 8 days long, nights are approximately 48 hours long.
5. Failure to post at least once every 48 hours will result in a prod. If you do not pick up your prod in 24 hours, or if I feel that your activity is low enough to be disrespectful to the other players, I will look for a replacement.
6. Please put votes in this format: VOTE: Something_Smart. Bolded votes are allowed (

Vote: Something_Smart

), but I'm more likely to miss them. In case you don't know, you can vote with:

Code: Select all

[v]Something_Smart[/v]

and unvote with

Code: Select all

[uv][/uv]

Unvotes are not necessary to change your vote.
In addition, to vote for a player to receive the Beetle, use the heal tags, like so: HEAL: Something_Smart. This vote can be removed with HEAL: Unvote or UNVOTE: heal Something_Smart.
7. No vote trickery. Votes inside spoiler tags and obviously broken quotes will not be counted. Don't attempt to confuse other players over whether your vote was valid.
8. If more than half the players are voting for a player, then that player is hammered and removed from the game, and the day will end. If the deadline is reached before a hammer occurs, the day will end without anyone dying.
9. If you have a question for me, put it in bold and say

@Mod

or

@Something_Smart

. If it's not something you want made public, feel free to shoot me a PM. If you need me in a pinch, you can reach me on Discord under

Something_Smart#8109

(and the worst under

Tom#4827

).
10.

This spooky shade of orange (#4F2200) is the mod color.

Do not use it. Do not impersonate me.
11. Do not discuss this game in any other thread except in PT's created specifically for this game. Do not discuss any other ongoing game in this thread.
12. Do not quote any out-of-thread communications with me or with any other player.
13. Do not post if you are dead.
14. Do not pretend to break any of these rules. Pretending to break a rule is punishable just as harshly as actually breaking it.
15. My word is law. Just because it is not stated here does not mean that it is acceptable. I am generally a nice person, and will give you a warning if you do something I don't approve of, but it's always better to ask than risk the consequences (see rule 9).
16. The mafia have daytalk and may request a Discord server if they so desire.
17. This is an open setup. The setup is as follows:

Spoiler: Setup

Breaking news! A live specimen of the Red-Horned Dung Beetle (Scarabaeus perplexia), once thought to be extinct, has been discovered deep in the African jungle. As far as we know, this is the only living Red-Horned Dung Beetle left in existence, and that has caught the attention of some... rather eccentric collectors, who seem to be abandoning scruples in an attempt to capture it.

The beetle was placed in the care of Dr. Zenkava of the University of Warsaw, but it seems there has been some grave news on this front. Dr. Zenkava was shot outside of the laboratory and is now in critical condition at Orłowskiego Hospital. We can only hope that Dr. Zenkava is able to recover quickly enough to identify the attacker, who is still at large. In the meantime, a new caretaker for the beetle must be found...

2 Mafia Goons

7 Townies

All townies have an equal chance of being a

Gardener

, a

Sentry

, or a

Surgeon

.

The

Red-Horned Dung Beetle

begins the game with no caretaker. During any day in which it has no caretaker, players may-- but do not have to-- make a majority vote to place the

Red-Horned Dung Beetle

in the care of a player. If a Mafia member ever becomes the caretaker of the

Red-Horned Dung Beetle

, the Mafia win immediately. (This means that any player receiving it is confirmed as town, if the game continues.) If the caretaker of the

Red-Horned Dung Beetle

dies, it will revert to having no caretaker.

During the night, the players may take the following actions:

Mafia Goon

-- each night, one Mafia member may carry out the factional kill on a player of their choice.

Mafia Goon

-- each night, each Mafia member may attempt to steal the

Red-Horned Dung Beetle

. This will only succeed if the Beetle has no caretaker at the time the action resolves; steals resolve after kills, so this can happen if the caretaker dies that night. If successful, the Mafia member will come into possession of the

Red-Horned Dung Beetle

, and thus win the game.

Mafia Goon

-- once during the game, one Mafia member may roleblock a player, preventing them from taking any actions that night. This may be done at the same time as the above actions.

Town Gardener

-- each night, the Gardener may choose one of two options: either (1) target a player and learn whether or not that player has attempted to steal the

Red-Horned Dung Beetle

on this night or any previous night; or (2) target a player and make them permanently unable to possess the

Red-Horned Dung Beetle

(if they are voted to receive it, instead nothing will happen, and if they attempt to steal it the attempt will automatically fail).

Town Sentry

-- once per game, if not the caretaker of the Beetle, the Sentry may choose one of two options: either (1) defend the

Red-Horned Dung Beetle

, preventing anyone from stealing it that night; or (2) attempt to steal the

Red-Horned Dung Beetle

, becoming its new caretaker if successful (if the Beetle has a caretaker, this is only successful if the caretaker dies that night). Sentries have a higher steal priority than Mafia members; if multiple players of the same alignment make an unblocked attempt to steal the

Red-Horned Dung Beetle

in the same night, one will succeed at random.

Town Sentry

-- once per game, if the

Red-Horned Dung Beetle

has a caretaker, the Sentry may choose to guard that caretaker. If the caretaker would die at night, the Sentry dies instead. If multiple Sentries guard a player who is attacked, one dies at random. If the Sentry guards a player who is also healed by a Surgeon, the Sentry will still die.

Town Surgeon

-- each night, the Surgeon may choose one of two options: either (1) heal a player that they did not heal in the previous night, protecting them from death if they are not also a Surgeon; or (2) operate on Dr. Zenkava. If exactly one Surgeon operates on Dr. Zenkava, and that Surgeon survives the night and is not roleblocked, the operation will be a success, and any further operation attempts by that Surgeon will do nothing (but will not interfere with other Surgeons operating). If two successful operation attempts are made on Dr. Zenkava, the Doctor wakes up and is able to identify the attacker; the Mafia must choose one of their living members to be publicly revealed as Mafia at the start of the following day.

No players may self-target.

The

Town

wins when all Mafia members are dead.
The

Mafia

win when they control 50% of living players, or if a Mafia member is ever the caretaker of the

Red-Horned Dung Beetle

.

@mod once the beetle has a caretaker, can we vote to give it to someone else? Also can we vote to just have them drop it?

No to both questions.

[Something_Smart]

@mod can sentries steal the bug from town?

Not while they are alive. The caretaker, if there is one, has to die for any steal (sentry or mafia) to be successful.

[Something_Smart]

@mod, if Bunno were to operate on Dr. Z tonight, would that get confirmed publically? Iow, if he is telling the truth about being a surgeon, is that verifiable - if he’s not roleblocked?

Success or failure of individual operations are never confirmed. The only thing that will be confirmed is when two successful operations total have taken place.

@mod, I think it’s time PM received a prod, it’s been over 48 hrs now.

@mod, it has been over 48 hr since PM posted, just letting you know <3

Can a player be unblocked or if Herta is actually telling the truth, did he just lose us the game?

Gardener prevents are permanent, if that's what's being asked.

[Something_Smart]

@mod, permablocked also means that we also cannot be ever given the bug either right?

Yes, if someone prevented by a Gardener is voted to receive the bug, then nobody will receive it that day.

[Something_Smart]

@mod, what happens if the bug becomes permanently orphaned?

If I understand this correctly, the question is what happens if no living player is able to be the caretaker of the beetle. Nothing special happens in that case; the mafia will be unable to win by getting the beetle. The beetle does not have to be in town possession for town to win (it can be unclaimed).

[Something_Smart]

@mod, if we execute one scum today and the other one is permablocked from getting the bug, we win right?

No.

Mafia have two wincons: getting the bug and getting parity with town. They win if either is achieved.

[Something_Smart]

@mod, I’m confused, how does scum have parity with one scum to two town?

Neither win conditions are achieved in that case, right?

Neither win condition is achieved in that case and the game continues, yes.

Sorry for the confusion; I thought the previous question was asking if town would win instantly.

Mod thread
Dead thread

I'll wait a bit on the scum thread in case they want any redactions.

[Something_Smart]

First I gotta apologize for the awful distribution of roles. Sadly I don't think this test run was very informative on the balance of the setup, because this particular role distribution was quite scumsided, but it's rare for something this lopsided to happen (and even lopsided isn't all bad; it's just the surgeons not being able to heal each other that made this one rough).

[Something_Smart]

The reason I don't like to limit roles like that if I can avoid it is that if you get a setup with the minimum or maximum count of a role then you can end up mechanically confirming people as town or scum. (For instance, if there's 1 Gardener, 3 Sentries, and 3 Surgeons, and scum claim Sentry + Surgeon, then the Gardener claim is confirmed town and it's known there's exactly one scum claiming each of the other two roles.)

I would much prefer to modify the setup so that it's more resilient to extreme scenarios like this one. Maybe that would mean dropping the macho but not allowing surgeons to target someone they've targeted at any previous point in the game?

[Something_Smart]

You,

kittybells

and I all had a 3p hydra named

Radiantalyfarrar3

but we all flaked with that, probably due to burnout because of our consistent high intensity games not so long after the other.

Oh god I remember that game. That game is the mafia equivalent of an embarrassing teenage memory, for me at least
