Before we begin, a few ground rules.

Boring and Long Rules List

Nope. Didn’t steal these from anybody.

MafiaScum rules.
Follow them. They take precedence over these.
Mod communication.
Don't quote it, especially private ones. That means role PMs.
Private communication.
Only use the threads I provide. Don't PM other players, use other PTs for talking about this game, or use any other medium to communicate about the game to other players. I'm fine if you mention the votecount in-thread.
Games.
You're playing this one. Play to win it.
Cryptography.
I don't like it. Don't hash your posts or use a Caesarean cypher or anything like that.
Small text.
Don't use it. Anything smaller than the Small size will get bumped up in size, except for tags.
Games of chance.
While this setup is based on rolling dice, keep in mind that provable RNG is still prohibited.
And yes, you may claim that you rolled whatever you like, as long as it does not quote mod communication, as nobody can verify that you rolled something you claim you did.
The L-Word.
Don't use it.
Pronouns.
Respect them, please. If your pronouns are being disrespected and you don't like it PM me and I'll mention them in the next votecount.
My mod color is
#0FBF15, bold.
You may use colors similar to it, however, using the color itself isn't neat.
My flavor color
is
#888888, italicized
. This will denote information that is not necessary to read to play the game, but will improve your immersion should you read it.
After death
you are permitted one contentless bah post. Posting content in a bah post, making multiple bah posts, or bahposting in PTs will get you warned and the bah censored.
Any questions?
Ask. Please use PMs, though — that guarantees that I see it and that any potentially sensitive information is kept sensitive.

Ballot Counting

VOTE: Cook
or VOTE: Cook to cast. UNVOTE: or
UNVOTE:
without a name on the inside is fine, same with including the vote name. You may use nicknames or shortenings, so long as it's clear who you're referring to
If I think it counts, it counts.
If I can't tell who you're referring to, it won't.
Hammer by simple majority.
Once majority is reached, no new or changed votes will be permitted.
You may cast a vote for no-hammer.

Simple majority
(more than 50% of votes are for it) rules.

Deadlines and Timing

I'm experimenting with something unusual. Nights will always last 2 days. The day phase is 10 days long, but decreases by 12 hours for each player that's died. Therefore, the smaller the game, the faster the deadline.
Once a hammer vote has been cast, we enter a phase of Twilight, in which you may continue posting until the flip happens.
Any posts made post-flip will be redacted.
Unusual to me, even if I am watching the thread when hammer occurs, twilight is guaranteed to last one hour.
Days will end faster if a hammer happens.
Nights will end faster if all players vote to nightskip.

Prods, Replacements, and Activity

Prods will be issued every 72 hours without game-advancing content. Even something as simple as "Cook is scum" or "Let's vote Cook" counts as advancing content.
If you are prodded, you have 24 hours to respond or I will search for a replacement.
If you are prodded 3 times throughout the game, I'll search for a replacement.
If you are on V/LA, instead, I will poke you every 72 hours. Two pokes is a prod.

Cook · Post Post #2 (isolation #2) » Sat Oct 09, 2021 4:32 am

The Setup

Everyone will get the same role PM:
3d20
.
Please confirm by rolling 3d20 dice using the dice tags.
After you've sent in your 3d20 dice you are permitted
one fudge die
. Tell me what roll you want to fudge and what direction (add fudge die, subtract fudge die) you want to apply the fudge to. Your fudge die is
1d4
.
If you go over 20 or under 1 the die wraps around.
If you roll/fudge to a result that requires additional rolls,
I will make that roll.
If there are two or more Masonries which are only single-member I will merge them together. This change will be reflected in role PMs. By being part of a merged masonry you are only guaranteed to not be part of the group which your original masonry was working against.

ex. if I merge
Alice
the Mason and
Bob
the Atheist into a single Mason-Atheist PT,
Alice
is guaranteed to
Bob
to not be a Mafia member, and
Bob
is guaranteed to
Alice
to not be Cult, and, in addition, to
never
be Cult (is immune to culting.)
The only other change I will make is fudging all Cult rolls that come after the first Cult roll to 3p. As a result, if you roll Cult but don't get it, you know there's a Cult!

Role PM

3d20

Your role and alignment are variable and will be decided shortly based on your rolls.

Please confirm by replying with

Code: Select all

[dice]3d20[/dice]

.

Spoiler: First Die - Alignment

Spoiler: Second Die - Role

Spoiler: Third Die - Modifier

Pregame

Aliens are given a bonus role in their PT.
All 3p players will also be given a bonus role PM. They may choose to pick either role to confirm as.

For up to one prod timer's length at the start of the game all Aliens may choose to shuffle around and redistribute their roles as they see fit, including the unused role. These will lock at the end of that timer.

Example:

dice tags removed because previewing sucks

3d20 - I rolled a 17, 4, and 12. Alien Mason-type Activated
For the Mason-Type roll, Mod rolls a 20, which is 3P, so Neighborhood Watch.

Meaning the (unflavored) role PM is as follows:

Alien Activated Neighborhood Watch

- You are a member of the Aliens, a group of evil villagers who want to kill off the rest of the Town.
- Your Alien PT is

here.

- As a member of the Aliens, you share a night-kill, which you may opt to execute. As a faction, you may only do the nightkill

X

amount of times.
- During the day you may PM the mod to join the Neighborhood Watch PT the night following, a secret group of players who are all guaranteed to not be Third-Parties.

Clarifications

This list will get updated as questions get posed, but a few off the top of my head:

Jester does
not
end the game if eliminated.
Cultings resolve after kills. If you die and are culted in the same night you will retain your original alignment.
Cult Leader is the only member of the Cult capable of performing the recruitment. If the Cult Leader dies the Cult will remain alive but powerless. Culting does not vanillaize.
Town and 3p members are always able to be culted. Groupscum are able to be culted if there are no other members of their team left alive. Atheists (Mason-type who know they aren't Cult) cannot be culted.
Neighborizers each have their own neighborhoods.
Parity Cop's unmodified ability is "At night you may send me the name of a player. Assuming no interference with your action, you will learn if your target's alignment matches your previous target's."
Cultings resolve before investigations. If you investigate someone the night they are culted you will see them as Cult.

Fourteen people gather for Sun Up In New Jersey. This is suspiciously more than there were last night. Some of these people do not belong here. Unfortunately you all look the same.

There is a gaping maw to what appears to be the Shadow Realm in the middle of the gathering ground.

Anonymous Spectator

confirms this theory when they fall in and promptly are banished to the Shadow Realm.

A sign pops out of the pit. "Seven."

You ponder what this could mean. You decide it means how many is a majority, and proceed with the day.

This setup is precisely as it was advertised. There are no hidden bastard elements, additions of players except for genuine replacements, or any mod-made alterations to the setup that were not directly advertised (for example, I would remove modifiers that were redundant or would not make sense on the role they were modifying {a Reflexive Mason doesn't work, and Even Night Odd Night Cop is just a regular Cop}, or if multiple people rolled Cult I took the first roll and then made everyone else 3P.) If single-member Masonries existed I merged them, maintaining their same guarantees, as outlined in the OP.

Cook · Post Post #49 (isolation #11) » Fri Oct 15, 2021 1:01 pm

Cult cannot kill on its own. The Cult Leader is its only member at the start. The Cult Leader can target someone each night to attempt to convert them to the Cult, retaining their original powers but changing their alignment to Cult. Town and 3P can be culted. Mafia, Werewolves, and Aliens will resist the attempt, unless they are the only member of their team left.

There was an error in the resolution of night one. I apologize for not clarifying/resolving this earlier. To answer a question about action resolution, I am using a homebrew set for resolution. As a general rule, blocks/drives resolve first, followed by protections, kills, cults, and checks.

Death prevents a culting from succeeding on either side. PGOs cannot be roleblocked as their action (attacking visitors) is passive. Bus Drivers can be killed by PGOs.

To also answer a question about Jailkeepers cross-protecting, as with any roleblockers cross-targeting, both are mutually roleblocked. Neither are healed, because doing so would require that the action succeeded (which it did not). This also means both are unable to perform any other actions because, as stated above, they are roleblocked.

The agents, with a coordinated motion Unlike Any Other Seen On TV, charge into the infinite IKEA.

They wander the endless aisles, deftly evading the monstrous husks who generate from this otherworldly retail plane, in tireless pursuit of the Arch-Employee, who adopted the guise of a Jerseyite draconine activist. It seems the Arch-Employee's skills at stalking other beings has lended well to this cat-and-mouse game. But, in this Swedish surrealist painting of a nightmare, who is the cat and who is the mouse?

An announcement crackles over the PA, first in an archaic and demonic dialect of Swedish that sounds like someone put the Chef through a blender, and then in a familiar tongue to the interlopers.

"Ah, friends! My guise seems to have dissolved for you. You've discovered who I truly am, have you not? But you have yet to find me, and will never find me in this, the endless labyrinth that I call my domain!"
