One and Done! (inspired by a Hanasawa Skype game, critiqued by LlamaFluff, Faraday, BBmolla, and KittyMo)

Basic premise:

All players have a one-shot PR. Scum get an advantage in selecting the first role and the member of the team to receive it and in influencing which of the eleven are left out of the game via eliminating one. The remaining players are then randomly assigned one role each from the remaining pool of nine, with the last unused role discarded.

Scum killing mechanic:

Scum get access to one-shot {kill, poison, treestump, arson, PGO} for killing purposes. Only one used per night. Theoretically the arsenal would refill if all the methods were consumed over the course of the game.

Kill is straightforward.

Poison is exactly one night delayed; target is not informed.

Treestump lets the person keep posting but no longer voting or using an unspent PR shot.

Arsonist is minimum one-day-night cycle delayed. Once primed, any surviving Mafia can ignite him at any time, day or night.

PGO is one-shot. Scum arming himself takes the place of a killing action that night and is used starting that night on the first person to target him for the rest of the game.

List of available one-shot PRs:

roleblocker, JK (protects against kill, arson), doctor (protects against kill, poison), paramedic (protects against poison, arson), tracker, self-watcher, neighborizer, commuter, gladiator, hider, back-up

Role PMs:

Seven players will receive this role PM:

Welcome, X! You are Town One-Shot ?

Day Power:

You may post in the game thread and vote for whomever you want lynched

Night Power:

Once per game, you may use your one-shot power as follows:

[this role PM will be amended following Mafia role choices]

You win with the town when both Mafia are dead and at least one town-aligned player is alive.

Two players will receive this role PM:

Welcome, X! You are a Mafia Goon with your partner, Y, Mafia Goon, and you have the following one-shot non-killing powers available to you:

Goon X: TBD

Goon Y: TBD

You also know that the One-Shot TBD is not in the game.

Day Power:

You may post in the game thread and vote for whomever you want lynched

Night Power:

You may communicate in this QT at night and during pre-game.

You and your partner will each have a one-shot PR. You may send in an attack and use the power on the same night. The two powers will be described above in the final role PM.

You and your partner may make one attack per night. You may choose from the following list each night without replacement:

Kill: Shoots one Town player at night, resulting in their death before the next day begins.

Poison: Poisons one Town player at night, resulting in their death at the end of the next night phase.

Arson: Primes one Town player at night. If this power is used on Night X, the player may be ignited as soon as the end of Night X + 1 by any living Mafia member.

Treestump: This attack renders the target unable to vote or use any remaining powers for the rest of the game. They may still post in-thread and will have their role and alignment flipped as normal.

PGO: In lieu of attacking another player, this allows a Mafia member to arm himself with a one-shot PGO. It will remain activated for the remainder of the game unless that player is targeted by an action at night, at which point the first person to target the PGO based on NAR will die.

If you use all five attacks during the game, on the next night the supply will refill.

You win with the Mafia when all town players are dead or nothing can prevent that from happening and at least one Mafia member is still alive.

You and your partner need to pick from the following list of one-shot powers: roleblocker, JK (protects against kill, arson), doctor (protects against kill, poison), paramedic (protects against poison, arson), tracker, self-watcher, neighborizer, commuter, gladiator, hider, universal back-up

Explanations of these powers are in the OP.

Once you have selected your one-shot and decided which of you will receive it, you must select a second one-shot power that will not be included on the list of powers distributed to town.

Spoiler: All One-Shot Roles

Roleblocker: Once during the game at night, you may PM me the name of another player to roleblock. That player will have any night actions fail.

Jailkeeper: Once during the game at night, you may PM me the name of another player to jailkeep. That player will have any night actions fail and will be rendered immune to the Mafia one-shot kill and one-shot arson for that night.

Doctor: Once during the game at night, you may PM me the name of another player to doctor. That player will be rendered immune to the Mafia one-shot kill and one-shot poison for that night.

Paramedic: Once during the game at night, you may PM me the name of another player to treat. That player will be rendered immune to the Mafia one-shot poison and one-shot arson for that night.

Tracker: Once during the game at night, you may PM me the name of another player to track. You will be told who that player visited, and your result will either be (a) player name(s), none, or no result.

Self-Watcher: Once during the game at night, you may choose to activate your self-watcher ability. You will be told who visited you that night, and your result will either be (a) player name(s), none, or no result.

Neighborizer: Once during the game at night, you may PM me the name of another player to neighborize. If successful, you and that player will be given a QT where you may communicate privately at night.

Commuter: Once during the game at night, you may PM me to activate your commuter ability. You will be rendered immune to all night actions and will be considered absent for the purposes of any targeted roles.

Gladiator: Once during the game during the first half of the day, you may PM me the name of another player to challenge. You and that player will become the only lynchable players for that day.

Hider: Once during the game at night, you may PM me the name of another player to hide behind. Any actions that target that player will also target you, but you will be immune to any actions directed at you. If you choose to hide behind Mafia, you will die.

Universal Back-Up: You will receive the role of the first player to die and will be given an explanation of the ability when your back-up status activates.

RULES (inspired by the rule sets of Faraday, Maestro, and Nexus):

General Behavioral Expectations:
• All site-wide rules are to be followed. They can be found here. Rules here are also in effect. Important points are:
o Personal attacks on any basis are prohibited. Excessive vulgarity will also be stomped upon. When in doubt, err on the side of being civil and respectful.
o Play to your win condition.

Game Play, Voting, Lynching, and Night Actions:
• Do not quote mod communications anywhere in the thread.

This is my bolded color

so do not use it for any purposes, particularly impersonating me.
• When placing a vote, it is not necessary to unvote first or to put your vote on a new line. However, it would be appreciated if you submitted votes in bold like this:

VOTE: penguin_alien

or like this: VOTE: penguin_alien. I will accept votes so long as I can tell the intended target from the abbreviation used.
• Lynches (or decisions to no-lynch) require a majority of votes.
• Discussion may continue in twilight.
• Once you are killed, do not post in the game thread. This includes ‘Bah!’ posts.
• Night actions may be PMed to me or posted in bold in the appropriate QTs. If you know you will be V/LA during the night phase, you may send in a conditional night action in advance.

Activity Parameters and Mod Communication:
• Prods will be sent out by PM to players who have not posted within the past 48 hours. Players receiving prods have 24 hours to post before I will start looking for a replacement. If the day ends before you can respond in-thread, you must PM me within the allotted time.
• Three prods in one game day phase or four prods overall will result in my replacing you.
• Day phases will last two weeks. Night phases will last two days.
• While you are welcome to post about any issues that arise in the thread (use bold to get my attention, please) you may also PM me concerning any problems. Use your best judgment here, and I will endeavor to do the same. This also applies to issues with me/my modding or other players.
• If you go on V/LA, please PM me.
• Alterations to these rules will be announced in-thread and PMed to all players in the event they become necessary either due to unforeseen circumstances or my own oversights.

Miscellaneous or Game-Specific Topics:
•

HYDRAs:

Please do your utmost to avoid alt slips. If you do mispost, please quote the post as the hydra account ASAP.

Violations of these rules will result in a warning for a first offense and a potential forced-replacement or modkill for subsequent offenses. I reserve the right to skip the warning for particularly willful or egregious violations.

[penguin_alien]

Role PMs will be sent out shortly.

When all of them have been sent, I'll edit this post with a 48 hour countdown as the time Mafia have to make their initial choices.

Role PMs have been sent. Mafia have (expired on 2014-01-31 23:48:38) remaining to make their choices, at which point final role PMs will be sent to everyone.

Please PM me with any questions. Thanks!

[penguin_alien]

Final Role PMs have been sent.

The game will start when I receive 7/9 confirmations by PM.

The game will begin momentarily...

[penguin_alien]

Opening Flavor:

Nine tennis champions, nine trophies. It's a convention of one-slam wonders! But some of them aren't content with a single Grand Slam title, and if they can't get the hardware on the court, they're not above a little larceny...or even murder. It would seem two of our singles victors have formed their own doubles team...it's a whole new game!

Day One begins now!

Temporarily locking thread. Deadline will be adjusted accordingly.

[penguin_alien]

Double-checked the rule, since this hasn't come up in my games IIRC.

DO NOT discuss or in any way reference ongoing games. This is the only warning anyone in this game will get; next instance will involve direct action from me depending on the circumstances.

If anyone has concerns, please let me know privately; I'm checking with the listmod to ensure nothing further is merited in this instance.

Since this has been < 5 minutes, deadline will remain as-is.

Proceed.

[penguin_alien]

OK, apologies for the modly indecision here, but I'm locking the thread pending listmod input. Lost time will be restored to the deadline.

[penguin_alien]

Posting may proceed. Time has been added to the deadline from VC 1.04 on to compensate for the thread being locked. Prod timers will reset staring now.

Day One Lynch Flavor:

Racquets swinging wildly, the crowd converges on Zekrom25 and his silver gilt cup. Pat Cash incarnate (1987 Wimbledon Gentlemen's Singles Champion) attempts to flee across the grassy court. Almost free and clear, he trips over Ivan Lendl's outstretched foot. Lendl never cracks a smile as the mob tears the other player apart.

But they find no evidence of any sinister plots on his part to abscond with anyone else's trophies! Sadly they place the slightly dented cup in a conveniently placed trophy case and retire to consider their failure.

Zekrom25,

Town One-Shot Self-Watcher

, was lynched Day One!

Night begins now. Any night actions must be sent in within (expired on 2014-02-11 15:45:03)

[penguin_alien]

As a heads-up, I'm not going to be around to start the day phase when deadline hits, so day opening will likely be delayed by 6-8 hours. Any actions are still due before the existing deadline.

Thanks for your patience!

[penguin_alien]

Night One Flavor:

Upon returning to the court, only tennis balls litter the grass...it would seem everyone has kept a tight grip on their trophies overnight.

No one has died Night One!

It depends on how the mod does NAR.

@Mod, does a tracker targeting a hider get a positive result or no result in this setup?

If a player is targeted by an investigative role while not targetable, a 'no result' is returned.

Day Two Lynch Flavor:

BoroPhil is minding his own business when the eyes of the crowd focus on him with murderous intent. Yannick Noah incarnate (1983 French Open Men's Singles Champion) holds his Coupe does Mousquetaires in front of him like a talisman. But out of nowhere, Mats Wilander shoves him forward into the nonexistent mercy of his fellow one-Slam wonders. The carnage continues...

...and yet bears no fruit. Still no closer to finding the conspirators, and without any lights on the court, further investigation must wait until dawn.

BoroPhil,

Town One-Shot Tracker

, was lynched Day Two!

Night begins now. Any night actions must be sent in within (expired on 2014-02-21 13:35:21)

[penguin_alien]

Night Two Flavor:

Dawn arrives at Roland Garros, but someone isn't going to see it. Mixed in with the red clay of the court is the blood of another one-slam wonder: Naio is no more. Michael Chang incarnate (1989 Men's Singles French Open Champion) may have tasted victory here once, but someone got the better of him last night...it would seem Stefan Edburg has gotten the last laugh.

Naio,

Town One-Shot Neighborizer

, has died Night Two!

[penguin_alien]

Flavor:

No sooner had the former champions convened on the court, blood from Naio's murder still faintly staining the clay, than two of their number collapsed with no warning. JasonWazza and Malakittens, representing Andy Roddick incarnate (2003 US Open Men's Singles Champion) and Chris O'Neil incarnate (1978 Australian Open Women's Singles Champion) respectively, spontaneously combusted. All that remains is their hard-won trophies...

...which Cabd and FuDuzn, Andres Gomez incarnate (1990 French Open Men's Singles Champion) and Goran Ivanisevic incarnate (2001 Wimbledon Gentlemen's Singles Champion) respectively, swoop in to claim! Hardware in hand, they waste no time in dispatching T S O and Bulbazak, Thomas Johansson incarnate (2002 Australian Open Men's Champion) and Michael Stich incarnate (1991 Wimbledon Gentleman's Singles Champion). It would seem some of our singles champions don't mind playing doubles when the opportunity presents itself. Laden down with their new trophies and abandoning the bodies of their fellow champions, the scoundrels are off to raid more trophy cases!

Mod thoughts:

Off the top, I definitely appreciate any and all feedback. I would definitely axe Hider for any future iterations of this set-up, and I'm not sure about including arson at all. The extended delay was intended to make it a scum kill with more flexibility, but there's minimal incentive not to activate it as soon as possible as it currently stands. Allowing the priming to spread should the target use an action on another player on a subsequent night might change things, or it might make the game even more swingy.

Thanks to everyone for playing--I think this is my first modded game with zero replacements, which is always a delight to see. I hope people had some fun, and I apologize for the lackluster flavor--I couldn't decide between basketball and this...
