Newbie 1982 | Cellular Automata

Hello. In this game, I'll be showing off various types of cellular automata. Such as this chaotic knitting pattern. which uses Rule 30, left XOR (center OR right), to produce a chaotic arrangement of triangles and lines.


This game is in

Over

and the PTs will be released in

Rules

Inspired by Equinox's, Glork's and Ether's rulesets.

important bit

• Day 1: up to 10 days, Day 2+ up to 7 days, Night: 48 hours.
  
• Majority lynches
  
• 36 hours before prod, 24 hours before replacement, 24 hour weekends
  
• Bah posts allowed (limit: 1, free of game related content)
  
• I have some unusual rules about animated GIFs, tiny text, and prodging. Scroll down for details.
  
• Don’t be a dick

1. Follow all site rules.
   
   
2. Mod colour
   – My mod colour is
   grey
   ; don't use it.
   
3. Behaviour
   - Don’t be a dick. This is a heated game but toxicity will not be tolerated. Attack the play not the player. If your fellow players tell you to stop, you must stop. If you do not stop, I will tell you to stop. If you still do not stop, you will be force-replaced. Asking people to stop voting you or to stop scumhunting you entirely doesn't count for this rule and you may find yourself lynched if you try it.
   
4. Don't talk about ongoing games
   - You may not talk to each other about this game outside of threads I have created for this purpose. You may not talk about other ongoing games in this thread.
   
5. Animated GIFs
   - are of the devil, but they are permitted behind spoilers if clearly labelled as such.
   
6. Tiny text
   - is also of the devil, keep it 70+ please.
   
7. Provable randomness
   - is against the rules. Saying that you rolled a dice is fine, using dice tags or random.org is not.
   
8. Claiming scum
   - by yourself is fine. Claiming scum with another player is against the rules.
   
9. Cryptography
   - is forbidden. Breadcrumbing is okay.
   
10. Confirmation
    - You have about 72 hours to confirm your role and your alignment by PM. Game will start sooner if everyone confirms. Posting in a private topic counts as confirmation.
    
11. Days
    - Day 1 lasts 10 days and other days last 7 days. Extensions may be granted if there are replacements, or if the majority of players make it clear to me that an extension is desired.
    
12. Activity
    - You must post at least once every 36 hours or I will Prod you. You then have 24 hours to post in the game thread or I will replace you. If you come back before I find a replacement, you can stay. The activity timers run at half-speed on weekends. Players can request me to prod somebody early. This will only count as an official prod if you don't post before you would have been due for a prod. If you haven't posted in the 24 hours before the thread is locked for night, you must reply to the night start PM or you will be replaced during the night.
    
13. Vacation/Limited Access
    If you need to be absent for longer than this, you should declare
    V/LA
    in bold in the thread like this: [
    b]

    @Mod: I will be v/la until Thursday

    [
    /b]. While you are V/LA, you will be nudged once every 54 hours. Two nudges equals one prod. If you have not posted game advancing content in 5 days, regardless of V/LA status, you will be replaced.
    
14. Prodging
    - A naked "prod dodge" does not reset the prod timer. To avoid being prodded/replaced for inactivity, include some game advancing content in your prodges, such as "got prodded; xxxx is still scum."
    
15. Quoting
    - You may not quote (or copy paste) any private information into the thread, including your role PM and any mod communication.
    
16. Voting
    - Votes must be in bold in the format VOTE: Plotinus or
    Vote: Plotinus
    . Strong preference for using vote tags instead of bold tags. Unvotes are nice but not required. If I think it’s a vote, it’s a vote, no tricks. Type [
    v]Plotinus[
    /v] to vote and [
    uv]Plotinus[
    /uv] to unvote.
    
17. Lynching
    - Days end early when a simple majority of players (50% of living players + 1 rounded down) vote to lynch somebody. If a majority is not reached at deadline or if a majority of the players vote for no lynch, the day will end without a lynch. At evens, 50% is sufficient for no lynch.
    
18. Twilight
    - Begins when a majority is reached and lasts until I lock the thread. You're still alive until I flip you so you can talk in any game threads you have access to until then, but no votes or unvotes will be counted.
    
19. Night
    - Night lasts at least 48 hours. The night phase can be shortened if every living player -- even those with no night actions -- agrees to it and if I'm not busy.
    
20. Action submissions
    - You may submit actions via PM (if town) or PT (if scum). If the actions are not submitted by the deadline then you do nothing. You can change your mind as many times as you like before the deadline.
    
21. Reminders
    - If I don't hear from you about your night actions, I'll PM you 24 hours before the deadline. This doesn't count as a prod. If I still don't hear from you, you will take no action.
    
22. Notes PT
    - Let me know if you want a private thread to store your thoughts and feedback for the other players. This thread will be made public immediately after the game. You may draft posts in your notes PT but you may not talk about your notes PT in public. You definitely may not use the notes PT to demonstrate that you've had a town mindset in private all along; just put your town mindset in public to begin with and keep your notes to yourself.
    
23. Play to win
    - this particular game, not some future one, and keep it fun!

Setup Info

Newbie Setup

Newbie Setup

NewD3 (as designed by RadiantCowbells):

	A	B	C
Mafia	Mafia Roleblocker	Mafia Rolecop	Mafia Goon
Row 1	Town Cop and Town Doctor	Town Tracker and Town Friendly Neighbor	Town Cop and Vanilla Townie
Row 2	Town Jailkeeper and Town Tracker	Town Jailkeeper and Town Friendly Neighbor	Town Jailkeeper and Vanilla Townie
Row 3	Town Mason and Town Mason	Town Tracker and Town Doctor	Town Mason and Town Mason

Each Newbie Game will be given a setup that incorporates one mafia role from the top of a column, and then two town roles from a row below the selected mafia role. The remaining six roles will be filled in by

one mafia goon

and

five vanilla townies

appropriately, to create a

2-mafia

and

7-town

setup.

All Newbie games use the Natural Action Resolution system for determining Night action effects.

Mafia Roleblocker

action takes precedence over a

Town Jailkeeper

action should that apply.

Mafia are able to communicate in their Private Topic at all times, and Mafia Power Roles are able to use their role ability and the factional kill in the same night.

Introduction and Tips

Here are some helpful links (a lot of them from our helpful wiki):

Key Concepts and Tips

Activity

Try to check in at least once a day.

Besides the activity requirements listed in the moderator's original post, it's just necessary for a fun and healthy game that everyone

plays

. If you post very rarely, or only post a little bit at a time, you may get scumread for lurking. Even if you are not scumread for it, what's the fun in playing a game where multiple people are hardly participating?

Site Meta

Meta is the description of how people on Mafiascum like to play mafia. Things can be different on other online mafia sites, or if you play IRL, so it's good to know what's expected of you on this site. These aren't "rules", per se, but if you don't follow these guidelines it is likely things will go poorly for you on MS. Some examples are...

Random Voting Stage (RVS)

Games on MafiaScum almost always begin with what we call the Random Voting Stage (RVS). At this point in the game, we are in a low information game state (except the mafia, which know everyone’s alignment). As a way to provoke reaction, start a discussion, and try to determine alignment, people will usually vote for non-serious reasons. As the discussion progresses, we will eventually get the game moving and progress out of RVS.

Voting, L-x, and Hammers

L-x is a way to convey how far away a player is away from a lynch. For example, you should always announce that you are putting someone at L-1 (1 vote away from a lynch) so that someone doesn’t come along and accidentally vote for that players lynch. This also prevents Mafia-aligned players from coming along and placing the final vote to lynch (“hammer”) and claiming ignorance about doing so. You may also see L-2 and L-3 (2 votes away from a lynch and 3 votes away from a lynch, respectively).

Before you hammer a player, state your intent to hammer (usually done in bold) and ask the player to claim their role. This is done to prevent power roles from being lynched, and can sometimes get Mafia-aligned players to be caught (via counter claiming). It's best to then allow other players to react and discuss the claim before hammering.

Claiming Your Role

It is almost always best to not claim your role unless you are at L-1 and have been asked to claim as part of an “intent to hammer.” This is because, as a town power role (“PR”), if you out prematurely, you are likely to be night-killed (“NK’d”). As a Vanilla Townie (“VT”), claiming early helps the mafia team narrow down the setup and possible PR candidates. An exception to this would be if a mafia player claimed your role, claiming early to counter the false claim (“CC”) would out the mafia player, and would be a benefit to the town.

Do not fake claim a power role as town!

While it may help you avoid getting lynched, you might cause a real PR to out themselves by counter claiming - then the mafia will know who the PR is, and you will probably get lynched for lying to town. Feel free to fake a claim as scum, though, if you think it would help.

LyLo

LyLo is the shortened representation of “lynch or lose.” LyLo in the Newbie Queue is when there are 3 remaining players, 2 of which are town and 1 is mafia; or when there are 5 remaining players, 3 of which are town and 2 are mafia. It is important in these situations that the town aligned players do not carelessly vote like is done during RVS or early days, as the mafia player(s) can organize and instantly provide the necessary votes to lynch (“quickhammer”) and win the game.

Conclusion

Mafia is hard!

As town, it can be hard to figure things out, and stressful when people think you're scum.

That's okay!

Just share your thoughts on who you think is scum as they come to you, and don't be afraid to change your mind. As scum, it can be hard to lie convincingly, and stressful when people think you're scum. Don't let that scare you! Try to think of what you would post if you were town, and don't be afraid to "change your mind".

This is a game.

Have fun!

Spoiler: animated GIF of gliders in conway's game of life

The most famous cellular automaton is Conway's Game of Life. It's a way to study how complex systems can arise from very simple rules. You have a grid of cells and there are rules for how the cells will change from one generation to the next: if it has too many neighbours it dies (turns white), if it has too few neighbours, it dies. If it has 2 or 3 neighbours, it turns black.

Please take a moment to familiarise yourself with my ruleset because I have some rules you may not have encountered in other games before regarding animated gifs, tiny text, prodging and perhaps some other things.[/area]

[Plotinus]

Official Vote Count 1.01

The elementary cellular automata are even more simple than Conway's Game of Life. Instead of examining a 2D grid, there is just a 1D line of black and white cells. A cell's future state depends on its own state and the state of its left and right neighbour, according to some rules. There are 256 possible rules, but many of them are mirror images of each other, so there are only 88 unique rulesets. The rules can be expressed as binary 8 digit numbers. Each possible current configuration is written in order, 111, 110, ..., 001, 000, and the resulting state for each of these configurations is written in the same order and interpreted as the binary representation of an integer. For example Rule 30 is 00011110.

In spite of how simple the rules are, some of rulesets produce such chaotic results that you can use them as a pseudorandom number generator.

Rule 232

The elementary cellular automata are classified into four classes. The first class rapidly converges into a uniform state. Rule 232 is the most interesting of these; the others are like "the output is all white no matter what the inputs are," or a few that don't take very long to get to that state.

Rule 110

Class 4 form areas of repetitive or stable states, but also form structures that interact with each other in complicated ways. For example, Rule 110 is capable of universal computation. You could, in theory, program your favourite video game in Rule 110. (In practice it would take a really long time to make it work.)

Cellular automata don't have to be black and white. You can make more complicated rules that cycle through a few different colours via Stephen Wolfram.

In Cellular Automata, the term Garden of Eden refers to a configuration that can only be a starting configuration - no amount of following the rules for that particular cellular automata would ever result in that configuration, not even if you had infinite time. This image is a Garden of Eden that was discovered in 1991. Since then, there have been more of them found, including some smaller ones. The smallest on this web page is 9x9, but

that webpage can't have been updated this millenium.

I lied, it was last updated 2017, in spite of the geocities aesthetic!

It is only majority. The day will end when there are 5 votes on one person, or with a no lynch if the countdown expires before that happens.

Day 1 Lynch - TrueSoulEnergy

TrueSoulEnergy has been lynched day 1. They were a

mafia rolecop.

It is now Night 1. Deadline for night actions is (expired on 2020-02-09 08:45:00). Everybody has posted in the last 24 hours, so nobody is in danger of being replaced during the night. We can do a short night if all 8 living players agree to it. If anybody says no, or if I don't hear from everyone, then the night will end when the countdown expires.

This is a Rule 73 cellular automata that I'm making in N. 10 cotton thread with a 1.5mm steel crochet hook. It is 75 stitches in circumference and 9cm tall. It will be a pencase so I'm going to make it another 7 or 8 cm tall. It's just hitting the interesting bit, where the triangle on the left meets the triangle on the right. rule 73, when started from a single green cell, winds up creating these regular 4 stitch wide patterns, but 75 isn't divisible by 4, so i'm really interested in what will happen over the next few rows at this one spot in the back.

Day 2 Lynch - volxen

---

volxen has been lynched day 2. He was a

mafia goon.

The

town

consisting of

Luca Blight, town tracker, George Bailey, town friendly neighbour

, and the

vanilla townies: chazary, bugspray, DkKoba, TheLordOfKittens, JacksonVirgo, Aloratom, Chuck Shurley

have won the game! Congratulations on your perfect win!

If we hadn't been in Row 1, volxen's gambit may have outed a PR, which would have helped scum considerably. Since we were in row 1, both George and Luca knew that a jailkeeper was possible, but when a rolecop flipped, Luca knew it was a lie, so the game was lost for scum already when the rolecop was lynched. volxen claiming to have jailkept George was unlucky, because chazary knew that George's message went through and that he couldn't have been jailkept.

Good job, everyone!

I've been keeping track lately of whether the person who is due for prod next is town or scum. They are usually slightly more likely to be town than random (random being 2/9 on day 1, not 50:50!), and this game was no exception. Lurking doesn't seem to be a scumtell all by itself, though of course with certain individual players, it can be.

Day 1: 15/18 town 3/18 scum
Day 2: 1/1 town

This thread is now open for postgame discussion. You can post here even if you were dead and even if you didn't play.
