The Deck of Astral Roles II: XU - Signup Thread [17/17]

The Deck of Astral Roles II: Expanded Universe


Modded by TemporalLich, backup modded by Cook


Flavor Preview
Eloquent Rise


Setup InfoThe Deck of Astral Roles is a setup where everyone gets three cards from the Deck of Astral Roles thread from post #0 to post #999. The Deck of Astral Roles is played Greatest Idea style, meaning you pick one card for your alignment, one card for your role, and one card to publically discard.

The game will be picked Micc-style. That is, everyone will need to pick cards for three different games, and the moderator will pick the most balanced out of the three games and informs the players of the chosen game.

Duplicates will not be rerolled.

The setup is guaranteed to contain at least 2 players aligned with one scumteam and a Town majority (at least 9 Townies). If it does not for any of the three games, the setup will be picked from a mash of all three games and the moderator will state this.

Hydras are allowed, however it is strongly recommended that they ask the moderator for a hydra PT or hydra Discord Server.

This game is bastard. Expect anything and everything. This game is as balanced as liquid helium is hot (as liquid helium is known for being extremely cold, this game is extremely not balanced).


Spoiler: Rule Set (mech tags will be spoilers instead)
Rules

(Adapted from northsidegal with some edits)


General

-Adhere to all site rules.
-Always play to win.
-Remember that this is a game - heated discussion is allowed, but personal attacks are not.
-Pretending to break the rules will be treated similarly as actually breaking the rules.
-Do not quote any out of game communication regarding this game - this includes but is not limited to your role PM, any PTs you have access to, and any other PMs I may send you.
-If you need to get my attention, please include "
@mod
" in your post or PM me.
-
This
(#0080FF) is my mod color. You can use it, if you want.
-
This
(#80FF00) is my mod color in PTs. You can use it, if you want.
-Do not use encryption, hidden text or excessively small text in your posts.
-Do not use any form of provable randomness. This includes dice tags, screenshots of random.org, etc. Saying you flipped a coin is okay, providing some sort of proof that you did isn’t.
-Day 1 will last for 14 days and all further days will last for 10 days, with night phases lasting 48 hours.
-Everyone can agree to a Fast Night to end the night earlier.
-Do not post in the game thread or any private topics following your death, with the exception of the dead thread. You may post a single contentless "Bah!" post however.
-If you have the ability to edit your posts, do not do so.
-My decisions are final. If I feel you are violating any of the rules, I will take the appropriate action.
-Speculating about why people replaced out is considered angleshooting and is discouraged.
-Try to spoiler animated GIFs and videos. Using images or videos as "serious" content is discouraged.
-Do not use the L-word. Alternatives include eliminate, exile, and execute. See this post for the mafiascum mod team's stance on the L-word.
-As an extension to the previous rule, the terms LyLo and MyLo are discouraged. Alternatives include ELo/MeLo and LiLo/MiLo.
-As a general principle, whenever moderator action is required I will attempt to make the decision that has the least impact on the natural flow of gameplay. For example, force replacing instead of modkilling whenever possible.
-Have fun!

Voting

-All votes and unvotes must be in
bold
or in VOTE: vote tags, with vote tags being preferable.
-Votes in spoilers and quotes will not be counted.
-Abbreviations and nicknames are acceptable, as long as I can understand them.
-Exiles will occur when a majority (>50%) is reached. If no majority is reached before deadline, the day will end in a no elimination.
-Voting to end the day in a no-exile requires only 50% of players, not >50%.
-Once a hammer has occurred, the game is in "twilight". Discussion may continue until I lock the thread but no further votes or unvotes will be counted.

Activity

-You are expected to make at least one game-relevant post every 40 hours. Players who go 40 hours without posting will be prodded.
-If you are prodded, you have 24 hours to post in-thread. If you do not respond within 24 hours, you will be replaced. Additionally, if I have to prod you 3 or more times, you will be replaced at my own discretion.
-Abuse of prod dodges will result in you being replaced at my own discretion.
-If you are going to be V/LA, please announce it in thread or PM me. If your V/LA will last 7 days or longer I may be forced to replace you. You may declare periodic V/LA (e.g. weekend V/LA).
-If you do not send me an action for the night, I will assume that you are not taking one.

Game Notes

-This is a Deck of Astral Roles game using the Expanded Universe. All cards come from post #0-#999 on that thread. Some of these cards may pull from outside the Deck of Astral Roles.
-Everyone receives three cards; one for alignment, one for role, and the other to publically discard.
-Aliens not only receive a 1-shot factional kill, but also a 1-shot "alien tech" factional invention.
-Cult picks a Cult Leader during pregame. The Cult Leader will flip as such and adds to the existing role. The Cult Leader may not recruit more than 25% of the playerlist at one time, that means Cult Leaders may not attempt to recruit if at least 3 Cultists are alive.
-All Private Topics have daytalk enabled, unless a specific role overrides this.
-You may request a personal PT/notes PT. Discord Servers may be requested in lieu of personal PTs/notes PTs/hydra PTs. Discord Servers may not be requested in lieu of game PTs.
-Scum know each other's roles and may submit actions via PT.
-Everyone has inherent multitasking, unless a specific role overrides this. (they may use a personal and a factional action. Using multiple personal actions requires the Multitasking modifier)
-Scumteams are informed fully, they know each other's roles and may submit actions via PT.
-The game be picked Micc-style. That is, everyone needs to pick cards for three different games, and the moderator picks the most balanced out of the three games and informs the players of the chosen game.
-The setup is guaranteed to contain at least 2 players aligned with one scumteam and a Town majority (at least 9 Townies). If it does not for any of the three games, the setup will be picked from a mash of all three games and the moderator will state this.
-Duplicates are not rerolled.
-Groupscum with alive partners can't have their alignment changed by default. Alignment changes will fail by default if either the target or performer die that Night.

When you say we pick cards for three different games does it mean U-Pick style, or are you gonna send us three rands from which to pick one alignment and role for each of the rabds?

I will send you three rands where you have to pick an alignment and a role from each of the three rands.

The rands will be called something like
Game A
,
Game B
, and
Game C
.

the way i understand the 3 rands is we pick role/alignment for 3 different games, and the most balanced game is selected?

yes

the mash thing is a fail-safe that only happens in the event that all games fail the guaranteed alignment structure (if there isn't an actual scumteam which would make the game Not Mafia, or if scum (groupscum, and 3Ps that can't win with Town) outnumber Town which would make the game very distant from Mafia)

Should I outright require a Town majority so that a setup filled with mostly benign 3Ps is not a valid setup?

The setup is guaranteed to contain at least 2 players aligned with one scumteam and more Town than scum.

if people want majority instead it will instead be "The setup is guaranteed to contain at least 2 players aligned with one scumteam and a Town majority (at least 9 Townies)."

I wonder what the odds that any of my Jake-Pick will be rolled

Of course, the odds that it gets licked is 0%, seeing as that is unsanitary.
