This game is based on SpyreX's old Pick Your Power series of games from many years ago.
Game-Specific MechanicsThis setup is an open setup. There are 4 mafia members and 14 town members. Each player receives 100 points that they may spend however they choose amongst 30 different 1-shot roles. Whoever spends the most points on each role will receive that role.
In case of a tie for the highest amount spent, no one will receive that role.


After signups are complete, players will be sent their alignment.
After
they are sent alignment, players will have 48 hours to choose how they spend their points. The mafia private topic will be open during this time so that the mafia can discuss and coordinate. Players should send their draft PMs in the following format:
Example PM wrote: Gunsmith: 45
Tracker A: 20
Tracker B: 30
Ninja: 5
If the numbers don't add up to 100, I'll ask you to re-send it. You must spend all 100 points.
Mafia may
not
both kill and use another ability in the same night. Mafia will have daytalk (as will neighborhoods).



Spoiler: The Roles
1-Shot CopTarget another player. If successful, you will be told their alignment.


1-Shot GunsmithTarget another player. If successful, you will be told whether or not they carry a gun.

1-Shot Friendly NeighborTarget another player. If successful, they will be told that you are a friendly neighbor, and they will be told your alignment.

1-Shot Power VigilanteTarget another player and a role. If successful and that player has that role, you will kill them.

1-Shot Day VigilanteDuring the day, you may PM me privately or post
Kill: player
publicly in the thread to kill a player.


1-Shot Roleblocker ATarget another player. If successful, that player's action will fail.


1-Shot Roleblocker BTarget another player. If successful, that player's action will fail.


1-Shot Double RoleblockerTarget two other players. If successful, both of their actions will fail.


1-Shot Role-specific blockerTarget a role. If successful, any player who won any copy of that role in the auction will be blocked.


1-Shot StrongmanThis ability may be used only in conjunction with the mafia kill; if so, the kill will ignore all blocking roles and protective roles.


1-Shot NinjaThis ability may be used only in conjunction with the mafia kill; if so, the kill will ignore all Trackers, Watchers and Followers.


1-Shot Double Neighborizer ATarget two other players. If successful, you will gain a neighborhood with both of those players that you may post in at all times.


1-Shot Double Neighborizer BTarget two other players. If successful, you will gain a neighborhood with both of those players that you may post in at all times.


1-Shot Double Neighborizer CTarget two other players. If successful, you will gain a neighborhood with both of those players that you may post in at all times.


1-Shot EchoTarget another player. If successful, you will gain a 1-shot copy of the ability they used on that night, excluding the mafia kill.




Spoiler: Clarifications on certain roles
Any role that would receive a result and the double neighborizers will be explicitly informed if their abilities fail. The echo will be told that they didn't receive any ability (which they will also be told if they target someone who did not use anything). No other roles are informed.

Gunsmith: will return positive on mafia, vanilla vig, power vig, paranoid vig, dayvig, or an echo who has copied any of those abilities (it will resolve after the echo).

Follower: will learn whatever was used,
including
the mafia kill. If that player made a ninja kill that night, they will be told the player did not use an ability.

Power Doctor/Power Vigilante: these roles do not need to specify
which
copy of a role was won (so you can target implosion and Tracker, rather than implosion and Tracker B).

Ninja/Strongman: if the same mafia member possesses both of these, they may be used in conjunction on one kill.

Echo: can copy anything except for the mafia kill, strongman and ninja. They will copy the action their target took even if that action fails.


Additionally,
Please avoid discussion of the setup in this thread.


WOTC will also be in effect, set at 3 (if 3 people PM me asking to remove someone from the player list that they refuse to play with, I will remove them).

And I can't even go to the grocery store
Without some ones thats clean and a shirt with a team
It seems we living the american dream
But the people highest up got the lowest self esteem
The prettiest people do the ugliest things
For the road to riches and diamond rings
We shine because they hate us, floss cause they degrade us
We trying to buy back our 40 acres
