The Rules:

1. All site rules apply.
2. Be nice. Mafia games can get heated but remember never to attack the person.
3. Play to your wincon.
4. Days are approximately 14 days long, nights are approximately 48 hours long. Extensions may be given the circumstances warrant it.
5. Failure to post at least once every 48 hours will result in a prod. If you do not pick up your prod in 24 hours, or if I have to prod you a fourth time, I will look for a replacement.
6. If you have a question for me, put it in bold and say

@Mod

or

@Something_Smart

. If it's not something you want made public, feel free to shoot me a PM.
7.

This lovely shade of yellow (#FFBF00) is the mod color.

Do not use it. Do not impersonate me.
8. Do not discuss this game in any other thread except in PTs created specifically for this game. Do not discuss any other ongoing game in this thread.
9. Do not quote any out-of-thread communications with me or with any other player.
10. The day after you are lynched or nightkilled, you may make one "bah!" post with no game-related information in it.
11. Do not pretend to break any of these rules. Pretending to break a rule is punishable just as harshly as actually breaking it.
12. My word is law. Just because it is not stated here does not mean that it is acceptable. I am generally a nice person and will give you a warning if you do something I don't approve of, but it's always better to ask than risk the consequences (see rule 6).
13. This game is

3 mafia-aligned players

versus

10 town-aligned players

.
14. The following is a sample Vanilla Townie role PM:

Welcome, XXXX, to Mini 1953: XP Mafia!

You are a
Vanilla Townie.

You have no special abilities. However, you may make use of Training and Public Mechanics.

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

Please respond to this PM indicating you understand your role and win condition.
The game thread is here (link).

Setup Specific Rules:

I. XP
Each player in this game will have a certain amount of XP. XP can be gained by some night actions, and can be spent to power abilities. Each player starts with 1 XP, and players can never have less than 0 XP. Players are always aware of how much XP they have.

It is public knowledge that the Mafia's factional kill costs XP to carry out.

II. Training
Each player, by default, is allowed to Train during the night. This takes the place of another action and cannot be used alongside any action. When a player Trains, they gain 1 XP. This is an action and can be blocked or seen with Follower, but it is not considered a visit and therefore cannot be seen by Tracker, Motion Detector, Voyeur, or Watcher.

III. Public Mechanics
This game has a certain set of Public Mechanics. Public Mechanics are guaranteed to be in play for the whole game once they are put into play, and different game events may cause new Public Mechanics to go into play throughout the game. The following Public Mechanics are in play at the beginning of the game:

[Block]
All players may vote to block another player using

Block: Player

. Once a majority is reached, the day ends and that player is blocked. A blocked player loses all XP and can carry out no actions (personal or factional, including Training) and gain no XP the following night.

[Upgrade]
At any time during the day or night, any player may spend 3 XP to upgrade their role, providing a bonus that is unknown until the upgrade is made. Each player can only upgrade once, and the upgrade takes effect at the end of the phase in which it was submitted, at which point the player will learn their new role. Players with upgraded roles will flip with both their original role and their upgraded role.

These are the

only

Public Mechanics initially in play. Voting to lynch is not initially available. However it is still possible to vote to end the day with VOTE: End Day; this has the effect a No Lynch would have in a standard game.

By the way, I appreciate the clarification questions. I don't want this to be difficult to understand; I tried hard to present all the setup information as clearly and concisely as possible, but it wasn't easy.

are upgrades alignment dependent or influenced? as in, scum will not be able to receive upgrades A, D, E, G, I, J, but could receive B, C, F, H, L, etc.?

are there 2 different lists of upgrades for scum and town?

Each role has its own predetermined upgrade. So if player 1 upgrades, they'll receive upgrade A, and if player 2 upgrades, they'll receive upgrade B, regardless of the order.

There is something new today!

Today, players may vote to put a new Public Mechanic into play. As always, once put into play it will remain in play the whole game. The possibilities are:

[Self-Watcher]
During the night, any player may pay 1 XP to learn who (if anybody) targeted them. If this action fails for any reason, you will receive "Your action failed, and you did not receive a result." This is an active ability, and cannot be used in conjunction with another active ability.

[Rolecop]
During the night, any player may pay 1 XP to learn the base role (without upgrades) of another player. If this action fails for any reason, you will receive "Your action failed, and you did not receive a result." This is an active ability, and cannot be used in conjunction with another active ability.

[Neighborizer]
During the night, any player may pay 1 XP to neighborize another player. They may choose whether to add the target to an existing neighborhood created with this ability or create a new neighborhood. There is no limit to the number of neighborhoods a player can be in. This is an active ability, and cannot be used in conjunction with another active ability.

To vote for a Public Mechanic, use the VOTE: tags. The Public Mechanic vote will be kept separately from the block vote, and the Public Mechanic vote with the most votes at the end of the day (plurality) will be put into play.

The answer is irrelevant, because Ginngie could only steal XP that the target gained that same night. (Not XP that they already had.)

I.e., can the mafia both kill and use one of these actions (not an active ability), or can they only use one?

@mod If a player with 3 xp chooses to upgrade during the day, does getting blocked at the end of the day interfere with this upgrade, or will they complete the upgrade?

Neighborhoods are always open.

In the second scenario, the upgrade would be successful and the block would take effect afterward.

I think if we can block scum and deprive them of xp and hopefully impact their ability to nk we're doing all we can for now.

Also...I assume since no one is mentioning anything...that no one got any incriminating role cop results.

mod...if someone rolecopped mafia would they receive anything AI? Ex..would a goon with no power role come back as goon or something less AI like vanilla?

A rolecop result returns only role and not alignment. The result could be alignment indicative if the target has an alignment-specific role, but a goon would come up as Vanilla.

With the death of that pesky Pacifist, a new Public Mechanic has been unlocked:

[Lynch]
All players may vote to lynch another player using VOTE: Player or

Vote: Player

. Once a majority is reached, the day ends and that player dies.

Post Post #1194 (isolation #50) » Wed Nov 08, 2017 7:35 am

But that's not all!

Today, as before, players may vote to put a new Public Mechanic into play. As always, once put into play it will remain in play the whole game. The possibilities are:

[Conditional Deathproof]
At any point, if a player would die with at least 3 XP, that player will instead survive and lose 3 XP. They will not be notified if this occurs (although they will know that they lost 3 XP).

[Blessing]
If this Public Mechanic is unlocked, every player will immediately gain 1 XP. After that, it has no further effect.

[Loyal]
During the night, any player with a personal action (NOT one granted from another Public Mechanic) may pay 1 XP to make their action Loyal. That action will fail if used on any player not aligned with the user.

To vote for a Public Mechanic, use the VOTE: tags. The Public Mechanic vote will be kept separately from the block and lynch vote (not a typo this time

), and the Public Mechanic vote with the most votes at the end of the day (plurality) will be put into play.

I don't know what you mean by "not loyal action."
If someone was roleblocked what would the text be for an action

If you target player A with a loyal action but they're not loyal IE not on your side what would the text be

The action would be considered failed in both cases.

By default, an investigative role would receive "Your action failed, and you did not receive a result." in both cases.

Post Post #2307 (isolation #82) » Sat Dec 02, 2017 5:22 pm

Second order of business: my thoughts.

Well done, scum. This was not an easy setup for you, despite the extremely delayed introduction of lynching. Yurkin rocked it by taking out your strongest role just at the point when he was about to become even more powerful. One of the things I was concerned about was the fact that the setup was extremely conventional and therefore too many people might be towncleared based on claims. Town had one main investigative role and one main protective role, and one role was duplicated for town and scum, and scum had a roleblocker which is an extremely predictable scum role (with an extra ability that overlapped with Ginngie's, too, though nobody noticed that). Props to the scum for creating enough confusion to blow all of those (correct) assumptions out of the water.

And fyi, my reasoning behind having two dead threads was "why the hell not". Having to put everything in spoiler tags just in case somebody doesn't want to be spoiled is dumb. So while I expected everyone to go to the spoiled thread eventually, I gave them a chance to say stuff before being spoiled if they so chose.

Post Post #2312 (isolation #83) » Sat Dec 02, 2017 5:43 pm

Third order of business: the setup.

This was an extremely ambitious setup with several novel mechanics and at times during the game I felt like I bit off more than I could chew. However, I don't think any serious flaws in the game design were revealed. The biggest crisis I had was the realization, after the game had started, that somebody getting RB'd when trying to vig was absolutely horrible, both balance-wise and enjoyment-wise. So since I had never specified what would happen to the XP if a paid ability was RB'd, I retconned in a rule that refunded XP only in case of the vig. Fortunately, this issue never came up in the game, as I would have had to do even more awkward sidestepping of questions.

I want to address mastina's account of what happened around the start of Day 6, where mastina first claimed to have not received the result she was owed from me and then later received it, and she also claimed to have had a PM conversation with me where I refused to answer her questions directly but ended up accidentally revealing the information she was looking for. Aside from the last part about me accidentally revealing the answer to her question (which I believe was rhetoric to support her claim), this is all true. I did forget to send her result initially, and I responded to her redirector questions as though she were town (which in most cases led to me saying "I can't say).

I'd love to hear people's thoughts on the setup as this was my first attempt at creating a complicated setup centered around an original mechanic. Clearly I aimed high, and while I don't think the setup mechanic was brilliant or extremely well executed, I'm pretty happy with how it was received and how well people seemed to understand the idea behind it. If people like the idea, I may take what I learned from this game and create a sequel with the same mechanic that hopefully has a lot of the kinks ironed out.

Regardless, I would really like to hear what people thought about the XP mechanic itself, the other related mechanics like training and the Public Mechanic votes, and the setup design and execution (as well as balance and swing) as a whole. Any feedback you can give would be much appreciated
