GENERAL RULES:

Spoiler:

DURING THE DAY:

Spoiler:

Each Day will have a two-week deadline. Extensions will be given only in extreme circumstances, but always feel free to ask.
A simple majority of all living players must agree on one person (via voting) for a Lynch to occur (simple majority = ½ # of living players +1, rounded down).
If the deadline runs out before a majority lynch is agreed on, the day will end in a no-lynch.
Players may vote for a No-Lynch via voting for 'No Lynch'.
Once a player has reached a simple majority of votes no further unvoting will change their fate.
Once a player is lynched the game enters twilight until I post a death scene; all players may continue to post.
Once you are dead (either via lynch or night kill) you may no longer post except for a brief “Bah!”-type post that contains NO game related information.
Votes should be bolded or tagged or they may not be counted (e.g. VOTE: Player or VOTE: Player).
Vote revocations should be bolded or tagged or they may not be counted (e.g. VOTE: UNVOTE: Player or Unvote). Unvotes are not necessary before changing votes.
Votes/Unvotes must be placed on a line all by themselves to make them easier for everyone to see.
Votes/Unvotes that reasonably follow the guidelines specified above, and are unambiguous with respect to player nicknames/abbreviations, will count.
If you cast a Vote, doing so will remove all previous votes indicated with your name before the new vote is cast--in this way, a player who has a role-related ability to double vote will essentially 'unvote' before casting their new vote, rather than having a lingering double vote.
In the case of specific votes (such as an ability that may put a vote called [Extra Vote] on a player), you must use specific tags to submit these votes AND to remove them if you want to unvote with just that [Extra Vote].
If you unvote, you will remove all votes controlled by you in the votecount.
Vote counts will be edited into the first post of each page (so long as I can keep up, yo). Other announcements and requested vote counts will receive their own post.

Some Part of an Appliance, Probably	Featured in the Episode, "There's Always Tomorrow, Baby" This item definitely has a use. Maybe. Okay, fine. It's 1-shot, day-use, and it fixes the Aloha Oe immediately upon use.	₩1,000,000

Upon posting relevant song and/or image in the game thread, you will be unable to affect or be affected by any player's actions for the current Day Phase and following Night phase.	₩4,000,000
Planet Limbo's Co-ordinates	Featured in the Episode, "A World with No Sadness, Baby" 1-shot. You may only use this ability if you are a member of the Aloha Oe's Crew. You must use this ability during the day phase; The Captain of the Aloha Oe must agree to its use by the end of the Day. If the Captain Agrees, the Crew of the Aloha Oe will visit Planet Limbo (The Dead Thread) during the Night Phase. Because Planet Limbo exists within its own Dimension, all members of the Aloha Oe Crew will only be able to affect and be affected by each other's Night abilities as well as any ability that affects players regardless of their Dimension. During this Night Phase, the Crew of the Aloha Oe may chat with all of the Dead Players. At the start of the following Day Phase, the Aloha Oe must return to one of either of the game's two Dimension game threads.	₩4,000,000
Planet Grease Contest Entry	Featured in the Episode, "We're All Fools, So Let's All Dance, Baby" Players may only purchase this item once.

The Winner of the Dance-Off will earn ₩100,000,000.

A LYNCH HAS BEEN REACHED FOR DAY 1:

Sometimes it isn't enough just to be a Dandy guy in Space. Dandyism transcends all borders, races, religions, creeds, and even genders. She-Dandy knew this. She-Dandy was the most rough-and-tumble, cool-as-cucumbers chick this side of the cosmos. She combed the galaxy like her perm, on the hunt for aliens. Planet after planet she searched, discovering bizarre new creatures both friendly and not. Such were the spectacular adventures of She-Dandy and her sexy space crew in space.

Alas, they were not long for this world. Someone, or

something

, detested She-Dandy's existence. "Don't you just feel like a female counterpart to a more actualized person? Don't you feel like you're just the female 'version' of someone much more interesting and nuanced?" She-Dandy would have never agreed with this line of logic--she was her own dandy self. It was for that very reason that she had to be destroyed, at least, in the eyes of her aggressors.

She-Dandy was last seen leaving a space-ramen shop. No one ever discovered where she went after that. It's as if she just ceased to exist...
...was that properly spooky? I'm not sure if I'm nailing this or floundering. I'm floundering, aren't I? Oh jeeze. I hope this is adequate enough. I guess it's more than other folks do, you know, just say, "Oh, so and so died." So blase. I can't just do that! I've got to give some relevance, you know? Some people, jeeze.

A kill has resolved during Night 1:

Dandy's career of choice, if you could even call it a 'career', is that of Alien Hunter. While his day to day alien hunting may not pay the bills, he occasionally has snatched a rare alien--only to promptly blow most of his reward money at BooBies. Such was Alien Hunter Dandy's life; Aliens and BooBies. BooBies and Aliens. Aliens. BooBies. Sometimes even Aliens

with

BooBies. While some might get tired of such a lifestyle, Dandy was either too thick or just too plain adventurous to give up on scouring the universe for that next paycheck.

Unfortunately, there are some who have a problem with those who poke their noses around where they don't belong. At some point in his rough-and-tumble Aliens-and-BooBies lifestyle, Alien Hunter Dandy saw something that he shouldn't have. I totally mean that, too. I'm not just building mysterious suspense because I haven't really figured out what a fitting antagonist would be yet, or anything. I mean, if anything, I totally have this all figured out unlike a certain Dandy who won't be turning in any more Aliens or crashing at BooBies any time soon. Or ever. What I mean is that he's kaputz. Y'know. Dead. Alien Hunter Dandy is dead. Actually, can I take that back? Can he just be 'mysteriously disappeared'? Because then I can keep my options open for, I dunno, if he comes back, but as an evil cyborg bent on hunting BooBies and eating Aliens or something. I mean, you can't do much with 'dead', but 'mysteriously vanished' has all sorts of allure. Let's go with that, then.

Alien Hunter Dandy mysterious vanished into the uncaring void that is the cosmos.

--what's that? No one cares? Oh.
Oh. I was going to say some really cool things about him, though. Like a eulogy, but, y'know, cooler. I guess you figured out by now that when I mention someone, they usually, y'know. Yeah. They're already dead. It's not me! Don't blame me! I just--anyway. Just trust me, I had some cool flavor for all this, but you don't care about that. All you want are the grizzly details, right?

Not everyone is Dandy.

Did you think that? Did you really think every single person in the whole wide cosmos had enough swagger to really deem themselves 'dandy'? Dandyism is something that transcends all races, creeds, and societies, but that calling simply isn't for everyone. No, no, not at all. Some folks are happy just being who they are, and who they are could be anything. So, let's stop talking about Dandies for awhile and just talk about someone else, yeah?

In one corner of the universe, there was a little robot who wanted nothing more than to be helpful. He tried his best and when he realized his software was outdated, he went for other methods. One particular QT unit was snide at times, rude at others, but always was looking to help out those in need. There were those that noticed, but most robotics enthusiasts overlooked the QT line and, over time, they faded into obscurity. The QT that I speak of may very well be the last in the galaxy; but he'd never know it thanks to his decade-old databanks.

The saddest thing happened one day. This QT disappeared without a trace and no one even really cared. I wish I could chalk this up to some big conspiracy to rid the universe of those who would stop the oncoming darkness that dooms us all, but there really isn't anything like that going on. I mean, it'd be important if some sinister group with ill intentions for the multiverse had sacked this particular QT as a part of their ongoing efforts to undermine the last few stalwart guardians of the cosmos so that they may impose their rule. If something like that was going on, it'd make a much more interesting story. Nevermind all of that fantasy mumbo-jumbo, though. QT? Who's that? Let's get back to the Dandy adventures, baby.

With all these folks up and disappearing, something had to give. That's when they found him--the big oaf who was just lugging people off into the far reaches of Space. When they gave him the third degree about offing Dandies, he wouldn't say a word. Big dude just crossed his arms, bit off his tongue, and choked himself on his own blood. Pretty gruesome, if you ask me.

Reminds me of those old stories about cave ogres who would just kidnap and eat people. Don't know if this guy was eating people, though. It was very frightening when they did find him. On that day, Dandykind received a grim reminder. We lived in fear of the titans, and were disgraced to live in these cages we called Dimensions.

It's not that I mean to draw a dead Dandy, it's just that, for some reason, they end up that way. I was really hoping this one wouldn't, but that's just how it turned out. That's just how it goes sometimes. You get real into it, and the art takes itself where it may. That's really my favorite thing about being a creative; the process of creation is really exciting. You never know for sure how things will turn out, but in that moment when you're creating it, there's a magic there. I'm sorry that this Dandy turned out dead as well, but that's art.

It had become very apparent that this universe was overloaded with Dandies--but what was more confounding was that these Dandies were disappearing at an alarming rate. Already, there were Dandy Factions, Dandy Wars, Dandy on Dandy crime, and eventually Weapons of Mass Dandyism were constructed. Thus marked an era known colloquially as 'The Great Dandypression,' where every Dandy was for himself and nary a wulong could be spared for a dandy guy in space.

They say that there was a Dandy think-tank working on finding a solution to all this mess, that there was a concrete reason why Dandies were being snatched up and never heard from again. You ever heard of Smart Dandy? Of course not. That's how effective this anti-Dandy force was. This dark consortium could disappear a Dandy before you even knew they existed. It wouldn't be long before Dandies and Dandyism was put on the universal watch list for all things extinct in the galaxy.

Some Dandies defy all logic. Some Dandies are more... conceptual, than they are Dandy. Those Dandies have to go. At least, someone must've figured this was the case. In one fell swoop, the elephant was no longer in the room. And by elephant, I meant the Dandy everyone wasn't comfortable around. You know. The big questionmark. Or, more precisely, triangle... mark. Dandy.

At first, the Dandies of the Universe disappearing was no big deal. Really, they were just people that happened to be dandy. Calling them Dandies with a capital D is probably the wrong way to go about it. Sure, the galaxy was a little less hip, fly, and, well, dandy, with each disappearance, but none was so egregious that anyone really cared or put immense effort into trying to thwart whatever force was at work. Philosophical debates broke out about what even constituted a 'dandy' while others argued incessantly over discovering the secrets of the universe despite the fact no book or database could ever give them the information they really needed.

Among this rabble, The Consortium of Dark Dandies met in secret. This disorientation and chaos among dandykind was their plot from the beggining. It was always their intention to dwindle the multiverse down to only a handful of Dandies. Like the plot of some turn-of-the-century martial arts film, every time a Dandy was killed, the very 'dandiness' of the slain Dandy's spirit split among all other Dandies. Narrowing the playing field to only the Dandies that they deemed worthy was The Consortium's endgame, and they finally achieved it when they took out the Dandiest Dandy of them all.

At this point in the game, there are 8 players alive (Skybird, Alchemist21, Klingoncelt, Sensei, White Fire, Nahdia, Elbirn, Aloha Oe) and the scum team controls 6 votes.
While I could have played the rest of this game out, turning the game into a rush for the scum team to lynch town would be unfair.
While the scum-team may only control 3 or 4 votes on the following day, there will only be 2 town players left alive with no capability of lynching scum regardless of scenario.
While certain purchased items may prolong this defeat, once again, I would consider it unfair to force a scum-team to turn the game into 'how quick can you lynch town before they purchase, confirm, and use these items'.

Due to achieving their win-condition of controlling a majority vote in all dimensions, the scum team,

The Consortium of Dark Dandies

(consisting of Hobbes Duncan, Elbirn, Alchemist21, and White Fire), win the game.

This game was solely created because I wanted to try out dividing up a Large Theme into two smaller games.
Furthermore, I wanted most (or even all) players to be given a 'generic' role PM so that Flavor Claiming couldn't be games.
It became very clear that the best flavor to attach to these core mechanics was that of Space Dandy, which is why I went with Space Dandy despite running an earlier iteration of the theme.

I want to know how you felt about both of those core elements:
Did having two smaller games make it easier to follow along with a large theme?
How did having 'generic' role flavor that flipped into specific role flavor feel?

I feel as though one of the failings of the multiple-private-game-threads approach is that replace-ins will be stunted in the case of any player slot that has been in more than one thread.

I also feel like the 'shop' mechanic in this game flopped, as many items did not have enough incentive to be bought publicly and town leaders browbeat players into only being able to make certain purchases. Furthermore, since the shop was tied to the ship, many players couldn't access it, either. This has helped guide the design of the shop mechanic that will be featured in a future game of mine, so I am grateful that I got to run an iteration, even though I feel as though it was a failure.

I don't think I'll be handling flavor in this way again any time soon.
As far as splitting larger games into smaller games, expect that mechanic to return, albeit not any time soon.

My next game, Bloodborne Mafia, will feature chat-after-death, role-play/flavor-heavy 'events', dungeons, and a shop mechanic.
It's gonna be a neat time, and probably at the far end of mechanical/flavor complexity that I am comfortable with.
I've already invested nearly 100 hours across several months simply putting the game itself together. It should be a really fun time, and, hopefully, my best game yet.

After that, I plan on running some of the themes I promised beforehand, such as Wakfu, Heroes of Might and Magic, Final Fantasy Tactics, Undertale, Shadowrun, Legend of Five Rings, and/or Parasyte. It really depends on player interest as well as what mechanics I feel like experimenting with. Regardless; all of these planned setups will be far simpler and have more ease of play than Bloodborne, which is really going to be overwhelming in terms of how much flavor and mechanical odds-and-ends I've got in there.

I designed the player mechanic first and, when designing the store mechanic, I always intended for it to have less leeway than the player-specific mechanic.
Yes, it was a fuck-up on my part not to be more specific about it.
I told Titus on numerous occasions that her role had more leeway than the Library Card.
Furthermore, when answering the question about "How many Town Space Dandies are there?" I made the mistake of interpreting the question as solely being one to determine multiplicity rather than to confirm alignment of specific slots. The question "How 'Space Dandies' are there" would have yielded 17, which essentially would have told Titus (who knew there were 4 scum from an earlier question) that there were 13 town Dandies anyway. I'm sorry this whole thing caused so much difficulty for the game, though.

In post 41, Drixx wrote: Also, there were a couple paths to winning available to the town when you ended the game, but too late now I suppose.

No; the scum wincon specifies that when they have voting majority, they win.
Scum had voting majority. They won.
Continuing to run the game would have forced the game into a time-attack. The scum team was already prepared to all align their schedules to log in and quickly lynch a player they knew had no protections from being lynched. Continuing the game would've run contrary to what I feel is the rhetorical spirit of mafia--it would have strictly become a game based around mechanical posturing and timing when scum already earned what I feel is a win.

In post 41, Drixx wrote: I could say way more about the game being broken, but it would just beat up someone I like, so just going to say nothing further.

If you want to powwow about general balance issues, that's fine. I feel like the dimensional mechanic was strongly scum-oriented even with the ship scan. Starting town with the ship would have been more balanced, but I would have given the scum team 5 members in that case.

I'd probably go
4 scum and 1 traitor
Scum know they have a traitor but don't know his identity
Traitor doesn't show up on ship scan, knows his scum team, but can't deliver the NK unless he's the last surviving member of the team.
It's a decent way to do 4.5 scum.

Given the decision to not allow town to play this day out, and the inability of any town roles to affect any of the actions that would occur until this day, there was no reason why the game shouldn't have ended with the Titus lynch.

And Varsoon. What would the space adventure be like D:

It's okay--I think the shop was a great idea but I also think I executed it poorly. The shop should have been available to everyone, with everyone capable of earning Wulongs. Tying it to the ship simply made it unavailable to most players most the time.

The Space Adventure would be a flavor/roleplay heavy event where the entire crew narrowly dodges the pursuit of Doctor Gel while trying to capture a rare alien worth tons of wulongs. I was planning on having the adventure seem like it would give a big wulong payout, only to make it such that, as usual, the Dandy Crew catches a worthless alien in the end. The reward prize was going to be either some amalgamation of shop items, private chat for the rest of the game, and/or The Booty.

In post 85, Cerberus v666 wrote:Umm.

Varsoon?

How did random recruit Elbirn? His power didn't work on aliens......or non humans or something....and chameleonian isn't human.

I address this in the Mod topic--it was legitimately a mistake. Every character who was not 'Dandy' was intended to be considered an 'Alien' for the purposes of any of the 'Alien' mechanics. I messed up and forgot that when Elbirn got recruited, but since no power had made a distinction on Elbirn before and due to the nature of the Chameleonian as a character, I decided that the Chameleonian would be more interesting if he could be affected by all game effects that target both Aliens and Dandies. I think, in the game, creatures like Triangle Dandy are certainly alien, but through sheer nature of being 'Dandy' (and due to the fake-claims I forced on all the Dandies), anyone non-Dandy was more 'alien' than he.

I apologize if it feels like I was leading the Scum Team at moments. I simply reminded them of basic gameplay mechanics when they came up. I do the same for town players at times--If a town player clearly presents a flawed understanding of their role or a public mechanic, I will often PM them to make sure they actually do understand how it works.

I agree that this setup is scum-sided--this is one of the struggles I had in reviewing this game, as my reviewer felt it was very town-sided. I think the truth of the matter is that it is very swingy. If I were to re-do this setup, I would rule that CURRENT Captains can't be forcibly moved between dimensions unless they decide to as a part of their own role mechanics. That said, your argument that the scum team starting as Captain is unfair falls flat for me for a number of reasons (all of these before the shop was made, which upset the game balance a bit due to its nature of coming after everything before it);
-There were 4 scum in a 20 player setup that included a Dimensional Sensor in it and no way for the scum to avoid the sensor aside from giving up their kill.
-If scum loaded up their ship with scum (Elbirn makes a crew of HobbesDuncan and SugarJan, assuming SugarJan has claimed and they understand she can't vote), then goes to the other dimension, a number of things happen. First of all, SugarJan sees that the Sensor scan reports 4 scum in the dimension when, on the previous day, two townies said that it had to have been 2 scum. This is a strong indicator that scum came over on the ship or something is messing with the scan. Elbirn is never made Captain again and everyone the ship (sans Jan, obviously) is lynched. Even if town somehow doesn't piece this together, Sensor scans bringing back 4 scum will allow town with communicative roles to let the other dimension keep from being hasty with lynches. Furthermore, assuming a mislynch and successful kill in the now-loaded Dimension, there are still 7 town and 4 scum with a total of 12 'living players'.

While that 'perfect scenario' would take 7 to lynch, which is not possible for town given town only have 6 votes. Town can still elect one of themselves Captain, and scum still don't have a voting majority, but I do see how that could be considered an issue. Still, like I said, there would overwhelming evidence confirming 2 scum within 3 players and a very clear need for town to take control of the ship. There are very many scenarios where this backfires hugely for scum, confirming upwards of half the townies.

The Dimensional pull doesn't assure scum a win through the nature of She-Dandy and Triangle Dandy coming over with the pull, but I do think I should have made it limited-shot (as originally intended) rather than non-consecutive.

Regardless, the game didn't play out towards some awful-for-town-as-early-as-D2 scenarios.

Unfortunately, if it starts before the 17th of June, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to sit this one out. I'll be out of town for almost an entire month, due to military training, and I won't be able to be nearly as active in a game as I should be.

I'll keep my eye out for it though, just in case. Has it already been announced?

Yup. It should also serve as a moment for people to sort out their questions about "What if..." strategies and such.
I think that this game was weakened by having lots of players spend time strategizing around mechanics only for me to say "No, no, it doesn't work that way."
I'd like to clear that up before gamestart in Bloodborne.

But no really it wasn't intentional from the start but it probably should've been because the Chameleonian is, like, god or something. He's also so good at being you that you might be a Chameleonian and have forgotten it.

You should have counted as 'alien' regardless because I wanted town's alien-snatching/killing stuff to work on your slot. I never revoked that aspect of your role.

Day-time Kills would affect any Captain and could've ended up in the setup via scum's Varsoon Dandy.
The real use of it was that you could essentially have two bulletproof townies;

Only the ELECTED CAPTAIN has bulletproof on the night following their election.
But your ability would let you be bulletproof so long as you are CURRENT CAPTAIN.
So, for instance:
If you are the Captain and then town elects another Captain
Both you and that newly elected Captain are bulletproof.

But yeah, that's about it.

Varsoon · Post Post #135 (isolation #46) » Thu May 12, 2016 4:15 am

In most situations, the ELECTED CAPTAIN is just going to be the previous day's captain/CURRENT CAPTAIN, so it turned out not being so great.
Sorry about that.

I feel like I'm being really hard on myself over this setup. A lot of things didn't work out the way I envisioned them, but so long as everyone had fun times, maybe it's not so bad.

I aim to make Bloodborne the best game I've ever run, and I'm very excited for it. The Flavor is going to be the best this site has ever seen!!

Varsoon · Post Post #141 (isolation #48) » Thu May 12, 2016 4:44 am

I'm going to bite my tongue with how many times I've had to repeat how this damn mechanic works.
During the day, you vote for a Captain.
When the day ends, the person with the most votes is the ELECTED CAPTAIN during the night.
The ELECTED CAPTAIN chooses a crew and is kill immune for the night.

If you were the ELECTED CAPTAIN during the previous night and the Aloha Oe is still around, you then become the CURRENT CAPTAIN.
The CURRENT CAPTAIN gets access to their CAPTAIN ABILITY, as well as the Aloha Oe's vote, roleblock, dimensional-shift, and neighborhood.
That's it.

Sometimes, the CURRENT CAPTAIN won't be the ELECTED CAPTAIN because town will go, "Aw screw that guy let's elect someone else."

I really hope that Bloodborne Mafia having an 'orientation' phase will help people understand its mechanics, because, honestly, it is far more complex than this game.
At the very least, the MASTER OF THE HUNT in Bloodborne Mafia won't get any sort of kill immunity, so I won't have to repeat how it works a billion times.

Varsoon · Post Post #143 (isolation #49) » Thu May 12, 2016 4:55 am

Look, man, I've admitted that this is a scum-leaned setup because I feel the Dimensional mechanic leans scum even with town starting as Captain.

Scum had to play very smart in this setup to avoid half of town being sensor-confirmed and town had to play smart to avoid scum dominating their dimensions. It was a setup that required a lot from both teams so they wouldn't get trounced and I'm sorry that it ended up not being balanced well. :/

Varsoon · Post Post #169 (isolation #50) » Thu May 12, 2016 6:59 am

Yeah, the game Drixx is putting together down the line is going to be pretty impressive if we can pull it off.

@Cakez: <3 I like the idea of bringing a player on to have a significant effect on the game.
I'm glad you enjoyed it, at least conceptually.

@Elbirn: I don't know when Bloodborne will hit signups, but, hopefully after your (hopefully short) break. :3

@Cerb: Ship wouldn't default back to scum if Elbirn was ever lynched or if a more recent Captain-Elect was in the same dimension. Furthermore, yoinking someone out of being Captain only works if Alchemist is alive, in the other dimension than the Captain, the ability isn't on cooldown, and the target is elligible to be pulled.

@Klingoncelt: You're the sweetest.

In post 176, Cerberus v666 wrote:Varsoon: about the idea of you dropping in ideas. A pretty major thing was you informing the scum team that they could designate an action to occur at day start. The reason why this in particular is upsetting is because at the same time, in another PT, town players were discussing taking an action(having skybird change dimensions) which we ALSO wanted to have occur as early in the day as possible, but you didn't feel the need to inform/remind US of the possibility...and then shortly afterwards you express excitement at the upset scum are pulling off, when said upset wouldn't have occurred if you had given both parties the exact same information/reminder at the exact same time.

Speaking of that particular interaction, had both skybird and alchemist21 set their abilities for day start, what would have occurred?

I apologize for that, then. I tend to be chattier with my scum-teams and I often do not comment in other PTs--mostly due to the nature of the informed minority in games. That said, if anyone ever asked about changing dimensions to be queued for daystart, I would have told them they could.

In the event that multiple privately-submitted actions are queued on the same 'trigger'/daystart, I resolve them in NAR order. In the case of the actions in question, the Dimensional Pull would have still happened first because it resolves between the 'Redirect' and 'Block' phases of NAR whereas the Ship travel resolves as 'Miscellaneous' in NAR.

Regardless, I will be including a section on 'queuing private actions' in my general setup rules from here on out because I do think it is a nebulous area of ruling that I need to be clearer on and just poking my head in when I notice I should to say, "Oh yeah you can queue that" is clearly not working.

People really rallied together to call the shots about how players should use the shop in this game.
I kinda didn't like that.
In Bloodborne Mafia, I'm really hoping that players will use the shop in a somewhat cynical manner. I don't want a town bloc browbeating players out of getting cool stuff, y'know?
I've put a lot of work into the design of Bloodborne Mafia in order to prevent that and to circumvent a ton of the issues I had with the mechanical odds and ends of this game.
I hope that it'll be a success and, ideally, the best game of Mafia ever run on this site.

Varsoon · Post Post #250 (isolation #60) » Fri May 13, 2016 4:18 am

That's one of the things I'm designing around in Bloodborne Mafia.
There will be private purchases and public ones.
The private ones are the questionable purchases.
The public ones almost all have to do with voting mechanics that would be public eventually, anyway.

Varsoon · Post Post #252 (isolation #61) » Fri May 13, 2016 4:32 am

I also think I've got the pricing far more manageable and balanced in Bloodborne Mafia. The publicly purchased items all are the sorts of ones that could be tested, but the way I am handling confirmation is that a player can very easily lie about purchasing an item. Even if you buy an item and use its effects publicly, you can send me a PM saying that you do not want to confirm its effects, which will make 'forcing' players to prove they did or didn't buy something moot. Hopefully. Also, I hate that sort of approach. If I could get away with it, I'd give a third party extra free kills on anyone who insisted on such rubbish.

Essentially, you will earn two currencies: Blood Echoes and Insight.

Both are earned from lynches, but roles will have ways to earn them uniquely and there will be a mechanic where the voted-in 'Master of the Hunt' can lead a party into a dungeon to earn these currencies too.

Insight is used to privately purchase all sorts of manipulative night action stuff.

Blood Echoes are used to publicly purchase various tools and items that, mostly, will influence and bolster your voting and survivability. Most items purchased this way can only be bought once by any player.

My main concern is that players will all go, "Well no one should buy these weapons unless we consult first" when it really should be "I have the money, I want that weapon, it'll help me out because I know I am town, I should get it so it doesn't fall into scum hands."

Varsoon · Post Post #253 (isolation #62) » Fri May 13, 2016 4:35 am

Although, one big thing I am thinking of doing is that for publicly purchased items, I will just do the confirmation of purchase in the game thread.
That way there's no player-sided jerkery over forcing people to prove they did or didn't buy a thing when it comes to public items.
I will still keep in the rule about being able to PM me to deconfirm a publicly submitted action, though.

Varsoon · Post Post #254 (isolation #63) » Fri May 13, 2016 4:36 am

I'm mostly worried that a bunch of jerkoffs will insist certain players spend money on certain items or get lynched.
That sort of thing isn't fun. :/

Varsoon · Post Post #257 (isolation #64) » Fri May 13, 2016 4:43 am

Yeah--I think making all public items one-time purchases will drive up the 'value' of buying that item as either faction.

Furthermore, I do want the major source of income to be tied to lynches in Bloodborne due to thematic reasons. I want bloodthirsty players to be tempted to lynch others solely to reap the rewards. Bloodborne is all about the sort of madness and bloodlust that overwhelms people engaged in a lynchmob/hunt mentality. One of the cool things is that even you, as a player, succumb to this mentality because beating enemies gives you rewards and even carving up enemies for a few moments after their deaths will regenerate your health. In a lot of ways, the game indoctrinates its player into being a blood-frenzied hunter, which is really awesome and something I want to mechanically incentivize in the theme game I run.

Varsoon · Post Post #291 (isolation #69) » Fri May 13, 2016 8:54 am

I've already said it once and I'll say it again--I messed up and should not have reminded anyone of the public information that was available to them, especially when unprompted to do so. In trying to make sure that players understood the information they were entitled to, I made a mistake. I own that.

My frustration comes from my own failure to properly express how things function within my game. It feels as though, no matter the simplicity or precision taken in writing up everything, someone will inevitably misinterpret some aspect of the setup. This isn't a judgment on anyone other than me. It's my duty as a moderator to make sure that the rules are clear. As the previous mistake I made proves--it's problematic to remind players of even basic public aspects of the setup or of the player's own role because doing so could lead to an arguably unfair advantage.

It's for this reason that I brought you on-board to help on Bloodborne, Drixx. I want to make sure all of my language and formatting is simple and clear and can't be misunderstood. I also know that you have a knack for taking games to the far logical/mechanical ends--this runs contrary to my rhetoric-focused approach to games and so, your input in invaluable to me because, as a player, I would not spend the time to think of how to break a certain combination of items to the point of winning a game if it ran contrary to the rhetorical spirit of the game. As a moderator, I try to balance around these mechanical aspects to the best of my ability, but my sensibilites as a player will always keep me from thinking of the mechanics on the same level of depth that you do. I'm sorry if you feel mocked or slighted--on the contrary, my only intention was to insult myself for failing my players.

Furthermore, it's for these reasons that Bloodborne Mafia will feature a 72 hour pre-game phase oriented towards making sure players understand their roles and the mechanics of the game. I'd much rather run into these sorts of semantic issues before the game began or within the first day phase rather than in the final hour or in post. It frustrates me deeply to see players interpret seemingly straightforward rules incorrectly--and it isn't because their interpretation is 'wrong' or 'bad', but that I was not able to use language in a way that properly conveyed what I meant, which is the largest failing that I can make as a professional writer and rhetorician. Furthermore, correcting a player on their false interpretation can be seen as giving that player an unfair advantage, which is even more frustrating to me. I want everyone to just understand their roles and the public mechanics. That's all.

I joke offhandedly about writing things out as a legal document because that's simply not feasible onsite. Rules and role mechanics should be conveyed in a very simple, concrete, straightforward way. Most games have the blessing of being able to use short-hand with a wiki page to explain how a role works; telling someone they are a Doctor, for example, is often clearly understood despite that being a very nebulous thing to write on a role by itself. Theme games often do not have this same ease-of-understanding because the roles are unique to the game. The role PMs in Bloodborne Mafia are already going to be quite large, so I want to do everything I can to keep the language concise and clear in meaning. Overwhelming a player with their role in an already overwhelming setup seems like a surefire way to ensure they become confused or lose track of some ruling somewhere. I'd like to avoid that, if possible.

Once again, I'm sorry for my failings in this game. All I can do is work towards making the next game better and learning from my mistakes. I deeply appreciate all of your criticism and feedback, and I know I can be very off-the-cuff and joking and even crass, but I want you to know that all of that is secondary to the dedication I have to this game and to all of you. You're all interesting, fun, cool people who make this worth the time I invest in it. I hope that I can produce games that are worthy of the quality you've come to expect from Mafiascum and deserving of your time as well.

@Nahdia: I'm glad you enjoyed the flavor. For this and my previous Space Dandy game, my end-of-phase flavor trended towards shorter, more humorous segments. I try to make sure my flavor narration reflects the tone of the theme. Bloodborne's flavor will be foreboding, mystifying, and exciting. You can expect less humor and a little more writing.

I'm glad you enjoy mafia so much! I've gotten really into it and it always excites me to see other players with more than just a passing interest. That sort of dedication and excitement drives me to make more interesting games.
