Mechanics

1. Groups
   1. Players are put into 1 of 3 Groups at the start of the game.
      
   2. There is a main Town Power Role put into every group at random and a main Mafia member put into each group. In addition to this, Mafia have a Traitor who does not count as a member of the Mafia until all the main Mafia members are Lynched. Also, Town has a 4th Power Role that is the Universal Backup, who does not function as a main Town Power Role until a main Town Power Role Dies, in which case the Universal Backup takes their role.
      
   3. In the case that a member of the Mafia is Lynched from a Group, That group will disperse and will be reorganized. Power Roles, Mafia and Vanilla Townies will be organized into the new Group(s) as evenly as possible via RNG. This happens every time the main Mafia member is Lynched from a group.
      
   4. For both Mafia Traitor and Universal Backup, they are put into a random Groups when the game starts and remain to be placed in random Groups upon a Group dissipating as long as they are not main roles.
2. Game Phases
   1. There are 3 Phases of the game: Day Phase I (DPI), Day Phase II (DPII) and Night Phase (NP)
      
   2. DPI is 7 real life days. This Phase is for picking what Group to Lynch from.
      
   3. DPII is 7 real life days. This Phase is for players to decide who to lynch from the group that was chosen in DPI.
      
   4. NP is 2 real life days (48 hours). This Phase is for Night Actions if you have any.
3. Conditions
   1. Mafia must Night Kill from the previous DPI group that was chosen. If a Group was not chosen in DPI, then Day ends at the deadline that was made for DPI and Mafia can then NK anyone of their choosing. The group that was chosen in DPI, cannot vote in DPII.
      
   2. If a Group is chosen in DPI before deadline is up, that time will be added to DPII effective immediately upon a majority in DPI
      
   3. For DPI and DPII, Lynch is decided by simple majority (>50%) of people who are able to vote.
      
   4. All other Night Actions besides Night Kills proceed as normal, meaning anyone with a Night Action may choose to use their ability on anyone they choose unless your role specifies otherwise.
4. Miscellaneous
   1. I reserve the right to extend Phases at my discretion
      
   2. Players may post until I do a final vote count and close the thread for that Game Day and post the flip
      
   3. Night Actions must be in 1 hour before Start of Day. If you wish to do no action, nothing is necessary from you. If I do not get a Night Action in 1 hour before Start of Day, you forfeit your ability that Night.
      
   4. Once a player is dead, they are no longer allowed to post in the thread until the game is over
      
   5. Please
      BOLD
      public requests and public questions to me and put "
      @Mod
      " or a rendition of my name that I can understand at the beginning of the post so I know that you have a request/question for me. For all other questions/requests that are not public, PM me.
      
   6. Vote counts will be done regularly
      
   7. I will deal with rule breakers at my discretion, which I may talk to someone more qualified than myself about the offense. This ranges from a warning to a force replace to a mod-kill.
      
   8. Blue
      is my color, do not use it

Activity

• If you do not post within a 48 hour period of a Game Day then I will give you a single prod and if after 24 hours after your prod, if you do not post, I will replace you

VOTE: Group B

Grey, i'm keeping my word and coming for you

[Almost50]

Personally I'd rather wait until everybody talked some before I decide. I mean, the majority of players I've played with before and I some I think I can read to some degree, so if I get a SR on a player I'd vote the group they're in and then proceed with trying to get them lynched.

On contrary, if we vote just for the sake of voting we may end up with a group that we don't have string reads on, and we end up screwing ourselves afterwards. (Imagine you we picked a group and THEN you got a strong SR on someone else, but you can't vote them because you're confined to vote from the group that was picked already. Thant will suck).

So, Ram.. knowing yours was a spam vote for what it's worth, which players have you played with before?

I first thought this game was highly scum-sided, but because of the town PRs I think I have a strategy that may have a decent winning chance for Town. (There are a lot of possible cases but I will give the gist). This game looks suited to someone logical and analytical.

The Neapolitan claims Day 1. We do not lynch in the Neapolitan group until we have to. Instead, we pick another group and lynch from here. Then the Friendly Neighbour will reveal that they are confTown to the Neapolitan, who targets someone in the group that contains neither themselves nor the lynched person. Assuming a Town was lynched on Day 1, two groups have five members and one has three. The Neapolitan can tell Town in which group the Friendly Neighbour is. If in the group with 3 members, the Neapolitan reveals who they are and we lynch there. If not, we lynch from the other group with 5 members.

I need to work on what happens after there. There are a huge number of possibilities, many of which are unlikely.

[Almost50]

That's myself & Sly .. and a little bit of Uzi on Group A, TTTT on Group B and Nero on Group C. Right? Then why did you vote group B? More to it: Wouldn't have been more logical to vote Group A since you know more players in there and thus have a better chance of reading them more accurately? Just trying to figure out why people are voting for now.

I need to consider Mafia PRs.

In this plan, Follower isn't helpful. Of course Mafia know who the Neapolitan is. They do not need to check them to see that they are performing a Neapolitan investigation. Then there is the Rolestopper. Their best option is probably to target the confTown Neapolitan to stop the Friendly Neighbour. Fortunately this means that the Neapolitan's investigation is guaranteed to work.

On second thoughts, the Neapolitan should target the group of 3. We are not lynching there immediately but this will be the critical group at the moment. A mislynch there will end the game. Thus we need more information from there.

Anyway, I am not a Neapolitan.

(By the way, a long time ago LQ asked me to look at the game. I didn't have much time to do it but I formulated numbers for the Mountainous (which is extremely scum-sided) and worked on basic strategy. This strategy should work).
