. This is a game, the main goal is to have fun, so have fun and don't throw crap.
2
. This is a GAME, the secondary goal is to win, so play to win and don't play against your win condition, everyone hates it.
3
. THIS IS A GAME WITH A NONSENSE MOD, so always feel free to point out suggestions and ask any sensical question by PMing or post in
bold, starting with @mod:
. And try not to throw crap.
4
. This is a good game, we don't want any cheatings here. If I see it, or someone sees it and report to me, I'll have to modkill you and turn you to a Neutral Survivor, meaning that you cannot win, plus I'll have to report this to Admins. I don't want to do that so please, PLAY IT FAIRLY AND KEEP RESPECT!

THIS IS MOD'S COLOR
(#FF00BF), DON'T TRY TO USE IT.
ACTIVITY / PROD / "V/LA" RULES
7
. Be active and talkative. We don't want inactive players. But not too much like a post every half-minute, that's too annoying.
8
. As said above, so 48 hours without posting anything will result in a PROD.
9
. 24 hours after the prod, but you don't come back, I'll have to find a replacement.
10
. I can give you up to 3 prods, if you require a fourth, I'll also have to find a replacement.
11
. Having V/LAs? Post it in this thread in
bold
, and it is recommended to PM me about it too. However, I accept only up to 1 week length. Longer than that? You should find a replacement.
You must also have an V/LA status in your profile or the V/LA will not be accepted!
It's better to spell out the player name you are voting. Nicknames/abbreviations are fine as long as I understand who you are voting.
Unvotes are not necessary, but it's good.
You don't have to unvote before you vote another player.
And lastly, don't vote multiple players in the same post.
While the game mechanics allow all players to have multiple "votes", you still can vote only one player at a time; your "votes" will always go to ONE player and never be split.
TATSUYA'S GAMEPLAY RULES
1
. 2 weeks for daytimes. But can be extended due to things that might happen.
2
. 2 days for nighttimes.
3
. A lynch is acheived when the number of votes to a player is equal to half of the combined total of each living player's "votes" (not the number of living players), rounded down, plus one. If this doesn't happen before deadline, then it's a No Lynch.
4
. After the "hammer" or the final vote required for a lynch is casted out, a "Twilight" starts. All living players, including the most recent lynchee, may talk until I lock the thread and start the night phase. But no more votes can be made.
5
. I will announce the alignment and their role PM after their death.
6
. I will allow one informationless "bah" post at the start of the next day after you died. After that, you must keep silent until the game ends.
7
. All night actions are submitted in Private Topic, or PM if you don't have one.
8
. If you have any "hypothetical" questions, please ask through PM only.
. The win conditions of the two sides are listed below. Third party factions (if any) have their win conditions listed in their Role PM.
Kamihama Magical Girls
: You win if all threats to you and your friends are eliminated.
Wings of Magius
: You win the Magius controls at least half of the living players and no hostile neutrals (if any exists) are alive.
4
. Before the game, we asked players to provide a screenshot of a results of a "Fate Weave" simulator from mobile game Magia Record's Wiki site. Then we roll alignments first, and create Role PMs based on each player's alignment and their Fate Weave results. Each Role PM includes exactly one Magical Girl and may include up to one each of Skill and Ability memoria. A memoria may be shared by multiple players but no one will have the same Magical Girl and thus no one has Iroha Tamaki because it's my sample one.
Spoiler: Example of a Fate Weave result
Circle-ish Icon is a Magical Girl. Square Icon is a Memoria. Each memoria has a blue or pink icon on its corner, indicating an ability or skill memoria.

Players, when you receive Role PM, please confirm by replying with your alignment and your disc choice for Day 1.
This is Pregame. Day 1 starts when everyone has chosen their discs.
(Currently 10/13)
As a reminder, if you haven't read the mechanics post yet, please do so now. There are minor updates.
As another reminders:
1. Magia/Doppel is a disc and must be chosen like a normal disc, with the requirement of spending MP as listed.
2. You can use your Skill Memoria (if you have one) on the phase listed with it. After usage, it enters cooldown mode. The cooldown number means the number of phase changes needed before the Memoria is usable again.
3. At LYLO, all of your Charge and Blast discs become Accele discs.
4. The Wings of Magius has daychat.
5. I'm reminding you guys too much so just head to the mechanics post and be sure to read everything.
I'm hurt. And you know, there's my name on the title.
Well then, a short introduction! I am Mitama Yakumo, Kamihama’s famous Coordinator, and the cutest girl!
Hey, don't walk away like that!
Anyway, I welcome you all to play a little game to prepare for your fights in the mirrors!
Because you cannot always trust anyone in there. There are copies of you and everyone you know everywhere you go.
Same goes for in this game, where some of you will act differently from what they have been.
But in the end, I want you all to have fun when you're around, okay?
And to spice things up, each of the winners will receive a free service by me! This is a rare time where I give out free services so do your best!
So have fun, and play to your best!
Oh, wait, it's already the end of Day 1! I shouldn't have overslept!
So you have voted a player to be eliminated. I'll reveal her Role PM right now.
Which side is she, do you all think? Let's find out!
popsofctown has been lynched on Day 1 She was...
Spoiler: popsofctown's Role PM
...a member of the Wings of Magius!
Too bad you're out, popsofctown. But your side can still win, though so root for them!
And for everyone else, it's time for Night 1! Good luck!
IT IS NOW NIGHT 1!
Players, please select your new disc for Day 2. We will be sending you your current status (Disc pool, MP and Charge) in sometime later today (Bangkok time). Also, if you have any night actions, Factional kills, or Skill Memoria that you would like to use, you may also do so. All of these must be done through PM (please set the recipients to Tatsuya Kaname and Torque) or a PT if you have one.
There was at least one confirmed mod mistake. Currently double checking everything else but the game will resume after we fixed the holes. Sorry for inconvenience.
Your Status after Day 2 will be sent in a few hours, for real. Please choose your next disc, along with any power activations (if any). Some of you may have enough MP to use a Magia by now.
I wanted to try practicing speaking like those rumor spreader...thing. The way they said is strange, but in a good way.
Anyway, in Kamihama, just like any other place in the world, there are a lots of rumors spreading around.
But somehow, Rumors are becoming real in this city. And when you try to break the rumor, the "Uwasa"s, which is like witches or familiars but aren't one, comes and take any action to keep the rumor spreading.
That's strange, right? But there are many more strange things in this city. Like I heard that recently witches and Magical Girls are gathering to Kamihama, like they were lured by something.
But hey, you know, more girls means I earn more profit so I'm alright with this.
If you want to know more about this, and Iroha-chan's adventure in Kamihama, you'll have to check out the game and the anime, alright? Now time for the lynch reveal!
Gamma Emerald has been Lynched Day 3, he was...
Spoiler: Gamma Emerald's Role PM
...a Kamihama Magical Girl!
Well, you have made it this far so nice job, Gamma Emerald! Join the people in the room and keep rooting for your team!
And the game is not over yet! We're going into Night 3! Good luck everyone!
IT IS NOW NIGHT 3!
Players, please submit your disc selection for Day 4, and any actions you want to use (if any).
Night 3 ends in (expired on 2019-12-17 10:30:00).
Ehh? She's still sleeping now? I guess she's tired. And what do I have to do now?
...why don't you just let me wake you up instead?
Alright, I'll be right back!
(a few minutes later)
...That was one scary closet. What is she keeping in there? I don't even know. Anyway.
Alchemist21 is lynched Day 4, he was...
Spoiler: Alchemist21's Role PM
...a member of the Wings of Magius!
THE TEAM OF KAMIHAMA MAGICAL GIRLS, CONSISTING OF Evenstar, Chemist1422, TemporalLich, Kerset, Gamma Emerald, Farkran, Venus and Mars, Sujimichi, RadiantCowbells AND Bitmap, WINS!
And that's all in the envelope so... good night?
Wait... I think I have to go and wake her up now! Mitama-san!
IT IS NOT NIGHT 4!
Players, please hold your disc selections and night actions for Day 5 because there is no Day 5 anymore. The full reveal will appear in a few moments.
Day 5 starts in 2080 days, 12 hours, 42 minutes
All PTs and setup will be released in (expired on 2019-12-19 12:00:00), in case anyone wants to redact anything in their respective PTs (and the spoilered Dead PT is essentially the Mod information PT)
Thanks! And I would like to thank Torque who helped me making this game possible!
To be honest we think the setup is a bit more complex than Anime U-Pick: King Size and the powers are a bit too crowded to our liking. We do like the disc mechanic but maybe it needs some reworking to make it work better in future games. (Anyone for a Fate/Grand Order Semi-U-Pick? I hate that game though, there's no guarantee you'll get good stuffs from Gacha at all, unlike the 100-pull pity counter in Magia Record)
And TemporalLich, your night actions never worked.

I always felt a bit rude when I apply a red herring to someone, I hope you apologize for my sin (it was taken from the game's story though, which included spoilers, whoops)
In post 3076, Bitmap wrote:TK, what did you think when you saw the TL, bitmap, and RC hood?
We were like "S***, hadn't we given Bitmap the ascetic, the game would have been broken at that point". Still, both hoods were great decisions from TL.
If you are offended for having a useless role, I apologize. When we design setup, our approach is throwing ideas around and then compile it into a setup, rebalancing as necessary. Not all roles are going to be powerful so it's just bad luck.
But to make it a bit more fair, next time I'll roll to scale power levels to each town members.
In post 3095, Kerset wrote:Tatsuya did you except that nobody will use their doppel? It seems that people didn't even try to collect MP for it.
I made a player become able to boost up other players' MP to try to compensate this, but yeah, Doppels are being quite next to impossible to do, even in-game. Some players are physically imposible to acheive Doppel with their disc pool, even with any sorts of boost (I'm talking to you, TemporalLich) but I still want to try to be true to the data so I just throw in some crazy ideas.
Maybe I should have allow more of boosting MP to accelerate Doppel usages, but it could have made the game even more swingy than it had been.
@pops Thanks for the comment and I am truly sorry that this game made you feel unfun.
We should have made scum more flexible to the setup, maybe providing real safeclaims and stuff right at the start of the game instead of verbally tell them some time in Day 2. (I generally do not give safeclaims from game start, but seeing the outcome of this game I think I'll have to reconsider about my modding principles, but if not, I'll let scum know about generating fakeclaims as soon as game start).
Also, the Status Aliment mechanics is a bit problematic. We should have either pointed out all the possible Status Aliments and effects (including red herrings as necessary), let it as is but no providing the victim the description or at least made the fact that there are some available and Town and Scum may be able to give the same ones.
That's the gameplay side now on to the real setup side.
I had a very different approach for this game setup than all Anime U-Picks I've ever done.
Rather than creating setup based moonlogickly on the flavor and lore text (which is the case in almost every other theme games), I decided to design roles based too heavily on the actual "gameplay data". Which results in 1) duplicates of power between players and somehow both scum and town and 2) becoming way too easy to figure out the powers.
I am sorry if this setup becomes unfun for you and I take all the responsibility for this. I promise to be more careful about the setup in future games (which probably will be regular Anime U-Pick or a Closed game I'm still working on. Unless there really is demand for F/GO, or any other Gacha Semi-U-Pick then I promise that I'll be more loose on the flavor).
