Mini Normal 2215: Deco [Complete]

[Umlaut]

Exemplified by the geometric designs of famous New York buildings such as the Chrysler Building and Rockefeller Centre, Art Deco was the most fashionable international design movement in modern art from 1925 until the 1940s. The art deco style, which above all reflected modern technology, was characterized by smooth lines, geometric shapes, streamlined forms and bright, sometimes garish colours. Initially a luxury style employing costly materials like silver, crystal, ivory, jade and lacquer, after the Depression it also used cheaper and mass-produced materials like chrome, plastics, and other industrial items catering to the growing middle class taste for a design style that was elegant, glamorous and functional.

Game mechanics

Day

• Days begin with a deadline of
  240 hours
  (10 days).
  
• Days will end when one of the following events occurs:
  • The deadline is reached.
    
  • A
    yeet
    (elimination) or
    no-yeet
    (no-elimination) is achieved.
    
  • A town-aligned player is modkilled.
• Votes should be made via the vote tag: “[vote]<playername>[/vote]” or “[v]<playername>[/v]”. Full player names or initial segments thereof are preferred.
  
• When more than half of living players are voting for the same player, that player will be
  yeeted
  (eliminated) and the day will end. Votes are irrevocable once a majority is achieved.
  
• You may vote not to yeet by voting for “No yeet”. When half or more of living players do so, the day will end without a yeet.
  
• If the day reaches deadline without a majority, there will be no yeet.
  
• I will interpret malformed votes according to my own discretion. In general, if it looks like a vote, I will probably count it as a vote. I reserve the right to edit malformed votes for easier counting.
  
• When a majority vote has been achieved but not yet recognized by the moderator, the game is in
  twilight
  . Players, including the yeetee, may continue to post during this period.
  
• Under certain circumstances I may elect to extend the deadline. I will announce this in thread if it occurs.

Night

• Nights will last
  48 hours
  , or until all living players give me their approval to end the night early.
  
• During the night, you should be unable to post in the public game thread. If for some reason you are able, doing so is still against the rules.
  
• Mafia night abilities should be submitted in the Mafia's private thread. Factional kills must specify which mafioso carries out the kill.
  
• Town night abilities should be submitted via PM.
  
• Use of active night abilities is optional unless otherwise specified in the role PM; if no action is submitted, no action will occur.

Win conditions

• All Town players have the following win condition: “You win when the Town is the sole surviving faction.”
  
• All Mafia players have the following win condition: “You win when the Mafia is the sole surviving faction, or when nothing can prevent this.”
  
• If the game ends or reaches Happily Ever After with neither win condition met, it will be considered a draw.

---

Activity requirements

• Players who do not confirm within
  48 hours
  of receiving their role PM will be replaced.
  
• Players who do not post any game-related content for
  48 hours
  in a single game-day will incur a prod.
  
• Players who do not post any game-related content for
  24 hours
  following a prod will be replaced.
  
• Players who incur three prods will be replaced.
  
• “Prod dodges” (posts with no game-related content) will be disregarded for purposes of the prod timer.
  
• If for any reason you are temporarily unable to meet these requirements, you may declare V/LA status
  in thread
  and be excused. V/LA declarations must include a definite end date.
  
• Notwithstanding V/LA status, any player who does not post at all for
  7 days
  of consecutive day time will be replaced.
  
• These are minimal requirements, not recommendations; please keep the game active.

Thanks for playing, everyone! This thread is now open for general discussion.

[Umlaut]

You forgot my notes topic.

Fixed!

[Umlaut]

I'll ask to have the Review PT unlocked. In the meantime I'm happy to answer any questions folks have about the setup.

[Umlaut]

Oh, I'd almost forgotten about the mod error. I accidentally posted an early draft of the start-of-day post (clicked "Submit" instead of "Save Draft") which included DGB's flip, since Roden was shooting it and at the time no one was blocking Roden yet. I deleted the post seconds after it went up but still had to verify no one saw it.

[Umlaut]

In 100% of games lately the setups have roles that deliberately mislead the town, such that ROLES ARE USELESS.

Worse than useless.

This is a point I find worthy of comment. There are two things I want to say about it: one specific to this game, and the other more general.

The more specific point is that Egix' Strongman-Finder ability served a definite purpose in the setup, in that it motivated him to target players he suspected of being Mafia. This made his 'real' ability of catching the Encryptor one that would reward good reads on his part. (Ultimately this is not why he targeted VFP but had the game gone differently it could have been.)

The more general point is that the purpose of power roles in a Mafia game, particularly in a closed game, is to give their faction whatever benefit those roles have. It is emphatically

not

to present an "outguess the mod" puzzle wherein the town tries to discern the setup by meta-reasoning. I can honestly say I did not add that role with the hope of

tricking

anyone, not only because that particular formulation was an NRG suggestion but because I never would have imagined anyone to be so confident in the first place that the presence of a Strongman-Finder implied there must be a Strongman to find. Given that you openly admit you knew no such guarantee existed, I don't think you can also seriously claim you were tricked.

In other words: the primary way the town could have caught Titus as Mafia in this setup was by

scumhunting.

To the extent that the town lost by disregarding scumhunting in favor of reliance on a promise that no one had ever made, I consider that loss well earned.

[Umlaut]

DGB, you are entitled to your taste in setups, and if this one wasn't to your taste then it probably doesn't matter whether or not I can explain how it's reasonable from my perspective. I hope you still enjoyed the game.

To be fair, town lost because town kept letting themselves get mis-elim'd for three days in a row lol.

Also true, and why I said "to the extent that" -- because really, the direction of this game wasn't primarily about that even if the last day maybe was.
