Picked Fast or Picked Last


9 Players

2 Mafia Sports(Skill level is random from 1-4)

7 Town Sports (Skill level is random from 1-5. Cannot have more than one 5.)

  • Sports have a skill level, randomly from 1-5. There will be one 5 amongst the Town Sports, and no other 5s in the game.
  • Each night, Sports can do two of three things:
    • Self-Scout
      a player to send them your skill rating privately. First action reveals a three number range, second reveals exact number.
    • Train
      to level up your skill. If on the losing team, gain +2-3. If on the winning team, gain +1-2. Cannot go above 10.
    • Neighborize
      a player of their choosing.
    • Mafia Only:
      Kill
      a target player.
  • During the Day, players vote for the leader of the "Town" team.
  • Once someone is elected by majority, the team draft begins. All players must cease discussion and the draft occurs over private messages.
  • The draft must always end with the Town picking between two players. Other than that it alternates. For example, Day 1 starts with Mafia with picks 6 and 7 also being Mafia's to let Town have the 8th.
  • The last unpicked player is eliminated and flipped.
  • Once they die, they may name two players on the losing team. If at least one Mafia is among those players, the Mod will post it publicly. Otherwise, the Mod will not post it.
  • In ELO or MELO, Mafia must allow one of themselves to be in the final two if able. If a Mafia is elected Town leader is ELO or MELO, the game ends in a Mafia Victory.
  • The skill of each team is announced, and Mafia may only kill from the team with the lower number. If there is a tie, the Mafia can pick anyone.
  • This all repeats until Mafia is eliminated or Mafia equals Town.

If a second neighborize resolves, does it add a player to an established neighborhood or does it make a new neighborhood?

In the case of non collapsing neighborhoods there's probably a strategy around forcing neighborize and train to prevent maf from killing effectively.
New neighborhood.

I could give Mafia an extra action, would that solve that?
