Mini 1906 - It's An Owners Market Blitz (Game Over)

Post Post #0 (isolation #0) » Sun Apr 30, 2017 1:13 pm

Welcome to It's An Owners Market!


Backup mod; Pieguyn.
I was told there has to be at least one noob in the game so I picked her.

Reviewed By; Everyone I could ask.
Him? Yes. Her? Yes. Really him too? Yes, I did say everyone.


I Standard Rules
1. The site-wide rules apply. Read them, know them, love them, but do not break them.
2. Play to win and have fun, remember this is a game and you're all here to have a good time.
3. Do not quote communications outside the game in this thread including role PM's and messages to the mod, paraphrasing is allowed.
4. Do not talk about this game outside of this game thread until it is completed, unless I have specifically told you it is allowed.
5. Do not bring outside factors into this game. This includes making bets, promises of real life rewards, etc.
6. Breaking one of these rules may, at my discretion, result in a modkill.
7. If you need to be replaced or have any questions at all please don't hesitate to contact the moderator.

II Voting & Deadlines
1. Votes must be bolded and on their own line. Unvotes are not necessary but would be appreciated.
2. Day phases will have a fixed length of 4 days (96 hours).
3. Night phases will have a fixed length of 1 day (24 hours). Night actions are due 1 hour before deadline.
4. Majority votes will not cause a lynch until D5 onward, prior to that the player with the most votes when deadline hits is lynched.
5. In the event of a tied vote upon deadline the player who received that number of votes first will be lynched.
6. Players who have not posted in 48 consecutive hours will receive a prod. After receiving a prod, a player has 24 hours to post before I will begin seeking a replacement.

III Setup Rules & Information
1. This will be a 10:3 Open Setup with every player starting as a Vanilla.
2. Mafia have daytalk including the 24 hour pregame period.
3. Mafia have a factional ability to hide the price sold for an item that can be used once per day phase either for the midday or day end update.
4. Town players will begin the game with a wallet of $500 and Mafia players will receive $800.
5. Money cannot be transferred.
6. Players may use multiple abilities a night however can only use one shot of each ability maximum.
7. Players will flip with their alignment but not the roles they've obtained.

IV Auctions
1. Four limited shot roles from the pool of twenty available are selected randomly every day and auctioned off.
2. Bids are made inside your QT during the day phase and the player with the highest bid at day end will receive that role.
3. You may only bid the money remaining inside your wallet, you may increase a bid on an item but cannot use that money elsewhere.
4. You must outbid the current highest bidder to win the item. Losing bids are refunded at day end.
5. The winner of each auctioned item are not revealed publicly, just the bid itself.
6. There will be a mid day update 2 days into the day phase where the highest bid per item are revealed but not the winner again.
7. Items auctioned are removed from the potential list the following day.
8. Bids will no longer be eligible within the last 10 minutes of each day phase. Lynched players can win an auctioned item.
9. Auctions will no longer take place after day four.

V Marketplace Owner
1. Players will vote for a Marketplace Owner on top of the vote to lynch in the thread during day one.
2. The player with the most votes at deadline will be elected the Marketplace Owner.
3. In the event of a tied vote upon deadline the player who received that number of votes first will be elected.
4. The elected player privately submits an order to increase the odds of four items being up for auction the following day phase by 400%.
5. The elected player has this ability every night phase.
6. The elected player must designate a replacement in case they die, this is revealed publicly upon their death.
7. Marketplace Owners are no longer needed after day four.

How is the increase in probability calculated when the probability of 4 items is increased? Is it calculated as if there are 4x as many of each item in the shop, so it's 4x more likely to be chosen than any other item (for example an item would go from 1/12 chance to 4/20 chance of being chosen)? Or it is just 4x more likely for that item to be chosen than before (for example, the item would go from 1/12 chance to 4/12 or 1/3 chance of being chosen).
Here's an example of it works;

1. Bulletproof x 1
2. Day-Kill x 1
3. Commuter x 1
4. Godfather x 1
5. Jailkeeper x 1
6. Ninja x 2
7. Roleblocker x 1
8. Tracker x 1
9-12. Bulletproof x 1 (Enhanced)
13-16. Jailkeeper x 1 (Enhanced)
17-20. Roleblocker x 1 (Enhanced)
21-24. Tracker x 1 (Enhanced)

I would roll 1-24 inside randomorg and the ability matching that would be up for auction that day, would random again; if the ability matches one already rolled to come up that day I would just reroll it, this would happen until there's 4 unique items up for auction.

In post 906, Oversoul wrote:Also, how did Tywin's auction selections go so haywire?
He lied about what he actually put up inside the thread, he did enhance daykill; claimed he enhanced Bodyguard in the thread which...wasn't a role in the game.

Will post most of thoughts about this game later tonight as well as night actions etc but this was a case of scum massively outplaying the town at both the mechanics and the scumhunting aspects of the game; town lacked someone to really take control and push it in the right direction and overall lacked cohesion. No lynching was the obvious move today.

Sorry about the delay on it but I've now released the Scum QT which can be accessed here, you'll notice how well the scum worked together in regards to play, night actions and bidding plans; their cohesion was very impressive, they most certainly were the alignment that deserved the win compared to towns lurking.

I think town had pretty much all of the information they needed to win and solve this game, particularly in regards to the D1 wagon on Gamma that vanished and how D2 played out with Socrates/Gamma, lots of voting logic and motivation analysis could have won this game. Similarly town really underused the mechanics here, they needed to be bidding a lot more (And more substantial bids) then what played out, scum were allowed to win too many items far too cheaply and town did nothing to attempt to catch them from this. There's several different tactics that town could have enacted but didn't, I'm not particularly interested in walking through all of them but I did touch on a few inside the Spectator PT if people are interested in what I'm referring to.

Town needed to get Auction Detective x 2 at the very minimum enhanced both N1/N2 and likely Auction Detective x 1 too as they're actually very strong powers that need to come out early so people have opportunities to use them optimally, similarly cop needs to come out early; sure scum can win it but it means devoting lots of their funds towards it and means you can plausibly catch them from this bid.

As Prism noted scum making claims re; what bids they made and what they won isn't the easiest thing to do, it requires the scum team to have some forethought about this before mass-claim happens and means mafia can't just devote their entire bank to winning mafia-helpful items. Think Nacho mentioned this too as I ran this exact setup over at DLP (Which ended in a mafia victory in a 3 way LYLO) in that even scum in "good positions" are never massively ahead if town can use the mechanic well enough. I think overall it's a fairly balanced setup that requires teams to actually think about the mechanic on a deeper level and whoever is using it more/better is going to have an (deserved) advantage.

In post 922, Prism wrote:I also have the exact opposite thoughts of ABR. Town had a huge advantage mechanically. The bids themselves are investigative, serving to clear some players while damning others. Ex. Socrates didn't have as much as he claimed, momo essentially cleared himself with the high neighborizer bid.

Town also literally had double the money of scum. Plenty of money to go around. $5000 vs. $2400. Town figured out that all of them bidding $301 meant that we couldn't do shit without being caught in a lie later (Scun can only win one power each for $301 before the numbers stop adding up).
All of this is true; the setups designed so that while it's 10 v 3 with scum having daytalk and town starting with no powers (Which is massively mafia sided) the abilities that town win as well as bids being alignment indicative in a lot of instances and very informative overall is a huge thing.

How was designing the mechanic? Also, can I try running the mechanic with some tweaks? Because this seems very fun and interesting to run.
It was designed overall a few months, had a lot of help with it too most notably from Pieguyn, Callforjudgement and Realeo though there's probably half a dozen other names that have 'reviewed' the setup, I've run it over at DLP; Owners Marketplace if you're interested in seeing how the setup played out over there. I've no issue with you running the mechanic / setup and tweaking it before doing so, let me know when you do because I wouldn't mind following along as a spectator!

This is largely amended from a comment I made post-game at the other site but still relevant over here;

An entire element of optimal town play that I'd expected people to use never made it into the game which is probably fair enough given people here seem less familiar with mechanic type games but still sad. Once scum had made their $501 bid on Daykill D3 town should have started playing this setup different on D4; you ask people that haven't claimed an item yet to bid $401 on certain items before the mid day interval, if they're unable to do so you've caught a scum player (Scum have the out in that the can either a) Hide the price or b) Have a partner bid for them to cover it) but you can remove scum teams of any pairing that has made $401 bids together and really start getting a feel for how much money scum have left from it. The game could have turned into a logical puzzle to solve with the information and situation scum put themselves in with the daykill outbid but town just didn't have the motivation to do so.

Still the biggest blunder for town was probably not no lynching on the final day phase, more time and flips would have helped for sure.

Anyway thanks everyone for playing and congratulations to the scum team again.

Also congratulations to Gerryoat for winning the Spectator guess-the-mafia-team game.
