Micro 1073: Purgatory - Game Over!

Micro 1073: Purgatory

Moderators: furtiveglance and Alianna | List Moderator: SirCakez | Setup Designers: Elscouta and Bicephalous Bob



Image

You are all gathered in a desolate plain of grey, as far as the eye can see. A chill wind blows through the area, rustling your hair and making you shiver. Suddenly, a figure in a grey cloak appears before you, and all heads turn to face it.
"Welcome to Purgatory," the figure says in a solemn voice, "where souls come to face judgement before being sent to their final destination. Among you are six Saints, who have led virtuous lives, and three Sinners, who have been tainted by evil."

As the figure speaks, you see two towering gates in the distance - one leading up to heaven, and the other down to hell. The fate of each soul will be decided by a vote, with the Saints and Sinners working to send their respective groups to heaven while damning their enemies to hell.

You look around at the others gathered here, but there's no way to tell who is who - every soul looks the same, with no distinguishing marks or auras.

You'll have to rely on your instincts and wits to determine who to vote for, and who to trust.

Aisa

Rules


Taken from Plotinus, who was inspired by Equinox's, Glork's and Ether's rulesets.

important bit
  • Heaven and Hell phases both last 7 days.
  • Plurality eliminations; there will be an elimination in every phase.
  • 36 hours before prod, 24 hours before replacement.
  • Be nice

  1. Follow all site rules.

  2. Mod colour
    – My mod colour is
    #80BFBF
    ; don't use it. Alianna's is
    #9B80FF
    ; also don't use it.
  3. Behaviour
    - Don’t be a dick. This is a heated game but toxicity will not be tolerated. Attack the play not the player. If your fellow players tell you to stop, you must stop. If you do not stop, I will tell you to stop. If you still do not stop, you will be force-replaced. Asking people to stop voting you or to stop scumhunting you entirely doesn't count for this rule and you may find yourself eliminated if you try it.
  4. Don't talk about ongoing games
    - You may not talk to each other about this game outside of threads I have created for this purpose. You may not talk about other ongoing games in this thread.
  5. Animated GIFs
    - are of the devil, but they are permitted behind spoilers if clearly labelled as such.
  6. Tiny text
    - is also of the devil, keep it 70+ please.
  7. Provable randomness
    - is against the rules. Saying that you rolled a dice is fine, using dice tags or random.org is not.
  8. Claiming scum
    - by yourself is fine. Claiming scum with another player is against the rules.
  9. Cryptography
    - is forbidden. Breadcrumbing is okay.
  10. Confirmation
    - You have about 48 hours to confirm your role and your alignment by PM. Game will start sooner if everyone confirms. Posting in a private topic counts as confirmation.
  11. Phases
    - Heaven and Hell phases last 7 days; Martyr decision phases last 5 days. Extensions may be granted if there are replacements.
  12. Activity
    - You must post at least once every 36 hours or I will Prod you. You then have 24 hours to post in the game thread or I will replace you. If you come back before I find a replacement, you can stay.
  13. Prodging
    - A naked "prod dodge" does not reset the prod timer. To avoid being prodded/replaced for inactivity, include some game advancing content in your prodges, such as "got prodded; xxxx is still scum."
  14. Quoting
    - You may not quote (or copy paste) any private information into the thread, including your role PM and any mod communication.
  15. Voting
    - Votes must be in bold in the format VOTE: Plotinus or
    Vote: Plotinus
    . Strong preference for using vote tags instead of bold tags. Unvotes are nice but not required. If I think it’s a vote, it’s a vote, no tricks. Type [
    v]Plotinus[
    /v] to vote and [
    uv]Plotinus[
    /uv] to unvote.
  16. Elimination
    - Days end early when a simple majority of players (50% of living players + 1 rounded down) vote to eliminate somebody. If a majority is not reached at deadline, plurality will take place. Ties will be broken by whoever had that number of votes first being eliminated.
  17. Twilight
    - Begins when a majority is reached and lasts until I lock the thread. You're still alive until I flip you so you can talk in any game threads you have access to until then, but no votes or unvotes will be counted.
  18. Play to win
    - this particular game, not some future one, and keep it fun!

Setup

  • This setup is confirmed to be 3
    Sinners
    vs 6
    Saints
    .

  • The game cycles between hell phase and heaven phase, starting with a hell phase.

  • There will be an elimination in each phase.

  • Sinners
    win if 2
    Sinners
    are sent to heaven,
    Saints
    win if 2
    Sinners
    are sent to hell.

  • If a
    Saint
    is sent to hell, they will go to the Judged PT. However, if a
    Sinner
    is eliminated in Heaven or Hell phase, they will remain in the Sinners PT, unable to talk in the main thread.

  • If a
    Saint
    is sent to heaven, they gain access to the Martyr PT, unable to talk in the main thread.

  • When the number of
    Sinners
    and
    Saints
    among the Unjudged (alive) players is equal, a Judgement Day occurs, in which all Martyrs decide on a player to send to hell. If that player is a
    Saint
    , the
    Sinners
    win. If that player is a
    Sinner
    , the game moves to a hell phase.

  • The setup is also reproduced in full here. If I've contradicted the wiki page anywhere, it wasn't intentional, so please tell me either in the thread or in a PM.

Spoiler: Saint Role PM
Welcome, [Player]!

You are a
Saint
, and win if 2
Sinners
are sent to hell.

Confirm by replying with your role in a PM to me.


Spoiler: Sinner Role PM
Welcome, [Player]!

You are a
Sinner
, and win if 2
Sinners
are sent to heaven.

Confirm by replying with your role either in a PM to me or in your Sinners PT, located
here
.

I'm excited for this set, seems fun.

I feel it has to be town-sided, it's hard to see two mafia making it to hell before heaven, but I could be wrong.

Actually, thought of it as more maf-sided
A saint going to hell is a benefit as it means one less martyr and one closer to their secondary win con
A sinner going to hell is a problem for them as you'd expect
A saint going to heaven might as well not happen, it just makes the sinners closer to their 2nd wincon, and closer they are to that, more they can influence.
A sinner going to heaven literally is their main objective

Basically, only 1 option makes the saints get closer to their win-con, while 2 make the sinner closer to their win-con. a Saint going to heaven has both benefits and disadvantages for both teams. A: More Time for Saints to take out Sinners in hell B: Sinners get more influence and closer to their 2nd win-con.

But from the history- the setup seems town sided.
And yeah, saints definitely start with an advantage, so if they are good enough they can win pretty easily.
White-Flag is a fucking bitch for scum, everyone knows that.
But without white-flag yeah scum might actually have the advantage.
It's a pretty hard to balance setup idea, in all honesty.

grim: yeah this could be a mafia-sided setup. i think its a setup where townhunting is prob strictly better tho since half the game we want to find and vote townies.

Hello, travellers. I have wandered these lands for a long time; seen many sinners condemned, many saints saved. Perhaps I can be of assistance.
