TWG 188: MAD17, Who's Role Is It Anyway? [POST GAME]
 
MAD17
The MU Champs Version


36 HOUR DAY PHASES
12 HOUR NIGHT PHASES

ROLES
13x Town
4x Mafia


Of the following 18 roles, 1 will randomly be discarded and the other 17 will be assigned at random to one player in the game without regard for the player's alignment. Each role is restricted to using its action only on the nights listed on the chart. The Mafia will be told which role is not present in the game.




Watcher: Learns who visited the target, but not what actions they did

Alignment Cop: Learns whether the target is town or mafia, but not their role

Vigilante: Kills the target

Doctor: Protects the target from kills on that night only (cannot self-protect)

Tracker: Learns who the target visited, but not what actions they did

Roleblocker: Prevents the target from using their action on that night only

Jailkeeper: Performs both a Doctor and Roleblocker action on the target, both protecting and blocking them (cannot self-protect)

Role Cop: Learns the role of the target, but not whether they are town or mafia

Jack of All Trades: Can use one of their abilities per night without repeats

Voyeur: Learns what type of actions were performed on the target, but not who did them

Macho: The player cannot be protected from kills

Strongman: Kills performed with Strongman cannot be stopped in any way (serves no purpose if the player is town)

Ninja: Night actions performed on the night that Ninja is used are invisible to investigative roles (Trackers, Watchers, and Voyeurs)

MECHANICS
  • Role reveals at death are alignment only. You will not learn a player's exact role when they die.
  • Usage of night actions is optional, but unused actions will be lost.
  • Mafia factional kills are optional. Mafia may submit a factional kill each night, but are not required to. However, starting night 5, the factional kill will be mandatory.
  • Mafia factional kills are assigned. They can be tracked, watched, or roleblocked.
  • Mafia share a factional Night Kill, which is a single standard shot for their faction.
  • Mafia members may perform the faction kill in addition to their regular action at the same time.

Role PMs
Please go to this page to find the exact wording of the Role PMs: https://www.mafiauniverse.com/forums...oles-Modifiers

FAQ [Specifics for this setup]

Q: What changes to the setup have been made since the practice games?

A: The Roleblocker role has been split into two roles, creating 18 total. One role will randomly be excluded from the setup, and the Mafia will be told which one it is. Also, both Tracker roles have gained Strongman modifiers.


Q: What does Cycle mean?

A: Cycle is MU terminology for the night(s) on which a role can act. This is an example of how some roles might appear in Role PMs and Role Cop investigations:

Jack of All Trades (x1 Doctor, x1 Jailkeeper, x1 Voyeur) | Cycle 1, 2, 3
Doctor | Cycle 2, 4
Alignment Cop | x1 Ninja | Cycle 2
Macho Watcher | Cycle 1


Q: What do the Voyeur results look like?

A: The Voyeur sees the type of action performed on the target, but not the exact action. There's four categories: Protection (Doctor), Manipulative (Roleblocker, Jailkeeper), Killing (Vigilante, Mafia Faction Kill), and Investigative (all others). The Voyeur does not see their own action in their results. This is a sample results PM: "the sun fan had Manipulative, Investigative, Killing done to them."


Q: What is the order of operations? What happens if a roleblocker targets a roleblocker?

ORDER OF OPERATIONS

Night actions are processed in this order:

Strongman kills
Roleblocks
Jails
Doctors
Bodyguards
Kills
Investigations
Backups

However, there is one important clarification: the order of operations lists Strongman Kills first because they are immune to blocks, and regular kills are listed ahead of investigative actions because investigative roles can witness killing actions, but this only means that the target is marked for death before other actions are processed. No deaths actually occur until after all actions have been processed. In other words, dying at night never stops a player's action from happening.

The other important pieces of information are that Roleblockers act before Jailkeepers and that those roles are capable of blocking another player who attempts to use the same action.

Q: Can Mafia players target their teammates with night actions?

A: Yes. The Mafia's faction kill cannot be used on a member of their own team, but all other actions (including Vigilante kills) may be used on members of their own team.


Q: Can Doctors and Jailkeepers self-target in order to protect themselves?

A: No.

Q: Which roles can self-target?

A: Only Watchers.


Q: Are the Strongman and Ninja actions limited only to the nights listed on the chart?

A: No. If a player is Mafia, they may use their Strongman or Ninja ability on any night.


Q: Can players be investigated while they are jailkept?

A: Yes. Jailkeep is a combination of roleblock and doctor, neither of which prevent investigations on the target.

...

ACTION FEEDBACK

These are the results you will get when you submit certain actions.

Non-investigative roles when they submit an action (they also receive this if they are roleblocked):

Quote:

Your action on Player A was received.
Investigative actions return results even if the target dies on the same night.

Actions that count as visits are counted as visits even if the actor dies on the same night.

Investigative roles (Tracker, Cop, etc.) when roleblocked:

Quote:

Your action on Player B did not return any results.
Trackers when tracking a person that didn't visit anyone (or if they targeted a Ninja):

Quote:

Player C did not visit anyone.
Watchers when watching a person that wasn't visited by anyone (or only visited by a Ninja):

Quote:

Player D was not visited by anyone.
Alignment Cop when investigating a town-aligned player (or a Godfather):

Quote:

Player E is Town
Watcher when watching a person that was visited by multiple people:

Quote:

Player F was visited by Player G, Player H, Player I

Town threw. This was actually a throw. I was in a constant state of despair watching each day phase pass. The only town players I would say actually did "good" were jessie, Kappa, and FG.

One great D0 lynch and two mechanical wolf kills and the rest of you still let town lose. Not gonna lie I was pretty fucking mad like, the whole time.

Kappa, you did actually really well given the situation you placed into. I hope you come back and play with us some more. You had some solid intuition this game.

Jessie, that was a great watcher use. MVP IMO.

GG to Roundbox, who legit pocketed me and laughed when I said I was too good to be pocketed

My only serious complaint is that the lack of effort from a sizable amount of people who have the gumption to sign up but not the time to post 5 times in 36 hours is making me question if playing these is even worth.

Well, that and Xel just not even trying to read posts or questioning why if Kappa was the wolf he killed the one person the easiest to sway instead of Xel who was saying he would blindly vote that slot but you know w/e

I sincerely don't think I did anything wrong, DBP
my auto-circle was perfect from the cocoa lynch onwards

I caught precarious for the right reasons and while I wasn't ramming it down people's throats (and I couldn't have done it without your clutch vote on him), I was the person who voted shadowgod first

what did I do wrong or do to not play well?

Shit happens when town absolutely refuses to be open to changing reads.
Was really nice to see kappa replace into not a good spot and immediately call roundbox out on his shit, but then he got completely ignored.

I mean I don't want to kick a dead horse or anything but deciding that everyone was townier then me doing a time period where I wasn't even doing anything, and sticking with it so hard you basically rendered my slot completely useless is still pretty bad. I aint even talking about the idea that I hate being voted for because too nice or whatever.

It seriously was you just tinfoiling me so hard that you fucked over a town for no reason.

I had fun playing. I am a little sad that town lost. Round played amazing as wolf in the end. I thought MML did pretty well at trying to be town in the end allthough early game he just looked too bad. Poptart you did alright imo its just you need to be more proactive. youll get the hang of it in the future.


This was my first forum mafia game. I am not used to how slow it goes xD.

I feel like since a lot of people play with the same people every time it becomes more of a personality gauge and it’s easier to go for the unknowns, just my personal perception here though

I'll answer with a story

on a different website, I recently subbed into a game where I found myself in wolfchat. I made a few posts, and then realized that I had been substituted into a slot where I was outed as a wolf

Nothing I said could've possibly mattered at that point.

While it wasn't confirmed, a lot of people had you in their Process of Elimination, and they weren't budging on it. Should they have been doing that? Yes, of course

but they weren't

that's all it was

I think this setup is actually pretty good for wolves. If a couple wolves dont die early this game becomes really hard. I dont think this game was wolf sided becasue town could have won so easily and im so sad they didnt but, I think town was in the advantage.

Anyways, I had three players not reaching my post requirement with EoD in 2 hours, and actually had a player ask me if they would die if insta were to reach at that moment, Made me pretty sad (and a bit peeved).

Long story short, I got fed up with the inactives and tried to FLEX-TAPE the solution that I thought wouldn't effect the gamestate. Unfortunately, it muddied up some reads... and that... was that.

ah, Precarious knew that n2 watcher was safe because that's what Cocoa was

you are probably better off claiming anything that a dead person was there, Precarious. You can easily narrow it down, and something like n1/n3 roleblocker (you can even say you roleblocked lar!) is a lot more believable

Re: TWG 188: MAD17, Who's Role Is It Anyway? [POST GAME]
 
Sunfan, you had a good town circle but still couldn't converge on the final wolf via reads. A PoE approach isn't bad but you have to convince other people to follow your will after you die. That didn't happen, so your reasoning in this respect did not sufficiently alter the game state.

Maybe this is isn't fair to leverage against you but I think town relied on you as a leader and IMO you fell a little short there.

Anyway, I have come to like this setup and would like to see it run again... since this game didn't really showcase it's mechanics too well.

This is more of an abstract thought, but I think the ability to rally people behind your cause, even if you have low confidence, is one of the most important skills in this game. There wasn't a whole lot of town leadership this game (suntan came close) and chaos took over.

Being correct doesn't matter if you can't get others to follow your will

This was actually one of my plans in the beginning. I wanted to lynch myself and get MML to vote round. It was just hard to convince.

Of course, but it's not a case of people blindly sleeping a leader; it's a leader sufficiently convincing other people that he is right.

I'm not suggesting that sunfan played poorly, but rather that he, along with most other town, were incapable of preventing the gradual downfall of town. And sunfan in particular was in a position to exert more influence in the right direction but it didn't happen.

There's a chance my perspective is blinded by frustration with the game as a whole, and that I might be misrepresenting sunfan's play. It's just, with kappa, jessie I could point to specific things they did that threatened the wolf team, and I have the perception that sunfan had fewer moments like that.

It's not a sunfan-specific thing by the way, I'm only saying this because he asked specifically.

I think being dead and seeing how the game progresses towards salvation or towards ruin can alter your perspective a little bit

thinking of my perspective from inside the game, it shouldn't be only sunfan that can lead a case against me to get me lynched
it seemed like people were getting complacent with their reads this game

Well no, it shouldn't be "just sunfan", I'm only talking about sunfan because he asked. He said, "but I had the game mechanically locked", to which I said "but town still lost because they didn't listen". That's all. If someone else asked I'd give them a proper answer as well.

Ideally every player exerts this assertive leadership style and pushes forward, towards the path they believe in. Town getting complacent 100% shut this game down. Kappa went against the grain and pushed for his own reads really hard but he lacked the ethos to be taken seriously (largely antori's fault). I know sheeping happens and not everyone has the answers but ideally several players are vocal and assertive about their beliefs.

I suppose the more general theme is, in my opinion, that having good ideas and good reads shouldn't be the main indicator of quality of play. Ideas and reads need to result in lynches. The impact of a player's play should be determined more in terms of outcome and consequence than of reasoning. (Not that good reads aren't admirable or valuable! But not sufficient)

That's all I guess

how did I play bad I legit don't understand

This is the post in question that I was giving an answer to

You didn't play bad, the wording in my original post was "played [well]"; the negation of that isn't "played bad" since there's also "played average", etc.

There are players who played flat-out bad but I'm not gonna go there

So my one big problem was a gave up too fast.

I think I let myself get too unmotivated when Xel said I 100% disagree. At that point I felt done and I couldnt win.

Next time even if it is a lost cause Ill die fighting :).

I know I made other mistakes and if anyone wants to point them out ill be happy. I want to get better. I only played for a little while but, I had fun.

I don't think it's been said yet but we spoke in dead chat how the wolf team thought I was the Voyeur and Charu explicitly told us that in big bolded lettering that Voyeur did not exist in this game.

That made my death not seem so bad.

One thing I did not like was two instas instead of taking time to discuss and form a plan. I understand that the players were inactive/not posting but you should always use the allotted time if there's no threat of immediate action.

Re: TWG 188: MAD17, Who's Role Is It Anyway? [POST GAME]
 
Okay so Ive never played with instas before. I fully understand why you should use as much time as your allotted for like a million and one reasons. For me and this was probably a bad idea but, I was trying to use insta as a way to say I know that insta can happen and im okay with it because im town.

people weren't solving

its very annoying

I understand that and how frustrating it might be, but there's other ways to be productive too. My comment isn't meant to target anyone other than the concept. If I were in that position I would at least give data points for discussion when people had the time to respond and perhaps elaborate on some reads more in-depth, but perhaps that's trying too hard.

Off-topic from above, I asked in the discord server where you guys were playing outside of here as I'd like to get back into being an active mafia/TWG player so I'll take any recommendations if you have them.

Probably part of the inactive problem too.

I agree, it's super annoying.

I disagree with DBP's bad town list completely.

The best thing wolves could have done in that situation was to lynch me from my stupid night action, and kill greg considering greg's town circle.
If we would have been alive or I made it out of the KiTB, then it would have been unquestionably GG.

Well done on the sketchy lynch roundbox, ya pulled it off.

Oh yeah, that did remind me how it amused me that no one thought the sudden votes on Xiz were not questionable.

Precarious wasn't even caught from that, it was something else completely.

It wouldn't be unfair / unheard of to say we lost the game because I'm such a stubborn ass hole. It'd be a fair comment, because the hindsight is literally slapping me in the face.

And now I have lost a bet with thesunfan, and that will never feel good.

This is part of the problem that I have tbh. I'm very anxious to voice my opinion so I just stay quiet as opposed to voicing my own thoughts. I'm gonna change that though. I hate the way I played the last two games and am disgusted with myself due to poor play. Maybe this is just a beginner having extreme high standards but I still think it's ridiculous that I'm still so anxious about voicing my thoughts. It could possibly be wolf anxiety (I HAVE rolled wolf 2/3 games I've played) and paranoia idk.

Just ranting like an idiot here. Ignore if you wish.
