TWG 188: MAD17, Who's Role Is It Anyway? [GAME THREAD]

[Charu]

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.

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.

REPLACEMENTS

[I really need some]

[Charu]

PLEASE DO NOT POST UNTIL 8/8/19 10AM SERVER TIME

[Charu]

ALL PM'S SENT, IF YOU DID NOT GET ONE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

[Charu]

Before the game starts proper, I did not state in the signups or the first post here in regards to post requirements.

Assume that it's 5-7 posts, please. No one likes playing a game where someone joins up... and then actively doesn't participate. I'd like to avoid having to scurry around and harass the offending players to actually play their game.

Assume any players with less than 5 posts to get ..."warned"... before the phase is over. And if they bring a valid reason in for which they can not reach this requirement, I'll state, in thread, that they're pardon'd. A valid reasoning being they could not, in any way, post at all. (So extreme circumstances)

Any other will be immediately replaced AFTER EoD, and if I can't find one, modkilled.

I repeat, I'll REPLACE FIRST... MODKILL SECOND.

Please enjoy this setup fam, it's pretty fun and I hope you all will find enjoyment as well. For those that are familiar with this setup because of a season of champs over at Mafia Universe, then I'm glad I'm able to provide with more practice before your Wild Cards and Finals.

Cocoa, I have a word of advice moving forward
I'll give u a d0 pass for today, you have my word that I won't push you
I want to see you try to get at least 5 reads by the end of the day

You were starting to do that last game, but I think, even if its really tough, having an idea on a little bit under 1/3 of the game will help you since you've felt especially lost these past few games

Good to see you back! I know this is super random but I used to live in Bel Air and was one of Coach Paye's first students. Tell him Chris says hi

[roundbox]

henlo gang

[DaBackpack]

Coach Paye is so fucking cool. One time while I was waiting for a bout and he sat next to me and we talked about Street Fighter 2 and DnD. And how he was able to leave his IT job to focus on the fencing club was really inspiring to me. I'd like to visit the club sometime but I'm a bit far atm.

[DaBackpack]

I only got to E2010 classification and an 8 epee referee certification but of for whatever reason I was able to join that club again I would keep trying

[DaBackpack]

man now I'm excited and nostalgic

I hope his son is doing well these days

[DaBackpack]

He and his ex-wife built a kingdom-themed playroom partition for his kid in a corner of the club by the office and it was badass af

[Funnygurl555]

the number of people's sigs i'm in makes me very happy
