Bay 12 Games Forum

 - You must send in a role when you sign-up.
 - Days are 72 hours long.  Weekends only count for 24 hours.  Extensions are reserved for extreme situations.
 - Nights last 24 hours or whenever all actions are sent in and processed.  You MUST send in your action(s) (or send in that you're doing no action), or you will assumed missing.
 - No PMing to anyone but me.
 - No Quoting PMs from the mod.  You may paraphrase your PM, but if you break this rule, you will be banned from future games I run.
 - Semi-hammers in effect.  If a player receives a majority of votes, the Day ends and the player is chosen for execution immediately.  If you accidentally post something after the hammer, you MUST edit your post and remove all content.
 - Official Votecounts will be posted at least once every 24 hours, though more will be attempted.
 - There may be optional Post Restrictions.  If you wish to have a Post Restriction, you may say as such when sending a role.  Post Restrictions will typically award bonuses for completion, as opposed to negatives for failing.
 - I cannot answer questions about a player's role unless that player's role is available to be seen (e.g. Roleflips.) I cannot answer questions about your role in thread. I can, however, answer generic questions. I will simply ask you to rephrase the question, if I deem the question is bad.
 - Please vote in Red (bold is optional). Mamobo will be watching, and it’s very partial to it.

Common questions:

Q. What is a Cycle/Phase?
A. A Cycle is a Day and Night Phase. There are generally two Phases in a Cycle.

Q. Can I use more than one ability during a Phase?
A. You can spend any number of Action Points that you have on Actions, so long as the total number of Action Points is less than or equal to your total number of Action Points.

Q.  Can I use the same Action during a Phase?
A.  If you have enough Action Points to use it.

Q. Can I self-target?
A. Not unless the action specifically states that you can. It is now labeled [target/self] or [self] for easy viewing!

Q. Can I target 2 or more people?
A. Only if stated in the action with [target x(some number)] or [target1] [target2] … [targetN].

Q. If my action doesn't have a Phase to be used in, can I use it any time?
A. Yes!

Q. Can I Mafiakill and use an ability on the same Night?
A. This counts as using two abilities, so not unless you are allowed to use two abilities.

So, let’s see an example Action:

{AP3} (1-Shot, Night) Inspect-o-tron 2500 [target]:  You fire up the Inspect-o-tron 2500, Learning the target’s Name, Role, and Alignment.  If the target is Mafia, this Action is Refunded.
Tags:  Inspect, Learn

{AP#} now refers to the number of Action Points it takes to use this Action.  (In this case, 3!)
(1-Shot, Night) means that this Action can only be used once and during the Night Phase.
Inspect-o-tron 2500 is the Action Name.  This is typically just for flavor, but certain Action may use it.
[target] means that this Action must be used on another Player.
The Tags listed below are ways of grouping this Action. A common Tags will be listed below.

Common Tags:
Super,  Copy,  Hide,  Bus,  Block,  Redirect,  Protect,  Kill,  Recruit,  Inspect,  Learn,  Watch,  Track,  Delay,  Motivate,  Randomize,  Gift,  Auto,  Evolve,  Vote

This section has changed!

This game will now accurately model Natural Action Resolution.  Essentially, any time actions would interfere with others, NAR takes effect, other all Actions interact with each other normally.  If, failing this, the Actions still cannot be resolved, all offending actions fail.  (E.g.  Two Roleblockers blocking each other will have their actions fail.)

If a player is not a viable target at the time they are actioned, the action fails. Players will be notified of this failure. Any limited shots will be refunded if an action is blocked or fails.

Quick Q & A for alignments:

Q. Does the Mafia have a kill they can use at Night?
A. Yes. It is called the Mafiakill.  It costs 1 Action Point.  It is available to all members of the Mafia unless otherwise stated.  The Mafiakill would be an Action equivalent to the following:
{AP1} (Night, Mafiakill) Mafiakill [target]:  Kill the target.
Tags:  Kill

Q. Does the SK/Cult have a built-in kill/convert?
A. No. No other alignment besides Mafia has any group/alignment ability available to them.

You are given one of these 13 alignments when the game starts. Usually, it will be Town, but you might be lucky!

Alignment: Town
Wincon: You win when all Anti-Town factions are dead and at least one Town member is alive.

Alignment: Mafia
Tag:  Anti-Town
Group Ability:  One member of this group can use the Mafiakill ability at Night.

Alignment:  Survivor
Wincon:  You win if you are alive when the game ends.

Alignment:  SK

Roles: The basic information about available town roles will be known. However, I will only give a general description of each role that will give an indication of what the role can do. More specific information will be given in role PMs as necessary. This means you will not know the specific rules of many of the roles, even if you know what they do. There may also be variations on the town roles, both within a game and between games.

Scum and 3rd party role information is not going to be posted in the thread.

All players are Town Aligned unless noted otherwise in their Role PM.

Quoting the Mod without permission results in a Modkill and a ban from the next game I run.

PMs are not allowed unless your Role specifically allows it.

Days will go for 72 hours (Ignoring weekends) or until everyone has voted. As the game goes on, the Days will become progressively shorter.

Night will go for 24 hours. If you wish to perform no Action, please send that in.

Extensions: There will be NO Extensions for this game in order to keep things moving, except in certain special circumstances.

Shortens: Shortening the day can be done by Hammering. Please use this option.

All votes should be colored red and bold to make it easy for me to spot them. Just kidding, Mamobo does all the work.

In the event of a tie, evil forces will steer your hands. The Evil team(s) control the execution.

Speaking While Dead: The dead may post once after they have died to comment on their death. They may not provide any information about the game in this post. After this, any posting in the game before it has ended will result in a one game ban from future games. Repeated abuse, or posts that have a major impact on the game, can result in a permaban from any future games.

Scum, Coven Witches, and some third parties will have special chat areas on Discord. I will PM the appropriate link to you at the start of the game or when you die.

There is no Dead Chat for this game, since coming back from the dead is possible.

Event Order: Stealing the Natural Action Resolution. It appears to do the actions fairly well, so I'll snag it.

Priorities: Just as a courtesy, here's a good list of night action priorities with the typical type of Action. Abilities will list their priority.
(P-1) Priority -1 - "Super" Abilities
(P0) Priority 0 - Copy
(P1) Priority 1 - Hide
(P2) Priority 2 - Bus
(P3) Priority 3 - Block
(P4) Priority 4 - Redirect
(P5) Priority 5 - Protect
(P6) Priority 6 - Fast Miscellaneous
(P7) Priority 7 - Kill
(P8) Priority 8 - Recruit
(P9) Priority 9 - Inspect
(P10) Priority 10 - Slow Miscellaneous
(PT) Triggered - Reactive

During the Day, Abilities have their own Priorities:
(PI) Priority Immediate - Happen immediately
(PDE) Priority Day End - Happens at the end of the Day

Ability Tags: Abilities will be Tagged with important easy-to-understand information on the Type of Ability it is (e.g. Block, Protect, Track, etc.)

Also, not all roles require the player to leave the house. These Actions will be Tagged as Mental, in addition to their normal Tags.

Pick your favorite character from a book, movie, or TV show. (i.e. Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Harry Potter, Pikachu, etc.)
Pick an attack, spell, or special move from an anime or video game. (i.e. Kamehameha, Meteor, Time Stop, etc.)
Pick an object (Light Bulb, B-52 Bomber, Nanomachines, etc.)
Pick a place (Stonehenge, Paris, Texas, etc.)
Pick a person (George Washington, Leonardo Da Vinci, Genghis Khan, etc.)
Pick a silly combination (A Burning Waffle House off I-95, Ten Space Marines Playing My Little Pony, Freeze Tag But With Giant Hands, etc.)

Hopefully, these ideas might help you think of something.

 - No PMing to anyone but me, the mod.
 - No Quoting of the Mod in relation to PMs. You are free to quote anything in the thread. You may paraphrase your PM, but if you break this rule, you will be penalized.
 - Semi-hammers in effect. Days last on a soft 72 hours, unless a majority is voting for any player or No Lynch. If a player is hammered, there is to be no more talking. If you accidentally post something after the hammer, you can and should edit out the post.
 - Official Votecounts will be posted once every 24 hours.
 - Nights last 24 hours or whenever all the actions are sent in. If you do not wish to action, please send a PM stating so.
 - Weekends count for 24 hours.
 - RULE CHANGE: There are no Extensions allowed.
 - There may be Post Restrictions. These should not interfere with gameplay.
 - I cannot answer questions about a player's role unless that player's role is available to be seen (e.g. Roleflips.) I cannot answer questions about your role in thread. I can, however, answer generic questions. I will simply ask you to rephrase the question, if I deem the question is bad.

Common questions:
Q. What is a Cycle/Phase?
A. A Cycle is a Day and Night Phase.

Q. Can I use more than one ability during a Phase?
A. Not unless your role specifically states as such.

Q. Can I self-target?
A. Not unless the action specifically states that you can. It is now labelled [target/self] or [self] for easy viewing!

Q. Can I target 2 or more people?
A. Only if stated in the action with [target x(some number)].

Q. If my action doesn't have a Phase to be used in, can I use it any time?
A. Yes!

Q. Can I Mafiakill and use an ability on the same Night?
A. This counts as using two abilities, so not unless you are allowed to use two abilities.

Stealing the Natural Action Resolution. It appears to do the actions fairly well, so I'll snag it.

Just as a courtesy, here's a good list of night action priorities
Priority -1 - "Super" Abilities
Priority 0 - Copy
Priority 1 - Hide
Priority 2 - Bus
Priority 3 - Block
Priority 4 - Redirect
Priority 5 - Protect
Priority 6 - Fast Miscellaneous
Priority 7 - Kill
Priority 8 - Recruit
Priority 9 - Inspect
Priority 10 - Slow Miscellaneous
Triggered - Reactive

ADDENDUM: I will now be placing a priority order on your Night actions. These should now be listed as P{-1 - 10}, with Priority -1 being the fastest, and Priority 10 being the slowest. They should roughly line up with the actions above, but exceptions might be made. Triggered abilities are actions that trigger on the action resolution step that activates the ability.

ADDENDUM: If a player is not a viable target at the time they are actioned, the action fails. Players will be notified of this failure. Any limited shots will be refunded if an action is blocked or fails.

ADDENDUM: I may add tags, to help easily identify specific types of actions. This will likely not matter to most people

Everyone is assigned a role at the start of the game. Three additional roles will be added that can be interacted with as "Middle Roles". The roles can be targeted by some roles.
Game starts at Night. 24 Hour Night. All players action and then the game starts.
At the end of the Night, your role may have shifted. Your goal is to try to figure out what that role is and win by its Alignment.
Day lasts for 72 Hours or until everyone agrees to vote.
All players vote secretly at the end of the Day.
Players with the most votes are killed, ties kill all players, as long as each player has at least 2 votes. If any Werewolves are killed or no Villagers are killed and there are no Werewolves, the Villagers win. If no Werewolves are killed and a Villager is, the Villagers lose.

Addendum:
If a regular Werewolf has no other teammate, they may view a Middle Role.

Notes:
Roles that change alignment, such as the Paranormal Investigator or Nostradamus, affect the players that hold those roles at the end of the game.

Villagers win if at least one Werewolf is killed. If there are no Werewolves, wins if no Villagers are killed.
Werewolves win if no Werewolves are killed, and no Tanners are killed.
Tanners win if they are killed. If a Tanner is killed, the Werewolves lose.
Anti-Villagers win with the Werewolves. If there are no Werewolves, wins with the Villagers.
