BYOR 16: Game Over. Mafia 2 Wins.
« on: April 01, 2023, 04:35:34 pm »

You receive a short message from webadict.  “Hey guys, I found a website that does all the actions for me, and I’m lazy.”  You click the link and find that, indeed, all you need to do is type in your role name and click a few boxes…

After that, you find yourself looking at a small countdown timer, that shows “Now Loading... Waiting for previous game to end.”




This is BYOR 16 (A.K.A. Bring Your Own Role).  You can choose any role, whether it be a picture, short story, Wikipedia page, molecule, idea, noun, dream, favorite color, star athlete, cosmological sign…  You get the idea, I hope, and if you don’t just ask for a role, and one shall be provided to you at no additional cost.  Please include a short description, Wikipedia link, or video (preferably short), anything will suffice.  If there is no explanation, and I'm oblivious to the knowledge, you might be in a bit of trouble, as I casually make things up out of a hat.  I'll make up the actions for your role.  No matter what your role, no action or alignment will ever be guaranteed.

With that introduction out of the way, let's get down to the important bits.

This game will end signups on April 9th.

Game Theme:  Four-Squared

The following rules are in effect this game:
 - When you signup, you may choose up to 1 idea to be added to the flavor.
 - When you signup, you may choose up to 2 Action types to be added to your role from the following list:  [Super,  Copy,  Hide,  Bus,  Block,  Redirect,  Protect,  Kill,  Recruit,  Inspect,  Learn,  Watch,  Track,  Delay,  Motivate,  Randomize,  Gift,  Auto,  Evolve,  Vote]
 - All Players now have 3 Action Points per Phase that can be spent on Actions, instead of one Action per Phase.  Actions will list their Action cost instead of their Priority, which has been deprecated.
 - When you signup, you may send in Town or Mafia.  You will be 4 times more likely to receive this Alignment.

Because of this rule change, the Mafiakill has now been changed to the following:

Quote
{AP1} (Night, Mafiakill) Mafiakill [target]:  Kill the target.
Tags:  Kill

I suck at this game and the times I've had fun with it have all been very stupid. But no harm in a PTW.

...Maybe when Bring 3 is near complete I'll see how I feel about joining.

- 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.

Does this apply only to the person who got hammered, or does it apply to anyone who posted after the hammer?

Really hoping somebody puts this in their signature.

All players.  No more discussion is to be had after hammer has fallen.

Also, how do we provide the information mentioned in the OP (role, etc.)?  Do we post it in the thread?

You send the information to the game mod (webadict) via PM.

Note the 'My Messages' tab, and the little conversation sign underneath webadict's profile picture.

D’ya mind giving us a rundown of what to expect from each thing? They’re mostly self-explanatory, but I have learned not to make assumptions in your games, usually after the fact…

Look, we need to raise a psychopath who will murder God, we have no time to be spending on cooking.

the way your fingertips plant meaningless soliloquies makes me think you are the true evil among us.
