Pick your power mini-mafia [Concluded]

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Sort of a test run for this setup, we'll see if it works in a mini game. Works great in a large game.

5 townies
2 mafia

When you post to join the game, send me two numbers like this: (X,Y) with each being one of the numbers 1-5.

The X number closest to 1 that no one else picks gets to go first in the role draft. The Y number is for tiebreakers.

Example draft:

Player 1: 4,5
Player 2: 1,4
Player 3: 3,5
Player 4: 1,3
Player 5: 1,4
Player 6: 5,4
Player 7: 5,5

The draft order would be:
Player 3
Player 1
Player 6
Player 7
Player 4
Players 2/5 based on random (because their Y numbers are the same).

The reason that order is the way it is (and this is how this one works as well) is that the numbers that are picked singulary (X) go first, then the ones that are doubled (X), THEN the ones that are tripled (X).

Once the order is done, you will then attempt to pick a power role. If someone above you in the draft order has picked that role you will be vanilla. The mafia will be allowed to coordinate. The mafia can both kill and use their drafted power.

The roles:


Each night you may target a player. If successful, you will get a result of town or mafia.

Each night you may target a player. If successful, you will prevent any and all kill attempts on that player. You may NOT target yourself.

You are bulletproof. You are immune to night kills.

Each night you may target a player. If successful, that target will not be able to perform any night actions.

Each night you may target a player. If successful, you will see all players that player targeted that night.

Once during the game, you may PM me to stop a lynch.

If you are lynched you may post "Kill: X" (where X was on the wagon that lynched you). Both of you will then die at the end of that day.

The mafia get one kill, in addition to their powers.

[Diamondeye]

In, definitely.

[Csargo]

:soapbox:

[Double A]

No pirate role?

[Sasaki Kojiro]

No pirate role?

What would a pirate role be?

Is that "in" btw?

*****

The draft order will be posted in the thread before you try and pick your roles.

[Double A]

Oh sorry for whatever reason I though GH was hosting.

And yeah that was an in.

[Centurion1]

in sounds awesome

[atheotes]

IN :bow:

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

IN!

[Csargo]

I've sent in every combination of numbers that is allowed. You all should give up now, I've already won.

[Double A]

That's Cent's job, don't try to steal his thunder man. Not cool.

[johnhughthom]

Still a spot, isn't there? If so I'll take it.

[Csargo]

That's Cent's job, don't try to steal his thunder man. Not cool.

You don't know me man.

[Thermal]

It looks like the spots are full, but if someone mysteriously vanishes, I would like to back up, tar. :bow:

[Sasaki Kojiro]

DRAFT TIME

1. Csargo (4,1)
2. Diamondeye (1,4)
3. Centurion (1,5)
4. CDF (2,2)
5. atheotes (2,3)
6. Double A (5,2)
7. johnhugh (5,3)


Send in your role picks. Remember, if someone higher than you in the draft order took the role you pick, you end up vanilla.

[Double A]

So were 2-7 all done by random.org?

[Sasaki Kojiro]

No. There's a system like I explained, although it's confusing.

Csargo goes first because he was the only one to pick that x number.

Next we go to people who's X numbers were picked twice. Then the X numbers that got picked three times (no one).

1 < 2 < 5

That determined the order for 2-7.

[Double A]

No, I meant because 2-7 people all have one other person with the same X, and four of us had a corresponding Y.

[Csargo]

What happens if both numbers are the same (1,2) (1,2)?

[Sasaki Kojiro]

What happens if both numbers are the same (1,2) (1,2)?

Then random coin flip.


No, I meant because 2-7 people all have one other person with the same X, and four of us had a corresponding Y.

The Y is only used if people have the same X number. It's a tiebreaker.

[Double A]

Hold on...

1) Unique X
2) same x as 3
3) same x as 2
4) same x as 5
5) same x as 4
6) same x as 7
7) same x as 6

1) unique y
2) unique y
3) unique y
4) same y as 6
5) same y as 7
6) same y as 4
7) same y as 5

See? 2-3 had the same results, and 4-7 were on the same level.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Diamond eye is ahead of Centurion because 4 <5. For the same reason, the double 1's go before the double 2's who go before the double 5's.

[Double A]

Ok, now you lost me.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Here's the explanation from the game I got the setup from:


The reason that order is the way it is (and this is how this one works as well) is that the numbers that are picked singulary (X) go first, then the ones that are doubled (X), THEN the ones that are tripled (X).

Within X sets, the (Y) number is used for order just like the X is in the first parse. So that final set is:

Player 3: 3,5 <-- Single X
Player 1: 4,9 <-- Single X
Player 7: 15,14 <--- Double X, Y closer
Player 6: 15,15 <--- Double X, Y farther
Player 4: 1,7 <--- Triple X, Y single
Player 2: 1,4 <--- Triple X, Y same (random)
Player 5: 1,4 <--- Triple X, Y same (random)

[johnhughthom]

System seems simple enough to me. I guess being last means i don't have to worry about picking a power, I'll just get the one nobody wants... Placing on list has no bearing on being mafia/town right?

[Sasaki Kojiro]

I random.org'd the mafia.

[Double A]

I have an idea: you can do the math.

There, how's that sound?

[Renata]

_)(&@#_(*&@#w(*%& I keep missing the minis! grumble, grumble, cranky, grr

[Double A]

I choose...

PIKACHU!

[Centurion1]

Are you drunk?

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Roles sent out.

It is now DAY.

Day ends 2:00 EDT on saturday februrary 20th. Whoever has the most votes will be lynched, coinflip in the case of a tie.

[Diamondeye]

vote: Csargo

The only one above me and he picks bulletproof? Scum.

[Centurion1]

Are you drunk?

*sigh* read the thread.

i also chose bulletproof. who wouldnt. Vote:csargo

[Csargo]

vote: Csargo

The only one above me and he picks bulletproof? Scum.

Don't be mad at me for being awesome at picking random numbers. :smug:

[johnhughthom]

Surely picking bulletproof would indicate he is not mafia as none of the pickable talents are kill abilities?

vote :Centurion1

[Centurion1]

unvote ; vote: abstain.

good ppoint why would mafia worry about night kills lol.

[johnhughthom]

It could be a clever move though... Make us think he isn't mafia.

edit: though I suppose he wouldn't be sure Diamondeye would try to pick bulletproof. Of course he and Diamondeye could be scum trying to make us think they both wanted a power useless to scum.~:dizzy::shrug:

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Vote: Csargo


..... I choose Bullet proof too... :bigcry: I was going to chose the governor one too, but I thought that everyone above me would scramble for it.......


Plus, why would mafia choose bullet proof? To deny it from a townie, thus assuring them they can night kill us all. It makes a lot of sense actually.

[Diamondeye]

We lynch Csargo.

If he is guilty, Johnhughthom is most likely his partner.

If he is innocent, Centurion is most likely mafia.

[Csargo]

Vote:Diamondeye

Doesn't make sense at all.

[Centurion1]

We lynch Csargo.

If he is guilty, Johnhughthom is most likely his partner.

If he is innocent, Centurion is most likely mafia.

you remind me of me last night mi amo.

Vote: diamondeye

[atheotes]

Bulletproof is good for townie because it ensures his survival through nights. It will be useful for the mafia because they dont want to waste a night kill and more importantly they dont want the townies to get it. Having that role alone is not proof of anything...
I initially thought Centurion's vote on Csargo was for kicks...apparently not. Cent is being wishy-washy and has put someone in the lead for the second time with no proper reason.
Vote: Centurion1

I think you should vote DiamondEye.

[atheotes]

I think you should vote DiamondEye.

why so?

[Csargo]

why so?

BECAUSE I SAID SO THAT'S WHY >:(

Because he's trying to lynch me for no other reason than me being able to pick first. Since he can't night kill me, he's trying to get me lynched.

you are tied in votes with Centurion and Diamondeye... You have a 66% chance of staying alive. and Double A is yet to vote. More importantly you can switch your vote and save yourself. You dont really need my help to stay alive.
For me Centurion's behavior is more scummy than anybody else. so my vote stays.

I agree - I think Cent is a more solid lead now with that bandwagoning tendency...

unvote; vote: Centurion1

[Centurion1]

im just a vanilla townie. vote for who you will then. my teeth hurt im not going to be on much.

Centurion was Vanilla town


It is now night, orders due 12:00 eastern sunday

[Double A]

Sorry, I was busy playing the Bad Company 2 demo... er I mean doing homework.

[Centurion1]

vote diamond eye he is total scum.

[Diamondeye]

Bovine... yeah you know the deal.

Csargo and CDf are the baddies.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Bovine... yeah you know the deal.

Csargo and CDf are the baddies.

bah, Am not. Csargo probably is though.

[Csargo]

Bovine... yeah you know the deal.

Csargo and CDf are the baddies.

Interesting that you switched your vote off if you thought I was a baddie.

[Diamondeye]

Interesting that you switched your vote off if you thought I was a baddie.

I said that you were most probably the opposite of Cent. I am keeping with that hypothesis.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

johnhughthom Town Tracker, has been shot.

Begin day 2.

Day 2 ends 2:30 EDT monday.

[Centurion1]

I said that you were most probably the opposite of Cent. I am keeping with that hypothesis.

your hypo is already wrong since you said i was scum.

at least you guys didnt lynch a power role, thank god.

[Csargo]

Vote: DiamondEye

[Double A]

I have thought long and hard on the bulletproof WIFOM... if I were mafia I'd pick or claim it to throw the town off, or get my partner to attack me so that way I'd look innocent (which probably would happen tonight). But that's just me. But anyway, vote: Cent

Reasons already mentioned.

I am willing to go with diamond on this.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Final vote count:

Csargo: 2 (Diamondeye, CDF)
Diamondeye: 1 (Csargo)


Csargo has been lynched. He was the Bulletproof Townie

It is now night. Orders in 24 hours.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

gah.

[Csargo]

Good game mafia.

[atheotes]

:wall: missed the vote. Looks like someone succeeded in the getting the bulletproof townie lynched.

so now it is 2 vesrus 2... the game not being over means we have town power role (s). the game will be won/lost by the decision of the pro-town roles tonight and a coin flip during the day perhaps :thinking:

[Sasaki Kojiro]

I won't flip a coin for a 2 mafia vs 2 town scenario. That would be mafia victory, unless the town had the roles required for a draw.

[Diamondeye]

So the mafia lurked us to death... Great.

Sorry town :shame:

[Centurion1]

dear god.

[atheotes]

I won't flip a coin for a 2 mafia vs 2 town scenario. That would be mafia victory, unless the town had the roles required for a draw.

our best bet is a draw...Gah

So the mafia lurked us to death... Great.

Sorry town :shame:

:inquisitive:
:juggle2:

[Renata]

:popcorn:

(Hey, where'd the popcorn smily go?)

[Double A]

There never was one, I always use the one from TWC.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

CDF has been shot. He was Vanilla Town.

Diamondeye has been shot. He was Vanilla Town.

Atheotes, Mafia Vengeful Lynchee, and Double A, Mafia one-shot Governor, WIN!


************************

1. Csargo (4,1)--Bulletproof
2. Diamondeye (1,4)--Bulletproof (-->vanilla)
3. Centurion (1,5)--Bulletproof (-->vanilla)
4. CDF (2,2)--Bulletproof (--> vanilla)
5. atheotes (2,3)--vengeful
6. Double A (5,2)--governor
7. johnhugh (5,3)--tracker

I had to laugh at the draft :laugh4:

Game ended up being balanced towards the mafia. I thought there might be a problem with having both the vengeful and the governor, but I figured the mafia wouldn't get both of them or the town would stop a nightkill somehow.

But then four of the townies went for bulletproof, Csargo was revealed as bulletproof in the first post, and john was shot night one :laugh4:

[Centurion1]

yeah the idea of bulletproof was just so attractive.

[Double A]

:laugh4:

All four of you guys went for the same pick?

[Centurion1]

ut ego said. adepto adsuesco assuesco is.

disclaimer: Gh i will never ever say anyhthing bad in latin though of course i learned the curses first.

[atheotes]

lol :laugh4:
i thought only 3 of them went for bullet proof :laugh4:
whats worse than 4 of them going for bulletproof, they were peeved at not getting it and go Csago lynched :laugh4:
easiest victory ever. we did not get a single vote on us. Double made no valid votes and i voted only once.

Only if the townies had picked differently it could have been very interesting.
Nice set up Sasaki. You should try it again sometime. :2thumbsup:

[Sasaki Kojiro]

I want someone to run this in a bigger game.

At least the next time it's run people will think about what the person above them probably picked :p

Then we can have 2-5 all go for tracker instead.

[Double A]

:laugh4:
