Pick your power mini-mafia [Concluded]

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:

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

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.

Oh sorry for whatever reason I though GH was hosting.

And yeah that was an in.

in sounds awesome

IN :bow:

IN!

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

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

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

You don't know me man.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

Then random coin flip.

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

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.

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.

Ok, now you lost me.

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

Quote:

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)

---

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?

I random.org'd the mafia.

I have an idea: you can do the math.

There, how's that sound?

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

I choose...

Are you drunk?

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.

vote: Csargo

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

Quote:

*sigh* read the thread.

i also chose bulletproof. who wouldnt. Vote:csargo

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

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

vote :Centurion1

unvote ; vote: abstain.

good ppoint why would mafia worry about night kills lol.

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:

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.

We lynch Csargo.

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

If he is innocent, Centurion is most likely mafia.

Vote:Diamondeye

Doesn't make sense at all.

you remind me of me last night mi amo.

Vote: diamondeye

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

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

Vote Count:

centurion: 3 (johnhughthom, atheotes,diamondeye)
Diamondeye:2 (Csargo, centurion)
Csargo: 1 ( CDF)

Unvote: Csargo, Vote: diamondeye


ties are very exciting.

Final Vote Count:

centurion: 3 (johnhughthom, atheotes,diamondeye) Lynched by random.org
Diamondeye:3 (Csargo, centurion,CDF)


Centurion was Vanilla town


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

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

johnhughthom Town Tracker, has been shot.

Begin day 2.

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

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

Vote: DiamondEye

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

Cent was already lynched.

*facepalm*

Vote:Csargo

Reasons already mentioned.

Vote: csargo


I am willing to go with diamond on this.

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.

gah.

Good game mafia.

: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:
