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]

[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

[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.

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...
