Thread: Pick your power [Concluded]

  1. #1

    Default Pick your power [Concluded]

    Larger version of the setup run here previously:

    https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showt...wer-mini-mafia

    3 mafia
    14 townies

    Before the game, each player sends in two numbers like this: (X,Y) with each being one of the numbers 1-11.

    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.

    Check the link about for a full discussion of how it works. A bit confusing.

    You can either send me one role, or two roles.

    If you send me 1 role, you will get that role if no one above you on the draft list has taken it. If someone has, you will be vanilla. See the pyp mini game where Csar picked bulletproof at number 1 and the next three players all picked it too and ended up vanilla.

    If you send me 2 roles, you will get the first if no one else below or above you has taken it, and the 2nd if no one above you has taken it.

    So obviously, if you are high up you are more inclined to send just one role.


    NEVERMIND too confusing, just send in one role choice.

    Possible role list (subject to change because I have to think about the balance):

    It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

    I will start the game with 14. Same number of mafia, but I will add two masons.

    Will post the draft order in a bit and pm the mafia + masons with their quicktopics. Send in your draft choice once you see your number.

    ATPG: (3,3)
    Arpeggiate: (8,4)
    Beskar: (1,1)

    Yaropolk: (4,1)
    Johnhugh: (4,2)
    Romanic: (5,1)
    pinman (5,2)
    Caesar: (7,3)
    YLC: (7,9)
    Double A: (6,4)
    CDF: (6,3)
    Death is yonder (6,3)
    Yaseikhaan: (no numbers sent)

    Curse you Andres, I went "1" because I thought no one else would be 'stupid' enough to go for it.

    Looks like you thought the same as me.

    Gah, Pinman picked 5.

    I have a question, I'll post it here for the benefit of everyone.

    If you send me 2 roles, you will get the first if no one else below or above you has taken it, and the 2nd if no one above you has taken it.
    Do I get my first pick if someone else took it as a second pick?

    hmm, I think the rules are vague right now.

    -edit-

    If you send one pick, you get it if no one above you has selected it with their single pick. If they have it on either of their double pick then you get it.

    No that's wrong I think...

    Screw the whole system, ONE PICK ONLY.

    To clarify my question, would I get the AwesomeSkill in the following scenario?

    Player 1 (someskill)
    Player 2 (someskill, someskill)
    Romanic (AwesomeSkill, someskill)
    Player 3 (someskill, someskill)
    Player 4 (someskill, AwesomeSkill)
