ITAs in Zugbot

  • During an ITA session, you will be able to fire your ITA with /ITA [playername]. You must ping the bot (@Zugbot) in the post you fire your ITA.
  • You can only fire one ITA per post. Subsequent ITA commands in the same post will be ignored.
  • While Zugbot will announce the shot feedback, hosts are manually posting flips.
  • Shots on invalid targets will not be processed. For example, if you type “/ITA Chole @Zugbot” instead of “/ITA Chloe @Zugbot”, your shot will be ignored.
    • That said, shortened names are accepted if the input cannot refer to multiple players.

Silent ITAs

  • Zugbot supports Silent ITAs. If you have a Silent ITA, you can use it with /ITA [playername] in your role PM during an ITA session.
  • Wolves can proxy the Silent ITAs of other wolves through the Zugbot discord bot.

Viewing and Reordering your ITAs

  • You can view the ITAs you currently have by running /view in your role PM.
  • When you use an ITA, you will use the one that is first in your list.
  • You can reorder the public ITAs you have by running /reorder [index1] [index2] in your role PM.
    • This swaps the ITAs that are at index1 and index2.
  • You can reorder the silent ITAs you have by running /reorderSilent [index1] [index2] in your role PM.

Votecounts

Zugbot will not process the elimination, but it will still help post votecounts. Periodically, votecounts may automatically be posted. However, you can also use “/votecount” in your role PM to automatically post a votecount.

Note that there is a short cooldown on votecounts, so if you request a votecount when one was just posted, your request may be ignored.

Of course, do not spam votecounts.

Do not abuse the bot

Naturally, do not intentionally try to exploit or break the bot. As mentioned in the rules:

  1. ITAs this game will be partially automated – processing will be done by @Zugbot, but flips will be posted by the hosts. Attempting to manipulate or exploit automated ITA processing in any way is a modkillable rulebreak.

Night 0 Flavor

Hello, everybody, and welcome to the new FoL Council City Hall! This is our first official town meeting… or is it a city meeting? Planet meeting? Whichever one it is, welcome. I am your Prime Minister, May Flowers. With me today are our other Ministers of Education (Arete), Justice (Zugzwang), Finance (Ash), …goth Culture (tutuu), Health (Chloe), and Agriculture (Zone).

First of all, a quick runthrough on what’s happened since we’ve landed. The most interesting news you may have missed: we’ve discovered a unique material called Nyaluminum which exists only on this planet.

Nyaluminum is extremely valuable, as it grants special abilities to some who use it. Whether somebody can obtain or use Nyaluminum appears to be innate (as of right now), so look within your heart and your wallet to see if you can use Nyaluminum yourself!

Secondly, we are hoping to transition to a more democratic form of government. I know we’re a bit, uh, centralized right now, but we’re going to start smoothly transitioning into rule of the people. To start out, we’re going to hold several super-democratic Referenda to determine new laws and policies on Planet FoL! They’ll be revealed tomorrow. Get hyped!!!

That’s all for today. Return to your sleeping quarters for the night, and get ready for your new jobs in the morning!

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FOR ZOOMERS PROVIDED BY THE MINISTRY OF GOTH CULTURE

  • Nyaluminum is a special material that exists and gives you powers, you can obtain/use it through roles
  • Democracy soon; there will be votes every day to add/change rules

Day 1 Flavor

Hello, everybody, and welcome BACK to the remains of the new FoL Council City Hall! It seems that we’ve had… a bit of an accident, which the Ministry of Justice is currently investigating carefully to rule out foul play. Don’t worry — everybody is safe, but in light of this action, we’re making some changes.

First of all, we will be accelerating our schedule for democracy. The first thing we’re implementing is a continuous, anonymous vote as to whether we should go home. It’s all together or not at all, because we only have one spaceship, but if, at any point, over 50% of citizens want to leave, we all go. No need for sabotage! I expect the polls will be highly in favor of staying in our society at the moment, though.

Secondly, we have a couple additional referenda to present to you: a vote on what method of Nyaluminum refinement we should prioritize, and an election for the five members of the City Council, a task force which will do several very important government jobs.

Now, the big thing: we will be introducing a new justice system in light of the recent… suspicious acts of vandalism around town. Each time a crime is discovered, we will hold a public vote as to which player is guilty, tapping in to the wisdom of the crowds to find out who to jail. We’ll also be allowing anonymous tips at our Sabotage Hotline during the nights.

If things get any worse, we may be holding Windows for Comment, where all citizens can submit a form to accuse another of sabotage. We will be very carefully and deliberately sorting through these forms to determine which are reliable (todo: come up with justifications for throwing them out).

Thank you for coming to this meeting on such short notice. Let’s keep working hard to make Planet FoL strong!

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FOR ZOOMERS PROVIDED BY THE MINISTRY OF GOTH CULTURE

Event Announcement

Dear Valued Citizen,

Please note that the FoL Council is hosting an event today.

Agriculture is the foundation of any successful colony, as Planet FoL’s distance from Earth makes it impossible to rely on agricultural imports. While the introduction of genetically modified crops, such as Joybeans, has made it easier than ever to feed the populace, a balanced diet will require more than just a single crop. SHEEP are the perfect addition to our planet; in addition to potentially serving as a source of meat, they are also a reliable source of wool and cheese.

Sheep farming requires many colonists to work together, and working together requires synergy. As such, we’re introducing this event, which is all about finding synergy with your fellow colonists – essentially, you will answer a series of questions, with the goal of providing the same answer to your fellow colonists. To make it as easy as possible for everyone to get the same answer, each question is a basic trivia question about the events of a previous FAM, so there should be no chance of anyone getting the answers wrong.

You are invited to participate in:

SHEEP
Players: Unlimited
Chance of Death: None
Mobile-friendly: Yes
Duration: Until 2 hours before EoD
Discord Access: Not Required
Other Notes: N/A

How to Play:

  • You may NOT discuss this event publicly or privately until it has concluded.
  • Submit your answers in your role PM. To make it easy for hosts to process them, you should submit each response on a new line, WITHOUT numbering your responses.
  • For each question, you receive points equal to the total number of players who gave the same answer to that question – for example, if eight players say “FoL”, each of them receives 8 points. At the discretion of the hosts, substantively identical answers (e.g. “FoL” and “Fortress of Lies”) may be counted as the same.
  • Exception: If the tiebreaker is needed, it is scored based on actual correctness (absolute distance between your answer and the correct answer), not on matching other players.

How to Join:
Submit your answer in your role PM by 2 hours before EoD. Event results will be announced at some point during the night phase.

Questions:

  1. Who was the lead host of FAM 2036?
  2. Which site rule was broken more than thirty times during FAM 2037?
  3. FAM 2038 was the first FAM to be held on-site in an IRL location. Where was it held?
  4. How many game days did FAM 2039, the longest FAM of all time, last?
  5. What famous media property was FAM 2040 themed around?
  6. How many times did katze die during FAM 2041?
  7. Which of the various third party roles included in FAM 2042 resulted in the greatest number of bans due to postgame salt?
  8. How many players were in FAM 2043?
  9. What game was the FAM 2044 “Boats” event (infamous for killing more than a quarter of the playerlist) based around?
  10. What extremely unbalanced role resulted in FAM 2045 ending on day 2?

Tiebreaker: As of SoD1, how many messages had been sent in host chat?

hi ok so what happened i was going to make a post with a screenshot of celeste showing off my golden berries saying ‘this is my application to be a town leader’ but i thought to myself that i needed to get the summit golden berry which while technically feasible didn’t pan out (shoutout 1500M). and now I have a headache and my water bottle is far away but the idea of drinking water is anyways. so basically what all that means is that you all have to be nice to me forever?

but yeah hi everybody i’m so excited for FAM yayyyy it’ll be fun. we’re going to collectively do the best game of mafia ever.
