Rules:

1. Follow the Forum Game Rules.
2. Post a minimum of 10 game related posts per active phase.
3. Fail to heed the former rules more than twice, and you will be subbed out or modkilled.
4. I can and might have to add and/or remove rules in the future. Except the first rule.
   Let’s just hope that I won’t have to use this rule.

General Mechanics

• This is an open setup: There is 1 Town Drunk, 1 Town Lunatic, 1 Town Hider, 6 Town Vanilla, 1 Mafia Fool, and 1 Mafia Claim Vigilante.
• Day Phases last 48 hours unless majority is reached early. Night Phases last 24 hours.
• All actions must be submitted in your role cards / role PMs.
• Mafia members may communicate through Discord during both phases.
• Factional attacks are mandatory and not assigned.
• The host will announce when XYLO occurs.
• The game starts when the player list is fully filled.

Special Mechanics

• Flips only show alignment and not roles.

Roles

You are a [Town] Drunk

Active: 1-Shot Paranoid Bar Owner
Once during night phase, you may activate your ability and roleblock everyone who visits you.

You win when all threats have been completely eliminated, and when at least 1 Town member is still alive.

You are a [Town] Lunatic

Active: 1-Shot Vigilante
Once during night phase, you may target another player and attack them.

You win when all threats have been completely eliminated, and when at least 1 Town member is still alive.

You are a [Town] Hider

Active: Weak Hider
Each night, you may hide behind a target. If your target is mafia, then you will die. If your target is town, then you will be untargetable by any night actions barring Strongman attacks on that night. If your target is town and attacked, both you and your target will die.

You win when all threats have been completely eliminated, and when at least 1 Town member is still alive.

You are a [Town] Vanilla

Passive: Vanilla
You have no abilities other than your vote and your voice.

You win when all threats have been completely eliminated, and when at least 1 Town member is still alive.

You are a [Mafia] Fool

Passive: 1-Shot Restless Spirit
Once during day phase, you are still allowed to vote in secret after having died in the game. This vote will be hidden from all VCs.

You win when all Town members have been completely eliminated, or when nothing prevents this from happening.

You are a [Mafia] Strongman 2-Shot Claim Vigilante

Active: Death Shot
Twice per game during night phase, you may target another player and send the host a post from the public thread from said player. If the message from that player truthfully claims aspects of their role, then you will attack that player with an unstoppable attack (AKA “Strongman”), which also bypasses roleblocks.

You win when all Town members have been completely eliminated, or when nothing prevents this from happening.

Vote Mechanics

• Use the latest voting format.
• Plurality: Whoever has the most votes at the end of a phase will die.
• Majority: At any point during day phase, whoever has >50% of all votes will die.
• [No Exe] is a valid vote, and may be hammered to end the day early.
• In case of a tie, a random player within the tie will be executed. However, if the tie includes [No Exe], then nobody will be executed.
• Self-votes are considered valid votes.
• Votes are locked in XYLO scenarios.

@Zone_Q11

If the message from that player truthfully claims aspects of their role, then you will attack that player with

If you said something like “Im the town hider, my ability lets me hide from Zone so he doesnt know where mr rolecard is during the night” would that apply (assuming they actially are town hider)

Also if someone just said “Im a PR” would that be enough for the claimvig or nah

[Litten]

every role should claim d1 in this setup lol

[Litten]

to reiterate
none of these roles are strong enough to justify not claiming to be confirmed town
this gives town a 25% to hit a scum d1 and vig a 28% to hit scum d1

[Litten]

all roles claim d1
left with
3 PR
6 VT
2 Mafia

D1: Execute one VT
N1: Shoot one VT, One PR dies due to factional

2 PR
4 VT
2 MAFIA

D2: EXECUTE VT
Night 2: Kill PR due to factional
1 PR
3 VT
2 Mafia

Which means they need to kill 4/6 VT with vig/execution to win in the most optimal situation

[Litten]

Not to mention, town would be planning for a strongman execution, where they would use the hider to get a clear, only if a mafia strongman was executed

[Litten]

in conclusion I don’t actually think this setup is balanced
right off the bat mafia is forced into a box with some VT where they need to execute most people inside the box to win

[Litten]

And since scum can never kill inside the box without throwing. 2 vt clearing themselbes win the game

[Litten]

oh wait nevermind I’m dumb
The claim vig isn’t a claim strongman
ignore me lmao

[orangeandblack5]

lmfao

[Litten]

I saw the words strongman and claim and stopped reading

No. It is not based on BotC. It is literally based on this:

There is a thing called 36 Stratagems.
This game is based on the 27th stratagem.

@YoubutWorse

Yes.

@YoubutWorse

Also if someone just said “Im a PR” would that be enough for the claimvig or nah

No. I will only react to “vig”, “hider”, “pbo”, and “VT” or anything that is basically their synonyms.

[Litten]

The bigger question I should be asking is, “what if I do it anyway”.
Let’s pretend that the power roles only claim that they are power roles. Let’s also pretend that the claim vigilante can target a PR who claims PR, even if it didn’t claim their role.

Starting Point:
3 PR
6 VT
2 Mafia

Let us assume everything goes the way mafia wants it to

D1 Execution: VT
N1: Claim Vig PR, Succesfully Kill Other PR, Vig kills VT

4 VT
2 Mafia
1 PR

D2 Execution: VT
Night 2: kill VT, claim vig PR

2 VT
2 Mafia

[Litten]

oh
so optimal play is for all PR’s to claim that they are PR’s and we land back to my previous scenario

[Litten]

Except it’s even worse cuz they can’t kill some PR’s lol

[Zone_Q11]

@Litten

oh

I’m not so sure claiming is the best option for the PRs.

@Litten

Except it’s even worse cuz they can’t kill some PR’s lol

Not without Claim Vig. Claim Vig bypasses both PBO and Hider.

[Litten]

claiming is the optimal play
it removes them from the POE
they cannot be claim vigged because they only stated that they were a PR
and even if it everything goes fine for mafia, mafia needs to have 4/6 of the VT to die to win
if a kill fails, they need to kill 5/6 of the VT
