M-FM Hunger Games
An M-FM for 20 players
Hosted by Poriomania and Citrus

After hashing it out on IRC chat, Citrus and I have decided to revamp this M-FM. This M-FM has a unique mechanic and fun flavor.

Weapons

At the beginning of the game, 25 weapons will be presented publicly. Each weapon grants a different power (or lack thereof) when wielded and begins the game in the Cornucopia. When a player picks up a weapon, he or she learns its normal abilities immediately via a mod PM. Players may not drop their weapons unless an ability says otherwise.

If a player is not wielding an weapon (either because they were allowed to drop their weapon by an ability or because their weapon was knocked off), that player MUST immediately pick up and wield an weapon. If a player, for any reason, is not wielding a weapon and cannot pick one up, that player becomes unarmed and immediately dies in the harsh reality of the Hunger Games. When a player is killed (by lynch or killing action), that player's weapon will be returned to the Cornucopia. If a weapon is destroyed, it can no longer be wielded.

At the beginning of the game (Day 0), a Weapon Draft will occur in the Cornucopia. A chosen player (chosen randomly) will choose a weapon from the Cornucopia pool and wield it (gaining that weapon's abilities and removing that weapon from the Cornucopia) by posting Take: WEAPONNAME in the thread, then that player will choose another player by posting Select: PLAYERNAME in the thread. This process will repeat, in popcorn style, until all players are wielding weapons or until all weapons are worn, whichever comes first; when this happens, Day 1 will begin.

If a player has not chosen a weapon within 12 hours of being selected to draft, that player will pick up a weapon at random. Players are recommended post public weapon draft lists, so when their turn comes up they will automatically pick a weapon. At the beginning of each day, if one or more players is alive but not wielding a weapon and there is at least one weapon in the Cornucopia in play, a Weapon Draft will occur. This weapon draft will only involve living players that are not currently wielding a weapon, but is otherwise identical to the Weapon Draft that occurs on Day 0.

Soft Lynching

Ever had a game where the person you wanted to lynch was at L-1, the time runs out and you never get to lynch that player at all? This is where soft lynching enters the equation.

A soft lynch occurs when someone is at half the regular lynch count (for example, it it was 7 to lynch, then the soft lynch count would be at 4). When someone is at soft lynch, when the deadline occurs, the player with the most votes under soft lynch will be lynched. (Again, another example: If two people are at L-2 and L-3, respectively, and deadline occurs, the player at L-2 will automatically be lynched).

Mafia Factional Abilities

Mafia have daychat (they can talk during the Day) and a factional weapon shattering ability (they target someone, their weapon breaks and they have to pick up a new one).

Weapon Role Cards

Some weapons may be a combination of two or more role cards.

Vanilla
You have no abilities.

Investigative

Sheriff
You may target a player each Night and learn their alignment.

Investigator
You may target a player each Night and learn what their weapon does.

Detective
You may target a player each Night and learn who they targeted that Night.

Lookout
You may target a player each Night and learn who targeted that player that Night.

Neighbor
You share a chat with X and you can talk in here both Day and Night. Both of you are anonymous.

Spiritcaller
You may target a dead player each Day and at Night they may write an article that will be displayed publicly the next Day.

Journalist
You may target a player each Day (including yourself) and at Night they may write an article that will be displayed publicly the next Day.

Architect
You may target two players each Day, and you will masonize them, both of them gaining an anonymous night chat until the next Day ends. You may listen in the conversation.

Innocent Child
You will be publicly revealed as town. If a mafioso gets this role then this role does nothing.

Protective

Doctor
You may protect a player from a Nightkill each Night. Protected players aren't notified of their being healed, and doctors aren't notified that their doctor protection is successful.

Jailor
You may target a player each Night and jail them, roleblocking and protecting them from all Nightkills made that Night.

Bodyguard
You can choose a player at Night and guard them. If that player would die that Night, you die instead.

One-Shot Bulletproof
You have an autovest.

Roleblocker
You may target a player each Night and roleblock them, preventing them from using their abilities. Roleblocks aren't informed unless someone takes an action.

Bus Driver
You may target two players each Night and swap their positions.

Redirector
You may target a player each Night and redirect all actions that target your target to another player of your choice.
Example: Player X targets Player A. Player Y redirects Player A to Player B. Player X will target Player B.

Killing

Daykiller
You may kill a player during the Day by PMing me a target. You have one shot of this. This will immediately reveal their role, and when this happens the vote count will be reset and you will have an additional 24 hours to vote.

Veteran
You may go on alert and kill anyone that targets you that Night. You may go on alert two times. This will also make you die if anyone attacks you, however.

Suicide Bomber
You may target a player each Night and kill them and yourself. This also shatters the weapon this ability is placed on.

Gunsmith
You may target a player each Night and give them a one-shot vig. If you're mafia, you can't give this to mafia players.

Misc.

Ascetic
You cannot be targeted by non-killing abilities.

Governor
You may target a player during the Day and, if they are lynched, you may choose to no lynch. You may change your targets up until someone is lynched.

Weapon Switcher
You may exchange this weapon each Night with a player to trade weapons.

Double Voter
You have an additional vote. In lylo, this vote is removed.
(I will be formatting this in a similar way to the Mayor, but keep in mind that this role can go on both town or mafia)

Miller
You investigate as mafia or the closest result in all investigations. (investigates mafia to Sheriff, targeted the dead person as Detective, no result on Lookout)

Motivator
You may target a player during the Day and have them use their night action twice. You can't use this on the mafia nightkill, however. You may change your targets up until someone is lynched.

Jack of all Trades (JoaT)
You have three one-shot abilities of other abilities on this role card list. You may use any of them at Night.

Remover
You may target a player each Night and knock off their weapon, returning it to the Cornucopia.

Inventor
You have three-one shot abilities of other abilities on this role card list. Each Night, you may give out an ability to someone else. You can't give abilities to yourself.

Backup
You copy the first weapon shattered.

30 roles

Rules

1. I am the Mod thy God. If a dispute arises, my decision is final. That said, I am not infallible - if I make a mistake or you have a question, please inform me of the problem (preferably via PM or green text) and I will correct it.

2. Days will be 48 hours + Weapon Drafts if applicable, Nights will last 24 hours.

3. No editing posts, PM quoting, PMing, all that jazz. I don't want to modkill players.

4. This is still your grandmother’s game of mafia. Use the skills you’ve honed in previous games. The setup will punish sloppy play with a vengeance, so bring your best game. Remember, your best ally as both town and mafia is playing off one another’s behavior, not the setup or the mod.

5. The only game discussion should take place in the observer chat, or in the thread, or in any respective night chats.

6. Respect your fellow players, and have fun. If you don't have fun, I will modkill you or replace you, and that would be bad, wouldn't it?

7. No invisible ink or cryptotext.

8. There will be no last wills for this game.

9. COM claiming/hunting is not allowed except in the mafia nightchat.

Win Conditions

Town: Eliminate all threats.
Mafia: Control the lynch.

[powerofdeath]

A MFM is 14-20 players. I would get rid of 2 town or 1 town and 1 mafia. Up to you.

[Poriomania]

Hm, that might swing the balance a bit.

5 Mafia/3 Masons/12 Town?

[deathworlds]

Me justa.

/presign

[Poriomania]

Bump, going to change this to a more complicated and hopefully more fun game.

[Poriomania]

If someone could change the title to M-FM: Hunger Games then it would be much appreciated.

Cleaned up the roles a bit, and made changed roles blue to signify that they're changed from the usual roles. (For example, Jailor is very different)

[ika]

Com claiming:
is com claim only allowed in mafia chat or can it be in any chat?

neighbor:
do they pick target and ramins with them as long as they are alive or is it for that day/night cycle?
can they claim who they are?

spiritcaller:
if there is going to be a dead chat how will it be delt with?

journalist:
can journalist ask questions? can it target self?

architect:
can architect target self?
will players be able to keep the converstation?
will a new architect be able to acess the last one?

jailor:
is jailing informed?

escort:
is roleblock informed?

bus driver:
is bus driving informed?

redirector:
can you clarify a bit more by using a roles im still confused

veteran:
not immune on alert? im usnure what you mean by the quoted part

This will also make you die if anyone attacks you, however.

miller:
does the miller know its a miller or does it get citizen (vt town) card?

JoaT:
any of the roles?
does this include day activation roles or only roles that can be activate at night?
what if JoaT gets target by motivator does it get to use 2 one shot abilities or one ability twice?

Amnesiac:
does amnesiac weapon become the new ability permanetly?

inventor:
so its like JoaT that passes out abilities?
if its mafia aligned can it target mafia?

[Poriomania]

1. It'll be similar to FM XX - the mafia COMs will be revealed in the first post.
2. They cannot claim who they are, and they remain with the neighbor until either one dies.
3. The dead chat will not be viewable by dead people until the Spiritcaller dies.
4. Journalist cannot ask questions. They can target themselves.
5. Architect cannot target themselves. Players will be able to keep the conversation. A new architect will not be able to access any old stuff.
6. Jailing is not informed unless a player tries to take an action.
7. Roleblocks aren't informed unless a player tries to take an action.
8. Bussing is not informed.
9. Orpz, the mafia consigilere, targets ika. ThinkLiveLife the town redirector switches ika with RLVG. Orpz will target RLVG instead. No one is informed - it's kind of like a one-way bus drive.
10. Not immune on alert. If mafia try to kill a Veteran and he goes on alert, both will die.
11. Knows it's a miller.
12. I cannot answer the first two. It gets to use one ability twice if it's targeted by the motivator.
13. Yes.
14. Yes and yes.

[Cryptonic]

What's the difference between White and Blue rolecards?
Please reword Redirector. Something like "target a player and redirect all night actions on your target to another player of your choice". Right now, it seems more like he busses the players targeting his target with a second target.
If a Veteran gets attacked & healed while on alert, will he die?
Are people informed if they tried to target the Ascetic?
You specify that Mafia has a Day chat & a Factional weapon shattering. Do they also have Night chat and normal Factional night kill?

[ika]

maifa is gonna be oped if they have a daychat, i would remove that and have it be only night, otherwise have it that a town always has a killing ability, it seems too mafia sided wo be able to talk during day and have 5 starting mafias

Done.
2. No.
3. They will receive something akin to "Your ability failed".
4. Yes, they have all-the-time chat, a factional weapon shatter, and a night kill, plus all of their abilities they get from their weapons.

We have taken steps to ensure the game is balanced.

i can haz /presign?

Hold the phone on that while we determine the best way to do signups (either anonymously if allowed, or public)

[ika]

We have taken steps to ensure the game is balanced.

words of the wise: no matter how balanced a game may seem, it can easily be broken

never consider a game ballenced untill it is over or has satistics to back it up, even then it may not be perfectly ballenced. i dont doubt you have taken measures to try to keep it ballenced, but be careful when you say that becasue it is possible to break a "ballenced" game easily

[Poriomania]

Balance in mafia is mostly a crapshoot; I usually aim for "is this a setup where both sides have a reasonable chance of winning?", to which I feel like this game will accomplish.

Creating a setup where everyone has a "equal" chance is nearly impossible, due to the number of variances in play.

[Cryptonic]

1.
Done.
2. Yes.
3. They will receive something akin to "Your ability failed".
4. Yes, they have all-the-time chat, a factional weapon shatter, and a night kill, plus all of their abilities they get from their weapons.

Can you explain why a Veteran would die, using the order of operations, if he was attacked & healed on alert?
Bus Driver can't be roleblocked?
Bus Driver/Escort/Consort can't be witched?
Where does Jailor's ability fall in the OoO? Can he jail anything that happens before him?

1. Uh, wow, totally gave the wrong answer to that. Protects come after kills, so he will survive. Sorry 'bout that.
2. After reading a bit on the topic I'll change the roleblocker to be above the bus driver in the order of operations.
3. See above - changing both to be above bus driver.
4. Jailing falls under roleblocks.

[Cryptonic]

Can roleblockers be roleblocked?
Can a Mafia Gunsmith give guns to another Mafia member if affected by redirection?
Can Veteran be roleblocked?
If a player's weapons has 2+ abilities, do all the abilities have to be used at the same time? Can they be?

[Poriomania]

1. Roleblocks are applied at the same time.
2. Yes.
3. Let me think about this more.
4. They may only use one ability each day/night cycle.

[Poriomania]

Yeah, after thinking about it, making veterans go on alert first. Having a veteran that can be roleblocked feels wrong.

[Cryptonic]

Are shattered weapons revealed?
If a player loses their weapon, how do they get to choose their next weapon? Publicly select a weapon in the day?
What if two people need to select a weapon, who is chosen to go first?

[Poriomania]

1. No.
2.

At the beginning of each day, if one or more players is alive but not wielding a weapon and there is at least one weapon in the Cornucopia in play, a Weapon Draft will occur. This weapon draft will only involve living players that are not currently wielding a weapon, but is otherwise identical to the Weapon Draft that occurs on Day 0.

3. It is randomized.

[Cryptonic]

Ok, everything looks good to go. Approved.
You can post your signups whenever you please, and I'll be in contact with you about accounts.
