Forum Mafia GM
February 6th, 2012, 04:35 AM
All questions posted here will be answered. Questions from PMs will be answered here (some questions may still be replied by PM, if I see the need to conceal the question).
1- What do I do with my user name and password / how do I log in?
Log out of your forum account and log back in with the user name and password I PMed you.
2- If the thief steals from someone with multiple items, what happens?
I will random.org his inventory, the item that appears at the top of the list is the item he steals.
3- If your item gets stolen (say as a doc) do you lose your ability? Surgical tools = ability to perform autopsies, while medkit = ability to heal?
Please see Game Mechanics #9 for a complete list of effects of stolen items. (http://www.sc2mafia.com/forum/showthread.php/4838-Rules-Game-Settings-and-Role-Cards)
4- When a blackmailed person completes their task are they returned to their normal role and goal?
Yes, he returns to normal.
5- What is the significance of a silenced pistol (mafioso and traitor) vs an silenced pistol in terms of game mechanics?
Spies will not hear the gunshot.
6- Will there be multiple mafia teams?
No
7- Are escorts/consorts blockable?
Yes
8- Can immune roles be killed if they are blocked at the same time?
No, roleblocking does not remove immunity.
9- Can immune roles be killed if multiple people kill them at the same time?
Depends on the immunity, GF and jailed people are fully immune (except from arson). The rest have 2 shot armor or 1 shot armor. Depending on the type of armor will determine the amount of firepower to break it.
10- Regarding "citizen info", will investigating a detection immune person count for lvl purposes?
Do you see detection immune roles in this setup? But to answer the question, no, it would not count.
11- Will the Wizard have to choose his alignment on night 1?
Yes, he cannot wait.
12- Will the role given be related to the fm account name?
No, it is random just like the accounts.
13- Does the Amnesiac know the alignment that is determined for them?
Yes
14- Can thieves steal from each other?
Yes
15- can stealing from a vigilante/SK/Mafioso/Mafia Member prevent a Night Kill?
Order of operations = Thieves steal before the kills = yes
16- will investigating a hidden person count for lvl purposes?
If the person isn't being hidden as a cit, yes
17- Arsons have a shitload of items. Do they need all of them to set shit on fire? What the fuck is an arson gonna use surigcal tools for?
Not all items are PR action related. Some are RP related. so no, he doesn't need all that.
18- If the Godfather loses his tommy gun, can he no longer kill at night?
If stolen the same night, can't kill. Every other night, can. He looses the ability to pierce immunity. He uses normal pistols instead.
19- Does level 2 of the traitor mean he gets all of the godfather's abilities, plus all of the abilities of a random mafia he had at lvl 1?
Yes, he retains his previous abilities.
20- It says for the blackmailer that any one may visit someone at night, is that only when blackmailed or can citizens move freely at night even when not blackmailed?
only when blackmailed.
21- Does the lookout ability require you to watch 3 people visit one target in one night? Or can it be 3 people on the same target over the course of several nights?
3 people on different targets (or same) over several nights
22- Spy: Does leveling up only occur at night? Or will a Spy know instantly when he "correctly interpreted a sound"? Also, does the spy need to deduce the sound in the day chat or can he interpret it in a PM to you before announcing his findings?
Interpreting sounds would be done during the day in a dedicated forum. 1 guess per day for lvl purposes. He may continue to guess afterwards until correct but will not lvl up if he got his first guess wrong.
23- Are power roles allowed to give their items to other people?
No, you can't give items. (unless you are blacksmith)
24- What happebs when a thief steals the jail keys?
For Game Mechanic purposes: The thief can escape from the jail, freeing all inmates. (must be jailed first)
For RP Purposes: The thief steals the keys, makes a copy and returns them before the jailor notices.
25- Can amnesiacs take any role from their alignment or are their restrictions?
It specifies from the graveyard. Normal role restrictions would not apply (which means you can take mayor, GF and other roles amnesiacs normally can't take)
26- can both private eye skills be used simultaneously
only if he has reached the special lvl up.
27- Can a person who completes their blackmail task then say they were blackmailed?
not until a blackmailer dies after you were blackmailed.
28- Does being blackmailed change investigation result?
no
29- Can the blackmailer blackmail his or her own team?
Voluntarily Yes
By wizard power Yes
Bus swap = no, but they will be informed they couldn't find the target.
The blackmailer does know that they are mafia, thats some huge blackmail power right there.
30- Does that mean there can be 2 mason leaders if the amnesiac waits 3 days?
It is possible, but there would only be 1 recruiting action per night, they would be able to choose who does it.
31- Does blackmailed come up as a role that investigators see when they check some poor fucker and can they get that as a result on somebody who's not really blackmailed?
blackmailed role will not show up in investigations
32- Does an amnesaic taking thief role get all the swag they had when they got killed?
He remembers he was a thief, he doesn't loot the body.
33- Also why is there an asterisk (*) next to my name? Does that mean/symbolize anything or is it just indicating that it is my account?
You must be referring to the online list. It means that you are invisible. No one knows you are online. This was done to all accounts since some people try to track online activity to find out who is who... (cough... cough)
34- In addition to knowing who each other is, do evil neutrals get a night chat as well? (Spree Killers get spree killer chat, arsonists arsonist chat etc.)
no
35- If a blackmail task is given that is too complicated/op/unfair will you simply reject it and require a simpler one, or will the blackmailer not be notified (this assuming the task is technically within the scope of the targets role)
I wish I could have answered this before the game started, but I cannot foresee all possible strategies with this role, so I will discuss the blackmailers plan with him as we progress in the game. Some plans may be rejected.
36- Is the blackmailer notified when the task is completed?
Depending on the task required, most task should be notifiable. Since I can't foresee all possible tasks, I'll keep this option open to me.
37- can the arsonist douse people who are jailed?
No, he cannot. (he would be notified that he couldn't find his target)
38- If hypothetically all town are killed, but neutral evils still exist, does the mafia then choose to end the game as partial or go for full victory?
A joint victory must be agreed with both parties involved. Any one of them may refuse the joint victory. However, once a pact has been made and confirmed, it cannot be undone. And remember, only 1 of the 3 types may join. In other words, SK cannot win with spree killer or arsonists.
39- Does traitor have access to mafia chat from the start? Or is this acquired once he assassinates the Godfather?
He has access from the start.
40- How are those who are NOT informed that they have leveled supposed to know when they have?
Is this intentional to soften the power of these particular level 2 abilities, given that they are likely not certain when it occurs? (Framer, for example)
All roles that are not informed are roles that have it's effects stack with the previous lvl automatically. So unless they find out during the day from chatter, they wouldn't know they lvled up.
41- When does day end?
read the first post to this thread. Click on the link.
42- What happens if a student has the godfather as mentor and the godfather dies while the traitor is alive?
Depends if the traitor was part of the GodFathers downfall or not. If he was, then the traitor becomes the new GF and the Student would get a new mentor.
43- Do amnesiacs and students picking the traitor become a traitor themselves or do they only get his mafia role? Does the original traitor win if the wannabes kick the godfathers ass?
Amnesiacs gets regular.
Student would get traitor.
If student helps in GF downfall, original traitor will be promoted. Student would then start studying how to be a GF if the new GF dies.
44- To make shit even more complicated, what the fuck happens if a student has the godfather as mentor and the godfather dies while the traitor is alive and an amnesiac takes the dead godfather's role afterwards? 3 godfathers?
Traitor gets GF and is now students master,
Amnesiac gets GF and somehow share the full body armor.
2 GFs
45- What sort of results does the spy receive? What exactly do you mean by "correctly interpret?"
various sound files... he has to guess what the sound means.
Example: a sound of a gunshot means he was shot by a non silenced gun.
46- Do night actions carry over into the day?
Jailor (if he detains) and Blackmailer do.. The rest no.
47- Disguising occurs after normal heals, would it therefore bypass any healing?
Disguiser can't take a live body, if he failed to kill him, then he can't disguise as him.
48- If one of the drugs heals its target, would it therefore be the only real way to heal a disguised individual and then prevent the disguise attempt?
If the drug has a heal effect, then it is covered by #17.
49- Is the spy able to "hear" night chat by using microphones on a certain mafia individual, such as the Godfather or Cult Leader?
He might know that the person has a night chat, but will not hear anything that was posted in those chats.
50- What happens if an escort and a consort block each other on the same night?
They will both not receive any PMs about being roleblocked since they will both think that they slept with their own target.
51- I know the mafia can chose not to do their night action without the Godfather's knowledge, but can they chose to secretly do a different night action instead of just abstaining secretly?
Yes, they can.
52- why is night suddenly longer than other FMs?
- It's not any longer. It just looks longer. Previous hosts said 24h but then delayed and procrastinated until 48 hours
- Night chats are closed during the day, gives time for mafia/cult/masons to discuss.
- The jailor might have more than 1 person to talk to
- To give people a break from reading mass posts each day
- To give ME the time to make the RP and set things up for the next day.
53- Can we leave last wills?
Yes.
54- are people allowed to suicide?
If there is someone available to take their place, he would be replaced.
55- Will the Mafia have a list of it's own roles with FM names?
Yes
56- do the Traitor and Godfather inherently know each other's roles?
The traitor does not show up in the list, he is another mafia and has the abilities of the role he shows up as, the only difference is his goal.
57- In further extension, how do these roles not immediately attempt to destroy one another from the start? Other than potentially sabotaging themselves?
They can try, but both the GF and the traitor must win with mafia, so exposing themselves will only lead to their own death.
And since no one but the traitor knows who the traitor is, it could lead to the entire mafia killing themselves. If they do, they deserve to loose for such stupidity.
58- If witch witches blackmailer once undetectable... what happens?
Blackmailer just doesn't know that his target wasn't the one that got blackmailed. The witches new target would be. (Blackmailer knows everyones dirty secrets.)
59- Can survivors use their vest in Jail?
No
60- Does Jailing pierce armor
Yes
61- if thief gets the arsonist detonator then he knows for sure that his target is an arsonist?
Yes.... unless he stole it from another thief
62- Can a green wizard get culted and become a purple wizard?
Yes
63- Can a student use his ability N1?
Yes
64- Are people aware of bussing?
Yes
65- Bodyguard can be healed by Doctor and never die correct?
Yes
66- if 1 mafioso lvls up does every mafioso?
only the mafioso that did the kill lvls up
67- how long can hooker notes/death notes/arsonist notes be?
I don't have a limit but try to keep it short ok?
68- would a mafioso traitor who leveled up be able to clean the GF
yes... if he can get past that armour of his
69- Is the traitor able to target the Godfather with any of his mafia abilities, or is he still subject to the choice of following the GF's will or doing nothing at all?
anyone may overide the GF orders and anyone may target the GF (except dark thief)
70- Do survivors keep your armour if they get a new role (modkill replacing)?
no
71- Is Blackmailed a given neutral role or is it given when you are targeted by Blackmailer?
when you are targeted by Blackmailer?
72- If I hide my email address to only friends and don't add any friends, can I tie an email address to my fm account? I'd like to be able to receive instant notification of any PMs on my phone.
You may add an e-mail address to your account. Just make sure that no one else can see it.
73- do healed persons which a vigilante shots count to the leveling?
Yes, it says "shoot" x amount of people, not "kill".
74- Will the vigilante be able to shoot on night 1 if he is controlled by the wizard?
no
75- If a jailor jailed a Veteran, would he survive the Veteran's attack since jailing occurs before Veteran's alert? Would a Bus Driver due to his passive swapping?
Yes, jailing is considered a day action. Bus driver simply dies, Vet doesn't get on the bus and drive away with it.
76- Does the RP cleverly say who different factions killed (Mafia, Veteran, Vigilante)? Or is it purposely omitted? If so, this is gonna be a hell of time not knowing how anyone died.
Coroners will be getting that info in PMs
77- What is the KPN of Mafia?
1
78- Do we learn the role of who we lynch?
Yes, Scum have a bad habit of cursing at everyone and usually get so mad that they tell everyone how much their team mates will avenge their death.
79- Could jailor jail day 0?
No
80- Are there set investigation groupings? Will this information ever be made public to the Town?
No, I random.org all the roles and the top 3-4 are added in with your role. Any combination is possible. See Day 1 RP for 2 examples of investigation results. The entire paragraph could be in the PM.
81- Does a jailor know everyone who is in his jail? (i.e. - if a Thief is automatically jailed because he is caught my law enforcement at night, will the Jailor be informed of this before the next night?
Yes, he has a list of prisoners
82- If a Thief is jailed because of the above question, does the Sheriff know the exact role of who visited him (account name)? Or is the Sheriff just informed that a Thief visited him and he threw him in jail?
Sheriff just knows he threw a thief in jail.. it's dark at night, couldn't see who it was. But a list of all detained people is available at the start of the day if there is any detained people.
83- If the Jailor is dead can people (including Thief) still be thrown in jail?
not unless amnesiac / student replaces the jailor
84- Would you ever communicate information (such as investigation results) over skype instead of via PM? (As claimed by fm Claw).
Everyone that got information got a PM, some (very few) also heard about it on skype as I sent out PMs. But did not get the full contents.
85- Does the Arsonist burn ignore a doctor's healings?
Yes
86- If a Red Wizard (Mafia) is investigated by Sheriff and/or Private Eye, what will the results show?
Sheriff doesn't detect Wizards. Private eye would see Red Wizard + 4 other roles.
87- Can a Blackmailer force someone to post pointless videos as part of the blackmail demands?
It is possible, yes.
88- If someone reaches 25 votes before day end, and then people unvote before day end, does that person not get lynched? or do regular hammer rules apply? I'm wondering because you said day would still continue if someone reached 25 votes. Or at least, that's how I understood it.
Once the hammer vote has been given, unvoting will be disabled. People may continue to vote that person to show support for that decision or to look less scummy for not voting.
Anti-lurking content rules still apply, so people may wish to discuss why they support a lynch even though their vote won't change the results.
89- does invest check give 5 or 4 roles?
4-5, depends on the person. It's about time someone asked that officially! lvl 2 invest gets 2 less results than lvl 1. (still sees them but they will be scratched out)
90- How will an investigator know if he got a non-citizen result?
Citizens will always show up as just Citizens (+4 non existent roles for RP). Any frames/hides with citizen in the list, showed only citizen before anyone asks.
91- Was Thief (or Dark Thief) 1 or 2 investigation results in the RP?
only 1, invests will never be able to tell them apart. Same as hookers.
92- Can the Blackmailer keep somebody from participate from the day chat for 4 days without a possibility to write anything?
I would not permit a Blackmailer to force someone to break any rules. No.
93- Is the answer to question 80 wrong? Should it be the top 3-4 instead?
Picky picky, fine I'll fix it.
94- For day 1, can the town lynch two people if they hit 25 votes simultanously?
no. It would go to sudden death who ever gets more votes first.
95- Assuming that the day 1 RP gave 2 examples of investigation results why doesnt it say Hooker (or Independent Hooker) for Akira?
Because I don't always mention it. It was a second example. Both the Dark Thief and the Independent Hooker do have it specified in the role cards that they would look like their equivalent.
96- Would you ever remove a role from an investigator's results simply because it wasn't possible? Example: Removing veteran because you would have died.
Yes, the result would be stricken out if I remember to do it. This happens often with consig results since they know that person can't be any mafia role. Veteran is still in some results.
97- So just to be absolutely clear, if you said that someone could be a thief(or dark thief)/hooker or independent hooker, that would be only TWO investigation results? not 4?
Correct. I feel like I'm being interrogated here... scum can be found in the day chat, I'm not scum.
98- If a thief / dark thief steals from a veteran, will he be killed by the veteran?
I guess the part: "IF.. If you survive your encounter" was not clear enough in the game mechanics... YES the veteran will try to kill a thief.
99- Did the Mafia team knew each other already on Day 0?
No, I didn't even know the mafia until 3 hours from night 1. Mafia night chats and similar things were only made visible to them after night 1 started. Pretty much, the time you got your role card would have been about 10 minutes after I opened their chat.
100- Can the Arsonist actually win with the mafia? If so, it is a ridiculously OP role as he can douse any confirmed Sheriff/Investigator and immediately ignite them afterwards . This means it would be unadvisable to EVER claim your real role as Town as there is no way to stop you from death other than being Bussed.
Please read the Godfathers role card. It explains what is needed for an alliance. ONLY the GF can offer an alliance.
101- It would seem that the Coroner role has disappeared from the Rules, Game Settings and Role Cards thread. Was this intentional? If it was, you might wanna check the Mafioso role card and fix it.
Coroner is part of Doctor. I just didn't add the exact wording to the doctor role card, but I thought you all would assume that.
102- can the blackmailer give commandos like. claim this role the next day and vote somebody? Does the 4 day rule still kick in then?
Blackmailer cannot give a time frame, the person will always have the maximum amount of time to do what the blackmailer says.
103- How about blackmailing somebody to give someone an alibi with a role claim? Does this work as well vs the day rule?
Yes, someone may be asked to provide a fake alibi but can't be forced to provide it when they need it most.
104- Can an amnesiac only choose true roles from the graveyard or can he also pick one of the 3-4 bonus roles from random.org?
Only from graveyard. random.org will be used only in a forced role change in when the amnesiac doesn't pick, only then will roles not in the graveyard be a possibility.
105- Have you (FM GM) ever talked to anyone about FM X on Skype?
See Rule 8- Communication with the FM Game Master
106- If a Vigilante/Gun owner shoots a player at night, will the player's role also have four possibilities or will it be exact role?
4-5 possibilities
107- Does a Blackmailed person not have access to their night action if they did not complete their objective during the first day they were blackmailed?
This is correct. They are too focused on completing their task for anything to get in the way.
108- Can a Blackmailed person even use the words/phrases "bmed" or "blackmailed" in a post? Are they allowed to hint at it at all?
They may use the words. (since I know you would exploit this and get everyone to say the word Blackmailed and find out who didn't)
109- Can we have an example of a Spy's investigation/recording results? What do they look like?
They are a small mp3 file that lasts 5-30 seconds with different sounds. I won't be giving an example since I have to make each sound file right before day starts depending on what happened. A Spy is allowed to post the sound file for the public.
110- Not really a FAQ question per say but could you make it known that doing
-unvote cancels ALL of your previous votes unless otherwise specified with a name?
It would simplify that tally list people keep spamming.
-unvote command without a name removes all votes,
111- If a Mason Leader recruits a citizen, is it possible for the newly recruited Mason to talk in the Mason chat during the same night he was recruited? Or is Mason Chat open during the day?
Mason cannot talk to Mason Leader the night he is recruited, however he can see any messages the Mason Leader posted the night before for him.
112- If a hooker drugs someone, do they immediately learn the effect of that drug? Or do they have to "learn" it via day chat by what people claim happened to themselves?
"learn" it by day chatter
113- Do citizens win ties against mafia?
No
114- If Survivor is Witched, will it change vesting action?
Wizard can force a Survivor to put on a vest by targeting himself, any other target will have no effect. Witch cannot stop a survivor from using a vest.
115- If a Blackmailer is witched onto a target, what happens? Does the witch decide what the blackmail is?
The conditions of the blackmail do not change, only the target.
example: blackmailer wants person A to visit person B at night. Witch targets BM and changes the target to person C. Person C would have to visit person B.
116- why is fm philie s name red?
I'm going to refuse to answer this question... maybe someone else can figure it out. All I will say is that something I didn't foresee happening but now that it has, I'm leaving it as is.
117- If a blackmailed person claims blackmailed, will he be modkilled right away or at the end of the day?
Who said I would modkill them? He would become Jester at the end of the day.
118- If somebody needs to be modkilled, when would you modkill this person ?
Most Modkills will happen at the end of the day. Few exceptions like strong game-throwing or cheating will result in mid-day modkills.
119- And can a bmed target hint STRONGLY that he is bmed ?
There is a fine line, hinting strongly could result in becoming a jester.
120- If we lynch someone early, will their role be revealed when they are hammered or at the end of the day?
Always at the end of the day.
121- If we lynch a blackmailed person the same day that he breaks the "no revealing that you are blackmailed rule", will this result in a jester win?
No, he is executed before becoming a jester.
122- Do you round up or down if a jester is lynched?
I just round! example: 2.3 = 2 2.6 = 3
123- Do we get to see who is replaced? Do we get their COM names and who replaced them ? What exactly do we get to know?
I'll tell you the amount of people replaced. If you look hard enough, you might find their COM id.
124- Can we skip night? I want to get straight to day.
Aw HELL NO!
125- Is there to be a night thread, or has night already started?
Read Game Mechanic #3
126- Who read the rules and game mechanics in full before asking a question?
I donno the exact number but it's not too many people.
127- If a dead person replaces someone who has been modkilled, will they be able to tell us their role from when they died?
I never gave out the names of who was modkilled or who replaced them. So, yes they can. But can you trust them to be telling the truth?
128- Can the modkilled roles/random any roles be cult/cult leader?
All random any roles are subject to role maximums. Cult Leader Maximum was 1 and is in the graveyard, so no, there can't be any Cult Leaders directly.... cult aligned Amnesiacs are possible.
129- Does jester suicide penetrate bullet-proof vests?
When was the last time you saw a bullet-proof vest or armor protect someone from the flu? Only doctor heals prevented death by illness.
130- If person A is defended by a Bodyguard and person A is attacked, is person A informed that they were attacked, even though the BG defends them? (I apologize for the possible ridiculousness of this question. I can't remember the SC2 mafia rule for this either.
Yes, they are informed.
131- Is the only way to survive Jester grief from a doctor's heal and/or immunity at night?
I thought this was clear from 129... ONLY doctors heals.
132- Is the veteran immune from jester grief / arso burn / GF headshot?
no, the veteran cannot shoot the virus / role card specifies that he is not immune to arson / Both he and the GF would be attacked and immune, GF would flee before getting shot again.
133- What happens when the Cult try to recruit a veteran?
Cult leader gets shot.
134- Can someone be blackmailed as in, they can't talk for a whole day?
see answer to question 92
135- If a thief steals from a law enforcement agent and gets put in jail, is this disclosed to the town?
It is announced at the beginning of the day who is jailed. If a thief gets caught, he is auto-jailed at the beginning of the day and detained.
136- When jailed does your name turn red?
No
137- Could a neutral amnesiac have picked Raiden (player 51) and taken Cult Leader as his role or was Raiden never part of the game?
A cult Amnesiac could have....... Raiden IS in the graveyard.
138- Will the role the amnesiac picks be revealed to the town?
Yes
139- If a Wizards target was mod-killed, replaced and given a new role, would the Wizard control the new night action on that night?
Modkills are done at the end of the day/start of night. So yes, Wizards would be controlling the NEW role.
140- If someones name is in a different colour (e.g. red for people that haven't changed the forum settings), is this indicative of an action that you took as the FM GM on their account?
See answer to 116
141- Unlike the vigilante rolecard, the mafioso rolecard says that he has to kill (not shoot) in order to level up. Does that mean that the mafioso couldn't have leveled up if there was no mafia kill?
If the mafioso failed to kill, he fails to level up.
142- If a mason is Modkilled , will they get another role or stay mason?
All roles that are modkilled are re-rolled. So there is no guaranty that a mason will replace another. I am however not making each modkill completely random, the original balance may have a bearing on what roll gets picked.
143- Does a red aligned Amnesiac share the Mafia night chat from start? If not does he know the line up of the Mafia?
No and no. He will only find out who is mafia when he remembers that he is mafia and the location of the secret hideout.
144- Does Arsonist's victims know if they have been doused?
See question 126. Did you read the Arsonists role card?
145- did you completely erase all modifications and or pm's from the mod killed accounts?
I think so... thats why it took so long, had to log in each account. I do not think I missed any.
146- How do you give the investigation results for thief and hooker?
Like this - Thief (or Dark Thief) / Hooker (or Independent Hooker)
Or like this - Thief / Hooker or Dark Thief / Independent Hooker
Basically do you include one possibility or both?
As demonstrated in Day 1 RP, I'm alternating between both possibilities (Akira, only 1 was shown. Archangel, both were shown)
147- Will you state in your RP if an Amnesiac miss remembers?
miss remembers? as in failed due to roleblock or something? No, I will only announce it if he succeeds.
148- Can a red aligned Amnesiac remember town roles and join the Mafia?
No. I send amnesiacs a PM each night letting them know what roles are available to them... so it is possible that they know the exact roles from their alignment in the graveyard before anyone else does.
149- What is a COM name?
COM stands for Council Of Mages, it was the original forums for sc2 mafia before we moved to sc2mafia.com. When people are talking about COM names, they are referring to peoples real names. Blame us old timers for not updating our vocabulary when the forum name changed.
150- So is it possible for Archangel to be the independent hooker and MikeVipe to be a dark thief even though they weren't listed in the investigation results?
Yes it is.
151- If multiple Investigators check the same person will they receive different results?
Same results, but different RPs.
152- If an Investigator checks a player and that player dies the same night, will the Investigator be told their exact role?
Yes - but doesn't get the other benefits of checking dead people. Also counts for levels unlike checking dead people.
153- If an Investigator checks a player and gets 5 random investigation results and then that player dies, will those SAME FIVE results appear in the RP? If so, what if more than one Investigator checks this player and then they die?
Same 4-5 roles will always appear for the same person.
154- If questions are asked about particular roles in Mafia/Mason/Cult/Jailor chat, will they be added to this FAQ list?
Depends on the question.
155- Do the Mafia have a Day Chat?
No. There are no day chats. (except jailed people but jailor cannot see it during day)
156- Alright, I'll rephrase. Is it possible that questions already asked in this thread have already been asked in Night Chat and were not posted here?
It is possible. But I will not confirm nor deny it.
157- It states ubernox x2 in Signup list, might this imply that he came back after being dead, or you giving inactive people second chances?
Ubernox requested a second chance. If there are more modkills today, I'll be asking him for a summary of the day events. If he can provide me an answer that proves he has been paying attention, he may be allowed back in. If not, then I'll limit replacements to the deadchat/live players.
158- Was there a coroners report in day 2 newspaper?
Nope... lol, I've been waiting for that question. I will specify a coroners report if there is one to be seen.
159- When a bodyguard is stripped of his gun via a thief, does the bodyguard actually become a citizen or just "like a citizen" as the role cards stated?
like a citizen, he will still show up as Bodyguard for investigator results and the graveyard.
160- Does a drug effect have to be specifically announced in the day chat, or would a code word suffice?
It doesn't have to be mentioned at all, if the mafia can guess what it did then they learnt it's effects.
161- Are the votes kept anonymous at the end of day or do we learn who voted for whom?
They will remain anonymous. You will see only the amount of votes that person got.
162- Can the Godfather OR one of his Mafia members reveal today (the day of the anonymous blackout) and offer an unofficial alliance with the neutral roles?
No.
163- If the majority of votes today are to skip, would no one be lynched? or would the person with the highest votes automatically be lynched?
Isn't that the point of voting to skip day? What good would it do if only 1 vote was needed to stop the skip. YES, no one would be lynched.
164- Does a Jailor's execution reveal the exact role of the victim?
Nope
165- So if a student joins an arsonist, do other Arsonists know that the other Arsonist has been born by way of student/mentor?
No, he is not informed. However, the master arsonist will recognize the signs of dousing and will know if his own student is doused by another arsonist.
166- For the alignment of the amnesiac, is the "neutral" alignment one alignment, or is it two different alignments, as "special evil neutral" and "neutral neutral"?
Alignments for the amnesiac are: Town, Mafia, Cult, all other neutrals.
167- What happens if a mafia aligned player(traitor?) or a role who has lost his items gets himself modkilled for posting nudity? Do you reroll a new traitor or power role?
Everything is wiped from the account, all items, the role and all PMs. The only person that would be affected is the one replacing the account. Traitors will not be replacing any modkills. There is no guaranty that if that person was a PR, it would return as a PR. In fact, there is no guaranty that his alignment stays the same.
168- "(colored roles have already been checked by coroners)" Is Raiden the only person that has been checked by a coroner?
That is correct! Raiden is the only one checked by coroners.
169- What is the strange voice that is telling us the roles of the dead?
Please see game mechanic #3 ... Do you believe everything you read in the newspaper you get at home these days?
170- Will we be told if someones last will has been deleted by a mafioso?
Nope
171- Change the fm Someone account settings to 50 posts per page please.
I'll leave it as is. If you want to read 50 posts per page, you can log in as your own account.. (that would also allow you to see what posts are new)
172- If someone claims a false role in their last will, would you include that fake role claim in the list of possible roles?
Only if Random.org cooperates.
173- If the Wizard magicks a Mafia Hooker, will that Hooker default to roleblocking and/or giving a random drug, or give the action the Hooker had chosen that night and simply redirect it at someone else? If the Wizard knows that the person he witched was a Mafia Hooker, can he choose to give a specific color of drug?
The action stays the same, only the target is changed.
174- Was there a mess up in night actions?
There was no mess up that I know about. All PMs should be correct.
175- Assuming there are multiple Hookers on one Mafia team, are the color-to-drug correspondence the same for every Hooker? Such as every red drug performs the same effect? Would this affect leveling in any way? Such as, if there were two Hookers and they each gave a different colored drug, and they both learn what their own does, would their quota for needing to know the effects of 2 drugs be fulfilled in one night?
That is correct, drug colors are preset and do not change even if there are multiple hookers. And yes, a hooker may learn of a drug effect from another hooker's actions.
176- Is this possible?: Witch A chooses to use his power on witch B
Witch B then proceeds to use his power on victim A, who would then have a target? If so, would witch A have to specify a target for victim A?
Witch A would pick witch Bs target. Witch B would nominate the new victims target.
177- Do Modkilled roles which were rerolled get all the times the rerolled Role has as if it was already in the game night 1?
As in can the person do 4 actions if it's night 4? no.
178- If an amnesiac takes the role of student will he keep that student's mentor?
No, he gets to pick a new mentor.
179- Can 2 doctors perform an autopsy on the same target and both level up?
Yes
180- Does a healed person get notified of the heal even if they weren't attacked?
Not normally....
181- Can you elaborate on the "Public Opinion" part of the Newspaper? Is it related to an ability?
No, I will not elaborate.....
182- If a Citizen is witched and is told who they targeted, will they still see who they targeted (even though they have no night action)? Can a Witch force a Citizen to "visit" someone even though they do not have a night action?
Yes and yes... a witch can even kill a citizen by forcing him to visit a veteran.
183- If the witch controls somebody and gives him/her a target, is there a way for that target to switch?
Bus driving, another witch...
184- Is it possible for the Mafia to have 2 KPN if a Mafioso (not the one selected to do the killing for the night) is witched onto another player?
Yes, it is possible that with the witches help that the KPN is increased in this manner.
185- What happens if the Godfather is Witched onto another player (since he cannot send himself to do the killing)?
Same as if a citizen is witched.
186- If someone was given a "witched" pill by the Hooker, will that person be given a PM stating that they visited someone with a name attached? Or will it simply inform them they were witched with no target attached?
That is for me to know and for you to find out...
187- If a witch tells you that you targeted TheJackofSpades and Jack is bus driven with Nick, would you be told that you targeted Nick instead?
No, you would think that you targeted TheJackofSpades. You would have to discover the bus swapping from day chat.
188- If multiple die to an Arsonist igniting and a Coroner wishes to perform an autopsy on one of the bodies, is he told the names of those people before choosing? Or must he choose at random? (Or is it chosen for him?)
He picks burnt body n# 1, 2, 3 or 4. He does not know the identity until after the autopsy.
189- Would you ever tell someone that the mafia specifically attacked them?
I normally say that someone was attacked, I don't usually specify who attacked them. There may or may not be odd exceptions.
190- If we lynch someone will the required amount of votes to lynch decrease?
No, his votes will count just like everyone else. Executions are done in the evening when all votes are counted.
191- Did the arsonist role stay in the hands of the same player or was it only switched to a different FM account?
Same as if a disguiser kills. Same person, different fm account, same role.
192- So we can just lynch everyone but the masons today and win right?
You would make the Arsonist auto-win. Town would loose! Arsonist would be the last person executed, making him the last killing role.
193- Is the rule of mason leader's last will getting erased on attempting to recruit the GF still there? Did you FORGET to erase the ML's last will? You kinda have to answer this because if you did make a mistake revealing it won't change the result, if the will was erased the GF would be lynched today anyway.
There is NO mistake in the PMs or RP today. Sad that it's the conclusion most of you jumped to when something doesn't add up. Have more faith me, will ya? This is not the first time someone has asked if I screwed up this fm. (sadface)
194- Does the arsonist disguise action give access to student/mason night chat? The lvl 5 Mafioso says 'You will see their last will', is that the only thing the arsonist has access to?
Due to the unique nature of the disguise, I refuse to answer all questions about it that would help you narrow down your search. You will have to determine all this on your own.
195- If a witch makes a bodyguard target himself, will the BG shoot the first attacker on himself? Does he survive or does he die when this happens?
Both the BG and the attack would die in the shootout unless the BG was keeping on eye on his attacker the night this happens.
196- Today, if someone passes 15 votes does it count as a hammer? Or can they escape lynching by people unvoting afterwards?
Once hammered, always hammered. All votes on that person will be locked and unable to unvote.
197- Can gunsmith guns be used alongside normal night actions?
Yes, only one item at a time though. + the normal night action.
198- Wasn't the town-sided Hooker supposed to be called "Independant Hooker"? Isn't this what oops was, cus his color is green you know. So what was Dimwit? Lynch reveals exact roles so give us that please.
If you look at the role cards, Independent hooker looks like a hooker. However, if you are keeping track of the graveyard, you might notice what roles are being crossed out. Oops was green because a doctor checked the body and he was town.... subtle hints I leave on purpose.
199- Can stolen mafioso guns be used in junction with a regular night action?
Thief must choose to steal or use an item that he stole. The only way he can use an item and steal is if the Blacksmith gives him an item willingly. He cannot use a blacksmith gun that he stole and with another item.
200- When a thief steals from another thief and the random roll decides to steal his loot rather than his lockpicks, does the victim lose all of his illegitimately acquired items or just one of them?
He gets all his loot!
201- Can we place votes on more than one player during the thou shall not unvote day?
I didn't mention any limitations to voting... just that you can't unvote. Vote all you want.
202- When a thief heals someone with a stolen medkit, is the target informed of being healed even if they weren't attacked? What about doctor heals?
No, and no.
203- Can we quote PM's that you have sent in response to our questions asked not on this thread if you have not posted these questions on the thread?
You are allowed to quote anything since it can all be faked. The only thing I will not permit is a screen shot of it.
204- The jailor rolecard states that: "While your inmates are in jail, they will be immune to outside effects. (they can't be killed*, robbed, drugged, roleblocked by others, Witched, Bus driven, etc)"
The asterisk indicates that someone can still be incinerated, [I]not that they can be doused. Because dousing is not a killing action. Just to be sure, are jailed players immune to dousing?
Yes, he is immune to dousing.
205- If a person is in jail during the night, will they still recieve items from a blacksmith?
Yes, the item is left where that person usually hangs out and will find the item when he is released.
206- Can a stolen vigilante gun be used for day shots?
Just because a thief has his gun, doesn't mean he gets his level. NO.
1- What do I do with my user name and password / how do I log in?
Log out of your forum account and log back in with the user name and password I PMed you.
2- If the thief steals from someone with multiple items, what happens?
I will random.org his inventory, the item that appears at the top of the list is the item he steals.
3- If your item gets stolen (say as a doc) do you lose your ability? Surgical tools = ability to perform autopsies, while medkit = ability to heal?
Please see Game Mechanics #9 for a complete list of effects of stolen items. (http://www.sc2mafia.com/forum/showthread.php/4838-Rules-Game-Settings-and-Role-Cards)
4- When a blackmailed person completes their task are they returned to their normal role and goal?
Yes, he returns to normal.
5- What is the significance of a silenced pistol (mafioso and traitor) vs an silenced pistol in terms of game mechanics?
Spies will not hear the gunshot.
6- Will there be multiple mafia teams?
No
7- Are escorts/consorts blockable?
Yes
8- Can immune roles be killed if they are blocked at the same time?
No, roleblocking does not remove immunity.
9- Can immune roles be killed if multiple people kill them at the same time?
Depends on the immunity, GF and jailed people are fully immune (except from arson). The rest have 2 shot armor or 1 shot armor. Depending on the type of armor will determine the amount of firepower to break it.
10- Regarding "citizen info", will investigating a detection immune person count for lvl purposes?
Do you see detection immune roles in this setup? But to answer the question, no, it would not count.
11- Will the Wizard have to choose his alignment on night 1?
Yes, he cannot wait.
12- Will the role given be related to the fm account name?
No, it is random just like the accounts.
13- Does the Amnesiac know the alignment that is determined for them?
Yes
14- Can thieves steal from each other?
Yes
15- can stealing from a vigilante/SK/Mafioso/Mafia Member prevent a Night Kill?
Order of operations = Thieves steal before the kills = yes
16- will investigating a hidden person count for lvl purposes?
If the person isn't being hidden as a cit, yes
17- Arsons have a shitload of items. Do they need all of them to set shit on fire? What the fuck is an arson gonna use surigcal tools for?
Not all items are PR action related. Some are RP related. so no, he doesn't need all that.
18- If the Godfather loses his tommy gun, can he no longer kill at night?
If stolen the same night, can't kill. Every other night, can. He looses the ability to pierce immunity. He uses normal pistols instead.
19- Does level 2 of the traitor mean he gets all of the godfather's abilities, plus all of the abilities of a random mafia he had at lvl 1?
Yes, he retains his previous abilities.
20- It says for the blackmailer that any one may visit someone at night, is that only when blackmailed or can citizens move freely at night even when not blackmailed?
only when blackmailed.
21- Does the lookout ability require you to watch 3 people visit one target in one night? Or can it be 3 people on the same target over the course of several nights?
3 people on different targets (or same) over several nights
22- Spy: Does leveling up only occur at night? Or will a Spy know instantly when he "correctly interpreted a sound"? Also, does the spy need to deduce the sound in the day chat or can he interpret it in a PM to you before announcing his findings?
Interpreting sounds would be done during the day in a dedicated forum. 1 guess per day for lvl purposes. He may continue to guess afterwards until correct but will not lvl up if he got his first guess wrong.
23- Are power roles allowed to give their items to other people?
No, you can't give items. (unless you are blacksmith)
24- What happebs when a thief steals the jail keys?
For Game Mechanic purposes: The thief can escape from the jail, freeing all inmates. (must be jailed first)
For RP Purposes: The thief steals the keys, makes a copy and returns them before the jailor notices.
25- Can amnesiacs take any role from their alignment or are their restrictions?
It specifies from the graveyard. Normal role restrictions would not apply (which means you can take mayor, GF and other roles amnesiacs normally can't take)
26- can both private eye skills be used simultaneously
only if he has reached the special lvl up.
27- Can a person who completes their blackmail task then say they were blackmailed?
not until a blackmailer dies after you were blackmailed.
28- Does being blackmailed change investigation result?
no
29- Can the blackmailer blackmail his or her own team?
Voluntarily Yes
By wizard power Yes
Bus swap = no, but they will be informed they couldn't find the target.
The blackmailer does know that they are mafia, thats some huge blackmail power right there.
30- Does that mean there can be 2 mason leaders if the amnesiac waits 3 days?
It is possible, but there would only be 1 recruiting action per night, they would be able to choose who does it.
31- Does blackmailed come up as a role that investigators see when they check some poor fucker and can they get that as a result on somebody who's not really blackmailed?
blackmailed role will not show up in investigations
32- Does an amnesaic taking thief role get all the swag they had when they got killed?
He remembers he was a thief, he doesn't loot the body.
33- Also why is there an asterisk (*) next to my name? Does that mean/symbolize anything or is it just indicating that it is my account?
You must be referring to the online list. It means that you are invisible. No one knows you are online. This was done to all accounts since some people try to track online activity to find out who is who... (cough... cough)
34- In addition to knowing who each other is, do evil neutrals get a night chat as well? (Spree Killers get spree killer chat, arsonists arsonist chat etc.)
no
35- If a blackmail task is given that is too complicated/op/unfair will you simply reject it and require a simpler one, or will the blackmailer not be notified (this assuming the task is technically within the scope of the targets role)
I wish I could have answered this before the game started, but I cannot foresee all possible strategies with this role, so I will discuss the blackmailers plan with him as we progress in the game. Some plans may be rejected.
36- Is the blackmailer notified when the task is completed?
Depending on the task required, most task should be notifiable. Since I can't foresee all possible tasks, I'll keep this option open to me.
37- can the arsonist douse people who are jailed?
No, he cannot. (he would be notified that he couldn't find his target)
38- If hypothetically all town are killed, but neutral evils still exist, does the mafia then choose to end the game as partial or go for full victory?
A joint victory must be agreed with both parties involved. Any one of them may refuse the joint victory. However, once a pact has been made and confirmed, it cannot be undone. And remember, only 1 of the 3 types may join. In other words, SK cannot win with spree killer or arsonists.
39- Does traitor have access to mafia chat from the start? Or is this acquired once he assassinates the Godfather?
He has access from the start.
40- How are those who are NOT informed that they have leveled supposed to know when they have?
Is this intentional to soften the power of these particular level 2 abilities, given that they are likely not certain when it occurs? (Framer, for example)
All roles that are not informed are roles that have it's effects stack with the previous lvl automatically. So unless they find out during the day from chatter, they wouldn't know they lvled up.
41- When does day end?
read the first post to this thread. Click on the link.
42- What happens if a student has the godfather as mentor and the godfather dies while the traitor is alive?
Depends if the traitor was part of the GodFathers downfall or not. If he was, then the traitor becomes the new GF and the Student would get a new mentor.
43- Do amnesiacs and students picking the traitor become a traitor themselves or do they only get his mafia role? Does the original traitor win if the wannabes kick the godfathers ass?
Amnesiacs gets regular.
Student would get traitor.
If student helps in GF downfall, original traitor will be promoted. Student would then start studying how to be a GF if the new GF dies.
44- To make shit even more complicated, what the fuck happens if a student has the godfather as mentor and the godfather dies while the traitor is alive and an amnesiac takes the dead godfather's role afterwards? 3 godfathers?
Traitor gets GF and is now students master,
Amnesiac gets GF and somehow share the full body armor.
2 GFs
45- What sort of results does the spy receive? What exactly do you mean by "correctly interpret?"
various sound files... he has to guess what the sound means.
Example: a sound of a gunshot means he was shot by a non silenced gun.
46- Do night actions carry over into the day?
Jailor (if he detains) and Blackmailer do.. The rest no.
47- Disguising occurs after normal heals, would it therefore bypass any healing?
Disguiser can't take a live body, if he failed to kill him, then he can't disguise as him.
48- If one of the drugs heals its target, would it therefore be the only real way to heal a disguised individual and then prevent the disguise attempt?
If the drug has a heal effect, then it is covered by #17.
49- Is the spy able to "hear" night chat by using microphones on a certain mafia individual, such as the Godfather or Cult Leader?
He might know that the person has a night chat, but will not hear anything that was posted in those chats.
50- What happens if an escort and a consort block each other on the same night?
They will both not receive any PMs about being roleblocked since they will both think that they slept with their own target.
51- I know the mafia can chose not to do their night action without the Godfather's knowledge, but can they chose to secretly do a different night action instead of just abstaining secretly?
Yes, they can.
52- why is night suddenly longer than other FMs?
- It's not any longer. It just looks longer. Previous hosts said 24h but then delayed and procrastinated until 48 hours
- Night chats are closed during the day, gives time for mafia/cult/masons to discuss.
- The jailor might have more than 1 person to talk to
- To give people a break from reading mass posts each day
- To give ME the time to make the RP and set things up for the next day.
53- Can we leave last wills?
Yes.
54- are people allowed to suicide?
If there is someone available to take their place, he would be replaced.
55- Will the Mafia have a list of it's own roles with FM names?
Yes
56- do the Traitor and Godfather inherently know each other's roles?
The traitor does not show up in the list, he is another mafia and has the abilities of the role he shows up as, the only difference is his goal.
57- In further extension, how do these roles not immediately attempt to destroy one another from the start? Other than potentially sabotaging themselves?
They can try, but both the GF and the traitor must win with mafia, so exposing themselves will only lead to their own death.
And since no one but the traitor knows who the traitor is, it could lead to the entire mafia killing themselves. If they do, they deserve to loose for such stupidity.
58- If witch witches blackmailer once undetectable... what happens?
Blackmailer just doesn't know that his target wasn't the one that got blackmailed. The witches new target would be. (Blackmailer knows everyones dirty secrets.)
59- Can survivors use their vest in Jail?
No
60- Does Jailing pierce armor
Yes
61- if thief gets the arsonist detonator then he knows for sure that his target is an arsonist?
Yes.... unless he stole it from another thief

Yes
63- Can a student use his ability N1?
Yes
64- Are people aware of bussing?
Yes
65- Bodyguard can be healed by Doctor and never die correct?
Yes
66- if 1 mafioso lvls up does every mafioso?
only the mafioso that did the kill lvls up
67- how long can hooker notes/death notes/arsonist notes be?
I don't have a limit but try to keep it short ok?
68- would a mafioso traitor who leveled up be able to clean the GF
yes... if he can get past that armour of his
69- Is the traitor able to target the Godfather with any of his mafia abilities, or is he still subject to the choice of following the GF's will or doing nothing at all?
anyone may overide the GF orders and anyone may target the GF (except dark thief)
70- Do survivors keep your armour if they get a new role (modkill replacing)?
no
71- Is Blackmailed a given neutral role or is it given when you are targeted by Blackmailer?
when you are targeted by Blackmailer?
72- If I hide my email address to only friends and don't add any friends, can I tie an email address to my fm account? I'd like to be able to receive instant notification of any PMs on my phone.
You may add an e-mail address to your account. Just make sure that no one else can see it.
73- do healed persons which a vigilante shots count to the leveling?
Yes, it says "shoot" x amount of people, not "kill".
74- Will the vigilante be able to shoot on night 1 if he is controlled by the wizard?
no
75- If a jailor jailed a Veteran, would he survive the Veteran's attack since jailing occurs before Veteran's alert? Would a Bus Driver due to his passive swapping?
Yes, jailing is considered a day action. Bus driver simply dies, Vet doesn't get on the bus and drive away with it.
76- Does the RP cleverly say who different factions killed (Mafia, Veteran, Vigilante)? Or is it purposely omitted? If so, this is gonna be a hell of time not knowing how anyone died.
Coroners will be getting that info in PMs
77- What is the KPN of Mafia?
1
78- Do we learn the role of who we lynch?
Yes, Scum have a bad habit of cursing at everyone and usually get so mad that they tell everyone how much their team mates will avenge their death.
79- Could jailor jail day 0?
No
80- Are there set investigation groupings? Will this information ever be made public to the Town?
No, I random.org all the roles and the top 3-4 are added in with your role. Any combination is possible. See Day 1 RP for 2 examples of investigation results. The entire paragraph could be in the PM.
81- Does a jailor know everyone who is in his jail? (i.e. - if a Thief is automatically jailed because he is caught my law enforcement at night, will the Jailor be informed of this before the next night?
Yes, he has a list of prisoners
82- If a Thief is jailed because of the above question, does the Sheriff know the exact role of who visited him (account name)? Or is the Sheriff just informed that a Thief visited him and he threw him in jail?
Sheriff just knows he threw a thief in jail.. it's dark at night, couldn't see who it was. But a list of all detained people is available at the start of the day if there is any detained people.
83- If the Jailor is dead can people (including Thief) still be thrown in jail?
not unless amnesiac / student replaces the jailor
84- Would you ever communicate information (such as investigation results) over skype instead of via PM? (As claimed by fm Claw).
Everyone that got information got a PM, some (very few) also heard about it on skype as I sent out PMs. But did not get the full contents.
85- Does the Arsonist burn ignore a doctor's healings?
Yes
86- If a Red Wizard (Mafia) is investigated by Sheriff and/or Private Eye, what will the results show?
Sheriff doesn't detect Wizards. Private eye would see Red Wizard + 4 other roles.
87- Can a Blackmailer force someone to post pointless videos as part of the blackmail demands?
It is possible, yes.
88- If someone reaches 25 votes before day end, and then people unvote before day end, does that person not get lynched? or do regular hammer rules apply? I'm wondering because you said day would still continue if someone reached 25 votes. Or at least, that's how I understood it.
Once the hammer vote has been given, unvoting will be disabled. People may continue to vote that person to show support for that decision or to look less scummy for not voting.
Anti-lurking content rules still apply, so people may wish to discuss why they support a lynch even though their vote won't change the results.
89- does invest check give 5 or 4 roles?
4-5, depends on the person. It's about time someone asked that officially! lvl 2 invest gets 2 less results than lvl 1. (still sees them but they will be scratched out)
90- How will an investigator know if he got a non-citizen result?
Citizens will always show up as just Citizens (+4 non existent roles for RP). Any frames/hides with citizen in the list, showed only citizen before anyone asks.
91- Was Thief (or Dark Thief) 1 or 2 investigation results in the RP?
only 1, invests will never be able to tell them apart. Same as hookers.
92- Can the Blackmailer keep somebody from participate from the day chat for 4 days without a possibility to write anything?
I would not permit a Blackmailer to force someone to break any rules. No.
93- Is the answer to question 80 wrong? Should it be the top 3-4 instead?
Picky picky, fine I'll fix it.
94- For day 1, can the town lynch two people if they hit 25 votes simultanously?
no. It would go to sudden death who ever gets more votes first.
95- Assuming that the day 1 RP gave 2 examples of investigation results why doesnt it say Hooker (or Independent Hooker) for Akira?
Because I don't always mention it. It was a second example. Both the Dark Thief and the Independent Hooker do have it specified in the role cards that they would look like their equivalent.
96- Would you ever remove a role from an investigator's results simply because it wasn't possible? Example: Removing veteran because you would have died.
Yes, the result would be stricken out if I remember to do it. This happens often with consig results since they know that person can't be any mafia role. Veteran is still in some results.
97- So just to be absolutely clear, if you said that someone could be a thief(or dark thief)/hooker or independent hooker, that would be only TWO investigation results? not 4?
Correct. I feel like I'm being interrogated here... scum can be found in the day chat, I'm not scum.
98- If a thief / dark thief steals from a veteran, will he be killed by the veteran?
I guess the part: "IF.. If you survive your encounter" was not clear enough in the game mechanics... YES the veteran will try to kill a thief.
99- Did the Mafia team knew each other already on Day 0?
No, I didn't even know the mafia until 3 hours from night 1. Mafia night chats and similar things were only made visible to them after night 1 started. Pretty much, the time you got your role card would have been about 10 minutes after I opened their chat.
100- Can the Arsonist actually win with the mafia? If so, it is a ridiculously OP role as he can douse any confirmed Sheriff/Investigator and immediately ignite them afterwards . This means it would be unadvisable to EVER claim your real role as Town as there is no way to stop you from death other than being Bussed.
Please read the Godfathers role card. It explains what is needed for an alliance. ONLY the GF can offer an alliance.
101- It would seem that the Coroner role has disappeared from the Rules, Game Settings and Role Cards thread. Was this intentional? If it was, you might wanna check the Mafioso role card and fix it.
Coroner is part of Doctor. I just didn't add the exact wording to the doctor role card, but I thought you all would assume that.
102- can the blackmailer give commandos like. claim this role the next day and vote somebody? Does the 4 day rule still kick in then?
Blackmailer cannot give a time frame, the person will always have the maximum amount of time to do what the blackmailer says.
103- How about blackmailing somebody to give someone an alibi with a role claim? Does this work as well vs the day rule?
Yes, someone may be asked to provide a fake alibi but can't be forced to provide it when they need it most.
104- Can an amnesiac only choose true roles from the graveyard or can he also pick one of the 3-4 bonus roles from random.org?
Only from graveyard. random.org will be used only in a forced role change in when the amnesiac doesn't pick, only then will roles not in the graveyard be a possibility.
105- Have you (FM GM) ever talked to anyone about FM X on Skype?
See Rule 8- Communication with the FM Game Master
106- If a Vigilante/Gun owner shoots a player at night, will the player's role also have four possibilities or will it be exact role?
4-5 possibilities
107- Does a Blackmailed person not have access to their night action if they did not complete their objective during the first day they were blackmailed?
This is correct. They are too focused on completing their task for anything to get in the way.
108- Can a Blackmailed person even use the words/phrases "bmed" or "blackmailed" in a post? Are they allowed to hint at it at all?
They may use the words. (since I know you would exploit this and get everyone to say the word Blackmailed and find out who didn't)
109- Can we have an example of a Spy's investigation/recording results? What do they look like?
They are a small mp3 file that lasts 5-30 seconds with different sounds. I won't be giving an example since I have to make each sound file right before day starts depending on what happened. A Spy is allowed to post the sound file for the public.
110- Not really a FAQ question per say but could you make it known that doing
-unvote cancels ALL of your previous votes unless otherwise specified with a name?
It would simplify that tally list people keep spamming.
-unvote command without a name removes all votes,
111- If a Mason Leader recruits a citizen, is it possible for the newly recruited Mason to talk in the Mason chat during the same night he was recruited? Or is Mason Chat open during the day?
Mason cannot talk to Mason Leader the night he is recruited, however he can see any messages the Mason Leader posted the night before for him.
112- If a hooker drugs someone, do they immediately learn the effect of that drug? Or do they have to "learn" it via day chat by what people claim happened to themselves?
"learn" it by day chatter
113- Do citizens win ties against mafia?
No
114- If Survivor is Witched, will it change vesting action?
Wizard can force a Survivor to put on a vest by targeting himself, any other target will have no effect. Witch cannot stop a survivor from using a vest.
115- If a Blackmailer is witched onto a target, what happens? Does the witch decide what the blackmail is?
The conditions of the blackmail do not change, only the target.
example: blackmailer wants person A to visit person B at night. Witch targets BM and changes the target to person C. Person C would have to visit person B.
116- why is fm philie s name red?
I'm going to refuse to answer this question... maybe someone else can figure it out. All I will say is that something I didn't foresee happening but now that it has, I'm leaving it as is.
117- If a blackmailed person claims blackmailed, will he be modkilled right away or at the end of the day?
Who said I would modkill them? He would become Jester at the end of the day.
118- If somebody needs to be modkilled, when would you modkill this person ?
Most Modkills will happen at the end of the day. Few exceptions like strong game-throwing or cheating will result in mid-day modkills.
119- And can a bmed target hint STRONGLY that he is bmed ?
There is a fine line, hinting strongly could result in becoming a jester.
120- If we lynch someone early, will their role be revealed when they are hammered or at the end of the day?
Always at the end of the day.
121- If we lynch a blackmailed person the same day that he breaks the "no revealing that you are blackmailed rule", will this result in a jester win?
No, he is executed before becoming a jester.
122- Do you round up or down if a jester is lynched?
I just round! example: 2.3 = 2 2.6 = 3
123- Do we get to see who is replaced? Do we get their COM names and who replaced them ? What exactly do we get to know?
I'll tell you the amount of people replaced. If you look hard enough, you might find their COM id.
124- Can we skip night? I want to get straight to day.
Aw HELL NO!
125- Is there to be a night thread, or has night already started?
Read Game Mechanic #3
126- Who read the rules and game mechanics in full before asking a question?
I donno the exact number but it's not too many people.
127- If a dead person replaces someone who has been modkilled, will they be able to tell us their role from when they died?
I never gave out the names of who was modkilled or who replaced them. So, yes they can. But can you trust them to be telling the truth?
128- Can the modkilled roles/random any roles be cult/cult leader?
All random any roles are subject to role maximums. Cult Leader Maximum was 1 and is in the graveyard, so no, there can't be any Cult Leaders directly.... cult aligned Amnesiacs are possible.
129- Does jester suicide penetrate bullet-proof vests?
When was the last time you saw a bullet-proof vest or armor protect someone from the flu? Only doctor heals prevented death by illness.
130- If person A is defended by a Bodyguard and person A is attacked, is person A informed that they were attacked, even though the BG defends them? (I apologize for the possible ridiculousness of this question. I can't remember the SC2 mafia rule for this either.
Yes, they are informed.
131- Is the only way to survive Jester grief from a doctor's heal and/or immunity at night?
I thought this was clear from 129... ONLY doctors heals.
132- Is the veteran immune from jester grief / arso burn / GF headshot?
no, the veteran cannot shoot the virus / role card specifies that he is not immune to arson / Both he and the GF would be attacked and immune, GF would flee before getting shot again.
133- What happens when the Cult try to recruit a veteran?
Cult leader gets shot.
134- Can someone be blackmailed as in, they can't talk for a whole day?
see answer to question 92
135- If a thief steals from a law enforcement agent and gets put in jail, is this disclosed to the town?
It is announced at the beginning of the day who is jailed. If a thief gets caught, he is auto-jailed at the beginning of the day and detained.
136- When jailed does your name turn red?
No
137- Could a neutral amnesiac have picked Raiden (player 51) and taken Cult Leader as his role or was Raiden never part of the game?
A cult Amnesiac could have....... Raiden IS in the graveyard.
138- Will the role the amnesiac picks be revealed to the town?
Yes
139- If a Wizards target was mod-killed, replaced and given a new role, would the Wizard control the new night action on that night?
Modkills are done at the end of the day/start of night. So yes, Wizards would be controlling the NEW role.
140- If someones name is in a different colour (e.g. red for people that haven't changed the forum settings), is this indicative of an action that you took as the FM GM on their account?
See answer to 116
141- Unlike the vigilante rolecard, the mafioso rolecard says that he has to kill (not shoot) in order to level up. Does that mean that the mafioso couldn't have leveled up if there was no mafia kill?
If the mafioso failed to kill, he fails to level up.
142- If a mason is Modkilled , will they get another role or stay mason?
All roles that are modkilled are re-rolled. So there is no guaranty that a mason will replace another. I am however not making each modkill completely random, the original balance may have a bearing on what roll gets picked.
143- Does a red aligned Amnesiac share the Mafia night chat from start? If not does he know the line up of the Mafia?
No and no. He will only find out who is mafia when he remembers that he is mafia and the location of the secret hideout.
144- Does Arsonist's victims know if they have been doused?
See question 126. Did you read the Arsonists role card?
145- did you completely erase all modifications and or pm's from the mod killed accounts?
I think so... thats why it took so long, had to log in each account. I do not think I missed any.
146- How do you give the investigation results for thief and hooker?
Like this - Thief (or Dark Thief) / Hooker (or Independent Hooker)
Or like this - Thief / Hooker or Dark Thief / Independent Hooker
Basically do you include one possibility or both?
As demonstrated in Day 1 RP, I'm alternating between both possibilities (Akira, only 1 was shown. Archangel, both were shown)
147- Will you state in your RP if an Amnesiac miss remembers?
miss remembers? as in failed due to roleblock or something? No, I will only announce it if he succeeds.
148- Can a red aligned Amnesiac remember town roles and join the Mafia?
No. I send amnesiacs a PM each night letting them know what roles are available to them... so it is possible that they know the exact roles from their alignment in the graveyard before anyone else does.
149- What is a COM name?
COM stands for Council Of Mages, it was the original forums for sc2 mafia before we moved to sc2mafia.com. When people are talking about COM names, they are referring to peoples real names. Blame us old timers for not updating our vocabulary when the forum name changed.
150- So is it possible for Archangel to be the independent hooker and MikeVipe to be a dark thief even though they weren't listed in the investigation results?
Yes it is.
151- If multiple Investigators check the same person will they receive different results?
Same results, but different RPs.
152- If an Investigator checks a player and that player dies the same night, will the Investigator be told their exact role?
Yes - but doesn't get the other benefits of checking dead people. Also counts for levels unlike checking dead people.
153- If an Investigator checks a player and gets 5 random investigation results and then that player dies, will those SAME FIVE results appear in the RP? If so, what if more than one Investigator checks this player and then they die?
Same 4-5 roles will always appear for the same person.
154- If questions are asked about particular roles in Mafia/Mason/Cult/Jailor chat, will they be added to this FAQ list?
Depends on the question.
155- Do the Mafia have a Day Chat?
No. There are no day chats. (except jailed people but jailor cannot see it during day)
156- Alright, I'll rephrase. Is it possible that questions already asked in this thread have already been asked in Night Chat and were not posted here?
It is possible. But I will not confirm nor deny it.
157- It states ubernox x2 in Signup list, might this imply that he came back after being dead, or you giving inactive people second chances?
Ubernox requested a second chance. If there are more modkills today, I'll be asking him for a summary of the day events. If he can provide me an answer that proves he has been paying attention, he may be allowed back in. If not, then I'll limit replacements to the deadchat/live players.
158- Was there a coroners report in day 2 newspaper?
Nope... lol, I've been waiting for that question. I will specify a coroners report if there is one to be seen.
159- When a bodyguard is stripped of his gun via a thief, does the bodyguard actually become a citizen or just "like a citizen" as the role cards stated?
like a citizen, he will still show up as Bodyguard for investigator results and the graveyard.
160- Does a drug effect have to be specifically announced in the day chat, or would a code word suffice?
It doesn't have to be mentioned at all, if the mafia can guess what it did then they learnt it's effects.
161- Are the votes kept anonymous at the end of day or do we learn who voted for whom?
They will remain anonymous. You will see only the amount of votes that person got.
162- Can the Godfather OR one of his Mafia members reveal today (the day of the anonymous blackout) and offer an unofficial alliance with the neutral roles?
No.
163- If the majority of votes today are to skip, would no one be lynched? or would the person with the highest votes automatically be lynched?
Isn't that the point of voting to skip day? What good would it do if only 1 vote was needed to stop the skip. YES, no one would be lynched.
164- Does a Jailor's execution reveal the exact role of the victim?
Nope
165- So if a student joins an arsonist, do other Arsonists know that the other Arsonist has been born by way of student/mentor?
No, he is not informed. However, the master arsonist will recognize the signs of dousing and will know if his own student is doused by another arsonist.
166- For the alignment of the amnesiac, is the "neutral" alignment one alignment, or is it two different alignments, as "special evil neutral" and "neutral neutral"?
Alignments for the amnesiac are: Town, Mafia, Cult, all other neutrals.
167- What happens if a mafia aligned player(traitor?) or a role who has lost his items gets himself modkilled for posting nudity? Do you reroll a new traitor or power role?
Everything is wiped from the account, all items, the role and all PMs. The only person that would be affected is the one replacing the account. Traitors will not be replacing any modkills. There is no guaranty that if that person was a PR, it would return as a PR. In fact, there is no guaranty that his alignment stays the same.
168- "(colored roles have already been checked by coroners)" Is Raiden the only person that has been checked by a coroner?
That is correct! Raiden is the only one checked by coroners.
169- What is the strange voice that is telling us the roles of the dead?
Please see game mechanic #3 ... Do you believe everything you read in the newspaper you get at home these days?
170- Will we be told if someones last will has been deleted by a mafioso?
Nope
171- Change the fm Someone account settings to 50 posts per page please.
I'll leave it as is. If you want to read 50 posts per page, you can log in as your own account.. (that would also allow you to see what posts are new)
172- If someone claims a false role in their last will, would you include that fake role claim in the list of possible roles?
Only if Random.org cooperates.
173- If the Wizard magicks a Mafia Hooker, will that Hooker default to roleblocking and/or giving a random drug, or give the action the Hooker had chosen that night and simply redirect it at someone else? If the Wizard knows that the person he witched was a Mafia Hooker, can he choose to give a specific color of drug?
The action stays the same, only the target is changed.
174- Was there a mess up in night actions?
There was no mess up that I know about. All PMs should be correct.
175- Assuming there are multiple Hookers on one Mafia team, are the color-to-drug correspondence the same for every Hooker? Such as every red drug performs the same effect? Would this affect leveling in any way? Such as, if there were two Hookers and they each gave a different colored drug, and they both learn what their own does, would their quota for needing to know the effects of 2 drugs be fulfilled in one night?
That is correct, drug colors are preset and do not change even if there are multiple hookers. And yes, a hooker may learn of a drug effect from another hooker's actions.
176- Is this possible?: Witch A chooses to use his power on witch B
Witch B then proceeds to use his power on victim A, who would then have a target? If so, would witch A have to specify a target for victim A?
Witch A would pick witch Bs target. Witch B would nominate the new victims target.
177- Do Modkilled roles which were rerolled get all the times the rerolled Role has as if it was already in the game night 1?
As in can the person do 4 actions if it's night 4? no.
178- If an amnesiac takes the role of student will he keep that student's mentor?
No, he gets to pick a new mentor.
179- Can 2 doctors perform an autopsy on the same target and both level up?
Yes
180- Does a healed person get notified of the heal even if they weren't attacked?
Not normally....
181- Can you elaborate on the "Public Opinion" part of the Newspaper? Is it related to an ability?
No, I will not elaborate.....
182- If a Citizen is witched and is told who they targeted, will they still see who they targeted (even though they have no night action)? Can a Witch force a Citizen to "visit" someone even though they do not have a night action?
Yes and yes... a witch can even kill a citizen by forcing him to visit a veteran.
183- If the witch controls somebody and gives him/her a target, is there a way for that target to switch?
Bus driving, another witch...
184- Is it possible for the Mafia to have 2 KPN if a Mafioso (not the one selected to do the killing for the night) is witched onto another player?
Yes, it is possible that with the witches help that the KPN is increased in this manner.
185- What happens if the Godfather is Witched onto another player (since he cannot send himself to do the killing)?
Same as if a citizen is witched.
186- If someone was given a "witched" pill by the Hooker, will that person be given a PM stating that they visited someone with a name attached? Or will it simply inform them they were witched with no target attached?
That is for me to know and for you to find out...
187- If a witch tells you that you targeted TheJackofSpades and Jack is bus driven with Nick, would you be told that you targeted Nick instead?
No, you would think that you targeted TheJackofSpades. You would have to discover the bus swapping from day chat.
188- If multiple die to an Arsonist igniting and a Coroner wishes to perform an autopsy on one of the bodies, is he told the names of those people before choosing? Or must he choose at random? (Or is it chosen for him?)
He picks burnt body n# 1, 2, 3 or 4. He does not know the identity until after the autopsy.
189- Would you ever tell someone that the mafia specifically attacked them?
I normally say that someone was attacked, I don't usually specify who attacked them. There may or may not be odd exceptions.
190- If we lynch someone will the required amount of votes to lynch decrease?
No, his votes will count just like everyone else. Executions are done in the evening when all votes are counted.
191- Did the arsonist role stay in the hands of the same player or was it only switched to a different FM account?
Same as if a disguiser kills. Same person, different fm account, same role.
192- So we can just lynch everyone but the masons today and win right?
You would make the Arsonist auto-win. Town would loose! Arsonist would be the last person executed, making him the last killing role.
193- Is the rule of mason leader's last will getting erased on attempting to recruit the GF still there? Did you FORGET to erase the ML's last will? You kinda have to answer this because if you did make a mistake revealing it won't change the result, if the will was erased the GF would be lynched today anyway.
There is NO mistake in the PMs or RP today. Sad that it's the conclusion most of you jumped to when something doesn't add up. Have more faith me, will ya? This is not the first time someone has asked if I screwed up this fm. (sadface)
194- Does the arsonist disguise action give access to student/mason night chat? The lvl 5 Mafioso says 'You will see their last will', is that the only thing the arsonist has access to?
Due to the unique nature of the disguise, I refuse to answer all questions about it that would help you narrow down your search. You will have to determine all this on your own.
195- If a witch makes a bodyguard target himself, will the BG shoot the first attacker on himself? Does he survive or does he die when this happens?
Both the BG and the attack would die in the shootout unless the BG was keeping on eye on his attacker the night this happens.
196- Today, if someone passes 15 votes does it count as a hammer? Or can they escape lynching by people unvoting afterwards?
Once hammered, always hammered. All votes on that person will be locked and unable to unvote.
197- Can gunsmith guns be used alongside normal night actions?
Yes, only one item at a time though. + the normal night action.
198- Wasn't the town-sided Hooker supposed to be called "Independant Hooker"? Isn't this what oops was, cus his color is green you know. So what was Dimwit? Lynch reveals exact roles so give us that please.
If you look at the role cards, Independent hooker looks like a hooker. However, if you are keeping track of the graveyard, you might notice what roles are being crossed out. Oops was green because a doctor checked the body and he was town.... subtle hints I leave on purpose.
199- Can stolen mafioso guns be used in junction with a regular night action?
Thief must choose to steal or use an item that he stole. The only way he can use an item and steal is if the Blacksmith gives him an item willingly. He cannot use a blacksmith gun that he stole and with another item.
200- When a thief steals from another thief and the random roll decides to steal his loot rather than his lockpicks, does the victim lose all of his illegitimately acquired items or just one of them?
He gets all his loot!
201- Can we place votes on more than one player during the thou shall not unvote day?
I didn't mention any limitations to voting... just that you can't unvote. Vote all you want.
202- When a thief heals someone with a stolen medkit, is the target informed of being healed even if they weren't attacked? What about doctor heals?
No, and no.
203- Can we quote PM's that you have sent in response to our questions asked not on this thread if you have not posted these questions on the thread?
You are allowed to quote anything since it can all be faked. The only thing I will not permit is a screen shot of it.
204- The jailor rolecard states that: "While your inmates are in jail, they will be immune to outside effects. (they can't be killed*, robbed, drugged, roleblocked by others, Witched, Bus driven, etc)"
The asterisk indicates that someone can still be incinerated, [I]not that they can be doused. Because dousing is not a killing action. Just to be sure, are jailed players immune to dousing?
Yes, he is immune to dousing.
205- If a person is in jail during the night, will they still recieve items from a blacksmith?
Yes, the item is left where that person usually hangs out and will find the item when he is released.
206- Can a stolen vigilante gun be used for day shots?
Just because a thief has his gun, doesn't mean he gets his level. NO.
