[S-FM] The Killing Floor (Resident Evil theme) FAQ

[Escaho]

I've decided to try my hand at hosting an FM. I wanted to do something different than the usual Town versus Mafia versus one Neutral Killer setup, so I've decided to set up a kill frenzy with not one, not two, but three neutral killers! The caveat for them: they can only win by themselves. So while it's fine and dandy to kill off 3 town in one night, it gives your competitors a greater chance at winning. And yes, there is a tie-breaker in place for neutral killers.

(Kinda borrowed Kromos' set-up format. It just looks so clean!)

Theme:

I have chosen a Resident Evil theme for this S-FM. Various characters from the Resident Evil franchise will appear and three of them are trying to hunt down our beloved protagonists!

Can they be stopped?!

FAQ

#1 ) I have a question, if you receive a vest from the armoursmith will it activate automatically if you are attacked? Like the vest for evils? What if someone evil gets a vest, do they stack then?

No, a vest from the Armoursmith will not auto-activate. Only the Evil Neutrals have a vest that auto-activates, along with the Executioner. Any vest received from an Armoursmith will require the holder to send in a Night Action to use it (and regardless of whether that player is attacked or not, once the PM is sent in, the vest is used up).

If an Evil Neutral is given a vest, it will add onto his auto-use vest. Same goes for an Executioner. The auto-use vest will always be used up first. However, if he is attacked twice in one night and has not used the second vest, the second attack will kill him (the first attack will destroy the auto-use vest).

#2 ) Does an Arsonist igniting pierce immunity? Does Electro Maniac's charge pierce immunity?

Yes. Both of these attacks will pierce immunity (ALL vests) *and* healing. Heals/vests only protect against physical attacks (Ravager, Serial Killer, Spree Killer, Veteran, Vigilante).

#3 ) What happens if a Bodyguard guards a player and that player is about to be doused by the Arsonist or charged by the Electro Maniac? What if the Arsonist ignites?

The Bodyguard will attack the intruder (both Arsonist or Electro Maniac) if they attempt to douse/charge the player being protected. The Bodyguard will become doused/charged in place of the player they are protecting.

The Bodyguard will not protect against an Ignite action by the Arsonist. The player they are guarding, if already doused, will burn to death.

#4 ) Does the Executionor know the alignment of his target?

Yes, the Executioner's target is always random town.

#5 ) Is a jailed player protected from being attacked at night?

Yes, a jailed player is not only role blocked, but protected from outside interference.

#6 ) Are Citizens notified if they are role-blocked?

Yes, they will be informed.

#7 ) If someone was jailed and then bussed, does the bussing happen?

No, jailing occurs before bussing. Since jailing grants immunity from all night actions (except ignition), bussing does not occur.

#8 ) Would the bus driver get the feedback that they successfully bussed whoever they picked?

In the jailing scenario, the bus driver would receive feedback that they tried to bus, but was unsuccessful.

#9 ) Would the person in jail get the feedback message that they were bussed?

The person in jail would not receive a PM regarding the bussing. Similarly, the person they were meant to be bussed with will also not receive a PM about being bussed. Only the Bus Driver will receive a PM if the bussing fails.

#10 ) If a player was role-blocked by an Escort are they informed that they were role-blocked?

Yes, they will receive confirmation that they were role-blocked.

#11 ) If a player is not home when a spree killer visits (they are away performing a night action), what happens? I'm not sure what the relevance is of that bit of info on the role card.

When a Spree Killer visits someone at night, they will kill that player and every player that visits that player's home. If that player has a night action and chooses to use it (i.e. - a Doctor who decides to heal another player), the Doctor will not be home for the Spree Killer to kill. However, any player that chooses to visit the Doctor that night (i.e. - Bus Driver swaps, Detective tracks, Witch controls, etc.) will be attacked by the Spree Killer. The significance is that a player that does not have a night action (a Citizen, normally) will not be able to defend against a Spree Killer because they cannot leave home.

#12 ) In the event of the Ravager and Serial Killer targeting the same person, who gets first dibs? Would the Ravager kill him and gain the ability or would the Serial Killer kill him first and the Ravager just does nothing and is able to kill the next night?

In this scenario, it is randomized as to who kills first. If the Serial Killer is selected as the first attacker, the Ravager would not be able to ravage as his target would already be dead. Therefore, he would retain his kill ability until he makes a successful kill. If the Ravager is the first attacker, the Ravager would gain the ability of the player he killed and have to use it the following night, while the Serial Killer would not make a successful kill.

#13 ) Can jail chat be copy-pasted?

Yes. Everything can be fabricated, so posting jail chat is allowed.

#14 ) If a lookout watches someone and he gets jailed, will the jailor show up as a visitor?

Yes, if someone is jailed and a Lookout is watching the jailed player, they will see the Jailor visit that player.

If a player is jailed, the jailed player is immune to abilties that directly affect them (attacks, role-blocks, bus swaps, etc.). However, investigative roles will bypass the jailing as they do not directly affect the player that is jailed.

#15 ) If a player is controlled by a witch, will they be informed?

Yes, a player will be informed if controlled by a witch.

#16 ) Can jailor still jail after a lynch?

Yes, the jailor can jail after a lynch, but he cannot execute at night if there was a lynch during that day.

Are your hidden evil neutrals given night immunity? If they are, I see this being very hard to win for the town.

[Escaho]

The hidden neutrals have a one-night vest immunity.

Keep in mind that they can easily end up attacking each other, destroying that night immunity. They may douse/charge each other, putting them under fire. They will want to use the town to vote off other evil neutrals they find (as they can use attacks against them as investigative roles). They cannot hide from the Sheriff's investigative abilties. Also, keep in mind several of the killing roles cannot kill every single night like the Serial Killer can (Arsonist/Electro Maniac/Ravager).

However, if the set-up seems too Pro-Evil-Neutral, I can remove the immunities.

[Blazer]

This is crazy *examines again and again*.....me gusta...just maybe...

[clementine]

Ah, I am not very familiar with Electro Maniac and Ravager. I think I posted before getting to read through your second post completely. Now knowing that many of the killing roles can't kill every night, it seems way less pro-evil.

It sounds like you have thought this through well! I'd be interested in playing this one when it gets approved! :]

/reserve a slot for me to sign if i miss it.

[Rocshi]

I'd replace one Benign Neutral with a Citizen imo, but these are the setups I love in game that everyone repicks :/

[clementine]

I have a question because I'm new... How do you decide which forum mafia games will be held when? Do I need to vote on setups or anything? Just wondering when new signups will be posted, seeing as the graveyard investigations S-FM ended recently.

The host decides. They won't usually be hosted when the big FM takes place, but anytime around that is normal.

[Capitalier]

I suggest that you change one of the random towns to a declared jailor, so the town can at least have some control over a "lynch." I also suggest that you remove amnesiac and student from the random neutrals list, because they are far too iffy in this setup.

Edit: After discussion with Escaho, I have decided to approve this setup. Have fun. :)

[Blazer]

Why isn't it in green? YOU CAN NEVER REPLACE LUNA! <3

[Duzero]

Editing second post for FAQ-related questions. Hopefully I'll get this moved into the Ongoing Games forum when the game begins (should begin tomorrow).
