M-FM Amnesia Town - Setup & FAQ Thread

[Escaho]

Welcome to Amnesia Town!

A dangerous fog rolled into town yesterday and everyone has forgotten who they are, except for their basic alignment! The town has dubbed the name of their town Amnesia Town! Everyone has taken up different skills and trades in an effort to remember who they were!

Each day you will be given two random roles for you to try! Is one of them your former profession? Choose wisely! Every action counts (and must be accounted for)! You will have to learn quick as a series of killings has informed the Town that there is a Serial Killer amongst them! Also, a frightening mafia presence has resulted in even more deaths! Who can be trusted? Who is who?!

You'll have to be very aware of what's going on in this Town. People's powers are changing daily and it's hard to determine who is telling the truth!

PREMISE

At the start of the game, all players are told their alignment (either Godfather, Mafia, Town Leader, Town Power, Citizen, Serial Killer, Student (of the Serial Killer), or Benign Neutral). Based on their alignment, they will either:

Win with the Mafia: Godfather, Mafia
Win with the Town: Town Leader, Town Power, Citizen
Win with the Serial Killer: Serial Killer, Student (of the Serial Killer)
Win based on current win condition: Benign Neutral

They will then be given two randomly rolled actions to choose from (everyone except the Citizen) every day. For example, before Day One starts, you may receive this role card:

You are a Town Power!

Win Conditions: You win with the Town! Ensure that the Serial Killer, his Student and the Mafia lose! You also win with Benign Neutrals!

Powers:
-You will be given two options daily to choose from for your day/night action. If one of your options includes "Jailor," "Journalist," or "Corrupt Journalist," you must choose to use it before day's end or you will not be allowed to jail/interview a player.

Your options for this night/day cycle are:

Escort
-You have the ability to role-block one player for the upcoming night.
-That player will be unable to perform any action unless their action occurs before yours in the Order of Operations or they have been jailed.

Jailor
-You have the ability to jail a player at night (and gain a night chat with them).
-This action will completely role-block the player in question.
-This action will also grant night immunity to the jailed player (except for your execution).
-You may leave a death note.

The following day, you may receive this PM:

You were bus driven last night!

Your options for this night/day cycle are:


Doctor
-You have the ability to heal a player at night.
-Healing will protect that player from one of the following: dousing/charging/physical attack.
-You cannot heal suicide attempts.

Framer
-You have the ability to falsify the results of an investigation on a particular player (but not yourself).
-You can choose any of the results listed in the "Investigation Results" section for a player to appear as.
-You cannot choose the same results twice in a row (if you happen to roll Framer two days in a row).
-In addition to the chosen investigation result, the Framer can also make their target appear to be Not Suspicious, A member of the Mafia, or a wanted murderer.
-This ability only works during the night/day cycle it is used.

Town/Mafia players will have access to all of the "Possible Random Roles". Town members will always have access to at least one town role. Mafia members will always have access to at least one mafia role. (See Possible Random Roles under "Role List" above.)

Neutral players will have access to only neutral roles.

The Serial Killer will have access to only Evil Neutral attack selection.

Until the Serial Killer dies, the Student of the Serial Killer will have access to all roles except those in the "Evil Neutral attack" section.




Night Chats

The Serial Killer and his Student will receive a night chat. They can converse freely and talk about their powers and how they wish to coordinate their night actions.

The Mafia do not start with a night chat. Every night, all mafia members may perform a -seek action in addition to their regular actions. Any mafia members that find each other will immediately enter a night chat together (for example, Mafia member A may choose to -seek player X at night, in addition to choosing -consort block player Y. If player X is of the Mafia-alignment, they will gain a night chat. If, during the same night, Mafia Member B decided to -seek Mafia member A, all three players will join the same chat night the following night).

It is possible for the Mafia to have two ongoing night chats with two different members (Mafia member A finds Mafia member B and they have a night chat, while Mafia member C finds the Godfather and they share a night chat).

Players who roll the "Jailor" or "Student"roles and choose to use them will be granted a night chat with their chosen prisoner/mentor for the current night only.

Players who choose the "Mason Leader" option will be able to try and recruit Citizens at night (note: The Mafia and the SK's Student can roll this option as well). A Citizen recruited in this way will gain a night chat with that player for the remainder of the game, will join the night chat with the mafia if recruited by the mafia, or will join the night chat with the SK/Student.



Kills Per Night (KPN)

In order to keep the game balanced, the Mafia, Serial Killer, and the Town will all receive one KPN per day/night cycle.

To keep track of this, the Serial Killer's options at night are Evil Neutral attacks. He will be given two options and can only choose one (if he chooses Arsonist, he will be able to douse and ignite. If Electro Maniac, he can charge twice in one night to ensure a kill).

The Mafia may be given more than one role that can kill, but they are still only allowed one kill. For example, if one member is given the Mafioso/Framer pairing and another is given the Jailor/Lawyer pairing, only one of them can kill (one can Jail and the other can kill, but the Jailor cannot execute. If the Jailor executes before the Mafioso sends in his kill action, the Mafioso will miss his shot).

Several Town members may receive roles that can kill, but only the first Town member to send in a kill order will successfully kill. So a Town Jailor can execute his prisoner, but if a Vigilante then sends in a PM stating who he wants to kill, only the Jailor will be successful. The Vigilante will then miss his shot.



Choosing New Roles

To prevent abuse of choosing a new role at a particular point in time, your new role will not come into effect until DAY ENDS. The moment the Day Thread is locked, you will be your new role.

For example, if, during the beginning of Day you are given the options of Jailor/Doctor. You have until Day's end to decide whether to be the Jailor (because your jailed target must be chosen before day ends). If you fail to PM the Host a jailed target by day's end, you will be unable to choose Jailor.

Similarly, if a Benign Neutral is given the option of Jester/Survivor (let us assume they had chosen Executioner the day before):
-If they are about be lynched during the Day, the person in question cannot choose Jester and then die as a Jester because they do not become a Jester until the end of the day (and, thus, can die while being lynched as a Jester the following day). If lynched during the current day, they will be lynched as the role they chose the previous night (in this scenario: Executioner).

NOTE:
-If any role that requires a night chat (Jailor, Student) is not chosen by the end of the day, that player cannot choose that role.

Choosing a role that is not your alignment will not change your alignment. However, it will affect investigations on you. For example: a Mafia player choosing the Armoursmith role for the night will come up as "Armoursmith/Bodyguard/Lookout" during an Investigator/Consigliere investigation.

All Sheriff results on Mafia-aligned players will result in them coming up "Mafia," regardless of what role they chose. All Sheriff results on the Serial Killer will come up "wanted murderer," regardless of what attack he used. All Sheriff results on Benign Neutrals and Student (of the Serial Killer) will come up "not suspicious."



Town Leader

One player will be appointed Town Leader at the start of the game. Their alignment is Town.

This player acts as a Mayor: they may reveal themselves at any point during the game. This action comes with a benefit and a consequence.

Revealing results in:
-The Town knows who the Mayor is and that he is confirmed Town.
-The Mayor's vote counts as three instead of one during day chat.
-The Mayor loses his ability to use two actions. He will now roll one random action every night and must use it. Because he is confirmed Town, he will only roll Possible Town actions. However, should he roll a killing role (Vigilante, Veteran), he must use that role.


Citizens

Citizens are generally given a lackluster role. But no more! Citizens have night actions too! But there's a catch!

Citizens will randomly roll only one role. They must use the role. The problem? They might not roll a town-friendly role!

Thankfully, Citizens will be informed of this role before day starts (just as everyone else will). Knowing what action you have at your disposal, you must use it wisely! Rolled a Veteran? You must go on alert! Do you draw attention to yourself? Rolled a Framer? Uh oh! You now have to frame someone! Also, all investigations on you will make people think you are mafia! What do you do?!

Neutral Roles

The possible neutral roles are: Executioner, Jester, Ghost, Student, Survivor, and Witch.

Some neutral roles appear un-winnable (Student, Survivor, Witch), but all will be explained in their role cards.

I understand that with a Ghost in play, if that particular player dies they will not be able to take over the accounts of other players. To work around this, any player who dies as a Ghost will join day chat with a brand new account made by the Host. The Ghost will only be told the alignment of who killed them and they will be able to work with the remaining living players to find their killer(s). The Ghost cannot be lynched, cannot vote, and cannot use actions. However, he can still talk and say whatever he would like to say to influence day/night chat.

Because of the nature of this game, Benign Neutrals may have different win conditions daily. One day they may be a Jester who is trying to get lynched, while the next they may be an Executioner with a random lynch target. Town, Mafia, and Serial Killer-aligned players may all use this to their advantage.

It is possible that your role selection will not involve a role that can win immediately (i.e. - Survivor/Witch in the early game). You will never receive this kind of selection twice in a row (so that, at the bare minimum, you will have a chance to win every second day).


Voting

Each day you may vote to lynch a player. All votes count as one vote.

Please vote in red and in bold. For example: "-vote Escaho"

While the above is preferred, variants are also acceptable (italics, not bold, underlined). However, the vote must be in red or it will not count.

A revealed Mayor's (Town Leader) votes will count as three instead of one.




Graveyard

Upon death, the graveyard will only include that player's name and alignment, not their Investigation Result for the most recent night.

Therefore, when killed, they will only show up as either: Godfather, Mafia, Town Leader, Town Power, Citizen, Serial Killer, or Benign Neutral.
NOTE: Student (of the Serial Killer) will appear as a Benign Neutral in the Graveyard.



Investigation Results

Bus Driver/Arsonist/Kidnapper

(Your target owns gasoline.)

Gunsmith/Veteran/Vigilante/Mafioso

(Your target deals with weaponry, specifically firearms.)

Detective/Investigator/Journalist/Consigliere/Corrupt Journalist

(Your target is looking for a story.)

Jailor/Mason Leader/Sheriff/Executioner/Godfather/Lawyer

(Your target is some kind of authority figure.)

Blackmailer/Fabricator/Framer

(Your target uses sensitive information for nefarious purposes.)

Sleuth/Dirty Sleuth

(Your target dabbles in last wills.)

Escort/Jester/Student/Consort

(Your target occupies people's time at night.)

Ghost/Ravager/Actress

(Your target works with stolen identities.)

Coroner/Doctor/Serial Killer/Grave Robber/Janitor

(Your target works with dead bodies.)

Armoursmith/Bodyguard/Lookout

(Your target watches out for others.)

Citizen/Survivor/Witch/Electro Maniac

(Your target prefers to spend their time alone.)

Spree Killer

(Your target likes to cause mayhem.)

Mafia/Town Leader/Town Power/Benign Neutral

(Your target appears to have amnesia!)

NOTE: Target was prevented from taking an action and, thus, appear as only an alignment.

-If the Serial Killer was role-blocked, he will appear under the "Serial Killer" result.

-If the Student (of the SK) was role-blocked, he will appear as Benign Neutral.

-If a Citizen was role-blocked, he will appear under the "Citizen" investigation result.

Notes:
-Some of the more powerful mafia powers have been grouped into one pairing (Blackmailer/Fabricator/Framer) so that choosing one of those roles comes at a price: an investigation on you will result in you being confirmed as mafia (unless, of course, you were framed to look like this pairing).

-Some decent Town roles have been grouped into one pairing (Armoursmith/Bodyguard/Lookout) so that choosing one of these roles comes with a benefit: you will be confirmed as town (unless, of course, you were framed to look like this pairing).

-The Spree Killer is the only role that can kill more than one player at night, so it comes at a high price: The Serial Killer will be found.

^ = Similarly, a witch can re-direct an Escort/Consort/Student target even though her action occurs later. As long as she is not role-blocked.

FAQ

#1 )
Q: Why do the mafia not start with a night chat?
A: The reason for this is balance. The Town is already at a major disadvantage due to many possible powers floating about. If the Mafia is able to coordinate several MAJOR night actions, it could be disastrous (and gives them a huge advantage).

#2 )
Q: Why does the Serial Killer start with a night chat?
A: The Serial Killer gets the best advantage early on. He has an ally who can takeover his killings if he dies and can help him spread confusion and chaos in the day chat, as well as net him information if the Student rolls the right actions.

However, if the mafia can quickly find each other, the SK and his Student can be overwhelmed, especially with the possibility of many investigative roles floating around.

#3 )
Q: Is the Executioners target always Town?
A: No. The Executioners target is rolled randomly amongst all remaining living players. This includes any revealed Town Leaders.

#4 )
Q: Does every action from the "Evil Neutral Attacks" section count as a kpn (charging two different players/killing muliple players as Spree Killer)?
A: Yes. The Serial Killer may also have the option of dousing, but not igniting (this is still his one KPN) or charging two different players (counts as his KPN). He will only roll two of the five attacks each night, however.

#5 )
Q: If Town chooses to use the Spree Killer action, but doesn't kill anyone (no visitation at the designed target) can it still take up the kpn for Town?
A: The Town will never roll the "Spree Killer" action. They will only roll "Possible Town Roles" and "Possible Mafia Roles."

#6 )
Q: Does being recruited (ML action) by Student (of SK)/Mafia replace the victory condition for the Citizen to win with the SK/Mafia? Is the alignment changed (for Sheriff checks)?
A: Recruitment by any faction other than Town will change your alignment to that faction for the remainder of the game. Remember: it is a big risk to try and recruit a Citizen, since there are only three of them in the game. It comes with a high reward.

#7 )
Q: May you change your decision on the action you take during the night by sending the host a new PM or is the action locked in as soon as you send it?
A: Yes, you may change your night action right up until the deadline (one hour before night ends), if possible.

The exception: If you chose a role with a night chat and the night has already begun (and you, therefore, are now in a night chat), you cannot change to the second action.

#8 )
Q: Will the Student take his Mentor's role and alignment if the Mentor dies at night?
A: No. The choice of Student (only Benign Neutrals and the SK's Student will possibly roll this option) is mainly to provide a night chat with a player to gather information. For Benign Neutrals, they will win during that night/day cycle if their Mentor wins during that night/day.

#9 )
Q: Is keeping an eye on the attacker the only way to survive a duel as a bodyguard or can he be healed/vested?
A: No. Doctors can provide one physical attack heal at night, so if they choose the Bodyguard, he will survive the duel. Bodyguards will also survive the duel if they use a vest.

#10 )
Q: Death descriptions? Will it be clear what was the source of a kill?
A: Yes and no. The Serial Killer's kill will always be obvious based on its description. It is up to the players to decide between Fabricator/Mafioso/Vigilante/Veteran/Gunsmith gun kills based on the RP (all killing roles [except Veteran] can leave death notes, so it is the Town's fault should they not be forthcoming with that information).

#11 )
Q: Does immune to dousing mean that the player can't be charged or that he can't die to an electrocution?
A: Only the Serial Killer is immune to dousing (it says "dousing/charging" in his role card). A Doctor's heal may prevent a douse (or a charge, or a physical attack).

#12 )
Q: Does the Detective see all visitations of a player (Bus Driver/Kidnapper/Electro Maniac)? Does charging a player twice count as a single visitation?
A: Yes, a Detective sees all visitations (even Jailor). For Bus Drivers/Kidnappers/Witch, the detective will see their target visit two different players. Charging a player twice does not count as two visitations. Charging two different players will count as visiting two different players.

#13 )
Q:Are codes for Last Wills (vs Lawyer) okay?
A:Yes, as long as the code is a reasonable length.

#14 )
Q: What does immune to detection from Investigator/Consigliere investigation mean for the Godfather? Will he always look like an authority figure regardless of the role action he chooses?
A: The Godfather is able to choose the investigation result he will appear as to Investigators/Consiglieres every night (if he does not update every night, he will continue to look like his most recent chosen investigation result.

#15 )
Q: Are all role action randomized according to the rules stated (assuming equally weighted) or might there be some manual tweaking? 2/13+8/40=35% is the chance to get a "save" killing action (Veteran/Spree Killer/Gunsmith/Bodyguard not counted) - not very much for 4 Mafia members. And with each dying member it gets worse.

A: This is how the randomization works:

-Roll 1st Action: For Town, I roll one random action (using random.org) based on all the Town possible roles. This constitutes that Town player's "Town" action (since every Town player must have at least one Town action).

For Mafia, I roll one random action based on all Mafia possible roles. This constitutes that Mafia player's "Mafia" action (since every mafia player must have at least one Mafia action).

For the Serial Killer, I will roll one Evil Neutral attack role.

For the Student (of the Serial Killer), I will roll one Town/Mafia/Benign Neutral possible role.

For the Benign Neutrals, I will roll one Neutral role.

-Roll 2nd Action: For Town, I then roll one random action including all Town and Mafia actions. If, after all this, no Town has a killing role at their disposal, the Town will have no killing roles for the night (only the Town can have no KPN for the night).

For Mafia, I then roll one random action including all Town and Mafia actions. If, after all this, no Mafia has a killing role, I will begin re-rolling all Mafia actions (using the same 1st action, 2nd action rolling methods) until one is created.

For the Serial Killer, I will roll a second Evil Neutral attack role (they will never roll two of the same attack type).

For the Student (of the Serial Killer), I will roll a second Town/Mafia/Benign Neutral possible role.

For the Benign Neutrals, I will role a second Neutral role.

#16 )
A non-neutral player taking a neutral action will not win based on that action, i.e. getting lynched when taking Jester?
Non-neutral players (Town/Mafia/Serial Killer) will never roll Neutral roles. The Student of the SK will only fulfill his win condition by winning with the Serial Killer, regardless of if he wins through these roles.

#17 )
Q: Will the wording for each option be published?
A: No, mainly so that people can lie about their PMs without having to copy and paste [since posting PMs will be allowed] (and also because the post length will probably double with all that text...).

#18 )
Q: Rather than a day/night cycle, isn't it a night/day cycle (referring to the example)?
A:Yes, the game runs on a day/night cycle, but roles will run on a night/day cycle.

#19 )
Q: May the Framer self-target?
A: No, the Framer may not self-target (unless he is bussed/witched to do so).

#20 )
Q: Will the doctor only prevent one charge if the Electro Maniac chooses the charge the same target two times?
A: Yes, the Doctor will only prevent one charge at a time from the heal action. Therefore, if the target they heal is charged twice in a row, he will still receive one charge.

#21 )
Q: How does the Jester lynch interact with the kpn limitation? Will a Jailor be forced to execute?
A: If the Jester is lynched, all players who voted for the Jester will have their next-day action chosen for them and randomized as to who it is used on. If a Jailor action is randomly chosen this way, he will be forced to execute (all actions chosen this way will be used. KPN will still be limited that night to one per faction (Gunsmith guns, Veteran deaths, and Spree Killer actions are the exception to this rule).

#22 )
Q: Feedback Messages? Of what will the player be notified?
witched/attacked(specified?)+healed/successful heal/bus driven and so on
A: The player will be notified of everything that happened to them the previous night except:
-Being chosen by the Actress
-Being followed/watched by a Detective/Lookout
-Being checked by Sheriff/Investigator/Consigliere
-Being framed
-Having last will edited/looked at
-Janitor cleaning (failed or successful)
-Being protected by a Bodyguard (unless protect is successful)
-Being protected by a Doctor (unless heal is successful)

#23 )
Q: What happens if a Benign Neutral wins as a Student?
A: The role card has been updated to reflect this. In this scenario, the Student will commit suicide the following morning (dying of happiness that his Mentor has won the game). The reason this occurs is so that no living players who have already won the game will be allowed to continue participating (as they have already won the game, they have no reason to help any of the remaining players).

#24 )
Q: Follow up to #17: Doesn't the wording of the options not being publish make it actually harder to lie? If you want to fake being a role that you didn't get yet then a player that actually got the option previously can likely call you out on it when publishing a fake PM. Unless the options are worded differently every time...

A: The wording will be different every time.

#25 )
Q: Clarification to #6: The recruited SK/Mafia citizen will come up as "wanted murderer"/"Mafia" to Sheriff checks? (Not sure bc SK's Student comes up as ns - but it could just be something special to his role.)

A: To remain consistent, all recruited Citizens will receive the same message as their faction leader (Mafia Citizen will come up "Mafia," SK Citizen will come up "Wanted Murderer!", and Town Citizen will come up "Not suspicious").

The Student of the SK is a special case. He is, by all intents and purposes, a Benign Neutral "Student" whose Mentor is the SK. Until the SK dies, he will be Not Suspicious. Once the SK dies, he will become a Wanted Murderer (as he will become the new SK).

If he dies before the SK dies, he will appear in the Graveyard as Benign Neutral (indistinguishable from if a Benign Neutral died).

#26 )
Q: Won't the Citizen never look like a Citizen in his investigation pairing?

A: If a Citizen is role-blocked, he will appear to be a Citizen (as he can perform no action and, thus, his investigation result will not change).

#27 )
Q: Can the Serial Killer never hold a charge or will he simply not die to an electrocution? If forced to self-target by a Witch, when charging, the charge will simply disappear? What about the SK's Student being charged earlier and his mentor being lynched. Will the charge on him disappear? It's actually better for the SK to be able to hold the charge and simply not die in an electrocution as the charge might trigger a charge on another player.

A: The Serial Killer can never be doused/charged (he is immune). A self-target will result in nothing happening.

The Serial Killer's Student is not immune to dousing/charging. This is why the SK has the option of dousing, but not immediately igniting (in case his Student is doused) and charging two different players (in case his Student gets charged).

If the Student is charged once or doused and then the SK is killed, the Student becomes the SK and the douse/charge disappears (as he becomes immune to all those effects).

#28 )
Q: What happens if multiple Bus Drivers/Kidnappers/Witches target the same player?

A: The actions will be randomized as to what occurs first (it will not be first-come first-serve in this scenario, unlike the killing roles).

#29 )
Q: What will a mafia or student recruited citizen show up as in the graveyard?

A: A recruited Citizen will appear to be the alignment of their most recent recruiter.

EDIT: I should clarify, a dead Citizen will show up as (Mafia) Citizen, (SK) Citizen, or Citizen in the graveyard.
