M73: Fowl Play

#1 Post by BobMcBob » Thu Feb 17, 2022 11:39 am

M73 GAME INFORMATION

It is another peaceful day on Farmer Brown’s Questionably Ethical Chicken Farm. The chickens are happily going about their days, except that the enclosures are too cramped to actually go anywhere, and they aren’t actually happy at all. At least, that’s what PETA would say, the chickens would say something else entirely. Probably “Cluck”.

But the space is growing mysteriously less crowded. There is now space to move around, not that the chickens are fit enough to take advantage of it, nor would they want to when they can sit around being fed instead. But now they will have to come to terms with this alarming development, or they might be next.

Join the chickens on this eggciting new adventure, as they attempt to uncover a fowl conspiracy! This may not be a pheasant experience, but the problem must be laid to rest. Shell the farm’s inhabitants be able to crack the case, or will they chicken out?


GM: BobMcBob
Cohost: Unconfirmed, but I will need someone to co-GM and probably progress a few of the phases
Day Phase Deadline: 5pm EST/2pm PST/10pm GMT/8am AEST/3 hours earlier than last game
Day Phase Length: 48 hours
Night Phase Deadline: 5pm EST/2pm PST/10pm GMT/8am AEST/3 hours earlier than last game
Night Phase Length: 24 hours
Start Date: 25 February


MAFIA OVERVIEW

Mafia is an educated guessing game of epic proportions. The objective of this game for the town majority is to kill all mafia members before they outnumber the rest of the town. The objective of the mafia minority is to survive until they outnumber the town. The game is typically very active, so the thread will grow quickly. However, it is essential to read the thread to play the game.


GENERAL RULES

This game follows standard WebDip Mafia Rules, located here.


MISCELLANEOUS NOTES

Players may be warned, forcibly replaced, or modkilled for violation of game rules. The GM team will attempt to minimize disruption to the game, but will use whatever means are needed to preserve the integrity of the game.

Players who have site-wide muted other players must unmute them to participate in this game. Players who have been silenced on webDiplomacy due to site infractions will be forcibly replaced from the game.

Players who wish to quit playing may be replaced at GM discretion. Replacement is not guaranteed. Substitutes cannot participate in spectator chats until they sub into the game and are subsequently removed from it (e.g., by dying).


VOTING

To vote for a player, type ##VOTE <player> (e.g. ##VOTE Eden). You may unvote by typing ##UNVOTE. You may switch from voting one player to another without unvoting first (e.g., if you ##VOTE Eden then type ##VOTE Bona, you will vote for Bona). You may choose to no-kill by typing ##UNVOTE. You don’t need to type out the player’s full name, but failing to do so may lead to ambiguity that causes errors in vote tallying, particularly with the bot. In the event of a tie vote at the end of the day, no player will be killed.

You may vote to end the day early by typing ##END. If a majority of players are voting ##END and casting the same vote (whether for a player or to no-kill), the phase will end early. If the day ends more than 8 hours into the start of the day phase, the remaining time will be added to the next night phase; if the day ends less than 8 hours into the start of the day phase, the next night phase will end 24 hours early.

SETUP DETAILS IN NEXT POST; PLEASE HOLD!

SETUP INFORMATION

M73 is an open setup. There are 16 members of the town and 5 members of the mafia.

Town
1 Cop
1 Doctor
1 Tracker
1 JOAT
1 Miller (unaware)
11 Vanilla town

Mafia
1 Godfather
1 Janitor (single-use)
1 Flipper
2 Goons
Mafia has a factional nightkill and a factional roleblock


Role PMs

TOWN ROLES

You are a STANDARD CHICKEN (VANILLA TOWN)!
You can lay eggs, become food, be widely used as a symbol for cowardice, and not much else.
During the day you must vote for a player. The player reaching a majority will be killed at the end of the day (Or upon a majority of remaining players voting to end the day early against the same player).
You win when all members of the Mafia are eliminated.

Miller also receives vanilla town role PM, but scans as GUILTY. They still flip as the miller.

You are a POLISH CHICKEN (COP)!
You have a very fancy crest on top of your head that is imbued with usually accurate-ish mind-reading powers!
During the day you must vote for a player. The player reaching a majority will be killed at the end of the day (Or upon a majority of remaining players voting to end the day early against the same player).
At Night, you may scan a player learning if there are GUILTY or INNOCENT by PM at the End of Night.
You win when all members of the Mafia are eliminated.

You are an ARAUCANA CHICKEN (DOCTOR)!
You lay blue-shelled eggs, which have secret healing powers when ingested. It’s probably not cannibalism. You also have a funny face.
During the day you must vote for a player. The player reaching a majority will be killed at the end of the day (Or upon a majority of remaining players voting to end the day early against the same player).
At Night, you may heal a player. If that player is attacked, they will be healed and will not die at the End of Night. You may HEAL yourself. You may NOT HEAL the same player on consecutive nights.
You win when all members of the Mafia are eliminated.

You are an AUSTRALORP CHICKEN (JACK OF ALL TRADES)!
You can lay a lot of eggs. LIke seriously, a lot. Might as well repurpose some of them for extra utility, right?
During the day you must vote for a player. The player reaching a majority will be killed at the end of the day (Or upon a majority of remaining players voting to end the day early against the same player).
At Night, you may take one of three ONE USE actions.
You may ##SCAN as a COP, once.
You may ##HEAL as a DOCTOR, once.
You may ##KILL once, allowing you to kill a player in the same way as the mafia NK. It will be processed at the end of the night.
If you are roleblocked while performing one of these actions, you will not lose the ability to do that action, and may attempt it again on another night.
You win when all members of the Mafia are eliminated.



MAFIA ROLES

You are a VEGAN CHICKEN (GODFATHER)!
You have escaped from the vegan chicken farms, where vegan chicken is harvested. You’re composed primarily of pea protein, and are not technically living, so the marketing is… probably true.
During the day you must vote for a player. The player reaching a majority will be killed at the end of the day (Or upon a majority of remaining players voting to end the day early against the same player).
You scan as INNOCENT to the COP.
You win when all members of the town are eliminated or nothing can prevent this from happening. You have access to a Quicktopic for discussion with your teammates, at night ONLY. Your teammates are <SCUM TEAM> and your QT may be found at <LINK>

You are a GOOSE (FLIPPER)!
Due to your high charisma and scheming mind, you can convince people you’re just about anything. And if they don’t believe you just honk. Really loudly. Repeatedly. Until they do.
During the day you must vote for a player. The player reaching a majority will be killed at the end of the day (Or upon a majority of remaining players voting to end the day early against the same player).
By the End of Day 1, you may choose a role that is in the setup and PM it to the GM. If you do, upon dying, your role will be revealed to the thread as the chosen role instead of the flipper. You may not choose a role after the End of Day 1.
You win when all members of the town are eliminated or nothing can prevent this from happening. You have access to a Quicktopic for discussion with your teammates, at night ONLY. Your teammates are <SCUM TEAM> and your QT may be found at <LINK>.

You are a BRUSHTURKEY (JANITOR)!
You are a pest, and love scavenging, harassing picnickers, and ruining gardens. You also taste really bad.
During the day you must vote for a player. The player reaching a majority will be killed at the end of the day (Or upon a majority of remaining players voting to end the day early against the same player).
Once per game, during the Night, you may choose to clean the player that the mafia Nightkill. If the player dies that night, their role will not be revealed when they die.
You win when all members of the town are eliminated or nothing can prevent this from happening. You have access to a Quicktopic for discussion with your teammates, at night ONLY. Your teammates are <SCUM TEAM> and your QT may be found at <LINK>.

You are a MISCELLANEOUS FOWL (GOON)!
You are a lesser appreciated species, because let’s face it, your efforts to be useful look poultry in comparison to that of a chicken.
During the day you must vote for a player. The player reaching a majority will be killed at the end of the day (Or upon a majority of remaining players voting to end the day early against the same player).
You win when all members of the town are eliminated or nothing can prevent this from happening. You have access to a Quicktopic for discussion with your teammates, at night ONLY. Your teammates are <SCUM TEAM> and your QT may be found at <LINK>.

I have been informed that I did not include the tracker role PM in the above post, so here it is now.

You are an INDIAN GIANT CHICKEN (TRACKER)!
You are a large, very tall chicken with a comically long neck. Kind of like a giraffe. But a chicken.
During the day you must vote for a player. The player reaching a majority will be killed at the end of the day (Or upon a majority of remaining players voting to end the day early against the same player).
At Night, you may track a player. If that player visits another player at night, you will be notified of who they visited, but not what actions were performed.
You win when all members of the Mafia are eliminated.

Ah, that QT thing is a relic of me writing the role PMs before QT closed down. Good catch. I suppose I should correct that too... Both instances of QT/QuickTopic should be replaced with discord.

Bummer. I was going to join this one but eod is too early for me. I get that it’s important to have UK-friendly times so I’ll keep my eyes (and eggs) peeled for another game.

Question: If a PR is RB’ed and thus their action fails, what message will they get for their action result?

Doctor will not receive any special message. They also will not normally receive a message at EoN, only an earlier confirmation message. Tracker/copscan will return a result of "Your night action failed". In the case of JOAT "Your night action failed but you did not expend a charge".
