I have some questions about the roles:

"**COP SANITY - It is *possible* (determined randomly) that one of the cops is insane."

Does this mean that if there's more than one type of cop, at most one of them can be insane? Or is each cop's chance of being insane independent of the others?

"0-1 DESPERADO -
You are armed with a GUN which has two shots. Twice per game, at NIGHT, you may choose a player to shoot. However, if you choose a fellow TOWN player, you will die instead of them."

If the Desperado dies, do we find out who they intended to kill?

"0-1 CORONER - Once per game, you may use EACH of the following abilities:
[...]
2. You are also in possession of a MEDICAL BAG which contains enough medicine to be used twice. Twice per game, at night, you may visit a player."

There seems to be a slight contradiction there. I understand that the medical bag can be used twice, not once as stated in the first part.

"(NOTE: The Inventor does not know the full in-game powers of the items they invent - as per the more traditional version of this role)."

Will the person receiving the item be told the full powers of the item they receive?

bo_sox48 (5202 )
19 Jun 16 UTC

Save them for the game, it's free town cred.

Jamiet99uk (865 )
19 Jun 16 UTC

@ xorxes:

1. At most, one cop may be insane. It would be too hard on the town if there were three insane cops.

2. If the Desperado targets a town player and dies as a result, their target is *not* automatically disclosed. However, the town player in question is informed that the Desperado targeted them.

3. You're right about the Coroner, well spotted, and thanks. It was originally intended that his medical bag would be single use. However Captainmeme felt the role was weak. He was given an extra use of the medical bag, as a slight buff. The bag can, indeed, be used twice.

4. Yes. The inventor only sees the descriptions I have already posted. The person receiving the item is given the detailed rules concerning that item.

Jamiet99uk (865 )
19 Jun 16 UTC

Thank you Xorxes for those intelligent questions. If anyone else has a question, this thread is a good place to ask it, whatever Bo_Sox may think.

If the Jailbreaker tries to steal a confiscated item but nothing has been confiscated, is their power wasted? If more than one item has been confiscated, do they steal them all?

Jamiet99uk (865 )
19 Jun 16 UTC

In the first case, yes, they would waste their power. They would break into the police station, and find nothing to steal.

The second case is impossible, because the Item Cop can only confiscate one item.

Jamiet99uk (865 )
19 Jun 16 UTC

Note that if an Item Cop scans a player who has more than one item, the Item Cop can choose which of those items to confiscate, but can still only confiscate one item.

xorxes (31128 )
19 Jun 16 UTC

If the Thief steals from someone with more than one item, they do get all of them, right?

xorxes (31128 )
19 Jun 16 UTC

Since the thief steals before the Inventor delivers, that means if the inventor delivers to A and the thief steals from A on the same night, the thief doesn't get the item, correct? What happens if the thief steals from the inventor, do they get the item about to be delivered?

Jamiet99uk (865 )
19 Jun 16 UTC

1. If the Thief successfully targets someone who is lucky enough to be in possession of more than one item, the Thief steals them all, yes.

2. If the Thief targets the person to whom the inventor intends to deliver an item, they arrive too early, and fail to steal anything, that's correct.

3. What happens when the Thief targets the Inventor is a very good question. I am inclined to say that the Thief gets nothing - because the invention is not ready yet. Otherwise, this could effectively allow the Thief to completely nullify the Inventor. I will consult my co-GM and see what he thinks.

xorxes (31128 )
19 Jun 16 UTC

The Inventor is listed as delivering *after* the reporter investigates or the binoculars are used. Does this mean the inventor will not seen going out by them?

Jamiet99uk (865 )
19 Jun 16 UTC

You're a clever little Xorxes. I'm pleased you're asking these questions now, it's very helpful.

Actually, the reporter is supposed to see ALL the players who go out, including the Mafia nightkiller unless it's the ninja. Therefore, the night actions order ought to be:

=================
ORDER OF EVENTS
=================

Events at night will take place in the following order:

1. Reporter starts investigating / Binoculars start watching
2. Hooker / Whiskey Roleblock
3. Reporter hiding
4. Cop investigations
5. Thief robbery
6. Jailbreak / Jailbreaker safecrack
7. Inventor delivers
8. Mafia kill
9. Doctor / Medic / First Aider visit

Jamiet99uk (865 )
19 Jun 16 UTC

So effectively, the Reporter starts watching a target immediately, and they see if that person goes out, at any point from 2 to 9 on the list.

The reporter does NOT see if their target uses the binoculars - using the binoculars does not count as "going out".

Jamiet99uk (865 )
19 Jun 16 UTC

Brainbomb has pointed out to me that in Mafia 20, it was ruled that the Item Thief could only obtain items by targeting the recipient. So, in that game, there was a Gunsmith, and if the thief targeted the Gunsmith, they did not obtain a gun.

I will apply the same ruling. Thus, targeting the inventor does not gain any items.

Jamiet99uk (865 )
19 Jun 16 UTC

However, it seems reasonable, actually, that the thief could steal from the recipient of an item.

Therefore:

=================
ORDER OF EVENTS
=================

Events at night will take place in the following order:

1. Reporter starts investigating / Binoculars start watching
2. Hooker / Whiskey Roleblock
3. Reporter hiding
4. Cop investigations
5. Inventor delivers
6. Jailbreak / Jailbreaker safecrack
7. Thief robbery
8. Mafia kill
9. Doctor / Medic / First Aider visit

What about the Desperado and the Watcher? Does the Desperado shoot before/after/together with the Mafia kill? Does the the Watcher make a visit or are they like the binoculars user that stay at home? Do they have binoculars that can be stolen/confiscated?

Jamiet99uk (865 )
19 Jun 16 UTC

This is very helpful, Xorxes, and appreciated.

The Desperado was originally going to have a day shot, that's why he's not on the list, one moment...

=================
ORDER OF EVENTS
=================

Events at night will take place in the following order:

1. Reporter starts investigating / Binoculars start watching
2. Hooker / Whiskey Roleblock
3. Reporter hiding
4. Cop investigations
5. Inventor delivers
6. Jailbreak / Jailbreaker safecrack
7. Thief robbery
8. Desperado gunshot
9. Mafia kill
10. Doctor / Medic / First Aider visit

In this game the WATCHER does *not* have a set of binoculars - they have to go out and keep watch on their target - perhaps they hide in the bushes, etc. Therefore they *do* show as "going out" but they do not have anything that can be stolen from them (unless given an item later on).

Jamiet99uk (865 )
19 Jun 16 UTC

Thus, the item thief *could* steal the Desperado's gun before the Desperado got his shot off.

Jamiet99uk (865 )
20 Jun 16 UTC

The watcher also starts watching from point 1 on the schedule of events.

xorxes (31128 )
20 Jun 16 UTC

So if the Desperado shoots the Mafia that was going out to do the kill, the next Mafia goes out, right? What happens if only one Mafia voted to kill, and they are shot by the Desperado?

And if the Desperado shoots the Strongman, the Strongman can't use their power?

bo_sox48 (5202 )
20 Jun 16 UTC

Are we okay at 16+ players or does this setup require the full 22?

Jamiet99uk (865 )
20 Jun 16 UTC

What normally happens if a night firing Vigilante shootsnthe Mafia nightkiller?

@Bo-sox - I could run it ok with 18 or more. 20 to 22 would be ideal. We still have a week to go for signups.

Jamiet99uk (865 )
20 Jun 16 UTC

I need at least 2 more players, and DemonOverlord and OB_Gyn_Kenobi aren't on the sign-up list yet. Hopefully they will join us.

Jamiet99uk (865 )
20 Jun 16 UTC

@ Xorxes: Captainmeme and I have determined that the Desperado gunshot and the Mafia nightkill cannot cancel each other. Therefore, in the event that, for example, the Desperado targets the Ninja, on the same night as the Ninja goes to Nightkill the Desperado, the result would be that both of them would be dead at sunrise.

captainmeme (1723 )
20 Jun 16 UTC

In other words, the two kills happen at the same time, so the order of operations is now:

1. Reporter starts investigating / Binoculars start watching
2. Hooker / Whiskey Roleblock
3. Reporter hiding
4. Cop investigations
5. Inventor delivers
6. Jailbreak / Jailbreaker safecrack
7. Thief robbery
8. Desperado gunshot/Mafia kill
9. Doctor / Medic / First Aider visit

xorxes (31128 )
20 Jun 16 UTC

If the Desperado and one of the Mafia are the last two standing, and the Desperado still has a bullet, is it a tie?

Jamiet99uk (865 )
20 Jun 16 UTC

In that extremely unlikely event, I think the only sensible answer is "yes".

Egroegw (100 )

Willing to join: still possible?

Floodgates (2004 )

Still possible.
