3AM PST, closer to zorbees’ wake up time rather than bedtime:
Jalmont returns to the room with several bowls of popcorn and distributes them to the bleary-eyed onlookers, unable to sleep over the ongoing racket.
UncleSam and Yeti stand in the middle of the room, screaming at each other over a mafia game, as usual.
“This” “NAZI” “role” “NAZI” “does” “NAZI” “not” “NAZI” “make” “NAZI” “sense.” “NAZI.”
It is clear said argument has been going on all night. Finally, one man has had enough. Walrein stands up, throwing his hands over his ears, screaming in emotional agony:
“Mom, dad, STOP! You’re tearing this family apart with your arguing!”
Most everyone in the room nods in agreement. Walrein pulls out his application for moderatorship and polishes it, preparing to make a profound speech for peace to enthrall everyone.
He is cut off as UncleSam refuses to accept any blame in this:
“I did nothing wrong.”
“HITLER DID NOTHING WRONG.”
Counters Yeti, mocking his egotistical tone.
UncleSam glares, he’s had enough of this feminine insolence.
“Mills, bring out the infraction.”
Suddenly jumpluff lunges forward, bashing their walker into billymills as he attempts to approach:
“DON’T TALK TO ME OR MY THUG EVER AGAIN.”
Jumpluff stares down all the cishet scum in the room and snaps their fingers:
“LightWolf, take care of this stemlord.”
LightWolf surges towards UncleSam and tackles him, screeching in his distinctive Hungarian accent:
“YOU DON’T DESERVE HER!”
This infuriates UncleSam who cannot handle such a claim:
“I DO, TOO. YOU DON’T. GOOSE RAPIST.”
They squabble in a petty power struggle on the floor while Yeti looks on, pleased.
Paperblade can’t handle this anymore:
“STOP. STOP FIGHTING, STOP YELLING, JUST STOP IT. THIS IS A GAME, WE’RE SUPPOSED TO HAVE FUN.”
Everyone stops, silently pondering this statement. Slowly, the Stockholm Syndromed members of Circus Maximus nod in agreement and all come together in a circle, holding hands and singing happy Who songs like they do in Whoville.
And then Thetwinmasters ruins it:
“I just don’t see why Walrein keeps putting these OP roles into his games but never on my team…”
And chaos breaks out again.
Welcome to Build Your Own Mafia, a game where the roles are made up and the post restrictions definitely matter.
Expect the unexpected. Expect shenanigans. Expect chaos. Expect to have fun. But don’t expect to rage at the host or anyone else about this game, because YOU helped design it!
POST RESTRICTIONS:
This is a post restriction game, which means that all of you will be sent a PR you MUST follow in ALL of your posts. You are also obligated to make at least one post per cycle or you will be godkilled. The PR could be something like "pretend you are Russian" and you would have to post as if you were Russian.
SIDE COMPETITION ONE:
Whoever can PM me with a list of all other users' PRs first will be a winner of the game, regardless of if their team wins or loses. Since the mafia have team PMs, I will allow you to have X wrong guesses, where X is the number of mafia who know their team's PRs. I will judge all guesses to the same degree of accuracy and if you got the gist. The "pretend you are Russian" PR could be "pretend you are Vladimir Putin" as a correct guess, but not "pretend you are European" as that is too general.
You may submit as many guesses as you like until someone wins. This is also why everyone has to post each cycle!
SIDE COMPETITION TWO:
After the game ends, we will take a vote on who had the best execution of their PR. Funniest, most dedicated, most accurate, etc. You cannot vote for yourself. Whoever is voted Best PR will be a winner of the game, regardless of if their team wins or loses.
RULES:
There will be aliases. There will be 1 for each player in the game unless a role requiring NPC aliases is submitted. Your alias is NOT your role name!
This will be a day/night game beginning on Night 0. Nights will last 48 hours, Days will last 48 hours to allow for people to post in. This is an OC game and you are welcome to discuss it beyond the confines of the game thread.
You may NOT paste any part of your Role PM, you may NOT make any screenshots of the conversation, you may NOT invite anyone to your Role PM conversation.
Thetwinmasters is the cohost for this game.
You may tell people about your role but again, you can't C/P things. This means no fakes are needed.
If you have an information role, the only thing you may C/P from your result is the WC. You may summarize the info you got from your role but you cannot C/P a full role PM when nobody could counter it.
Exception being items.
IRC channel is irc.synirc.net #BYO, you will find it helpful to join. If you make a channel for your faction, please invite me (Yeti) and Thetwinmasters (Twin). I don't officially condone using the PS! Circus Maximus channel over #BYO as I can't kick people from it if something starts going terribly wrong but you can talk there if you like. If you make a spreadsheet for your faction, please ask for my email and add me.
Submit all actions in your Role PM conversation as a new reply. No need for a new convo for each night. OR if I am on IRC as Yeti ONLY, you may submit there if I respond to your action with something along the lines of "k." If you don't get a response or I was on another nick I was probably AFK.
Lynches are every day, please bold your vote, format anything alias. Ties will result in a no lynch. The day will end after the set deadline or after a majority that cannot be contested on any one ALIAS and all living players have posted. You will vote for an alias to die, not a Smogon user name.
I do not give extensions for inactivity or idling scrubs, you all know this, the only reason an update would be delayed is if something came up irl for me. I will say in advance I am traveling back home June 24-July 5 so there may be an extended night cycle on June 26-29 where I will be at a camp and possibly unable to get on/update, TBA the internet circumstances at the camp.
No kills on N0. After that, expect anything.
Standard anti-clowning rules. You all should know the spirit of things by now, ask me if you need something clarified that's not explicitly said here.
There will be one village and two mafias unless the game size becomes so large I could feasibly do a third mafia. There may be roles submitted whose WCs make them neutrals and not a member of either team.
The village will be the Vanillas, a squadron of only the best idling vanilla towns.
Mafia 1 will be the Chocolates, definitely not vanillas!
Mafia 2 will be the Strawberries, also definitely not vanillas! Just fruits.
The playerlist will be RNGed so you will NOT be getting your own role unless the RNG blesses you. You may request to be village or mafia if you have a strong preference, but beyond that, you cannot submit an OP role and expect to get it to boost yourself.
You will be godkilled if you do not post at least once a cycle. People need to be able to guess your PR and you need to post in order to possibly be voted to win. This game encourages activity, shenanigans and fun.
Conversions ARE valid in this game. Your WC may not stay the same throughout.
There may be multiple winners depending on specific win conditions (not including Side Competitions 1 and 2). The game will end when there are no more conflicting win conditions (such as all else dead) alive in the game, or everyone has died.
Items will pass to the killer upon being nightkilled. Items may be passed at low priority.
You will be godkilled if you ask me about priority.
You may not tell anyone what role you submitted. This is to prevent easy cleaning by the village or the mafias knowing too many village roles if they can synthesize this information.
The Vanilla WC is: You win if the Chocolates, Strawberries and any hostile neutrals are eliminated.
