Camping at the base of Pilot Mountain in the Piedmont area of North Carolina seemed like it was going to be a relaxing a beautiful time.

Who would expect that on the first sunrise we would find one of our party members slain in the night? He had brought a tent and it had been torn to shreds and blood covered what was left of it. Horrifically, a tent stake had been jammed into his left eye, and his mouth hung open as if the surprise of this act was not even overcome by his own dying.

Why don't we leave? Why don't we call the cops?

Well, that wouldn't be any fun!

We will figure this out all on our own! We can do it!

...Or can we?

ROLE PMS ARE BEING SENT OUT NOW. After you get yours please confirm in this thread. Once we have 7/9 confirmations we will begin.

This is a semi-open setup. You will get to try to figure out what it is as you play!

One of the six possibilities is randomly chosen from this game:

1. town jailkeeper, vanilla townie, mafia goon
2. mafia roleblocker, town cop, town doctor
3. town 1-shot bulletproof, mafia goon, town tracker
4. town jailkeeper, mafia roleblocker, town 1-shot bulletproof
5. vanilla townie, town cop, mafia goon
6. mafia goon, town doctor, town tracker

The remaining 6 roles will be filled in by Vanilla Townies and Mafia Goon in order to build a 7-town - 2-mafia setup.

The Mafia Roleblocker is allowed to both submit the nightkill and perform his Roleblocker action. In addition, the Roleblocker is stated to resolve before the Jailkeeper.

The Bulletproof Townie's bulletproof cannot be roleblocked, as it is a reflexive action.

ALL PMS SENT!

We are in pre-game.

Scum may use their QT until we get 7/9 confirmations at which point Day one will begin automatically.
 
Confirmed

cAPSLOCK, I had a question about your post #3, if you can answer.

In the first part, did you mean to say that THREE of the six possibilities were randomly chosen? Because otherwise it seems possible that no power roles exist in the entire game. And you did mention "the remaining 6 roles" The way I'm reading it though, it looks like your random selection system could have potentially rolled us a no-power game, as 4 of those 6 possibility lists have one or two no-power roles listed.

I'm assuming you randomly assigned one of the three possibilities in each row after the target of that possibility list was randomly selected, eliminating the mafia option if 2 players had received it already.

So... This is a 9 player game. It is made up of:
  • 5 vanilla townies
  • 1 Mafia goon (no power role)
  • and ONE of the following lines:

1. town jailkeeper, vanilla townie, mafia goon
2. mafia roleblocker, town cop, town doctor
3. town 1-shot bulletproof, mafia goon, town tracker
4. town jailkeeper, mafia roleblocker, town 1-shot bulletproof
5. vanilla townie, town cop, mafia goon
6. mafia goon, town doctor, town tracker​

For example if the setup used #1 from above the game would have 6 vanilla town, 2 Mafia goons and the only power role would be town's jailkeeper.

Make sense?

Ah, got it, I was overthinking again.

So one of the 6 listed role combinations is in play.
 
Do I confirm here? If so, then confirmed. If not, still confirmed.
 
confirming.
 
heyhey
 
That is 7/9 confirmations.

When the sun rose today a pall was cast over the group as the news spread amongst the campers.

Who would possibly have done this?

Day one is now underway. It will end at 11:59 pm July third and I will post to officially end it.

Well then...

After my initial confusion, I had a thought about the list of possible role combinations - depending which was randomly selected, whoever actually has a power role would be able to narrow down which other power roles might possibly exist.

For example, if someone is the Town Cop, then they know that the possible roles are option 2 or 5.
If someone is the Town 1-shot Bulletproof, then they know the possible roles are option 3 or 4.
And so on.

By the same token, if we discover one power role exists, we learn something about which others are possible. But so does the Mafia.
 
All right, time for some scum hunting.

So....what you are saying is that if we discover one of the power roles, then it will limit the possibilities of role combinations based on the rules of the setup?

Cue the Captain Obvious theme song.

I can't remember, is discussing setup a scum move or not?

I revel in the obvious.
And especially, telling people about it.

But actually, I usually point out the obvious on the off chance that someone didn't notice it - because sometimes that is the case.
