Marathon X [9/6+] [Game Over]

[Ircher]

A game with mystery flavor, closed setup. It will run after Secret Hitler at the earliest. Setup balance is not guaranteed, but faction numbers will be reasonable, and the setup is not multiball nor is it bastard (to my knowledge). I need at least 6 players, preferably 7+ for this setup to reach its full potential. If we can get 11 players, that would be great!

30 min D1, 15 min D2+
3 min nights plus what time it takes me to resolve actions.

Game starts at XX:00 or in (expired on 2020-02-16 16:00:05).

Signups:
1. Hectic
2. Misa Amane
3. Kanna
4. dsjstr
5. NorwegianboyEE
6. Volpe14
7. or
8. popsofctown
9. McMenno

* - Needs to reconfirm status.

[Ircher]

I want to be masons with Kanna

is that an in?

[Ircher]

I also need Kanna and Misa Amane to reconfirm they're stiill around.

[Ircher]

not yet; it starts in 5 minutes.

[Ircher]

And we're starting...

[Ircher]

This setup is confirmed to be 7 Town versus 2 Mafia. One player possesses a role that is functionally VT. Flavor does not matter from an alignment standpoint, so don't try to game the setup that way.

When I have enough confirmations, the game will begin.

[Ircher]

popsofctown was lynched. She was a

Mafia Runtime Analyst

.

Spoiler: Role PM

Welcome to Marathon X.
You are a

Mafia Runtime Analyst

!

Runtime analysis is a term in computer science that refers to determining how much time or space an algorithm requires. It is important thing to know when optimizing code as changing the algorithm is the most effective way to speed up code or reduce the amount of memory it uses.

Each night, you may target a player to learn how many distinct abilities they possess currently.

You are multitasking and can kill at the same time.

To be clear, mafia are multitasking and can kill and act.

Night actions are due by XX:54. I'll try to have them resolved by XX:00. Please pm me all actions.

[Ircher]

Misa Amane was killed. She was a

Town Linear Transformation

.

Spoiler: Role PM

Welcome to Marathon X.
You are a

Town Linear Transformation

!

Linear transformations are special kinds of functions that can be represented by a matrix. Linear transformations have a wide variety of uses such as computer graphics.

Each night, you may use any combination of the following abilities; however, you may only use one of each per game.

Scale

: Target a player. Their actions become strong-willed.

Rotate

: Target a player. Their actions are redirected to the players below their chosen targets.

Identity

: Target a player. This action has no effect.

Zero

: Target a player. Their actions are rendered void.

Reflect

: Target a player. Their action is inverted. (Example: If the targeted player attempts to kill a player, they will protect that player instead.)

Hectic was lynched. He was a

Town Class

.

Spoiler: Role PM

Welcome to Marathon X.
You are a

Town Class

!

In computer programming, classes are used to combine data and behavior. Furthermore, objects of the same class share the same functionality. They are very important in writing maintainable code.

Each night, you may target a player. They will receive the following message:

You have received an object of the X class.

Night actions are due by XX:24. I'll try to resolve by XX:30.

[Ircher]

Volpe was killed. He was a

Town Vector

.

Spoiler: Role PM

Welcome to Marathon X.
You are a

Town Vector

!

Vectors represent quantities that possess both a magnitude and a direction. They are used to model a wide range of phenomena such as motion and forces.

Once per game, you may target a player. You will learn what type of role they possess (follower-style) and their alignment.

McMenno was lynched. He was a

Mafia Pointer

.

Setup:

1: Volpe14 - Town Vector - Killed N2
2: Hectic - Town Class - Lynched D2
3: NorwegianboyEE - Town Stack
4: Kanna - Town Bifurcation
5: popsofctown - Mafia Runtime Analyst - Lynched D1
6: McMenno - Mafia Pointer - Lynched D3
7: Misa Amane - Town Linear Transformation - Killed N1
8: dsjstr - Town K-Map
9: or - Town Number

N1 Actions:

1. dsjstr simplifies Kanna. (K-Map) --> Fails! (Roleblocked)
2. McMenno kills Misa Amane. --> Success!
3. McMenno redirects actions targeting him to Kanna. --> Success!
4. Hectic sends an object to Norwegian. --> Success!
5. Kanna bifurcates Hectic. --> Success.
6. Misa zeroes (roleblocks) dsjstr. --> Success!
7. Volpe investigates dsjstr. --> Success.

Results:
1. Norwegian receives an object.
2. Hectic becomes vanilla. (Note: Hectic was notified that his role became vanilla since this isn't a bastard game.)
3. McMenno kills Misa.
4. Volpe receives "Town --> Role Modifying."
5. Norwegian gains a Fruit Vend action.

N2 Actions:

N2 Actions:
1. Norwegian sends an object to or. --> Succeeds!
2. McMenno kills Volpe. --> Succeeds.
3. McMenno redirects actions targeting him to or. --> Success!
4. dsjstr simplifies McMenno. --> Fails! Redirected to or.
5. Kanna bifurcates or. --> Succeeds!

Results:
1. or receives an object.
2. McMenno kills Volpe.

Setup Notes:

1. I think this setup is a bit townsided. If I swapped the alignments of the Runtime Analyst and the Bifurcation, I think it would been better balanced. (Fun Fact: Bifurcation was originally gonna be mafia, but I rolled 3 scum roles when I did the setup, so I decided to swap its alignment.)

2. dsjstr didn't seem to understand how his role work. I guess I could've done a better job explaining it. It doesn't weaken roles (in most cases), it strengthens them by removing stuff like X-Shot. (Multitasking is exempt for obvious reasons.)

I'll post remaining role pms in a second.

[Ircher]

Role PMs:

Spoiler: Mafia Pointer

Welcome to Marathon X.
You are a

Mafia Pointer

!

In computer programming, pointers are used to alias an existing piece of data. One of the benefits of pointers is the ability to pass large pieces of data to functions without copying them.

Each night, you may target a player. Any non-killing actions that target you will be redirected to the player you choose.

You are multitasking and can kill at the same time.

Spoiler: Town Stack

Welcome to Marathon X.
You are a

Town Stack

.

Stacks are a data structure where the last item placed on it is the first item that is removed. It is very useful in various programs such as compilers.

Whenever you are targeted by an action at night, you gain that ability. Each night, you may target a player using the last ability you received. The moderator will tell you each night what ability is on top of the stack (and the determination may not be deterministic if you are targeted by multiple actions on one night..)

E.g.: If on night 1, someone tracks you and on night 2, someone watches you, and you don't use any actions on either night, then you can watch someone on night 3. If no one targets you on night 3, you can then track someone night 4.

Spoiler: Town Bifurcation

Welcome to Marathon X.
You are a

Town Bifurcation

!

Bifurcation is a word that means "to cut into two." In mathematics, bifurcations occur when a small change in a parameter causes a qualitative change in the behavior of a system.

Each night, you may target a player. If they have a role, their role will change to vanilla at the end of the night. If they are vanilla, their role will change back to their original role if they had one. (If they were vanilla to begin with, they stay vanilla.)

Spoiler: Town K-Map

Welcome to Marathon X.
You are a

Town Karnaugh Map

!

Karnaugh Maps are used to simplify boolean functions. They are useful in areas like designing a computer because a simpler expression leads to a simpler circuit that uses fewer logic gates.

Each night, you may target a player. You will simplify their role by removing the modifiers on their actions for that night only.

Spoiler: Town Number

Welcome to Marathon X.
You are a

Town Number

.

Numbers are used everything from store prices to advanced mathematical models. Without numbers, the world would not be the same.

Unfortunately, you do not possess any special abilities this game.

[Ircher]

Additional Role PMs not Used:

Spoiler: Town Cross Product

Welcome to Marathon X.
You are a

Town Cross Product

!

The cross product of two vectors returns a vector that is orthagonal to the original two vectors. It has many applications especially in physics.

Each night, you may target two players. You will learn if they are both the same alignment or if they possess different alignments.

Spoiler: Town De Morgan's Laws

Welcome to Marathon X.
You are a

Town De Morgan's Laws

!

De Morgan's Laws are a set of mathematical rules that specify how one negates a conjunction or a disjunction. They are named after the mathematician who first formally introduced them.

Each night, you may target a player. If the player performs multiple actions at once, you will invert the effects of those actions. (Example: A player who both tracks and kills a target will instead protect and follow that target.) Players will be notified if their actions have been modified by you; however, they will not know you are the cause.

Spoiler: Town Gaussian Eliminator

Welcome to Marathon X.
You are a

Town Gaussian Eliminator

!

Guassian elimination is a technique used in linear algebra to solve systems of linear equations. It is a powerful tool that has a wide variety of applications.

Each night, you may target a player. You will do one of two things. If that player has a non-vanilla role, you will vanillaize them. Otherwise, you will eliminate (i.e.: kill) them from the game.

Spoiler: Town Nondimensionalist

Welcome to Marathon X.
You are a

Town Nondimensionalist

!

Nondimensionalization is a technique that attempts to remove units from an equation. It is useful to understand how a system works better without the noise of units.

Each night, you may target a player. You will nondimensionalize them causing them to lose all role modifiers permanently.
