[/area]

The Rules: Always in Effect

1. Don't be a dick.
2. This is a game for fun. Act like it.
3. Pretending to break a rule IS breaking a rule.
4. Don't PROVABLY quote priveleged information.
5. Try not to allow outside influences to affect the game.
6. Follow Site Rules.
7. If you think it should be against the rules, assume it is.
8. I will change these at any time for the integrity of the game or if I think it will increase the enjoyment of the players.

The Rules: This Game

1. Deadlines are seven days for Dayphases and 48 hours for Nightphases. Extensions will be granted at mod discretion, particularly in cases of slow replacements or site downtime. Deadlines will not be granted on the grounds that people have not been active enough.

2. Each player slot must post at least every 48 hours. I do not requite that these posts contain content. If you will be unable to post for longer than 48 hours, you may declare V/LA. Please be mindful of how long you declare V/LA.

3. An individual replacing out of a hydra slot will not be replaced unless they are the last person in that slot. If a player replaces out of a hydra slot, all players remaining in that slot will be prodded to ensure the slot is not empty

@Mod

Is this allowed to choice to hydra mafia on purpose to change alignments?

Town may target however they decide they want to target on the hydra-zation shots. The game will end as soon as a win condition is achieved. I cannot weigh in on whether any particular plan is a good one.

[Jingle]

So there’s no limit on how many dead town can join the same hydra?

The limit to the number of players in a hydra is based entirely on the possibility of that many town players dying. It is, for example, impossible for 13 dead town to join a hydra, as there are not in fact 13 players in the town.

Bump?

Like are you even rooting for the town or what?

I’m offended that anyone would think I’m rooting for town. I don’t root for town when I’m actively a part of the town.

If anyone believes a post deserves a mod kill or other mod intervention, please feel free to PM me directly. I do not believe mod intervention is necessary or warranted at this time.

[Jingle]

Can i become Hydra for mod and abuse modkills?

The mod is not a player in the game, and thus is invalid for hydra-ization purposes.

I apologize for the Delay.

Bugspray has been hammered.

[Jingle]

And so, bugspray's head was cut off, spilling acidic blood everywhere. Clearly the story was over. Or... Maybe not.




Bugspray,

Vanilla Town

, may now choose a player to hydra with.

[Jingle]

As a general reminder, using people's proper pronouns is a matter of courtesy. Please take the time to double check that you are using the correct ones, as even if it may not seem like a big deal to you it can be a big deal to them.

As always, remember the most important rule of mafia:

Don't

talk about fight club

be a dick.

Thank you for being considerate!

[Jingle]

Bugspray has become one with Gypyx!

From now on, both Bugspray and Gypyx occupy the same player slot. Tremble in fear at their awesome ability to communicate about the game outside of the main thread!

[Jingle]

Night 1 starts now, and ends in (expired on 2021-08-13 17:00:00) or when ALL living players have requested a fast night. Individual hydra heads must request fast night independently and via PM, not in their various hydra PTs.

[Jingle]

Infinity has been nightkilled. She was:

Vanilla Town

. She may now choose her hydra partner(s).

Rules Clarification:

If a game ending elimination would happen, pending hydra actions would not resolve as the game would be over. This applies in any case that is either lim or lose or mislim or lose, as long as the victory of a single faction is truly inevitable.

[Jingle]

Mod Note: the Deadline in the most recent VC was a typo, also buggypyx is at E-1. VC incoming.

[Jingle]

@mod, can we get an extension since gypyx needs to be prodded?

No.

First, because the Gypyx/bugspray slot didn't need to be prodded (prods on hydra slots require both participants to be absent.) and second because the deadline is still the majority of the dayphase away.

Currently, the thread for D2 has been open for just under 48 hours and no prods are needed.


I do apologize for my lack of attention modding, I've had some family issues recently. They are not finished, per say, but will no longer impact my ability to be at the computer regularly.

[Jingle]

Oh my god. I was wondering how it was only three hours to deadline when I swore day just started.

I had accidentally used a D1 VC template instead of a D2 one, and that was the D1 deadline. The OP has (and did have) an accurate deadline, although I don't foresee the error happening again.

Thor has had his hammer broken. We must now wait the requisite amount of time for him to go retrieve the legendary MacGuffin.

Thor was:

Thor Ragnarok has joined with Ydrasse and Infinity. Truly this is a legendary monster!

T3 has been murder death killed.

He was:

Town Post-Mortem Tracker

.

Welcome to Would You Like to Be My Hydra? Mafia

You are a Town Post-Mortem Tracker. When you die, you may choose a player. Your role will become that player's role and you will occupy the same player slot as that player for the rest of the game. If you target a Vanilla Townie with this ability, they will instead inherit your role.

Additionally, when you die you may choose a player to track. You will be told who, if anyone, that player targeted during the next night phase. If you were to die on D1, for example, you would receive results for N1. If you were to die on N1, you would receive results for N2.

[Jingle]

Mod PT is now public (link in OP). Other PT's will be released in ~48 hours. All players have mod powers to edit their respective posts in PTs.

The setup was fully vanilla except for T3's role. I judged, apparently fairly accurately, that the public alignment shifting of players would provide enough of an avenue of additional scumhunting to sufficiently townside the setup.

Mechanically, Jessica/T3 should have gone for the scum outside the 1v1 on D3 and scum should have no killed the last night, but honestly the difference either choice would have made was so small it didn't really matter.



I would like to apologize for the lack of VC's this game. I did intend to mod to my normal standard of checking the thread at least 3 times a day, but I had an accident in the family meaning I spent a bit more time taking people to doctors than I expected.

Particularly the deadline mistake in VC 2.2 actually had a significant impact on the game and nearly had a far greater impact by arbitrarily forcing a scum wagon to appear as a EoD wagon when there was actually most of the dayphase remaining. That is on me, and I'm sorry if it negatively impacted your enjoyment of the game.

I think over all the central mechanic went pretty well, although it's probably best suited for a larger game with a larger scumteam and some amount of town power to encourage engagement. If anyone has setup thoughts I'd be happy to hear them, but I don't think this would be an unreasonable setup to run as a mountainous full open.

[Jingle]

I hope your family is alright.

Nothing life threatening, just time consuming, but thanks for the thoughts all the same.

[Jingle]

Might rerun this as an Open at some point, made a setup post for it if anyone wants to weigh in.
