Procedurally Generated Mafia

Proc-Gen Mafia is a normal game of mafia except that the role powers are procedurally generated using a variant on this generator. You could call it semi-open in design, as the source code for the generator will be public at the start of the game. Players will be given roles that look like this:

Evil Warp: Once per night you can redirect the actions of your target to a random player.
Elite Vampire: Once per night you can give a random ability to everyone targeting your target.
Friendly Magnet: If someone targets you with a priming they will be given a piece of fruit.
Confused Randomizer: If someone targets you, a random player will morph into your role.
Cryptic Angel: Twice per night you can give an extra vote to a dead player until the next lynch.
Peculiar Skulker: Once per night you can protect your target's target.

Spoiler: Mafia Rules (click to show/hide)

Basic rules:
 - No PMing to anyone but me, the mod.
 - No Quoting of the Mod in relation to PMs. You are free to quote anything in the thread. You may also paraphrase.
 - Semi-hammers in effect. Days last on a soft 72 hours, unless majority is voting for any player or No Lynch. If a player is hammered, there is to be no more talking. If you accidentally post something after the hammer, you can and should edit out the post.
 - Nights last 24 hours or whenever all the actions are sent in. If you do not wish to action, please send a PM stating so.
 - Weekends count for 0 hours, as I too enjoy my free time on them.
 - Each player has one extension they may use once in the game. This extends the game by 24 hours.
 - Vote by putting player names in bold and red:  Bold and Red.
 - Use powers by sending a PM to the mod with the name of the player you want to target; scum can do this using their Quicktopic.
- Players are limited to one action per night unless otherwise stated.
- Mafia have a shared night-kill that one of them can use each night. This ability doesn't appear on censuses and cannot be swapped out or otherwise removed from a mafia player.
- Serial Killers start the game with two abilities, at least one of which is guaranteed to be capable of killing, whether directly or indirectly.
- Probably some other stuff that I've forgotten right now, but you know the drill.

Spoiler: Roles (click to show/hide)

Town: You win when all scum team members and serial killers are dead and at least one town player is alive.

Scum: You win when all living players are of your scum team.

Serial Killer (11 players+): You win when everyone but you is dead.

No player has to survive the game to win.

Spoiler: Power Clarifications (click to show/hide)

- In general, players are not informed of whether they are successful in their action.
- In general, players are not informed of who targeted them. This includes the Inform ability (i.e. informing a player of your alignment will send them a message which says "Town" if you are Town, it won't say "NQT is Town".
- If you're unsure what your power does, I can clarify.
- Poison kills the target at the end of the next phase (i.e. a night-poison will kill the target at the end of the next day).
- Infect kills the target at the end of the next cycle (i.e. a night-infect will kill the target at the of the following night.
- If a player is infected, anyone they target will also become infected.
- Players are not informed when they are poisoned or infected or primed.
- Unlike Priming, Igniting automatically targets everyone, regardless of the wording of the power, and cannot be redirected (though players can be immune). Anyone Ignited who was already Primed will die, anyone Ignited without being Primed will live.
- A Role is a role name + all abilities the player with that role name has - their mafiakill, if they have one.
- If a role allows you to use it twice in a phase and you can pick your target(s) then you can change targets between usage.
- Unless a power states that it targets a random player or yourself, it normally cannot self-target. I.e. if your power is once per night you can block your target, you can't choose yourself.

I'll definitely be watching, as long as I estimate it doesn't take too much time I'll probably !in as well.

[Tiruin]

So this is like BYOR but it is RYOR. Random Your Own Role For the Rest of the Game!

IN.

And heya NQT :3

Sort of, but I'll be doing the randomising, not the player.

And heya NQT :3

Hey!

It should be a quick game.

[TheDarkStar]

In. I might have to replace out if the game goes longer (if I don't get killed off first), but I should be good for a few weeks.

[FallacyofUrist]

In. Your generator is mildly hypnotic, by the way.

Mild Hypnotist has now been added as a possible role name.

[NJW2000]

Insane Timebomber: Once per night you can perform the an action that a random person targeting your target is capable of on a random target.

I'm really noting that this will be a pure daygame game, unless you get a night role that makes vanilla sense
I can generate whole role lists where powers that may be applicable...aren't contextually appropriate.

That or NQT will be buried under single-liners like "WHAT DOES CURE DO" and other nice things.

[NJW2000]

Yup. I'm wondering about that, actually.

With really convoluted, unguessable roles, but not necessarily OP ones, does the daygame and reading become really important compared to mechanical analysis?

Because in the more insane BYORs, that tends to go out the window a little as everyone focuses on OP roles, but I could see it going the other way with weak or middling but unpredictable roles.

Super Magnet: Once per night you can give a piece of fruit to your target until the next lynch.

Evil Vacuum: Once per night you can give your vote to a dead player until the next lynch.


Super Magnet: Once per night you can give a piece of fruit to your target until the next lynch.

Cure cures poison. Poison kills the target at the end of the following phase.

Super Magnet: Once per night you can give a piece of fruit to your target until the next lynch.

It's based on the Fruit Vendor role.

Four Masked Anti-Doctor: Once per night you can cure a dead player.

I love it when they have an appropriate name.
