Procedurally Generated Mafia 4

Proc-Gen Mafia is a normal game of mafia except that the role powers are procedurally generated using the source found here.

You could call the setup semi-open in design, as the source code for the generator will be public at the start of the game. The previous game can be read here. Previous version of the game used this generator.

Players will be given roles that look like this:

-Black Inspectist: You can kill all players targeting all players targeting a random player's target's target's target's target. Your kills cannot be protected or be immunised against. Action: superkill.
-One-shot CPRor: Upon dying for the first time, you will revive without flipping. While you are alive, each other player's night action has a 75% chance of affecting a random player
-Mad Frameup: You will take on the role of the first person to die. You have two abilities: up to twice per night you can befriend another player, or each day you can voteblock all players targeting all players targeting a random player's target. Actions: befriend, voteblock. You are a third-party: you win when all other players are dead
-Purple Stalkling: You can learn the actions owned of another player's target. Action: inspect
-Beta Jesrate: If zombie urist is killed, the player responsible will die. Up to twice per day you learn the role PM of the next upcoming role in the setup, but not who has it. Actions: (auto)cheat
-Insane Guardor: A random player of the same alignment can vote twice. You have two abilities: each night you can guard a third of the players, or up to twice per night you can curse a random player. Actions: guard, curse.
-Allilante Invenbor: If you are killed, all the players will give away their role to a random player of a different alignment. Once per day you can receive a list of half the third parties left in the game. Action: Census.
-Police Backnet: You can prime all the players, or ignite all the cursed targets. Actions: Prime/Ignite
- Doubleup Deephealer: You can feed a target's target each night, which will either CPR them or infect them (25/75 chance). Actions: Bake

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.
 - Extensions are only by mod discretion. Please be active.
 - 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 discord channel.
- 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.
- Third parties will only appear in the setup when there are 11+ players. Roles won't be generated with unwinnable wincons. Third-parties leave the game when they win.
- Mode of death (poison, kill, arson etc.) is revealed on death.
- Ties at end of day are randomly resolved.
- Non-players can have spoilspec access to the dead chat, on request.
- Players are invited to treat each other with respect and help make the game a welcoming and fun experience for others.

Spoiler: Roles (click to show/hide)

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

Scum: You win when all living players are of your scum team and there is at least one living player. You have a shared mafiakill which may be used by one of the mafia players if no mafia players are using a power which can kill (including poison, infect, consume, ignite etc.).

Third Parties: Custom roles that have a small chance of appearing in any setup. For example: "You are a third-party: you win and leave the game if [player name] is alive at the start of the third day.". "You are a third-party: you win if the town wins."

Players of all alignments may win after their own death so long as their win condition is met.

Spoiler: Power Clarifications (click to show/hide)

The powers in this version are based on Xylbot templates. If the ability just has the ability name, like 'copy', 'befriend', etc. it works as the ability normally would work from Xylbot.

- In general, players are not informed of whether they are successful in their action.
- In general, players are not informed of who targeted them. Befriend does inform the player of the befriender.
- If you're unsure what your power does, pm the mod: some of the powers generated are ambiguously worded and require clarification.
- 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 end 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.
- Cure removes poison and infect status; Protect prevents someone from being Killed or Ignited (but not primed).
- Frame also changes the alignment results in census and befriend actions.
- If a power gives half or a third of a list (of names, abilities etc), the number of items will be rounded down.
- A Role is a role name plus all abilities the player with that role name has minus their mafiakill, if they have one, and minus any lines related to the role owner's alignment.
- If an ability 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.
- The actual player names will replace the dummy names in the "person" section of the source-code.
- The initial setup will be generated with an interesting and an attempt at a fair balance of roles, but any roles/abilities generated during the game (in gifts etc.) will be whatever comes up first on a random generation (providing it's legal for the setup).
- If a player is subject to a rule which says they appear as a third-party on flip or inspection, a specific and consistent 3rd party role will be generated for that purpose.
- Players can have roles which grant them multiple abilities, but unless they can double-act, they may only perform one ability per day or night phase. Auto-abilities don't count towards this limit. The mafiakill does count.

Spoiler: Action Resolution (click to show/hide)

All actions happen simultaneously except where there could be a conflict, all conflict is resolved using the natural action processing order of resolution. Where conflict of interpretation remains, precedence will be decided randomly.

Not entirely sure how to use it..

[notquitethere]

Take the source code which can be found here and paste the text into the editor which can be found here. That will generate a bunch of roles. You can set the options to generate more.

(The initial source was broken due to a last minute change I made but now should work.)

[Maximum Spin]

Hey, another one of these, I'd like to play. I think the first one was my very first one here, wasn't it?

I don't have time to contribute to this phase right now though. I'll try to later.

[ToonyMan]

I don't think I've been in any of these.

I'll join...

There are a number of differences between this edition and the last. Firstly, there are a lot more possible role actions. Secondly, the role names can but don't always refer to the role actions in that role. Third, it's very possible to get multiple different abilities.

Here's a power I just generated which has many different features and is all one role:

Code: [Select]

[i]Madist Towndriver[/i]: As long as you are alive, Dariush cannot be watched during the night. You will show up as 'third party' when inspected and on roleflip (with this ability blanked out)

As long as you are dead, zombie urist cannot be copied during the night. While you are alive, each other player's night action has a 25% chance of affecting a random player of the same alignment

You are a Multiple User Personality. Each night you can MUP half the players targeting notquitethere: this will either watch, poison, protect or do nothing. Action: MUP


[TricMagic]

I'm only recieving ((origin)) things in the output.

Refresh the source page to make sure you're definitely getting the latest output. When you paste it into the editor, get rid of all text which is in the editor by default (forgot to mention that step).

Two Step Method For Testing The Source Code

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

[TricMagic]

Wolf Shield: Upon dying for the first two times, you will revive without flipping, and, if third-party, you will become a town-ally. You have two abilities: each night you can block another player, or each night you can curse another player's target. Actions: block, curse.

Odd.

Odd.

The 'and if third-party' is only there if the role was generated as a third-party (which it wasn't but through various mechanisms a third-party could end up having this role). It's modelled after 'Saulus' type roles in Xylbot.

Other than that, the role is just a bit OP.

[Maximum Spin]

"eavesdroped" should be "eavesdropped" and you're missing end punctuation in some cases (but you probably saw that since you've already quoted some).

The punctuation thing I will probably fix. Bad spelling for some past tense words is an unfortunate side effect of the generation method (automatically making words past tense) and will be cleaned up when I send out the role.

[TricMagic]

So, IN?

[hector13]

Bugger it, I’ll in. I can’t do any testing as my phone evidently can’t highlight enough characters to paste it into the editor.
