You receive a short message from webadict.  “Hey guys, I found a website that does all the actions for me, and I’m lazy.”  You click the link and find that, indeed, all you need to do is type in your role name and click a few boxes…

After that, you find yourself looking at a small countdown timer, that shows “Now Loading... Waiting for previous game to end.”


This is BYOR 16 (A.K.A. Bring Your Own Role).  You can choose any role, whether it be a picture, short story, Wikipedia page, molecule, idea, noun, dream, favorite color, star athlete, cosmological sign…  You get the idea, I hope, and if you don’t just ask for a role, and one shall be provided to you at no additional cost.  Please include a short description, Wikipedia link, or video (preferably short), anything will suffice.  If there is no explanation, and I'm oblivious to the knowledge, you might be in a bit of trouble, as I casually make things up out of a hat.  I'll make up the actions for your role.  No matter what your role, no action or alignment will ever be guaranteed.

With that introduction out of the way, let's get down to the important bits.

This game will end signups on April 9th.

Game Theme:  Four-Squared

The following rules are in effect this game:
 - When you signup, you may choose up to 1 idea to be added to the flavor.
 - When you signup, you may choose up to 2 Action types to be added to your role from the following list:  [Super,  Copy,  Hide,  Bus,  Block,  Redirect,  Protect,  Kill,  Recruit,  Inspect,  Learn,  Watch,  Track,  Delay,  Motivate,  Randomize,  Gift,  Auto,  Evolve,  Vote]
 - All Players now have 3 Action Points per Phase that can be spent on Actions, instead of one Action per Phase.  Actions will list their Action cost instead of their Priority, which has been deprecated.
 - When you signup, you may send in Town or Mafia.  You will be 4 times more likely to receive this Alignment.

Because of this rule change, the Mafiakill has now been changed to the following:

{AP1} (Night, Mafiakill) Mafiakill [target]:  Kill the target.
Tags:  Kill

Spoiler: Basic rules (click to show/hide)

 - You must send in a role when you sign-up.
 - Days are 72 hours long.  Weekends only count for 24 hours.  Extensions are reserved for extreme situations.
 - Nights last 24 hours or whenever all actions are sent in and processed.  You MUST send in your action(s) (or send in that you're doing no action), or you will assumed missing.
 - No PMing to anyone but me.
 - No Quoting PMs from the mod.  You may paraphrase your PM, but if you break this rule, you will be banned from future games I run.
 - Semi-hammers in effect.  If a player receives a majority of votes, the Day ends and the player is chosen for execution immediately.  If you accidentally post something after the hammer, you MUST edit your post and remove all content.
 - Official Votecounts will be posted at least once every 24 hours, though more will be attempted.
 - There may be optional Post Restrictions.  If you wish to have a Post Restriction, you may say as such when sending a role.  Post Restrictions will typically award bonuses for completion, as opposed to negatives for failing.
 - I cannot answer questions about a player's role unless that player's role is available to be seen (e.g. Roleflips.) I cannot answer questions about your role in thread. I can, however, answer generic questions. I will simply ask you to rephrase the question, if I deem the question is bad.
 - Please vote in Red (bold is optional). Mamobo will be watching, and it’s very partial to it.

Also, for those without knowledge of how I style roles, here's a little cheat sheet:

Spoiler: Webadict on Actions (click to show/hide)

Common questions:

Q. What is a Cycle/Phase?
A. A Cycle is a Day and Night Phase. There are generally two Phases in a Cycle.

Q. Can I use more than one ability during a Phase?
A. You can spend any number of Action Points that you have on Actions, so long as the total number of Action Points is less than or equal to your total number of Action Points.

Q.  Can I use the same Action during a Phase?
A.  If you have enough Action Points to use it.

Q. Can I self-target?
A. Not unless the action specifically states that you can. It is now labeled [target/self] or [self] for easy viewing!

Q. Can I target 2 or more people?
A. Only if stated in the action with [target x(some number)] or [target1] [target2] … [targetN].

Q. If my action doesn't have a Phase to be used in, can I use it any time?
A. Yes!

Q. Can I Mafiakill and use an ability on the same Night?
A. This counts as using two abilities, so not unless you are allowed to use two abilities.

So, let’s see an example Action:

{AP3} (1-Shot, Night) Inspect-o-tron 2500 [target]:  You fire up the Inspect-o-tron 2500, Learning the target’s Name, Role, and Alignment.  If the target is Mafia, this Action is Refunded.
Tags:  Inspect, Learn

{AP#} now refers to the number of Action Points it takes to use this Action.  (In this case, 3!)
(1-Shot, Night) means that this Action can only be used once and during the Night Phase.
Inspect-o-tron 2500 is the Action Name.  This is typically just for flavor, but certain Action may use it.
[target] means that this Action must be used on another Player.
The Tags listed below are ways of grouping this Action. A common Tags will be listed below.

Common Tags:
Super,  Copy,  Hide,  Bus,  Block,  Redirect,  Protect,  Kill,  Recruit,  Inspect,  Learn,  Watch,  Track,  Delay,  Motivate,  Randomize,  Gift,  Auto,  Evolve,  Vote

Spoiler: Webadict on Action Order (click to show/hide)

This section has changed!

This game will now accurately model Natural Action Resolution.  Essentially, any time actions would interfere with others, NAR takes effect, other all Actions interact with each other normally.  If, failing this, the Actions still cannot be resolved, all offending actions fail.  (E.g.  Two Roleblockers blocking each other will have their actions fail.)

If a player is not a viable target at the time they are actioned, the action fails. Players will be notified of this failure. Any limited shots will be refunded if an action is blocked or fails.

Spoiler: Webadict on Alignments (click to show/hide)

Quick Q & A for alignments:

Q. Does the Mafia have a kill they can use at Night?
A. Yes. It is called the Mafiakill.  It costs 1 Action Point.  It is available to all members of the Mafia unless otherwise stated.  The Mafiakill would be an Action equivalent to the following:
{AP1} (Night, Mafiakill) Mafiakill [target]:  Kill the target.
Tags:  Kill

Q. Does the SK/Cult have a built-in kill/convert?
A. No. No other alignment besides Mafia has any group/alignment ability available to them.

You are given one of these 13 alignments when the game starts. Usually, it will be Town, but you might be lucky!

Alignment: Town
Wincon: You win when all Anti-Town factions are dead and at least one Town member is alive.

[Egan_BW]

I suck at this game and the times I've had fun with it have all been very stupid. But no harm in a PTW.

...Maybe when Bring 3 is near complete I'll see how I feel about joining.

- Semi-hammers in effect.  If a player receives a majority of votes, the Day ends and the player is chosen for execution immediately.  If you accidentally post something after the hammer, you MUST edit your post and remove all content.

Does this apply only to the person who got hammered, or does it apply to anyone who posted after the hammer?

All players.  No more discussion is to be had after hammer has fallen.

Also, how do we provide the information mentioned in the OP (role, etc.)?  Do we post it in the thread?

You send the information to the game mod (webadict) via PM.

Note the 'My Messages' tab, and the little conversation sign underneath webadict's profile picture.

PM me your role name and any additional information you deem necessary (Some people give additional information or links for context.)

I also sorta want to give false information in-thread.

[hector13]

Goddammit webadict I have family visiting soon and probably shouldn’t play mafia whole they’re here so stop making games so interesting looking.

Edit:

When you signup, you may choose up to 2 Action types to be added to your role from the following list:  [Super,  Copy,  Hide,  Bus,  Block,  Redirect,  Protect,  Kill,  Recruit,  Inspect,  Learn,  Watch,  Track,  Delay,  Motivate,  Randomize,  Gift,  Auto,  Evolve,  Vote]

D’ya mind giving us a rundown of what to expect from each thing? They’re mostly self-explanatory, but I have learned not to make assumptions in your games, usually after the fact…
