GIFTS LIST

❄ Brewster's Gift "Drink it hot or give it up." (Hot Potato)
The Hot Potato explodes at the end of a day designated by the host before the start of the game, killing the player holding it. The holder of the Hot Potato doesn't know when it will explode, but he can pass it to another player at night, separately from any night ability he has. This passing can't be blocked. If the holder gets killed, the Potato explodes killing both the holder and the killer; if the holder is lynched, the Potato [dies with him].
❄ Kicks' Gift "You never know how things might turn out." (single-use Bar Keeper redirect)
One player ends up being the drunkest and uses his night action on a random player.
❄ CJ's Gift "A night cruise is a good way to catch night fish." (single-use Mafia Detective)
The Mafia Detective has the ability to investigate one player per Night and learn the player's Role. Only he is told the role of his target via PM. Whenever the Mafia Detective's investigation ability is performed, he cannot be chosen to go for a kill on the same night.
❄ Wisp's Gift "Tah-Dahh!" (this player's votes are worded as "Ho ho ho" during the next day)

❄ Jingle's Gift "Isn't this the best time of the year, kid?" Mandatory 5th Gift
(Santa Clause: this gift allows the game to go on. At the end of the game, Santa wins with the other winning party. Happy celebration ;)



Now first lemme thank @Erinyes for her massive participation in the game. At first, I got the November slot to host alone, and she asked me to join and I'm so happy she did! She's not only a very curious and interested person so we had a very nice and easy time discussing our ideas, but she also has the strength and endurance of a lion... I was often dead while we were hosting, but Erinchi followed everything and kept the game organized. She barely slept @.@ And that's a testimony I really needed to share with you all, 'cause her dedication and calm deserve lots of appreciation.

Also thanks @Hardy and @Vandred for double-checking the game mech (and in Poop's case, the comp as well) and giving us your honest thoughts, so we could try to present a game that would be fair and entertaining to people.

And finally, even tho some other points were addressed already, I'd like to thank all the players, from the heart. I know this game was too soon because of my availability due to local holidays, and I know you guys were tired - which for sure didn't improve during this time lol. So I really need to commend you all, because you guys were either putting in a lot of time and effort inside the game, analyzing and discussing nonstop, or in the deadpad - you guys also got no rest. As hosts, that's the biggest kind of feedback we could get: to have you guys really onboard. Some moves were questionable, but no one can't say any of those teams weren't trying... it's only natural that drained people will make some mistakes, so to me that's another sign of the praise you guys deserve.

Quick comments about the game that I've mentioned in the deadpad already: in general, the idea with the mech was to add a simple new function (and we tried to map beforehand the main game new considerations we'd need to have it in place) but that could allow a new set of strategical moves to be exploited - now I would reconsider the priority we used since we realize it would have been more adherent to people's preference. The game also had 2 Traitors 'cause Pirate is a VERY weak mafia that can suicide and lose the ability to kill later on, so we wanted to give them better odds (lemme say it one more time in here that the notion that means town had 2 extra people to lynch is wrong, first because town had 2 killing tools in the Prosecutor and the Banshee, and second because they don't need to eliminate unrecruited traitors to win). It had 2 Psys 'cause even tho we wanted mafia to have better chances to recruit, that didn't mean we wanted them to recruit BOTH, so town had more chances to find at least one on the other hand (even if one role would get erased eventually), and at the same time the role could cause some confusion that mafia could exploit. The Mortician came in place to trace stuff like Santa and fake claims/transfers regarding any role/action that got "buried" - imo it's more effective than the SM because it can target antitown and spot unknown stuff that could still be in-game; it was a late game resource that had good chances of being effective with the role transfer mech. The Necromancer was also in there for its recycling capabilities since we'd have roles being lost, and in this setup it would be less OP than it usually is, since his options would still be reduced. The Santa was there for extra fun, imo, since the role could still be used even if the OG player and their wincon was gone: two gifts - that we expected to be the last ones - were clear signs that there was a Santa in-game in case it would fly by too successfully - and even that was just to cause some ruckus since the last gift allowed the game to go on after Santa would win - which to me it's a needed measure so we won't have sudden major frustration with an unexpected game end (I do understand why the game usually has to end when Santa is in it, so people don't ignore the role, but in this case we saw an opportunity to play around that and fix the issue regarding that); Santa's other gifts were there to provide some extra spice but unfortunately, as you can see in the night actions, I made a mistake while processing GB's action with the Hot Potato. GB got blocked by Evil when he tried to pass it to James and I overlooked it that the passing can't be blocked. It would have been simple to fix it during the day by PMing the both of them if Bran didn't spy on GB and, coincidentally, Sam hadn't claimed the exact same action and outcome. After discussing with some people, we reached the conclusion that the attitude that would cause the least interference and damage to a bigger number of players would be to just remove the Hot Potato from the game and inform that to GB, which is what we did.

GG mafia, you fought the long battle and won! GG town, it's never easy to be on the more clueless side, trying to put pieces together. GG Santa cause Santa is always fun~

Maybe they should, lol, I managed to stay alive way longer as early claimed Det than the actual one who waited for confirmation of his results. Sometimes you gotta play with Mafia's fears and their imaginations. XD
Nah that only worked because you were blocked that game but still had results, so mafia knew you were lying. Pls don‘t repeat this as an actual non-GB Det.

After reading the rules again, I think it‘s because you can‘t keep your old role, so mafia could override a good town role. And if it‘s a good mafia role too hey can just kill that player at night and guess the role they gave?

Other than that I don‘t see any benefit in giving mafia role to town. I guess framing purposes too?

Tho I‘m not sure we should be openly strategizing for them lmao.
Quoting the rules here:

"Receiving a role from a different alignment will not affect your current one - additionally, a player cannot receive the ability to perform "faction kills" at night"

That doesnt make sense Gry

Also I would rather discuss all this openly so we all know what to expect, or do you prefer them to discuss the possibilities in their Mafia pad instead?
--- Double Post Merged, ---

" Receiving a role from a different alignment will not affect your current one "; if you get a role from a different faction, you can use its abilities that aren't killing related.
And yes you're informed that your role changed.
Ohhh so double role stuff, ok ok.
The mechanic suddenly became way more complex :XD

Well this is a bit ambiguous. Depends how you understand the word „your current one“.

Is it talking about your „current role“? Imo no, because there‘s much easier ways to write that.

Is it talking about your „current alignment“? Imo yes.

English is fun. Hope the role passing doesn‘t miss timing.

Ah okay, if its that way things would be simpler, but also would give Mafia a rather cheap way to sabotage good town roles

Is it cheap tho if they must lose members to do it? Sounds more like a rubberband-mechanic. But we could technically also delete mafia roles like Assassin in the same way.

You always lose the role you had before, when receiving the new one.
And this part is important as to why we need to know early who is active/passive, even if there are 3 or more lying scumbags hiding in there, because otherwise a not so important townie role might accidentally "kill" a good townie role by passing it to said townie who hold onto the good role and stayed silent in hopes of avoiding becoming a Mafia kill target.
Active role claimers like myself should declare who they gonna pass their role to before the night starts, that way town at least gonna know who got the role and in case it was a mafia they can demand results which Mafia might be unable to give.

There‘s actually potential for some big plays hereby dead players, impressive mechanic. Kinda like how Saint Seiya by same Farf host also gave strong agency to dead players

But this is very much a double-edge sword. Anyone who says „don‘t give me roles!“ practically screams to mafia that they have something good. Which mafia can then overwrite with their dead players, or outright kill. We should hint but be very very cautious of anythin extra this early.

Oh, interesting mechanics. I love the avatars, they're all so cute!

Welp, since Vand is not here, @Lambu you're taking the bullet instead of your mentor. :lambirb Votekill lambu

In addition to that @Farfalla @Erinyes I want to put my prosecutor mark on Lambu too.
Wait WHAT

Wait what? Oh well, that is either an early townie confirmation or early Mafia kill. If it is a townie confirmation we love pompom, if it is a mafia kill we know pompom's good to throw our roles at if we die.

It is cheap because mafos get to damage Town gratuitiously even if the latter lynched them correctly, for once it sounds like an unfair punishment for Town :lmao

Hm, another thing I just noticed:
@Erinyes @Farfalla the rules say that the selection occurs in the phase following the kill, meaning we get told what role the killed had after N1 and then the dead player choses during D2 who to give it to? Meaning no roles are hidden which also means once Mafia killed someone they can sort of track the openly declared role if someone comes out that they received a role. But it also gives us information so that is better than a basic "Janitor" mechanic that hides all roles when killed/lynched. Just wanted to confirm it is that way.

Lambu are you donezo?
Nope, honestly now that the laugh died down Im kinda sad that Pom did herself like this so soon
I was confident on confirming my towniness with my playstyle, using a prosecutor was overkill.
