Games Mafia Game 118 - Honkai Star Rail: Stars Against Humanity - END

GAME END

In a realm where the boundaries of reality blurred into the ethereal, the simulated universe had flourished as a playground for intrepid explorers. However, as the quest to unravel the mysteries of Aha unfolded, unforeseen challenges emerged, necessitating the interruption of this simulated cosmic tapestry. The delicate balance of the virtual cosmos became precarious, threatening to cascade into chaos. The geniuses of the Space Base made the difficult decision to halt the simulation, prompting the explorers to disengage from the simulated experience.

Screwllum: Hello, travelers. It looks like The Propagation took over our experience...

Honkai Star Rail - Stars Against Humanity

Intro

Hello and welcome to Herta's Space Station, Voyager from Beyond the Stars.
You have been selected to participate in the BETA test for the newest version of the critically acclaimed Simulated Universe.

To guide you through this endeavor, the Member #83 of the Genius Society and one of the greatest minds of the current Amber era: Herta

*Ahem* Well, thank you for your attention and all that. Im busy, so it would be for the best if we could skip the pleasantries and dive straight into the topic at hand.

This project focuses on the creation of a virtual world built through the insurmountable amounts of knowledge provided by Nous the Erudition, Aether coding and blah-blah... yeah you ought to know all this if you are here right?
Anyway, for this particular version of the experiment Screwllum and I have decided to explore the matter pertaining to The Elation and their influence on past events.

We suspect their voice lead to the development of many catastrophes of cosmic magnitude, such as the Swarm Disaster, so understanding how far has their twisted sense of fun turned things in a particular direction is key to know what really happened.

Your mission is simple, meet Aha and play along with their antics.

Beware of any familiar figures while inside the Elation's domain, it is well documented that this Aeon takes joy in the suffering born from witless ignorance. They will test your intellect with fake projections of your trusted companions, which in kind will actively attack whenever you let your guard down.
Unmask the impostors and survive the Elation's plane ordeal, perhaps we might learn something new if you earn their respect.

On a sidenote, during the last simulations Aha has been oddly fixated on a card game of sorts... huh, good luck with that I guess. We have left directives on how to engage with its gameplay imprinted into your memory banks, which you can download once you enter the program.

Any questions?

No? Then hurry and go already, this game is not going to play itself.

Mechanic

At the beginning of every Night phase, all players will receive the same black card with a question or a sentence they must address.

During the Night phase, every player should write down an answer to that question/complement for the sentence (white card). If there's more than one slot for you to answer/fill in, then submit more than one white card within this PM.

At the beginning of every following Day Phase, the black card will be displayed with all the options (white cards) the players submitted.

The options will be listed in a poll, and players must vote during the day phase for their favorite one. The authors and the voting are anonymous, and the results will only be displayed at the end of the Day.

Along with the winning option, a singular perk, awarded to the winning author, will be revealed (in the case of ties, there will be a coin toss).

Every perk will be presented with the details for its usage, which has to happen in the upcoming phase when it's viable (either a Day or Night phase).

Players who fail to submit white cards at Night and vote for white cards during the Day will receive 1 vote penalty.

People are free to reveal their votes and perks, but they're forbidden to reveal their white cards at any point in the game.

Mafia Rules

Players will be secretly assigned roles. One group will play the "Mafia"; the other group will play the "Townies". The Townies will not know who other Townies or Mafia members are. However the Mafia members will know who their fellow Mafia members are.

During the "day" phase, all of the players debate the identities of the Mafia members and at the end each person will vote to eliminate a suspect. This is carried out in the "game thread". In the game's "night" phase the Mafia will privately discuss who they should kill. They will then send this person’s name to the host, as well as other actions. The goal of the Town is to eliminate every single Non-Town Faction. The goal of the Non-Town Factions is not only to have an equal number of members as remaining Townies, but also to completely kill off all the other Non-Town Factions, except explicitly stated otherwise.

A typical game will start with a minimum of 7 players, 5 Townies and 2 Mafia members. The members that will be Mafia and Townies will be chosen through a random list generator. There the participating players' names will be put in and after the randomisation the Mafia roles will go to the names at the top of the list. This is to avoid butthurt and favouritism accusations. :'[

Lastly, the numbers of Mafia Members depends on the number of participants!

7 - 10 = 2 Mafias
11 - 13 = 3 Mafias
14 - 17 = 4 Mafias
18 - 20 = 5 Mafias
21 - 24 = 6 Mafias
etc.

This number is only for guidance, there can be more/less mafias than written here depending on the other roles in the game like two mafia groups, recruitable roles etc.

The game will be split up into two phases: Day and Night.

PHASE 1: DAY
This is where you discuss/argue about who is and isn't mafia. As soon as the day phase starts, you are allowed to vote. The day phase will take place strictly inside the “game” thread. Any discussions regarding the day phase outside the thread will be dealt with severely.
The length of a Day phase is set by the host, usually starting at ~24 hours and getting shorter the less players remain alive.
VOTE KILL [user]
This will be the manner in which you vote. Make sure it is clearly displayed in your post though caps/coloured or bold font.
You will be only allowed 1 vote change per phase. So use your vote wisely.
PHASE 2: NIGHT
The host closes the game thread during the night phases.
There should be no discussion about the game during the night phase, regardless of the player being still in the game or already out.

During the night phase, the mafia members will collaborate and choose who they want to kill. They will not do this in the thread, but via PM's with each other/other alternative communication channels approved by the host, such as piratepad.

At the beginning of the game the Mafia members will be informed of the other members. They must PM the host telling them their choice for the night's murder and the murderer from their team. There can only be one murder in the night phase therefore the mafia members must come to an agreement.

If the Mafia don't send in their night kill before the night phase ends, then their action will not be performed. The Mafia can also send in their night actions during the previous day phase, if they think they will not be online during the coming night.

The length of a Night phase is set by the host, usually ~12 hours.

ACTIVITY RULES

Be active in every day phase and post at least three times. It's a Minor Violation if you don't do that and will result in Penalty Vote(s)/Hostkill and ban from future games (Hall of Shame). If you are going to miss out a period of time due to real life events make sure to inform the host, who is going to judge each situation individually and decide whether or not taking the player out of the game is necessary.
Place at least one vote every day phase. It's a Minor Violation if you forget to place a vote and will result in Penalty Vote(s)/Hostkill and ban from future games (Hall of Shame).
Don't post more than 100 times per day phase. This is to reduce spam and the volume of posts per game. Nobody has time to go through hundreds of one liner posts with the same content over and over again (Imperium Copyright Rule). If you hit the volume restriction, it's a Minor Violation. You will get a Penality Vote per 10 additional posts you make.
No talking during Night Phases, except for some roles that it is explicitly allowed and encouraged to. The Night phases are only to send in Night Actions. The scale of punishment for players who are caught discussing game content in the night may vary from Minor Violation to instant Hostkill, depending on the seriousness of the comment and/or warnings given before.
Dead people can't talk, so don't post once your character is dead. You are not allowed to help or influence others in any way if you are dead, including liking posts in the game thread or discussing game content in the Discussion thread. You can, however, lurk the game thread. If you post or influence the game regardlessly, you will be banned from future games (Hall of Shame).

OUTER THREAD RULES

Absolutely DO NOT discuss the game outside of the game thread (unless you are Mafia members discussing it with other mafia through pms/piratepad). This is so that people do not reveal their roles and ruin the game. Players violating this rule will be instantly hostkilled and banned from future games (Hall of Shame).
Do not directly comment on the current game, once you are dead. This is so you don't influence the players that are still playing. Violator of this rule will be banned from future games (Hall of Shame).

OTHER GAME RULES

Post at least 3 times and Vote at least once every Day Phase.
Don't post more than 100 times per day phase.
No talking during the Night Phases, no talking about the game outside the game thread and no talking if you are dead.
You are not allowed to quote or screenshot PMs relating to the game, this includes quoting your Host, your role PM, or any private communication with other players. (You may, however, paraphrase in a way that leaves room for reasonable doubt). This also includes describing unimportant PM-details(color/font of text, fluff pics etc.) with intent to confirm your PM contents. If you do, you will be hostkilled and banned from future games (Hall of Shame). Fake screenshots and quotes will be treated the same as genuine ones.
Daytime-specific commands cannot be used in the last hour of the day phase.
Following the basic forum rules and the Fun Forum guideline, players are not allowed to insult nor bash each other, this will not be tolerated and will be punished. The infraction will follow the standard host approach for minor violations, favouring the host's discretion.
You are not allowed to ignore directions sent in to you by the host. It's a Minor Violation if you fail to respond accordingly.
You are not allowed to majorly edit the content of your posts, nor delete any of your own or someone else's post without the Host's approval. If you do, you may get a Minor Violation punishment or hostkilled immediately and banned from future games (Hall of Shame).
You are expected to play to your win condition(s). Intentionally undermining your team or joining a game with the sole intent to troll is not allowed. ("Bad" or "alternative" plays, however, are allowed, if you sincerely believe in their merit.) Remember that while you are playing for fun, others take the game seriously. Please do not play against your win condition or play in a manner that is deliberately harmful to your side, regardless of how small your chances are. (This infraction will follow the host's judgment or, if needed a second opinion, the Council's. It's recommended that the hosts don't do anything with the infractor during the game and only do so once the game is over.)

RULE BREAKING, PUNISHMENT & HALL OF SHAME

Minor Violations are "small rules violations", which do not result in a hostkill instantly, but are sanctioned with Penalty Votes first. For the first Minor Violation you get 1 Penalty Vote, for the second you get 3 Penalty Votes and the third gets you hostkilled. Three Minor Violations of any kind are a Major Violation and will lead to a hostkill.
If you disobey the rules above that are resulting with you being host killed and/or banned from future games, you will get registered in the Hall of Shame.
One Major Violation bans you from the upcoming game.
A second Major Violation of the same kind will ban you from the next three games.
A third Major Violation and you are out from all upcoming games.
No amnesty or prescription until further notice.

DAY PHASES & VOTINGS

Each active player has to vote during a day phase. Each player has the chance to change his vote once.
A day phase can be ended earlier, if and only if one player has collected more than a half+1 of the second votes ("locked votes") of all players and each player has voted at least once (Absolute Majority Voting).
If by the end of the regular time of the day phase two or more players have the same amount of votes, the second votes ("locked votes") are decisive. The player with the most locked votes is being lynched.
If one or more players have the same amount of votes and locked votes, the time of the regular day phase won't be extended. The lynch will be randomised among these top voted players.

NIGHT PHASES & ACTIONS

During the night phase each player that has a role with a night action may send it in to the host via PM.
The player may or may not make use of his action. If the player misses the deadline and does not submit his action within the given time, it is seen as not used action. It is possible, however, to submit it before the start of the night, if the player already knows he has no time to do it later.
The night actions are listed in Priority groups. The higher the priority ranking, the more likely it is that the night action is being executed successfully. First actions to be performed are those from P1, then P2 and ending with P3.
If two night action roles from the same priority group target the same player at night a coin flip will decide which night action is executed first.
