Welcome to Pick Your Power!
In this game, players will secretly bid on items that have useful, mysterious and sometimes dangerous effects.
Day 1 ends: Jack (Town) lynched, Thilbert (Town) killed
Day 2 ends: Kate (Town) lynched, Misosoup (Town) killed
mid-Day 3: ArnieDelsey (Town) shot
2) Please use bold tags to vote as follows: VOTE: [NAME]. Non-bolded votes will also be accepted, but are generally not preferred.
3) Lynches will occur when one player has received a majority of votes. You may post during twilight (between the hammer vote and the closing of the thread).
4) If there aren’t enough votes to eliminate a player by the time day ends, or if a majority of votes have been made to no eliminate, no eliminate will be made.
5) Do NOT quote any private communication from me, nor any mason, scum, or any topics that may or may not exist. You may paraphrase your role PM, for example, but don't copy it completely.
5.5) Do not discuss the formatting of your role PM, such as what is bolded or underlined.
6) You MAY NOT discuss the game outside of the thread unless your role specifically gives you the ability to do so.
7) Days will last ten days, or until a eliminate (or no eliminate) has been decided on.
This time will be grow shorter as the game goes on.
8) Nights will last 48 hours. You may not post in this thread during the night.
9) Please inform the mod via PM or in the thread before going V/LA. I will prod you after 48 hours of inactivity if I’m not informed, and then again after 24 hours. At that point, I will be forced to replace you.
10) If you receive more than three prods over the course of the game, I will immediately begin seeking replacement.
11) Death is final, but a single contentless "i am become dead" post will be permitted.
12) The rules may be changed/added to by me at any time, and may also be enforced post-addition.
13) This setup is non-bastard.
14) Do not edit or delete posts. This is the colour I will use when I need to edit other people's posts.
15) Do not use encryption (ciphers, invisible text etc)
16) Don't quote your role pm, your leader image, or any communications from the mod.
17) No outside influences, trust tells, posting images to show you have a busy irl schedule etc.
18) Any private communication should occur within quicktopics provided by the mod.
19) Don't screenshot anything.
20) If you think something breaks a rule then ask.
Roles that I don't consider bastard which others may:
Cult-type roles, Bus Driver, Jester, Hated, Voteless.
RULES:
During pregame, night 1, and night two, each living player will receive a list of items that they can place secret bids on. These items may give active or passive abilities, or may hold horrific secrets.
Each player starts with 100 gold. Mafia start with more than this. Other players may also start with more for assorted reasons- though we can confirm the game does not contain microtransactions.
You will be secretly placed into groups (pregame, groups of 5, this will change as the game goes on). You will not know who else is in your group.
You can bid on any of the items (with a minimum bid of 10 gold) by messaging both James and Ben what you are bidding for and how much. Ties will be determined randomly. Losers will be refunded. You will not know what an item does until you have won it, but the names contain substantial hints. You can bid on all, none, or some of these items.
Up to three items may be held at one time. If you acquire a fourth item you will have to discard one of your items. You may only use one item’s ability per night. This restriction only applies to items, you may still bid or perform as many actions as you like.
During the day phase, items will be publicly auctioned off. Five items will be auctioned day one. You must bid publicly for this item by bolding a bid in the same way you would set out a vote. In case of ties, the first bid wins the item. The auction ends whenever the day phase ends.
Notes:
Roles are explicitly not alignment indicative. We wrote a list of fifteen roles before the game, then used a RNG to determine which of these went to town and which went to mafia. These were added in addition to any other abilities that the mafia have. Likewise, names are for flavour only and do not imply a role is town or scum.
Items that are available to each bidding group were randomised pregame.
Bidding groups were randomised pregame, one group could contain none of the mafia or all of the mafia.
Roughly 60-70 items will be available for purchase throughout the game. This number is set. Auctions will end when all items have been purchased or destroyed. The exact numbers available for purchase will vary based on the day of the game.
Measures are in place to make it more difficult to coordinate purchases during the night.
We will not confirm the number of anti-town roles, or whether the game does or does not contain third parties.
