As long as the mad hatter uses the special death scene this game it'll turn out awesome.

Everyone gets to *pick* a power, assuming you don't overlap with anyone higher on the list, so everyone who picks an unique power winds up with a power. If you overlap with someone higher in the draft order you are out of luck and end up being vanilla.

Read the op *very* carefully. this is one of the most complex/fun setups around, but you need to understand the rules.

Do you have to be a mafioso to pick mafia roles like framer and roleblocker?


Lol DB why would town want a framer?

To deny it to mafia. Denying mafia strong roles is a viable way to make your picks. Kenpachi did this in PYP:3, where he picked GF to keep it out of the hands of the mafia.

Same deal here, don't want a pesky assassin killing off town roles? Pick it. Don't want the roleblocker bothering townies? Take it. Want DTs to be more reliable? Pick framer.


I don't want framer I want roleblocker :D

It's my favourite role. Noone steal it I'm so claiming it!

I can see it now, DB in the number 1 spot, "huh, I could pick Jack, or Inventor, or Assassin (which is INCREDIBLE, I will be higly dissapointed if it is not taken in the top 5 spots), or Rock Star... nah, roleblocker! "

This is actually quite likely, I would take roleblocker over those 4

And bugs if I did get framer I would immediately frame kitaman27. Actually, there's a lot of roles I'd use on him come to think of it. Maybe I should choose America...

Signups are full, roles will go out tonight.

Also, anyone can pick any role. If somebody higher in the draft order picked your role before you do, you get no role.

So town high on the list should pick big power roles that mafia would want, in the hopes that they lock those out?

I mean alignments. Then the number picking phase starts (24 hours), then the role picking phase (24 hours), then day 1 elections start.

or pick really powerful town roles that town would want, so you can rape mafia with them, up to you. Then there are roles that are good for scum *and* town, mostly kp and utility roles, like jack and inventor. With multiple mafia factions and KP detterence/protection roles are also valuable.

Read the PYP:I postgame if you haven't yet, Ver goes into some detail on proper role picking.

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=235829

Basically town wants to avoid overlap because the more blues town has the more boned the mafia is, higher slots are more valuable to the mafia as well, since they have fewer players they want stronger roles, the town doesn't care as much because they can have a metric craptone of blues if they handle things properly.

In my opinion the three strongest roles in this game are the jack of all trades (up to 6 kp), the assassin (raper roleclaimers), the extractor + assassin + rolecop is a beastly combo in the hands of scum ( equivalent to *at least* +2 kp, more when idiotic townies claim), and the inventor (they sky is the limit as far as using its powers go). Rockstar is also extremely strong.

I could talk about the setup for hours but I don't want to ruin the fun for the people actually playing, so hit me up on IRC later if you really want to discuss it.

also, people not playing, but watching, I'm making a non-player/dead-player QT, PM for it

Just realized I've never played a PYP game during the picking phase, isnt it now time to come up with some convoluted picking plan?

Sevryn is on the ban list, so I'll count his /in as a /sitout. Game will still start tonight as planned.

Mafia get their teammates before the drafting phase//Everybody gets their alignment. Then after the drafting, the list gets put up with the order people ranked in at before the picking phase.
If I'm not mistaken.

Once alignments go out, we will have plenty to discuss. Plenty....

Rock Star bodyguards are taken from vanilla players-
So here's a question that likely won't need an answer but...
What happens if there aren't two vanilla roles?
