Pretty sure vmf suspecting me lock clears me, sweet.

Anyway, I just want some idea how the mechanics work, and mod specifically says people who played World cup will have an idea how it works.

Just some friendly jibes at your Simpsons mash villa killing spree. I totally forgot you were in Dexter (if that's what you're referring to?).

I don't think I'm particularly easy to read in early game. I seem to draw heat early on in either role purely because I put out a lot of volume and there's always gonna be something someone disagrees with or thinks has to be a wolftell.l

This may be inadvisable if you do not like jibes about shooting villagers.

So please read all of this, it won't take very long.

Penalty Shots

Every single player in the game has a penalty shot %. This % is not a secret and is revealed to every player in their role PM. You are free to discuss them in the game thread.

A penalty shot is essentially a day vig, but whether or not that vig shot will be successful depends on your penalty shot %. If you are fortunate enough to be awarded a penalty shot, you will be informed via PM by the mod. From the moment you are awarded a penalty shot, you have 60 minutes to submit the vig shot by PMing the mod. Every penalty shot result will be revealed in the game thread but the shooter will not. A penalty shot target will only be revealed on a successful attempt (death). You are free to discuss in the game thread anything related to penalty shots, including that you have been awarded one, or to claim one after the fact.

How and when will penalty shots be awarded? They will be awarded in a variety of ways that relate to your participation. The more you participate, the more likely you'll win a shat. People familiar with this mechanic from World Cup MASH will have a general idea how they might be awarded, but will have no inherent advantage. No one player can win more than 2 penalty shots per day (there are some exceptions to this). And remember, they have an expiration of 60 minutes from the moment they are awarded.

Penalty Shots will be awarded at a rate consistent with the size of the player list throughout the game. They will stop being awarded when we have 8 or less players remaining.

Power Plays

Power Plays are an EVENT that requires team chemistry and will award 100% day vig shots. Hopefully this won't be too convoluted but a similar mechanic I used before worked pretty well. At any rate, this is kinda important, hopefully fun, and something that will occur quite a few times and possibly have a pretty influential impact on the game. So it's best to familiarize yourself with it now.

Power Plays will take place at random times throughout the game, as an EVENT.

I'll post

The first 5 players to in will take part in the power play. They will then be randed their power play roles; 1 point man and 4 forwards. These players cannot be targeted by actions until the conclusion of the event.

After positions are announced in the game thread, each player has 5 minutes to PM the mod their action. Actions will be made public once they are all submitted.

Each role has 2 available actions:

Point man can setup forward x where x is 1 of the 4 forwards participating. It's up to them who they want to setup. Or they can take a slapshot if they wish.

Forwards can either create space/screen or attempt goal.

YOU MAY NOT DISCUSS POWER PLAY ACTIONS IN THE GAME THREAD EVER - this is a very strict rule. Power Play success depends on unspoken and natural chemistry, not collusion. The ONLY thing that can be discussed in the game thread regarding power plays is reads pertaining to a power play after the fact (example: "nutshot setup Vagos, who was a wolf, so nutshot might be a wolf too). That sort of post is ok. ANY SORT OF pre-planned strategy for power plays in the game thread will be met with swift punishment and possibly a game misconduct (elimination from the game). This is your warning.

In chats that exist outside the game thread, any and all pre planned strategies for power plays are allowed.

You will need to be in sync as a unit. Who will the point man setup? As a forward, will you create space/screen or attempt a goal? Everything culminates in how successful the PP opportunity will be.

If the point man decides to setup forward x, then

TOTAL ODDS OF SUCCESS:
100%: Point man's setup target attempts a goal, all 3 other forwards create space/screen
60%: Point man's setup target attempts a goal, 2/3 other forwards create space/screen
20%: Point man's setup target attempts a goal, 1/3 other forwards create space/screen
5%: Anyone who attempts a goal that wasn't setup by the point man will have a 5% chance of scoring - likewise, if all 4 forwards attempt a goal, they'll all be 5% each, regardless of who was setup
0%: All 4 forwards create space/screen

If the point man decides to take a slapshot, he will have a 10% base chance to score a goal, with 10% added for each forward who chooses to create space/screen.

Again, all actions will be made public, and then a rand will take place.

Successful Power Play - so what happens when a power play is successful? Simple - the goal scorer will be awarded a DAY VIG.

Failure of teamwork will reward the bad guys though. All failed power play attempts will result in a random wolf being awarded a penalty shot on the shorthand (these compensation penalty shots won't count towards the limit of 2, and can be proxied).

One last thing - many players will have PP powers based on their real life skills on the PP. For the most part, these specific powers are redacted from role PMs in order to ensure the NO POWER PLAY STRATEGY rule is not broken. However in most cases, PM flavor will strongly suggest if you have one of these powers. This info is to help you decide what to do on the PP with your character, but again, this information is not to be used to formulate PP strategy in the game thread - EVER. Since character claiming is allowed, inferences about PP skills can be made about a claimed character, but are not to be discussed.

These powers will range from minor to quite formidable, but PP skills won't be uncommon and it's very likely most PPs will be affected in various unseen ways.

PM me any questions you have.

IT IS NIGHT! NO POSTING!

Makes me think your world cup questions are just fake. If you cared about mechanics, you should read the OP posts.

This is not really tunneling. This is just some calculated pressure as always. I am always adjusting. Everyone gets accused of tunneling though.

I read the posts. It doesn't say if stuff starts d1, and at one point it specifically says that it's not telling how penalty shats are awarded but that people who played world cup should know.

Meh, think you do not really care as much as 2 posts asking about it would suggest. I played in the world cup game but died early. I think they started day 2. Might have been random. not really sure

Vmf I do not need to care about something particularly much to make two posts about it.

Idk if anyone told you this but you can basically post about whatever you want.

Early game readz:

- VMF tunnelling for weird reasons well within his villa range
- younguns should know this and so his vote there is just odd
- Kruze dropping one post and vanishing doesn't seem usual for Kruze, iirc he's normally one of the more active night posters. Not sure if thread opened later than the times when I've seen him post up a storm overnight though.
