The International Inventor's Conference had started. All the inventor's from around the world gathered together to showcase their many inventions. Sadly, a few of the participants mean to ruin the conference and monopolize the creations made by the community.

UNUSUAL MECHANICS
- Each Day will have a special lynch mechanic randomly selected by a pre-day selection.
- Use these special mechanics to aid in scumhunting/hiding yourself from town.

My own ISO (as requested)

PLAYERS
Raging Bull - Mafia Goon - Won D4
Sephibro - Mafia Roleblocker - Survived D4
pieguy1372 - Mafia Godfather - Escaped D4


Nyquill - Vanilla Townie - Executed D1
Jinxy - Cop - Killed N1
rEdo Tsukasa - Vanilla Townie - Dual-Lynched D2
CalignoBot - Vanilla Townie - Dual-Lynched D2
fartownik - Doctor - Eliminated D3
-kevincela- - Universal Backup - Killed N3
CTs-Th - Tracker - Endgamed D4
Irreversible - Vanilla Townie - Endgamed D4
Tanzklaue - Vanilla Townie - Endgamed D4

ROLES
2 - Mafia will be randomly selected from: Godfather, Ninja, Roleblocker, Rolecop
1 - Mafia Goon
3 - Town will be randomly selected from: Cop, Doctor, Tracker, Watcher, Vigilante
1 - Universal Backup
5 - Vanilla Townies

RULES:
SPOILER
General:
1) Do not quote your role PM or anything the mod gives to you.
2) Do not post screenshots or any sort of factual evidence of private communications, either with the mod or amongst yourselves.
3) Do not edit your posts.
4) Do not talk outside of the thread, unless your role PM allows so.
5) Mod has the final say on any issue. If the mod makes a mistake, feel free to PM him to sort it out. Alternatively address the mod in bold in the thread.
6) If you need any help, or have questions, feel free to PM the mod.
7) Dead people may not post in the thread.

Day:
1) Game starts at the Day phase.
2) Deadlines are set at the start of the Day. Extensions may be placed depending on the activity.
3) You may vote someone by using this format: Vote : Player. You may also choose to not lynch anyone: Vote: No-Lynch
4) You may also remove your vote by using this format: Unvote
5) When a player receives more than half of the total votes at any point during the day, that player is automatically lynched.
6) Once a player is lynched, there shall be no posting in the thread even before the mod posts the lynch scene. Night will commence shortly.
7) Specific Lynch Mechanics mentioned at the start of the day will override any of the rules place above.

Night:
1) Night lasts 24 hours.
2) Any roles or factions with active night abilities may choose to use them by PM-ing the mod (see the Role PM for role-specific instructions).
3) Once the deadline for night has passed, all actions not received will count as a No Action.

Activity:
1) A player has to remain active, at least one post per 24 hours. If a player has not posted for 24 hours, one may request for them to be prodded.
2) If the player prodded doesn't respond, a he/she will be replaced.
3) If the player gets prodded three times already and still becomes inactive he/she will be automatically replaced.
4) If no replacement can be found. The player will be modkilled instead.

SAMPLE MECHANIC:
Trust and Doubt :
- You are given one lynch vote and one save vote today.
- A lynch vote counts as (+1) to the lynch total, while a save vote counts as a (-1) to the lynch total.
- Whoever gets the most number of votes at the end of the day will be lynched.
- If it was a tie, the one who received the most votes first gets lynched.
- To use a lynch vote, type: LYNCH VOTE: PERSON ;; Conversely, to save vote, type: SAVE VOTE: PERSON.
- The deadline is in two weeks, but you may choose to vote for the day to end by typing: END THE DAY. Hammer rules apply.

Disclaimer:
I've tried my best to balance the roles here, but the lynch mechanic may be a bit swingy depending on which is obtained, so fair warning.

SAMPLE ROLE PM'S:
Mafia
You are a Mafia Goon. Your partners are XXX and YYY.
You may communicate in this QT at Night: <link>
You have a factional kill each Night.
You win when you control half the votes and nothing can prevent it otherwise.
Townie
You are a Townie.
You do not have any special abilities.
You win when all threats to the Town are gone.
Town Power Role
You are a *insert power role*.
Each Night, you may *insert what the role does here*.
You win when all threats to the Town are gone.
Universal Backup
You are a Universal Backup.
You will replace and take the role of the first Town power role to die.
You win when all threats to the Town are gone.

MECHANIC OF THE DAY:
Day 4
Jury Voting:
- In order to lynch someone, everyone except the lynchee must be voting the lynchee.
- If no lynch occurs, power roles are not allowed to submit an action for the succeeding Night.
Day 3
Process of Elimination:
- Voting will result in a person being removed from the lynch pool.
- Those who are removed from the lynch pool can still vote.
- The process will repeat until two people are left, and whoever is still in the lynch pool will get lynched for that day.
- There will be one voting period over the span of 48 hours (reduced to 24 hours after half the remaining players are removed from lynch pool)
- The moment someone is hammered by voting, he is removed from the lynch pool.
- In case of ties, the first person to receive the most amount of votes will be the one who will be removed from the lynch pool.
Day 2
Double the Lynch!
- There will be two lynches today.
- Everyone will receive TWO votes which he/she must use on different people.
- Please distinguish your vote by this format: Vote1: Player A | Vote2: Player B
- You may unvote by this format: Unvote1 | Unvote2
- The day automatically ends when one person is hammered. The person with the next highest amount of votes will be lynched in tandem.
- The deadline is in one week, but you may choose to vote for the day to end by typing: END THE DAY. Hammer rules apply.
- If the deadline is reached, the two people with the most votes will be lynched.
Day 1
Elect a Leader! :
- You will vote for a Leader instead of normally lynching a person.
- That Leader will then select whoever will be lynched for the day.
- The Leader may select the person by typing: EXECUTE: PERSON
- Hammer rules apply to the voting of the Leader.
- The day ends when a Leader has been selected and someone has been killed.
- The deadline is in one week, but you may choose to vote for the day to end by typing: END THE DAY. Hammer rules apply.

i like the END THE DAY thing but 2 weeks is still too long for a deadline, i hope you'll reduce it when there are 9- players in game..
also the 24 hours night is good

btw, is the universal backup made aware of his role or does he receive an usual vt role pm?

I recommend 1 week day deadlines. 2 weeks is too damn long oAo either way is fine for me tho
rEdo
I concur. Two weeks of a deadline is way too much, people will just stop giving any damns unless the day's about to end (see: Western VGC UPick)
Raging Bull
just reread the whole thread rEdo, someone is bound to end the day. haha.
rEdo
Shhh, we'll talk about that later :(

5 day deadlines would be enough, it'd help with the inactivity on this forums.

Actually that is just a sample lynch mechanic among ten ones in the pot. Also, sure I can do one week deadlines.
Edit: The Universal Backup knows he's the Universal Backup.

"A murder in the convention center!?" "What's happening?" "Call the police!"

In front of the crowd, the main organizer of the International Inventor's Conference was shot just before he was about to finish his opening remarks. The assailant was unknown. No one even knew whether or not there were multiple people involved.

"Get us out of here!" "Someone help!"

The remaining inventors started scrambling for the exit, only to be thwarted by what seemed to be a force field.

"That field was the invention of the main organizer, by the way." one of the masterminds of the plot spoke to the others by an unknown means of communication.

"No information in and out, eh?" the second of the plotters remarked.

"Good, now let's clean up the rest." the third one nodded to show approval.

ROLE PM'S HAVE BEEN SENT. PLEASE CONFIRM BY PM-ING THE MOD A WHOLE NUMBER FROM 1-10.

As the inventors slowly grew desperate, one of them raised his voice.

"Why don't we try using the Lynch-Bot v2.3?" he told the crowd.

The Lynch-Bot v2.3, now with an integrated interface - people input whatever the automaton wanted them to then acted accordingly to it. Usually it would be by voting, and it would result in one person being killed.

"Wait, why did we allow such a machine, guns and all, to actually enter the convention?" one of the inventors asked.

"Well, we couldn't exactly deny the machine of entry. It is an international convention and all..." an organizer replied.

People were gazing at each other. Their stares were asking if they couldn't trust such a machine.

One person stood up and gave his opinion, "We're not going to rely on such a mac- WAIT WHAT ARE YOU DOING? DON'T TURN IT ON!!!"

The machine was turned on. It was too late. Apparently the machine didn't have an off switch either, an oversight by its inventor.

"DETECTING TWELVE PEOPLE. LAUNCHING PROGRAM UNUSUAL MECHANICS. MODULE 1 SELECTED"

Elect a Leader! :
- You will vote for a Leader instead of normally lynching a person.
- That Leader will then select whoever will be lynched for the day.
- The Leader may select the person by typing: EXECUTE: PERSON. You may choose to execute no one.
- Hammer rules apply to the voting of the Leader.
- The day ends when a Leader has been selected, and the Leader has posted his execution choice.
- The deadline is in one week, but you may choose to vote for the day to end by typing: END THE DAY. Hammer rules apply.
- In the above case, the day ends with a no lynch.

IT IS NOW DAY 1. DEADLINE IS IN ONE WEEK.

@Mod: How is the deadline affected when the leader is elected?
Nyquill
Well there are several ways we can go about doing this.

Vote: Nyquill
Jinxy
This is pretty much just Kingmaker. I'd say we do it democratically with pseudo-votes on who we think should be lynched.

PVote:
Nyquill for going for the leadership without any election promises
Nyquill
Its hard to choose between curing cancer and ending world hunger
Raging Bull
Its hard to choose between lynching town and lynching scum.



Oh wait

Hi, if we massclaim today and everyone cooperates (from Town) we'll have 4 confirmed Townies (3 PRs + 1 Backup) vs 8 unconfirmed Vanilla Townies. 3 scum will surely be in the VTs so the chances of a scumlynch will be 3/8.

FAQ: 1. YES, I know we give ourselves for scum, but it will be easier for us to scumhunt out of 8 instead of out of 12.
2. YES, I know that if someone from Town fakeclaims then we're fucked. That's why we need everyone agreed on what we do here.

We don't claim roles. We only claim whether we are PRs or non-PRs (VTs). A number is enough to establish whether someone is Town or not. Claim can be done similarly to NH's claim in Stack the Deck (Two Style).
