Welcome to Wine in Front of All: Eternal Twilight

This will be an open setup game with roles picked by you, the players! Probably won’t be balanced, probably will be fun, and as the title suggests the thread will never close so you can practice your gift of gab day and night!

I’m your mod, Hal is your other mod. It’s been a LONG time since I’ve modded a game so I’m sure this will be perfect and smooth.

I’ll post other stuff here later, like a player list and votefinder thing.

:siren: Discord Server is Up :siren: You need to join the discord server to play.

Signups are open. Game will probably start on Monday the 22nd. Maybe earlier if it fills fast. It will NOT be the first to sign up will get a spot; if there are more than 13 people who want to play we will break out the RNG. Signups will close at some point once I feel everyone has had a fair chance to join. If there are really a lot of signups I'll increase the size of the game.

More to come, and more rules below, but I encourage everyone to start calling everyone scum now.

Have Fun!

Role Draft Order is Here

Wine in Front of All is exactly like a normal game, except there is a special pre-game stage that allows people to pick roles. It works as such:

Specific WIFOA Pre-Game Rules

Stage 0: I will randomly assign each player’s alignment. This will be done by RNG (twice, actually), so while I encourage WIFOM in this game, initial player order will probably not be the place to look. Players will not learn their alignment until Stage 2 (the Role Draft) begins.

Stage 1: Draft Order Contest. Each player must send me a number (integers only, sc4rs) from 1-10. Each player must also send me a second tie break number from 1-10 – the tie break will work exactly like the original contest (Example of number choice: Vodoofly picks 9, 9). The object is to pick the number closest to 1 that THE LEAST AMOUNT OF PEOPLE PICK. Order will be determined as: (1) closest to 1 that only 1 person picked, until all single picks are gone; (2) closest to 1 that only 2 people picked (using the tiebreaker), until all double picks are gone; (3) closest to 1 that only 3 people picked (using the tiebreaker), until all triple picks are gone; etc. If there is a tie in the tiebreaker number section, those players will be behind any single pick for the tie breakers, and I will roll dice for them. The final Draft Order will be published in this thread for all to see. See the Mock Draft (posted somewhere below) for an example.

Stage 2: Role Draft!!! First, players will learn their alignment (scum will NOT learn who their scum buddies are). Second, each person must select one, and only one, role from the pool of roles (provided below). These selections must be sent to me via PM or Discord. I will then go down the Draft Order – if nobody above you has selected the role you picked, you get the role, but if someone has already taken that role, you are vanilla. If you select vanilla, you will automatically be vanilla. The results of this draft will NOT be published until after the game has finished.

Stage 3: People will be sent their role and full/rest of their alignment (scum will learn their scumbuddies at this time), and then Day 1 will begin. There will be no Night 0.

General Rules:
  • General mafia rules apply: Don't be a jerk or try to break the rules. You all know what the rules are.
  • Eternal Twilight. When a player is hammered, that player shuts up. If, for some reason, a player looks like they might be killed, people can keep talking until a mod puts a flip up (including the possible dead player). Thread will never close because WIFOA is the party that never ends.
  • 13 Players. 3 Scum / 10 Town.
  • Plurality lynches. You can ##vote no lynch if you want.
  • Tiebreaker: Whoever would have been lynched before the tie will be lynched.
  • Pander Rule: Do NOT quote or share your role PM, or any part of it, with anyone, whether in the thread or not. If you are allowed to share your role PM, your role will explicitly specify as such. Scum are allowed to share their roles with scumbuddies.
  • Talking about the game: Don't do it. Whether living or dead. Whether the person is in the game or not. Just say no! If there is a dead chat in Discord then this rule will not apply to that chatroom and that chatroom only.
  • This is a non-confirmation style game. Basically, I will NEVER tell you about the success or failure of your night actions. Don't equate receiving results to being successful, since if there was a reason you would receive false results you won't know about it. Likewise, though, this isn't a mindfuck game.
  • Night actions will follow a priority list. You can assume that list generally follows this pattern: Blocky / Watchy / Protecty / Shooty / Searchy.
  • The scum kill is an action. A scum player must perform it. If they perform a kill they are not able to do any other action, unless they have another role that would expressly allow them to perform multiple actions.
  • Other things: Just pay attention.

Possible Role List (descriptions might be vague on purpose, and the role might perform more or less than it seems, but will not contradict anything written here):
  • Roleblocker: target is unable to perform an action.
  • Empowerer: if target was unable to perform an action, will remove one obstacle to performance.
  • Faulty Vigilante A: vig that can shoot at day [##kill xxx] or at night (you send in the shot as a night action, you DO NOT SHOOT IN THREAD DURING TWILIGHT). Only has one shot. Does not kill anonymously (i.e. it will be announced in thread at start of next day who fired a shot, even if the shot doesn’t kill someone, if it’s a night action). Only one of faulty vig A or B will have a real shot, the other's shot will be harmless (determined at start of game). Neither vig will know if they have the real or harmless shot. Neither vig will be told whether their shot was effective or not. Role is not affected if the other faulty vig is picked, or is not picked, for the game.
  • Faulty Vigilante B: ditto to Faulty Vig A.
  • Toxic Vigilante: One shot dayvig. Must also call the alignment of target with shot in the thread [##kill xxx, xxx is [town/mafia]. If vig is wrong about the alignment, the vig will die along with the target. If something prevents the vig's shot, it is wasted, but the vig will remain alive.
  • Party Host: When you die (execution, mafia kill, vig, anything), a list of everyone who has successfully targeted you will be posted with your cardflip. This list will include both day and night targets. The players will be listed alphabetically, and it will not reveal when they targeted you, or if they targeted you more than once. This role is not an action - a roleblock will not affect your list power other than that person would be added to your list for successfully targeting you. This is a one-time ability, and nothing can cause this to happen more than once in the game.
  • Backup Extraordinaire: At the start of the game, the backup extraordinaire submits a list of the role/roles that player wishes to backup (from this list right here). After that, the first role to flip on the backup's list will be given to the backup at that time. If the role was a 1x ability and has already been used, the backup gets the role in the already used condition. When the backup dies that player's cardflip will not indicate whether the backup ability had triggered or what role it took over. The backup will not know of any results from the original player's use. This role is not an action - a roleblock will not affect your power. This is a one-time ability, and nothing can cause this to happen more than once in the game.
  • Mason A: an unconfirmed mason. If someone picks Mason B, then Mason A will be allowed to talk to Mason B outside of the thread. This is a (almost certainly) useless role.
  • Mason B: an unconfirmed mason. If someone picks Mason A, then Mason B will be allowed to talk to Mason A outside of the thread. This is a (almost certainly) useless role.
  • Mystery Role A: This player will flip as Mystery Role A upon death. It is up to the player to convince you what this role does.
  • Mystery Role B: This player will flip as Mystery Role B upon death. It is up to the player to convince you what this role does.
  • Mystery Role C: This player will flip as Mystery Role C upon death. It is up to the player to convince you what this role does.

Vanilla Role PM:

quote:

Alignment: Town

Role: Vanilla

Role Description:
You are vanilla. You have no special powers except your vote. You are cooler than everyone else. There may or may not be other roles that can affect your abilities, whether for better or for worse.

Also if I've played in a game you ran or helped run in the last year then you have an automatic spot.

CLARIFICATION: if it wasn’t clear, when I post the draft order it will show everyone the numbers you picked.

Is it scummy to say you will choose 1,1 (the sc4rs gambit) but secretly submit something else? That’s for you to decide. But yes it is.

DRAFT ORDER FOR ROLE DRAFT IS BELOW!!!

  1. ObamaAkbar 4.1
  2. B-minus 5,6
  3. merk 1,1 (RNG was 2-1)
  4. Keane 1,1 (RNG was 2-1)
  5. Science 10,2
  6. Mr. Steak 10,10
  7. Sandwolf 3,2
  8. SiV 3,5
  9. Spoonsy 3,8
  10. CPig 2,8

  12. Toalp 2,3 (RNG was 2-3-1)
  13. Grandi 2,3 (RNG was 2-3-1)

As you can see, I had to resort to the RNG twice, where I just generated a sequence and went off your alphabetical player list in OP.

2,3 for the loss!
