 Invitation to the Second Great Sommelier Meeting Has it really only been one and a half years since Chateau de Grande Cap hosted the first Sommelier Meeting, an event that would go down in history for its unrivaled legacy of inebriation, chaos and blood? It feels like it has been longer. Now that the scars have finally faded and all stomachs pumped, the demand for a repeat of this grand occasion arises! But of course, those are some huge footsteps for any future hosts to step in. Chateau de Grande Cap had everything needed to make this a meeting to remember. "The world needs another Sommelier meeting.", former host Grandicap told our newspaper. "The time is right, and I believe that our new hosts will be able to shoulder this burden." Hosts indeed, for it was quickly obvious that no single wine producer could possibly keep up with the standards set by Chateau de Grande Cap. As such, we are glad to announce that Maison Incroyable has joined forces with Tsietisin Cooperative Booze to bring you this, the Second Great Sommelier Meeting! "Our combined love for inventing lots of crazy crap to inflict in people will be sure to make this an occasion to remember.", spokesperson Tsietisin said. "From the creative minds that brought you Warehouse 13 and Fakeclaim mafia, comes a new adventure 17 minutes in the making. This September, prepare to get your world rocked as anything could happen." Addendum: Boozehound Wanted! Looking over the preparations, Maison Incroyable and Tsietisin Cooperative Booze were confident that they had procured enough alcohol to fill up a stampede of elephants, which was clearly needed. But something was missing... "What you need, good friends, is less quantity (you have that covered) and more quality.", an aristocratic voice could be heard from outside the spacious wine cellar. Lo and behold, weaving carefully around the barrels was none other than salad s. cooper, esquire! A favorite guest from the previous Sommelier Meeting and known for his refined palate capable of discerning even the slightest hint of diabetic dog piss in a bottle of the finest vintage, he had arrived to make this even a rousing success! I'm sure you have questions. What is this? It's a mafia game for an unspecified amount of players. Signups will be until September 25th. What was the First Sommelier Meeting? In February of 2023, Grandicap hosted the First Sommelier Meeting, which was absolutely bananas and can be found here: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=4023765 What do all these letters mean? In the words of Grandi, "The concept is an unholy amalgamation of a CYOR/CYOF(Choose your own Role/Flavor) and a WIFOA (Wine in Front of All), the Voodoofly special." CYOR stands for Choose Your Own Role, and means that you, the players, get to submit any kind of prompt and Tsi and I will make a role out of it. Details will be in the second post. Unlike most CYOR games however, this will not be your own role. WIFOA stands for Wine In Front Of All and means a concept where through a complicated system of numbers, the players are shuffled into an orderly queue and can then grab the available roles. The list is public, the picks are not. This seems pretty complicated. The second post will have a detailed list of what you need to do. I'm new, can I still play? Please do! It's chaotic, but nothing too complicated, and both your mods and your fellow players will help you out! Is this balanced? Lol Didn't you die last game? The Amazing Intern performed a complex ressurrection ritual to bring me back. Now for the important part that nobody ever reads: the rules. Rule 0, the important one that overrules all other rules: First and foremost, we are here to have fun and enjoy ourselves. Please make sure that at all times you put your own sanity and mental well-being first. If at any point you feel like you're having a bad time, like someone's taking things too far or just need someone to talk to, please contact your mods or one of our many community volunteers. The following users have been suggested as points of contact if you do not feel you can reach out to me: The Traditional Games forum moderators, Leperflesh and Antivehicular; and Mafia regulars VoodooFly, Hal Insandenza, Bifauxnen, Monathin, Wologar, Maerlyn, Cloacamazing!, EccoRaven, CCKeane, Opopanax, Sandwolf and Shellception. Additionally, if at any point during the game you personally feel that things are getting out of hand, head to your confessional and ping your mods. If we agree with your assessment, the thread will be forced closed for about an hour to give all involved players time to cool off. The deadline will be adjusted to make sure no game time is lost. This request will be completely anonymous, to the point where I will delete your discord message asking for it if you want that. Please don't abuse this system, but use it if you feel it's necessary. 1) Don't be a dick. 2) No unsanctioned out of thread communication about the game. 3) No copy-pasting any out of thread info into the thread, especially not your role PM. Paraphrasing is generally fine, when in doubt ask your mods. 4) Do not post after the hammer. 5) Do not fake day actions. 6) Do no post when dead. 7) Don't edit your posts. 8) Lurker rules: Please make at least 10 posts with reasonable amounts of content per day (i.e. don't just post numbers, say something). This minimum is reduced to 5 posts if the day ends more than 12 hours before deadline and removed entirely if the day ends more than 24 hours before deadline. Failure to reach the minimum postcount will get you a warning first, second time will get you modkilled. If you have problems reaching that number due to real life issues, let us know preferably in advance. We'll work something out. 9) Seriously, don't be a dick. This game contains no elements that are purposefully designed as mod bastardry. There are no hidden components to any role that are not made clear in the role PM. Night action results will be given as "You successfully [action]ed your target.", followed by any further information. Failed actions will be given as "You failed to [action] your target." There will usually be some flavor text in italics delivered with the night results. While flavor text won't outright lie to you, it also isn't part of your result text. Rely on it at your own peril. You will need Discord to play this. Please join the server here: https://discord.gg/PVfGbKqEa3

How Is CYOWIFOA Formed? Since this is a WIFOA style game, a few special rules apply to make sure the available roles (listed in the next post) are distributed fair and square. Step 1: Submit Your Role Once you have been assigned to your Discord channel, submit a prompt for a role. This can be absolutely anything. Yes, that too. Yes, that works as well. No, not that one, what the hell is wrong with you? It's up to you if you want to give any details (subject to change by the mods) or just submit a word, phrase, picture, whatever. Step 2: Draft Order Contest Each player must submit two numbers (integers only, send me nonsense and be last in the draft order) from 1-9 privately in their Discord channels. The objective 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 before moving to Stage 3. See the Mock Draft (posted somewhere below) for an example. Step 3: Pick Three Roles After the final Draft Order has been publically announced, players will learn their alignment. Scum players will be informed who their scumbuddies are and be added to scumchat. Each player must now privately select their first, second and third pick of roles in their Discord channels. Step 4: Primary Role Draft After all selections are in, the primary roles will be assigned going DOWN the Draft Order. If nobody above you has selected your first pick, you get this role. If not, you have a chance at getting your second pick. Step 5: Secondary Role Draft For anybody who didn't get their first pick, secondary roles will be assigned going UP the Draft Order. Step 6: Tertiary Role Draft Great idea from PMuzz, we're doing this too! For anybody who didn't get their first or second pick, tertiary roles will be assigned going DOWN the Draft Order Mock Draft Copied from Grandi's WIFOA game. A: 1,1 B: 1,4 C: 1,1 D: 3,7 E: 5,9 F: 5,2 G: 7,1 H: 2,4 I: 2,7 J: 9,8 K: 6,9 L: 6,7 M: 5,6 Final Draft Order: 1. D (3,7) (one person picked the first number) 2. G (7,1) 3. J (9,8) 4. H (2,4) (two people picked the first number) 5. I (2,7) 6. L (6,7) 7. K (6,9) 8. B (1,4) (three people picked the first number) 9. C (1,1) (two people picked the same number, wins dice roll) 10. A (1,1) (two people picked the same number, loses dice roll) 11. F (5,2) 12. M (5,6) 13. E (5,9) Cloacamazing! fucked around with this message at 08:41 on Sep 11, 2024 |

Just making sure everybody sees this, there is a temporary and experimental rule in place for this game: Additionally, if at any point during the game you personally feel that things are getting out of hand, head to your confessional and ping your mods. If we agree with your assessment, the thread will be forced closed for about an hour to give all involved players time to cool off. The deadline will be adjusted to make sure no game time is lost.

God damnit it’s a Gibberish Letters game!!!! I told myself I wasn’t playing for a few weeks but here we are. Also that mock draft is literally the one from the first WIFOA game like 15 years ago give credit where credit is due (I’m sure I stole it from wherever it stole the entire numbers concept from, which was like an MTG cube draft or something to determine draft order)

As per the 1926 variant of the Official Mafia ruleset, anyone picking my role will be granted 3 points and a lateral shunt token. Neither of these have any use within the game.
