It's a good night here at the fabulous Edinburgh Castle, where DocCon 2016 is underway.
You're all willing to show the guests just how great and cool and intelligent and hip you are.
"What's your specialty?"
"Oh. I'm just a mere rocket scientist."
What the fuck!?
No, we can't let these bloody rocket scientists steal our social stature. WE are the greatest of men and women.
NOT THEM!
This game will be played with the
Medical Mafia set-up. The key details are these:
- 24 Hour Phases
- Day start
- Plurality Lynch (the person with the most votes at the end of every day phase is out) -- town may not no lynch.
- 2 Goons
- 6 Doctors
- 1 Nurse
These are the role PMs:
Mafia Goon
Welcome, [Player Name]. You are a Rocket Scientist AKA Mafia Goon along with your partner, [Player Name].
Abilities:
Factional communication: During the night phase you may talk with your partner here [Chat link]. You will also be allowed to chat for 12 hours before the game starts. The thread is locked outside of these times.
Factional kill: Each night phase, one of you or your partner may perform the factional kill.
Win condition:
You win when you control 50% of the town.
Town Doctor
Welcome, [Player Name], you are a Town Doctor.
Abilities:
Each night phase, you may use a "protection" action on a player in the game. You're not exactly sure what you will do, though.
You may not self-protect, but you can protect the same person consecutively.
Win condition:
You win when all threats to the town have been eliminated and there is at least one town player alive.
Town Nurse
Welcome, [Player Name], you are a Town Nurse.
Abilities:
Backup: The first time a doctor dies, you will inherit their protection ability. If multiple doctors die in one night, and a doctor has not already died, one of those who died will be chosen randomly.
Protection: Each night phase, after one doctor has died, you may choose a player to protect... but you're not exactly sure what you will do.
Win condition:
You win when all threats to the town have been eliminated and there is at least one town player alive.
Here are the Doctor + Nurse roles in the game:
Weak Doctor dies if it targets a Mafia Goon (and isn't protected themself)
CPR Doctor saves their target from a nightkill, but if the player isn't actually targeted for a nightkill, the CPR Doctor kills them instead.
Paranoid Doctor is the functional equivalent of a Jailkeeper
Quack Doctor kills their target instead of protecting them, the functional equivalent of a Vigilante
Naive Doctor does nothing at all
Ordinary Doctor is exactly as you expect
Nurse gains the ability of the first dead Doctor. If there are multiple dead Doctors, an ability will be chosen at random.
Most Doctors who protect only stop a single kill ability.
[BASTARD] Doctors are not told which power they have received – they receive a standard doctor Role PM. They will also flip as "Doctor". [/BASTARD]
Game specific rules:
- It is considered good etiquette to stick with a game if you can. If you should require a replacement, PM a mod (DO NOT post in the thread about replacing), it will be assumed that something unplanned came up for you.
- Please watch the time, don't post after a day phase ends -- :59 okay, :00 not okay -- 1 warning then modkill.
- Play to win. Don't self vote.
- Always PM a mod questions -- don’t ask them in the game thread.
- Never reference any PM or mod question/answer in the game thread.
- Never discuss mod decisions in the game thread -- wait till post game!
