(Feel free to send a list of players for this in advance, I will do my best to accomodate.)
- The setup for this game is Pick Your Power X/Y: Hint of Something_Smart, with two modifications. First, there are 13 players instead of 14 (with one fewer town, so there are 10 town and 3 mafia). Second, the draft will be different, explained below.
- Initially, you will receive a PM that includes only alignment information. There will be two drafting phases, each of which should last at most 24 hours, and then roles will be sent out.
- During the first drafting phase, you must choose any positive integer, and you will be put into an order based on those numbers. The draft order will be determined by the following (IMPORTANT NOTE: this is different from normal PYP X/Y drafting rules
):
- First, priority is given to players whose number was picked fewer times. So if you pick a unique number, you will always go earlier.
- Second, priority is given to players whose number is closer to the median of the 13 numbers I receive,
instead of in the original setup where priority is given to players who picked the smaller number.- Third, priority is given to players who pick a number below the median, rather than above, if they are equidistant from it.
- Finally, priority is given randomly between players who picked the same number.
- Additionally, during the first drafting phase, the mafia may pick collectively to either all gain the ability to multitask (perform actions together with the factional kill on the same night), or gain a collective Informed modifier that will tell them about one pair of roles that were not selected in the draft, or tell them that no such pair exists if none does.
- After the first drafting phase is over, I will publish everyone's choice of numbers, as well as what the mafia's choice of modifier was, and the second drafting phase will begin. This drafting phase will work the same as in normal PYP X/Y. In the second drafting phase, each player must choose one role from any pair in the list below. In draft order, I will then assign each player either the role they chose, or vanilla if one of the roles in their pair has already been chosen by someone higher on the list. Only one role from each pair can be assigned.
Roles:
Night 3 Vigilante OR Vengeful 1-Shot Vigilante OR 2-Shot PGO (activated) Ascetic Cop OR Bulletproof Draft Cop OR 1-Shot Watcher Doctor OR Roleblocker Universal Backup OR Rolecop Neighborizer OR Voyeur Jailkeeper OR Tracker
A and B both pick 3, C picks 8, D picks 1, E picks 5.
The median of the list [1, 3, 3, 5, 8] is 3. 1 and 5 are the closest uniquely-chosen numbers to the median, and 1 is below rather than above, so 1 goes first, followed by 5. 8 is next, and the two 3s are randomly tiebroken and B wins. Thus, the picking order would be D, E, C, B, A.
Visually as a list:
Median: 3
1. D(1)
2. E(5)
3. C(8)
4. B(3)
5. A(3)

Additionally, you must collectively choose a modifier for the mafia to gain: either multitasking (all mafia will be able to perform the factional kill in addition to other actions on the same night), or informed (mafia will learn a pair of roles that no one chose, or will learn that every pair of roles was chosen by someone).
