Hello I'll need a partner who looks very towny to combat Seal Paranoia please

Toadsmash posted:

In and looking for a partner, I guess. Odds are most of the people who pop up in here will still be people I don't know!

I'll go for THE GNOME HYDRA, partner depending.

An overlord shrouded in darkness proclaims the following in a booming voice:

"Welcome, one and all prospective Dungeon Arch-guards, to your new home, the Hydra Dungeon! As your benevolent but still presiding overlord, I've decided to do away with the traditional job application process in lieu of a.. bit of a fight for supremacy. Anybody who survives this process is obviously fit to serve for life, come any and all threats internal or external! The rumors that some of you are not using the fairest means to put themselves above the competition are overblown and I have employed several officials... oh, I see a few of their limbs over in the corner. Hmph. Nevertheless, IF those rumors were true and there were actually some who were specifically trying to have the job all to themselves rather than sharing it, it should be easy for qualified candidates to prove their intelligence and eliminate such dastardly cretins before being taken out themselves. BUT I suspect instead you'll tear each other apart and it'll be all the better for my pocketbook in the end. You'll get no sympathy from me either, you either survive and get the job or die!"

The outline of the overlord vanishes and the doors to the dungeon clang as they seal you inside...

Welcome to Hydra Dungeon Mafia! This will be a roles-light game as the major focus will be on HYDRA pairs of Mafia players. A Mafia hydra is a pair of players who are considered to be the same person for the purposes of voting, execution, night kills, any role related actions at night, and alignment. This will result in having a confirmed masonry right off the bat, but also may result in townreading one player while scumreading their partner and having your head explode. You will not have to guess hydra composition, all hydra pairs will be publicly mod-confirmed from the start (alignment and role, on the other hand, are up to you to figure out). Voting will be handled by having only one of every two player pair still alive in the game present in Votefinder; the active players per each pair for a given day will be made public on day open, while the inactive players per each pair will be listed as a spectator temporarily as for day voting/execution purposes they will be considered a stump. Night actions will be handled communally between you and your hydra partner. As for the setup, it will be one of the 9 NewD3 options shown in the link chosen at random, with the 2 scum and 7 town roles doled out betwixt the 9 pairs of players also at random. On top of that, any resolution questions you may have can also be answered by reading the information at the link (I am following resolution order from there rather than doing whatever makes sense to me this time). And as for how you sign up if you are on board with the whole shebang, you'll need to make TWO very important choices as seen below!

1. CHOOSE YOUR PARTNER. This doesn't have to be done right away of course, but if you don't pick anybody you'll receive your partner randomly. This is also arguably the most important choice you can make before the game starts, as you'll be stuck with them until the game is over or you die, so choose wisely! I will keep track of people who don't have partners in the signup section so that with luck everybody gets to pick a buddy.

2. CHOOSE YOUR FLAVOR. This may be a challenge in combo with the above, but as half the team who came up with these (Shellception comprising the other half marvelously) I assure you you can't really go wrong with any of them.

ARE YOU:



THE CONNIVING TRIO OF HERTZ, FELDSPAR, AND BURK?

Neither Hertz nor Feldspar really know how the hell they ended up with Burk. Maybe it was some crazy curse by some witch or wizard mad at them for some reason. Maybe it was some magical potion they accidentally consumed. What they do know is that Burk is pretty self-explanatory (burk. burk burk), disconcerting (burk? BURK! buUuUrk!) and oddly, sometimes quite comforting (buuuuuuuurk). Maybe if they land this gig they can figure out how to separate from Burk or at least make him a better conversationalist.



THE OGRE HYDRA? _{not to be confused with the other ogre hydra}

This unusually sized hydra is usually found on mountaintops or resting in giant tracts of grassland, or other large outdoor areas. It's not even a little happy to be in a cramped dungeon instead, but it could easily squish anyone trying to beat it in a fair fight. Shame those aren't on the table!



THE FIGHTER HYDRA?

With a great deal of luck and a fellow captive's sacrifice, Marle and Skrab have managed to not only successfully escape another overlord's underground fighting ring into this dungeon, but also got themselves a proper offer for this gig that ensures they can't just be forcibly returned into the other guy's possession. They're not really sure if this is better under the circumstances, but at least it'll pay better if they live!



THE TWO-HEADED OGRE HYDRA COSPLAYER?

Kusskis and Brachlan were on their way to some other dungeon for a seriously huge magical Halloween party hoping to score big in the costume contest, but got kinda lost and ended up here by mistake. They're not going down without a fight if they can help it, but even with their enchantments it may not be up to them..



THE WIZARD HYDRA?

...



THE HYDRA TRICK OR TREATERS?

...



THE CYBORG HYDRA?

...



THE GNOMISH HYDRA?

...



THE GNOME HYDRA? _{not to be confused with the gnomish hydra}

...

Now for your regularly scheduled general 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 you 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.

1. General mafia rules apply. If you are playing, do NOT discuss the game outside the thread or authorized OOT channels!

2. Please don't lurk. The lurker threshold will be 10 posts per game day, with the requisite being halved for hammers that happen at 12h to deadline or earlier, and eliminated if 24h to deadline or earlier. Communication is key - if something important is keeping you from posting and I can accommodate it, tell us! First time is a warning, second one is a modkill.

3. Do not edit your posts. If there is a big reason you need to do so, tell us first.

4. Do not directly quote private communications. Copying and pasting any kind of OOT comms into thread is not allowed. Neither is copying and pasting any kind of mod communication, including your PM, either in thread or in any possible OOT communication channels. This rule will be enforced, and infringing it will result in a modkill.

5. Do not fake day actions. If you have been affected by a day action, please wait for it to resolve before posting.

6. Don't be an rear end to people. You don't have to be all nice and friendly all the time, but if things get too heated, please disconnect, calm down and come back later. Again, mod team is here to ensure everyone has fun, but I'd particularly not like needing to tell posters to chill. Be mindful of the person at the other side of the screen!

7. There are no bastard mod mechanics here, not even ones I've joked about, not even ones I might in the dead of night wake up to in hysterics over. No cults, no alignment changes, no jesters, etc.

8. Days will be 36-48 hours long, depending on the usual of week/weekend landings and my schedule. Hammers are by majority as usual.

9. Everything game-wise will be managed or accessed through Discord; please join here so that you can get settled in and set up.

Result language notes (shamelessly repeated from prior games):

1. A result that successfully targets will yield the result. "You successfully x your target"
2. A result that does not successfully target will yield the result. "Your action fails."
3. If a player name is ever mentioned as part of a result other than those that require it, this is a mod error.
4. A "successful" target is defined as an ability resolving on someone. This does not have to be the intended target, so a redirected result will yield the same language as a result that has not been redirected.
5. You will be informed if there are any special conditions that may cause your action to fail that you could not reasonably guess in advance in your role PM. As such, please read your role PM thoroughly and ask questions liberally in your confessional; I refuse to be held responsible for any misplays you make because you didn't make sure you understood how your role works! If you are not sure what might be considered reasonably guessable in advance, I highly recommend reading this link and asking any other questions you may have as needed.
