I have read tutorial 1 and have a question. In the final scenario discussed, isn't the last night of killing superfluous? At 3 players left it is 1 scum, 1 town and 1 dead in all 3 universes, which means scum already control the vote and you can end the game right there without having to go through the motions of "oh everyone only has one kill option"

Never mind, tutorial 2 made it a bit clearer. The number of remaining players alive in any universe is who you count for the purposes of controlling vote share, not the remaining players in any individual universe.

In example 2, Carla would win where the scum win and Ellie where the town win, right?

Scum need to as well. The only way anyone wins is to collapse down to 1. My point is that there is that everyone will literally have the same probabilities on d1 so there won’t really be alignment driven hints to sus out. It’s just a popularity contest at that point.

I mean, it's possible to win with only a few universes left. But most universes will be done with once a win condition is reached.

I suppose so. It depends if you consider dead players winning when their faction wins in regular mafia.

You don't consider that to be the case? Is everyone a TOWN-Survivor or SCUM-Survivor? :v:

...I always thought in regular mafia, you only claimed the win if you were alive. If your faction won but you were dead, you still got to bask in the glow a little, though.

It's why for Danganronpa's Mastermind, I mentioned "wins even if dead in this case" in the description.


EDIT: Formally, I'm saying that this game works like regular mafia - you win with your faction, alive or dead. And sometimes you might be alive or dead at the same time!

An-y-ways: a new tutorial and info post have each been added!

The Supplementary Information post now includes full details of the masonry-picking algorithm (it's not random!)

Tutorial 3: The Entangler showcases the entangler, how masonries are made (and destroyed), and everything about the role's special brand of immortality (!).

Also sad that the OP accounts for targeting yourself with a kill to eliminate every universe where you are scum. We aren't allowed to :(

Tempting. I was a little hesitant about opening with N0 nightkills, but it might be suitable for future games of this.

The trick is that first it increases our odds of being scum in the universes we're alive because in all universes where one of us is scum but not the other, the town one dies. Universes where we are both scum will collapse, but there will be far more where this is not the case and one of us is scum. Then, if we both submit the same kills on each other N2, we will collapse any universe where our kill was successful on N1 because we tried to target a dead player. Therefore after N2 we will have limited all universes where we are alive to universes where we are both town

To be clear, you can submit a nightkill on a person who is dead in some universes without collapsing those universes. The target will just be killed in all the universes they are alive, and the nightkill will be a no-op in the universes where the target is already nightkilled once.

If you try to submit a nightkill on a person who is dead in every universe where you're scum, my tracker program will reject it and I'll tell you to pick someone else.

EDIT: I've added a clarification about this to the OP.

not as much of a problem as you'd think. it'd be perfectly reasonable to just make whatever plays at night take your fancy, or commit to foiling any plans anybody tried to make in thread, or make up your own achievements to try and earn like maybe highest % scum that still flips town or first to collapse all universes in which you're a detective.

We should collectively decide on a player to all shoot on N1, making universes where that player is alive highly likely for them to be scum. Then we execute that player on the following day, almost certain to flip scum, and all the universes where we shot him dead collapse and everybody remaining is more likely to be town. Rinse and repeat.
