Welcome to CYOWIFOA: Sommelier Edition, a game of mafia for as many people as show up.

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. It will be a pseudo open setup once setup is complete, but the mystery wines and the roles that are listed will have a blurb rather than their full rules text. If you win the role, you will get the full rule text/

See the out of the ordinary steps in the next post, and the roles that have been submitted in the 3rd post, plus a few extras.

Rules
I: Don't be a dick.
II: Posting after the hammer is fine, but not if you the dead person
III: If there is a day action posted, everyone can keep posting, I will adjudicate as soon as possible.
IV: Don't fake day actions.
V: But really, don't be a dick.
VI: No posting of mod comms or sanctioned out of thread communications.
VIb: Don't have unsanctioned out of thread communications.
VII: This is rule 7, I felt there should be 7 of them, so here it is.

Players
  1. AnonymousNarcotics (they/them)
  2. CapitalistPig (He/Him)
  3. Chic Trombone (He/Him)
  4. Cloacamazing! (she/her)

Shamelessly Stolen and Modified from Voodoofly

Choose your Own Wine in Front of All is exactly like a normal game, except there is a special pre-game stage that allows people to create, then pick roles. It works as such:

Stage -1: CYOR
Choose a role, a concept, a loose idea, whatever you want really, and I will make a role out of it and throw it in the role bucket. Once all roles have been artfully crafted and not winged at all, we will move into standard WIFOA territory.

Stage 0: Meet Ms. RNG. I will randomly assign each player’s alignment. This will be done by RNG (twice, actually), so while I encourage WIFOM in this game, initial player order will probably not be the place to look. Players will not learn their alignment until Stage 2 (the Role Draft) begins.

Stage 1: Draft Order Contest. Each player must send me a number (integers only, sc4rs) from 1-10. Each player must also send me a second tie break number from 1-10 – the tie break will work exactly like the original contest (Example of number choice: Vodoofly picks 9, 9). The object 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 2. See the Mock Draft (posted at the bottom of this post) for an example.

Stage 2: Pick Two Roles. First, players will learn their alignment (scum will NOT learn who their scum buddies are). Second, each person must select TWO ROLES, from the pool of roles (provided below): one will be a PRIMARY role, the other a SECONDARY role (Example of role choice: Voodoofly: Primary Toxic Vig, Secondary Party Host). These selections must be sent to me via PM or Discord. Role selections will NOT be published until after the game has finished.

Stage 3: Primary Role Draft. After all role selections are in, I will then go down the Draft Order – if nobody above you has selected the PRIMARY role you picked, you get the role, but if someone has already taken that role, you still have a chance in the Secondary Role Draft. If you select vanilla, you will automatically be vanilla. The results of this draft will NOT be published until after the game has finished.

Stage 4: Secondary Role Draft. Now, we will go reverse, snake style, back up the Draft Order – if you did not get your PRIMARY role, and your SECONDARY is still available, you get the role, but if someone has already taken that role, you are vanilla. If you select vanilla, you will automatically be vanilla. The results of this draft will NOT be published until after the game has finished.

Stage 5: Let’s go! People will be sent their role (including any additional role information that was intentionally or unintentionally not included in the OP) and full/rest of their alignment (scum will learn their scumbuddies at this time, etc). After that Day 1 will begin. There will be no Night 0.



MOCK DRAFT

Mock Draft Contest to make it simpler (second number is tiebreaker).

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 number)
2. G (7,1)
3. J (9,8)
4. H (2,4) (two people picked the number)
5. I (2,7)
6. L (6,7)
7. K (6,9)
8. B (1,4) (three people pick the number)
9. C (1,1 wins dice roll)
10. A (1,1 loses dice roll)
11. F (5,2)
12. M (5,6)
13. E (5,9)

Simple, right?

Wine ListRoles - All roles except for the house blends have a short flavor description, as well as tags somewhat helping you decipher what they are, but like tasting notes don't give the full picture. Don't ask for clarification, you won't get it.
  1. Three Monkeys - Three odd statues sit here, I wonder what they do. Whatever it is probably comes with a price. (Investigative, Drawback)
  2. When a bottle of wine has been left open in the fridge too long and it starts to go to vinegar but isn't quite there yet where it's an unholy and terrible mix - A foul smelling concoction sure to give someone a headache. (Defensive, Passive)
  3. EU regulation No 1677/88 laying down quality standards for cucumbers - A shining example of European Bureaucracy. (Offensive,Defensive)
  4. An Unbreakable Chain, Kin of the Ourobos - Is it eating itself? How? It's made of metal!(Defensive, Exponential)
  5. Domino's Delivery App - Apps Only! - 30 minutes or less or it's free! (Items, Drawback, Offensive, Defensive)
  6. Armored Limousine - The gas mileage must be awful, but it could probably stop a tank shell. (Defensive, Chaotic)
  7. One, Won - Numberwang! (Chaotic)
  8. A tight-fitting chartreuse shirt. - You aren't sure why, but you are sure you hear the sounds of a recorder floating on the wind when you look at this shirt. (It's also hideous) (Investigative, Offensive, Defensive, Chaotic)
  9. Premium currency in a lovely idle phone game - Targeted Ads that are only tangentially related to the game (Item, Boon, Drawback)
  10. A Giant Mecha - This colossal robot looks like it could be piloted by a group of plucky teenager. (Gadget, Defensive, Stacking)
  11. The feeling you get when you are 8 years old in 1986 on Christmas and you rip open your present and it's a Nintendo Entertainment System - An excited squeal seems to leak from this role. (Defensive)
  12. Bugcaller - You command a legion of larvae who will do your bidding. (Item, Chaotic, Offensive, Defensive)
  13. Bus Driver Shortages - No one will take these jobs, you might just have to take matters into your own hands. (Chaotic)
  14. Spicemaster - BAM! (Investigative)
  15. Day 1 Sucks - An insurance policy against the trials and tribulations of Day 1. (Investigative, Gadget)
  16. Focused Seer - A psychic with a very narrow window of extra sensory perception. (Investigative, Drawback)
  17. Original version of 'Red Right Hand' by Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds. - Let's make a deal. (Chaotic, Drawback)
  18. Journalist - Write articles that may or may not shift the narrative. (Chaotic, Time Commitment)
  19. Pistols At Dawn - Demand Satisfaction! (Offensive, Drawback)
  20. Gyromitra Esculenta - Deadly poisonous, but delicious when prepared properly. (Charging, Offensive, Defensive)
  21. Red House Blend: Mystery Role 1
  22. White House Blend: Mystery Role 2
