Ruyi Zhuan Mafia DP1

Other roles can also increase, deduct, or transfer favor. Multiples of these roles exist in the game. All players have favor except for the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. The scum team is distributed among the harem (Empress Dowager and other concubines). They lose and gain favor like any other player. Each NP, I will calculate all players’ favor, sort them from top to bottom, and decide which rank they receive. There are five ranks:

Concubine: Vanilla

Consort: One odd/even ability

Noble Consort: Both odd/even abilities

Imperial Noble Consort: Both odd/even abilities and a passive ability

Empress: All abilities and a double vote

One player will start as Empress. That player will remain as Empress, regardless of her favor, unless the Emperor deposes her or she dies. In either instance, at the end of the following DP the Emperor may appoint a new Empress from among the surviving concubines. Other players will rise or drop in rank, and therefore unlock new abilities or lose access to them, based on how much favor they have compared to other players - the Empress is not included in this ranking. The player which has the most favor and at least eight favor will occupy the rank of Imperial Noble Consort. The two players with the second and third highest favor and at least six favor will occupy the rank of Noble Consort. The four players which rank fourth to seventh and have at least three favor will be counted as Consorts. People who have less than three favor or fall lower than seventh in the overall ranking will occupy the rank of Concubine and be vanilla. Ties will be resolved through seniority (who had the higher ranking last NP).

This ranking will be run every NP and will determine each player's ranking during the next NP. You should have a list of roles in your role PM. The first two roles will be odd or even night only abilities, and the third will be a passive ability. Next to them, the rank at which you gain access to those abilities will be specified. You have already been sent a summary of your favor, your rank, and the abilities available to you NP1.

When it comes to theme, each player has been given a series of clips that gives some insight into your character. The TV Tropes and Wikipedia page for this series usually have decent basic information (it’s often anglicized as ‘Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace). Theme split is not simple. Most of these women have at least one screw loose and have done some evil shit – don’t take villainy as equivalent to being scum. Roles have justification. Scum have been given two fake claims to use if they see fit, so overall theme analysis will be of limited use.

Rules are as follows:

- Keep discussions in the official thread

- Be as bitchy as you want, I don't give a fuck

- Don't copy-paste PMs, including the pretty pictures which I gave you all

- Don't post when dead

- Don't edit or delete posts

- No thumbs-up shenanigans once you're dead

- You can talk about role PM formatting and whatnot as much as you want but I love to deliberately sabotage that so do it at your own risk

- No cryptography/cipher crap

- Just don't piss me off - I'm a pretty chill guy but don't try and break the game in some cute new way that goes against the spirit of the game.

With 11 harem members alive, it takes 6 votes to lynch

DPs are 72 hours long, NPs are 24 hours.

The DP will open on 2PM Sunday.

Thread open!

Thread open!

We about to have a literal ho down

Don't think I've ever been in a 12p before. Are there guaranteed more than 2 scum with this many?

Its highly likely there is 3 mafioso and maybe a TP.

Just like a good and righteous Emperor, I will be taking bribes for favor. Venmo 100 dollars will get you unlimited favor from me. I just payed for a vacation so any donations welcome

On a serious note. This will be interesting

Don't think I've ever been in a 12p before. Are there guaranteed more than 2 scum with this many?

Usually 3 scum in a 12p game. But per OP, technically Supa doesn’t have a vote, so it’s really 11p, which is more balanced usually with 2 scum + TP imo

I have an SOP claim. I will make it before the end of the DP. Just putting this here so nobody cries about how it should be my first post or some shit.

Why not just make it right now?

Could be two or three then

*scribbles note*

Hello. I am Town this time. Just checking in. Will be back in a few

Fuck it. I am a miller.

Again? Damn

Not to waste the Emperor's time with idle gossip, but a little birdie told me most of these concubines are secretly smuggling sausage

"Scum were given two fake claims" could mean there are two scum, actually. Or there are three scum and they had to Sophie's Choice who would get the claims.

I'm at a loss as to what soft claim format we could use, if we decided to soft. We're all female, all with variable ranks subject to change, and all harem... ites? Haremites? No that sounds like hare mites.

So, I assume there’s one scum team at least, with at least two players. Scum likely have the ability to kill at night regardless of how much favour they have.

I doubt Rex would force scum to “work their charms” on Vader so that he grants them night abilities. It’s likely that whatever night actions Vader can grant, scum have the ability to counter them (somehow).

In short, @Vader, depose your Empress! I name her a pretender!

VTL Shining

Do we vote for who Vader tells us to vote for? I think we rebel. I rebel.

#Rebel

I guess I should specify whatever I just said is balanced, but, it could also be balanced by virtue of being imbalanced.

We always could just not soft this game for a breathe of fresh air.

“Scum were given two fake claims"

The entire scum gets two fake claims between each another?

Or does each scum have two fake claims?

I would soft, but I don’t understand my flavour anyway and apparently most flavour includes Concubines who’ve done heinous shit.

If I understand correctly, everyone gets a set amount of favour at the start of the game. Say it goes from 0 to 10 (just for the sake of argument). Players get ranked, and the top X players have the highest rank, the next Y players have the second highest rank, etc.

I assume it’s proportional.

Vader can grant or (take away (?)) favour every day from each player, which influences the ranking.

Well... here’s a thought. I assume Empress is Town. I also assume scum know which abilities are in the game, so it’s not like they would have to make up some night actions that aren’t possible, so there’s no value to the Empress hiding these night actions.

I think Empress should instaclaim right now and tell us what abilities she has access to. Then, Vader decides on who to make the Empress. We can also determine who to give favour to, etc.

Honestly, maybe it’s a good idea to claim how much favour everyone has? Idk.
