Welcome to Battlebots Mafia! This will be themed around Battlebots, a popular reality TV show which will get us in trouble with our future AI overlords. Have fun! 

Suggested resources: 
R/battlebots subreddit 
Battlebots fights on Youtube 
Battlebots fandom wiki 

Mechanics Information: 

-The first DP will be 48 hours long. Subsequent DPs will be 72 hours long. I will grant extensions as I see fit. 
-All NP’s will be 24 hours long. There will be no extensions unless you inform me in advance that you will be gone. 
-Majority voting will be in effect (defined as being more than 50% of living players.) If there is no majority reached by the deadline AND there are enough non-voting players to potentially reach a majority, I will use plurality voting to resolve. Ties will be broken by the first player to be voted. 
-There are two mafia factions, each of which are attempting to be the last ones standing. They can and will kill each other. 
-One faction gets to kill on the odd nights, and the other on the even nights. If one faction is entirely eliminated, the other faction will receive their factional kill for subsequent nights. 
-Faction 1, Faction 2, and the town have a single x1 factional bulletproof. (This is the balance change I made for 10 players instead of 11 or 12). Any protective roles will take priority over the factional bulletproof being used. For example, if Faction 1 targets town on NP1, town will lose its factional bulletproof, and be vulnerable to Faction 2.
-Alignment flips will be posted after hammer, role flips will be posted the next DP. Role flips will not specify which mafia faction the player was a part of. 
-This is role madness.  
-Scum has been given fakeclaims.
-I have semi-randomized the wording of the PM's.

Endgame conditions: 

-The game will end when one of the following conditions are met: 
-One faction has reached parity or greater with the town, and the other faction is eliminated 
-All factions have been eliminated and there is at least one townie left 

Rules: 
  1. Don’t CP from PM’s or pretend to do so. 
  2. Cease posting when you are dead. 
  3. Do not contact other players outside of the thread or approved chats. 
  4. Respect the site rules, and other players. 
  5. Don’t do anything else that gives you an unfair advantage, even if it’s not explicitly stated in the rules. It won’t make you clever, but it will get you modkilled. 
 
Living Players: 
 
1. whiteflame 
 
2. 7000series 
 
3. Best.Korea 
 
4. Greyparrot 
 
5. Wylted 
 
6.  RationalMadman 
 
7. Joebob 
 
8. ijb1 
 
9. Lunatic 
 
10. Vader 
 
This DP will end 48 hours from this post.

Also, if you see any inconsistencies in your role PM, or think I have made a mistake, LET ME KNOW ASAP. This is my first time and there's a possibility I may have messed up.

I shouldn't even be here rn, please understand I need afk time, just checked in and don't wanna be scumread for not posting.

I don't even know the optimal way to play this this is genuinely a scenario I have minimal experience with even theoretically.

I will be a follower this DP1 unlike my usual style because there are many reasons to go with the flow here rather than draw attention to myself. Everyone should be in a survivalist mindset. If anyone says I am scummy for operating this way, I will Townread but dumbread them.

Your towntell is to actually vote when your Spidey sense goes off and to wait for others to post first. Your way of doing this isn't your townplay and tiny inconsistencies like that are huge inconsistencies for a troll dedicated to the playstyle.

I will hold off voting because I can't be bothered to and want everyone to talk a lot.

Whatever is optimal here, rushing the Day Phase is the only suboptimalive.

Rational Madman is in faction 1, and he will kill on odd nights. We need to get him out first.

My character is Black Dragon. even if scum kills me, I will last a day phase until I bleed out. I won't know if I am bleeding, but if there's no posted kill in the night, it's pretty likely they got me.

Hey, back at it with a fun theme. I suspect most if not all of us are robots from modern Battlebots (i.e. after the Comedy Central days), which will mean I’ll have to do my research since I’ve only seen bits and pieces of the new seasons. I look forward to it, love watching these videos.

Haven’t heard of a Bleeder before, but it seems like a bit of a weaker role, which is odd given that Austin is trying to balance town against two scum teams. Doesn’t seem like it does much to move that needle.

You seem very confident. How do you know his faction kills on odd nights?

My notifications say that 7k posted here mentioning me, but that post is clearly gone. Is he allowed to delete posts?

You planning to explain anything about your behavior so far? A post that suggests you know more about scum behavioral restrictions than the OP states and a deleted response to me don’t exactly come off well, and you now have two games in a row where you’ve been scumread early for less.

It's all part of my long term strategy. 
If I regularly act suspicious, then nobody will suspect when I am actually scum.

Fun. How's that working out for you so far? Because it certainly hasn't helped town these last two games.

Upon hearing my amazing strategy, you may find yourself jealous.
Bitter resentment is to be expected.

He’s improved from voting and saying nothing else at least.
Now he says vote me out if you want to.
