Natural Action Resolution/Matrix6
Natural action resolution is a system of resolving night actions adopted for use in the Matrix6 Newbie game setup.
The system is called natural action resolution because it always gives the intuitively "natural" result for simple situations. It is compatible with the order suggested in Night Choice but covers more cases.
The Golden Rule
Apply actions which modify other actions before the actions they modify.
Applying the Golden Rule in Three Easy Steps
- Find an action (or a passive modifier, such as Bulletproof) such that its effect cannot possibly be modified by any other action.
- Resolve it.
- Repeat from step 1 until all actions are resolved.
Newbie Guidelines
[Coming soon]
Kill
The mafia team shares a factional night kill action. The mafia team must choose which of their members will carry out the kill.
Killing doesn't stop the actions of the dead player. (Imagine that all kills happen at the end of the night, and everyone pulls the trigger simultaneously.) This means that kills generally do not affect other actions for the purpose of the Golden Rule.
Roleblock
If a Roleblocker and a Jailkeeper target one another, the actions loop so that there is not logically an action to choose to resolve that is not modified by one another. In this special case, the roleblock action takes precedence, and thus the jailkeep action fails.

Protect
Jailkeep
Track
1-shot Bulletproof (Passive)
The 1-shot Bulletproof is a passive ability that cannot be roleblocked.
Examples by Setup Row/Column
Row 1
- Example 1: Mafia Goon #1 submits a kill action on Vanilla Townie #1. Town Jailkeeper submits a jailkeep action on Vanilla Townie #1.
- Result: The jailkeep action is not modified by any other action and is processed first. Vanilla Townie #1 is simultaneously protected & blocked. Mafia Goon #1's kill fails due to Vanilla Townie #1 being protected.
- Example 2: Town Jailkeeper jailkeeps Mafia Goon #2. Mafia Goon #1 kills Vanilla Townie #1.
- Result: Both night actions are processed independently of one another. Mafia Goon #2 is simultaneously protected & blocked. Vanilla Townie #1 is killed by Mafia Goon #1.
