Pick Your Power Redux

Name: Pick Your Power Redux Setup Size: Large Players: 14 Setup Type: Semi-Open Large Designer: Anonymous

Pick Your Power Redux is a 14 player open setup modeled off the Pick Your Power series. The premise is, through a bidding system, players select from a list which role they'd like to be, which makes this a Split Motive/Role setup too.

Basic Setup

• 3 Mafia Goons
• 11 Townies

Mechanics

• At the beginning of the game, there is a draft to determine the order for the bidding on roles.
• Once this has happened, each player will send in the role they'd like to be. In the event multiple players select the same role, the one highest in the draft order wins the role, whilst the others stay Vanilla.
• Roles are then distributed and Day 1 begins.
• Throughout the bidding phases, the thread is locked, however, mafia may collude privately during this time and then again throughout the day.

Step 1: The Draft

• Once alignments have been dealt out, each player must send a (whole) number back to the mod, with the lowest unique number winning the draft. Second place is awarded to the second lowest unique number and so on, until all unique numbers have been exhausted. Next placed on the list is the lowest doubled numbers, followed by the next lowest doubled numbers, and so on. Continue this same process for triples and quadruples.
• In cases of multiple players selecting the same number, the higher placed between these players is chosen randomly.
• Here is an example draft:

Player's Number Selections

Player Name	Selected Number
Player 1	5
Player 2	3
Player 3	1
Player 4	12
Player 5	1
Player 6	9
Player 7	5
Player 8	6
Player 9	1
Player 10	9

Which Produces this Order

Player Name	Selected Number
Player 2	3
Player 8	6
Player 4	12
Player 7	5
Player 1	5
Player 6	9
Player 10	9
Player 9	1
Player 5	1
Player 3	1

• Note: Players of the same number are randomized to see which is placed higher. For example, player 7 and player 1 both selected 5, with player 7 being randomly placed above the other.

Step 2: Bidding for Roles

• Once the draft order has been determined, each player PM's the moderator of the game with the role they'd like to be. Roles are unisex, in the sense, that they can be selected by Mafia or Town. So, it's possible to have a Mafia 1-Shot Vig or a Town 1-Shot Vig, and so on.
