Coalition I : The Playtest

[thisisntme]

If I can get a combined total of 5 points, I will sabotage double gamble for you

I expect it to sabotage itself for free, actually..

Well, in that case, my vote can be bought for 3 points and if you win, I'll pay you back 2 (including the point you get for me voting for you)

[damo666]

I have joined Democracy.

Please vote for me. If I win I will randomly choose 1 player to receive 3 points and give all others 1 point.

Best offer available

[thisisntme]

I only accept bribes before you win. If you want my vote you better be certain that you win by giving me the points now.

@Yavuzovic, did you actually join democracy?

[yavuzovic]

I did.

Literally the same offer that posted before that, but sure

Could everyone who voted for me send me a PM, so I can vote for one of you.

Yeah but mine's worded nicer because it says '3' not '2'.

Don't you feel comfortable?
You can still vote me - so you gain 5 instead of 2. I actually recommend this for you.

Phase 5:
Rule: Popular Leader bonus is increased to 4 points. If two or more popular coalitions are tied, each of those coalitions leaders get a 2 points bonus instead of no bonus.

The “Popular” Coalition: This coalition has a normal leader and anyone can join it. Each player in the largest popular coalition will gain 24/n points. Additionally, the leader of the largest popular coalition gains a bonus 2 points. Any popular coalition that is not the largest popular coalition gains 0 points. If two or more popular coalitions are tied in being the largest, each member of the coalitions is awarded 12/n points, and no leader bonuses are received.

The “Thief” Coalition: This coalition has a thief leader, and anyone can join it. Before the end of the phase, the thief leader must PM the GM ##Steal [player]. You cannot target yourself. If there are at least three members in the thief coalition, the theft is a success (barring a bodyguard coalition). If the target is a leader of a coalition, that player loses 8 points, and each member in this coalition gains 6 points. If that player is not a leader of a coalition, that player loses 4 points instead. However, if multiple thief coalitions target the same player and have at least three members, none of the thefts are successful.

The “Hijack” Coalition: This coalition has a normal leader. Any player can join this coalition. The coalition leader will PM the GM ##Hijack [player]’s coalition. If that target is not the leader of a coalition, the hijack is unsuccessful. If the target is a leader of a coalition, and there are at least three members in the hijack coalition, then the hijack is successful (barring a bodyguard coalition). Any points that would be awarded to any member of that coalition will no longer be rewarded to those players, and will be evenly distributed to the members of the hijack coalition. If two or more hijack coalitions successfully target the same player, both hijacks are unsuccessful.

The “Bodyguard” Coalition: This coalition is leaderless. To join this coalition, a player PMs the GM with ##Guard [player]. If two or more players protect the same player, that player gains protection. A player with protection cannot be stolen from and a coalition they lead cannot be hijacked. If a bodyguard has a successful guard on a player that was a target of a theft or hijack, the bodyguard gains 7 points.

Ugh

[Squigs44]

Theft and hijack commands can come anytime before deadline, they do not need to come at the time of the coalition creation.

Who abandoned the double gamble?

Also, ##give Jamiet99uk 2 points

Smart move, I should've thought of that.

[Claesar]

. If the target is a leader of a coalition, that player loses 8 points, and each member in this coalition gains 6 points. If that player is not a leader of a coalition, that player loses 4 points instead.

##CallGM

So, if the target is not a leader, do the thieves gain 4, 2 or 0 points?

Thieves still gain 6 points. The math doesn't even come close to adding up, but it's the only way I could think to balance the coalition so that it's worth it for the thieves without being game breaking for the target.

To be clear, each member of the thief coalition gets 6 points.

Can players Bodyguard themselves?

[Squigs44]

Can players Bodyguard themselves?

No. I thought I put that in there. I'll edit that right now.

Players may not guard themselves

[thisisntme]

I'm willing to be a bodyguard: cost is 2 points upfront (public) 2 points after it's confirmed that I guarded you.

[thisisntme]

lol, worcej instead of gaining 14 points chooses to gain 8 points, clever ploy.
