Information is intangible, yet valuable. The very concept of gaining and granting knowledge is very easy to create, which is why it is also very versatile as a combination component.

Communication is a form of power in which two or more individuals interact with each other. Considering public access is a right that is typically present in all games, the generic way to give more meaning to this concept is by adding more spaces where limited individuals can interact with each other, potentially disclosing matters they would rather not share in public.

Votes represent the strength of the uninformed majority. In its simplest form, it is an easy to use tool to probe for others’ reaction and/or express whose death the user wishes to see. A couple ways of increasing the complexity in this field is by (1) adding hidden votes which are unseen by the public, (2) changing the weight of one’s vote (potentially into negative values), and (3) adding votes from external sources. (E.g., “Hated” makes one require one vote less to be executed by majority. In a sense, it is as if they have one vote on them.) However, increasing complexity doesn’t necessarily improve player experience, and often gives the unintended opposite result instead.


Killing is a simple yet crucial form of action to remove a player from the game, typically followed with the reveal of that player’s information to the public. Killing removes a player’s presence, voice, and vote from the game, leaving behind their interactions with other players. This power is of utmost importance to normal Mafia games, though it is occassionally also given to certain Town individuals.

Protection is the denial of the act of killing. With such a powerful ability, it requires the same level of limitations as its counterpart, lest it removes the meaning of killing’s existence.

Block has similar nature to protection, except instead of predicting who will be attacked, the user needs to predict who the attacker is. However, in terms of effect, it doesn’t only target killing roles, but rather it causes any active ability to fail, for better or worse. Block removes the target’s agency, which is why some hosts compensate this loss by informing them of said loss.

Redirection could be interpreted as a form of block, except whether it is better or worse depends on the ability that was redirected. The same compensation logic from block applies here as well.

Misleading abilities are strictly anti-Town, as the information hidden from the public gives Town no information to work with. What’s actually egregious is the falsification of information, as it weakens the idea that the host’s feedback are undeniable.

The very act of gaining power is in itself a power. Usually this is coated with the user’s agency, where they may choose which ability they will gain. (I got tired of writing around this section.)

What do you mean I know many such people who use exclamation points when talking about perfume & cologne, list everything by bullet points with a summary in bold before the real point, some things don’t entirely flow well, but keep everything kind of generic except for one statistic.

my teasure room …

The flip side of this is whenever somebody talks with patterns in their text intentionally my brain fixates on it really really bad and it’s like uncomfortable and distressing. If somebody talks trying to make every sentence start with hte same letter I, like, grip onto it and start compulsively mentally doing the same thing. When Brakuren started talking in rhyme in FAM I literally just had to mute him the entire time because otherwise everything he said echoed in my brain over and over again and made me very stressed and upset

It’s not bad with songs and poems and shit because the songs aren’t trying to communicate an idea, they’re just words in a shape, so I look at them as the shape, not the words. If I find the information in a song/poem, like, the primary focus rather htan the shape it’s in, it sometimes gets kinda worse, but usually they’re also. Like. Well-written. They have meter. So my brain hangs on to the inconsistencies less and it’s less distressing to get in my head.
