Simultaneous

Simultaneous Alias: none Alignment: any Role type: Manipulative Choice: none Status: Experimental Normal

A Simultaneous role is a role that allows its owner to perform more than one personal active night action in the same night. For example, a Simultaneous Cop Doctor could use both their cop investigation and their doctor protection in the same night, if they chose to. There is no restriction on targets (other than the usual restrictions against self-targeting), e.g. the investigation and protection could be placed on the same target or on different targets.

Normal version

This modifier is on the Experimental Role List, and is currently allowed in Complex Normal games.

Simultaneous is a modifier that allows you to perform more than one personal action each night. For example, a Simultaneous Cop Doctor may both investigate someone and protect someone on the same night.

Whether the game has Inherent Multitasking or not will determine if you are able to use factional abilities with personal abilities. If you are a Simultaneous role in a game with Inherent Multitasking, you may perform more than one active night action in the same night. If you are a Simultaneous role in a game without Inherent Multitasking, you must decide whether to use your personal night actions or perform the factional kill.

Variations

The Multitasking modifier was split into this modifier and the Inherent Multitasking mechanic.

Sample Role PMs

The standardized Role PM for "Simultaneous" describes the modifier as follows:

• As a modifier that affects how actions can be used together: You have the following active abilities, and may use multiple different non-factional abilities in the same night if you wish: (edit)

Example (factional + personal actions)

Welcome to game! You are a Mafia Simultaneous Rolecop.

Your team-mates are names. You may talk to them here during night phases and confirmations only.

You have the following active abilities, and may use multiple different non-factional abilities in the same night if you wish:

• Each Night, if no other member of your faction is performing this action, you may target a player. Assuming no interference with your action, that player will die.
• Each Night, you may target a player. Assuming no interference with your action, you will learn that player's role (but not their alignment).

You win if at least one mafia member is alive and all other players are dead (or if nothing can prevent the same).

Confirm by replying to this PM with a summary of your role.

Example (personal actions only)

Welcome to game! You are a Town Simultaneous Jack of All Trades Cop Doctor.

You have the following active abilities, and may use multiple different non-factional abilities in the same night if you wish:

• Once in the game at night, you may target a player. Assuming no interference with your action, you will learn whether that player wins with Town. (You will get "no result" if this action is blocked.)
• Once in the game at night, you may target a player. Assuming no interference with your action, that player will be protected from one kill that night.

You win if all threats to the town are eliminated and at least one town-aligned player is alive.
