You may increase stats 1PP : 1 point for the first increase in a given stat, and 2PP : 1 point for subsequent increases in that same stat. You may do so as much as you want each night:

• base proficiency in Pitching (max level 5)
• base proficiency in Outfield (max level 5)
• base proficiency in Infield (max level 5)
• base proficiency in Contact (max level 5)
• base proficiency in Power (max level 5)

In addition, you may purchase 1 item from the store each night. Everything that costs 2+ have limited supply, so get yours while the offer lasts! And no returns or trading.
If you attempt to purchase something and it is out of stock, I will let you pick something else in a timely fashion. Available stock will be refreshed at top of each day.
Also, to be marginally transparent, mafia have access to a side store with a handful of special items for purchase that only they can access.

Purchaseable Powers (you may use the phase they are purchased, if you wish):
Cost 1 PP (no limit):

• first dibs (make sure you are at the top of the lineup next phase (multiples will be placed in the order they are bought))
• juice box (temporarily increase pitching, infield and outfield stats by 1 tomorrow)
• advertising (post a picture via host into the thread at top of day. No more than 3 words)
• batting power up
• pitching power up

Cost 2 PP (limited to 3 each):

• bubblegum (block any player from night action (doesn’t affect stat distribution)(3))
• walkie talkie (BTSC with any player next day phase) (3)
• bandaid (1x partial doctor; has 50% chance to protect the target from a poison or kill) (3)

Cost 3 PP (limited to 2 each):

• cool glasses (1x track (2))
• snapwatch (1x watch (2))
• mom’s credit card (lynch proof if you earn 1 point next day- it will be spent) (mod announcement) (2)
• Fruit By the Foot (permanently increase both of another player’s offensive attributes by 1 (maxed at 5) (mafia may not purchase this) (2))
• basic spitball (33% success chance Day or Night vig shot- Day shot must be after simulation game) (2)
• basic scouting report (1x check another player’s stats) (2)

Cost 5 PP (limited to 1 each):

• premium scouting report (1x check another player’s role card (1))
• dinosaur-themed bandaids (2x NK and poison protect (1))
• premium spitball (1x Day or Night vig shot- day shot must be after simulation game (1))
  
  POWER-UPS:
  Batting Power-ups (you may only have 1 active at a time. Most recently purchased will be active unless you notify host):
  • flat brim cap (on the first pitch of an at-bat, you gain advantage against the pitcher, meaning I will take your best out of two d8 rolls)
  • crazy bunt (if you contact roll <6 in total, auto-advance to 1st)
  • aluminum power (expended after 2 uses: if you power hit, roll with advantage)
  • screaming line drive (expended after 2 uses; if you get on base, gain an extra base, maxing out at an inside-the-park-HR)
  • under grounder (expended after 2 hits; the defender that attempts to catch your ball will chase the ball for so long that their defense will subtract by 2 and their vote will be worth 0, known to them)
  • sonic boom (expended after 2 hits; the defender that attempts to catch your ball will be unable to talk the rest of the day phase)
  • rubber bat (a tie with the defender results in a triple instead)
  • geyser hit (expended after 2 hits; the opponent that attempts to catch your ball will receive an extra vote against them in the poll)
  • jumping bean bunt (expended after 2 uses: if you contact hit, roll with advantage)
  • lightning bat (if you get a ‘Contact’ hit with at least 5 over the defender, you kill the player attempting to field your ball; this power-up is then expended)
  • piñata bat (If you get a ‘Power’ hit with at least 5 over the defender, you kill the player attempting to field your ball; this power-up is then expended)
  Pitching Power-ups (you may only have 1 active at a time. Most recently purchased will be active unless you notify host):
  • crazyball (switch an opponent’s contact and power modifier when pitching against them)
  • big freeze (auto out if total roll is 8 or higher on two strikes)
  • corkscrew (roll 2, 4, 7 or 8)
  • elevator (roll only 1 or 8)
  • zigzag (roll with a d10)
  • slowmo (if the opponent has a higher hitting stat than your Pitching stat, they lose their modifier bonus)
  • spitball (roll 7 or 8 on one or fewer strikes)
  • fireball (expended after 1 use: If you strikeout a player with the final strike as 5 or more, you will outright kill the batter from awe)

There is a maximum 9 players on defense, and 9 players on offense. I will attempt to equalize “teams” between cycles, most likely changing up teams from phase to phase and giving as much alternation as I can. Early on, there will a lack of players to cover every defensive position as 9 people will not always be on defense after day 1, and any unfilled positions will be filled by NPC’s. NPC’s are baseline players with baseline stats.
-Once 4 players are on the defense, they will each select 2 positions.
-Once 3 players are on the defense, they will each select 3 positions.
-Once 2 players are on the defense, they will each select 4 positions.
-Once 1 player is on the defense, should that happen, they will take over 5 positions, rest their soul.
(This is to mitigate the amount of NPCs that need to be on the defense and maintain fairness)

If all available players on offense are on base when a new at-bat comes up, a non-player character (another character not used in the player pool) will “pinch-run”, aka substitute in to run the bases for the player farthest along the bases. The player that was removed from the base path then gets to attempt to hit again. The NPC does not benefit from scoring.

Some players may ultimately be towards the top of the lineup multiple days in a row as numbers dwindle. Priority will go to players that haven’t had an at-bat as recently as others. At least 1 player will always be left on defense, and NPC’s will fill in as needed.


Offense:
In a game of baseball, the offense is given 3 outs before their offensive turn is over. In this game, 1 round of offense occurs per team per day. Players are set into a batting order at top of day, and the host will do as much as he can in keeping this fair between days (i.e. if you were about to bat before the inning ended, you might be 1st to bat the next time you are on offense).
Not everyone on offense may get an at-bat each day. On the flip side, players may get multiple at-bats in a day.

If 3 players get out on offense, the “inning” will end. If a player has more than one at-bat in an inning, their hitting selection will alternate to their unpicked option automatically.

Batters square off against the pitcher, and a d8 is rolled. If the result is +1 or +2 against the pitcher, it is a ball. (4 balls is a walk.) If the result is a tie or the pitcher rolls 1 higher than the batter, it is a foul ball, which counts as a strike but never a strike-out.
If the pitcher rolls 2 higher for three times or at least the 3rd strike in an at-bat, it is a strike out. If the batter rolls 3 higher, they move into the Hit phase. Clear as mud?

In the Hit phase, the batter will hit the ball to either the outfield (if using power) or the infield (if using contact), rolled randomly by position. Defense:
The defender rolls a d8 and adds their respective Infield or Outfield modifiers to field the ball (The pitching stat is not used in defense of a ball hit to that position. Infield is used instead)
The batter then rolls a d8; this roll (boosted by their contact or power stat) must surpass the defense of a player to get on base.

• Tie goes to defender.
• 1-3 more is a single.
• 4-5 is a double.
• 6 is a triple.
• 7+ is a HR.

Baserunning rules:
Players advance on base exactly the number of bases hit. A player on 2nd will advance only 1 base on a single. A walk will not advance a player on 2nd unless they are forced from a player already on 1st. No stolen bases. No sacrifice flies. No productive outs: if a player gets out, it never advances the runner.
