Newbie 602 - Finally Over!

Post Post #0 (ISO) » Tue Apr 22, 2008 1:56 pm

Post by JDodge »

The quaint little hamlet of Stoneberry sits deep within the forest; it is a community made up of hard-working villagers who sustain themselves off the land as much as possible. This is a story of greed and desire, when what the few want gets in the way of the rest. If a gun fires in the woods and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

Rules (blatantly stolen from mith):
  • This is a game. Have fun. Don't let things get personal.
  • During Day, you may vote for the player you want to lynch. Votes should be in the form
    Vote: Player
    or they may not be counted. It is helpful to "
    Unvote
    " when switching your vote to a different player, though this is not required.
  • Whenever a player has a majority in votes, that player will be lynched, his or her role will be revealed, and Night will begin. Once a player has reached a majority, no votes or unvotes will be registered. You may also
    Vote: No Lynch
    ; a majority will end Day without a death.
  • If discussion lags or Day goes on for too long, a deadline may be set. If no one has reached a majority at the deadline, no one will be lynched.
  • During Night, players with role abilities may send targets for those abilities. Choices are due by the posted deadline.
  • Don't edit/delete posts. Use the "Preview" button to look over your post before you submit it.
  • Don't quote any PMs from the Moderator.
  • Mafia are allowed to communicate by PM during the Night phase only. Otherwise, do not talk to anyone about this game outside the thread.
  • If you're dead, you're dead. Do not talk until the game is over; this includes talking to living players outside the thread.
  • If you have any question, complaint, or comment, PM the Moderator.
Setup:


This game uses the F11 setup. One setup will be selected at random from the following:
Role PMs (Blatantly stolen from Mr. Flay, items in {braces} may or may not be in the role PM)

Mafia Roleblocker PM wrote:You are a Mafia Roleblocker, along with your partner _________ (who is simply a Goon). Your goal is to eliminate the pro-town players so that only your side remains; you win if this happens. During the Day, try to blend in with the rest of the players, and get someone lynched.

You may talk with your partner at Night, and send me a choice via PM of who you would like to kill/roleblock (your team can do both if both of you live; if only you survive, you must choose one action or the other).

Note: You may talk with your partner privately during confirmations to plan strategy, but no night actions will take place until Night One.
Mafia Goon PM wrote:You are a Mafia Goon, along with your partner _________ (who is a {pro-Mafia Roleblocker}{mafia goon}). Your goal is to eliminate the pro-town players so that only your side remains; you win if this happens. During the Day, try to blend in with the rest of the players, and get someone lynched.

You may talk with your partner at Night, and send me a choice via PM of who you would like to kill {(if your partner also lives, they can send in a separate choice to roleblock someone)}.

Note: You may talk with your partner privately during confirmations to plan strategy, but no night actions will take place until Night One.
Doctor PM wrote:You are the Doctor, and you can protect people from harm. Each Night, you may send me a choice via PM of who to protect; if they come under attack by the Mafia, they will live. You win if the scum are eliminated, so choose wisely at Night, and try to lynch correctly during the Day.

Note: Doctors are 100% effective in Newbie Games (the person you protect will never die on the night they are protected, unless you are roleblocked). You may not protect yourself.
Cop PM wrote:You are the Cop, and you can tell good from bad. Each Night, you may send a player's name to me; I will let you know if your investigation shows that they are Mafia or Town. You win if the scum are eliminated, so choose wisely at Night, and lynch well during the Day.

Note: Cops always get a correct result in Newbie Games (no sanity issues), unless you are roleblocked. You cannot investigate yourself
Townie PM wrote:You are a Townie, and you've got no special powers at Night. No investigations, no protection, no gun to shoot people. Your only powers are the ability to post, vote, and think. Help lynch Mafia during the Day, and you will win the game, along with the rest of the Town.

Role PMs are now out. Day One will start as soon as everyone picks up their role PM.

It is now Day One. With 9 alive, it takes 5 to lynch.

But I like my brackets!

And I think I qualify as an IC... at least I was noted as one in my previous game ;) Doesn't particularly make a difference though... I won't be playing any differently because of the title :P and I'm sure we'll all be as helpful as we can.

I do play differently as an IC. I tend to be more helpful.

I usually point out at this point that when I give generalized advice in a newbie game, I do it without respect to my role. So, if I say something like, "You shouldn't claim on Day 1 unless you're in danger of being lynched," then that's good advice that I would give anyone. I'm not trying to manipulate the game.

If, however, I say, "We should all lynch CallMeLiam. He's scum." That's advice specific to the game, and I could be manipulating you.

Of course, in this game, I am town, so you should all feel free to follow whatever I say blindly. (Obligatory controversial statement to spark discussion.)

I used to do a lot of wilderness expeditions . . so I have played Literally THOUSANDS of times in Real Life. (meat-space?)

But I have only played once online. I found a game randomly. . and it is the greatest thing ever.

If only I had a desk job.. I could play always!

Sorry for not showing up so long.. Had no connection for almost 2 days. It's my first ever mafia game btw..
I found out about this when played some f1 manager game. Other players used to play mafia in forum, and I caught myself spending more time following them than playing that manager game (trough it was great too). :wink:
