Newbie 989 - Dead Serious Game Over!

Newbie 989 -Dead Serious


Image

This was a trip you had been really looking forward to, spending 7 days in a huge lodge on a random mountain in the middle of the Alps. Above is the image you can see from your window, it has excellant views, wonderful fresh air and nothing but silence. You and 9 friends had decided that this should be your summer trip together. It was nice to trade the hustle and bustle of the city, for the peace and tranquility of the mountains. Then one Day, a letter appeared on the table in the lounge, it said "One person will die per night until either you or we are still alive. We will give you a chance though, you may kill somebody during the Day. Kill us, before we kill you." You didn't think much of it - it was probably Jimmy pulling a prank again. But then, you woke up to a chilling scene the next day, Jimmy was dead on the Kitchen floor it looked as though he had been strangled. One thing was for sure, Jimmy wasn't the prankster and the prankster was Dead Serious.

Seriously. Read your role PM before playing.
I am sorry if you have to prod me, I have absolutely no concept of time.

My prefered pronoun set is "cie/cir/cirs[elf]" but they is more than acceptable.

Haylen's Rules (Cross referenced with Incognito and Vi's rules to makes sure she got everything.)


During the Day...

1.
The game is a Day Start.
2.
You must bold your votes as such
Vote: Battle Mage
, please put the unvote where I can see it though, at the bottom of the post preferably. Unvoting makes me happy, but isn't completely necessary.
3.
Each Day will have a deadline of 3 weeks, not reaching a majority of votes during that time will result in a no lynch. I may extend the deadline in special circumstances. I may also reduce the deadline by one day each time if activity does not pick up. Don't lurk. Lurking makes me sad :cry:
4.
Mafia may not speak to each other during the day, lest you be smited.
5.
You may not quote your role PM's or any other communication outside thread, with the mod. Lest you be smited.
6.
I don't like cheaters.
(a)
Anybody who is found to be using invisible text, spoiler tags, encryption or anything as such will be smited unless they have an extremely good reason. Not knowing is not a good reason.
(b)
If you have the power to edit yours or anyone elses posts. Dont. Lest you be smited.
7a.
If you do not post within 72 hrs, you will receive a prod. Failure to response to the prod within 72 hrs will result in an automatic replacement. Three prods with result in an automatic replacement aswell.
b.
All mod communication should be opened as they are likely to contain important information about the game. This is to prevent mistakes with prods ect.
c.
If the third real life day after a prod is sent occurs during the night, then players are required to reply to their prod via PM. This is so that if a replacement is needed one can be found ASAP.
8.
If you don't post for a whole game day, you'll be forcibly replaced.

During Twilight

1.
Votes and unvotes will not be counted after a lynch.
2.
The person lynched may still talk during Twilight.
4. Mafia still can't talk during this time.

During the Night Phase

1.
The Night Phase will last 72 hrs. I like this number. Any actions that have not been received by then will be forgone. (Night may end early if all actions are received)
2.
If your role permits it, you may talk to the players I have given you permission to talk to during the night.
3.
Mafia, whoever sends in the kill, don't try and kill your partners, I will not be messed with.
4.
Don't try and impersonate the mafia by sending me fake action PM's, I will not appreciate it, and you will be smited.

General Rules

1.
I will not accept insulting behaviour in my games, anybody doing so will receive a nice, well worded warning from me in thread. Further breaking of the rule will receive a harsher punishment.
2.
Blue is my colour. Dont use any kind of blue in your posts, I will count it as impersonating the mod and you will be smited. Sometimes I like to edit your posts, if I do I'll use my colour.
3.
Never talk to anybody outside the game except if your role permits it, and I have told you you can talk now.
4.
Don't piss off the mod. You will be smited.
5.
If you think you have found a loophole with my rules, you haven't. I will recognise a loophole breakage and punish you accordingly.
6.
Smitings (AKA) 'Modkills', means I kill you immediately (for breaking the rules) and change your role to Neutral Survivor, meaning you auto-lose. Smitings (AKA) 'Modkills' automatically end the day. Period.
7.
Play to win, just like everyone else. Don't get disheartened if you're lynched or attacked, basically don't take anything personally. If you feel somebodies behaviour has been inappropriate PM me about it and I will deal with it in some form or another.
8.
Thy mod is thy godess...however, I may make a mistake, if I do; PM me about it and I'll deal with it in some form or another.
9.
If you need help PM me...or AIM me, I'm always online (except when I'm sleeping, or in a lecture.)
10.
The mod is afraid of ghosts, don't post when you're dead, you will scare her. Leave it to end game discussion...
11.
Treat this game as a commitment, and be courteous to your fellow players. It will make everybody, including your mod happy. Smile
12.
It is my prerogative to change the rules if I deem it necessary, you shall receive a notification in thread and a PM aswell to notify you of these changes.
13.
I like receiving PM's, if anybody fancies PMing me for a chat or rant go for it. I can't talk about game specifics though, obv obv.

IC'sIC's are Inexperienced Challenged players, they are here to help you learn to play the game correctly. If you have any game or theory related questions, they will be happy to help you. If, however, you need help understanding your role or something role specific, you should PM me.

They must follow the roles set out in the Being a Good IC wiki page.


You may also find useful information on theory ect on the MafiaScum Wiki.

Mafia is a game of honor. Cheating is breaking the honor code you committed to when you joined this site.


And lastly...have fun! :D
Seriously. Read your role PM before playing.
I am sorry if you have to prod me, I have absolutely no concept of time.

My prefered pronoun set is "cie/cir/cirs[elf]" but they is more than acceptable.

The game will use
one
of these 4 setups, I can't tell you which it is though :p but I did randomize it using random.org. Please note, it is rare that you will come across one of these setups in a non Road to Rome game, so please prepare yourself for changes in rules, roles and setups when you sign up to other games.

Possible Setups

1 Mafia Goon
1 Mafia Roleblocker
1 Cop
1 Doc
5 Townies

OR

2 Mafia Goons
1 Cop
6 Townies

OR

2 Mafia Goons
1 Doc
6 Townies

OR

1 Mafia Goon
1 Mafia Roleblocker
7 Townies

Possible Role PMs


Mafia Aligned


Mafia GoonYou are a
Mafia Goon
, one of the 'baddies' of the city. You are one of the people who have been committing murder in the village. Along with your partner [playername] who is a Mafia Goon/Mafia Roleblocker, you must hide amongst the townies by day and kill them off at night.

During the night, you can talk with your partner in [this] quicktopic, you can then send me a message as to who you wish to night kill as a team.

You win when the mafia are the majority of players in the game or nothing can prevent the same.

To confirm, please state your role back to me via PM.

Game thread is [here]


Mafia Role BlockerYou are a
Mafia Roleblocker
, one of the 'baddies' of the city. You are one of the people who have been committing murder in the village. Along with your partner [playername] who is a Mafia Goon, you must hide amongst the townies by day and kill them off at night.

During the night, you can talk with your partner in [this] quicktopic, you can then send me a message as to who you wish to night kill as a team. You also have the ability to roleblock one player per night - this means if they have any night actions, they will not be inaffective.

Note: If the goon dies, the Role Blocker can send in both the role block and the mafia kill. But the goon cannot send in a role block if the role blocker dies.

To confirm, please state your role back to me via PM.

Game thread is [here]


Town Aligned


CopYou are a
Cop
, on the side of the town. During the day, you may vote to decide who you think is mafia. When it is night, you may send me the name of one player you wish to investigate via Private Message. You will get one of the following results:

Innocent - This means they are town.
Guilty - This means they are mafia.
Inspection Unsuccessful - Meaning you have been roleblocked.

You win with the town, when all threats to the town have been eliminated.

Note: The only type of cop used in these setups are Sane Night Cops, they're the most common types of cop

To confirm, please state your role back to me via PM.

Game thread is [here]


DocYou are a
Doc
, on the side of the town. During the day, you may vote to decide who you think is mafia. When it is night, you may send me the name of a player you wish to protect at night. This means that that player will be protected from mafia night kills, unless you have been roleblocked.

You win with the town, when all threats to the town have been eliminated.

Note: Only Sane Doc's are used in these setups.

To confirm, please state your role back to me via PM.

Game thread is [here]


Vanilla TownieYou are a
Vanilla Townie
, the only thing you have in the game is your vote and mind.

You win with the town, when all threats to the town have been eliminated.

To confirm, please state your role back to me via PM.

Hi Everyone, I am your IC for this game. There are alot of ICs that make a large introductory post with little things that help newbies but I find they always forget something. As such I'm not going to do one. Instead every now and then I will have little IC tags ([IC][/IC]) around parts of my post as they will have some sort of lesson in them.

To start us off we are in the RVS stage. This is where we start placing random votes until more solid cases can be built.

Also just so we are all on the same page with each other. Could you please answer these questions:
What experience do you have playing Mafia if any at all?
What is your timezone?

Good Luck everyone. Have a fun game.

VOTE: Rioku
Suicune is better. :p

As for your questions...
1) I've played IRL but it's mostly been RVS the entire time and there aren't any reveals when you die... So it's very different from this site. This is my first game online
2) I'm UTC (-5)

But as for your vote, you're thinking of Raikou, not Rioku ;). Very different meanings.

VOTE: Mr. Nobody, Being Nobody does not help the town in any way shape or form.

Hey everyone. I've played one game on this site before, and a couple of games with friends on another private forum. I also go on epicmafia sometimes, but I don't like it anywhere near as much as forum games. I live in England, so my time zone's BST, but I'm a student on holiday at the moment, which means I often get up late and go to bed at crazy times in the morning. So, I'll probably be online at pretty much the same times as everybody else. Looking forward to playing.

Unvote

Vote: Mr Nobody

1.) OMGUS
2.) Rioku voted Nobody, and I used to watch Inuyasha o3o
3.) We're still in RVS, so I don't actually need valid reasons, neither of which those two are
4.) I think a wagon might help get things going a bit.

1) OMGUSing the OMGUS
3) Makes me uneasy. RVS doesn't mean you can go around putting your votes wherever willy nilly. The RVS has a purpose. To gain info.

I don't think it's possible to OMGUS an OMGUS,
He'd have to vote me to OMGUS him. When I said OMGUS, I meant
he
was OMGUS'ing.

I don't know.
*checks the wiki*
The wiki seems to suggest that it can be used by scum, but that it's also used as a random vote.

What's the point behind a FoS?

I voted for Rioku because it had slightly more reason (maybe not a very good one) than a random vote. Also, because it was slightly different than a random vote. It has gotten some discussion going after all.

Ok buddy, no need to get all defensive at a mere 2 votes - especially ones in RVS.

An FoS is basically just a way of letting someone know you find them scummy, but not to the point of voting them yet.

And finally, my dear Nobody

It seems like you are trying to add reasons in attempt to make your vote appear more valid, even though it doesn't need validity - we're in RVS.

Yeah in RVS you are just trying to get reads on people, starting pointless bandwagons to see how a player reacts.
