You awaken in an unfamiliar dark room, with no idea of how you arrived. All you remember is falling asleep at your computer last night by the harsh glare of the monitor.

Suddenly, a hollow metallic voice booms out from every direction.

THIS IS A SIM--

You gasp. The dark walls beside you light up, and intricate wiring and microchips gleam in the dark.

THIS IS A SIMULA--

ERROR! PARSE ERROR! PROCESSING 101011110010000

There is a horrible screech, like feedback from a microphone but a hundred times more unbearable. You wince and clutch your head.

By the phosphorescent light of the circuitry, you see that you are not alone. Figures are stirring on the ground beside you, rubbing their eyes. Some stare numbly at the wiring running along the walls, as if they can't tell if they're dreaming. The bolder ones are stumbling to their feet.

YOU HAVE BEEN SELECTED FOR SIMULATION TRIAL NUMBER

NU-NUMBER 9 OF MODEL AM RANDOM NUMBER GE-GENERATOR

SEQUENCE 1-100

EXE-EXECU-CUTING SUBROUTINE C9++

One of the strangers mutters, "What the hell is going--"

COMMENCING REPROGRAMMING OF SUBJECTS

And then the room--or whatever it is--explodes in a flash of red, and you see the stranger's eyes glaze over, but before that thought can register, your own mind is full of new information and a new purpose. You understand that there is only one way out of here.

FULFILL YOUR OBJECTIVE

COMMENCING CONFIRMATION PHASE OF SIMULATION

COMMUNICATION PATHWAYS ACTIVATED

Right before everything turns black, you wonder which of you will open your eyes again.

I'm sending out role PMs now and locking this thread. Night 0 will end seventy-two hours after 8/12 players have confirmed in the way stated in their role PM.

[Mina]

C9++ is an open set-up with multiple variations generated randomly:

Spoiler: The nitty-gritty of the set-up

12 players. Night start. No unusual mechanics. Roles are selected as follows:

First, generate 7 letters from the following distribution:

50% T
15% C
10% D
10% V
10% M
5% B

MOD NOTE: I will generate a random number from 1-100 7 times from random.org. If it lands 1-50, it's a T, 51-65 = C, 66-75 = D, 76-85 = V, 86-95 = M, 96-100 = B.

Then turn the letters into roles using the following tables. Probabilities are for 0 letters, 1 letter, etc.

C = sane cop + 1-3 millers (millerhood is distributed randomly among non-cop, non-scum, non-child)
CC = sane cop
CCC = sane cop + insane cop
CCCC = sane cop + sane cop
CCCCC = sane cop + sane cop + insane cop
CCCCCC = sane cop + sane cop + sane cop

(32%, 40%, 21%, 6%, 1%, .1%, .007%)

D = doc
DD = doc + backup doc
DDD = doc + doc
DDDD = doc + doc + backup doc
DDDDD = doc + doc + doc

(48%, 37%, 12%, 2%, .3%, .02%)

V = vig
VV = vig + one-shot vig
VVV = vig + vig
VVVV = vig + vig + one-shot vig
VVVVV = vig + vig + vig

(48%, 37%, 12%, 2%, .3%, .02%)

M = innocent child
MM = 2 masons
MMM = 2 masons + innocent child
MMMM = 3 masons
MMMMM = 2 masons + 2 masons

(48%, 37%, 12%, 2%, .3%, .02%)

B = blocker
BB = blocker + backup blocker
BBB = blocker + blocker
BBBB = blocker + blocker + backup blocker

(70%, 26%, 4%, .4%, .02%)

TTTTTTT = mafia goon + mafia godfather
TTTTTT = mafia goon + mafia godfather + serial killer (DI, BI)
TTTTT = mafia goon + mafia goon + mafia godfather
TTTT = mafia goon + mafia goon + mafia godfather + serial killer (DI, BI, KI)
TTT = mafia goon + mafia blocker + mafia godfather
TT = mafia goon + mafia blocker + mafia godfather + serial killer (DI, BI, CI, KI)
T = mafia spy + mafia blocker + mafia godfather
0 = mafia spy + mafia blocker + mafia godfather + serial killer (DI, BI, CI, KI, SI, RB)

(.8%, 5%, 16%, 27%, 27%, 16%, 5%, .8%; exactly 50% of all games have a serial killer)

Mafia GF appears to cops as a townie (Added: Both sanities). Mafia Spy learns one targeted player's role type each night (T/C/D/V/M/B). (The SK can tell the mod how he wants to appear to the Spy; if the Spy investigates the SK, the SK is notified.)

DI = each kill bypasses single doc protect (but not more)
BI = bypasses single roleblock attempt each night (but not more)
KI = survives one kill attempt each night (but not more)
CI = appears to cops as a townie (Added: Both sanities)
SI = appears to mafia spy as desired
RB = has a roleblock ability usable once

No role can target itself.

All kills are indistinguishable.

The mafia and SK know their own abilities. Mafia and SK abilities, cop sanity, and millerhood are not revealed on death.

Last team standing wins. If everyone dies, SK wins or mafia and town draw.

So in other words, depending on the RNG's mad whims, the following roles are possible (with Mafia/SK firepower affected by the town's roles):

Town:

Sane cope of unknown sanity, insane cop of unknown sanity, unknowing miller, doctor, back-up doctor, vigilante, one-shot vigilante, innocent child, mason, roleblocker, back-up roleblocker

Mafia:

Goon, godfather, roleblocker, spy

Serial Killer

(50% chance of appearing in the game)

:

Doctor/roleblock/kill/cop/spy inspection immune and/or one-shot roleblocker

Town roles will be revealed on death (other than cop sanity and millerhood), but not Mafia or SK abilities.

Here is the sample vanilla townie PM:

Welcome to Open 264: Attack of the RNG (C9++). The thread is here.

Role:

Vanilla Townie

Alignment:

Town

(duh)

Win Condition:

You escape from the RNG simulation when all threats to the town are eliminated and there is at least one town-aligned player alive.

Powers:

Vote:

You may vote during the day for a lynch.

All role PMs follow the same modular structure. At any point, you may PM me to ask what a potential role PM would look like for any of the following roles: cop, doctor, back-up doctor, vigilante, one-shot vigilante, innocent child, mason, roleblocker, back-up roleblocker.

Remember that this is a

night start

game. All roles may choose an action on N0, or withhold. If I receive no PM from a player before the night is over, I will treat this as no action.

[Mina]

A metallic voice echoes through your dreams in its dead monotone.

CONFIRMATION PHASE...TERMINATED

COMMENCING NIGHT ZERO PHASE

Most of you continue your troubled sleep. But the supercomputer emits electromagnetic waves of just the right frequency that activate a few of its sleeping captives' consciousnesses. These players have been selected by AM for a specific purpose.

Eight players have confirmed, and Night Zero has begun.

Night will end in anywhere from forty-eight hours (if I receive all PMs on time) to seventy-two hours. The final deadline for N0 is Sunday, November 21st, at

4:30 PM EST

6:30 PM EST. If you do not send an action in before then, you will default to no action.

(I'll have a more formal rules post up by

tomorrow

the end of N0 .)

[Mina]

I'll be at work all day and won't be able to unlock the thread, so I will extend the deadline until 6:30 PM EST on Sunday, November 21st, 2010. That's only sixteen-and-a-half hours away. Please send me your PMs immediately!

(This post will be edited and replaced with a rules list.)

[Mina]

Due to a last-minute change of plans, I won't get home until later this evening. The scene and rules list are saved on my home computer, but I don't want to make you guys wait any longer, so I'll just end the night from my phone.

Just the basics until then: vote with

Vote: Mina

or VOTE: Mina (unvotes not necessary), majority required to lynch and 50% to no-lynch, two-week deadlines with possible extensions, post every 72 hours or be prodded, you get one "Bah!" post revealing no game-related information, follow site rules and play to your win condition, no discussing this game outside the thread, treat each other with respect, don't quote or pretend to quote mod communication or link to QTs,

dark red

is my color and mono my font, yadda yadda. Don't use fact that there's no formal rules post up yet as a loophole to do something flagrantly illegal during the next couple of hours, like quote your role PM. I reserve the right to modkill or force-replace for that.

I'm prodding Shattered Viewpoint and Josh Lyman. If they don't post in the thread within twenty-four hours, I'll start looking for replacements.

[Mina]

This is really depressing. Neither Josh Lyman nor Shattered Viewpoint have picked up their prods.

Come on. No one has posted since yesterday. This is me right now:



I'll start looking for replacements (although they can have their spot back if I don't find one before they return), but a few more people are near prod territory as well. Please, be more active. Or I'll be forced to manipulate you with more pictures of sad kittens.

[Mina]

DemonHybrid is awesome and replaces Josh Lyman.

(Note: I'm replacing Josh Lyman first because Shattered Viewpoint's sig says he was V/LA yesterday. Don't metagame this. )

[Mina]

So the good news is that the very awesome Stephoscope replaces Shattered Viewpoint!

The bad news is that Sevei has to step out.

[Mina]

In yet more awesome news, Faraday replaces Sevei. Everyone welcome your three new replacements, who've just won a spot in my sig.

Prodding Guthrie and smashbro_of_the_SSS. They will be replaced if they don't respond in the thread within twenty-four hours.

[Mina]

Neither smashbro_of_the_SSS nor Guthrie have picked up their prods. But luckily, the wonderful Kitoari has offered to replace in. He will be filling smashbro's slot, since smash has gone longer without posting. I'm amazed by how quickly empty slots have been filled.

Now looking for a replacement for Guthrie. Let's see if our entire player list changes before the end of Day One. I'll probably extend the deadline by a few days to accommodate the replacements.

Edit: On a side note, I've just realized that I've been using two different shades of red as my mod colours all game. Signs of a rookie mod...

[Mina]

In other news, somehow I missed that hohum was due for a prod yesterday. He also has twenty-four hours to get back here, or I get to cull the herd some more. MWAHAHAHAHA!

Prodding gives me sadistic pleasure.

[Mina]

*fixes the vote count*

Everyone welcome DeathNote, who replaces Guthrie.

[Mina]

hohum hasn't responded even though he got a lucky extension because I fell asleep when I got home last night. I'll PM the replacement I have lined up to see if he's ready.

[Mina]

Since hohum responded before my potential replacement did, he can keep his slot.

Prodding EggyLv999. He has twenty-four hours to post in the thread, or he will be replaced.

By the way, do you guys like the strict prod and replace rules, or would you prefer I was a bit more lenient so as to reduce replacements? I'm happy with how much activity has picked up since our new batch joined the game, but I know at least one booted player still wanted to play.

[Mina]

Goddammit guys, couldn't you have waited until I got back from work to end the day? I'm going to lock the thread now, but I'm posting from a phone. I'll go to a coffee shop and post the vote count, scene, and flip then.

Also, MafiaSSK is long overdue for a prod. If he doesn't post within twenty-four hours of the beginning of N2, I'm going to replace him.

Sorry, Akira, but I can't let people unvote once a hammer has been reached. (Speaking of which...oh, fuck, there's still no rules post, is there.)

MINA PUT ME OUT OF MY MISERY.

Hey, what am I supposed to do about it, modkill you?

[Mina]

I'm so sorry to have kept everyone waiting for the flip. A coworker invited me for dinner, and unfortunately, it would have been really rude to have taken out my phone, done a vote count, and written a scene while I was at her house.

END OF DAY ONE

After waking to find Scott Brosius in pixels on the floor, you are terrified. Every moment this simulation lasts, you are more likely to be permanently deleted from the system. You must find those among you who have been chosen by the RNG as instruments of your destruction.

In your paranoia and terror, you recklessly shout out names of players to sacrifice to AM. Who cares about thoughtful debate and taking things slow? You'd much rather speedlynch some poor sap. After all, better him than you. As you draw closer to the point of no return, the voice of the computer echoes through the walls of your prison.

START OF DAY TWO

When you open your eyes, you entertain the feeble hope that this was all a dream. But the familiar metallic voice kills that hope instantly.

PHASE N2...COMPLETED

Immediately, a knot of dread forms in the pit of your stomach. Then you sit up and take a few moments to compose yourself. You are still alive. And when you look around you, you see ten of you remaining. That's a good sign. Last time, the day phase had begun instantly with someone already deleted, since

the mod was lazy and didn't finish a scene

the cold rational mind of the AM computer does not deal with such subjective frivolities as flavour.

Maybe the rest of the simulation will not be as dangerous.

You wonder what the hell he was talking about, but never mind that. Sadly, another one of you has been erased from the system, his consciousness to be permanently destroyed. And once again, the RNG had assigned the victim beforehand to the uninformed majority for this simulation.

Turns out ribmoron is as bad as MoronHybrid with tags...

Mod, can you confirm this for me?

Person A and B are both roleblockers. Person C is a vigilante.

Person A blocks person B
Person B blocks person C
Person C kills person D

In this hypothetical situation, assuming no other variables, person D will die, correct?

As I'm going by natural action resolution, yes. Person A's action modifies person B's, stopping his roleblock, and allowing C to kill D freely.

Um...wow. I can't believe the day lasted less than twenty-four hours.

But your time in the RNG simulation has hardened your hearts. You execute him with no hesitation. AM's judgment is swift and implacable.

TERMINATING KITOARI

TERMINATING

Kitoari covers his face. "Don't tell my family that I ki--"

ERASING DATA ASSOCIATED WITH SUBJECT: KITOARI FROM SYSTEM

Then he is put out of his misery--well, after the excruciating pain of deletion is over, anyway.

RESULT OF PHASE D3--

OBSERVATION: INTERESTING

NOT AS PREDICTED

SUCCESSFUL RESULT

You'd already closed your eyes and braced yourself for your immediate death. This stops you short. Your racing heart slows down, and you break out into a grin. A rush of elation courses through you. For the first time, you can see a future outside of this prison of circuitry.

PERHAPS CAPABILITIES OF TEST SUBJECTS WERE UNDERESTIMATED

PREDICTION OF SUCCESS RATE OF SIMULATION: INCREASED

REMINDER: CORRECT ERROR FROM RNG SIMULATIONS 1-8

MAFIA ROLES REMAIN CLASSIFIED

COMMENCING N3 PHASE

Then you remember that tomorrow you will have to do this again. Your last thought before unconsciousness hits is that perhaps it would have been kinder for you to have lost today.

Night Three has begun. The deadline is Friday, December 17^th, at 1:30 PM EST, or you will default to no-action.

[Mina]

START OF DAY FOUR

You open your eyes again. The memory of your success yesterday--are days even passing, or is it just an illusion created by the simulation?--gives you hope.

But AM's familiar monotone voice brings a cold reminder of what's at stake.

PHASE N3...COMPLETED

PARSING...NIGHT ACTION RESOLUTION

ERASE DATA ASSOCIATED WITH SUBJECT: AKIRA

You are ambivalent at the news. Akira had the power to delete anyone from the system at his whim, so you rest easier with his absence. But he was still another body preventing the other side from gaining numerical superiority.

END OF DAY FOUR
Yeah, yeah, you know the drill. You're all trigger-happy and vote to lynch someone hours after the thread's opening, the creepy RNG speaks LIKE THIS and mumbles about system errors and terminating people, the poor hapless victim begs for mercy and wets himself, but is erased from the system anyway, AM announces the beginning of the night phase, everything turns black, etc. By now, you're pros at this.

So this time, the sucker to be sacrificed to AM is DeathNote. Since you're just skimming the scenes, I'll skip the lead-up and give you the only part you really care about--his flip. And you're on a roll!

I really wanted to end the game with an epic scene, but I need to get ready for a birthday thing. So I'll just cut to the chase.

END OF DAY FIVE

You wake up to find a dead Stephoscope, and jason sobbing. "I give up," he says. "Just make it quick."

You immediately lock in your votes, and AM gives his verdict.

RESULT OF SIMULATION...SUCCESSFUL

WELL DONE, TOWN.

ENDING SIMULATION MMBVTTT

And then you awake beside your computer. The browser windows you were looking at before you'd fallen asleep are still open. Perhaps it was all a dream.

But just in case, you unplug your computer. From now on, you will spend a lot more time outdoors.

Meanwhile, thousands of miles apart, families all over the world are rising to find their loved ones staring vacantly at their computer screens. Each one is still breathing, although drool is coming from his mouth, and they can feel a pulse. But although they try to shake him awake and call his name, he does not respond.

These ten subjects will never wake up again.

TOWN WINS!

Well, technically, since everyone else's consciousnesses were permanently erased, DemonHybrid and Lateralus22 are the only true winners, but the other townies can rest easy in their vegetative states knowing they were part of the more successful side.

I really need to go get ready for a birthday thing I'm going to, so more thoughts/notes/PMs later. But the graveyard is here. I'll post the Mafia QT if every scum agrees.

But in a nutshell, I was very impressed with how the town's fortunes turned around on D3. I'll be honest. On N2, I was a bit disappointed with the lack of cohesion of the town. When Lateralus sent me his overnight reads upon replacing in and said he suspected Stephoscope and Akira, I figured, "Oh, well, game over." I chalked it off as yet another game lost to lurking and apathy." But wow, everything from D3 onward had me constantly on the edge of my seat. The Lateralus22/DemonHybrid double-team was devastating, and I'd have been shaking in my boots were I scum at that aggressiveness and activity.

That said, I wonder how things would have turned out had the attempted quickhammer never happened.

Thanks to everyone for playing and putting up with a rookie mod, and an extra big thanks to the many, many replacements who stepped in when I needed them and kept this game running and very fast-paced and active at the end. Extra credit to Lateralus, who saved me from having a two-week-long night and turned the game around with his entry to the game.

[Mina]

Yeah, the quick lynch attempt was really bad. He semi claimed scum in that post. Oddly enough after I come in totally wrong with my reads scum end up getting lynched one after the other. The Akira nk was not the best move though, it would have been possible to push an Akira lynch.

I mentioned as much in the graveyard QT, but yeah, the Akira kill was a mistake. Even had they mislynched Stephoscope on D4, Akira's vig kill wouldn't have won the game for them. They'd have been better.

I'd though DH's D1 Mason claim was a mistake at the time (I personally would have waited until D2, when clearing himself would have been more beneficial to the suspect pool), but it ended up working fantastically for him because the doctor threat scared the scum away.

There were some smaller things early but but they kinda blended in, late game was lackluster for scum.

On a side note, my beliefs from early game completely changed towards the end. Though btw The fast lylo days were very fun, I was calling DN by DH half the time lolz. Yeah, Demon was awsome in the end game and I'm glad we got the town win.

This game showed me the advantages of reacting quickly and being fast and loose with your votes (which is pretty much the polar opposite of my playstyle). This is why I really enjoy the fast games I play offsite, in which you can actually pressure someone and get reactions and bounce ideas off them in real-time.

We should Hydra some time, Mina is also pretty awsome.

<3

[Mina]

Lateralus definitely deserves a Best Replacement nomination for that performance.

Honestly, the only reason not to is that I'd be slighting DemonHybrid and the other replacements, who were also awesome. But he certainly fits the bill as someone whose replacement turned the game around. Will nominate him when I have time.

[Mina]

Sorry, I've been working Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and haven't had time to post PMs/night actions until now.

I wouldn't oppose a nomination, actually that'd be pretty cool. Demon deserves some serious credit too for calling out the exact scum time a bit before me and helping me get away from Akira and kinda Steph faster.

Done!

jasonT1981, Kitoari, and DeathNote

: would you have any problem with me posting the scum QT?

Three-quarters of the fun of C9++ is generating the set-up. The numbers that random.org gave me were 10 (T), 25 (T), 91 (M), 97 (B), 95 (M), 85 (V), and 48 (T)--resulting in a MMBVTTT (or godfather, roleblocker, and goon vs. two masons, a roleblocker, and a vigilante), The set-up was pretty interesting, because every Mafia power, aside from the useless godfather, had a mirror on the town side (night-talking with the masons, roleblocking with ribwich, and night-killing with the vigilante). That said, I was very relieved that ribwich died on N2, because I was having nightmares of what to do if we hit endgame with smashbro/Kitoari vs. ribwich alive. Would it be a tie? A Mafia win, since Kitoari could roleblock ribwich's roleblock and kill him? I couldn't even ask anyone for advice, because it would give away the set-up.

For some reason, Mafiascum is being screwy and giving me an error message when I try to preview this, so I'll make this three posts.

**According to jason, it was an "I give up, so just for the lulz" kill.
