Open 257 - SCIENCE!

Backup mod: CSL

Welcome to the lab! The seven of you are close to unlocking the powers of SCIENCE! But not all is well; some among you want to grab that Nobel Prize for themselves, and don't want to share the glory.......

Handy links

Day 1 Start
andrew94 lynched
Day 2 Start
drmyshottyizsik lynched
Day 3 Start

Still working on that thesis (alive):

• gandalf5166
• Crazy
• Far_Cry
  bv310

Performing experiments in the afterlife (dead):

• andrew94, vanilla townie, lynched D1
• Thor665, mason, killed N1
• drmyshottyizsik, mafia goon, lynched D2
• edmund.angles, vanilla townie, killed N2

Sample Role PMs:

Welcome to the lab. You are a townie and have no special powers other than your ability to vote. You win when all threats to the town have been eliminated.

Welcome to the lab. You are a town Mason. You and your research partner <partner> are minor celebrities in the field of SCIENCE! and as such you know each other to be innocent. You may use the wonderful power of SCIENCE! to communicate privately with your research partner via this quicktopic: <QT> You win when all threats to the town have been eliminated.

Welcome to the lab. You are a Mafia Goon, and your partner is <buddy>, a Mafia Encryptor. You may use the wonderful power of SCIENCE! to communicate privately with your partner via this quicktopic: <QT> You win when the mafia comprises 50% of the living lab employees, or when nothing can prevent the same.

Welcome to the lab. You are a Mafia Encryptor, which means you can use the wonderful power of SCIENCE! to communicate with your partner <buddy> privately by day and night via this quicktopic: <QT> You win when the mafia comprises 50% of the living lab employees, or when nothing can prevent the same.

Rules

- adapted from CSL's

1. I am Mod, thy God. I am on a power trip and my wish is your command. Failure to comply will result in bad things happening to you and your faction.
   
2. If I screw something up, please PM me unless it is something minor, in which case you can simply let me know in thread:
   @mod: you borked the votecount
   
   
3. During the day phase, you try to find out who the Mafia are, and then proceed to lynch them. Votes must be in bold or they will not be counted, like so:
   
   
   Vote: Derpaderp Derpington
   
   
   You need to unvote if you want to change your vote, like so:
   
   
   unvote
   vote: Snorpalorp Snorpington.
   
   
   
4. Lynches happen if a player receives a majority (50% +1) of the votes. If a deadline occurs before a majority is reached, then the player who has the highest vote count will be eliminated. If a tie occurs, then whoever reached the highest number at deadline first is lynched.
   
5. Quoting private communications from the mod is not allowed. Do so at risk of modkill. You may paraphrase if you like. If you are unsure if what you are about to post is acceptable, please PM me, I will gladly answer questions.
   
6. If you are dead, you are dead. Shut up, and save it for the aftergame.
   
7. Players failing to participate actively will be prodded. Failing to post in 48 hours after the prod will result in being replaced. Post or GTFO
   
8. At night, the thread will be locked. If I forget, assume it is locked, AND DO NOT POST!
   
9. All night actions are due in 48 hours. If you don’t send in a night choice, then you don’t get your action. All factions that have a QT may post in their respective QT. Everyone else, shut up about the game until Day.
   
10. I will start Day early if all actions are received, and all players with a QuickTopic have stated to me that they are ready.
    
11. Do not post your role PM. A modkill awaits you if you do.
    
12. This is a game. Enjoy it, or replace out.
    
13. The colour purple (this colour) is reserved for mod usage.
    
14. Do not edit/delete your posts.
    
15. Do not talk about ongoing games.
    
16. If you have to be gone for more than 2 days, let me know in thread like this:
    @mod: I will be VLA for 4 days while I undergo a frontal lobotomy
    
    
17. No communication outside of the thread unless your role allows it.
    
18. I of course reserve the ability to make rule changes. You will be notified in-thread if this occurs.

@mod - do we have to unvote in the precise syntax you indicate? (no colon and no name for who is being unvoted)

[Muffin]

@mod - do we have to unvote in the precise syntax you indicate? (no colon and no name for who is being unvoted)

No, you can unvote in any particular syntax you like, just as long as you unvote. I just like the unvotes to exist in some form or another so that there's a reminder to me that you had previously voted. Please and thank you

[CSL]

Yo. If Muffin goes AWOL, contact me, and we'll get things back on track.

Muffin, watch your inbox, in the meantime.
