Rules
Inspired by a bunch of people.
>
Fundamental
1. Above all, this is a game – have fun!
2. Unless it is explicitly stated in your role PM that you can do so, do not communicate with anyone outside this thread. Even then, only communicate when your role PM states you can.
3. Do not quote any communication you have with me, the moderator of the game. Depending on the circumstance, you may be able to paraphrase things I have sent you (such as a role PM). Use common sense and if you are unsure feel free to ask me via PM.
4. I’m only human, and as such, I’m bound to make mistakes. If you believe I have made one, feel free to send through a PM and tell me what you think is wrong.
5. Be courteous to your fellow player. This is just a game, and any blatant personal attacks on another player will not be tolerated. Remember that everyone just wants to have fun!
6. Deadlines will be set every day with the formula 8 + n, where n is the number of players alive. For example, if there were 3 players alive the deadline would be in 11 days. This deadline can be extended for three days by popular request.
7.
Dark red is my colour. Try not to use it. :)
>
Voting, lynching and deadlines
8. For your vote to be counted, it must be bold, and in the form
vote: playername
. The colon is optional.
9. Although it is not necessary, it is very much appreciated if you could unvote before changing your vote. Again, unvotes must be bold to count.
10. A lynch will occur at n/2 + 1 votes, rounded down to the nearest integer, where n is the number of players currently alive. Day will end with the lynch. (Slightly amended 17/7).
11. You may vote for a ‘no lynch’ if desired. If a majority of the players in the game vote for to no lynch, the game will progress to night without a lynch. No lynching cannot be done on consecutive nights.
12. At a deadline, rule ten will still be in play. If there is not a majority, then nobody will be lynched and night will begin.
13. If a lynch occurs, then the game enters ‘twighlight’, where all alive players apart from the player who has been lynched are allowed to freely converse (but not allowed to cast any votes) until I lock the thread and post a death scene.
14. Once you are dead, you are free to make one “bah” like post, but nothing more.
>
Activity
14. Treat this game as a commitment, and try your best to stay active. If you will be unable to participate for a period longer than 3 days, please PM me or post in thread.
15. Failure to remain active throughout the game will result in your replacement with my discretion. Try to post at least once every 72 hours.
16. All nights will have a preset deadline, which can be extended at my discretion. If you have a night action, and do not send me an action within the deadline it will be assumed that you do not wish to use that action that night. If you have a role that requires you use that night action and do not send in an action, the action will be randomly decided for you. If you wish choose not to send in an action, a PM to me stating so (rather than not sending anything at all) is appreciated.
This is the townie PM, that at least one player received:

Ok, everyone is confirmed.
You know the drill, your friendly town of Pantsville has been invaded. You feel as if this has happened more times than you can remember, but the lust for a lynching keeps you from pondering that point for too long.
Lets play some m to the afia!
Deadline is in 8 + 12 days, so 20 days. Therefore, 16/7/08 @9PM GMT+10.
Deadline is in 5 days, but seeing as there's problems with Quag I'll extend it if there's a need/multiple requests. I'm also not totally sure what's happening with him, so I'm going to hold off looking for a replacement for a little while in case he's allowed back in to finish his games.
However, because I'm an awesome person and moderator, if the majority want it I'll extend it for another three days or so. Just let me know (preferably in thread) before tomorrow. Remember, if a majority of votes for a lynch isn't reached at deadline a no lynch will ensue!

I only see four requests (by my count Farkshinsoup, Yosarian2, Haschel Cedricson(?), Guzame) for a deadline extension, so at this stage deadline is in about 12 hours.
Prodding Clammy as well.

After a long day discussing which of their friends could indeed be mafia, the townspeople of Pantsville (a town of awesome - book your holiday today!) decided that something just wasn't right with their peer chenhsi.
"Strong and silent type, eh?" the local broad asked him, snuggling up beside him.
"Nah, just silent" a voice from the crowd echoed back, barely able to contain the smugness of their voice, appreciating the level of humour mantained by their genius remark.
"Well if he's not talking... he obviously has something to hide! We must string him up to die, it's the only logical plan of action." another voice of reason chimed in, completely disregarding the possibility of him being a mute.
As the votes to lynch chenhsi rolled in, it became apparent that that logic was the one they were going to follow. Then, with the drop of the metaphorical hammer onto a metaphorical foot (where said metaphorical foot represents a lynch threshold (duh!)), it was decided with a majority that their strong and.. silent and silent friend, chenhsi was going to be the one they hung today.
On the way to the gallows, he finally whimpered a soft 'go town!' to his friends and remarked that 'Of course I was town...' and indeed he was, for it was only after he was lynched (a surprisingly complicated procedure - you'd think that gallows would come with instructions or something..) that his "Loudmouths Anonymous" card fell out, proving that he was a former loudmouth and had been "clean" from the addicting act of rambling for some time now. Unfortunately for the town, it also proved that he was a valid townsperson, as it was listed as his profession, and a bad guy would never lie about that.. right?
Chenshi,
a simple townsperson
, lynched day one.
And with that..
Hoot Hoot! Night begins. Go to bed you slackers (or send me a night choice if you have one!).

After a nice, refreshing sleep you all gather to discuss the events of yesterday and the lynch candidates of today. However, you also notice two town members cannot be found.. Yossarian2 and clammy.
Quickly, you all run to their house (they, uh, lived together..) and after grabbing a quick bite to eat in the kitchen, run to the bedrom and find them dead! In bed! Not even metaphorically! What are the chances that the first two people murdered in Pantsville would share a bed together? ..Probably about the same as a game moderator that would make flavour up on the spot.
clammy,
a simple townsperson
, shot night one
Yosarian2,
a simple townsperson
, shot night one
Deadline for day 2 is 8 + 9 = 17 days so the 8th of August at 8:08PM GMT +10 (just so I can have a deadline on the 8/8/08 at 8:08! How awesome.). Here's another countdown timer for the deadline.

Ok, I'll extend the deadline a full week from when I find a replacement for goborage. I think it could be a while considering the size of the game, so sit tight I guess..

I'll wait for a bit more, but if I'm unable to find a replacement for goborage would you guys mind me mass PMing those who have died to see if there's anyone who's been following along and wouldn't mind replacing back in?
If anyone has any objections to the idea it'd probably best to PM me rather than post about it in thread.

Clammy has contacted me and said that he'd be happy to replace back in and that he's been following along so the game could ideally progress a bit further without any more delays.
Does anyone have any dramas with him replacing back in? Again, PM would probably be the best way about communicating any problems. If I don't hear anything I'll assume that it's ok and ask him to replace back in.
Cheers!

Ok, clammy replaces goborage under the name crabby so that there's minimal confusion. He said he's v/la for the weekend so I'll give you 7 days from Monday. That makes the deadline 8/9/08 @ 9PM GMT +10.

Waking up, you notice that two of your former townspeople have been murdered.
reborn537,
hider
, shot night three
Erratus Apathos,
mafia goon
, shot night three
With now only three of you left alive you all get the feeling that this could be the final lynch of your lynching hobby (it's fair to call it now that right?).
With three alive, it takes two to lynch.
Deadline is in 11 days, so the 14th of September @ GMT + 10. Countdown timer here.

The final, final vote count!
Adel
(2) - Lowell, crabby
Not voting
: Adel
Lowell and Crabby took a screaming and kicking Adel all the way to the gallows. Finally, the kicking stopped as the noose went over her head and she resigned herself to her non breathing future. "Well have fun tonight boys," she cried "I wasn't a goon so one of you must be! At least neither of you will get the satisfaction of winning now!"
As lowell and crabby walked off, hand in hand, crabby's head spun in circles. "Why on earth would she keep up that charade to the very end?" he thought to himself. "Err, lowell", he stammered, "are you mafia?"
"Nope" the reply came with a smile.
Crabby felt relieved for only a second before he realised.. "So if Adel wasn't mafia.. was she a serial killer?"
"Nope" the reply came once again with monstrous grin.
"And how do you know that for sure?"
"Just a hunch", lowell remarked before carefully taking his gun out and shooting crabby in the chest.
"Oh" the weak reply came, "my bad".
Adel,
peeping tom
, lynched day four
Crabby,
a simple townsperson
, endgamed.
Lowell,
Serial killer
, wins!
Great game guys, hope you enjoyed it as much as I did watching it. Any comments about my modding or the setup would be great so that I can further my skills next time I give it a shot! I'll try post up role PMs/night actions/comments tonight cause I've got to go right now.
Congratulations, you are a simple townsperson! How dull. During the day, you may vote and converse with the rest of the town. Unfortunately, you just don't have the stamina to do anything but go home to sleep once you're done chatting.
You win (alive or dead) when all threats to the town have been eliminated.
You’ve already confirmed simply by opening up this PM, so there’s no need to do anything further. Any questions or queries are free to be directed at me. This is the game thread, which will be opened in 24 – 48 hours (once everyone has confirmed). The game will start in day.
Good luck, and vote wisely young grasshopper.
Reborn357
You’re a hider with a broken gun! You cowardly, cowardly coward. At night time, you may PM me with a person you wish to hide with. If you are targeted by a killing role that night, you won’t die. However, if you hide with someone who is targeted by a killing role, both you and the person you hid with will meet a cruel fate.
You also have a broken gun. You’d go and get it fixed, but you’re just too damn shy to ask anyone about it, so you just carry it around everywhere you go, hoping that it’ll magically be fixed (it won’t).
During the day you may converse and vote with the rest of the town.

Farkshinsoup
You’re a gunsmith! During the night, you may PM me with the name of one player and I will tell you if he or she possesses a gun. Be aware though, not all gun owners are necessarily evil.
During the day you may converse and vote with the rest of the town.

Guazme
You’re a one bullet vigilante! You’re angry that your town seems to be changing for the worse and wish to put a stop to it – using more than just words. However, you only have one bullet so use it carefully.
Once at night during the game, you may PM the name of a player you wish kill. Once you have attempted that kill you will not be able to kill again.

Adel
You’re a peeping tom. You dirty little pervert! Once a night you may PM with the name of a person you wish to perve on and I’ll tell you if they were home or not that night. You’re quite stealthy though, so nobody will see you and your peeping ways. (You're basically a reporter with a bit different flavour.)

Lowell
You’re a serial killer! How naughty. You’re hungry for blood so every night you must PM me the name of a person you wish to kill. Failure to do so will result in me randomly choosing for you.
Once during the game at night you may choose to lock yourself in your bunker. Doing so will not let you kill anyone, but will not let anyone kill you. Once you have used this you may not use it again.
During the day you may try to blend in, converse and vote with the rest of the town.
You win when you are the last person alive, or when nothing can prevent this.

EA & CR
Along with xxx, you’re a mafia goon! Oooh, how bad boy. Every night one of you may PM me with the name of a person you wish to kill. I will assume that the person who has PMed me the kill is the one who wishes to perform it unless otherwise informed.
During the night you may communicate with your partner. I’ve set up this quicktopic board for ease of use, and would prefer if you used it for communicating, but other methods are fine too. Just let me know what you decide.

With this game I tried to give two investigative roles out that didn't really determine whether someone was scum was not. I also added two roles that were essentially millers except that they didn't really know that they were. I was originally going to have three goons and no SK but decided to swap a goon for an SK as I thought that might, in a way, strengthen the mafia by only having a one other person that theyd have any links to and an SK 'ally' that let them essentially get two NKs a night. Originally I was going to make the SK mafia NK immune but meme said that itd be overpowered so i resigned to giving him a one shot doc power.
Because of reborn's essential 'double miller' role, I think it was a great play for him to claim as early as he did and was actually something I didn't really think of. If had been investigated later in the game by either the gunsmith or peeping tom and had to claim I think that they possibly wouldn't have believed him.
I originally thought that Lowell had got really unlucky at the end as if EA had targeted Adel or crabby then Lowell would've won, and thought that the town would surely win because of Adel's result on crabby but I didn't expect that she'd think that she was in a prisoner's dilemnia so that was a bit strage. I originally was going to write a bit of flavour that alluded to reborn and EA being found dead together but then decided against it as it might've been unfair to lowell.
I think I had some more thoughts about the game but they seem to have completely escaped me for now.
Again, thanks for playing everyone. It was a breeze to mod you lot and the amount of replacements I had to make (or lack thereof) was really nice.
