This first post will always contain information critical to the game, with the most recent vote count being displayed here (as well as within the thread), deadline information and player list. A great feature of this forum lets you display the first post in a thread as the first post on every page of your thread. This will be very useful in the game, however it’s not 100% needed. If you want to use this feature go to your profile, scroll down to the preferences section and select yes for ‘Always show First Post on every Topic Page’.

Portland, Oregon, like all large cities, has a character of its own. The jewel of the Pacific Northwest has long been regarded as a friendly place; a town with great parks, environmentally-conscious citizens, and a thriving cultural center.

However, like all large cities, there is also a dark side to Portland that residents don't like to talk about. Despite the friendly face, Portland has a dark past that it would like to forget.

Unfortunately for the town, trouble is brewing in the Rose City. As organized crime spreads down from Seattle, danger is becoming more prevalent.

Somebody ought to do something about it.

That somebody is you.

Here are the rules, partially "liberated" from Awesome Pants:


> Fundamental

1. Enjoy yourself.
2. No one can talk to any other player about the game, unless your role allows it, and then only when you role allows it. If I find out you break this rule, modkill.
3. No quoting mod PMs. Doing so results in a modkill.
4. If I botch something, let me know and I will fix it.
5. No jackassery. If you have to ask yourself if something counts as jackassery or not, the answer is probably "Yes".
6. Days will last a minimum of 3n+x days, where n is the number of players left alive. I will not tell you what x is, and x may change day to day. If x is reached, then I WILL END THE DAY WITH A NO-LYNCH! The simplest way to avoid a no-lynch is to handle everything within 3n days.
7. No quoting mod PMs. Seriously, don't do it.
8.
Red Text
and
Blue Text
are reserved for me. You can use other colors, if you want.

> Voting, lynching and deadlines

9. For your vote to be counted, it must be bold, and in the form
vote: playername
. The colon is optional.
10. You MUST unvote before changing your vote. Again, unvotes must be bold to count.
11. 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.
12. 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.
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

15. 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.
16. Failure to remain active throughout the game will result in your replacement with my discretion. Try to post at least once every 72 hours.
17. 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.

> Other

18. Here is the Townie PM, which at least one player recieved:
You are a
Townie
. You have no powers, but you DO get a vote. Use it wisely.

You win when all threats to the town are dead.

I am limited to dial-up Internet for the next 24 hours or so. I know I'm behind on the vote count, but it seriously took me 10 minutes just to get to this site and log in, so I'll do the VC tomorrow.

I haven't abandoned you all, though.

TSPN hasn't picked up his prod, but since I know him in real life I may try some alternate prodding techniques.

Okay, it's late (or rather, really early), so I won't have a vote count until tomorrow morning. I plan to seek replacements for TSPN and Y.C. As such, I'm extending the deadline for an additional week before x starts.

I'm very sorry about all of this. If you know anybody who wants to play, feel free to recruit.

The day is almost over. All of you head on over to Pioneer Courthouse Square, commonly referred to as "the Living Room of Portland".

Image

Every day brings new sights to the Square. What's going on today? Is there a festival going on? A tuba concert? A Christmas Tree lighting?

No. Today you have gone to Pioneer Courthouse Square to see a hanging.

Mr_Adams has been lynched. He was a
vanilla townie
.

It is now Night 1. Send in those night actions.

Once again the gallows are set up in Pioneer Courthouse Square. Xtoxm is extra-polite and helps the town place the noose around his neck.

Unfortunately, he was a
vanilla townie
.

It is now Night 2! Send in your night actions. To prevent any wacky metagaming, night will last until I have found a replacement for ZazieR!

Sorry for reusing a lynch scene, particularly one named "MrAdams.png. The computer I'm on does not have MSPaint or a mouse, and fuck drawing with the touchpad.

At 536 feet tall, the US Bancorp Tower is the second-tallest building in Portland and the largest office building in terms of volume in the entire state.

It's the sort of tower that it would hurt to be thrown off of. Unfortunately, it looks like that's exactly what happened to one of you last night.

G-Force,
Town Cop
has been killed.


There are 8 people left, so it take five to lynch.

Deadline is January 8 +x

afatchic replaces ZazieR, effective immediately.

Sorry, but I've been busy lately and power has been intermittent, so I haven't had a chance to make a vote count. I'll do it first thing after I get home from my grandparent's tomorrow.

Another day ends, and it's time for another lynch. This all looks so familiar...

Except this time, the town got it right!
Riceballtail, Mafia Godfather

Get those night actions in. It looks like chazworthington will need to be replaced.

Xtoxm has offered to replace chazworthington, who appears to have vanished. I know having a player rereplace into a game is less than idea, so if any of you have objections to this course of action, please send me a PM.

I received enough objections to Xtoxm replacing that I will not be doing that. I didn't find a replacement for chaz yet, but I know the rest of you are getting bored, so I'm going to start the day. I won't calculate the deadline until I find a replacement.

Sorry for being such a crappy mod at this whole replacement thing.

The Rose Garden is the largest arena in Portland, and is the home court of the Portland Trail Blazers. The Blazers are the only major professional team in the state of Oregon, at least in terms of the Big Four sports of basketball, baseball, football, and hockey. Because they're the only show in town, and because of an exciting crop of young players, games at the Rose Garden have been sold out.

You'd think that no killer would strike in such a crowded environment, but you'd be wrong. As it turns out, the chaos in a large crowd provided perfect cover for a killer.

After Portland beat the Milwaukee bucks last night, a corpse was found in section 317. Looks like the citizens of Portland don't have time to celebrate.

afatchic,
Town Cop
, has been killed!


Six alive, four to lynch.

Vote Count as of day's end:

(1)Knight of Cydonia: bionicchop2, X, Farkshinsoup, icemanE

Not Voting: Knight of Cydonia, Casey,
4 votes to lynch.


Knight of Cydonia is quickly strung up and lynched. Hopefully he was a member of the Mafia...

Before you can check to see what KoC's alignment was, a shot rings out. Bionicchop2 falls to the floor dead. Farkshinsoup reveals a small pistol that he's been concealing for the entire game...

"Help us, IcemanE!" X cries. "Fark is definately Mafia! Arrest him!"

"I'd love to," Ice replies, "but I'm not that kind of cop."

"Trembling with fear, Casey asks, "What do you mean you're not that kind of cop?"

Iceman pulls out a gun. "As it turns out, I'm not actually a cop at all..."

Knight of Cydonia,
Vanilla Townie
has been lynched!
The Mafia (
Riceballtail, IcemanE, and Farkshinsoup
) win!


I'm not at my normal computer, so role PMs, night actions, and Mod Thoughts will be posted later tonight.

In the meantime, I know you want to know the sanities, so I'll tell you afatchic was sane, the other cops were both naive.

Congrats to the winners, a thank you for all of you who replaced in, and another thank you for those of you who didn't replace out.

Apparently framing trumps sanities.

This game should be a strong lesson about following cops. Ice being a framer also tells us more about why he was concerned about who is investigating who.
That is correct.

The primary motivation behind this setup was that I recently played a ton of live-action games in a row that devolved into follow-the-cop. I know that the town appeared underpowered, but I knew that the Mafia would have a vested interest in steering the cop investigations, and I wanted to see how subtle they could pull that off. I honestly thought that iceman's "Let's all investigate the miller" ploy would draw more attention; especially after his fakeclaim did NOT include an investigation on X.

So, yes, the town had less firepower, but scum had to work extra hard to stay hidden.
xtoxm wrote:I highly doubt we have 2 cops, but I have seen one instance of it.

Upon joining this game, I was assured it is a Normal game, which means any cop present will be sane.
Xtoxm wrote:No, it doesn't. There being 2 cops is an outside chance, though it's looking likely now, 3 cops even less so. Town having 2 cops is already very powerful duo, even if there's a miller and a GF. Unless the mod makes it clear that there can be varying sanities in this game, i'm not willing to consider there's any possibility of 3 cops. Even then, I doubt it.
I felt really bad when I read these posts, and I apologize to Xtoxm for misconceptions when I recruited him into this game. Nevertheless, I think there is a difference between Normal and normal. "Normal", which is what this game was, only has to meet the definitions posted in the wiki. There's a tacit understanding that things won't get TOO crazy, like Tarhalindur's Mind Screw games, but a "Normal" game does not have to be "normal". Our expectations of what a "normal" game are made up of the current meta of setups. Games that variate from the meta may not be what players expect by default, but at the same time, players shouldn't expect that things will ALWAYS be the same. Every one of us has a different idea of what "normal" is, so in most games SOMEBODY will be surprised.

Anyhoo, there were a ton of things that surprised me about how this game turned out. I did not expect X to claim on page 1, and I did not expect all three cops to claim on Day 1. After iceman failed in his let's-all-check-the-miller plan, he managed to frame Xtoxm - and all three cops investigated Xtoxm.

The Mafia actually tried to frame RBT, which would have thrown another wrinkle into the game. I purposely made it so that the framer could only target town, but I did that because I didn't want them "framing" fark to show up as innocent. Ironically enough, they wanted to frame the one guy I didn't expect them to want to frame.

Again, I want to thank all of you for dealing with the replacement situation. I know things weren't always smooth, but I had a lot of fun modding this game, and I hope you enjoyed playing it.

Night 1:
IcemanE frames Xtoxm
ZazieR investigates Xtoxm (Guilty)
q21 investigates Xtoxm (Guilty)
G-Force investigates Xtoxm (Guilty)
Farkshinsoup kills q21 (Dead)

Night 2:
Iceman attempts to frame RBT. When told this is not allowed, no secondary choice is submitted.
afatchic investigates RBT (Innocent)
Farkshinsoup kills G-Force (Dead)
G-Force takes forever to send in a night action, and eventually since I know he's going to die anyway I end the night.

Night 3:
afatchic investigates Knight of Cydonia (Innocent)
farkshinsoup kills afatchic (Dead)
IcemanE frames chazworthington
