The Setup


Four players have received the following PM:
Vanilla Townie PM wrote:You are a
Vanilla Townie
. You have no special powers, so it's no wonder you are single. Your only hope for finding the mafia is your mind and your vote. You win when all threats to the town have been eliminated.

Please confirm in thread: XXXX
Two players have received the following PM:
Mafia Lover PM wrote: You are a
Mafia Lover
along with XXXX. You're the snobby kind of couple that cannot stand to see anyone else happy. You win when all threats to your eternal love are eliminated or nothing can prevent otherwise. Because you are so madly in love with XXXX, if one of you dies the other will commit suicide. Because this is a nightless game, you do not have a kill, but you make speak to your partner at any time during the game here: XXXX

Please confirm in thread: XXXX

The Rules


General Rules


1) Days will have a preset deadline of three (3) weeks from the beginning of the present day. Under extraneous circumstances this may be open to extension, but it is unlikely and I would not count on it happening.

2) All votes and unvotes must be done in bold to count. An example would be:
Unvote, Vote: VP Baltar
.
You may also
Vote: No Lynch
if you please.
Unvotes are required before you will be allowed to move your vote to another player.

3) A lynch will be reached when a majority of players (one-half of the living players plus one) vote for a specific player.

4) If a deadline is reached and a majority has not been achieved, the person with the most votes will be lynched. If two or more persons have an equal number of votes at that time, the player who reached that total first will be lynched.

5) This is a nightless game, and will therefore be continuous until it is completed.

6) This is a game, so have fun and play to win. However, if I feel you are making unnecessary personal attacks and/or derogatory statements on any basis I deem inappropriate against another player, I reserve the right to replace and/or modkill you at my discretion. Use common sense so I don’t have to get medieval on you.

7) Any and all requests or questions to the mod must be made in
bold
if you want to be certain you will receive a reply. PMs are also an acceptable format for queries.

8) Any and all flavor used in this game is present solely for the purpose of entertainment and does not give insight in any way into the setup of this game or alignment of any player.

Activity Rules


9) You must post in this thread every 72 hours or you will be prodded with extreme prejudice. If you do not respond to a prod within 24 hours you may be replaced.

10) If you are prodded more than three times during this game you may be replaced.

11) If someone has not been active for 72 hours and I have not posted in the thread s/he will be prodded, feel free to give me a friendly reminder in bold to get out the prod stick.

12) If you are going to be away from the thread for more than 72 hours, please make it known with a bolded V/LA post or a PM to the mod. Failure to do so may result in prodding and/or replacement.

Gameplay Rules


13) Do not delete or edit any of your posts. If I discover you are doing this, you will be modkilled. No exceptions, so don’t do it.

14) Do not use invisible, hidden, or otherwise difficult to read text in your posts. Doing so will result in you being replaced or modkilled, depending on the severity of the offense.

15) Do not quote or pretend to quote any PM to or from the mod.

16) If you have been lynched, you are dead. You are not allowed to post in the thread any more until the game is over. This includes ‘Bah!’ posts. Violation of this rule may result in repercussions against your faction.

17) Do not discuss ongoing games in this thread. Violation of this rule may result in anything from a warning to replacement and/or modkill.

18) Do not discuss this game ANYWHERE outside of this thread until it is completed, unless your role PM specifies an area that you are allowed to do so. If I find out you have been doing so, you will receive…that’s right, a modkill!

19) I will be using
this font
during this game. Do not use it.

Just as an update: Kise and rocco have yet to pick up their role PMs. They have a little over 24hrs to do so before I begin looking for replacements. Rule #2 has also been amended to fit the specifics of this game.

After countless hours of pouring over the love profiles of eDisharmoney.com you discover one that is particularly out of place. It is that of
Far_Cry
. On the surface it looks like many others: enjoys long walks on the beach, quiet moments at sunset, Patrick Swayze without his shirt on, etc. However, when you start looking closer at his profile you realize something strange.

It seems as though Far_Cry isn't looking for love at all. In his profile pictures you notice he has a folder titled
My purrty wittle kitty-poo
. You click on it and see him with a picture of an adorable little kitten. How sweet. There he is playing with the cat and a length of string. There he is scratching under the adorable little thing's chin. There he is giving it a kiss on the cheek. There he is shirtless with the cat on red satin sheets. There he is...OH DEAR GOD! MY EYES!!!!!!

You quickly contact the administrators of eDisharmony.com and they root out the inappropriate profiles. In gratitude for your obsessive monitoring of the dating site, you receive a not-so-fashionable tote bag with an enormous eDisharmony.com logo splashed across it. Now everyone will know you can't find a date! Congratulations.


Far_Cry,
Mafia Lover
, has been deleted PERMANANTLY.

le Chat,
Mafia Lover
, starves to death shortly after the demise of his owner.

Town Wins!
(by killing a kitten).

Scum quicktopic

Sorry for the delay on the closing scene. I dozed off last night a bit early.

Anyhow, I think le Chat had a tough shake with rocco early on. Far Cry did well when he first replaced, but due to RL or whatever his contributions dropped off and allowed the town to get the advantage.

Amished did a good job of driving up the town's activity, and I would say he deserves most of the credit for this win (though other people had accurate reads). Town did a good job on a whole of trusting their instincts and sticking with them. Congrats.

Yeah, Sir, one thing I have learned in this game is to trust your instincts. Sometimes you are going to be wrong, but more often than not you are right.

Amished's approach to the game seems similar to mine. If you see anything reasonably scummy, pursue it and see what it turns up. You then have to take those reactions and determine if they are more likely to have a scum or a town motivation. Again, it's not foolproof, but I think it works quite often. In a setup like this, I think it's a pretty deadly mode of attack that makes it very difficult for scum to win.

Wiki pages are an excellent resource. They take a bit of maintainence, but if you stay up with them it isn't so much work. I think it's a good thing to have your games documented and give yourself a little commentary afterward so you can learn from your experiences. In that sense, keeping track of your wins and losses is a good thing.

However, as Amished said, winning often comes down to the composition of your team (and the setup). I've lost games where I felt I should have won simply because of the setup. I've lost games because myself or my partners made some seriously stupid moves. Losing is just a part of the game however, and I think if someone obsesses about trying to have a winning record, then they are probably missing out on some of the fun of the game.
