Rules

1. Social Contract

*This is a game. I've done my best while setting it up to make it enjoyable for everyone. Fun is our first priority.

*I will do the following:
=treat this game as my MafiaScum priority
=post votecounts at least once per page whenever possible
=prod players w/o prompting
=answer questions as soon as possible

*I expect all players to do the following:
=have fun and play to win
=not make personal attacks
=stay active
=bring concerns or problems to my attention as soon as possible

2. Activity

*This game will have fixed deadlines (extensible only in extreme circumstances)

*Deadline Day 1 is 2 weeks long. Deadline days 2 and 3 is 10 days. Days 4+ will be 1 week long. In the event Deadline falls on a weekend, it will be rounded up to end at 5 pm the following Monday. Nights will be 48 hours long and will not round up to Mondays. All deadlines will expire at 5:00 PM East Coast US time.

*Players not posting for 48 hours will be prodded and must respond in the game thread within 24 hours. I will prod for inactivity twice. On the third instance of 48 hours without posts, or on failing to respond to a prod, you will be replaced.

Baltimore’s Penn Station is presently shut down due to SNOW. There’s like...15 mm on the ground so far with another 15 mm expected.



Due to the shutdown, a handful of passengers have barricaded themselves in the women’s restroom. Rioting citizens stormed the train station on rumors of a Amtrak train heading to Philadelphia for the Annual French Toast convention. Why, you ask? Because bread, milk and eggs, duh. Everyone knows bread, milk and eggs are vital to surviving a snowocaust.

The first day in the ladies room was alright. Everyone seemed to get along , each person had their own stall for sleeping and...stuff...and the stalls have these cool little boxes anchored to the floor for safekeeping of valuables, although the ladies chose to keep their stuff in their purses. Whatever. The guys thought metal valets were awesome and filled them with trinkets and shit from their pockets.

But in the morning, one of passengers was found shot in the face. It was immediately obvious why no one heard the shot...the perpetrator had the audacity to go into the storage closet in the ladies room, pilfer an industrial roll of sandp- er...toilet tissue and used it to muffle the fatal shot.

So the remaining 9 survivors swore to each other that they would not leave the room until they were certain that all bad dudes were dead by their own hands. It takes a village...

Throughout the day, Penn Station has sounded like a parade ground of rhythmic footsteps thumping down the nearby stairs to the platform below. That parade of noise undoubtedly concealed the heated goings on in the ladies room.

Voices were raised, fingers were pointed, and Sala's body was hoisted up and hung over his stall door. Neck snapped, it is apparent that Salamence was a

A night of sleeping with your cheeks on a cold toilet has left you a bit uncomfortable and with a cricks in your backs. The muffled sounds of the train station’s PA system mingle with the distant echoes of sirens external to the train station. There is a rumble from above as if the earth shakes beneath the weight of what must now be 45mm of snow.

The scene outside your bedroom stalls is another one of blood and death. The body is slumped under the row of sinks. Last night’s death appears to have been muffled by a pile of mop heads penetrated by a bullet hole. At least the mop heads can still be used to soak up the blood.

Another day of grumpy accusations in the confines of the women’s lavatory ends in another hanging death. The furious cranking of a windup emergency radio found in the supply closet allowed the briefest of news to be heard of the outside world...60mm of snow! Grocery stores have exhausted all dairy and bread products and martial law has been declared by the mayor! (The radio commenters mentioned how composed Stephanie looked...typical.)

The Star Spangled Banner sounds to be looping over the PA throughout the train station. Muffled chants heard through the vents started the day strong, but have become whimpers. “French toast for the people!” they started. Now the voices from the platform wail, “Toast”.

DarkLightA,

About 5 am, the heat stopped working. The lights dimmed soon after. Gunfire echoed in the lobby and screams echoed from the platform below.

Fortunately, the makeshift barricade was holding the chaos out of the survivors hiding place.

At first, none of the survivors were noticed to be dead. But one of them didn’t come out of their stall. Because they weren’t in the stall.

They had been shot in the storage closet and their blood was all over everything. Have fun cleaning the...cleaning supplies.

McStab,

Clearly the gunfire, screaming french toast rioters, loos of heat and impending loss of light rattled the survivors. All of them wanted out of the ladies' room but only one faction was walking out alive.

[gorckat]

It is cold. The bodies have started to rot. The fluorescent lights flicker weakly. The world outside the women’s room is quiet.

Desperation is tangible in the air as the last survivors seek each other out. Sleep has become exhausting.

One of their own is dead not by a bullet, but by the gun itself...pistol whipped in the cold, fading light.

60mm? 75mm? More? How much snow has wrought this mayhem, where rioters sack a train heading to a French Toast convention and are put down by the National Guard...that’s what happened, isn’t it?

The evil in this lavatory cannot be allowed to escape, and so it won’t...

shos immediately prepared a necktie to be the last Malakittens would ever wear...

The gnawing hunger and in PMysterious' belly was unbearable...the limited food, granola bars, candies and chewing gum had run out. PMyst wanted to go home...he didn't believe the snow had shut everything down the way it sounded. shos was so sure and confident that PMyst knew he was right.

PMyst helped shos strangle Mala.

Together they cleared the barricade and stumbled into the cold morning in Penn Station's lobby. Windows were shattered, benches overturned and bodies slumped here and there. shos knew PMyst was a liability...someone else might convince him that shos was the bad guy.

shos shot PMyst in the back of the head before making his way out into the ankle deep snow that had pushed Baltimore into the stone age.

Here is the dead talk: http://www.quicktopic.com/48/H/dFf4zDi32nj

I kept all my game stuff (rules, roles, flavor and actions) here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1o9C ... dr6Ko/edit

Feel free to browse. There was a slight edit or three to wording of role PMs to clean them up- I think the cop and the mafia had very minor changes.

[gorckat]

I'd love feedback on balance. pacman's and Battousai's reactions to my "Sane Day Cop" claim in a recent game were the original inspiration for the setup. It morphed a lot, but that game spawned this one.

Goon
1x Framer
2X Cop
JOAT (1x Doc, 1x Track)
5x Townie

In hindsight, I would probably swap the Track for something less powered. I think PMyst made a mistake firing night one. Even though a power might have gone to waste, the odds are better it'll be useful used late.

I think setup spec killed the town. This setup was, to an extent, meant to punish it. Take what you are given (cops and tracks) and run with it. The Framer is needed for balance, and he might have needed to be a mafia JOAT- something like 1x Frame and 1x Rolecop or something.

[gorckat]

I trusted Shos because I had a thought that my thoughts we're wrong. But I had no thought in speed-lynching a Townie. I was mainly hoping that was Scum instead.

You're young, so I'll allow it

Always take your time in LYLO- there is absolutely no harm in waiting for Mala to come on and vote shos and make her case.

I skimmed the game we played together and this one after you made that MD comment about being the worst player. I think you need to trust your gut more (LYLO here being excepted >.<)

I stumbled on this thread the other day and it is very good reading for better town play: http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=17617

[gorckat]

that Mala investigation was terrible indeed.

Yeah- the mistake there, I think, was trying to shoot the cop's target and ending up with two essentially confirmed townies the next day. Offing PM night 2 leave EPM and his target (or guilty) and you'd have been more even, I think.

[gorckat]

I feel so embarrassed.

Don't. If you're having fun and trying to play your best, then keep at it. Don't worry what anyone else is saying about your play skill- it will come in time.

I do think youth plays a role in it- rational conflict is rare at your age. Emotion reigns supreme. Playing with a bunch of generally older, more seasoned players makes your weakness exploitable. Guard against it- in these later game situation, look to see how people are saying things.

Like shos said- he was bombarding you with info. It was all BS. Most of the stuff he said all game was BS. He had that kind of 'woah- is this happening' and mixed it with 'i fake analayzed all this stuff'. From the outside, it's easy to see. Learn to see it in the moment and you would have obliterated him

[gorckat]

erm and yeah I was excited about winning so >_<

I know that feel...I LOVE winning as scum. My first two newbies were as scum and I think over half my games on site are as scum. I have few wins as town...mostly bitter losses.

[gorckat]

Interesting possibility of a PM/EPM scum team, but hmhm.
I didn't like Shos asking for PM's meta. I didn't like Shos hammering DLA after two people said he was innocent and especially when he kept saying lynch McStab, lynch McStab.
I still don't think CDB is town, but whatever.

If EPM, PM are infact town then the scum team is shos/CDB

I think this is the post that made me say you were playing well this game (and better than our scum game togehter) in the dead talk. Not for guessing the scum team, but for the clear shredding off shos.

[gorckat]

I just remembered that I almost flipped Sala as scum.

I didn't go back to my notes until the end of the day and was double checking the wording of the role name. I had been thinking it was Sala and CDB all day.

[gorckat]

Just a curious though I just had...in a 3-2 situation, scum self-hammering is not out of the ordinary, I think, because the next day is still LYLO...discussion can be the thing that hurts

town

scum (edited- oops).

Perhaps not allowing that chance is smarter, although it does risk getting called for distancing/avoiding the vote.

Had CDB not self-hammered, shos might have ended up tipping his hand more.


I don't think the setup spec is scummy per se, but it can be a detriment to town.

[gorckat]

Just observed that the game was finished before the original Day 1 deadline.

Not bad.
