Open 123 - Vengeful Mafia - Game Over! before 752

Open 123 - Vengeful Mafia


It is a bright and sunny day. The sky is a clear, cloudless blue, a crisp breeze blows, and birds trill in the treetops.

Unfortunately, nice weather doesn’t seem to preclude dark times, because two evil Mafia members seem to have hidden themselves among your numbers, and you can’t even tell friend from foe. Stupid sunglasses. But what can be done? You can’t let the Mafia ruin your beautiful day, after all. Lynch mob in the park? Sounds great. But wait – what if things go wrong? Well, your old laser still has a little juice. If you end up on the wrong end of anything violent, at least you can try to take one of the baddies down with you.

All right! Showdown by the pretty little duck pond, everyone!

How did that song go again?

“It’s a brand new day
And the sun is high
All the birds are singing
That you’re gonna die . . .”

Pretty good song, that.


There are Mafia. There are Townies. There will be dead body mess. You know the drill.

Still frolicking in the park

1. Empking [replacing afatchic], Townie, Survived (Won)
2. Artem, Townie, Survived (Won)
4. populartajo, Townie, Survived (Won)



Squirrels nibbling at their entrails

3. Crazy, Mafia Godfather, Lynched to Death Day 1 (Lost)
5. Juls [replacing Slicey], Mafia Goon, Simultaneously Combusted to Death Day 1 (Lost)


Game Over, Flawless Town Win, Good Game All! Important Links Below:


Juls replaces Slicey.

Empking replaces afatchic.

Artem hammers Crazy.

Lynch scene, body cleanup, endgame.

Vengeful Mafia
is the wiki article on this Open setup. I highly recommend you read it. Very highly!

Roles


Three players receive the following PM:


You are a Townie. You’re on the side of truth, justice, and baby panda bears. Awesome, huh?

You’re equipped with your wits, nice sunglasses (style points only) and a laser gun. If you are lynched Day One, you must choose a player to kill by posting
Kill: Playername
in the thread (you may not post anything else). You win when all Mafia-aligned players are dead and at least one Town-aligned player remains alive.

Confirm in the thread here, please.


One player receives the following PM:


You are a Mafia Goon. You’re on the side of death, despair, and Bluehost.
[Playername]
is your Godfather. And you two are badass.

You’re equipped with cool evil sunglasses. You lose immediately if your Godfather is ever lynched. You win when Mafia-aligned players outnumber Town-aligned players or nothing can prevent the same. You may converse at any time with your partner in crime
[here]
.

Confirm in the thread here, please.

RULES


Game Rules use cicero rules as a base but are amended (and in some cases reversed!).

[01]
VOTING METHOD
: Votes must be in bold. example:
Vote: Cicero
If you do not bold your vote, it will not be counted. Please be attentive and
Unvote
, if necessary, before casting a new vote. This is not required, but I’d appreciate it.

[02]
LYNCH
: Lynching will require a simple majority of votes. Once a player has reached the necessary majority, any attempts to unvote will be useless, I tell you!

[03]
NO LYNCH
: You can't. This game is Nightless. Get over it.

[04]
DEADLINE:
I may institute one if discussion starts to lag badly.

[05]
DEADLINE LYNCH RULES:
Don't make me break them out. For now, assume that the player with the most votes at deadline will be lynched. This subject to change, as deadline enforcement will be unusual anyway, as, again, this game is Nightless.

[06]
RULE SIX
: Got bleached by the sun. Whoops.

[07]
LURKING AND NOT POSTING
: Lurking is not an acceptable strategy in this game. Anyone who goes more than 72 hours without posting, without advance warning, will be prodded. If the prodded player does not post within 48 hours of the prod being sent, I will search for a replacement.

[08]
OUT OF THREAD COMMUNICATION
: The game is not to be discussed outside the thread unless your role specifically states that you may do so – and then only in the manner stated in your role PM. Don’t quote any out-of-thread communications regarding this game in the thread.

[09]
BAH POSTS ARE NOT ALLOWED
: Aside from a vengeful kill, please do not post after death. Twilight posting by any and all players, however, is fine.

[10]
TOO CLEVER BY HALF RULE
: No small or hidden text or obscure codes. Don’t edit/delete previously submitted posts either.

[11]
VACATION? LIMITED ACCESS?
If you anticipate being unavailable for more than a 48-hour period, please post a notice to that effect
in this game thread and/or by PM. I recommend doing both.
Treat this game as a commitment. Be considerate – don’t leave us hanging.

[12]
FALLIBILITY CLAUSE:
Unlike other mods I am fallible. Please point out any mistakes I make gently. In particular, if I post a vote count that does not accurately reflect your vote, it is your responsibility to correct me -- otherwise your vote may be treated as it appears in the vote count.

[13]
QUESTIONS
: If you have any questions at all, please PM me or post the question in the thread.

[14]
FUN
: Remember, it’s a game and it’s supposed to be fun. Be nice to your fellow players and your mod. I have very low tolerance for abusive posts.

[15]
I've reserved this color for any purposes I might choose. Don't use it, please.


[16]
MODKILLING
I reserve the right to modkill you for breaking any of the above rules or not, as I choose. I also reserve the right to modkill you for breaking any site rules or for anything I deem deserves a modkill; I'll be reasonable, but if you think something may be questionable, please ask me by PM first. If you are modkilled, you lose automatically, even if your original win condition is eventually reached.

Roles out! Confirm in thread!

I myself am going to have slightly limited access early this week. Don't expect to see much of me from Monday evening to Tuesday evening. I'll think about afatchic's V/LA and options and hopefully come to the conclusions about what's best for the game as a whole.

Also, I feel like I want to replace populartajo due to his continued lack of posting. Will take a look at how many hours it's been, etc., and hopefully have an update on that front soon, too.

He said his V/LA would run from Monday through Friday (today) of this week. Hence I'm not prodding him at this point.

New note: I've been considering changing my avatar, mostly for extra ease in a game I'm joining. However, for the ease and enjoyment of the players in
this
game I'd planned on avoiding changing my avatar while the game runs. If changing my avatar will inconvenience or annoy you in any way
please
give me a shout-out. If anyone minds at all, I won't. Thanks guys.

It was an extremely beautiful day at the park, notwithstanding the ugly moods that erupted. You argued, you chased people over jungle gyms built for more innocent, younger sorts of people. Someone stole a box of crackers from a kid, another swiped a juice box from a little blonde toddler, and pretty soon everything was absolute chaos. The intense sunlight didn't let up, and though you'd tussled in the swampy ground by the Weeping Willow trees, everyone hot, sticky, and angrily arguing about who was the real threat you needed to hang with a jumprope.

All things considered, these were just the manners I expected - even hoped for - from you guys.

So I sat the five of you down to a picnic. Tajo had showed up again. Juls had tag-teamed in for Slicey and Empking wandered in around 11:30 to make up for afatchic's absence. Artem and Crazy had stayed in the park like two loyal little beagles.

I spread out a red-and-white-checked picnic cloth. It was twelve noon and the sun was burning yellow directly above. "Under no circumstances," I said, "should anyone take off his (or her, Juls) sunglasses. It would be very dangerous."

"But don't we want to put the backstabbers among us in danger?!" Tajo burst out, to the rabblesome agreement of the rest of you.

"Now, let's just try to be friends briefly while we eat lunch," I said. "I've made - "

But Juls had picked up a plastic fork, Empking had grabbed hold of the picnic basket, and Crazy had snatched a large wooden serving spoon and before I could even tell you about my couscous salad and garlic bread and melon soup and chicken sandwiches and blueberry pie and lemonade and everything else you were at each others' throats.

"No!" I screamed! "Not my tangerine sorbet! No bloodshed during my picnic!" But no one heard me.

"Crazy's the scum!" Empking shouted, and as Tajo wiped raspberry vinaigrette out of his eyes, he too took up the cry, as well as my good bread knife.

"Crazy must be lynched!"

"What?!"

"Yes!"

"No!

"Maybe!"

"I can't tell!"

"NOOOOOOO!" I shouted, looking at my poor ruined lunch and the bloodthirsty would-be picnickers as Artem joined in the fray.

I sat there watching as you chased Crazy around the park, beating him with hockey sticks, covering him in squirrel feed, and finally pushing him into the duck pond, where a few noisy geese nipped at him. He seemed to slowly, slowly sink before your eyes - and mine - until nothing could be seen of him, and the few bubbles on the pond were frm the froth of the little mechanized fountain in the middle of it. Juls, who'd not had a part in the action, let out a little gasp.

"Well?" Artem asked, turning to me, sitting in the remains of the food. "Was Crazy scum or what?!"

"He - " I began, but was stopped as everyone screamed at the sight of Crazy, blue-faced, spluttering, sunglasses still shading his eyes, pulled himself onto the bank.

"I'm not done yet!" he shouted, holding up the breadknife he'd wrested away from Tajo. For a moment everyone was silent and then someone - I'm not quite sure who - gave a shout.

"GET HIM!"

You picked up the jumprope and grabbed Crazy, tying it around his neck. Empking got behind the branch of an oak nearby and, heaving, hoisted Crazy in to the air.

Then you let go of his feet.

"ARRHGATAAAAGGRLGLLlldfll," moaned Crazy and then he was gone. A squirrel skittered up to him and began to nibble his flash where the squirrel feed had stuck.

"WELL?" Tajo asked.

I was about to answer as Crazy's sunglasses slipped off his waxy face, revealing empty, black eyes shot with red. The eyes of a killer. The eyes of one of the scum.

"High five, Tajo!" Empking shouted, but behind you heard a little moan.

"No . . ." Juls whispered brokenly. "We've failed . . ." And with that she exploded into a pile of sad-looking ash.

The rest of you - the surviving innocents, let out wild victory whoops, elated, and I smiled.

"You seem to have eradicated the threat," I said, finding the one delicious foodstuff that had been spared your havoc. "So, ice-cream all around!"

The sun continued to shine brightly on the end.



Crazy, Mafia Godfather, Lynched to Death

Juls, Mafia Goon, Simultaneously Combusted to Death


TOWN WIN! ICE-CREAM FOR ALL!

Juls, do I have your permission to post your quicktopic? I assume you don't mind because you made a comment to Artem for 'after the game' in there, but it would be nice to get explicit permission from both yourself and Crazy. Was planning to ask y'all previously, but procrastination can do ugly things.

Also, yay, I can change my avatar without worry of disturbing a game I'm modding. I'm glad you two found the modding good. This was my first modding endeavor, and everything seemed to go off fairly smoothly; I'm glad about that. Suggestions for improvement?

Real mod notes/vague, disorganized thoughts on the game coming soon to a theater near you.

Mod thoughts, since I'm under such pressure :P.

The Springboard
: afatchic. Scummy? My experience with him was only a mutual Newbie Game in which he did some newbish things and eventually got lynched as town (I was a townie too; we lost to a brilliant busser who hasn't appeared on the site since). Empking came out shooting, as per what I'd expect of him, when he replaced in. The way he weakened the perception of the tie between his predecessor and Tajo may well have lessened the pressure and affected good stuff for the town. Not to mention that first vote on Crazy - good stuff.

The Enemies
: Our Scumteam - from above, some mistakes which didn't do you any favors: Crazy really resisted putting his vote on anyone - unlike most of the rest of the players, his vote wasn't on a player at all for a fair amount of the later game. . Furthermore, though I don't know how great the effect here was, your votes occasionally bunched up. Crazy wasn't a major suspect for much of the game, so it was almost surprising how fast strong opposition came on.

This doesn't mean I'm completely neutral... but this is a tough decision that needs to be elaborated more


Lack of strong stance here might have been a factor in the loss. As might this:

85% - afatchic/Empking
51% - tajo
40% - Crazy
1% - Artem
0% - Juls
A meatworld friend and former scummer looked at that and gaped :P. That buddying might have been just a little too blatant. Crazy seemed to be a little shocked/not too pleased himself. Perhaps you could have made more advantageous use of the quicktopic thread?
Crazy wrote:What's the case on me, anyway, especially as for being a GF? Everyone here is suspicious of me and the first thing you think of is GF?!!! Why doesn't "goon" come to your mind first, if I'm scum at all?
This reaction might have been the nail in your coffin, Crazy (and Juls), not to mention the sorta sudden push on Empking by Crazy, especially considering . . .

The Wildcard
: Artem. I could tell that you're a skilled player, but Juls' extremely strong buddying seemed to work on you for much of the game. You suspected Tajo for a while . . . and believed Juls to be almost certain town, if I remember correctly. I was always wondering, sort of hoping you would break free of the buddying. Especially towards the end of the game, as I saw stuff start to go Town's way, I strongly believed that you working past that mentality would be the last straw. I was right, as it turned out. That quote I noted above - that sort of buddying was so strong I waited for you to see through it, which you did at just the opportune moment.

The Savior
: So I exaggerate. A above, the whole town contributed to the win. Tajo, though - I'd have to say you were the linchpin. After you stopped having unannounced V/LA periods - I believe I once said I felt like replacing you for inactivity - whatever the reason for them, once you had the chance to buckle down I could tel you were on track to catch the scum, and, with few detours, you kept right on that track.

From the first extensive post after you spotty absence. But catching Crazy as the Godfather was another huge contribution.
populartajo wrote:Yeah, if Artem is scum he deserves to win.
Just decided something.
Juls, if scum, isnt prob the GF. The same for afatchic.
Since I think both Artem and afatchic are town then Crazy has to be scum in that possible scenario. And he has more probs of being GF than Juls.
Just you all know, my pair is Crazy-Juls, Crazy GF.
Unvote Vote : Crazy.
You both found them
and
managed to convince Artem and pin down Artem as town nicely. Good play all around, but in my mind you're the MVP.

Scum, I think I have some praise reserved for you as well, but I'm pressed for time. Crazy, posting the quicktopic is okay by you [/chronic nervousness]?

Come on, everyone, lighten up. Empking and Tajo: both contributed and, yes, both made some mistakes. You both won. Be happy now?

QT thread! Sorry for the delay, but I didn't see explicit permission from Crazy until today in school, where the scizo filter doesn't let me access random things - including my inbox, which was the main storage facility for the link :oops:.
