Newbie 827 - Store Katana (Scum Win!)

[Tenchi]

Your vision was blurred but you seem to be fine. Apparently, you must have slipped on something, fell to the floor so hard that you can't even remember why you were there on the first place.

Not so distant is the label on a far wall:

Store Katana

. It seems to be a small convenience store with smaller windows and murkier lighting. Despite there are shelves full of canned goods, chips and biscuits, the store seems to be a bit unkempt with its dim lighting and dust covered floors.

"Dust. How long have I been in here?"

"Your guess is good as mine."

You walk past the shelves and see that you have quite a group: nine people all clueless as to what happened to themselves all staring at the double-padlock on the front door with a constant dripping pool of red-liquid on the floor from a ceiling crack. Suddenly, you don't want to know where that might have come from.

The nine of you must work together to solve this mystery

... why you were locked in here... who might have the answers to this puzzling situation... and who might bear the keys to the lock toward their escape. Something odd is going on and you have a feeling that the answers are closer than what you think.

BASE GAMEPLAY

0. If you don't know how to play Mafia, please use this handy flash tutorial.
1. All votes should be

bolded

and use this format:

Vote: Name

. No "unvotes" necessary as your latest vote will be the one counted.
2. If a majority is reached, then the person with the most votes will be lynched.
3. If a majority is not reached by the specified deadline, the person with the most votes will be lynched. This deadline may be extended (see below).
4. In the event of a tie with X votes when the deadline is reached, the person has the earliest Xth vote cast against them will be lynched. The vote count will always reflect this order.
5. Players may opt to not take action or to Vote: No Lynch. If a majority votes "No lynch", the day will end and the next night will begin.
6. Vote counts will be posted at the top of every page.
7. This game is meant to be played with the first post always displayed. To do that go to Profile --> Then scroll down to "Always show First Post on every Topic Page" --> Choose "Yes" --> Scroll back down and click "Submit"

SPECIAL GAMEPLAY

1. This game has strict three week deadlines.
2. This is a Semi-Open Game, which means all role PMs will open to the public but the composition of the setup will be determined at random (see below).
3. IC's have the responsibility answering Newbie Questions without bias, and without the Moderator interfering with the game (except in cases where the moderator only knows the answer, e.g. Deadlines.). IC's may lose their IC status if they fail to do so. More information in the Wiki article, How to be a Good IC.

DEADLINES AND PRODS

1. Three weeks from when a day officially begins is the minimum deadline for each day.
2.

If there is sufficient activity and requests for replacements, I will extend this deadline one week.

3. In cases where the replacement needs to integrate into the game and a deadline looms, I will extend the deadline two days .
4. Night deadlines are 72 hours from the posting of the death scene.
5. A prod will go out if the player is inactive for 72 hours or more without notifying the mod of V/LA or other issues.
6. A player will automatically be replaced if he/she has not responded to the prod and has been absent for more than five days.
7. I will prod on request.

One of these four setups have been chosen for you, based on the F11 Setup:

+ 1 Mafia Goon, 1 Mafia Roleblocker, 1 Cop, 1 Doctor, 5 Townies.
+ 1 Mafia Goon, 1 Mafia Roleblocker, 7 Townies.
+ 2 Mafia Goons, 1 Cop, 6 Townies.
+ 2 Mafia Goons, 1 Doctor, 6 Townies.

You are

Mafia

, along with your partner _________. Your goal is to eliminate the pro-town players so that only you remain; you win if this happens. During the Day, try to blend in with the rest of the players, and get someone lynched (if that someone is not your partner or yourself, that will make things much easier). You may talk with your partner when it is not Day in a quicktopic provided (http://www.quicktopic.com/XXXXX), and send me a choice via PM of who you wish to kill.

Note: You may talk with your partner privately during confirmations to plan strategy, but no kills will happen until Night One.

Confirm in game thread.

You have a special Ability. You can PM me a name of a player, every night, to Roleblock. If you choose the Cop or the Doctor, their powers will be nullified. You will not be informed if a block was successful. If your partner gets killed, you may send a Nightkill along with your roleblock choice.

Note: You may talk with your partner privately during confirmations to plan strategy, but no kills will happen until Night One.

You are the

Doctor

, and you can protect people from harm. Each Night, you may send me a choice via PM of who to protect; if they come under attack by the Mafia, they will live. You win if the scum are eliminated, so choose wisely at Night, and try to lynch correctly during the Day.

Note: Doctors are 100% effective in Newbie Games (the person they protect will never die on the night they are protected). You may not protect yourself.

You are the

Cop

, and you can tell good from bad. Each Night, you may send a player's name to me; I will let you know if your investigation shows that they are Mafia or Town. You win if the scum are eliminated, so choose wisely at Night, and lynch well during the Day.

Note: Cops always get a correct result in Newbie Games (no sanity issues). You cannot investigate yourself.

You are a

Townie

, and you've got no special powers at Night. No investigations, no protection, no gun to shoot people. Your only powers are the ability to post, vote, and think. Help lynch Mafia during the Day, and you will win the game, along with the rest of the Town.

Role PMs sent out. Confirm in thread.

[Tenchi]

Oh, and Tenchi, we meet again. I've got my eye on you.

(I AM NOT SCUM I SWEAR.)

It is a pleasure seeing you again JVW. Julien as you have noticed, will be your IC for this game and he will be helping you with all your basic game needs here in Mafiascum.

[Tenchi]

XScorpion

replaces Volume.

Apparently Volume was already signed up for another game so he had to give up his spot.

[Tenchi]

I will officially open the game (votes, etc.) in 12 hours. Other than that, if s3r9i032123 does not pick up his role PM in 36 more hours, he will be replaced.

[Tenchi]

From what you know, some of the people here might have been awake before you regained consciousness. Maybe some of them have answers...

Time to ask questions.

IT IS NOW

DAY ONE

With 9 alive, it takes 5 to lynch.

DEADLINE: September 7, 2009 12:01 PM PST

@mod: Since I've only got a few posts on this account would it bother you if I made a new one and just continued on with the game? I don't want the fact that I was too lazy to think of a name after my normal two were taken to get in the way of scum hunting.

Please send a PM using your S2 account on what your new username will be.

Make to sure you inform other moderators (game moderators or list moderators) that are involved of this change as well.

[Tenchi]

Mod, how do you decide who gets what role? Random.org, or another method you choose?

Random. Maybe it depends on the color of your hair...

[Tenchi]

I have asked

n107yuh

to replace for s3r9i032123. (A confirmation replacement)

Also,

Messiah

replaces S23181208. (Though they are the same person, I will treat it as a Day One replacement.)

[Tenchi]

@MOD: Please replace me in this game.

On it.

Also, prod check on Friday/Saturday.

[Tenchi]

Excedrin

replaces Sarcyn immediately.

Good luck, Excedrin.

[Tenchi]

n107yuh and Wysp

have been prodded.

[Tenchi]

not sure how to bold my text, my computer is pretty weird like that. Anyway..... Vote: Wysp

Or type the following format out:

Code: Select all

 [b] Vote: EvilScumScum [/b] 

[Tenchi]

@Excedrin: I see you asked Wysp how he feels about n107yuh's post but you haven't said a single thing about it yet. What do you think?

@mod: Prods on NAW and n107yuh please.

NOTED.

NewAgeWarrior

and

n107yuh

have been prodded.

[Tenchi]

You are not sure, and you try to ask questions... for you know in your gut that there is something to this place, the people around here and to what is happening. Some claim to have been locked in there for days, others say that they feel assaulted recently and that they could be in there for hours.

You are just not sure who to believe... and time is running out.

[Tenchi]

From this point on

adamrights

replaces n107yuh. Thanks, Adam!

You notice it was getting dark... and with the flickering fluorescent bulbs that has been disrupting your investigations, you seriously doubt that you will have the chance to continue your investigations during the night. You have to get your answers soon, from somebody. Anybody.

You may be getting somewhere with what you are doing, and you just know that you just have to press on... and hope that you are right.

DEADLINE OF NIGHT ACTIONS: September 10, 2009 12:30 PM PST

[Tenchi]

Time to call it a night. The extremely dim environment is not helping the discussion. Being stuck between aisles of dusty and expired goods while deprived of nutrition for 24 hours has taken its toll on the group, and the people yo have been stuck with seem angry, confrontational... or they lay back or give up. Utterly hopeless.

Maybe it would be different tomorrow.













With an empty stomach, you go find a spot near the Pasta aisle while fluffing the sets toilet paper to serve as a cushion... Maybe a good night's sleep would change things... Except there were two things you didn't expect to change.

You find

XScorpion

, with a knife on his chest. He must have lost his mind after remembering his last words from yesterday:

"F*ck off idiots. I don't know anything about this sh*t."

Next to him lay somebody, face down, bathing in the mixture of detergent and blood. You turn the body up...

You find

Deadline for Night Two actions: October 4, 2009 9:00PM PST

[Tenchi]

It was a long day yesterday, and everybody was still sleepy, hungry and seemingly 'pissy'. Your dusty surroundings doesn't seem to help either. Everybody seems to be coughing from the cluttered surroundings and the two carcasses that lay in the corner. You seem to be nowhere near the answer... and you worry that you could be next.

It just seems quieter than before. Nobody has passed the small windows of the store for ages... except the rays of the six o' clock sun that peek briefly to wake you and your companions up to mark the start of a new day.

Except for one person.

Messiah

(

Townie

) lay next to Purple Princess... immobile, mouth and eyes wide open out of fear and disgust. Seems he was the victim last night.

Messiah

Congratulations...

julienvonwolfe (Mafia Scum) and Wysp (Mafia Scum)!

you both have won Newbie 827!

julienvonwolfe and Wysp use the keys they had an move on to an uncharted chamber in the store. Together, they drag all the bodies through the musky passage to serve them in a forever unknown purpose.

Nobody has solved the mystery of Store Katana...

NIGHT ONE

Excedrin protects Juilienvonwolfe
Julienvonwolfe stabs Excedrin

NIGHT TWO

Wysp stabs Messiah

[Tenchi]

For everyone, try to read Wysp's posts in isolation. It is funny now that you know that he is scum. Wysp has been obvscum for the early part of the game, and everybody just wrote him off as a nervous newbie. They didn't know that he was a nervous, newbie scum! Early on, Wysp was very defensive and was very sensitive to his lynch. He also lacked the early questioning abilities and curiosity of who is scum. Wysp only started questioning other player's actions by his 30th post.

Also, note Wysp's lack of frustration when nobody believed his Cop claim, despite strong proof against NAW. In his later posts, he was more confident rather than scared of being in a LyLo situation.

I was waiting for somebody to do a PBPA of Wysp and nobody did it.

[Tenchi]

Also, it was a pleasure hosting you all and thank you for replacing in and keeping this game as active as you can. Learn from this game and I wish you all luck in your future games!
