Open 199 - Friends, Enemies, and Enemies - OVER

[Papa Zito]

Ladies and gentlemen, thank you again for volunteering for our little experiment. I hope you've enjoyed my little tour of the department, but now we've come to the part you've all been waiting for. Behind this door is where you'll be spending the next several days. And, of course, afterwards you'll get your checks and we'll all have cake. Very exciting!

Now... it's.. no... um... okay, here we go. Watch your step please, watch your step, this is a rather narrow stairway. It was built back in the '40's to serve - WOOPS there you go! - as a bomb shelter, because, well, obviously our little university was first on the Red's list, right?

Okay, let's see, we have 1.. 4.. 7... 9... 12, good, we're all here. Welcome home ladies and gentlemen, here's where the fun starts. I'm sure you're all wondering what exactly we're going to be doing. I've been circumspect on purpose, because I wanted to make sure the experiment didn't get tainted. So, um, here I have a special role for each of you on these... er... wait... yes, these index cards here. I'll just fan them out and each of you can ... haha, eager beaver eh? There you go, there you go, just one please, thank you.

Good. Now, the rules are that, while you are down here, you must act according to the profile on that card. You'll each get a bedchamber .. they're down that hallway, there... to spend the night. Every day you gather here, and follow the instructions on the card. There's a couple of bathrooms at the end of that hall, and the kitchen here is well stocked for all of us for the next several days.

Now, one last detail. I've asked that we not be disturbed under any circumstances during the experiment, as that could really affect things. So from this point on we're on our own down here. My assistant and I will be keeping out of sight as much as possible. Over the next couple days, please do what feels natural.

Okay, with that I'll let you all get settled in your rooms. Come Candi, let's go get erm ready for the experiment.

Since we didn't have enough rooms down here, you'll have to share with PLAYER Y, your partner in crime. So sorry for the inconvenience, but feel free to talk to each other at night.

The next morning the group is woken by alarm clocks promptly at 7am. Oddly enough, though, it's only the 12 that wake. After shuffling about for a while someone finally makes their way over to the professor's room, only to make a horrifying discovery.

Seems people are taking their cards a little too literally.

It didn't take long for the shock to wear off and the 12 to begin accusing one another. They went back and forth, pointing fingers almost at random, looking for any small sign of the killers in their midst.

A couple of people had managed to sleep through their alarms, but now all had gathered. The accusations flew fast and furious. Their angry shouts reverberated about the concrete walls, clashing and echoing in an ever-growing crescendo.

After the initial burst of outrage, shock began to set in and the discussions become somewhat less animated. Someone seemed to remember breakfast, and soon the smell of cooking sausage filled the air. Pancakes soon followed, and everyone settled back down to think this thing out, until someone else mentioned that, wait, this stuff could be poisoned. And that was that for breakfast.

And just like that, the one code-named Flareonage was in the spotlight. A steady drip-drip-drip from the kitchen, which had hovered just on the outside of the group's consciousness since the ordeal began, seemed to grow louder, echoing the hammering heartbeats of each of the twelve. Flareonage had been pushed to the precipice, but would he be the first to fall?

And then the final vote was cast. The final accusatory finger pointed. An awkward silence followed.

"So... now what?"

With the decision made, suddenly the realization of what they were about to do really dawned on them. A few got up and started wandering the area, a few stared at Flareonage, a few stared at the floor. Finally, one came back with coil of cable found in an old supply closet. The snap of a neck was heard a short time later.

The alarms startle everyone awake, and they rush back to the common area in some confusion. A quick headcount is take, and the thin hope that the bad guys would take the hint from yesterday quickly fades. It seems this thing is going to have to be seen until the bitter end.

[Papa Zito]

The jock, holding an entire bunch of bananas in one hand (because "how the hell do you poison a banana anyway?"), stared at the floor.

"I was right. I was right. I was right."

Drip-drip-drip went the kitchen faucet, perfectly synchronized.

Then he jabbed a meaty finger at one who had been quiet thus far, and danankillsu pointed at someone else, and it was game on again.

The oppression of their concrete prison is obviously starting to get to them, because suddenly the discussion shifts away from important things like, say, who's trying to kill them, and into a BFF roundtable. Once math is brought out (prompting the jock to fall asleep) things really start to get strange.

In the midst of all this, suddenly there are a crucial number of fingers pointing at CryMeARiver.

Once the math died down, the group somewhat divided into two groups: one a more bloodthirsty set, who shouted that someone needed to die (and soon!), and another that wanted to discuss things from a strategic perspective.

Meanwhile, lunch had come and gone unnoticed. Several feet of earth and concrete above them, the sun was beginning to set on a campus completely unaware of the proceedings below.

It was a very long day. Even without the benefit of the sun, the exhaustion of another day spent throwing and defending from accusations, of scrutinizing every last detail of every last word, finally set in. Almost in relief, five of the remaining survivors pointed to CryMeARiver.

The pleas and entreaties went unnoticed by the rest. The cable, laying like a coiled viper on the concrete table, was put to use again. Another dead scum was their reward.

Things got off to a much slower start that third day. The realization that they had gone from 12 to just five in two days weighed heavily on all of them. Despite their record of success, the remaining Good Guys knew that they still had a pair of killers among them, and a wrong move here would be disastrous.

cdubs has been prodded, as requested.

[Papa Zito]

@MOD: Is it possible to get a prod on cdubs? I looked over the rules, but it wasn't clear to me whether prods are done in BaM games. Probably not, but I figured I'd give it a shot.

I have no issue with doing prods on request.

Mod: Am I correct in that a 1/1/1 situation at night can lead to a town win, using my crossfire example?

If the game enters a 1/1/1 state during the night, and the two mafia factions target each other, then the next day will start at 1/0/0, which fulfills the town win condition.

The town wincon is a little weird because of flavor, sorry about that. It's based on numbers, not voting. Sans flavor, the town wincon is:

The town wins when the mafia and werewolf factions have been removed from the game, and at least one town member remains.

Also, if we're in a 1/1/1 situation and maf and wolf targets the townie

In this case the day would start at 0/1/1 and the game would end in a town loss, mafia-werewolf draw. Again, flavor muddies this (lesson learned here):

A faction member must still be alive for that faction to win outright.

0/1/1 would result in the two remaining factions going immediately to night, then cross-killing each other, resulting in a draw. Assuming both players send in an action, of course.

[Papa Zito]

It was rather quiet in the place that had become more tomb than shelter. The five remaining members were wary, some with fear and some with cunning.

And so it has come to this. Despite the group's best efforts, almost everyone in the bunker lies dead. One more is added to that number over the night, but for the remaining two good guys, the news is good.

[Papa Zito]

Hey Zito, WTF was up with Night 3?

Yeah.

Firstly, there was only one kill because cdubs didn't submit a night action. But that isn't what caused the long night. If it was just that, we'd have started on time.

The other thing that happened was I found out that CryMeARiver was trying to influence yawetag from beyond the grave. After talking with farside and mith it was decided that CMAR would be modkilled here and banned from signing up for new games for a month.

So why was yawetag replaced then? Problem is CMAR claimed evilsnail was scum, and I knew that both evilsnail and yawetag had survived the night, so it wasn't fair to either of them to leave a tainted yawetag in.

And, why Fate? Well, he's the only one who volunteered. Plus he and yawetag were masons together anyway so I didn't see the harm.

Big post of night actions/PMs coming in a bit.

[Papa Zito]

Lawl, nathed.

Mod:

Can you post (or can we post) the URL to our respective QTs? I'd love to see the chat between the scum, and I'm sure others would enjoy the Mason's.

I'm leaving that at your discretion.

I especially enjoyed the mafia one, I hope Shrinehme decides to post it.

[Papa Zito]

Night 1

Default PM

It was an exhausting day. To be shut in this dank cellar is bad enough, but then to discover that the professor and his assistant were murdered! You've found one, and he paid for his crime, but his partner is still out there, and there's those two "Werewolves" too...

But maybe this will scare them off. They couldn't have known the group would ferret out one so quickly, right? Maybe the others are paranoid now. Maybe they'll even give themselves up!

You think these things through the night, trying to keep yourself awake. You're surrounded by unfamiliar sounds - creaks, pings, squeaks, the ever-present drip of the faucet in the kitchen. Drip drip drip. One two three. Drip drip drip. Four five

The sound of the alarm startles you back awake. You'd forgotten it was still set for 7 AM. Seems you made it through the night okay. Whew.

You survived Night 1 unharmed.

Mafia PM (Shrinehme)

As the group breaks for the day, you can't help but glare at the assembly that just took the life of your partner. They will pay dearly for this. You catch a glance of Fate smiling. Smug bastard, that's the first one to go.

It seems to take ages before the noises settle down and everyone falls into an exhausted slumber. You feel under your mattress - there it is, the gun you and your friend had found hidden under a loose brick in the wall. You remember talking about it, how it must have meant the professor really wanted you guys to go through with it, how dedicated he must have been to his work to give the surpreme sacrifice. But you didn't think it would go this way, that you would lose Flareonage so quickly...

No matter. You have it now. The silencer is in place. In no time at all, you've made your way to Fate's room and back, the deed done. Your revenge has begun.

You killed Fate on Night 1.

Fate's PM

It was an exhausting day. To be shut in this dank cellar is bad enough, but then to discover that the professor and his assistant were murdered! You've found one, and he paid for his crime, but his partner is still out there, and there's those two "Werewolves" too...

But maybe this will scare them off. They couldn't have known the group would ferret out one so quickly, right? Maybe the others are paranoid now. Maybe they'll even give themselves up!

You think these things through the night, trying to keep yourself awake. You're surrounded by unfamiliar sounds - creaks, pings, squeaks, the ever-present drip of the faucet in the kitchen. Drip drip drip. One two three. Drip drip drip. Four five...

You startle yourself awake. You can't afford to fall asleep. Something cold is on your forehead - you go to wipe it away. Your finger brushes metal. Nononononono

Werewolf PM (cdubs)

What a fantastic day. One of your rivals down, and the rest clueless about what you really are. Absolutely perfect.

You decide that last night was not enough. The rush was just too great, you want to kill again. So you wait until the noises die down, until all is quiet, then creep back out of the room you're sharing. You go slowly, silently, heading straight for RayFrost's room. You can hear him muttering - good, he's asleep. In a flash you're at his side, and you pause to savor the moment. His life, completely in your hands. With those hands, you simultaneously cover his mouth and plunge the knife straight into his heart. You feel it flutter briefly against the point of the blade, then it's over, and you creep back to your room satisfied with another night's good work.

The group has gathered back in the main area again. Everyone is surrounding 3 people, kneeling on the floor. The bad guys! They've given themselves up. Someone walks in from behind you. "I've called the police, they're on their way." You turn to see who spoke, but she has no face. Startled, you turn back towards the group. They don't have faces either. What's going...?

But that's your last thought, as your sleep is interrupted by a knife in your chest.

Night 2

Default PM

Two killers down. As you fall into bed, utterly exhausted, you hope that both the remaining killers have gotten the message. But deep down, deep in your heart of hearts, you know there will be more death tonight. Just like you know that, as much as you've planned it, you won't be able to stay awake tonight to keep watch.

It's quiet, and lonely, and cold in the underground shelter. The only sounds are the steady drip drip drip of the faucet from the kitchen. It's a never-ending, mesmerizing, steady beat that worms its way into your skull.

You'd brought some books, so you try to read to keep yourself awake. But you're so tired you find yourself reading the same sentences over and over again, unable to decipher their meanings. You're so tired you find yourself reading the same sentences over and over again, unable to decipher their meanings. The same sentences over and

The buzzing alarm wakes you promptly at 7AM.

Mafia PM (Shrinehme)

You couldn't have scripted the day any better. One of your rivals down, one more to go. But you have to be careful here. If you take out the other bad guy, then all the attention will shift to hunting for you. Better to let them live a little bit longer.

In the meantime, there's danakillsu. This one has to die. That's twice he's helped lead the group to find the killers in their midst, and there's no way you want to test if third time's the charm. So instead you introduce danakillsu to the business end of your silenced pistol, and return to your room feeling as though you chose your target well.

You killed danakillsu on Night 2.

danakillsu's PM

As the group breaks for the night you return to your shared room feeling an immense sense of accomplishment. That's two down in two days, and you've really sent a message to the two remaining ones. Hopefully they'll back off now and leave you guys alone until someone comes to let you out, but deep down you have a feeling they won't.

So you plan. You and your partner go over who you think the remaining killers are, and what to do about it. But as the night goes on your exhaustion becomes overwhelming, and eventually you fall asleep in mid-sentence.

Too bad, that. You're startled awake by the feel of cold steel on your forehead. If you'd managed to stay awake just a little longer...

You were killed on Night 2.

Werewolf PM (cdubs)

You'd managed to get through the entire day almost unnoticed, just leaning in a corner and watching the proceedings go down. And even though it was your partner they were after, you didn't bat an eyelash - you wolves are loners, after all, and you didn't want anything traced to you anyway.

Once in your now-empty room though, you feel a cold rage. Damn them all, they had all seemed so smug. There was no way you were going to let your partner's death go unpunished. Pack mentality tells you to go after the leader of the band who killed your partner.

Your knife makes quick work of xRECKONERx.

xRECKONERx's PM

What a fantastic day. You were right again. You are a damn god at this.

Tomorrow will be even better. You start jotting down some notes in bed, things you'd seen the others do, things you figure were suspicious. You get the feeling the killers won't stop, but even if they do, you want to be right again. You're a damn hero. Wait until you guys get out of here.

You're standing in the main room. The doorway out is open. You climb the stairs, are blinded by the sun and the camera flashes. "Yeah, I managed to find all four of them. It was amazing." Someone mentions a medal. You smile down from the podium as they place the cold metal on your chest.

You're suddenly startled awake. You're still in your room, and the feel of cold metal is quite real. Then it's plunged into your chest.

Night 3

Fate's PM

You outted yourself and ended up making the wrong decision anyway. Crap. Even worse, now you have a big target on your back. You figure you'd better hide tonight.

After the group breaks for the evening and the body is stowed away, you linger in the common area. You need some place to hide. The endless dripdripdrip from the kitchen catches your ears... what about there?

It's a tight squeeze, but you manage to wedge yourself under the sink, hoping nobody will think to look for you here. Despite the discomfort and your desire to remain awake, you end up falling asleep anyway.

You are awakened later by the sounds of people talking in the common room and go to rejoin them.

You survived Night 3 unharmed.

evilsnail's PM

Holy crap. There's still two crazy killers loose in here with you, and it's just you and another guy left. In a near-panic, you return to your room and pace back and forth, trying to decide what to do.

You end up deciding that the best thing to do is just barricade yourself in. You shove the bed, the nightstand, and the dresser against the door, then sit against the dresser. Hopefully that will keep them out.

Despite your best efforts, your exhaustion pulls you to sleep. You are jolted awake the next morning at 7AM by the alarm, dangling by its cord from the nightstand. Time to end this thing.

You survived Night 3 unharmed.

Shrinehme's PM

Finally, some success during the day. You take one last satisfied look at The Tracker's prone form before returning to your room.

Now, strategy time. You have one person who has come out and said they were sharing a room with two of the others, and so they knew each other and they couldn't be bad guys. Having him around is troublesome. On the other hand, your rival is still about. What to do?

You make your choice. You hear a lot of scraping and rumbling coming from the other rooms, but once that dies down you creep out and head straight for cdub's room.

Hmm, odd. This room looks familiar for some reason. Cdubs is out like a light and doesn't even shift when you press the silenced pistol to his forehead. Too easy.

You killed cdubs on Night 3.

cdub's PM

Another good day. You're almost clear in this thing. Every one of them will lay dead when you're done. You've sworn this.

Exhausted, you set your alarm for 4AM and collapse in your bed. You figure everyone will be asleep by then and you can get to work. But you're so tired that you fall into a deep, dreamless sleep, and don't even feel the cold steel pressed into your forehead, or hear the shot go off.

Papa Zito, thanks for modding! I particularly appreciated all the flavour text. It must have been a lot of work.

It is, but it's fun. It's the style we use on a different forum where I mod.

I loved this game, mod, and I hope I can join another game with you as the mod.

Glad you enjoyed it. I'll probably put myself back in the Open queue soon. So it'll be a while.

Dr. Zito, could you post it for me?

Personally, it's not fair for town, even if the modkill is scum.

It's fair because it's applied regardless of alignment. It doesn't matter if you're town, scum, SK, or power role.

Also, anyone who's modkilled in this way is added to the BaM blacklist, so it can't happen again. With that person, at least.

One thing I will do, though, is make sure I announce that I'm using the ruleset before people sign up.

There's no way you would place a dead Mason into ANY other spot in the game.

This is a fair point, and one I didn't really consider. I was more relieved to have a replacement and get the game back underway than anything else.

Shrinehme should take that up with farside if he feels strongly about it. No hard feelings from me if he does.

Holy shit, town dominated this game!

This is true. Watching everything happen it felt like the town was in control the whole time.
