Mini 918 - A Hot, Steaming Bowl of Mafia - Game Over!

Mini 918 - A Hot, Steaming Bowl of Mafia

Welcome to Oatville, home to one of the largest manufacturers of oatmeal, cream of wheat, granola, and assorted porridges in the world. It's always been a peaceful town... until now.

The mafia have infiltrated Oatville in an all-out attempt to seize control of their beloved breakfast cereal operation. To them, it seemed like the perfect target -- a legitimate business operation in a perfectly harmless industryl Who would suspect cereal manufacturers of having mafia ties? To gain control of it, all they'd need to do was intimidate a bunch of milk-drinking cereal makers.

But the denizens of Oatville are far from weak. Fueled by a healthy breakfast of whole grains each morning, they're ready to fight for their factory. More importantly, they may love their breakfast, but they know this:

When the mafia's in town, mob justice is the most important meal of the day.

Game Status: Game over!

Still eating a healthy diet:

Col.Cathart
d3x
RedCoyote
Bio Hazard
Zachrulez
Locke Lamora

Gone from this world:

Rules:

1) Please vote in the format

Vote: Sigma

. I appreciate but do not require unvotes. No vote tricks are allowed.
2) Lynches are majority format: a simple majority of votes on a player will get that player lynched. You may also vote No Lynch. When a player has been lynched, the game goes into the twilight phase. You may continue to talk in this phase until I post the death scene and bring the game into the night phase.
3) Deadlines are two weeks, unless moderator or replacement issues require an extension. If the deadline occurs and no majority is reached, no one will be lynched.
4) Do not discuss this game outside the thread unless specifically instructed on how to do so.
5) Do not post after your death scene has been posted. This includes 'bah!' posts.
6) Do not edit or delete your posts.
7)

Do not quote my PMs, in whole or in part.

In other words, do not try and confirm yourself by including phrases from my PM, or quoting the flavor, etc. This should not happen in a Normal game, and violation is subject to modkill.
8) If you have a night action, submit it by the deadline given or no action will occur. Each night will last 72 hours. No takebacks -- the first night action I receive will be the one that occurs.
9) Please let me know if you are unavailable for more than a 72-hour period by posting in the thread and letting us know that you will be away.
10)

I will be using green this game.

Please do not use this color. Do not attempt to impersonate me. No invisible/small text either, please.
11) Players are subject to a prod if that player has gone at least 72 hours without posting. Once a prod is given, that player has 48 hours to respond before being replaced. I will try and keep on top of this, but feel free to post prod requests in thread. I reserve the right to forcibly replace players who only post things like 'Really busy, will post soon.'
12) Please address any in-thread requests to me in bold.
13) Please, please ask me if you have any questions about rules, PMs, or other aspects of the game.
14) Personal attacks, poor sportmanship, and other trollery is absolutely unacceptable and is likely to result in modkill.
15) Punishment for rule infraction is subject to my judgment. I reserve the right to modkill when the offense merits it, but this punishment will be used only when clearly deserved.
16) All flavor is strictly for entertainment purposes only. It is not relevant to the game in the least.
17)I hope everyone has fun -- this is just a game, as I hope my silly flavor text makes clear. Play nice and enjoy the game.

As you are discussing who to kill over the day's breakfast, an awful noise comes from the end of the table. As one, you turn to look at Sotty7, who is turning red. Before she collapses, she manages to gasp out two words:

"oatmeal... poisoned..."

Sotty7 has been killed.

You search her, but can find no evidence of mafia ties in her possessions, thus revealing her as a

Vanilla Townie.

After deliberating at length, you decide that Moai Interceptor Cannons is an infiltrator from the mafia. Despite his protests, you lynch him in a forthright fashion.

After searching him, you discover a mafia ID card, proving him to be guilty of the accusations. You also discover a small case of industrial-grade cream of wheat -- perfect for sabotaging vehicles. These could only be the tools of a

Mafia Roleblocker.

It looks like the world is one step closer to being safe for oatmeal.

This is your friendly reminder not to use small text. It's annoying.

Please also note that any sort of flavor-quoting that appears to impersonate the mod is forbidden, according to Rule 7. I wouldn't kill someone for a

Hoopla was too suspicious to live.

After her lynch, you search her and find a small quota of poisoned oatmeal sewn into the lining of her jacket... and a note. It seems she foresaw that her use of poison might get her lynched one day...

To the denizens of Oatville:

If you are reading this, I have been lynched. I know that you may be convinced of my guilt, as I've commited a heinous crime by poisoning our town's oatmeal. However, I'd like you to know that I did it for the best; I only became a

Vigilante

to save our town. I only hope that you can do it...

without me.

The kill will take effect as soon as I get your message. Unfortunately, due to the town's schedule, you can only use this ability once per day. Please note that you are a Day Vigilante, and as such, must use your power before night falls.

Thanks, for playing the game everyone. I hope you liked the setup and my modding -- I thought it went pretty well. Please feel free to discuss the game and let me know if you have any feedback for me.

One thing I don't like about closed setups is the necessary 'try and guess the setup' that everyone has to do, and that seemed to be an issue that cropped up in this game. Really, the key turning point for this game after a bad day 2 for town was a nice track by Col.Cathart, but I recall that the scum were afraid of a doctor being in the setup due to having a scum roleblocker in the setup, so they killed elsewhere. Obviously, if they had killed the tracker, the game would have been very different. Maybe I'll try modding a semi-open game next time and see what issues crop up there.

I've honestly never seen scum hammer in the situation Bio did -- it always seems to be townies that do the really reckless hammers. Maybe that WIFOM will change over time. I thought charter and Zach did a nice job there setting up Hoopla for the lynch.

Hope you guys had fun!
