Mini 1044: Lie to Me Mafia - Game Over

[Shepherd_of_Wolves]

MOD, your last VC said D1.

[MeMe]

I've just been informed about your missing mod problem. I'm doing what I can to get hold of him and he will have 48 hours to get back in here before any action is taken. In the meantime, please PM me and let me know if you feel strongly about having this game continue (in case Stef fails to come back) -- if a majority want to keep going, I'll see what I can do about getting a replacement mod & the set-up.

[Nachomamma8]

And not that it matters, but I'll be V/LA until Monday.

[Tasky]

are there any news about this game?

[Shepherd_of_Wolves]

I voted to keep honing. So, I suppose today we find out. I hope.

[Antihero]

I'm waiting for jim to flip...

[Narsis]

or not flip and show nacho was lying about his dayvig power...

[Antihero]

Do you seriously think that's a possibility at this point?

[Narsis]

Do you seriously think that's a possibility at this point?

possible? yes.

probable? not really.

[MeMe]

Sorry for the delay -- was out of town yesterday.

Yes, you all got the majority (6 players want to keep going), but I've not heard from Stef either by PM or email, so I don't have a set-up to pass on to a new moderator, should I be able to find one. I was frankly hoping that, since this is a very young game, most players would be willing to let it go should Stef flake...with full text of role PMs, a new mod MIGHT be able to figure things out, but in a game called "Lie to Me" I think there's a very real likelihood that there's moderator information not implicit in the provided player text.

Thoughts? Ideas?

I think we should at least try.
shall we send you our role-PM's? maybe you (ore some new mod) can figure the setup out. and worst case scenario we get a new interpretation of the setup, should be fun anyway.

i'm willing to let it go but i'd much rather prefer to to keep playing. i do unfortunately realize that without the mod notes on roles and stuff it may be a tad difficult to get it set up the way the mod wanted it though.

[Shepherd_of_Wolves]

The one role that seems lost forever to the setup is Maddie/Mokujin. The MOD may just have to take all the available roles and design in the rest. Further, I think we should have ALL PLAYERS who have made private actions send in all ACTIONS up to this point.

The only real lose that I see is MADDIE/MOKUJIN. The MOD can check for balance and decide what this role should be.

[Espeonage]

The fact that we have a flaked player ruins the idea of salvage by that means. I think we have to let it go.

[ZeroFang]

We could just have him be the lynch for the day and resume the game at night 2.

[Espeonage]

So basically a modkill?

A

flaked player? As in singular? This game has been plagued by lurkers from Day 1. While continuing this game would be fine with me, I would prefer to let it go.

So basically a modkill?

I wouldn't be opposed to modkilling the Maddie/Mokujin slot. It's already in the 20+ pages and we have NOTHING from that slot.

Meme, if you can get a backup mod, we can all just PM our roles to him/her (I'm just under the assumption everyone will be honest, but I guess that's another flaw with this plan).

[Espeonage]

I was one of the people who didn't opt to continue because of these reasons. That said I will happily play the rest of the game should a replacement come.

[Shepherd_of_Wolves]

I agree to MOD KILL maddie/mokujin. I think it is the most balanced thing for the game. BUt, I am also okay if the MOD designs a new role.

[Locke Lamora]

Hi all, sorry for the absence, I see the mod has gone AWOL anyway. I'm happy with either modkilling the Mokujin slot or for a new mod to make up a role.

[MeMe]

I've just emailed a plea to Stef to at least send the set-up (I can't think of any reason he'd want to make this unnecessarily hard on you all and his replacement). I'd like to hold off a couple of days more to see if he complies with my request before having someone new do possibly unnecessary work.

Cool?

[MeMe]

Oh! Potentially good news! I went digging through my PMs -- since Stef had abandoned a game earlier, he was required to have a back-up mod (a fact I'd completely blanked on). Zorblag was named, so I've sent him a message and, hopefully, that will be THAT.

Sorry for not remembering earlier!

[Tasky]

thanks very much.

[Zorblag]

Good day. I'm going to try to pick up the modding while Stef is out for now. The good news is that I did review the setup for him before the game started so I should know more or less what he was planning for roles and overall game mechanics. I should be able to move the game along as he intended it to be moved. The bad news is that I don't have any idea how the roles were assigned or what he want with for eventual role PMs (he was still finalizing them.)

For now I'm putting a hold on any voting/actions while I get my bearings.

At this point if everyone should forward me their role PM as well as let me know any actions of any sort (beyond voting) they've made at any point up till now.

Once I get enough information I'll have you start the game again. While that's happening I'll put together a vote count and see if there's anything else that I need to take care of immediately. Thank you all for your patience at this point!
