Mini 1111: Wait Your Turn, Tex! (GAME OVER)

[Mr. Flay]

Somewhere in West Texas, a collection of ne'er do wells and white-hatted hombres is gathering. They're fixing to slap leather, draw iron, and see who will control this worthless patch of scrub. Will you help decide?

This will be a Texas Justice variant, and hence an open setup:

• 4
  Mafia 1-Shot Gunmen
  (no Faction kill)
  
• 4
  Odd-Night 1-Shot Vigilantes
  
  
• 4
  Even-Night 1-Shot Vigilantes

Mafia win endgame ties, if everyone has used their shot.

It has also been run once, as a Marathon Game w/9 players, which may be useful reading.

1. Living Players:
2. PokerFace,

   Even-Night Vigilante
   , survived!
   
3. UltimaAvalon,

   Odd-Night Vigilante
   , survived!
   
   
   Players taking a dirt nap:
   
   
4. Xalxe,

   Mafia Gunman
   , was lynched Day One.
   
5. Sudo_Nym,

   Odd-Night Vigilante
   , was killed Night One.
   
6. Katsuki,

   Mafia Gunman
   , was killed Night One.
   
7. Hoopla,

   Odd-Night Vigilante
   , was killed Night One.
   
8. Fritzler,

   Even-Night Vigilante
   , was killed Night One.
   
9. chamber
   InflatablePie,

   Odd-Night Vigilante
   , was killed Night One.
   
10. AGar,

    Even-Night Vigilante
    , was killed Night One.
    
11. No one was lynched Day Two.
    
    
12. scotmany12,

    Mafia Gunman
    , was killed Night Two.
    
13. Fate,

    Even-Night Vigilante
    , was killed Night Two.
    
14. Cogito Ergo Sum,

    Mafia Gunman
    , was killed Night Two.

Town wins! See page 18 for post-game.

  Mafia Gunman

  , along with your fellow desperados

  X

  ,

  one

  (1) shot to use during any Night to kill somebody; just PM me your choice.

  You have no collective Night Kill as a faction!

  
  
  The game starts immediately with Day One. You may speak to any

  living

  members of your group on Day

  One

  ONLY, and any Nights, in this Quick Topic:
  
  You win if you eliminate everyone in the Town, or can come to an endgame tie/majority where everyone has used up their shots.

  Odd-Night 1-Shot Vigilantes

  You are an

  Odd-Night Vigilante

• 4
  Even-Night 1-Shot Vigilantes

  You are an

Rules:

1. Votes must be in bold for them to count, though I would prefer you use the [ vote ] tag: VOTE: Clint. Unvotes should also be bolded so I can spot them easier, but they're not required.
2. A simple majority of votes (1/2 the number of living players plus one, rounded down) will achieve a lynch and end the Day. Unvoting after that point will not save someone's life.
   If deadline is reached (7 real life days, more or less) with no regular lynch, the required number of votes will be lowered by

   one
   .
3. Nights will last up to 48 hours, but may be shorter if all night choices are in before the deadline. I will endeavor not to have an entire Night period fall on a weekend.
4. Dead men tell no tales.
   If you get killed, stop talking until the game is over
   (a single "go <team>"-style post is fine)
   .
5. Do not discuss this game with other players outside of this thread, unless you have a PM from me specifically stating you can do so.
6. Do not directly quote any PMs you receive
   ; I have already posted the roles above, but this holds true for any future messages you receive from me as well.
7. Treat this game as a commitment; this game will be fast-paced due to the tight deadlines.
   If you're going to be gone for longer than 36 hours, let us know
   . I will prod after 36 and replace people who do not respond within 24 hours of that prod.
8. Any action which would be illegal to actually do is also illegal to fake
   (for example, posting a
   made-up
   PM that shows a Cop result of guilty/innocent).
9. Robust cryptography and steganography are not allowed in my games.
10. Have fun; don't be an ass;
    participate
    !

A rope, a horse, and it's over before the sun even touches the horizon. A casual observer might think that this bunch had done this before... but that would be uncivilized, wouldn't it? In the end, Xalxe's death bodes well for the town, as it puts you one step closer to cleaning up the mess.

Xalxe,

Mafia Gunman

, was lynched Day One.

It is now Night One. Any and all actions should be turned in to me by midnight on Wednesday, January 19th.

We may dawn sooner if all choices are in, though scum will get a reasonable amount of time to talk regardless.

[Mr. Flay]

Upon waking, you find several of your group laid out with their boots on. Luckily, one more of the scumbag bastards also bit the dust last night, but the sunrise finds just five of you left, eyeing each other with growing suspicion and itchy trigger fingers...

• Sudo_Nym,

  Odd-Night Vigilante
  , was killed Night One.
  
• Katsuki,

  Mafia Gunman
  , was killed Night One.
  
• Hoopla,

  Odd-Night Vigilante
  , was killed Night One.
  
• Fritzler,

  Even-Night Vigilante
  , was killed Night One.
  
• chamber
  InflatablePie,

  Odd-Night Vigilante
  , was killed Night One.
  
• AGar,

It is now Day Two; with five alive, three votes will be enough to lynch. Day Two will end no later than midnight on Wednesday, January 26th.

Steely glares and blazing sun notwithstanding, the five of you still standing came to some sort of 'arrangement' to pass the rest of the day without bloodshed. But who can tell what the night will bring?

It is now Night Two; any and all night actions are due to me no later than midnight on Wednesday, January 26th.

[Mr. Flay]

As the sun dips below the horizon, PokerFace and scotmany12 face off, and Cogito Ergo Sum squares off with Fate. UltimaAvalon waits with bated breath, knowing that whatever happens, this will be the end...

Cogito Ergo Sum fires first, his bullet striking Fate full in the belly. Blood and bile spill forth as Fate falls to his knees, mortally wounded. PokerFace lets out a yell and braces his shooting iron, making sure to hit scotmany dead on. scotmany's throat explodes in a welter of gore, and he tumbles into the dust, gurgling horribly, gun dropping from unresponsive fingers.

CES's eyes glitter as he contemplates the victory within his grasp, but then he hears Fate whispering:

"I do not aim with my hand; I aim with my eye.
I do not shoot with my hand; I shoot with my mind.
"I do not kill with my gun; I kill with my heart."

And with his dying breath, Fate lifts his gun, which appears to have tripled in weight, and blows the top of Cogito Ergo Sum's head off.

scotmany12,

Mafia Gunman

, was killed Night Two.
Cogito Ergo Sum,

Mafia Gunman

, was killed Night Two.
Fate,

Even-Night Vigilante

, was killed Night Two.

TOWN WINS!

[Mr. Flay]

Oh bah - Sudo was one step off from scotscum in my spreadsheet.

Speaking of which:

chamber/InflatablePie killed Katsuki N1.
UltimaAvalon killed InflatablePie N1.
Sudo_Nym killed AGar N1.
Hoopla killed Sudo_Nym N1.
Katsuki killed Hoopla N1.
scotmany12 killed Fritzler N1.

Fritzler and AGar never got to shoot, as Even-Night Vigilantes killed N1.
Xalxe never got to shoot, which may have made quite the difference.

I'm glad you all enjoyed it. I do agree that it isn't entirely broken, though it may be imbalanced (it's certainly swingy as hell, depending on that D1 lynch).

[Mr. Flay]

I find Fate fun to play with as long as he doesn't try to claim more credit than he deserves.

This.

Many of you probably don't know that I had Fate blacklisted before this game. I thought Tex's short deadlines and vig-heavy setup would be an ideal place to give him a try (he's been bugging me not to blacklist him without a chance). Also, I've noticed that Fate has the ability to moderate his posting/caps (even though it makes him slightly crazy on the inside). He's definitely got some astute insights during the game, but I think his posting style makes a lot of people ignore him.
