1119: The Might of Mordor: Game Over

[Andrius]

The Might of Mordor

Narrated by: Andrius
Reviewed by: xReckonerx, Empking

"Mordor.
The one place in Middle-Earth we don't wanna see any closer.
It's the one place we are trying to get to.
It's just where we can't get." - Sam

One does not simply walk into Mordor.

Its black gates are guarded by more than just orcs.
There is evil there that does not sleep, and the Great Eye is ever watchful.
It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire and ash and dust, the very air you breathe is a poisonous fume.
Not with ten thousand men could you do this. It is folly! - Boromir

[Andrius]

Andrius' Mafia RuleSet

I: Pre-Game

I.

Confirmations will be done in-thread in this game.

II.

Factions with QuickTopics (QTs) will be able to converse as per the rules of their QTs. The "Mafia" faction has DayTalk.

III.

When all of the players confirm, I will start Day One.

II: Day Phase (DP)

I.

Each Day Phase shall last two weeks.

II.

QTs, unless members have DayTalk, cannot talk during the DP.

III. Votes must be bolded or they shall not be counted.

Abbreviating someone's name is acceptable, so long as I can discern who you were voting for without trouble.

IV.

Unvoting is not required, but is much appreciated by me, the moderator.

V.

Once you have reached a simple majority (half of all living players plus one) that person's fate is sealed and they shall be lynched. Unvoting cannot change their fate.

VI.

If half the living players approve a No Lynch (

Vote: No Lynch

), then no player shall be lynched and the game shall enter Night Phase. If deadline is reached and no one has received a simple majority of the votes, no one shall be lynched.

VII.

Once a player is lynched the game enters twilight until I arrive and post a death scene. All players may continue to post during Twilight.

VIII.

If you have failed to post for over 48 hours, I will send you a prod. Failure to respond to this prod within 48 hours will result in the replacement of that player. Force-replacing of flakers/rule-breakers will be occur at my discretion.

IX.

A deadline extension of 24 hours to the DP may be granted; just ask.

III: Twilight Phase

I.

Twilight Phase is the time between the moment when a simple majority for a lynch is met, and when I post the death scene and lock the thread for Night Phase. All players, including the lynchee, may continue to talk in-thread.

II.

Votes and Unvotes shall not be counted during Twilight.

III.

Once the lynch scene has been posted the thread shall be locked for the Night Phase.

IV: Night Phase (NP)

I.

Night shall last 72 hours (three days).

II.

The mafia faction and any other group with a quicktopic will be able to communicate using their QT.

III.

Any role or faction with night abilities may choose to use them by PM-ing the mod with their choice.

IV.

If no action is received, no action will be taken. All actions received after the deadline has passed will not be acknowledged.

V.

Contradictions in action resolution (i.e. mutual roleblocks/recruitions) are resolved by giving the first action submitted priority. This ONLY applies if actions cannot be resolved normally.

V: Capital Offenses

I.

Do not quote your Role PM or any private communication (either real or fabricated) with the moderator, co-moderator, or backup-moderator. Paraphrasing your Role PM is acceptable.

II.

There is to be no personal communication outside the forum postings (regarding this game) unless your role specifically allows it.

III.

I will use the color

Dark Red

for mod stuff outside of my posts. Posts originally made by me will vary in color.

IV.

Do not quote your Role PM. (Again, for emphasis.)

V.

Various Outlawed Shenanigans:

• Using invisible text, codes, cryptography, etc.
  
• Editing your posts (if you have the power to do so)
  
• Insulting other players
  
• Do not quote any QTs you may have access to

If any of these offenses are committed, I have the right to force-replace you from the game or modkill you. A warning will usually come before replacement or modkilling, depending on the severity of the infraction.

VI: Miscellaneous

I.

Feel free to address me in-thread, but if there is a large egregious mistake please PM me. Small matters like errors in the votecount can be posted in-thread.

II.

I have the final say on any issue.

III.

This is a game. Have fun, and keep the game fun for other people. Stay civilized, please.

IV.

Play to win.

VII: Game-Specific Rules

I.

There are no Cults or Jesters in this setup.

II.

This is not a bastard game.

III.

There are no Vanilla Roles.

IV.

Each Day Phase you will vote for a lynch and for one player to bear

The One Ring

for the following Night Phase. The player who is given this responsibility will gain access to their Superpower for that night only. You may win this honor more than once. To vote for this honor, you may

Imbue: Player

to support their bid or

Un-Imbue

to remove your support. Like Lynch-Voting, you may vote for yourself, and Unvotes are not necessary. You need a simple majority (half the live players +1) of votes to win this honor. Once the majority is reached, the Imbue is locked in place for the Day.

Game Thread: HERE

[Andrius]

Ok. This is great. xD
I love how fast this is going. *ahem*

I'll be sending out Role PMs slowly, since I actually added the link to the game thread in each PM, unlike every other Role PM I've ever written. lol

And yes, you may post here. The thread is open, and you may /confirm in-thread.

[Andrius]

No, that's Plum. Not Pom. lol

Anyway. All Role PMs have been sent. It was kinda hard sending them with like 2 people replying every minute.
But yeah. Peruse the Game-Specific Rules and feel free to ask questions.

We'll get this party started soon enough.

[Andrius]

So I forgot to do a couple things in the rush, one of which being forgeting to tell the scum they actually have a NightKill...
But I added onto the Day-Ring mechanic, so feel free to see how the second part of voting works.
Just waiting on two people to pick up their roles and confirm.

[Andrius]

Day The First

There are no formalities. There is no small-talk. You are the Undead, and the enforcers of Mordor. Where you go the hordes of Orcs and Trolls and dark creatures follow.

But no one interferes when the Nazgul are involved. Twelve hooded and cloaked figures descend on the bluff between Mount Doom and Barad-dur. On a cragged stone pedestal in the center of the bluff sits The One Ring. Forged by the Dark Lord Sauron an age ago, the

Heroes of Light

are here to destroy it. And as the dozen hooded figures glance from hooded face to hooded face, you know that just running to claim it would spell certain death.

Day One has begun.
With 12 alive it takes 7 to lynch. It also takes 7 to Imbue.
Deadline is Thursday, February 10th, at around 1pm PST.

Notice

As the sun begins to sink in the ashy Mordor sky you all beckon quadz08 to take The One Ring. At first he hesitates, then moves towards the flat rock on which Isilduir's Bane was placed. He scoops The One Ring into the fold of his cloak, and deposits it into some pocket.

Behind you Barad-dur shines in a unholy sable light as the sun begins to set behind it.

All flavor aside,

quadz08 bears The One Ring for Night One.

The Imbue-count will not be reflected in the rest of D1 votecounts, only a reminder that quadz08 bears The One Ring for N1.

Lynch votes are as they were. Deadline stands.

A lynch has been reached.

Day One Lynch

The sun begins to set in the land of Mordor and it isn't long before the shrieking and chanting voices of the Nazgul (and other fell beings) draw the attention of

other

evil being; both living and otherwise. The remnants of Sauron's armies gather to watch the proceedings.

As the majority of you turn against

Plum

, a black arrow flies through the night and pierces Plum just underneath where her heart would be. Staggering back, Plum pulls out her blade. From across the bluff walks

a2rudeboy

, as he was in death; blood perpetually flowing from his wounds, and his head was barely attached to his head; as if he were some sort of monster pieced together again and brought to life by the lifeblood of Revenge. He notched another arrow to his bow, and fired again, hitting Plum square in the chest. As Plum hurled her sword at the Uruk-hai, the final arrow pierced her heart, sending her crashing to the ground.

You all gather around her as her sword sends a2rudeboy back into the netherworld. You retrieve The Horn of Gondor from her corpse. As you all disperse for the night one of you comments,

"One does not simply walk into Mordor."

Plum, Boromir of Gondor (Tracker for The Heroes of Light), Lynched Day One!

It is now Night One. Because I won't be awake at this time in three days, Night One will end Saturday, February 12th, at around 1:00pm PST.

[Andrius]

Day The Second

You all reconvene at the bluff where you met the first day. You find Plum's remains buried in a grave, and count only... ten of you.
You find that

Katy

didn't make it to the assemly, and you all migrate to her cave...

where you figure out why she didn't meet you: her head was severed from her body, and she had been dead for a couple hours now.

Katy, The Witch-King of Angmar (Mason for Mordor), Decapitated Night One!

You all reconvene on the bluff, and quadz08 sets out The One Ring on the rock-face pedestal.

Notices

With ten alive it takes six to lynch and imbue.
Deadline is set at Saturday, February 26th, at 2:00pm PST.

Modscene of Anger

The sky darkens as the life and death hang in the balance...

VasudeVa

reluctantly takes The One Ring into his possession as the earth trembles. Mount Doom bellows its fury from the core of the earth, and lava flowed forth from the Cracks of Doom.

VasudeVa bears The One Ring for Night Two.

The sky darkens, and the land of Shadow is enveloped in darkness...

It is NOT Nighttime. This precedes Mod-action.

[Andrius]

Featured Presentation

The clouds break and the normalcy of Mordor returns. The sky is as it was, and the earth ceased shaking. But when you look around to check for each other's safety, you notice one vital difference.

A new being inhabited the former shroud worn by Edge. "I'm Dekes," it says.

Dekes

replaces

Edge

, by will of the Andrius, the Moderator.
Votes are as they were.

For more info:

Spoiler:

Edge was mod-replaced by me, with the support of my advisor in the matter.
1) He posted out-of-hydra after being asked, first by fellow players, then the moderator. A final warning was issued and not heeded.
2) He quoted text from a QT, which is specifically disallowed by The Rules.

If you are unclear about something please feel free to fire a PM my way.

Almost forgot, as promised:
hohum will not be force-replaced.

FML

So Dekes unwittingly got access to the Dead QT through a complicated sort of mess. As he's now compromised (though this isn't insinuating he would have cheated) I have to replace him now.

F-F-F-F-F

Seriously, can I just get a "one free do-this-week-over" card?

[Andrius]

The Place Where I Used to Stand

T

he ground broke at

Dekes'

feet, and he fell into a deep chasm. After you all cried his name you heard an unearthly silence. Before a low roar.

He is coming.

With a flash of crimson, the shade of Dekes returns to the earth. As the chasm closes beneath his feet he turns and faces you, and you recognize the face...

...the face of Fate.

---

Fate

replaces

Dekes

, effective immediately.

Yes. Fate. In his own account. Why? Yes, this reverses some things. I still agree with the reasons behind the modkill, though it would have been more pertinent to simply eject RC from the hydra instead of dropping the whole deal. This isn't because its easier for me. Dekes (through my own fault) got access to the Dead QT, and wins because of mod error. RC has moved on to the Dead QT, and Fate is here for now. The mod force-replacement and subsequent actions will be discussed post-game. Fate and I have come to an understanding, and this is how things stand. For now.

The following has also been added to the ruleset, in case it wasn't apparently clear before.

IV.

Play to win.

So, this is pretty much just like me having ejected RC from the hydra to begin with.

6 to lynch. Play to win, and please keep things civil. OP is being updated to reflect the slot changes and Dekes' win.

And for my sanity's sake, post in your respective accounts. (*coughMinaovertherecough* )

Your loving and still-falliable Moderator and Friend,

p.s.: If someone has comments/complaints please feel free to PM me. My door (figuratively) is always open. If there is significant opposition to this move then I will reverse it. Simple as that.

Day Two Lynch

It isn't soon after the shiny lights and natural phenomenon die down that you all turn on hohum.

"He slew The Witch-King!" one of you says.

"He might kill again!" another of you says.

"Personally, I think he's just misguided." another says.

"I say lynch me." hohum says. Some of you are swayed. No Elf-prince would lay down his own life like this, you think.

Others think its a clever ruse. As you surround him, his fate is clear. He draws his sword from his side, yet does not move to attack. Nine unsheath their blades. In a flurry of blades, his tattered rags are cut to ribbons, and his spirit is banished from the realm.

hohum, The Knight of Umbar (Vigilante for Mordor), Lynched D2!

It is now Night Two. N2 will end Saturday, February 19th, around 4:30pm PST.

NOTE: All Role PMs did not come with images. I'm adding them for astetic appeal.

Dawn of Day Three

Again do you gather at the rocky outcropping where you have lynched previous members of the council. VasudeVa places The One Ring on the pedestal, and you count your numbers again...

... eight.

quadz08

is missing. You all decide that the first place to check for him should be his cave. As you enter his cave and hunt for him you see, at the far end of the cavern, his billowing garb was pinned to the far wall with an arrow- right in the face.

Andrius: if two people target the same player for a kill (say, with "decapitated" and "shot in-between the eyes") how will the flavour show up? Would either "decapitated" or "shot in-between the eyes" take precedence, or would the player flip as "decapitated and shot between the eyes"?

A combination of the two.

SpyreX

"Hey, guys" SpyreX said, being backed towards the edge of the nearby ravine. "I'm here hunting for Gandalf. I'll kill him when I find him."

"Gandalf The Grey has been dead for some time. We slew him in Rivendell." One of you said.

"NOT THAT IDIOT- GANDALF THE

WHITE

. HE CAME BACK. HE IS COMING." SpyreX said, fuming.

You all decide that you've had enough of SpyreX's prophetic ramblings, and you rush him en masse.

And SpyreX drew his longbow and trained an arrow at the oncoming mob of Undead, he remembered the companions who have gone before him: Aragorn, Gimli the Dwarf, Gandalf, Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin. The Kings of Rohan, the Brothers of Gondor... At least the Undying Lands were within his reach...

Sevei

You all gather around Sevei, and realize that she isn't quite dressed according to Nazgul Fashion standards. Her rags are not tattered, and they are not dusty from thousands of years of wear. They are of a dark sable color, and gold embroidery along the trim.

"You look a little fashionable to be a Nazgul" one of you states.

"Oh please," Sevei states, "I've already said that I'm not a Nazgul."

"DIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIE" one of you screams, and then the majority descend upon Sevei. Torn into pieces, her garments were torn asunder, and the only thing left was a golden glisten in the place where her eye used to be.

is here. Night Five ended early.

[Andrius]

Day the Sixth

Lightning cracked in the sky as the summons was made for the Nazgul to reappear on the mount.

The first to arrive was

The Fellbeast

. "ALRIGHT

SHADOW LORD

, LET'S DO THIS."

The black clouds overhead began to break.

The Shadow Lord

was nowhere in sight.

The Fellbeast

covered his face from the harsh sun with his large wings. The form of

The Shadow Lord

appeared, though he was a mere wight, a frame of his former self. "My spirit lingers for awhile longer

Fellbeast

, but my body is broken."

Without warning, the sky began to erupt into a fiery cataclysm of death and hellfire. Mount Doom, Orodruin, exploded in fire and ash.

The Fellbeast

blew his cover, and spread his wings, taking to the sky in the hopes of gaining Mount Doom. Behind him AlmasterGM's spirit stood next to the rocky pedestal; The One Ring missing.

As

The Fellbeast

neared Mount Doom a horrid screech reverberated through his head. It was the dying knell of

The Shadow Lord

, and the knowledge that The One Ring was destroyed in the Mount. Desperate to take any form of revenge against the perpetrator,

The Fellbeast

folded his wings into a dive, careening towards Mount Doom. But as he approached a flaming sheet of fire and burning boulder collided with the unfortunate beast, burning his wings and sending him smoldering to his death.

Running from the Crack of Doom,

Glorfindel

leapt from rock and crag to find better footing. Crying out to the heavens, he at last collapsed on a rock floating in the magma.

As his sight faded, the sun broke through the thick clouds of Mordor. A lone winged beast approached

Glorfindel

, scooping him into his claws. As

Glorfindel

lost consciousness he heard a familiar yet new voice speak to him, "You have fought well, and your tale shall be told for many a generation to come. Rest, and be at peace, Son of Gondolin."

The Tower of Barad-dur crumbled in the dying throes of Mordor; Mount Doom split down the side and purged the land. And the remaining orcs were swallowed by the hungry earth, eager to consume that which had plagued it for many an age.

The Third Age of this world is over.

AlmasterGM, The Shadow Lord (Scribe for Mordor), Cut to Ribbons Night Five!


Fate, The Fellbeast (Mason for Mordor), Incinerated in Endgame!

MasterSpy, Glorfindel (Roleblocker for The Heroes of Light), Survived!


bv311, Gandalf The White (Flavor Piece in Endgame), Has Been Sent Back for Flavor!

Congratulations to MasterSpy (Glorfindel), SpyreX (Legolas), and Plum (Boromir), The Heroes of Light, for Winning The Might of Mordor!

Spoiler:

What happened was simple. AlmasterGM hammered, and submitted his RB action nearly ten minutes after the hammer- during which time MasterSpy submitted his action blocking AlmasterGM. MasterSpy killed AGM N5, leaving only two players alive D6; while there were 3 votes, there were only two bodies, leaving the physical count at 2. 1:1, scum win.

Everything else is forthcoming.

Thanks for your patience, and thanks for playing!

And Faraday, who was both my guide and mentor when things got rough.

Why hello there,

This is a friendly message from AlmasterGM, otherwise known as the Shadow Lord. It is possible that there is some incredibly awesomesauce gambit I could have attempted using this power. However, I can't think of anything. I also don't really see the point of sending a one-way message to someone during the night in general. Therefore, contrary to the badass quote at the beginning of this paragraph, this message does nothing except verify that the authenticity of my normal power.

For singer:

You will not count towards the overall number of players alive, but your vote will count towards the lynch.

I wanted that role to work just like mine did in Frenzy Mafia. I loved it and wanted to see what someone else would do with it.
If they were dead FOR LyLo town was still boned.

[Andrius]

And finally, this:

SETUP COMMENTS

Probably would have been better, in hindsight, to swap Plum and SpyreX. :/
The Doc allotment couldn't have worked better for Fate.

Yes, there are a couple issues; there are 2 Masons and a Confirmage player. But the scumteam, playing well, could have won on Night Two.
Its a VERY swingy setup, and again, these LOTR setups don't exactly take the top-"badguy" getting lynched D1.
Legolas was always a support role for his team; in the... first version of the setup the player he targeted was immune to watches and tracks.
Funny story, actually. This is the FOURTH mutation of the setup. The original was more of a "spell-list" game like SnowBunny's. Scrapped because of complexity, and the game shouldn't really run around night actions that much.

Like so:
The Witch-King of Angmar
1 Power: Track a player
2 Power: Kill a player if you weren't targeted by anyone else
3 Power: Watch and Protect a player
Each night they gained one power, started with 0. Imbue gave them 1 power. But that was even harder to balance; 3 scum was too few, 4 was too many. :S

but town got REALLY lucky with who drew what role. I can't recall a time where Gandalf -didn't- mindlessly sheep Fate, and so of course he just happens to draw the doctor role.

This. I remember thinking that gandalf will just protect his Sheperd every night, and I've been right so far.
I only once considered changing the setup from the randomness random.org said; I considered swapping Plum and SpyreX, as Legolas was totally made for her. :/

The 2nd protective role was probably a bit much; I was worried about the 2 kills a night in a 12player mini.
The vig was a necessary. The 2nd protective role was overkill.

Lessons learned:
Don't balance because of the worst-case scenario for town or scum. It will result in over-powered town or scum respectively.

Ruleset

Play to Win is now part of the ruleset. hohum was playing to win in that his death would confirm himself, thus making the other person who targeted Fate scum-killer. quadz failed big-time IMO because he didn't reveal MasterSpy.
But yeah. Play to Win is definitely in the ruleset2.0 and emphasized.

No quoting role pms/qts/mod communication is still in there, at least twice.

NAR will be dealt with for future games. Faraday is a great mentor, and the double-RB thing of Vi's isn't the best idea, as we've all seen.

But yeah. I'm not hiding my faults or anything. Everything's in the open. I still stand by my decision to force-replace Edge. However, the better thing would have been to kick RC. Meh. The kick was justified. Implementation wasn't so great.

A goof fifth of the Mason QT is missing because of the Fate/RC/Andy (and Dekes) drama that spanned numerous PMs and 2 QTs.

The setup was flawed, I grant that. This doesn't mean there won't be another power-heavy setup in the future. This means there'll be more oversight and muuuuuch more testing (nearing insane LOTR-Large scale).

I got to see the flaws in my ruleset, and the flaws in my modding, and that was a great experience so the next game will be even better, smooth, and less down and dirty.

[Andrius]

Oh yeah.
All supers besides hohum's were RB-able.
Besides stating to ask me in-thread a couple times, no one actually did.

[Andrius]

Oh yeaaahhh.
My "you're-out" PM to Edge incoming.

Thanks for reminding me, RC.

[Andrius]

Spoiler:

Okay, let me make things abundantly clear.

This is about your lack of cooperation. The posting out-of-hydra was supposed to cease and desist on multiple occasions. Evidentially my words fell on deaf ears, because it did not stop. Multiple players have expressed dissatisfaction with your failure to comprehend a basic rule: had you signed up as Fate and ReaperCharlie you would be free to post in your personal accounts. But no. You hydra'd together. Just because one of you didn't join the game until later on doesn't mean the other head can run around posting under his account. To be frank, its inconsiderate to the other players, and me. I sent you a final warning, which was disregarded.

This is also about your lack of consideration, and blatant disregard for the rules:

V: Capital Offenses:

V. Various Outlawed Shenanigans:
Do not quote any QTs you may have access to

I give you:

Since there is a rule against quoting mod communication or game-related QTs, I'm gonna go ahead and say I consider posts I made to Fate IN MY/FATE'S QT separate from what might be considered a mason QT. I'm only going to post things THAT I MYSELF WROTE TO FATE, so I hope that clears the issue up to a more black and white situation. Just want to get all this out before we get killed in our sleep. So don't modkill me Baker Man, I'm not tryin' to break the rules, compadre. Pretend I'm just reposting it here straight from my brain. This is more of a catch-up post anyway.

You quoted private information, which I specifically forbade in at least three places in my ruleset.

Is this THAT hard to follow? This does not say "you may not quote from Mason QTs/Scum QTs/Neighbor QTs". This clearly states that there is to be NO quoting from ANY QT you have access to.


Finally, this has to do with respect. I respect both of you as players. But I do not appreciate the disrespect towards fellow players and myself. As one fellow moderator and commentator said, "they're still doing it? (posting out of hydra after being warned multiple times) That's just being fucking pricks." You are disrespectful to the players. Insulting them isn't ok. When they ask you to post in-hydra it certainly isn't too much to ask. (I've done my fair share of hydra playing and its not too hard to log in and out multiple times. Annoying? A bit. Too hard for you to do? Apparently.

Honestly, guys, I enjoy playing with both (and creating hilarious setups with RC), and this wasn't an easy call to make. But I am disappointed in both of you. Your slot has been officially turned over to Dekes. You are not blacklisted in any way shape or form in the future.

But you have been Extradited out of Mordor.

</3,

Andrius

p.s. I did ask for a second opinion on this matter, and the matter with hohum, but this was my call to make. (Though we did agree in the end.)

[Andrius]

A good fifth of the Mason QT is missing because of the Fate/RC/Andy (and Dekes) drama that spanned numerous PMs and 2 QTs.

Orrrrr, maybe it's ACTUALLY missing because you don't want anyone to know how you broke down and were crying and Fate yelled at you and you caved in and let him back into the game because you were a pussy.

You can stop lying at any time.

Do I sense bitterness in your voice?
Because I can tell you're not doing this out of friendliness.

(Two can dance the sarcasm, RC. And this is the reason we can never play together. Because you seem to take pleause in inflicting pain on me. But whatever.)

[Andrius]

He and I talked for a few hours via PM in regards to him replacing back in.
Don't pretend to know what you're talking about, RC.

And you blame me for the town loss because I force replaced you?
Not my problem who wins because of your jackassery.

[Andrius]

As far as the MODERATION of this game goes...

I thought it was operated very smooth and the game was fun, but there were quite a few areas that could use improvement. 1) The person with the ring should not have been roleblockable. That resulted in waay too many issues at the endgame. 2) There was WAY too much reliance on flavor. E.g., "Magna's claim didn't make sense because all the Nazgul have swords!" Any time you make an argument like that, it's not fair to the people who don't know the flavor. 3) Most importantly, I would NOT have resolved the roleblocking thing the way you did. Yes, that is what the wiki suggest and what I suggested you do IF you were to force a tiebreak, but given that a) You were already letting MS take two actions b) I had the one-ring and c) Roleblock preceeds NK on the NAR list, I think the kill should have definitely been roleblocked. Leaving it up to "lol who F5'd faster" is just not very satisfying.

1) The point wasn't for it to be a end-all-be-all laundry list of protections like SSBMafia. In a larger game it would have been. I never planned for them to be non-roleblockable, and I understand the concern.
2) Yes. The One Ring shouldn't have been a character, or at least, the confirmable role.
3) Trust me, the whole whichever-comes-first will NOT happen again. That was a fix to a problem I didn't forsee (the double-RBs) that I took from Vi. No offense, but it doesn't really work here all too well.

chesskid trolling sucks. I'd delete all the posts but I can't so I won't bother.

And honestly, this turning into a hate-thread is NOT how this is supposed to work.

And no one had a double-action all game. Where did this "double-RB" thing come from again?

hito
Yeah, I know I'm a ditz. And the time thing won't happen again. I needed quick fix, I got quick fix that was shitty. Like trying to buy alcohol and you get prune juice.


AGM, Toast is a IRL friend of mine who got Culted into Mafia by me.


I'm leaving this thread open. For now. If the hating continues like this then it'll be locked. Feel free to PM me to comment/whatever.
I will NOT take browbeating, and won't tolerate it any longer for the players.
You all were an AMAZING group and I'd love to have you back again.

I'm responsible for the stacked town. And the mod-replacement. And the shitty rule added midgame.

I did NOT force-replace RC to bone the town. Whoever said that needs to STFU and GTFO.

I've said this over and over again in five different places but I'm overhauling how I moderate and the rules under which I moderate before my next game.

If we can't keep this civil then it will be locked.

I have no problem with people who didn't play posting, but chesskid and (to a lesser extent) Katsuki's stuff is unacceptable.

@ AGM: Oh ok. You can tell when you did like 3 pages a day it was hard to keep up.

@ Sevei: Haters gonna hate, but this isn't Forum 62.
