(Stolen at random from some random person on some random site.)

01 Votes must be in bold. If you do not bold your vote, it will not be counted.

02 Please be attentive and unvote, if necessary, before casting a new vote.

03 Lynching will require a simple majority of votes. Once a player has reached the necessary majority, their pleas are useless and any attempts to unvote will be unheeded. Feel free to post in twilight, though.

04 You may vote: no lynch. Majority votes of this kind are necessary to end the day without a death.

05 If I impose a day deadline, lynching will require at least half of the regular majority at deadline. In the endgame (six players or fewer) only lynches with a regular majority will occur.

06 The game is not to be discussed outside the thread unless your role specifically states that you may do so – and then only at night.

07 Don’t quote any PMs from me. If you do, I will destroy you.

08 If you have a night choice to make, it is due by the posted deadline. If you have not sent me a choice and one is required for your role - I will make the choice for you.

09 If you anticipate being unavailable for more than a 48-hour period, please post a notice to that effect in the thread. Treat this game as a commitment. Be considerate – don’t leave us hanging.

10 If you have any questions at all, please PM me or post the question in the thread.

11 Remember, it’s a game and it’s supposed to be fun. Be nice to your fellow players and your mod. I have zero tolerance for abusive posts.

12 Spelling counts - Other people have to read what you post. Please try and check your spelling and grammar.

Rule 13: Don't **** with the roadie.

All rules are subject to change in part or in whole at the whim of the mod without warning or notification. Use of this thread indicates acceptance of all of these terms and conditions as well as any other terms and conditons that may be added in the future.

Please confirm in thread when you have recieved and understood your role.

Thanks to everyone who has confirmed already - I will wait until after christmas to prod the outstanding players and night choices.

--===--

I have been somewhat deliberatly obtuse in your role PMs. If any one needs any clarification as to the details of their role - PM now and check, it may be too late later.

The demarkation line in this movie between good and bad can be a bit confusing... Some of the good guys are bad guys and some of the bad guys are good guys and so forth. A good rule of thumb: If your character was a hero or a comedy 'sidekick' in the movie - you are town. If you were the villian in the movie you are scum.

Wow, cool - everyones here. Just waiting on a couple of night choices.

We'll start as soon as I have them, but no hurry, as it doesn't look like the game will really get underway until after New Years...

Merry Wossname everybody...

"Everybody who is anybody
Will soon walk through that door
At Fat Sam's Grandslam Speakeasy"

Pop knocks on the book case. A door opens and he vanishes inside.


Welcome to Fat Sam's Grandslam Speakeasy. Always able to find you a table, there's room for just one more.

The lights come on, the curtain opens, the crowd gasps in horror. Tallulah the lead singer and star of the show lies prone on the stage, covered in custard.

Aelyn (Tallulah) has been splurged.

And so day one begins...

I think I'm going mental.

I posted a vote count earlier today and now I can't see it.

This should be an up-to-date vote count:

broomhead - 2 - MeMe, Talitha
chaotic_diablo - 1 - Friztler
Fritzler - 2 - Tamuz, chaotic_diablo
Tamuz - 1 - Adele

And it is indeed 6 to lynch.

That should be correct - I don't have all my neat automated spreadsheet doofies 'cause I'm doing this from work... (Computer Fubar - long boring story, you don't want to know.)

Adele - I've recorded your vote even though you didn't unvote, but only because your avatar is hot... :twisted: (And I'm really enjoying www.questionablecontent.com)

I've decide after some requests and complaints, the large number of questions about roles, and having checked and realised that there is very little information on the internet regarding the roles in Bugsy Malone, to prevent any sort of mass roleclaim on day one.

The game is very delicately balanced (at least I think it is, you all can let me know at the end). and I think a mass claim at this stage would swing the balance too far.

As the Mod I have to be neutral. As much as I might be rooting for a town win, or hoping that my friends do well, I have to design the game so that both sides have an equal chance of winning, otherwise what's the point?

For the lynching to be decided based on a mass roleclaim makes it harder for the scum to win, precisely because certain information isn't as readily available as I assumed it would be.

Having said that - I really don't feel comfortable right now, interfering with the game play, so from now on I will keep my big nose out of it and let y'all carry on. (Provided that the rules remain inviolate).

However I have made a pronouncement and that must stand, so as far as day one goes - No Mass Claiming.

I think for the purposes of definition a claim should be based on pressure of some sort: A bandwagon or a strong vocalisation of suspiscion.

Just choosing to have everyone claim on day one makes the game a matter of who has managed to do the best research or has seen the movie the most.
I did promise that you could play this game without knowing the movie, so to be fair to them, and also to see that players on both sides get to use their character abilities and their deductive abilities before the game finishes this rule applies for the rest of the day.

Last comment: The complaints that I mentioned were not from the scum but from players who could not find info on their characters and certain other clues that I provided them.

As has already been pointed out this rule applies only for today... I am glad that some players have taken the time and effort to do research (and probably watch the movie), and you can use that information as much as you like. Just not a mass claim on day one.

The town retires to their beds shaking their heads in confusion and their fists skywards in anger. Random dangerous-looking lighting bolts hit trees and abandoned buildings in a strangely vengeful manner...

No one has been splurged...

Yes, well, According to my rough working-backwards vote count:

"No I'm not, no I'm not - I'm a downandout mason - with umm, Bugsy - yeah that's it, Bugsy..."

<Blank Stares>

"Ok, I'm Scum(tm) - Waddya going to do about it."

Foolster (Shoulders) - Thug and gang member and definately Scum(tm) has been custardized (ouch).

Night falls - yadda yadda...

Ok - so I missed about 15 pages in the middle because of a stupid bug in the forum software that keeps dropping items off my watched list.

And then I was really busy at work - and I got unexpectedly dragged, quite against my will, up north to stay with some friends for the long weekend.

I am however, really really sorry. You can't see me right now but I am wearing sackcloth and ashes and flagellating myself, and I plan to do so for the rest of the night. (If you want pictures PM me)

I feel bad that I haven't been keeping up - what with there being so much participation from all the players. I hope this means that you are all enjoying the game despite my heinous lack of forethought.

And that's about all the humility that you will get from me... I am now, once again your God (or god if you prefer), and worthy of praise and so forth... Worship me. (At least for the duration of the game...)

It is, as has already been mentioned, night. If you don't think you need to submit a night choice, please PM and let me know that you are not going to do so.

Thank You,

The Management.

As you drag Maz kicking and screaming to the gallows, you notice a sly look on his face - "You're going to die if you lynch me... Don't say I didn't warn you..."

You string him up anyway and look around aprehensively for the hammer to fall...

Nothing happens. After a few minutes nothing happens again. As the fog clears you see before you:

Maz_Medias (Benny - thug) - Scum has been lynched.

Day Breaks (Someone's going to have to pay for that... Hey! Hey! Come back here you lousy kids!)

You all wake up and peer around anxiously lookiing for the latest victim in this crime spree. The comlpete and utter lack of bodies surprises one and all. The cops all take the day off and go get a doughnut.

Tamuz
You are ‘Bugsy Malone’.

o/~You’re a sinner, candy coated. For all your friends you always seem to be alone. But they love you – (Bugsy Malone). ~/o

Each night you can investigate another player – if you find Blousey you will be able to talk to each other at night.

--===--

MeMe
You are 'Dandy Dan - Gang Boss'.

You and your gang of thugs are trying to take New York. Armed with the newly invented 'Splurge Guns', you suddenly have the upper hand against your no. 1 rival: Fat Sam.

Your war has not been going well up to this point - most of your gang have either been hit with custard pies or have run away - leaving you with only Foolster41 and N_lich to do your dirty work.

Your goal is the elimination of Fat Sam's gang and the patrons of Fat Sam's Grandslam Speakeasy.

You have the one time ability to splurge a member of your own gang. This should remain a secret to your thugs.

You, Foolster41 and N_lich may talk at night

Each night you will PM the name of the player that you want your thugs to splurge.

Note: Godfather - If player has claimed a role before being investigated, clues will point to claimed role name


--===--

Foolster41
You are 'Shoulders - Thug’.

You are a loyal member of Dandy Dan's gang. So far most of the gang have either been hit with custard pies or have run away. You and N_lich are the only two thugs that remain to fight the remnants of Fat Sam's gang. Armed with the new 'Splurge Guns' you and N_lich can splurge one target every night.

You, MeMe and N_lich may talk at night.

--===--

N_lich
You are 'Benny - Thug'.

You are a loyal member of Dandy Dan's gang. So far most of the gang have either been hit with custard pies or have run away.
You and Foolster41 are the only two thugs that remain to fight the remnants of Fat Sam's gang.

Armed with the new 'Splurge Guns' you and Foolster41 can splurge one target every night.

You, MeMe and Foolster41 may talk at night.

--===--

Adele
You are “Fat Sam – Gang Boss”.

You are the owner and proprietor of ‘Fat Sam’s Grandslam Speakeasy’, and the leader of a bumbling ineffectual team of gangsters. Your somewhat more organised archenemy Dandy Dan has just sourced a deadly new type of weapon – the Splurge Gun, with which he intends to wipe out not only the rest of your gang, but all of your customers and friends as well. You have the option of ordering your two remaining gang members – Knuckles and Roxy the Weasel – to hit one player per night, however, they are bumbling boobs armed with second rate weapons, so don’t expect them to get it right every time.

Special Note:

Be careful with your ability – there are consequences for splurging an innocent…

Note: If they splurge an innocent Smolski will be immediately notified. (Gets clues pointing to Fat Sam or one of thugs) Kill = 25%


--===--

Fritzler
You are 'Knuckles - Thug'.

You are a loyal member of Fat Sam's gang. So far most of the gang have either been splurged or run away. You and Snake-Eyes are the only two thugs that remain to fight the remnants of Dandy Dan's gang. Armed with (now hopelessly obsolete) custard pies you and Snake-Eyes can splurge one target every night. (On the orders of Fat Sam only)

You, Adele and broomhead can talk at night.

--===--

broomhead
You are Snake-Eyes - Thug'.

You are a loyal member of Fat Sam's gang. So far most of the gang have either been splurged or run away.

--===--

Aelyn
You are ‘Tallulah – Singer’

You are also Fat Sam’s girlfriend. (Although – just like all the other girls – you are hopelessly in love with Bugsy)

Special Condition:
If anyone role-claims Bugsy Malone, you will support and agree with everything he says..

--===--

Talitha
You are ‘Blousy Brown – Singer’

Down on your luck you are trying to find work as a singer in New York. Your horoscope says you might meet a dark handsome stranger…

--===--

Alexander/Stark
You are ‘Captain Smolsky – Flatfoot’.

You can choose to investigate one player each night. You will be able to gather a few clues as to the identity of that player.

Although the usual rules apply you may post the results of your investigations.

Notes: Gets clues as to the identity of target


--===--

chaotic_diablo
You are ‘O’Dreary – Police Lieutenant’.

Your job is primarily to get in the way of Captain Smolsky’s investigations. However, if Captain Smolsky dies, you will be presented with all of his case notes and asked to take over his job.

Notes: Will get sent all cop investigations and results


--===--

Pariah
You are ‘Fizzy – Janitor and Wannabe Tap-Dancer’

You are the Janitor at Fat Sam’s Grandslam Speakeasy. You are also a pretty fly tap-dancer although your requests to perform on stage are always met with an uncaring “Tomorrow…”

Special Condition:
You must make a reference to tap-dancing at least once in the game and also make mention of the fact that tomorrow never comes. The town cannot win unless you have done this. (You may post once immediately after your death if you have not fulfilled this requirement). Try and be subtle, the two references should not be obvious to the other players.

Notes: When both requirements are met, becomes doc.

Bugsy Finds Blousy –

“If she’s here about the audition Bugsy, she’s got a long wait. Every day they tell me to come back tomorrow.”

You have found Blousey. You may now communicate at night with *****.

“What’s your name?”
“Brown”
“Sounds like a loaf of Bread”

“Sounds like a stale loaf of bread”

Hints for Cops:

Bugsy Malone: Everyone seems to love *****. Good looking and a fast talker, you’ve seen this player addressing a ‘Fourth Wall’ from time to time.

Dandy Dan: A little Slimy, although a snappy dresser **** lives in a very well-appointed mansion and is often seen in the company of a number of suspicious characters.

Shoulders: A goon of low intelligence, ***** is suspected in a number of unsolved crimes… Although obviously some sort of lowlife he is frequently seen at a large mansion in the nice part of town

Benny: A goon of low intelligence, ***** is suspected in a number of unsolved crimes… Although obviously some sort of lowlife he is frequently seen at a large mansion in the nice part of town

Fat Sam: ***** is an overweight angry man, and is often seen in the vicinity of a suspiciously unsuspicious bookshop with a small number of unsavoury characters.

Knuckles: **** Seems to have a bad habit of cracking his knuckles. Not what you’d call leadership material, this player is obviously a follower.

Snake-Eyes: Always playing with a pair of dice. ***** comes across as very shifty and a little dumb.

Tallulah: Very pretty, ***** appears to be a professional singer, although she doesn’t seem to work at any restaurants or theatres in the area.

Blousy Brown: A shy, unremarkable girl, although those that have heard her sing say she has a surprisingly remarkable talent.

Smolsky: If you are reading this message it means that you were stupid enough to investigate yourself. Congratulations for playing in character; although unfortunately because you are so inept as a police officer, you aren’t even able to find any information of value about yourself.

O'Dreary: Although you don’t get any scum vibes from *****, you do experience an inexplicable feeling of rage and frustration

Fizzy: ***** seems to be black and so is obviously guilty of something. Appears to be a fulltime janitor although what a small bookshop needs with a fulltime janitor….

That's everything...

I'll let you all post night choices where its not obvious...

Balance:

The cop only got clues, nothing useful - (actually turned out to be more useful than I thought, and probably didn't need a backup.)

There was no doc originally, but I had fizzy with a pointless posting requirement. And I was actually worried because the town didn't have any protection - so I decided that he would become the doc when he completed his requirements.

Dandy Dan's 1 off mafia kill was a bit of a red herring - it was there for theme reasons only. She asked if it was additional to their normal choice, and because I didn't really expect her to use it I decided that it should replace night kill. (This could have been a way to swing a bit more toward the mafia, but at the time I didn't realise how much the mason group helped the town.

Masons. What can I say. I included a mason group because it fit so well with the theme - gang vs gang. I toned the towns abilities down a little to try and compensate. Obviously not enough.

I think the two main things that lost the game for the mafia, was the poor role claims by the mafia, and meme's trying to shutdown the mass roleclaim. (Which was obviously related.)

This was partly my fault - i had assumed that there would be plenty of info on the internet regarding the characters in the movie. If I had checked and realised it would be so hard, I would have given them some safe claims to choose from. But by time i realised they had already made those awful claims... :roll: :oops:

I'm not trying to make your play look poor - I did say it was partly my fault for not checking that the information was available first. If everyone had had a good rolelaim at the beginning ie "I'm Oscar develt..." then it wouldn't have been so obvious who was scum... you might have lynched a couple of town...

So it's all my fault, I underestimated the power of a mason group in a small game - I started with theme and then tried to balance it.

MeMe lasted a lot longer than I thought once everyone had pointed out how bad the setup was... That's good play.

I hope you all had a good time anyway - 40 pages is a good game..

Remeber that this is only my 2nd time modding - next time it will be better.
