Mini 474 - Bergamo Bump-Off (Game Over!)

[Vel-Rahn Koon]

You awaken to the hustle and bustle of your home town outside of Bergamo in northern Italy. You can’t quite place it, but something feels “off” by the sounds of things going on outside. Little did you know that the peaceful quiet of your normal, everyday life would come crashing down today. It seems that one of your fellow citizens has angered the Mob, and has paid for it with his life! What are you going to do? Why, you’re going to get your peaceful, little town back, that’s what…

Rules:

First and foremost, please remember that this is a game, and your main objective is to have fun! Be considerate of each other, and don’t get personal.

• There is to be NO personal communication outside of the forum postings unless your role PM specifically allows it.
  
• You may not post Moderator-supplied information (either real or fabricated) of any kind.
  
• Game starts with
  Night
  . No actions will occur during the first night phase, although communication (if your role allows it) is allowed until the game begins.
  
• Voting:
  • A simple majority of all living members must agree on one person for a Lynch to occur.
    
  • Once you have reached a simple majority, no further unvoting will change someone’s fate.
    
  • Please submit votes as:
    Vote: PlayerName
    . Votes will NOT be counted otherwise!
    
  • Please submit vote revocations as:
    UnVote: PlayerName
    (appreciated but
    not
    necessary).
    
  • You may
    Vote: No Lynch
    - a simple majority of these vote types are required to send the game to Night phase without a Lynch.
    
  • Deadlines may be implemented if I feel that discussion is lagging. At deadline, ½ the original number of votes will be required for a lynch. If this number is not met, a No Lynch will occur.
• Once you are killed you may no longer post, except for a brief “Bah!”-type post. Once a player is lynched, the game enters twilight until I post a death scene; the lynched player may not post during twilight but all other living players may.
  
• If you have a night role, your choices are due to me by the posted deadline. If I do not receive your choice via PM by the posted deadline, no choice will be made.
  
• Players with night roles allowing communication may only communicate at night.
  
• Red
  or
  Dark Red
  text is reserved for me. No invisible text is allowed.
  
• If you have an issue/problem with the game, please PM me privately. Do not post issues/complaints in the game thread. Conversely, questions/requests for the Mod may be posted in-thread.
  Please bold all requests so that I don’t miss them.
  
  
• 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.

This is the Townie PM:

Townie:

You are a normal townsperson, trying to make a living and survive this insanity.

• You have no abilities at Night other than getting a good night's rest.
  
• Although you do not have any special abilities, your voice and vote are powerful weapons in their own right.
  
• At no time may you privately communicate with any other player.
  
• You win when all threats to the town are removed.

[Vel-Rahn Koon]

All roles have been confirmed. Have fun everyone

Mafia may continue to talk out of thread until Midnight EDT today (approx. 12 hrs from now).

If you guys feel that he needs to be replaced because he's vital to the game at this time, I can find him a replacement, but he's asked to be able to return to the game.

As day fades to twilight, the discussion rages.

"Omen is scum, we need to lynch him now before he poisons the rest of your minds", says Khelvaster.

"No, I'm not scum. I'm the cop", retorts death-omen.

"Good enough for us!" cries the town.

"Wait, you're making a serious mistake here! I'm telling you Omen is scum! I'm innocent! Stop!"

Yet Khelvaster's pleas go unheard. As he swings from the gallows, you go to Khelvaster's house to find out who he really is.

Khelvaster, vigilante

, strung up Day 1.

It is now Night. Players who have night actions may now use them, and communication is allowed until Day 2 starts. You have 72 hours (3pm EDT Thursday) to submit your night actions.

[Vel-Rahn Koon]

DeathSauce is busy in his cellar, happily banging away on the wine rack he was building for his cousin. His hammer stops ringing out, yet the banging noise continues. Is someone at the door? For goodness sake, it's two in the morning, who the heck can that be?

DeathSauce opens the front door, and sees his guest. "Is everything ok? Will you come in?" he asks, worried about the reason for a visit at this time of night.

"Everything's just fine, DeathSauce, just fine", comes the reply, followed shortly by the report of a gun and the thud of DeathSauce falling over backwards, dead.

DeathSauce, Inventor

, has been offed Night 1.




Day 2 has begun.

With 10 alive, you need 6 to lynch.

Sorry folks about the delay, but I'm finishing teaching a summer school class and I've got final exams to grade. I'll be back in full swing with the game starting Monday.

[Vel-Rahn Koon]

There were quite a few questions in there. Did you bother to read it?

Here's some questions for you, did you expect WIFOM to prove anything?

Can you explain your hammer vote? Can you explain your explanation for your hammer vote?

Are you playing anymore? Have you given up?

There ya go. Questions.

1) WIFOM, not sure what this means?

Nelly (and anyone else), check the Wiki for common terms, game theory, etc.:

[Vel-Rahn Koon]

I can extend the deadline, sure.

Deadline extended to Saturday, September 8th, 9 am EDT. That's one extra week, and hopefully I can find replacements in that time.

If I find the replacements, and discussion picks up, I may be willing to remove the deadline altogether.

Nelly appears at first to be the choice for the day, yet somehow VampaneseHunter comes out with the most votes.

As you lead VampaneseHunter to the gallows, he pushes you all away and puts his own neck in the noose.

As the body sways in the wind, you discover to your delight that you've caught one of the mafia, if the tatoo on his arm has anything to say about it!

Seraphic was busy playing with the gadget that she found on her doorstep that morning when a knock sounded at her door. Didn't anyone ever tell her not to answer the door after dark?

SeraphicMirth, Townie

, gunned down Night 2


Aimee had a great time at dinner that night. It was too bad Vampanese was taken out of the picture, but that just leaves room for "upward mobility". It's also too bad she wasn't paying attention when she stepped into the street. The lights of the car caught her attention a second too late...

Aimee, Mafia Goon

, flattened Night 2

7 alive means 4 to lynch

[Vel-Rahn Koon]

I think SomeStrangeFlea could be right to say we shouldn't let the claim interfere. On the other hand, understanding what could have happened would be interesting, but than again; the mod is very much sure we won't get the picture before we get it from him.

How unlikely is a lyncher-role blocker - role?

This is the 2nd time that a question of how difficult/weird this game is has come up. The games on this site are run in a fairly strict manner, with certain requirements needing to be met. I suggest everyone read over this Wiki entry:

Night Choices are due by Sunday at 3:30pm EDT (a bit more than 48 hrs from now).

[Vel-Rahn Koon]

Sometimes it doesn't pay to be in law enforcement. Especially when there're suspected evil doers on the loose. Everyone grumped and moaned about death-omen's lack of investigative results...maybe now after they find his badge and gun they'll believe him. But with a bullet hole in his chest his investigative days are far behind him.

death_omen, Cop

, shot Night 3


Late night house calls were always special to Hjallti. They reminded him of why he went into medicine in the first place. Too bad he couldn't keep the knife in his chest from ending his medical practice. Well, when someone wants you dead I guess it doesn't matter how well you did in Anatomy...

One of the most interesting days in the entire history of your little town comes to an earth-shattering close.

Vampy volunteers himself for the noose, but will that be enough to allow the town he died defending to come out of this chaos on top?

Vampyrusddg, Townie

Night Choices are due by Friday at 4:45pm EDT (a bit less than 48 hrs from now).

[Vel-Rahn Koon]

Interesting evening. It seems as if everyone made it through the night safe and sound.

3 alive means 2 to lynch. Deadlines will NOT lower the number of votes required to lynch.

[Vel-Rahn Koon]

The shortest day in the history of the world comes to an end. The town chooses not to lynch anyone and instead let the Fates decide. See you all tomorrow...



Night Choices are due by Friday at 5:00pm EDT (a bit less than 24 hrs from now). I don't see the point in extending it any longer than that, although if someone requests it I will extend.

[Vel-Rahn Koon]

The day dawns bright, yet cheerless. The sun shines without warmth, somehow failing to bring life to the little town outside of Bergamo.

somestrangeflea stands over the body of Nelly632, wiping the blood off his knife, watching Nelly's life trickle away down the cobblestone streets. Suddenly a slight noise betrays the presence of the last inhabitant of the decimated town.

"Heh, I've done wonderfully here, don't you think Muerrto? And now you're the only thing between me and happiness". flea turns slowly, the sunlight glinting off the knife in his hand reflected in the gleam of crazed depravity in his eyes.

Muerrto sneers at the cold killer. Killing without purpose serves nothing, forwards no one's goals. Selfish behavior - behavior of which the Family does not approve. It was too bad flea was insane, he'd make a nice addition to the Family.

"Sorry flea, but there's only room for one scumbag in this town", says Muerrto, raising his Colt .45, aiming it at flea's heart.

flea grins evilly as the gunshot rings across the village square. The force of the impact drives flea back and to his knees, yet he manages to miraculously survive. A high, evil cackle soon takes the place of the gunshot ringing across the square.

"I love bullet-proof vests! I've been wearing one ever since someone other than me started killing my sheep!". The gleam in flea's eyes is sharper now, a malevolent look of hate has tinted the madness in his eyes.

"Too bad a vest won't stop a shot to the head", Muerrto intones almost as if this was all beneath him.

flea's expression suddenly matches that of the glint in his eyes. He charges at Muerrto, a scream of raw, soul-wrenching hate issuing from him like the wail of some banshee.

A second shot rings out, and flea's blood mingles with that of Nelly's. Muerrto turns and walks off, like some black gunman from the American West. Now, he would rebuild, and remake this arm of the Family in his own image...

Nelly632, Townie

, Knifed Night 5.

somestrangeflea, Serial Killer

, Shot Day 6.

Muerrto, Mafia Roleblocker

Great game to Muerrto and flea for making it that far, but I have to tip my hat to vampy. He figured out the best strategy for the town on Day 4, and wasn't afraid to sacrifice himself to give the town a chance, however small, to win. I'm putting vampy in for the best Town Play scummy award for that move. Great job!

The worst thing that could have been done in that situation was to let the conversation go on the way it did. It allowed Muerrto to slip up twice and tell flea, with 99% accuracy, who the last mafia was (although from the night choices I don't think flea believed it). Nelly, you should have hammered when vampy presented the strategy to limit the amount of talk the scum/sk could use to deduce who was who. Other than your frustrated townie play, that was your biggest mistake.

Muerrto had a Freudian slip in post 726:

Shrug, IMO DO, myself, Hjalti, and Vampdog are cleared at the moment

Uh, why?

Because we're nowhere near LYLO right now with 1 scum floating. So since Aimee called out Vampdog and Hjalti and DO claimed cop they're currently cleared. What part of that is difficult to grasp?

Bolded for emphasis. He states with certainty that there's only 1 scum left, which raised my eyebrows, but I don't see that anyone else caught onto this.

The other huge error that jumps out at me was d_o's claim on Day 1. Way too early of a claim, and as you can see from the night actions it neutered him and effectively turned him into a townie for the entire game.

I honestly thought that the town would have an easier time, but the SK and Mafia made some really lucky kills (such as targeting SeraphicMirth before she could tell everyone the guilty result she would have gotten about Muerrto). Very interesting how it all worked out. The end game was interesting, and I was almost certain that the scum were going to win, because there was no way for flea to stop Muerrto from killing, but Muerrto could roleblock him on any night.

Overall, a great game everyone. Thanks for playing!

I've seen several with 4, and 1 with 5. With all the town power roles I was considering doing 4 scum, but I just made one scum investigation immune and another a RBer and that helped to balance it out. - Mod

I'm noticing a trend with the SKs in your games, Vel...

Actually, that role for SK is fairly standard. I checked with a few of the experienced game Mods here before I first used the role in our off-site game, and that's a typical set of rules for a SK.

Ah. Well, that's not

my

fault, now, is it?

I don't want to whine between the hammer of day 3 and the beginning of day 4 there was less then 72 hours during the weekend. I am aware that the rules of this particular game say each absence of 48 hours should be noted and I forgot to rewrite in my signature that I don't play weekends, but in another game it was stated that nights during weekends last longer. Is it common that mods make such a short nights?

This explains why I didn't get a night choice in night 3. But I doubt I would have chosen death_omen, although I was really putting the mafia role blocker theory up front. Muerrto's implicit denial of that theory was a scumtell, in hindsight.

Great game muerrto!

In retrospect, I should have let the deadline go another 24 hours since it was the weekend. I don't like to make deadlines longer than 3 days, since it gets boring waiting for people to make up their minds, and 3 days is long enough to make decisions I think. In the future though, I'll be careful about instituting deadlines that occur on the weekends.

And Muerrto, your play *was* different this time around. Not overtly, of course, but it was different. Your attacks were much more subtle this go around, although I'm not sure whether that's due to you being scum or the fact that you're gaining more experience in the forum version of the game and are starting to naturally tone down and be less aggressive overall. I'm leaning toward the latter


I'm glad everyone enjoyed the game, I had a great time modding.
