[JDodge]

Rules (Originally taken from Open 12. Modified heavily.)

1.) This game is nightless. Day 1 will begin as soon as everybody has picked up their role PM.
2.) During the day you can vote for a player that you think should be lynched. Votes must be in the form Vote: Player otherwise they won't be counted. It is not necessary for players to unvote before switching their votes.
3.) When a player reaches a majority of votes, they are lynched. I will reveal their role, and the game will move into the next day. Players can still talk during "twilight".
4.) If discussion is lagging or the day is dragging, I may set a deadline. Only half the normal number of votes will be needed to lynch someone at deadline. If there are two or more people tied for most votes at deadline, the one who reached that number of votes first is lynched.
5.) No talking to other players, dead or alive, outside of the thread, unless your role permits it.
6.) Once dead, you stop posting. A "bah" post is fine though.
7.) If you have any questions, feel free to PM me.
8.) Try to post at least once every 48 hours. Treat the game as a committment. If you go inactive, you will be replaced.
9.) I'll try to post votecounts every page. Feel free to ask for a votecount at any time. I may make mistakes. Don't be afraid to point them out.
10.) Don't quote any PMs you recieve from me, under penalty of death.
11.) Avoid excessive profanity, flaming etc.
12.) Have fun!

Game-Specific Rule

: If the Godfather of the mafia dies, the goon dies too.

ROLES

MAFIA

You are a member of the mafia. The godfather is XXXX, and the goon is YYYY. If the godfather is lynched, the goon dies as well.

You win when you have eliminated all non mafia roles, or when nothing can prevent this.

TOWNIE

You are a Townie. You have no special abilities.

You win when all Mafia and the lyncher have been eliminated.

LYNCHER

You are the lyncher! You are trying to get ZZZZ lynched. They do not know that you are out to get them.

You win if/when you lynch ZZZZ.

[JDodge]

It is now Day 1 - 4 to lynch.

[JDodge]

IMPORTANT

It has come to my attention that the town also has to lynch the lyncher to win. It was my mistake that this was not originally included in the rules as well as the townie PM, and I am sorry for any inconvenience this might have caused. I will update the rules/roles in the second post with this change.

mod

question: If the lyncher dies and then the target dies later, does the lyncher still win? The lyncher still accomplishes his/her task, but is already dead and ostensibly out of the game...

No. The lyncher must be alive to win.

Vote Count:

Ms Piggy- 4 (distad, pickemgenius, mneme, Battle Mage)
mneme- 1 (Ms Piggy)

Not voting (1): Qman

4 to lynch.

The town decides to get rid of Ms Piggy after all. They decide to do so by roasting over an open fire. Mmmmm, pork. Unfortunately, she was a moist and delicious

townie

.

DAY 2, 5 ALIVE, 3 TO LYNCH

[JDodge]

Expect a deadline in the next couple of days if this game doesn't get moving again.

[JDodge]

Prodding Qman and setting a deadline for 1:45 PM EDT on August 22nd.

[JDodge]

Vote Count:

mneme - 2 (pickemgenius, distad)
pickemgenius - 1 (Battle Mage)

Not voting (2): Qman, mneme

3 to lynch.

Searching for a replacement for Qman.

[JDodge]

Xyzzy replaces Qman.

[JDodge]

Vote Count:

mneme - 3 (pickemgenius, distad, Battle Mage)

Not voting (2): xyzzy, mneme

Aaaand that's a lynch!

You decide to hang mneme from the old oak tree just outside of town. As his body swings, xyzzy pulls out a knife and stabs...

...himself. Straight through the heart. A quick search shows that mneme was the

Mafia Godfather

, and xyzzy was the

Mafia Goon

.

DAY 3.

[JDodge]

Prodding Battle Mage and pickemgenius.

[JDodge]

Ze Final Vote Count

:

distad (2) - (Battle Mage, pickemgenius)
Battle Mage (1) - (distad)

You decide after a long day's deliberation that distad should hang. He was a

townie

. But who was it that was trying to lynch him?

...


The answer is nobody. Pickemgenius was the

target

, and Battle Mage was the

lyncher

. Since a lynch can no longer be achieved, Battle Mage has failed to lynch his target. Town wins.
