Mini 485: Formula One (Game Over)

[JDodge]

Game Over.

Formula One: The world's most expensive sport. The top of the motorsports ladder, so to speak; a phenominal show of exotic vehicles and supremely talented drivers from all over the world.

There's been something amiss lately, though; a series of bizzare incidents, if you would. People have been disappearing one-by-one-by-one. Why? Nobody knows. Except the higher-ups, who have decided to play a little game with you. They want you to gather and vote for one person whose FIA Super License will be suspended.

And so it begins: Mafia Formula One.

Still running (5):

Shanba

(replaced Xdaamno, Polter)

KaleiÐoscøpe

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

1.) This game starts with day. 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 night phase. Players can still talk during "twilight".
4.) This game has strict deadline rules. Days will last 2 weeks, nights will last 72 hours. Exceptions may be made.
5.) No talking to other players, dead or alive, outside of the thread, unless your role permits it.
6.) Once you are dead, 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, both in game and in real life. I'm serious, I WILL hunt you down if I have to.
11.) Avoid excessive profanity, flaming etc.
12.) Have fun!
14.) The town win condition is as follows: You win when everyone else is dead.
15.) All townie PMs are in the following form: You are rolename,

Townie

. You're a good driver; flavor. Unfortunately, (this means that) you have no special abilities.

16.) Don't reference ongoing games.

[JDodge]

Roles are out.

No need to confirm; day 1 will start as soon as everyone has picked up their role PM.

[JDodge]

It is now Day 1.

Deadline is 12:44 PM EDT, August 20th.

You gather around, pointing fingers. Eventually, after a few small disputes about who should do what, you put in for SPAG's Super License to be suspended.

Unfortunately, Jenson Button was a mere

IT IS NOW NIGHT ONE

CHOICES ARE DUE BY 11:23 PM EDT AUGUST 12TH

[JDodge]

Since there's a good chance that I will be busy this weekend, I am extending the deadline by 24 hours.

CHOICES ARE DUE BY 11:23 PM EDT AUGUST 13TH

Day will not start until after the deadline.

[JDodge]

F1 suffered another tragedy at the Malaysian Grand Prix as Robert Kubica was involved in a violent - and fatal - accident.

Unfortunately, Robert Kubica - also known as Paradoxombie - was your

Paradoxombie - Robert Kubica,

It is now

Day 2

I'm going to give you an extra 3 days onto your deadline due to me being sick. Your deadline is now 11:26 AM, August 28th.

[JDodge]

Roach replaces deadscilent.

[JDodge]

Less than 24 hours until deadline.

[JDodge]

Mod

, what are the deadline rules?

I knew I was forgetting something.

Whomever has a majority, as long as it is more than half of the number of votes needed to lynch (currently 4). In case of a tie the first person to reach that number of votes is lynched.

[JDodge]

Vote Count:

Polter - 3 (SirWario, ChaosOmega, DeathSauce)
DeathSauce - 3 (discordian algorithm, Zindaras, pulsewidth)
discordian algorithm - 1 (KaleiÐoscøpe)
pulsewidth - 1 (IH)
KaleiÐoscøpe - 1 (Roach)

Not voting (1): Polter

6 to lynch.

Roughly... 45 minutes (I think) to deadline. I am considering a deadline extension so that Polter has a chance to post before the day is over. I'll make the decision soon.

[JDodge]

I *was* quoting the deadline rules that JDodge posted last page. I will post them again:

Whomever has a majority, as long as it is more than half of the number of votes needed to lynch (currently 4).

In case of a tie the first person to reach that number of votes is lynched.

Note the bolded. If there is a tie, which there is right now, then the first person to reach that number votes (Polter) will be lynched. At least, that's how it reads to me. Or is it that the tie would have to be at 4 votes? Mod, can you please clarify?

You need to get at least 4.

In other news, the deadline is extended to 11:26 AM EDT on August 31st.

Roach hasn't responded to his last prod. Oman will be replacing him.

The paperwork was filed...

The necessary info was on its way...

The drivers had come to a decision...

Their time had almost run out...

And so BMW Sauber was left without its drivers, due to the suspension of Nick Heidfeld,

townie

...

pulsewidth, Nick Heidfeld,

It is now Night Four. Deadline is 10:01 PM EDT, October 5th.

[JDodge]

It was another fatal accident in France...

Something went wrong. Terribly wrong.

There's no reason for Giancarlo Fisichella's car to have done that. Just veered straight into the barrier at those speeds.

The only explanation was sabotage. But whom? I mean, poor Shanba, the

cop

was dead, leaving just 4 drivers to face the end.

Who would have the

experience

, the

knowledge

to do such a thing?

Not Fernando Alonso, AKA SirWario,

roleblocker

. He had an incident at the Nürburgring.

Not Felipe Massa, AKA Oman,

townie

. He had an incident in Turkey.

No, it was David Coulthard, AKA Zindaras, and Jarno Trulli, AKA KaleiÐoscøpe.

Fitting that in his last year, Coulthard would get that championship that eluded him for so long, with Trulli narrowly missing the title.

Of course, he would be the last F1 Driver's Champion, just as Toyota would be the last F1 Constructor's Champion.

All was silent. An era was over.

[quote]You are Lewis Hamilton,

SK

. The fans are so enthralled with you, you might as well be racing by yourself; they'll hardly notice if you start getting rid of the other drivers here and there. You might even set a few more records in the process.

Each night you may send me the name of one person, who will have a little "accident".

[JDodge]

Oman, I don't understand your hammer vote. How did you come to the conclusion that the teammates weren't in the game? Just so you know, I was telling the truth; my role PM stated that Robert Kubica was, in fact, my teammate.

Yeah, sorry about that; somehow I subconciously inserted flavour that lead to the whole teammates thing, which was unfortunately escalated by the fact that the players with roles that did have teammates in the game were the only ones that mentioned teammates. My mistake.
