Fire
and
Ice
Mafia

Some say the world will end in
fire
,
Some say in
ice
.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor
fire
.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To know that for destruction
ice

Is also great
And would suffice.
~Robert Frost


Some don't want the world to end at all.
One of them is a powerful
insulator
;
Most are known as
vanilla townies
.
They want to lynch the scumz and live all peaceful like.

General Rules:

I know that you all already know these, but please spend the one minute it takes to read them anyways!


1 ) This is a game. It is meant to be fun! Do your part - abusing your fellow players or me will not be tolerated.
2 ) Please bold your votes. For example,
vote: Guardian
. Votes that are not bolded will not be counted.
3 ) If you wish to change your vote, bold an unvote for the player you were voting and vote for the new player you are going to be voting. For example,
unvote: Guardian, vote: YogurtBandit
. If you do not unvote in this format, your vote will not be counted.
4 ) Lynching will require a majority of the votes. You may
vote: no lynch
to decide to not lynch someone on a given day. No-lynching requires 50% or more of the votes. Once a player (or no-lynch) is lynched, the decision is final. Feel free to continue posting until the thread is locked, but unvoting before I check the thread will not prevent the player from being lynched.
5 ) If you get lynched or killed, once your death scene is posted you are dead. Stop typing, and save your thoughts for when the game is over.
6 ) Any questions, concerns, desires for me to prod, whatever PM me. The only things I will respond to in thread are your bolded votes and unvotes. Analyzing mod responses will not be a part of this game.
7 ) This game will have static 2 week day deadlines, and 72 hour night deadlines. I will grant one game-day deadline extension at most one time during the game. If the majority of the players PM me requesting a deadline extension, I will extend the day deadline for a week. At deadline, one-half the majority of the votes will be required to lynch. In case of a tie, the first player to reach that number of votes will be lynched. At deadline for nights, any choices that have not been submitted will either be counted as no choice or randomized at my discretion.
8 ) Never quote anything that I PM to you. Doing so will result in modkill and public humiliation.
9 ) If you expect to be unable to post for a 3 day period or more (weekends count as one day for this), or if you will be unable to make your night choice(s), let your fellow players know (not necessary for night choices)
and
PM me and we can work something out. If you do not communicate in advance with me
and
your fellow players and go missing, you are liable to be replaced without notice. Treat this game as a commitment and be considerate of me and your fellow players.
10 ) No small or invisible text. Do not use BBCode to gain an unfair advantage over the other players.
11 ) I am human, and I do make mistakes, especially in vote counts. If I make a mistake, notify me by PM.
12 ) Do not discuss this game outside the thread at any time, except if your role specifically allows you to do so.
Thirteenthly, This is a game. Having fun is a requirement. If you are reading this rule, have fun! Now!

The Setup


2x Fire Mafia
You are a member of the
Fire Mafia
with XXXX.

You may talk to your partner during Night. Each Night, you (as a group) may attempt to kill someone by sending a PM to the Moderator containing the name of that player.

Ice
is no more powerful than
Fire
, so the
Ice Mafia
cannot kill you! However, because
fire
can melt
ice
, if both groups target the same
player
on the same night, that
player
will not be killed.

You win when you have eliminated all non
Fire Mafia
roles, or when nothing can prevent this.
2x Ice Mafia
You are a member of the
Ice Mafia
with XXXX.

You may talk to your partner during Night. Each Night, you (as a group) may attempt to kill someone by sending a PM to the Moderator containing the name of that player.

Fire
is no more powerful than
Ice
, so the
Fire Mafia
cannot kill you! However, because
fire
can melt
ice
, if both groups target the same
player
on the same night, that
player
will not be killed.

You win when you have eliminated all non
Ice Mafia
roles, or when nothing can prevent this.
1x Insulator (doc)
You are the powerful
Insulator
.

Each night, you can target a player and protect them from a potentially dangerous temperature change - you are a doctor, and prevent them from all night kills. You cannot target yourself.

You can be
burned
by the
Fire Mafia
or be
frozen
by the
Ice Mafia
.

You win when both Mafia groups have been eliminated.
7x Normal Temperature Townie
You are a
Normal Temperature Townie
.

You like to sleep at night.

You can be
burned
by the
Fire Mafia
or be
frozen
by the
Ice Mafia
.

You win when both Mafia groups have been eliminated.

Acknowledgments


Thanks to Jdodge, who I stole a bit of the formatting for the previous post from (See Open 23). I believe he stole it from somewhere else. Such is life.
Thanks to yellowbounder, who came up with the first version of this setup, and to everyone in the Open Setups discussion who helped improve it.
Thanks to Aimee and Thesp, both of whom who helped ensure that I would get to mod this game that I was so excited about.
Thanks to
YogurtBandit, my enthusiastic co-mod
! He came up with the idea for me to find our matching avatars :). Everything that I said about me/the mod in the previous posts applies to him as well. Particularly, when I am at the beach, he will be watching over the game and doing the vote counts.
Lastly, thanks to all of you for playing - you are a great group and it should be a fun game!

...

Both mafia groups may talk pregame.
Day 1 will start 10 P.M. EST 6/28/2007 (tomorrow) or when all players confirm receipt of their roles by sending me a PM, whichever comes later. If all confirmations are not in by 10 P.M. EST 6/29/07, I will begin searching for replacement(s).

Day One Begins!


In the beginning...

In the beginning...



In the beginning...
there was
Bluesoul
. He didn't want to play and have fun, so he got
modkilled
. He was a
fake vanilla townie
. He's dead now.

There was also
Fire
.
Ice
, too. But mostly, there was
townies
. They want to lynch the scumz.


Scum, stop talking to each other. Everyone, start trying to cast one of your fellow players into eternal darkness (aka lynch them). With 12 of you still here, it will take 7 votes to do the deed.

Deadline to lynch: July 12, 10:00 P.M. EST.

Official Vote Count #2.1.


xyzzy [4] (CTD,AE,Mert,Glork)

AutumnEvenings{AE} [2](Vendagoat,MBL)
Crub [2](Stewie,Xyzzy)
Mert [1](Sefer)
PBuG [1](Wiz)
Vendagoat [1](Crub)
Not Voting[1](PBug)

Not being Voted:

CrashTextDummie{CTD}
Glork
MrBuddyLee{MBL}
Sefer
Stewie
Wizardcat

With 12 alive, It will take 7 to Lynch.

Key: {} These represent abbreviations
[] These are How many Votes on the player
() These are who is voting for the player
Players in Red are "Under Fire" and have the most votes.

---

Note:


This is something closer to the style that I will do the vote counts in, but I will leave it to YB's discretion for the week as I will be departing for the beach tomorrow. I will be there until next Sunday. Any immediate questions or concerns, PM YB, I trust his judgment and have full confidence in him.

I will likely have some access at the beach; if a lynch occurs send night choices to me and I will resolve them and start day at an appropriate time, probably 3 days after lynch occurs. Remember, you do have a deadline.

YB may choose to observe it strictly or not at his discretion, but in the future I will try to adhere as strictly as possible to not answering questions in thread, and not even acknowledging questions in thread - anything you want my direct response to, PM me about.

This is very likely to be my last post in the thread before I return from vacation - I leave you in YogurtBandit's competent hands!

The first day of creation is nearly over (
Deadline in ~80 hours
), and the scumz are all still alive. The
townies
should really cast someone into darkness before the day ends...


Official Vote Count #4.

Notes:

Hey, I'm back from vacation. The beach was great, thanks for asking.

YB, thanks, and good job while I was away!

I have prodded all those who have not posted in the last 100 hours, with especially nasty prods to those who have posted only once all game...

A few players, particularly a certain LoudMouthLee, are quite eager to get into the game, and if the players I prod do not contribute (or if they -- or anyone -- have lost interest and
want
to be replaced), that could certainly be arranged...

I remind the town that they are allotted exactly
one
one-week deadline extension for the entirety of the game, and that I will employ it if a majority of the players PM me asking for one.

3 ) If you wish to change your vote, bold an unvote for the player you were voting and vote for the new player you are going to be voting. For example,
unvote: Guardian, vote: YogurtBandit
. If you do not unvote in this format, your vote will not be counted.
It is likely that I will go with a player's intent if they unvote but do not say who they are unvoting. It is less likely that I will go with a player's "intent" if they do not unvote and try to place an additional vote.

Translation: Please remember to unvote :D.

You decide that one of you must be cast into darkness, and quick, before the sun sets! A full majority is not reached, but with some people going to bed, five people drag xyzzy to the
Pit of Eternal Darkness
and prepare to throw him in. You push, and pull, and try and throw him in. You hands are burning -- he's so hot -- he's one fire --
xyzzy
is a member of the
Fire Mafia
! Seconds after you push him into the pit, he bursts into flames and his ashes line the side of the pit...

Relieved at having lynched a mafia member, you head to bed for a much deserved rest. Well, most of you. The
Insulator
must decide to protect someone from dying, the remaining
Fire Mafia
member must decide who to incinerate tonight, and the two members of the
Ice Mafia
may discuss who to try and freeze amongst themselves. All three groups must notify me of their decision before dawn.

The sun will rise more or less
exactly three days from now
. All choices not in by then will be a no-choice, or randomized! You may change your choice after submitting it, but be sure to have a choice in by that time!

The sun rises on your small town, and you gather around the
Pit of Eternal Darkness
in the center of the village. You all remember vividly the events of last evening, and wonder what terrors were set upon your town during the night.

It is dusk, and still hard to see... but counting the heads around the pit, you notice that there are only nine of you left.


Then one of you shows up late. "Sorry guys, slept in!" he says. You are all relieved -- but still, there are only ten of you -- someone is missing.

The sun continues to rise, and you see the faces of those around you more and more clearly. You realize that Sefer isn't there. Someone points this out, and you all run to his hut.

You open the door, and find
Sefer
,
Vanilla Townie
,
frozen solid
. You all cringe in horror at the pained expression on his face. You push him to the center of the town and topple him down into the pit. You just couldn't stand leaving him there like that.

You hear the echoes of his cube bouncing off the sides of the pit for minutes after you push him in.

Silently, you all stand around the
Pit of Eternal Darkness
, deeply saddened by your loss...

With 10 of you alive, it will take 6 to lynch. Your
deadline is two weeks and one day from now
. (I added the day so the deadline wouldn't fall on the weekend). Lynch the scumz!

With 10 alive, it took 6 to lynch -- Vendagoat was lynched!

...

After yesterday's arduous and long day, you all try and get a quick move on today and search for
s
c
u
m
!

With the sun just barely rising above the distant icy mountaintops, you have already almost reached your decision -- you think that Vendagoat does not seem like a
townie


Five of you are gathering around him, and you realize you will only need one more to aid you in casting him into the pit...



However, as you gather around him, the heat becomes intense. You notice that something odd is happening to
Vendagoat
-- his skin is starting to turn red. He continues to heat up, and after one last graceful soliloquy he burst into flames. His ashes float away along the breeze, and only minutes later there is no trace of him having ever been there. You realize that he was the last member of the
Fire Mafia
.

As you watched his ashes float away on the breeze towards the distant mountain peaks, you feel somehow that in floating towards the sun he is going home.

Your gaze lowers to the icy caps of the mountains though, and you are reminded of the grim reality -- though you no longer have to deal with the
Fire Mafia
, both members of the
Ice Mafia
remain.

Shaken by this thought, you go about your daily business somberly, and go to bed not without some trepidation as to what tomorrow's dawn may bring.

You are comforted that an
Insulator
remains that must decide to protect someone from dying tonight. You are grimly aware, though, that the two members of the
Ice Mafia
may discuss who to try and freeze amongst themselves. Both groups must notify me of their decision before dawn.

The sun will rise more or less
exactly
two
days from now
. This is my discretion; I don't want day starting on a Friday; if any players have a problem with this, PM me and let me know. I may consider moving the deadline back to three days, but two days makes sense to me.

All choices not in by the deadline will be a no-choice, or randomized! You may change your choice after submitting it, but be sure to have a choice in by that time! Sleep well!
Do not lynch me.

You wake up and rush to the center of town, as you do every morning. You are in a hurry, as there is a chill in the air that makes you feel uneasy -- it is much colder than it has been in the past few days.

You look up at the sun, questioning that it is doing its job of warming you this morning -- and as your gaze passes over those ice covered mountains you are all to easily reminded that two
Ice Mafia
remain.

You reach the center of town, and gather around the
Pit of Eternal Darkness
as you are accustomed to doing every morning. In the morning twilight, it is still hard to make out the faces of those remaining, but you realize that your trepidations were not unwarranted -- there is one fewer of you gathered than there was last night.

In a few moments, your eyes become accustomed to the darkness, and you scan the faces of those around you. To your dismay, Glork is not there.

You rush to his hut, and look inside. You are awestruck by the gruesome scene.
Glork
, in a cowering pose, is icy blue and
frozen solid
from head to toe. His feet are frozen to a small circular sheet of ice surrounding him on the ground, and when one of you attempts to move him, you realize that the bond between the ice and ground is so strong that he is stuck there.

Your stomach churns at the thought of leaving him like this, and after your attempts to move him fail repeatedly, you come to the consensus that the floor around him should be melted so he can have a proper burial in the pit.

However, due to the extremely low temperature, you are unable to get a fire started, and have no choice but to shut the door and leave him there, stricken, in the hut.

As the ice did not have the same effect on him as it did on your fallen comrade Sefer, and because the ice around him was confined to such a small area, you all agree that he has to be the
Insulator
. His magicks almost allowed him to fend of the ice -- but not quite.

Horrified that your one protector is now gone from you, you return to the center of town with the solemn resolve to rid your town of the
Ice Mafia
.

With 8 of you alive, it will take 5 to lynch. Your
deadline is two weeks and 12 hours from now
. Lynch the scumz!
Do not lynch me.

With the day nearly half over (you
are under deadline
, remember) and the sun high in the sky, you
ask nicely
--
plead
-- beg on your hands and knees -- for God to give you a vote count. In my infinite benevolence and wisdom, I send you one, even though I wonder why my creations are not able to keep track of votes when their number is only eight.

A piece of paper with some writing on it floats down from the sky. It reads as follows:

Official Vote Count #13


AutumnEvenings[2](mneme, Stewie)
mneme[1](LoudmouthLee)


Not Voting[5] (AutumnEvenings, Crub, Mert, MrBuddyLee, Stewie)

With 8 alive, it will take 5 to lynch!

V/LA posting in all threads: Hey, I might post here once or twice more before going -- but FYI tomorrow I am leaving on a V/LA Thursday-Sunday. Expect me to check this and all threads Sunday evening. Hope you manage without me ;).

Y'all will be fine. If you need a VC, I am sure YB can provide. See you in a few :).

With the day nearly over (you
are under deadline
, just under 49 hours remain, remember) you do some complex math and figure out who is voting who and how many votes that means each player has. Surprisingly, half of you are not voting, and in general your activity level makes it seem as though you are rather unconcerned that a deadline approaches....

You write down your new vote count on the back of your God sent votecount...
Irreverent bastards...


Official Vote Count #14


mneme[3](LoudmouthLee, AutumnEvenings, Crub)
AutumnEvenings[1](mneme)

Not Voting[4] (Mert, MrBuddyLee, somestrangeflea, Stewie)

With 8 alive, it will take 5 to lynch!

Official Vote Count #15 -- End of Day VC


AutumnEvenings[5](mneme, Mert, Stewie, MrBuddyLee, LoudmouthLee)

mneme[2](AutumnEvenings, Crub)

Not Voting[1] (somestrangeflea)

With 8 alive, it took 5 to lynch -- AutumnEvenings was lynched!


...

With all the
Fire Mafia
dead, today you were searching for one of the two remaining members of the
Ice Mafia
.

The day was in some ways tense, some ways lackadaisical, but in the end five of you got together and decided that AutumnEvenings was the one who had to go.

You gathered around her, amidst her screamed protests. "That goat was lying!" "I must have been doctor protected!" "I had
such
a nice avatar, and the new one is awesome too!"

Alas, you did not heed her pleas.

You back her towards the pit, and push her in. As you see her falling into dark eternity, you get second thoughts. "Maybe she wasn't scum?" "Oh well." "She was kind of annoying anyways."

As you turn away from the pit, one of you yells, drawing your attention back to the black hole. Look -- she's, she's -- turning into
Ice
! Indeed,
AutumnEvenings
,
Ice Mafia
is completely frozen by the time she fades from your view, and you all take a deep sigh of relief -- you know that there is only one scum among you. You are somewhat disturbed when you hear a cracking sound below you -- it almost sounds as if her frozen body hit the stone pit wall and snapped in half -- but that is neither here nor there...

You go to bed, quite proud of you town's ability to ward off scum. Sweet dreams, all!

Well, except one of you. There is one member of the
Ice Mafia
left who may freeze one of you tonight.

The sun will rise more or less
exactly
30 hours
from now
. This is my discretion; no players in the game are V/LA, the mafia has no one to talk with, and the worst that could possibly happen is a randomized kill. If any players have a problem with this, PM me and let me know. I may consider moving the deadline back, but this makes sense to me.

All choices not in by the deadline will be a no-choice, or randomized! You may change your choice after submitting it, but be sure to have a choice in by that time! Sleep well!

You wake up, and head towards the center of town. There are six of you there, as expected... one of you was surely frozen during the night.

With a nervous feeling in the pit of your stomach, you look around, counting off your friends. All are there, except one...

You realize that
MrBuddyLee
is absent. Sure that the last member of the
Ice Mafia
did not commit suicide, you assume correctly that MrBuddyLee was a
Vanilla Townie
.

Remembering the blood curdling expression on Sefer's face, you can't bear to go to MrBuddyLee's hut, and instead assume that he is there,
frozen solid
.

With your good friend gone, you have even more resolve to find the fourth and final scum, the last member of the
Ice Mafia
.

With 6 of you alive, it will take 4 to lynch. Your
deadline is two weeks and two hours from now
. Lynch the scum!
Do not lynch me.

Posting in all threads: V/LA until Monday. Good luck without me.

Mert and mneme were prodded today, I don't think anyone else needs one, I think you are fine without a vote counter for the moment, try not to break anything while I'm gone.

See you in a few days :).

Deadline in less than 20 hours. I may not be able to check at deadline, so feel free to keep discussing, but any votes after 20:00 EST will not be counted.

2 to lynch at deadline, first to reach 2 (or 3) votes gets lynched.

Official Vote Count #18 -- End of Day VC


Mert[3](LoudmouthLee, mneme, Crub)

Crub[2](Stewie, Mert)
mneme[1](somestrangeflea)


Not Voting[0] ()

With 6 alive, it took 2 to lynch at deadline -- Mert was lynched!


...

Today, you were searching for the remaining member of the
Ice Mafia
.

You gather around the
Pit of Eternal Darkness
and begin to discuss things.

The sun rises.
The sun begins to set.
Time goes on.
You all seem really bored and don't say much.

"So, what is up with this pit anyways?" one of you finally ventures.
"Yeah, it seems really cliche," another replies.
"Oh well, I don't want to die, so we might as well push Mert in," says Crub.

And so you do.


Mert barely falls into the pit at all, and then he freezes up -- not only does he freeze, he freezes close the pit -- it is something more like a well now. Free water :D!

Oh, and he was scum.
Mert
,
Ice Mafia
, lynched.



Your town managed to survive the scum threat. You lynched scum 4 consecutive days in a row.

With gleeful joy, you all drink a cup of water from the well. And all is well.

;)

Thanks all for playing. I had a blast moding!

Some things I learned:
  • Deadlines help town.
  • Shorter games are more fun.
  • Good players/towns tend to lynch scum, even when they are initially wrong.
  • New players, not set in their ways, like Crub, can read rules and
    UNVOTE
    . :).
  • This setup is balanced something like 20%/40%/40% for town/mafia/mafia. This town played perfectly to win -- and they had to.
It was a pleasure having you all in the game.
One thing I ask
-- if there is any moding thing that could have been better/that I could improve, let me know -- I aim to please ;).

Props to the whole town, very well done. Specifically, off the top of my head, I remember LML and mneme really nailing this one, with MrBuddyLee well on his way before he died.

Ice mafia, you got a bit unlucky, you gave it a good go. Fire Mafia, I hope you got something out of it.


---
I think the night choices were obvious, except for this one tidbit:
Glork actually protected AutumnEvenings night one.
Vendagoat targeted her for kill, and she was doubly protected :).

Glork protected mneme night two, I think.


Mafia, especially Ice mafia, are free to post their discussions/PMs they sent to me. The Ice Mafia's PMs were awesome.

YogurtBandit kind of flaked, but his initial VCs were great so thanks to him. Again, thanks to everyone I already mentioned in the Opening Posts, thanks again for playing all, hope you enjoyed, and see you around :).
