Open 28 - Quack Mafia. OVER! But who won? before 466

[Aimee]

Quack Mafia

Mod: Aimee/Thesp

Deadline:

Monday October 9.


Quack Mafia is an open setup featuring

three Mafia, six Doctors and three Quack Doctors

. The Quack Doctors aren't told they are quacks, and instead think they are doctors (they will receive the doctor PM). If a quack targets another doctor, the doctor will die instead of being protected. The quack's killing does not affect Mafia members. If a quack targets another quack, the latter quack will be killed.

For more information about the setup, use the following link:

Role PMs

3 players will receive the Mafia Role PM:

You are a member of the Mafia with XXXXXXXXXX and YYYYYYYY. You may talk with your partners at night. Have one person from the group PM me the name of the player on behalf of the mafia. The named player will be killed.

You win when at least half of the living players are mafia, or when nothing can prevent the same.

9 players (the Doctors plus the Quack Doctors) will receive the Doctor Role PM:

You are a Doctor. Each night, you may PM me the name of another player. That player will be protected from a single kill effect that night.

You win when all threats to the town have been eliminated.

Rules

(Shamelessly stolen from yellowbounder.)

The Basics

[0] The mod supposed to be always right. If you see something that disagrees with that, then PM me. I'm only human.
[1] DO NOT quote your role PMs directly – you must paraphrase the wording. If you are unsure as to what is acceptable, ask me via PM.
[2] PM messages to and from the mod are private. Quoting these is a modkillable offense.
[3] Your votes and unvotes must be in bold (

Vote: Aimee

)
[4] You must unvote before you can change your vote. (

unvote, vote: ChannelDelibird

)
[5] You may not discuss the game outside this thread unless your role permits you to. If someone approaches you to discuss the game without me telling you they can do so please report it to me.

Lynching, Twilight and Deaths

[6] Once you are dead you may not post, except for a single post consisting of “bah, go town/scum” or something similar. No death FoSes OR "Remember who I said was scum" are allowed. You're dead. Stop talking.
[7] Once a lynching vote has been cast, you're in Twilight. Posting is prohibited, even if the thread's not locked yet. I'll permit an honest mistake.
[8] A modkill takes the place of the day's lynch.

Deadlines and Inactivity

[9] A deadline may be imposed by the mod if things are slowing down. What happens at deadline will be specified, if and when a deadline is set.
[10] You've made a commitment to the game, so please follow it through, and post.
[11] If you want a player prodded, please request so in thread. I will also prod any players if and when I feel it is appropriate.
[12] Failure to pick up your prod in a certain amount of time (48 hours on average, longer at weekends), will result in replacement.

Behavior

[13] Leave any grudges at the door. Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
[14] I have no problem with codes, but invisible type or small letters are not allowed. Period.

Nights

[15] Once all night choices are in, the next day will dawn. So do not send in your nightchoice, until you're happy for the next day to begin.

Miscellaneous

[16] When addressing the mod, try bolding your comment, so it will definitely be noticed.
[17] Have fun!

[Aimee]

After what seemed to be a quiet night, the inhabitants of a small town surrounded by forests and mountains met as a group in the Town Square. A horrible sight lay in front of them - the body of FeRnAnDo. A quick search of his body revealed medicines and drugs, as well as his qualifications that allowed him to be a doctor in the village. The villagers looked at each other - there were still three members of the Mafia within their group.

FeRnAnDo (Doctor) - Nightkilled Night 0.

The villagers had a chance to lynch one of their number.

It is now Day One. With 11 alive, it takes 6 to lynch.

[Aimee]

also when the Mod posts deaths, is they anyway to disinguish between a Quack death and a mafia hit?

No. The killer, or killers, of a target will remain ambigious.

[Aimee]

But you could just tell

me

, right Aimee? In exchange for eternal Merthuggles and stuff, y'know?

Despite how tempting Merthuggles are, I got to keep these things secret!

[/i]

[Aimee]

Prodding AmeliaLi and Indy. Also, try to pick up the content, people. You don't want a deadline warning, I hope.

[Aimee]

That makes 3 of us...

Mod:

If a quack and a regular doctor target a doctor, will that doctor die or will he live since he's been protected? I know it's an odd question, but still.

i expect the 2 counteract each other...

BM is our genius of the day.

[Aimee]

Aimee is it worth me asking whether Fernando's protection would have worked on anyone? I'd guess usually it would so without him being able to tell us, cos he's dead obv we're still going to be none the wiser 100%.

Yes, his protection would have worked.

mod: may we assume FeRnAnDo was no quack from the night scene?

I cannot reveal this. The decision is that both Doctors and Quacks will be labelled "Doctor". In short, there is no way to work out from the night scene whether FeRnAnDo was a Doctor or a Quack.

[Aimee]

Dral has asked for a replacement. I'm finding one.

[Aimee]

Miss Piggy replaces Dral.

[Aimee]

~N9V~ replaces AmeliaLi (who requested replacement). Welcome him!

[Aimee]

MOD

: Are the people killed by quack docters and those that are killed by mafia killed in the same way (I mean no way of telling the killings apart, Unlike a SK and Mafia.)

The killer will remain ambigious. For example, there is no way of you knowing how FeRnAnDo was targetted.

I would like to remind all players also that all Quacks and Doctors will be referred to as "Doctor" upon death.

Stewie replaces theopor_COD.

After discussing for hours on end, the villagers finally decided to string up d3sisted. As he was dragged to the gallows, he continually protested his innocence. But you all kept going, somestrangeflea pushing him the final step towards the gallows.

After a slow and quiet few minutes, you realise he is dead, and inspect his body. You find medical supplies and his doctor qualification, and looking into the faces of the others, you realised that d3sisted was either a doctor or a quack, but more importantly an innocent.

d3sisted (Doctor) - Lynched Day 1

As the night fell upon the village, it was time for everyone to get home. But fear was in everyone's hearts as they made their protections... or kills.

It is now Night 1. Please send me your nightchoices by Friday 7th September. If replacements weren't given the Night 0 protection choices of their predecessors, send me a PM and I will inform you of them.

[Aimee]

The wind and rain of the morning symbolised what the villagers knew had been a horrible night. Struggling into the Town Hall, they found the body of Vel-Rahn Koon lying motionless ahead of them. Searching his body reveals his certificate of medical practice - he was a certified doctor.

Glancing out the window, you see another body in the Public Gardens - the body of Hjallti lying next to some rather battered bigonias. On closer inspection, you find that he too was a certified doctor.

The villagers knew it would be a difficult day ahead - they wanted to get the mafia out of their town.

Vel-Rahn Koon (Doctor) - Killed Night 1
Hjallti (Doctor) - Killed Night 1

Day 2 commences. With 8 alive, it takes 5 to lynch.

[Aimee]

Pick up the activity unless you want a deadline, folks.

Roach has been prodded.

[Aimee]

Once roach posts we can start to review (and more importantly) read other's reviews.

ugh, this game and it's replacements...

MOD, is update on the prod?

He has 36 hours to post in thread otherwise he will be replaced.

[Aimee]

Sigh.

He hasn't picked up his PM. Now searching for a replacement for Roach.

[Aimee]

mneme replaces Roach. Yay!

[Aimee]

Hey guys. I'm going to away setting up at college for the next few days, so I'm leaving you in the capable hands of Shanba! Make sure the activity gets better, otherwise you'll be getting a deadline on my return.

[Aimee]

Honary Hitchhiker has requested replacement. Now searching.

[Aimee]

Everyone except curiouskarmadog and mneme are being prodded.

Pick up the activity folks, or a deadline approaches.

[Aimee]

dasquian replaces Honary Hitchhiker effective immediately. Yay!

One more gap where there are no posts for 24 hours and there will be a deadline (non-retractable).

[Aimee]

You all have decided to string up JDodge, after he adamantly advocated that the town didn't lynch anyone that day. Instead, they decided to lynch him instead.

After his rather grotesque death, you search his body. To your horror you find needles, and you find his medicine practioner papers.

JDodge (Doctor) - Lynched Day 2

It is now Night 2. Deadline for night-choices is Monday 9th October.

[Aimee]

Oops! Since Monday is actually the 8th, I am giving until

Tuesday October 9

for nightchoices.

[Aimee]

You wake up solemnly - everyone knows things are getting bad.

Sure enough, viciously killed next to the grocery store was somestrangeflea. His attackers had obviously been merciless.

A quick inspection reveals that he had his medical practioner certificate and his needles. He was a doctor.

somestrangeflea (Doctor) - Killed Night 2

After the chaos had subsided, everyone stood together.

"So," Tarhalindur said, "shall we try and actually kill a scum today?"

There was an awkward silence.

"Actually," Stewie said, with a hint of malice, "we had something different in mind."

"Yeah," agreed mneme, "we're fed up of trying to lynch mafia. Let's keep getting townies instead."

Tarhalindur, JordanA24 and curiouskarmadog looked at each other nervously. It seemed now that the Mafia really had overtaken the town.

Tarhalindur (Doctor) - Endgamed
JordanA24 (Doctor) - Endgamed
curiouskarmadog (Doctor) - Endgamed

Mafia (Stewie, mneme, dasquian) wins!

[Aimee]

Here were the nightchoices:

The quacks were indeed Tarhalindur, Jordan and d3sisted/Dral

Night 0

Mafia targets JordanA24 (fails)
JordanA24 targets Mert/SSF (fails)
Indy/Tar targets CKD (fails)
Dral/d3sisted targets Fernando (succeeds)

AmeliaLi/VKR protects JDodge
CKD protects no one
Fernando protects Dral/d3sisted
Hjallti protects Jordan
Mert/SSF protects CKD
JDodge protects Mert/SSF

Night 1

Mafia targets nobody
Jordan targets VKR (succeeds)
Tar targets Hjallti (succeeds)

VKR protects Tar
CKD protects JDodge
Hjallti protects Stewie
SSF protects JDodge
JDodge protects SSF

Night 2

Mafia targets SSF (succeeds)
Tar targets SSF (succeeds)
Jordan targets nobody

CKD protects Stewie
SSF protects mneme

---

The game was balanced, definitely. The only thing I would probably change is I would start with a Day Start.

Town lost out most due to inactivity, since basically everyone had to be replaced. That said, the Mafia lost out too - all the Mafia were replaced several times. Further, on Night 1 if they had targetted Hjallti, the town would have been in lylo. This was quite a costly scum mistake.

Hope everyone joins me for my new games coming up (a large normal and a mini theme), and thanks for playing and (hopefully) enjoying!
