Mini 536: Heroes Smalltown. Game Over!

[Seol]

"What's going on? Is she safe?"

"There's not much we know, Mohinder" said the man in in the horn-rimmed glasses, "but the one thing I know is - Claire's safe. What I don't know, however, is what she's safe

from.

"

The gathering looked around somberly. Far from allies, they'd had to put their differences aside when they realised what a dead Candice (minus half her skull) meant. Everyone had their own agenda - be it loyalty, ambition, or just a naive desire to save the world - but all of that was secondary to dealing with the threat that was no doubt among them.

Or should that be threats? Sylar wasn't the only danger. The bullet in Nikki's head was evidence of something sinister, and disturbingly traditional, going on. Even the Primatech representatives were talking about shadowy organisations and conspiracies, as if life wasn't complicated enough.

Well then. No two ways about it, this can only end one way.

Violence.

Which is good for ratings.

PREGAME RULES:

[1] Pregame is defined as the period of time up to the point where all roles are drafted and the thread is locked.
[2] The pregame draft phase consists of each player drafting a role from the predetermined role list in turn until each player has a role. To draft, you post in the thread and state which role you would like. No player may draft a role that has previously been drafted, i.e. duplicates are not permitted. Please note there are more roles than players so at no point will any player be left without a choice about their role.
[3] No player may draft a role until all players prior to them on the role draft list have drafted their roles. There is one exception to this: if it is the turn of the player prior to them to draft, and 12 hours have passed since the previous draft, then in the interests of alacrity that player may "jump the queue". This may only be done by the player immediately after the active player on the draft list. After this point the draft continues as normal other than that the "jumped" player may draft a role at any time.
[4] Once all players have drafted a role, alignments will be distributed.

No player will be aware of their alignment prior to choosing their role.

At this point the pregame will be over and the game will start (in day).
[5] If you wish to discuss strategy during the pregame phase, I have no problems with that.

GAME RULES (please note these apply only once roles are drafted):

how to play:

[1] day lasts until one of the following happens: a player has a majority of votes, no lynch has a majority of votes, or a deadline comes. days have an automatic two week deadline. this is not revokable under any circumstances including the need to find replacements. please note that the deadline is a limit, not a target.
[2] voting is required to be in the format

vote: Seol

. the bolding is important, i make no guarantees i even read unbolded comments. quoting votes is not voting.
[3] once a player or no lynch hits a majority, it is twilight. no amount of unvoting will make any difference. you may continue to talk until i lock the thread. once I have locked the thread, you may not post - even if you have mod privileges.
[4] if deadline passes and more votes are made before i post, those votes will be counted (unless lynch majority is passed in the interim). there will be no twilight - the game will go straight to night when I return.
[5] it is not necessary to unvote, unless you wish to be voting for nobody. you're welcome to do so if you choose.
[6] once I have locked the thread, it is night. at this point, if your role allows it, you may talk to people via PM or any discussion groups i may have set up for your benefit. i will declare the deadline for night-choice submissions when i lock the thread, this will generally be of the order of 48 hours. if you do not declare your night-choice, i will choose it for you. i make no guarantees that you would like my choice. please submit night-choices.
[7] day will restart as soon after deadline as i am available, or earlier if i have received all choices.

what is considered "bad" and should not be done:

[8] do not quote anything about to the game from outside the thread. that includes PMs or parts of PMS from me, PMs from people you can talk to at night, or random observations third parties make in general discussion.
[9] do not talk about this game outside the game, unless your role permits. if your role permits, you may only talk when it is night.
[10] do not be mean. it's not nice. be civil while killing each other, or i'll get cross. just because you're bad doesn't mean you have to act like it.
[11] do not edit your posts. at all.
[12] if you're not going to be available for more than 48 hours, let me know. if you're not going to be available for more than a week, i reserve the right to find a replacement.
[13] i am of the opinion that lurking is something the town should regulate. i will prod only when requested and replace only when people have failed to respond to prods. fyi, when i prod i allow 48 hours for a response.
[14] once you're dead, you're dead. you may not talk. not even a "bah!" post.

[Seol]

ROLES: (Grey roles have not been chosen for this game)

Peter Petrelli, Role Absorber (Adele)
Whenever you are targeted by a Power, you will gain that Power and will be able to use it on subsequent nights. I will inform you of what powers you have gained as the following day starts. Each night, you can use one power which you have learned.

Nathan Petrelli, Motivator. (shatf.ed)
You can fly, which means you can get from A to B very quickly. You can carry someone whilst you fly, which means you can help someone else get to two places in a given night. Each night, you may target a player, and they will be able to use their Power twice on that night.

HRG, Jailkeeper (curiouskarmadog)
You might not have a Power, but that doesn't mean you can't do anything. The rooms below can keep someone locked up for a night. For their own good, of course - protective custody. Each nigt you can target a player, and they will be both untargetable by other players' actions and unable to use any abilities that night (note: does not restrict players from using day abilities the following day. One-shot or sacrificial abilities are not used up).

The Haitian - Dampener (DrippingGoofball, replacing JDodge)
You're a walking field of pure, distilled anti-consequences-of-evolution. You can repress the gene that lets people fly, bend time or turn invisible just by being there. As such, you can't be targetted by Powers. Furthermore, each night you can target a player and escort them, which will make them both immune to being targetted by Powers for the night and incapable of using their own Power. Note that this damps Peter's ability to learn abilities, so Peter cannot learn it, but Sylar can gain it.

Ted Sprague, Walking Bomb (mathcam)
You're radioactive, man. You're a loose cannon and you know it. You've finally got your power under control, but you've also got a bit of an explosive temper. At any point during the game - day or night - you may go nuclear, target a player and kill them in the blast. Only downside is that this will also kill you.

Hiro, Timebender
You have control over the realms of time and space. Sort of. Well, you can influence them, but you're kind of... unreliable at best. It's still really impressive though! Seriously. You have two abilities - a one-shot nightskip and a one-shot dayskip. The dayskip is a nightchoice, and will result in the night it is used on being followed immediately by another night with no day in between. The nightskip is a day choice (I must be PM'd with a request to use this prior to posting the lynch scene) which will result in the day being followed immediately by another day with no night in between. Each of these abilities can be used only once during the game.

Ando, Enthusiastic Sidekick (Cogito Ergo Sum, replacing Thestatusquo)
You're Ando, the Luigi to Hiro's Mario! And you're not particularly good at anything! Yay! You have no abilities whatsoever.

Mohinder Suresh - Networker (Cicero, replacing Zindaras)
You've been following up your late father's research, and whilst you don't have anything solid yet, you do have an irrepressible urge to discuss it with people. Each night you may target a player and invite them for discussion. From that point onwards, they will be able to talk to you at night (but not to each other).

Eden - Subliminal Influencer (Oman)
You've got a seductive glance and hypnotic genes. You can make anyone do anything you want - within reason. Each night, you may target a player and name another player. If the player you targetted chose to use a Power, they will use that Power on the named player instead. You cannot make a player target themselves.

Matt Parkman - Tracker (ZONEACE)
You can read minds. Well, you can hear thoughts - bits of them, fractured and incomprehensible. You can't get at all the details but you can certainly get something. Each night you can target a player, and you should be able to at least make out who, if anyone, they are targetting that night. Note - if you target Sylar, you will get there too late to pick up anything about the kill, and only hear about who, if anyone, he targetted with his regular ability.

Claude - Watcher (YvonneSeer)
You're invisible, when you want to be. A useful skill. The things people do when they don't think anyone's watching are the sort of things that you need to know, so it's definitely come in handy once or twice. Each night you can target a player and just, you know, hang around them a bit. You should be able to see who comes to visit them, even if you don't get a decent look at what they're doing.

DL Hawkins - Insubstantiator (Gorgon)
You can phase out. Or become spectral. Or do something, but whatever it is, it allows you to walk through walls. Which means when you want to not be somewhere, you can not be there. At night, you may choose to not be there - this will mean you cannot be targetted by any abilities. However, you can't do this indefinitely - if you phase out one night, you cannot phase out the following night.

Linderman - Doctor (The Fonz, replacing davidangelsummers)
You have a unique gift, a healing touch. You can undo all sorts of harm by the merest laying on of hands. With all the carnage going on around, this will surely be of invaluable assistance. Each night, you may target a player other than yourself, and if they have suffered a fatal injury, you can return them back to the land of the living. That is, as long as there's something to return - the damage that Sylar does to a corpse is too great for your ability to undo.

Micah - Doublevoter
You have a knack for technology. You can make computers do things they weren't meant to do. Which is particularly useful when computers are being used to track who's next to be executed via this bizarre mob rule. Each day, once per day only, you may PM me with an additional vote. Please note that once cast, this additional vote may not be altered or revoked.

ALIGNMENTS:

Town (8): You are Town. You win when there is nobody alive who is not Town and at least one Town player is left alive, even if you are dead.

Mafia (3): You are Mafia with X and Y. You may talk with them during night and night only. Each night one of you (and only one of you) may target a player and kill them. If you do, you may not use any other night or day choice your role would normally allow you to use until the following night. You win when there is nobody alive who is not Mafia and at least one Mafia player is left alive, even if you are dead.

SK (1): Despite appearances, you are Sylar. You've already eaten the brains of Candice and [X], and now you've assumed the form of [X]. Each night you may target a player and kill them and eat their brains. Doing so will mean you gain their Powers1. Furthermore, each night cycle you can use one of your abilities as well - either that of [X] or any abilites you have gained through your kills. Note that using a nightchoice (other than your kill, which is separate) will leave you unable to use any daychoices the following day.

NOTE RE: POWERS

Various roles refer to Powers. Not all night choices are Powers - specifically, the Mafia kill, Mohinder's recruit, HRG's jailkeeping and (for balance rather than flavour reasons) Sylar's kill. Certain roles interact with Powers as opposed to nightchoices - specifically, Sylar's brain-eating, Peter's absorption, Nathan's motivation, the Haitian's dampening and Eden's redirection.

So that means Sylar can't steal Mohinder's ability by killing him - however, if Mohinder (or HRG) is Sylar, then he does keep the ability (flavourwise - because the ability is dependent on them actually being Mohinder or HRG, and Sylar has already convinced the other people in the game he is them, but once it starts the dead body would be a dead giveaway it wasn't actually the real Mohinder/HRG).

Role Priority:

1) HRG's jailkeeping and DL's hiding
2) Haitian's dampening
3) Eden's redirecting
4) Nathan's motivation
5) All killing roles simultaneously
6) All other roles apart from Linderman
7) Linderman

Modus Operandi:

A lynch is described as "a lynch".
A Mafia kill is described as "shot".
A Syler/SK kill is described as "had the top of their head cut off and brains eaten".
A Ted Sprague kill is described as "killed by radiation burns".
Ted's suicide is described as "exploded".
Any action which causes a role-blocking of any sort (eg HRG, Haitian) will not notify the blocked party,

unless

that role is investigative, in which case I will deliver a "no result". I will

not

elaborate further.

Please feel free to ask questions about roles at any time, either via PM or in the thread. I will respond in the manner in which a question was asked (ie, via PM if you asked by PM, in the thread if you asked in the thread, or over Christmas dinner if you asked over Christmas dinner [realistically, the latter only applies to Adele]).

[Seol]

Current phase: Day 4.
Alive:

Adele (Peter)
cicero (Mohinder)
curiouskarmadog (HRG)
DrippingGoofball (the Haitian)
shaft.ed (Nathan)
Cogito Ergo Sum (Ando)
The Fonz (Linderman)

Dead:

Oman (Eden) - Town - Lynched day 1.
ZONEACE (Parkman) - Town - Shot night 1.
Gorgon (DL) - Sylar - Lynched day 2.
mathcam (Ted) - Town - Shot night 2.
YvonneSeer (Claude) - Town - Shot night 3.

[Seol]

One point to make that I neglected to mention earlier - once all roles are drafted, the game will

start in Day

. Feel free to discuss picks and strategy now, but you will have an opportunity to discuss once you have your alignment before the first night.

[Seol]

Seol I have a few questions.

-I remember you saying that Nathan's ability will not effect Hiro, but I couldn't recall if it will give Ted a double kill. I realize this makes no sense so I'm guessing it won't.

Correct. He can't explode if he's already exploded.

I'm guessing the people that will be effected by Nathan are: HRG, Mohinder,

Not these two - Nathan motivates Powers, and their abilities aren't powers.

Eden, Matt Parkman, Claude, Linderman and any such roles absorbed/taken by Peter/Sylar.

Yep. Note that as a special case, if Eden is motivated she cannot use her second redirect targetting Nathan, for reasons of preventing logical paradoxes.

-If Nathan targets Peter, will Peter be able to self target his motivation ability?

No. Nobody can self-motivate.

-If Nathan/Sylar and Peter both have the Motivating ability, can they use it to create an infinant loop of motivation or will the number of extra night actions be capped at 2?

Again, no. It would be a waste of time anyway.

-If Sylar kills Peter, will Sylar gain all the powers Peter has absorbed, Peter's power of absorption, or both?

Just the power of absorption. Flavourwise, Sylar absorbs abilities on the genetic level, whereas Peter's absorbed powers are a form of memory. Plus, it's too easy for Sylar to "max out" if he could steal learned powers.

Role Priority:

1) HRG's jailkeeping and DL's hiding
2) Haitian's dampening
3) Eden's redirecting
4) Nathan's motivation
5) All killing roles simultaneously
6) All other roles apart from Linderman
7) Linderman

Just want to make sure that this means if Linderman is killed his healing has no effect.

This is correct.

-Can Hiro still night skip if he is taken into custody by HRG?

Yes. The night skip is a day choice and stops the game going to night at all. He cannot dayskip however, as he is not released from custody until the day has already begun.

[Seol]

Another Nathan question.

If Nathan targets Peter/Sylar can he only use one type of ability he has gained?

Do you mean do they have to reuse the same ability on a different target (to which the answer is no), or does a motivation only allow them one additional nightchoice which can be anything from their suite of powers (to which the answer is yes - although if it's Sylar, it can't be his kill).

Also is everyone aware that the drafting phase has begun? With the speed of sign ups, I'm surprised that there isn't more activity here.

I'll PM everyone to ensure they're aware.

[Seol]

Do you mind me asking what you mean by "Drafting"

Do I select one or many?

You pick the role you want. It's only one role per player, I'm afraid. Otherwise things could get

awfully

confusing.

[Seol]

Sorry nother question.
When Eden redirects a player will they be aware they are targeting someone else?

No. Normally I inform investigative roles, but as the presence of the redirector is known, I don't feel that's necessary here.

[Seol]

Im Tiger woods....ow no, wait ..
Ando has the power of luigi..Sweet ! he can jump a little higher...waits for Gorgon(ite)

You mean Yvonneseer, right?

[Seol]

Ok, I wont be around tonight and I dont want to hold up the game. Since
Yvonneseer, cant pick two, I shall go for either 1st choice Linderman or 2nd choice Claude..I hope this is ok..

That's fine. If anyone else wants to make provisional picks on this basis, I can accept them and would even encourage this. I can also accept provisonal picks by PM.

[Seol]

oh oh oh..can I?

Certainly. Just ensure that either your list is long enough to cater for the possibility that everyone else's picks are chosen to spite you, or that you're still paying attention in case they are all taken by other players.

[Seol]

Which means DAS can be Linderman, and it's JDodge's turn.

[Seol]

Question.

What kind of bear is best?

If Sylar is DL, or has gained his ability, can he phase out and still kill on the same night?

Yes.

[Seol]

I'll take Nathan. If Nathan's gone I'll take HRG. Pretty sure TSQ wanted Micah.

For the sake of procedure, I'll wait for TSQ to confirm he wants Micah before making this official, but I've noted your pick. Nobody else has Nathan yet so if TSQ does still want Micah, you're Nathan.

[Seol]

Yet another question (sorry should have read closer, most were answered in the rules)

-If Nathan and Eden target the same person, will Eden redirect both actions, or a single one and if only one action how is it decided which one she redirects?

She will only redirect the first action.

[Seol]

The role allocation list and role descriptor for all players is now duplicated in the first post. Alignments are in the process of being sent out: it is now day 1.

[Seol]

Mod: question (sorry if this has already been asked)

since HRG does not have a power, is the Haitian immuned to my ability?

No, the Haitian's ability does not interfere with HRG's ability.

[Seol]

Seol before I start off, another Eden question. If a player choses no target can Eden force one to be made?

No. Eden redirects a Power if that player chose to use it, if they chose no action Eden's ability does nothing. FYI this was already specified in Eden's role PM as in post 3.

[Seol]

how so shea? I'd know if X targeted Y I suppose. I'm like a weak tracker.

Regardless, I'm looking right now at using it on one of the more scum-biased roles, which I cannot determine without careful study.

Mod:

Can I target myself, so that I swap with someone else?

You can choose to redirect your target's target onto yourself. So yes, you can use your ability to, for example, draw Linderman's doctor protection on to you.

[Seol]

Mod:

If Eden targets Peter on the first night, nothing will happen since he has no Power to use, but will Peter still gain her Power?

Yes.

[Seol]

, could Lindy and I hypothetically become a Circle Of Awesome Protectedness? (To whom it may concern: if I don't get a reply in the next 5 mins I might just phone and ask him, so don't be surprised if I know the answer before he posts it ).

Be more specific please.

Also, as you have clarified your intent iro the closing bracket, I see no need to edit it.

If Linderman protected me one night, could he and I thereafter protect each other?

Yes.

[Seol]

Mod:

If I influence mathcam, how long does it last for?

I presume you are asking: if you redirect mathcam and the following day he makes a daychoice, does that daychoice get redirected?

The answer is no. Only if it's a nightchoice.

[Seol]

Prod sent.

[Seol]

OK - am I correct in assuming that there has only been one real smalltown game here before?

Looking for a games with Smalltown in their title, I could only find something that's called Smalltown 2: Scrubs Mafia (Coney Island) and another game called just Smalltwon Mafia (Little Italy). Scrubs was a genuine smalltown game, but the other one was just a standard themeless mini. Also, Scrubs was a night start game, and three people got killed that night. It therefore doesn't compare with this one, as there was plenty to go on at the start of the first day.

Am I missing something here?

There have been two Smalltown games, this was the first and Scrubs was the second. The original was also a "real" Smalltown game (albeit unthemed) as it had the defining characteristic of open roles with everyone's role known, but alignment seperate from role.

As far as I know, these aren't just the only two games run here - they're the only two games run

anywhere

No underscore, Dammit!

I've done that before, I'm sure... I guess I'll learn someday.

A couple of Q's: what would a tracking result on Oman look like?

It would return who Oman chose to influence, but no details of who Oman's target was redirected to.

If JDodge were scum, and targetted someone watched by Yvonne for a nightkill, would that show up, or not? Because the watcher power wouldn't actually be targetted at him, but it is a power ability.

Yes, because JDodge would not be using his dampening ability on his kill target.

What powers fall into category six? I'm assuming investigations, what else?

Tracking, watching and networking (including by Peter or Sylar).

Concensus is a difficult thing with paranoia in the air - rarely has this been more true. Agreement was simply beyond you. Eventually, however, more eyes converge on Eden than anyone else. Eden looks back with a mix of fear and quiet resolution - she had come to expect this, accept this, and she had made her peace. This only made it all the more poignant when, having ripped her body to shreds with your bare hands, it became apparent she was in fact Town.

Oh well - can't make an omlette without breaking some eggs.

72 hours for night should be plenty, right?

Also - DrippingGoofball replaces JDodge, effective immediately.

[Seol]

Day breaks, and, well.... it could be worse.

One body. And it's all there. And it's quite a big one, too.

ZONEACE (Matt Parkman, Tracker, Town) has been shot.

With 10 alive, it is 6 to lynch.

[Seol]

Mod, since Gorgon and I both go at the same time....whose power worked first?

They would both happen simultaneously.

Also, for those who missed them, all kill MOs are in the opening posts.

[Seol]

mod, can you replace DGB, please?

No.

[Seol]

I think from the description of my power the answer is no but could you answer this one for me

Seol, if I motivate mafia will they be able to use their power and perform a NK, not just two power choices?

I think it's fairly relevant as to whether Yvonne's mafia or not.

If they performed the kill, they are unable to make any other nightchoices, and the motivation is wasted.

The crowd gathers around DL, who is glancing nervously from hero to hero eyeing an invisible line across their foreheads, licking his lips as he dons a bib and removes a brain-stained spork from his back pocket, singing himself a little song...

After a brief confer, you decide that's enough of a hint, and you hang him. Which is tricky, because he keeps falling through the rope. But eventually, you come up with a remarkably ingenious yet simple method of circumventing the issue which I won't bother to explain here, and you'll never guess what?

Gorgon was

Sylar, Serial Killer.

Well I never!

Night! You have

72 hours

I am trying to out think scum, but I guess you have a point, between the two I should have jailed Yvonne.

Mod: can someone jailed still talk at night if they have the ability to do so? If not, at what point are the stopped from talking?

For clarification - jailing prevents nightchoices. Night talk, where permitted, is not a night choice, and as such jailing has no effect on a player's ability to night talk.

Accusiations are flying everywhere, as our ragtag group of superpowered protagonists and antagonists point fingers in a flurry reminiscent of the age of disco. Much like the heyday of disco, nothing of substance or merit comes of the whole exercise, and much like disco, everyone's tired of it quite quickly. Suddenly the man in the horn-rimmed glasses stops, stock still, and raises his finger to his lips.

"Ssshhh! He's sleeping!" he whispers, and points to Linderman in the corner, who's curled up tight as a ball, sucking his thumb, fast asleep.

"Isn't that cute!" says the Haitian, "and you know what, I am all tuckered out. Why don't we just leave the decision of who to kill 'til tomorrow, and have a nice nap?"

It is now Night. Nobody has been lynched. Nightchoices ASAP please.

As you gather round each other the following morning, you are relieved to see no dead bodies. Slightly less relieved, however, to count only seven among your number - and considerably less relieved - possibly even verging onto the territory of "concerned" - to see a pool of blood forming out of a gunshot wound hanging in mid-air.

I guess that's what happens when you shoot an invisible man?

Claude Rains, Watcher, is dead. He was

town

.

With 7 alive, it is 4 to lynch.

Apologies for my absence, I've been out of the country for the weekend. Back now and keeping a close eye on the game - votecount to follow soon.

Mod, can DGB be watched if she submitted a kill? Meaning if a watcher watched Person A and DGB killed person A, can a watcher see this?

DGB cannot be targetted by powers, nor can the target

of her power

be targetted by powers. Should she be scum submitting a kill, though, that would not prevent her kill target from being targetted by powers, including watching - nor would her power prevent her from showing up on the list of people targetting that player.

Mod another question, if shafted targetted Adele, would Adele have been notified of this BEFORE she was able to submit the kill?

Due to potential conflicts with roleblocking etc, I do not inform any player that they have been motivated until all night choices have been submitted - then the motivation confirmation is provided, and 24 hours allowed for the submission of the motivated choice. Motivation does not allow an additional kill to be submitted, and submitting a kill prevents powers being used at all on a given night.

Well, obviously, that's lynch and game. Well done to the Mafia (Adele, Fonz, DGB) for a flawless victory! Not much needs to be explained about the setup, I trust?

I never actually got a nightchoice from Gorgon. When he was jailed (which would prevent any actions he'd try to take anyway) and I had all other nightchoices, I just proceeded regardless as all that was lost was the opportunity to discuss who he would have targetted postgame.

Last night, Yvonne watched shaft.ed and cicero.
