Newbie 334: Over

Post Post #0 (ISO) » Wed Mar 28, 2007 12:55 pm

Post by MeMe »

What a nasty little town this has become. Mafia have arrived and are systematically gunning down the nice townfolk. What should decent, smart people do?
MOVE
, of course. What are YOU gonna do? Try to figure out who the bad guys are and lynch 'em during the daylight! I'm not kidding, folks. That's the plan. Deal with it.

Alive (4)

pickemgenius
replaces Got Tonkaed
(Townie)
theopor_COD (Townie)
UltimaAvalon (Doc)
Yosarian2
replaces Tyfo
(Townie)

Dead (3)

undo (replaces Jules)
Mafia
- lynched Day 1
Arkest (replaces lossy
Cop
- killed Night 1
DaveMcW (replaces CountArach)
Mafia
- lynched Day 2

No current deadline


~~~~~~~~~~~~

One of the following four set-ups is used for this game:

a) 2 mafia, 1 cop, 1 doc, 3 townies
b) 2 mafia, 1 cop, 4 townies
c) 2 mafia, 1 doc, 4 townies
d) 2 mafia, 5 townies

Note: in view of the number of players, we will start in the day phase, although most larger games start with a night. The mafia will be allowed to communicate pre-game, though no role will submit choices until Day 1 is over.


Possible roles:

You are the mafia
. You may only talk with each other during the game's "night," not during the "day." You let me know before the night's deadline who will be your victim. You win the game when all the other players are dead.

You are the cop
. Every "night" before the deadline you send me a message with a name of your choice, and I will let you know whether that player is mafia or not. You are not allowed to communicate with any of the other players outside the thread. You win the game when the mafia are dead.

You are the doctor
. Every "night" before the deadline you send me a message with a name of your choice, and that player cannot die if attacked by the mafia that night. You cannot heal yourself. You are not allowed to communicate with any of the other players outside the thread. You win the game when the mafia are dead.

You are a townie
. You are not allowed to communicate with any of the other players outside the thread. You win the game when the mafia are dead.

The Rules
:
  • Votes must be in
    bold
    . If you do not bold your vote, it will not be counted.
  • Please be attentive and
    unvote
    , if necessary, before casting a new vote. This is not
    required
    , but I’d appreciate it.
  • Executions will require a simple majority of votes. Once a player has reached the necessary majority, his pleas are useless and any attempts to unvote will be unheeded. You may
    vote: no lynch
    – majority votes of this kind are necessary to end the day without a death.
  • The game is not to be discussed outside of the thread unless your role specifically states that you may do so.
  • Once your death scene has been posted, you’re dead. Stop typing.
  • Don’t edit/delete previously submitted posts
  • Don’t quote any PMs from me.
  • If you have a night choice to make, it is due by the posted deadline. I will not wait for you – if you do not submit a choice to me, tough! No choice will be made.
  • If you anticipate being unavailable for more than a 48-hour period, please post a notice to that effect in the thread.
    Treat this game as a commitment. Be considerate – don’t leave us hanging.
  • Remember, it’s a game. It’s supposed to played. It’s supposed to be
    fun
    . Do your part.

Heh. I was going to vote myself anyway, claiming it to be the most random of random votes I could think of, and then I read the sig. I found it too funny to be a coincidence

Unvote, Vote: UltimaAvalon


By voting for himself, he is trying to make himself look innocent, hoping no one else would vote for him, thinking that he is just an expendable townie.

I think I'll keep my vote where it is for now, as I believe nay other action I take would only make me look more suspicious.

I believe self-voting is more WIFOM than anything else, as I can really see no valid reason for a scum to vote for himself

So dear Jules, can it be assumed your FOS was random as well as your vote?

Thanks for pointing that out. WIFOM arguments are usually a scum tactic used to distract the town. I would vote for you, but incredibly, you haven't changed your vote from yourself which means I would be putting you at -1 on page 1. Surely WIFOM or not, you should have unvoted by now?

My take on it is that UA is waiting for some poor unsuspecting townie to do just that, place the third vote, then he can jump on him.

Count really jumped the gun with the whole self-voting thing, which I still view as completely harmless. Nevertheless, his posts seem to suggest a Page 1 quicklynch, which is absolutely scummy.

Although he didn't do much more than agree with Count, Theo is a more experienced player, and was wise enough to know that joining in with the voting would raise alarms that the two are scum buddies.

Not quite. while a third vote would indeed have been suspicious, my experience tells me that the most likely to be scum are the first
or
third person
and
the last to vote for the self-voter. It deviates, but had I died, the person to vote lynch -0 would've most definitely been scum
