Newbie Game 720 -- Game Over!

Post Post #0 (ISO) » Wed Dec 17, 2008 9:03 am

Post by Yaw »

There's danger and crime in Calzone (home of small, defenseless newbies), and it's up to the nine of you to figure out whodunnit.

Players:

Charrat
insanepenguin02
magisterrain
Azhrei


Vamparific*, Townie, lynched Day 1.
LongShanks, Townie, killed Night 1.
Benmage (replacing Erato), Mafia Goon, lynched Day 2.
qwints*, Townie, killed Night 2.
jayfin3 (replacing T-Rex), Mafia Roleblocker, lynched Day 3.

IC Players have been asterisked for easy identification.


Setup:

This game uses the 9-player setup called F11, which consists of four possibilities:
  • 1 Mafia Goon, 1 Mafia Roleblocker, 1 Sane Cop, 1 Doctor, 5 Townies.
  • 1 Mafia Goon, 1 Mafia Roleblocker, 7 Townies.
  • 2 Mafia Goons, 1 Sane Cop, 6 Townies.
  • 2 Mafia Goons, 1 Doctor, 6 Townies.
One of these was chosen totally at random, as were all role assignments.

Of course, this would all be a lot easier if you weren't so sure that some of you haddunit. Two of you, in fact, though you're not sure who else is what. Here are the possibilities:

Mafia:
The Mod wrote:You are a , along with your partner _________ (who is simply a Goon). Your goal is to eliminate the pro-town players so that only your side remains; you win if this happens. During the Day, try to blend in with the rest of the players, and get someone lynched.

You may talk with your partner at Night, and send me a choice via PM of who you would like to kill/roleblock (your team can do both so long as you live).

Note: You may talk with your partner privately during confirmations to plan strategy, but no night actions will take place until Night One.

You may talk with your partner at Night, and send me a choice via PM of who you would like to kill (if your partner also lives, they can send in a separate choice to roleblock someone).

Note: You may talk with your partner privately during confirmations to plan strategy, but no night actions will take place until Night One.

During the Day, try to blend in with the rest of the players, and get someone lynched (if that someone is not your partner or yourself, that will make things much easier). You may talk with your partner when it is not Day, and send me a choice via PM of who you wish to kill.

Town:
The Mod wrote:You are the , and you can protect people from harm. Each Night, you may send me a choice via PM of who to protect; if they come under attack by the Mafia, they will live. You win if the scum are eliminated, so choose wisely at Night, and try to lynch correctly during the Day.

Note: Doctors are 100% effective in Newbie Games (the person you protect will never die on the night they are protected), unless you are roleblocked. You may not protect yourself.

Note: Cops always get a correct result in Newbie Games (no sanity issues), unless you are roleblocked. You cannot investigate yourself.

Even though many games start with Night, Newbie Games begin with Day once everyone has confirmed that they understand their role. Scum are allowed to talk by PM in the pre-game stage, but no other "night actions" may be taken.

The Rules:
(Stolen from MeMe, then modified)


Procedures:

• Do your best within the rules to attain your win condition.
• Votes must be in bold (
Vote: IS
). 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 a requirement – every vote will count -- but it makes vote counting easier and clearer for other players to read.
• Lynches 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.
• If the game is stalling, or a game day is taking an inordinate amount of time (generally considered to be over a month), I will impose a deadline. Failure to reach the normally required number of votes to lynch before the deadline will result in no lynch.

Illegal Acts:

• The game is not to be discussed outside of the thread (unless you are scum, and then only at night with your partner). This includes strategy advice. Don’t worry, we’ll have time to discuss strategy after the game.
• Once you have been killed, stop typing.
• Don’t edit/delete previously submitted posts.
• Don’t use smaller-than-normal text, invisible text, or any other board tag-related way of encoding extra information in your posts.
• Don’t quote any PMs from me in the game.
• If something is illegal to do, it is also illegal to fake (for example, posting a made-up mod PM).

Activity Requirements:

• If you have a night choice to make, it is due by the posted deadline. I will mod-prod if necessary at least 12 hours prior to a night deadline, but 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 and/or PM me. Treat this game as a commitment. Be considerate – don’t leave us hanging.
• I will send out automatic prods to any player that has not posted for 5 days (and has not otherwise provided notification). I expect prods to be responded to either by PM or a post in thread within 48 hours. Failure to do so will result in replacement.
• Remember, it’s a game. It’s supposed to played. It’s supposed to be fun. Do your part.

If you see something you don't understand,
ASK!
Newbie games are here for people to learn and understand; either I or one of the other players will respond to your question. If it has to do with your role, feel free to PM me directly.

Roles are now out. Please confirm that you have received your role in thread. Any questions about your role should be directed to me by PM. We'll begin as soon as we have a full complement.
