Newbie 738: NKOTB - Game Over - Town Wins!

Post by elvis_knits »

Welcome to mafiascum! We kill eachother here for fun!

Your job is to find out who among you is evil mafia and lynch them during the day before they get a chance to kill you during the night. And if you happen to be mafia, your job is pretty much the opposite -- blend in with the town during the day, kill at night, and lie until your pants go on fire and then tell everyone you can't smell the smoke. What smoke?

Alive:

Setup:


This game uses the 9-player setup called F11, which consists of four possibilities:

a) 1 Mafia Goon, 1 Mafia Roleblocker, 1 Sane Cop, 1 Doctor, 5 Townies.
b) 1 Mafia Goon, 1 Mafia Roleblocker, 7 Townies.
c) 2 Mafia Goons, 1 Sane Cop, 6 Townies.
d) 2 Mafia Goons, 1 Doctor, 6 Townies.

One of these was chosen by random.org. The same goes for role assignments. Every outcome is equally likely.

Possible Role PM's:

(hijacked from zu_faul who stole them from CDB)

The following are the possible role PMs that may be in this game (see Setup):

Mafia Aligned:

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.

Note: You may talk with your partner privately during confirmations to plan strategy, but no kills will happen until Night One.
Town Aligned:

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.
The Mod wrote:You are the , and you can tell good from bad. Each Night, you may send a player's name to me; I will let you know if your investigation shows that they are Mafia or Town. You win if the scum are eliminated, so choose wisely at Night, and lynch well during the Day.

Note: Cops always get a correct result in Newbie Games (no sanity issues), unless you are roleblocked. You cannot investigate yourself.
The Mod wrote:You are a , and you've got no special powers at Night. No investigations, no protection, no gun to shoot people. Your only powers are the ability to post, vote, and think. Help lynch Mafia during the Day, and you will win the game, along with the rest of the Town.
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.
Talk nerdy to me.

Rules:

(stolen from Mr. Flay, with a few additions)
  • Votes must be in bold for them to count, like this:
    Vote: Werebear
    . Unvotes should also be bolded (
    Unvote: Orbiting
    ) so that I can spot them easier, but it's not required.
  • A simple majority of votes (1/2 the number of living players plus one, rounded down) will achieve a lynch and end the Day. Unvoting after that point will not save someone's life. If a deadline is imposed, the required number of votes may be lowered.
  • Twilight is the time after a lynching vote is cast and before I post the death scene. You may post during this period, but do not take anything for granted about the allignment of a player until I post the death scene.
  • Nights will last up to 72 hours, but may be shorter if all night choices are in before the deadline.
  • Dead men tell no tales. If you get killed, stop talking until the game is over.
  • Do not discuss this game with other players outside of this thread, unless your role PM specifically stated you could do so (as scum, and then only at night).
  • Do not directly quote any PMs you receive; I have already posted the roles above, but this holds true for any future messages you receive from me as well.
  • 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.
  • Treat this game as a commitment; if you're going to be gone for longer than 48 hours (not counting weekends),
    let us know
    . I will replace severely inactive players, but your fellow players may choose to lynch you themselves first.
  • Any action which would be illegal to
    actually do
    is also illegal to
    fake
    (for example, posting a
    made-up
    PM that shows a Cop result of guilty/innocent).
  • Robust cryptographyand steganography are not allowed in my games.
  • Have fun; don't be an ass;
    participate
    !
IMPORTANT: DAYS WILL HAVE AUTO-DEADLINE OF THREE WEEKS! MAKE IT COUNT!

bionicchop2's IC statement wrote: Things I will help you with to the best of my ability without any intentional deceit:
  • Game Terminology
  • MafiaScum forum mechanics (code, bolding, voting, linking, etc)
Things I should not be fully trusted on while discussing:
  • My alignment (obviously)
  • Actions and players I find scummy
  • strategies for optimal play (includes when to claim / how power roles should play / best course of action for town)
With that said, I will do my best to be respectful of all players. If I insult anybody, please let me know and I will apologize (calling you scum is not insulting you!). After the game, I will take the time to answer any questions about what happened during the game, including the items above that I may have lied about. I will try to keep my IC responses as separate posts from my game-content posts and label them as IC statements. Those will always be 100% honest answers.
The above written statement is pro-town.
