Open 179: B.I.R.D. 7P (Over)

[yabbaguy]

Welcome to the B.I.R.D (Bomb Industry Research Development) Complex! In this nuclear age, having the world's top-of-the-line weaponry is essential for survival. We currently have a capacity of several hundred dedicated workers exploring new technologies to get the most bang for the buck in every explosives device we manufacture, and are also now dedicated to providing the best in human self-defense techniques against the ongoing weaponry threat. The explosives industry has grown for more demand than ever, and we remain the government's leading choice for weaponry expertise.

That's what the plaque outside the institution says.

Right now, it's far from the usual fast-paced work scene right now. Two Mafia members from out-of-country have infiltrated the B.I.R.D. Complex. Breaking and entering with a payload of explosives, they set off a multi-stage explosion throughout the building, killing all but 5 employees in the process. Realizing this, the Mafia have also bugged the security system in the place to completely lock down everybody inside, thus sealing it off from the outside world. It also nicely functions as a cellphone dead zone now.

Perhaps the two infiltrators have some information on them as to how to stop this bug they've planted in the place. If the infiltrators are killed and searched, perhaps you'll find these instructions. Thanks to this explosion, however, you've lost all memory as to who your friends and strangers are in this, *ahem*, birdhouse. Right now though, you've decided to settle on a mob justice method of getting rid of the infiltrators. It becomes plainly obvious after searching the cadavers that there's still a security patrol and a medic somewhere among the small group of you to assist in your quest to eradicate these infiltrators. However, the infiltrators still have a few spare charges left to get rid of whoever stands in their way. Stop them before they outnumber you, or these intruders will become the new heads of the B.I.R.D complex.

The issue of national security is at stake. Failure will be at a very large cost to your nation.

The Setup is Bird 7P. It is as follows:

2 Mafia Goons
1 Cop (Cannot be doc-protected)
1 Doctor
3 Townies

Respectively, here are each of the roles' PMs.

You are spies sent by your home country to infiltrate this nation's bomb research plant in order to gain control of a very vital part of their war weaponry system. Then you can take over with your own team of specialists and start wreaking havoc. Unfortunately, your preliminary bombing didn't get rid of 5 people, but at least their shock has made them forget who actually works at the plant and who is just standing in. You've smuggled a few explosives in yourself, so you're able to pick some people off at Night. Explosives are loud, in case you didn't know, so you're probably only going to get away with this murder only once per Night.

You are a

Mafia Goon

with [----]. Each Night, you are able to communicate with each other by any means and, once you're all set, submit the name of one person you want to kill.

You win when you equal or exceed the town in numbers.

Please send a PM back confirming receipt of this PM. The thread can be found {{here}}.

You are the only security patrol unaccounted for among the seven of you. Keeping this a secret would probably be an advisable move, since you know the two infiltrators are going to kill you if they find out, especially considering that your body is incapable of recovering from a blast of an explosive; not even the medic can save you if you are hit. The good news, however, is that you know of one last computer that can look up who works here and who's actually on the Most Wanted list. Thanks to its absurd power inefficency, however, you're probably not going to be able to do more than one of these searches at a time.

You are a

Cop

. Each Night, pick a person to investigate and I will tell you with "[Target] is {Guilty/Innocent}", dependent on whether they're Mafia or Town aligned respectively. You cannot be Doc protected. You win when the Mafia are eradicated before they match or exceed you in numbers.

Please send a PM back confirming receipt of this PM. The thread can be found {{here}}.

You are the only medic unaccounted for among the seven of you. Keeping this a secret would probably be an advisable move, since getting hit by one of those explosive charges will incapacitate you to the point where you can't even save yourself from your agonizing death. Otherwise, you are able to quickly rush to the victim and try to stop their bleeding and save their life. You know all the security patrols that existed before the bombing of your building were never going to hold up even if you treated them within a split second, since they're old and frail. Otherwise, this method has been foolproof on any normal human being... if you can get to them in time.

You are a

Doc

. Each Night, select a person other than yourself to protect. If they are blown up by the Mafia, they will not die. Protections will fail on the Cop automatically. You win when the Mafia are eradicated before they match or exceed you in numbers.

Please send a PM back confirming receipt of this PM. The thread can be found {{here}}.

You are a first-year employee at the B.I.R.D. complex. You have absolutely no specialization whatsoever, but as far as the other four innocents, whoever they are, are concerned, you could be the very threat that's put them into this surreal situation. Your task is to convince them of your innocence and help lead them to the Mafia who's bugged the place and is threatening to take over. Just because you're powerless doesn't mean you're necessarily useless. The logical part of your brain is still intact, after all.

You are a

Vanilla Townie

. You have no Night powers. You win when the Mafia are eradicated before they match or exceed you in numbers.

Please send a PM back confirming receipt of this PM. The thread can be found {{here}}.

[yabbaguy]

And now... rules.

1) DAYS AND VOTING

>>> Each Day, you all talk, babble, shout, get flustered, defend, dupe, dodge, and eventually Vote for players by posting in the following syntax and bold formatting:

Vote: [legible form of username]

. You can also

Unvote

to retract your vote and not reassign it. To switch your vote directly from one person to another, you may merely post

Vote: [somebody else]

. I do not need an

Unvote, Vote

, but I bet some of you by force of habit will do it anyway, so yeah. I will post votecounts as close to a daily rate as possible, barring RL struggles.

I reserve sole judgment on whether or not a vote should be counted, should a dispute over syntax arise, such as partial bolding, or broken bold tags. Do not fakevote; it’s not an honorable way to play anyway.

2) LYNCH + TWILIGHT

>>> The instant a simple majority of players (half the bunch, round down, add 1) all have their votes on one person, that person is lynched, and the day automatically goes to Twilight. Twilight is the time between when the hammer vote comes down and I lock the thread and post the death scene. Everyone, including the lynched player, may still talk, but there’s no use

Unvoting

, because the very moment majority is hit, the result is sealed, whether you like it or not. Sorry.

I will let Twilight be at least 24 hours long.

3) NO LYNCH

>>> For the pacifist in you, you can also

Vote: No Lynch

. If a majority settles on that, we’ll jump straight into Night without anyone dying. There’ll still be Twilight if this decision is reached as well.

4) DAY DEADLINE

>>> The Day deadline starts at 3 weeks from the start of the Day. If it elapses, the town immediately locks in on No Lynch, and we go to Night. It’s extendable upon request, but only if I say so. If I don’t say so, tough noogies. It’s also contractable if I feel discussion is slowing down, but I’ll threaten before doing in that case.

5) NIGHT DEADLINE

>>>The Night deadline is 3 days (weekend counts collectively as a day). If your Role PM says you’ve got something to do, do it in that time or you’re considered to have slept in and will skip your Night action.

6) PRODDING

>>> I’ll prod people after 3 days of inactivity (again, weekends count for less). If you don’t post in the topic after 2 days of the prod, I’ll go replacement hunting. There is no set number of prods before forced replacement, but I reserve the right to replace the habitually prodded. No sleeping during the Day.

I can also prod upon request, provided the rationale behind your request is sound. (and it usually is)

7) GOING SOMEWHERE?

>>> Let me know IN THIS TOPIC OR BY PM if you’re going to be away for a significant period of time. I’m not one to subscribe daily to the V/LA Gazette (the thread, y’know), so submitting a column up there isn’t going to do me any good. I’ll deal with V/LA claims on a case-by-case basis, although I’ll usually excuse most short-length absences.

8) EGREGIOUS OFFENSES

>>> Do not do any of the following. Committing one of these offenses runs the possibility of being warned, yelled at, scolded, publicly humiliated, replaced, and/or modkilled. Depends on the severity and frequency of the offense, of course.
-You may not post about this game in any other thread as long as it’s running. Nor any other ongoing game in this thread.
-Don’t say anything when you’re dead. You get one, single, solitary “Bah!” post.
-Don’t be the troll, don’t feed the troll.
-All site rules apply. Don’t break them.
-I use

bolded green

. You don’t.
-Make all words in your post easy-to-read. No secret codes or invisible

ink

text.
-Do not quote Mod PMs, or pretend to. I like to keep things on the down-low. Keep it cool.
-Play to win. Don’t screw your faction up out of boredom or anger. Don’t abuse the invocation of this rule either, there are many times when apparent sabotage is strategic.

If you are modkilled, you will be considered to have lost even if your faction goes on to win. If you are modkilled as Town, the game will go to Night. If you are modkilled as Mafia, the Day will continue.

9) CALL-A-MOD™

>>> If you want me to see or do something, bold it for me to see, like:

Mod

: I need a votecount. Or...

Mod

: I need to be replaced. Or...

Mod

: I voted for him, not her. Or...

Mod

: I love you.

10) QUESTIONS? QUALMS?

>>> Feel free to PM me with any concerns about decisions or anything of the like. If I’m right, I’ll happily point out that you’re wrong. However, if I’m wrong, I’ll happily try to make things right.

11) PLEASE, ENJOY YOURSELF!

>>> This is a game of great intensity, but one must never forget it is a game of great fun, and (most often) a team game. Don’t get overly personal, play to win, and enjoy yourself as much as possible, even if there’s a pretty high chance you’re going to metaphorically die. So, go team.

12) THE OBLIGATORY ELASTIC CLAUSE

>>> These rules are mutable mid-game if conflict should arise, or if I or someone else notices something abnormal in hindsight. I also have the final say on any conflict’s resolution which isn’t explicit in the rules.

[yabbaguy]

Attention B.I.R.D. employees, or whoever the heck you are, your roles have now been distributed. We'll begin our first interrogation Day once six have confirmed their presence.

[yabbaguy]

Yami's the only one yet to confirm, but he's got plenty of time. His first post in-thread will be considered a confirm.

Generic News Network-- DEVELOPING STORY: B.I.R.D. Complex Under Siege

Today, a stealth attack on the B.I.R.D. Complex left onlookers stunned as witnesses crowded outside the Complex, some in tears, others utterly shocked as to the proceedings that have taken place today. Right now, the security system is believed to have been bugged by the infiltrators, and while rescue teams are making attempts to circumvent the system, they have been unsuccessful so far. Contact with employees inside has been unsuccessful, leading authorities to believe that the phone landlines have been taken out as well.

Right now, the nearby community is worried over the safety of all inside. The building miraculously appears in stable condition, but many have reason to believe that those near and dear to them have died from the massive bombings that took place late last night. Again, due to the security bug, police have no way of tapping into the cameras and examining the scene inside, but we will continue to follow this story as it develops and more information is revealed.

7 are alive, meaning 4 is enough for a lynch (or not). Good luck.

Deadline is 7 PM EST (GMT-5) on November 15th.

D1 begins now. I'll keep status updates of all in the building on the first post.

[Nikanor]

Vote: Toro.

I has the first post.

[Toro]

*Cries*

WHY!?!?!?

Vote: Nikanor

[Taranski]

so guys, my role pm said that I wasn't mafia
discuss.

[dramonic]

Taranski

discuss

[Nikanor]

*Discusses the invalidity of dramonic's vote*

[Toro]

so guys, my role pm said that I wasn't mafia
discuss.

Of course you aren't, you must be a werewolf!

[Nikanor]

Of course you aren't, you must be a werewolf!

The only way you ould know there are werewolves in this setup would be if you were a werewolf yourself. You know that Taranski isn't a werewolf, because you are a werewolf yourself. This is why you are not voting Taranski.
tl;dr: Toro's the real werewolf, not Taranski.

Vote: Toro.

[Toro]

Dammit, y'got me.

[Toro]

Your vote was already on me.

[Taranski]

AGREED NIKA

[Nikanor]

Aww, ninja'd.

[dramonic]

Actually, he must be the nk-immune miller vig!

[YamiJoey]

Mod:

I love you.

@Dramonic: You mean there's two of us? Don't like that statement.

Vote: Dramonic

. That and the fact that you didn't actually vote, but made it look like you did. Confusing the Town and forcing us to cry before we sleep is scummy.

YJ

[yabbaguy]

Mod: I love you.

Back off. :P

[dramonic]

Mod: I love you.

Back off.

Yeah, the mod is mine and mine alone!

[AndyTony]

Taranski
- Discuss? My first impression is that your gambit pisses me off lol I expect that kind of behavior from saber.

If you're scum, it's a cheap gambit and shouldn't be ignored, and if your statement is true, then you've also suggested you're a PR in your wording.

Vote: YamiJoey

Mod:

I love you.

@Dramonic: You mean there's two of us? Don't like that statement.

Vote: Dramonic

. That and the fact that you didn't actually vote, but made it look like you did.

Confusing the Town and forcing us to cry before we sleep is scummy.

YJ

If YamiJoey actually cared/was motivated to vote based on a player confusing the town, his vote should have gone toward Taranski for the statement about the role PM comment.

[Taranski]

How is it a gambit? Everyone should claim to be town-alligned. Dunno who saber is.

lol dramonic's nonvote makes me laugh
