You are Maggie Smith, you were disappointed when you learned that the money had all been won last week, but it's only money and you would be happy with 10,000.

The "unusual slightly psychotic game host" was determined to let you remain true to your cause, but you were once a prostitute... you know what they say "once a prossie always a whore"... So you'll use this to your advantage once per day you may distract a player and they will be rendered incapable of participating in the next Question Stage.

It however comes at a price, and you cannot ask any questions either. You may use this power after every lynch or after every two voting stages, whichever comes first.

You win when all anti-town roles are eliminated, and the people who murdered the innocent host are dealt with appropriately.

GO

Each player may post precisely one question to each other player. This post is also treated as your confirm.

Do not answer or vote yet. That will be happening soon.

[The Inquisition]

some clarifying questions, max:
1. you say to each player, so i can ask 11 questions in total, correct?
2. Do i have to do this in the same post or can i space them out?
3. Can we ask compound questions (the rules of evidence in court don't allow for this, for example)?

[Max]

Yes
All in the same post.
You can if you so wish, after all players are not restricted to only one word responses, so the effect of them is nullified.

[CryMeARiver]

So if no one gets lynched during the first voting stage, do the votes reset? And If not can one unvote/revote between voting stages, or no?

[Kirbyoshi]

Mod: Do the questions have to be ones that there is a distinct, verifiable right answer to? And are questions related to this game off-limits if directed at other players?

[farside22]

this game is going to be so hard on me I already want to ask a player a questions.
Like this quote has me wondering why would you ask a question that doesn't have a right answer? How would you persue a player through a question that has no right answer to it?

Mod: Do the questions have to be ones that there is a distinct, verifiable right answer to?

Consider that my question to kirbyoshi while I wonder a few other questions to ask.

I assume that we are allowed to make posts that aren't questions...with that in mind...

This is a very good point...why would someone want to ask a vague question without a direct answer? Possibly to try and confuse people? Hmm...scumtells on page 1, never encountered that before...

By the way, those were not my questions...towards anybody...need people to confirm quickly tonight...only have 48 hours for questioning...

[bv310]

@CryMeARiver: Do you not think that you're reaching a bit? If so, do you not consider that to be a scumtell?

Also, consider this a /confirm.

[Netopalis]

My question to everybody: Describe your style of play on this site, and what you value the most in the game of mafia.

[The Inquisition]

i don't understand why we'd be able to talk outside the questions. what would the purpose be? I'd stop posting until the mod is able to answer.

[Cobalt]

@All players: Are you town?

[farside22]

@the rest of the players in the game. Wou you please link and describe how you act in a game as mafia and as town?

[Ellibereth]

i don't understand why we'd be able to talk outside the questions. what would the purpose be? I'd stop posting until the mod is able to answer.

@Everyone: How important do you find meta?

[Kirbyoshi]

Thie Inquisition...what a name for this game.

I know this is kind of an "idle post," but I wanted to clarify my question to the mod: I wanted to know if the questions should be trivia, or game-related. I don't want to waste my time coming up with good trivia questions if that's not what this stage of the game is for.

[Doombunny9]

Ok, it's the first page and I'm already confused

Same questions to mod as everyone else- Are we asking trivia type questions or just w/e? etc.

Anyway, Since I have time I think I'll play it safe and do both. Anyway, feel no need to answer the trivia questions if we're supposed to ask normal questions

Non-trivia questions

bv- Do you use meta and if so, how much?
Cobalt-As of when you answer this question, who do you think is the scummiest person?
CMAR- What would you say your normal playstyle is (such as lurking a lot, talkitive, etc.)
DDD- Do you, like me, feel a strong urge to answer some of the questions even though we're not supposed to.
Dragons- What experiance have you had on this site or other similar sites. Meaning, how many games, how many were you town, scum, 3rd party etc.
Ellibereth-Would you consider yourself to be "pro-town"
farside-What is your opinions on policy lynches, when is it ok, not ok etc.
kirby-If you were to make a huge mistake when claiming but no one noticed but you, would you fix it if it would hurt you if it did?
Neto-Have you played any mafia games in a non-forum style (such as chatroom or RL)
Sanhora- What are you're overall opinions on this setup. What do you like, what don't you like etc.
TI- Would you consider yourself a "good" person when playing scum?

Trivia questions

bv-The word "vaccine" comes from the Latin word vaccinus which refers to what?
Cobalt-Tom Hanks won Best Actor Oscars two years in a row, 1993 and 1994, for his roles in what two films?
CMAV-June 6, 1944 is known as D-Day, when in the early daylight at low tide about 5,000 Allied ships invaded the coastline in what part of France?
DDD-What two countries beginning with the letter "B" share a land border with Yugoslavia?
Dragons-Eminent domain is the right of the government to do what?
Ellibereth-Which one of these people never won the Nobel Peace Prize: Mother Theresa, Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King, or Yassir Arafat?
farside-If all the Ivy League colleges were listed in alphabetical order, what would be the first four on the list?
Kirby-What number must a year be divisible by to qualify as a leap year?
Neto-Take the name of a colorful tropical fruit and add one letter - you get the name of a neck garment. What are these words?
Sanhora-Which three countries hosted the Winter Olympics during the 1990's?
TI-Which product, well-known for its humorous advertising, was advertised in the 1960's with the two slogans: "Small Wonder" and "Relieves Gas Pains"

[farside22]

NOTE: that normally farside22's and bv310's only posting one question would result in losing all other questions, as it is QS1 I am being a generous moderator...

I'll work on that. I typically ask a question with a back to that question so it's difficult keep a question cut and dry.

[Sanhora]

@CMAR: What do you think of Kirby's explanation?
@Farside: Same question - What do you think of Kirby's explanation?
