Mini 934 - Troubles at Smiths&Catharts (Game Over!)

Troubles at Smiths&Catharts!


For many years, Smiths&Catharts prospered as one of the best gun makers on Earth. No matter what happens in the world, there's always a need for a good gun, and if there's a need - they'll deliver it. CEO of the company, Colonel Cathart (other CEO, Mr. Smith went missing several years ago looking for someone called 'Neo', whatever that meant...) was always good at solving any problems, but for the first time since the last economic crisis, he didn't know if his company will manage to exist the way it existed as always. And this time the cause was a short letter he received earlier this morning addressed by someone called 'Don Bazzani'.

Signore Cathart

I'm writing to you, as a head of my dearest Bazzani family with a proposal. Our family was always a good client of yours in the past, but now it's time to change the roles. Due to our increased need of every firearms available at any time, we need something more than just a regular shipments. And so, I'm making an offer you cannot refuse: Please sell us the ownership rights to your company for half the price, and we can guarantee the peace for you, four family, and your workers (or rather - our workers).

With best regards - Don Francesco Bazzani

Ps. In case of a negative answer, several of my men already infiltrated your factory, and they are ready at any time to take over your company in more... 'Traditional' way.


Cathart read the letter about 100 times, before he finally made a decision. He spent way too much time and money to give it away now to some greedy Mafia family. He ordered to his most trusted co-workers to seal all the exits from the building until they'll find all the mafia members lurking to get their lives and ownership rights.

Now, as one of the trapped company workers, you must find scum lurking around you to secure the freedom of Smiths&Catharts... and your life.

Current status: GAME OVER, It's a draw!

Game Rules
(Shamelessly stolen and modified from Zorblag's rules)
[/b]

General Gameplay and Etiquette:


1. You may not quote private Moderator-supplied information (either real or fabricated) of any kind. Paraphrasing (for role claims, etc.) is acceptable.
2. There is to be NO personal communication outside of the forum postings unless your role PM specifically allows it. Mafia members may communicate at night and during the confirmation stage.
3. If you have a role with a Night action your choices are due to me by the posted deadline. If I do not receive your choice via PM by the posted deadline you will forfeit your actions.
4. Roles with Night actions will not be able to submit an action on Night 0 (i.e. during the confirmation stage).
5. Any player with a Night action may instead submit a “No Action” PM to let the Mod know that you do not want to perform your expected action that Night phase.
6. The order of the Night actions will be assigned via Natural Action Resultion.
7. As a general rule you should aim for one post every 36 hours, minimum, to keep the game moving.


Voting, Deadlines, and Player Death:


1. A simple majority of all living members must agree on one person for a lynch to occur.
2. Once you have reached a simple majority no further unvoting will change someone’s fate.
3. Once a player is lynched the game enters twilight until I post a death scene; all players including the one who was lynched may continue to post during twilight.
4. Please submit votes as:
Vote: PlayerName.
Votes will NOT be counted if they are not bold! Obvious abbreviations or nicknames will be counted so long as they are unambiguous.

5. Please submit vote revocations as either
Unvote: PlayerName
or
Unvote.
Unvotes are not necessary before changing votes, although they are aprreciated.
6. You may
Vote: No Lynch
- a simple majority of these vote types are required to send the game to Night phase without a lynch.
7. This game will have 2 week deadlines. If by this time no player will reach simple majority of votes, the day ends with NO LYNCH.
7a. I may extend the the deadline ONCE per day/night phase, if requested. The players must have valid reason to do so (the examples of valid reasons: large number of replacements in need to catch up, major holidays etc.).
8. After your death scene (either via lynch or night kill) you may no longer post. One 'Bah!' post is allowed, although it cannot be game related in any way.
8a. 'Go town!' and similar ARE a game related posts for example. Don't write anything like that, or I'll eat your soul.
8b. No, really... Don't write anything like that, unless you really don't want to have your soul anymore.


Miscellaneous/Mechanics:


1.
Dark Blue (also known as Navy)
text is reserved for the Mod. No invisible/small text is allowed.
2. If you have an issue/problem with the game, please PM the Mod privately. Do not post issues/complaints in the game thread.
3. The Mod may make mistakes - please point out any mistakes gently. Mistakes will be corrected where possible, but sometimes mistakes are made that cannot be reversed. These will stand as final to be commiserated over after the game.
4. Please bold all requests to the Mod so that they don’t get missed.
5. Prods of missing players will be issued automatically after 72 hours of no activity or upon request after 48 hours of no activity. A prodded player has 48 hours to respond or risks replacement. A player who has been prodded 3 times is subject to replacement without further notice.
6. Rules violations will be dealt with according to their severity, up to and including a Modkill.
7. 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.
8. I reserve myself the right to alter, add or remove any of the rules, depending on the situation, my mood and/or the Octopus that lives in my head. If any change in rules will occur, I will notify you.


The Golden Rule:


Please remember that this is a game and you have 2 main objectives: to win, and to have fun! Play to win, don't go against your objective or cripple your team. Be also considerate of each other, don’t get personal, and enjoy the game.

This is Vanilla Townie role PM some of you will receive:

Welcome to Smiths&Catharts! Your role is:

Vanilla Townie


Flavor:
You are just a regular everyday normal guy, and you just want to do your work (mother****er!). Unfortunately, you can't do this unless you'll find and neutralize all the mafia running around the factory. There's no other way, but to put on your thinking cap, and start looking for scum.

Abilities:
During the day, you can vote on which player should be lynched.

Win Condition:
You win when all threats to the town are eliminated.

Other Notes:
Please confirm that you have read the rules and your role PM by sending a pm to me.

All role PMs are sent. We'll start as soon everyone will confirm they received their role by PM to me.

I have 11 out of 12 confirmations. If I don't get the last one in the next 24 hours, we'll start the game anyway.

12 people gathered in conference room. All of them unsure what's really going on. They all heard about some mafia, and attempt to take over the company but nobody knew for sure. Finally, when all of the sat in the chairs around the large, round table - huge monitor appeared on the wall, and CEO Cathart's head appeared on it.

"
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen."
He greeted them. "
As some of you may already know, Bazzani mafia family threatens me and tries to take over my company. I checked all the acts of my workers and according to them, only you twelve joined the company in the time when someone could possibly plant their men in here. And so, I know for sure, that several of Bazzani men are here...
" He paused himself for a second
"In this very room... Hence my lack of appearance with you personally."


All of the gathered workers looked at each other with nervousness on their face.

"Now, since I don't think that nailed mafiosi will just confess here, we'll have to do it the old fashioned way. I'll let you decide between yourself, who do YOU think is the scum, and then we'll get rid of them. You have all day. Good luck. You won't see my face from now on, but I'll see every your move and hear every your word, so don't think you can do whatever you want. You are still obligated to obey the company rules..."

"Godspeed..."


And so, Cathart's face disappeared from the screen and 12 confused people once again looked at each other, this time in order to find Bazzani goons...

DAY 1 Starts!


The deadline is set for 2 weeks from now on that means
Thursday, 18.03.2010 at 00:30 AM GMT +1 (Wednesday, 17.03.2010 at 11:30 PM GMT, 6:30 PM EST, 3:30 PST)

No random vote?

by Sotty7
Apart from CyberBob he is the only one I have played with on this player list.

Why did you vote for me? You first post suggests your not against the RVS stage but your hop onto me seems weird.

Posted: Wed Mar 03, 2010 12:49 pm

I had a perfectly good reason to vote for NobodySpecial. Why not vote for Bob?

Posted: Wed Mar 03, 2010 12:50 pm
by Sotty7
What's the reason?

I didn't vote for Bob cause he is probably gonna be replaced.

Posted: Wed Mar 03, 2010 12:51 pm
by Ythan
Top of the list. Why do you think Bob's going to be replaced?

Posted: Wed Mar 03, 2010 12:53 pm
by Sotty7
...Because he didn't confirm.

Can you link me to some of your completed games?

Hi :)

At least give us a made up reason to vote Scrambles.

Posted: Wed Mar 03, 2010 12:59 pm
by Nobody Special
Vote: Ythan


He knows why. (Hint: It involves a hummingbird, a dictionary, and three mangoes.)

In other news: I predict RayFrost will not make a single post to this thread.

Posted: Wed Mar 03, 2010 1:00 pm
by Ythan
Ray will post. He's going to make wild accusations in the RVS.

Posted: Wed Mar 03, 2010 1:00 pm
by SFG
hm, I know Ray and maybe Thor...is this the same Thor as Newbie 898? At any rate, I recognize Ythan and Pom by reputation and everyone else is a stranger...

vote: Copper
cus the beginning of the alphabet is always scummy. Obviously that makes Ythan town because he is last alphabetically...

What's this reputation?

by Copper
Hello everyone, good to be here.

Vote:Ythan
because he seems to be a fan of spamming up the thread and I am a fan of that not happening.

As I recall, Cyberbob was recently issued an 'indefinite ban' from general discussion. I could easily see this leading into him leaving the site entirely.
