If I feel attacks are getting too personal or out of hand I will replace/mod kill you as I see fit.
Do not quote any private mod/player communications. Do not pretend to quote private mod/player communications. Doing so will result in a modkill.
There is to be
no
communication outside this thread unless your PM states otherwise.
This is my color. Please don't use it.
Game play rules
Mod kills will end the day.
All votes must be in all
bold
to count and in the following format:
Vote: Sotty
. Unvotes are nice, but not required. I will not tolerate any kind of voting tricks. You have been warned.
A lynch will be reached when a majority of players (one-half of the living players plus one) vote for a specific player.
Once this point is reached, no amount of unvoting will stop the lynch.
Each day will have a deadline of three weeks. In extreme circumstances I will extend the deadline by a few days (no more than a week)
If a majority hasn't been reached by the deadline, then there will be a
no lynch
Each night will have a deadline of three days, the weekend counts as one day.
Once a lynch has been reached, all players, (including the lynched player) may continue to post until I can get on and lock the thread.
Once you're dead.. Well you're dead. No more posting, dead people can't type! They also can't talk to others still in the game and tell them any info they may or may not have. Simple “bah” posts are allowed, I will delete anything else.
The everything else rules
No invisible text, encrypted text, stupidly small text or hiding text inside [ color = black ] tags.
I will try and get a votecount up every page or every 24 hours. Feel free to request a vote count at any time.
Prods will go out if you haven't posted in 72 hours. If you don't pick up that prod in 48 hours I will look for a replacement.
If you think you won't be able to post in the thread for a couple of days then please post a notice letting everyone know just that.
Treat this game as a commitment. Be considerate – don’t leave us hanging.
Bold all requests to the mod to make them easier for me not to miss.
I'm human, I make mistakes. Feel free to point out mistakes with small things such as the votecount in thread. If you have issues with the game on a bigger level then please PM me.
The F11 setup is the current game format used in Newbie games. To prevent the development of game-breaking strategies, these Newbie Games are Semi-Open, wherein the actual game setup is randomly chosen from one of four possible setups as detailed below:
If either of the first two setups are in play, and the situation occurs where the Goon is lynched first, the Roleblocker will still be able to submit both night kills and roleblocks (roleblocking is a function of the Roleblocker; night kills are a function of the scum team as a whole).
These are the Role PMs that have potentially been sent to the players:
You are a member of the Mafia along with your partner,
name
. Since your plot to quietly overtake the town has failed, you will attempt take it by force by eliminating the others until you outnumber the populace.
During the day, try to blend in with the normal Townies, and attempt to get someone lynched.
During the NIGHT cycle ONLY, you may talk with your fellow Mafia (via this quick topic) and choose another player in the town to kill that night.
You may communicate privately with your fellow Mafia up until the game thread is opened. Once the game begins, all outside communication must cease until the night cycle.
You win when the number of Mafia equals or exceeds the number of remaining Town players, whether you survive to the end or not.

As a Roleblocker, you have the ability to distract any player throughout the night, effectively negating their night ability, if they have one.
Send the moderator a PM with your choice of player that you want to block. If they have a Night action, it will have no effect. You will not be informed as to whether your roleblock worked or not.

Set up is being generated and role PMs will be going out.
Please hold...
PMs are out. Once 7 out of 9 players confirm I will open the thread and the game will start. To be clear, this game is a reboot of Newbie 951 with the same player list apart from the two players that broke the rules.
@FEMM the Attorney - Who would you investigate if you were a cop?
@Mr. Wednesday - Who would you protect if you were a doctor?
@TOFO - Who would you kill if you were a vigilante?
@Midnight's Sorrow - Who would you kill if you were scum?
@Lightsource - Who is your scum buddy?
@Me=Weird - Are you a phenomenal liar?
@SnowWhite - Policy lynches - good or bad?
@yabbaguy - Lynch all Liars - good or bad?
Ski mask? Check! Sawed off? Check! Guilty conscience, fear of death? Check! Check! Check!

Bold mine.
In other words, I am qualified to be an IC, but because I was retarded, I'm redeeming myself for X amount of games, where X is a number to be determined by Vel Rahn-Koon, as an SE.
Ski mask? Check! Sawed off? Check! Guilty conscience, fear of death? Check! Check! Check!
again, as I still don't trust self-proclaimed weird people, and now his hunger is making me even more uncomfortable. Why do I make you hungry?
Could this be an OMGUS vote? Possibly, but at this point early in the game, I don't give a damn.
And as for AGar's question, I would kill the person I would believe is the most scummy. Even if s/he was a townie, I'd still kill that person because s/he could easily be simply used by the mafia to distract the rest of us and to keep the heat off of them.
@Midnight's Sorrow - why would you kill the SE who asks somewhat redundant questions? If you're scum, it makes no sense to kill the player who's questions, to you, apparently have no weight to them and do not shed light on anything. Why wouldn't you kill someone who is making positive progress on you (theoretically) as opposed to the person asking redundant questions that probably won't get anywhere with them.
@TOFO - What do you say to the idea that the person that you perceive to be most scummy is potentially a pro-town power role (Cop, Doctor, pro-town Roleblocker)? Is the reduced distraction during the day worth the potential gain of what the power role could provide?
Ski mask? Check! Sawed off? Check! Guilty conscience, fear of death? Check! Check! Check!
Because if I killed someone like that, I would effectively put suspicion on myself pretty much immediately, as opposed to offing someone who was asking redundant questions and wouldn't shed light light on anything?

Fair enough.
So do you think it is an ideal tactic to analyze night-kills for their potential killers or do you subscribe to the fact that the practice is loaded with WIFOM and nearly impossible to do.

@AGar - Well, I would want to confirm my suspicion before lynching if I could, in order to avoid lynching townies/power townies. So I would investigate the one I suspect first.
"Lolpats. It's like lolcats. But pattier." - My friend.
I would be disappointed that the power-role-holder in question would act really scummy that way. Do keep in mind that when I say acting scummy, I do not specifically mean how people keep on attacking said person to try and force anything out of him/her - I mean how that person acts scummy without provocation =\
If the discussion the next day helps the rest of the townies potentially discover who the mafiosos are, then I don't have any regrets.
Also, earlier, I meant to vote for
M
e
=Weird
- doesn't really matter, but I tend to get nitpicky with spelling/grammar.

Because I like tofu, and I don't care what your sig says. And it isn't OMGUS. I just don't like it when people make me hungry by saying things like tofu.

This is what it should have looked like.
But....but....what if I don;t want to use it
