Mini 1,115: Ozy and Millie Mafia (Game over!)

StrangerCoug · Post Post #0 (ISO) » Sat Jan 22, 2011 5:12 pm

It was just another day at North Harbordale Elementary School. Play, go to class, eat, play some more, go back to class, and go home. Pretty predictable routine.

Well, now you kids have a curveball thrown at you. Yes, you've known that the school has had bullies since you started attending, but now it's getting horrendous. The nurse's office is filled with people with severe injuries—and some of them aren't even students here. No one remembers the last time it got bad, but Principal Beau Vine sure as heck isn't doing anything—he's taking his sweet time daydreaming of when everyone's in conformity with society. Well, guess what: conformity right now means taking people you don't like out.

Who will win the largest schoolyard fight most of us have ever seen?

Spoiler: ALIVE (1/13)

RULES

This is a closed setup, which means the only roles you will know in advance are your own and that of any other player I mention in your role PM. All other role information is secret, including how many players with a certain role exist and even if the role exists in the first place. Yes, a game with absolutely no vanilla townies is possible. It's been done before.
The preferred voting method is to put vote tags around the player's name, but I will still accept the old method of bolding the word "vote" followed by said player's name, e.g. VOTE: StrangerCoug or
Vote: StrangerCoug
. As long as I can tell to whom you are referring, spelling does not count and I will accept abbreviated or otherwise shortened forms of the name of the vote's recipient. You may also VOTE: No Lynch. I no longer require unvotes.
A majority of votes is required for a lynch, even at deadline. Once a lynch has been decided, it is final and further votes and unvotes do not count for the current day. If deadline is reached with no player having enough votes for a lynch, the day ends in an automatic No Lynch.
Once you die, I'll allow one "bah" post that doesn't contain any game-related content if you wish to make it, but you must thereafter stop posting in the game. Said "bah" post is the only post a dead player may make during twilight. Living players may continue to talk during twilight as long as they follow all of the rules.
You are not forced to like each other, but the fact that you badly want so and so offed does not give you the right to insult him or her. Please keep your hatred of people or groups thereof to yourself. Profanity is not in and of itself banned, but if it gets out of hand, it falls under this rule.
Do not hide text or otherwise hinder its readability by using spoiler tags, invisible or encrypted text, etc. You may, however, post in any color that can be easily read against the forum background other than
purple
. (I know it sounds arbitrary to forbid a specific color, but I'm saving my favorite color for mod use since I am the mod )
Impersonating the moderator is prohibited.
Unless you're the moderator (that's me, obviously), co-moderator (that's nobody), or backup moderator (that's Vi) of this game, please do not delete or edit any posts in this thread.
You are not allowed to discuss this game outside of the thread unless I tell you otherwise, nor are you allowed to discuss other ongoing games in this thread.
Do not quote or pretend to quote any private communication, either from me or from anyone else you are allowed to talk with at night. This includes your role PM. You are allowed to paraphrase, but you are not allowed to plagiarize. If in doubt as to your paraphrase's legality, PM me with the wording you want to use.
Claiming to be scum with someone else is prohibited.
I will issue a prod to any player that does not post for 72 hours without notifying me of his or her absence. (I'm sorry, but I do not check the V/LA thread. If you do not tell me to do so, neither will I check your signature.) If you are prodded, you will have 48 hours from the time of submission to post in thread. Failure to do so may result in replacement. Keep in mind that I have the board time down to the second. I will only prod the same player twice—after that, he or she must post every 72 hours to ensure that he or she remains in the game.
The fastest and preferred way to get ahold of me is by PM'ing me, but you may also communicate to me in thread if it is day or twilight and you are still alive. To do so, bold "Mod:" followed by what you want to tell me, as in
Mod: Please prod StrangerCoug
or
Mod: StrangerCoug should have five votes, not four.
Please use your judgment call in whether or not what you want to tell me should be public knowledge before talking to me in the thread. In additon, I will not entertain questions regarding possible night actions, nor will I answer questions about a person's role unless you happen to be the person in question and you ask me privately.
Rule violations will be dealt with case by case based on severity. This can be a warning (of which I will only give two per player), ejection from the game, or even a modkill. Modkills are not a fun experience for anybody—the players affected automatically lose, I do it in the manner that I consider most harmful to their factions, and I die on the inside every time I have to do it.
PLEASE
save all of us the pain and be on your best, rule-abiding behavior.
I am not God. If I make any mistakes whatsoever, please let me know.
All rules are subject to change. In my previously modded games, things have come up that I didn't think about, and both my own and other's actions in those games have helped shape and modify these rules. It may happen again here.
The most important rule of all, saved for last for what I think is a very good reason:
HAVE FUN!
Enjoy! And good luck!

StrangerCoug, you are
D.C. Simpson, a vanilla townie.
With your pen, you wrote in in the bullying problem that North Harbordale Elementary School has now come to face. Your creations now wish that you would write out those problems—they're getting pretty hectic!

You have no gun, no badge, no first aid kit, no magic thingamajiggers, absolutely nothing special except for three things—the wish for this bullying to go away, your brain, and voting abilities. But those three things are all you need to rid the school of the heartless baddies!

You will when all threats to North Hardordale Elementary have been eliminated from the game.

Please PM me back acknowledging that you understand and confirm your role. The game is here and you're playing a day start.

StrangerCoug · Post Post #2 (ISO) » Sat Jan 22, 2011 5:28 pm

All roles are out. You have 72 hours to confirm.

RVQS!

1. Have you read Ozy and Millie? All the way through? When did you first read it? Last read it?

I started reading Ozy and Millie a fair while back - before 2006, I think - and I reread it from the beginning while the game was in the Mini Theme queue.

2. Buddhists vs. Stoics: who would win the imperturbability-off?

I actually don't know enough about either to say, but for your entertainment I give you Marcus Aurelius:

If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself but to your own estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.

3. Public or private school?

Homeschooled, actually.

Started reading it about a month ago and finished it recently.

I have no clue.

Oh yay. Both! Public through 8th grade, private high school.

For [REDACTED - ONGOING GAME]
You know why

Also, fair warning: I'm doing fun stuff and will post several puzzles throughout the game. I highly advise you don't bother trying to solve them. I'll reveal the solutions when the time is right.

The first of these puzzles will be in my next post. I will always isolate these puzzles so that they can be referenced by post number in later use.

Again, DO NOT BOTHER TRYING TO SOLVE THESE. You will not learn anything useful at the moment.

They can't hide any game-relevant information. Other than that, I'm fine.

Kinda a little shaky on this one... do you want me to PM you the puzzle answers before I post them, just in case?

@Anti:

I'm smarter than that and actually read rules.

I was kinda going somewhere with at least #1: familiarity with the comic could help a lot in evaluating flavor claims.

I read some of Ozy and Millie during sign-ups. Got too busy to read all of it.

1)Started about 30 mins before my /in, got to 2002 nowish.
2)Stoic, because I don't exactly know what that means in relation to a group of people, and I'm sure that fact itself makes them more like that other word you said, you get?
3)Public, but I get the feeling this might lead to different conclusions based on my location...

Which I do believe he added by HAND!(I'd been wondering why it was uglier than chess')

I wholeheartedly agree with these sentiments.

tl;dr VOTE: vezokpiraka, he probably doesn't know why, but it's funnier that way.
