Rules:


1.
Votes:
Bold your votes and unvotes please, this makes it easier for me. they should look like this Vote Halo Freak. Unvote before casting a new vote. If you are unvoting i request that you write Unvote Halo Freak rather than just unvote as this makes my vote counts easier and more accurate. Any votes or unvotes not in bold will not be counted. You may vote No lynch, and a majority of these votes will end the day without a death. Executions will require a simple majority of votes. Once a player has reached the necessary majority, his pleas are useless and any attempts to unvote will be unheeded.
Once the final vote has been cast i request that you stop posting until i get on and lock the thread.

2. Do not quote my PM's breaking this rule results in an instant modkill.

3. Do not speak about this game outside this thread unless it is night and your role intends you to do so.

4. Please do not edit or delete your posts no matter how stupit a mistake you made. PM me or mention in the thread if you want something changed. I may refuse to change something if i think it might have an impact on the game.

5. Once you’re dead, you’re dead, so stop posting

6. If you have a night choice to make, it is due by the posted deadline. I will not wait for you – if you do not submit a choice to me, tough! No choice will be made. I will respond to all choices to let you know i have them. If you feel you need extra time you should email me
before
the deadline to tell me so.

7. Executions will require a simple majority of votes. Once a player has reached the necessary majority, his pleas are useless and any attempts to unvote will be unheeded.

8. If you are requesting a mod prod or vote count can you Bold you request so that I can see it more clearly

9.I want this game to keep moving so i expect everyone to post at least once every two days and if you don't you will receive a prod on the third day if you still haven't posted I will take further action. If you anticipate being unavailable for more than a 48-hour period, please post a notice to that effect in the thread or PM me.

10. No Swearing

11. No lying about external factors that may affect your ability to post

12. HAVE FUN!!!!!

13. Lastly and most importantly. Respect Me and the rest of the players, I have not had to modkill anyone yet, and i don't intend to.

If you have any questions concerning the rules please email me and i will be happy to help.

Thanks for explaining that to me, Halo. I wasn't sure if I was able to investigate before this game started or not. Why do some games allow you to investigate in the start and some not? I'm not sure I understand that too much yet. I'll just go with what you explained for now, but if you could explain that more later, I would appreciate it. I'll post to main thread after I read some more of the rules.

Oh, and yes, I did see that the game just started, thanks for all your help!!!! I look forward to playing on this site. It's a little different then I'm used to.

:shock: Wow, I really,
really
hope that's a mafia gambit, but I dont think it is.

Graken: halo freak started the game in a Day Cycle, which means that we get to start with discussion instead of night activities. This could be for numerous reasons, from him simply not wanting anyone to have their say before before kicking their bucket Night One, to perhaps he thinks it makes the game more balanced, or maybe something different altogether.

Personally, I think it gives us a chance to one-up the mafia by possibly cutting them down by one before they do one of us in. Of course, without even the slightest information that is usually gleaned from Night One, the town collectively has less to go off of. Therefore, we're only going to catch the mafia when they slip up in discussion, and nothing starts discussion like frivolous bandwagoning.
Vote: Poirot
, because he's the only one with a vote.

Well, looks like my mistake will make me the sacrificial lamb night 1. That's fine, I don't mind being off'd first, I should have payed better attention. I figure this will be a lesson I learn the hard way. My apologies to the rest of the town though.

Anyways, I figure I can still make the most of it during day 1! Woo woo!

Why is everyone voting for Poirot? I understandFalcone, but was your vote, Green Crayons, just a joke or something? I think frivolous bandwagoning can lead to actual mafia bandwagoning, so isn't that a bad idea?

Well, there should be a doc in town, so you probably don't have to worry about being killed the first night. And since a Day 1 cop claim is what broke the Newbie games, let's hope that it will also work out here.

Falcone's vote for Poirot appears to be completely random. My own is because Falcone is the only one being voted - maybe if there were more votes on the table, I would have pinned my vote on someone else. My whole Day One philosophy for mafia games is that the town has almost no information to go off of - and, in this case, where there was no Night One prior to this Day cycle, we have nothing at all to go off of. We can't cross our fingers and hope night investigators might have caught a bad guy. Heck, assuming you're our cop, you don't even have an innocent that you can at least assume is trying to help the town.

Therefore, with nothing to go off of, we will only have discussion and voting patterns to deduce who could be the scum among us. After all, we're only going to catch the bad guys when they slip up and/or do something suspicious or odd. It also helps later in the game when looking at voting patterns. To jump start this whole process, I endorse bandwagons at the beginning.

To make it clear, I'm not going to keep my vote on Poirot until the end of the day, nor am I endorsing any type of role claim or anything of that sort. Bandwagoning needs to start somewhere, however, and I don't care to wait a few pages of mindless random votes and "oh no," "how weird," "whatever shall we do," etc. posts before we get down to buisness.

Green Crayons, that was a fairly good explaination. Thanks for answering my question. I'd like to place a random vote.

Vote: Shamrock


For not having said anything yet.
