Newbie 250: Scum win in overtime!

Post Post #0 (ISO) » Thu Jun 29, 2006 3:36 am

Post by MeMe »

What a nasty little town this has become. Mafia have arrived and are systematically gunning down the nice townfolk. What should decent, smart people do?
MOVE
, of course. What are YOU gonna do? Try to figure out who the bad guys are and lynch 'em during the daylight! I'm not kidding, folks. That's the plan. Deal with it.

Alive (1)

spectrumvoid
Mafia


Dead (6)

Peguin Zero (replaces Red Baron)
Townie
- lynched Day 1
PBuG
Townie
- lynched Day 2
Leptokurt
Townie
- killed Night 2
Be
Mafia
- lynched Day 3
Ogianres
Doctor
- killed at some point
Thesp
Townie
- killed at some point

No current Deadline


~~~~~~~~~~~~
One of the following four set-ups is used for this game:

a) 2 mafia, 1 cop, 1 doc, 3 townies
b) 2 mafia, 1 cop, 4 townies
c) 2 mafia, 1 doc, 4 townies
d) 2 mafia, 5 townies

Note: in view of the number of players, we will start in the day phase, although most larger games start with a night. The mafia will be allowed to communicate pre-game, though no role will submit choices until Day 1 is over.


Possible roles:

You are the mafia
. You may only talk with each other during the game's "night," not during the "day." You let me know before the night's deadline who will be your victim. You win the game when all the other players are dead.

You are the cop
. Every "night" before the deadline you send me a message with a name of your choice, and I will let you know whether that player is mafia or not. You are not allowed to communicate with any of the other players outside the thread. You win the game when the mafia are dead.

You are the doctor
. Every "night" before the deadline you send me a message with a name of your choice, and that player cannot die if attacked by the mafia that night. You cannot heal yourself. You are not allowed to communicate with any of the other players outside the thread. You win the game when the mafia are dead.

You are a townie
. You are not allowed to communicate with any of the other players outside the thread. You win the game when the mafia are dead.

The Rules
:
  • Votes must be in
    bold
    . If you do not bold your vote, it will not be counted.
  • Please be attentive and
    unvote
    , if necessary, before casting a new vote. This is not
    required
    , but I’d appreciate it.
  • 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. You may
    vote: no lynch
    – majority votes of this kind are necessary to end the day without a death.
  • The game is not to be discussed outside of the thread unless your role specifically states that you may do so.
  • Once your death scene has been posted, you’re dead. Stop typing.
  • Don’t edit/delete previously submitted posts
  • Don’t quote any PMs from me.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Remember, it’s a game. It’s supposed to played. It’s supposed to be
    fun
    . Do your part.

All confirmations have been received.

With seven alive, it'll take four votes to lynch. Play nice!

Yes, so you vote early while there are no votes on and don't quicklynch someone D1.

With that reasoning, I'm very tempted to vote for myself. But on the subject of names, I'm going to
Vote: Thesp
, because his name reminds me of plays, and I remember seeing a play called "Blood Brothers" that was absolutely shocking.

Be, it isn't a good idea to give someone multiple votes too quickly, because you could either bandwagon someone so quickly that they're lynched without defending themselves, or they're pounced upon by the mafia. *avoids glares from the now
unvoted Thesp

*Looks at Red Baron*

Wake, up, sissy! I would give you a vote, if I had not already voted for you.

Hmmmh, maybe you should change your name - "Dead Baron" applies much more to you.

If we lynch Be, specrumvoid, and Red Baron, we will win. I don't know which one is pro-town, but the other two are scum.

That's true and all, but I don't think you quite understand just how bad this play was and all. Anyway, if Thesp is working off the reasoning that my name is a scum tell, I welcome your votes, as that would be funny enough to justify dying innocent.

I'd really like to know the reason why thesp accused Be, me and Red Baron as mafia. I don't think it's funny to accuse people for no reason.

It's a random vote. Random votes often have random reasoning.

No it's just that I don't understand your line of reasoning. I don't have any reason to suspect any of them one way or the other yet. Could you explain how you came to your conclusion?

That's funny, what you said before seems to say you explicitly don't think it's a good idea, rather than you're ambivalent towards it.
