Mini 444 - Reverse Mafia Vanilla (Stopped)

[Zindaras]

I think Delly died. I'm going to contact MeMe about this game again and hope the same thing happens as last time (Delly shows up before MeMe even responds to my PM). I think the easiest solution would be for someone else to take over modding. Luckily, it's just a Vanilla game, so it should be possible.

[MeMe]

I'm chasing CDb -- he's got 48 hours to get back here before I try to replace him as mod.

[DeanWinchester]

This game has a curse on it or something. How long ago did this start?

[ChannelDelibird]

Yet again, I'm finding myself writing an apology for mod absence, and it's pissing me off almost as much as it must be pissing you guys off.

Same situation as the last time - I was away (7 days with no access earlier this month) and I just have a really hard time getting back into the mafiascum swing of things. I am not sure why this is the case. Maybe it's because I know inside that it eats my soul if I get into it. Maybe it is because I am lazy or have commitment issues. I really don't know.

I will be retaking over this game, and I will do it actively effective immediately. Now, by actively, I am maybe not talking "checking mafiascum seven times a day" like I used to be. That will probably come with time. For now, it'll be once a day. I will make a real effort to get vote counts done regularly and prods too.

Thanks for putting up with me before. Now, let's get this game going again.

[Yosarian2]

Cool, glad you're back.

And hey, zindy, you're plan worked.

[Zindaras]

Cool, glad you're back.

And hey, zindy, you're plan worked.

Told you so. ^_^

Anyway, I think this means it's time for our next revival, so I'm going to

Vote: Zindaras

.

[Yosarian2]

Ok, although I'd rather have mod confirmation on that first, but yeah, after I get revived, Zind's looking like a decent .5 day revival at the moment. Once we get confirmation that it's now day .5, I'll have to look back through the thread and see if there's any hard questions I can throw at Zind, heh.

[logicticus]

well i dont like the love between yos and zind.

and i was never a big fan of yos' revival.

but i have liked zind for a while, so I have no qualms.

vote zindaras

hopefully this game can move faster than a snails pace.

[Vel-Rahn Koon]

Do we know for sure that Yos was revived? I'm waiting on CdB before I throw my Zindy vote in the ring.

Vote: Zindy as a placeholder, I'll bold it later

[Vel-Rahn Koon]

The silence is deafening

[Patrick]

/replace me please.
I just don't hold out any hope of this game ever picking up or reaching completion. I feel a bit guilty because I replaced into this game as a trade, but I don't see significant interest from the mod or the players to keep this thing going. If CDB runs any more games, I still owe him a favour.

[Yosarian2]

Well, the players are interesting in still playing. We're just waiting for the mod to show up and give a votecount and/or annoice I've been revivied or whatever.

The Central Scrutinizer is taking over as mod while I am away. Thanks much, TCS.

[The Central Scrutinizer]

I have PM'd all players in this game asking whether or not they are in or out. So far the list looks like this:

No Response:
johhan
Relph
LoudmouthLee
DeanWinchester
Machiavellian-Mafia

In:
logicticus
Vel-Rahn Koon
Yosarian2
Zindaras

Out:
KaleiÐoscøpe
Patrick
yellowbounder

Once I get a couple more responses in we'll decide how to move forward. So far, I feel comfortable getting three replacements. But ff many more players default on the game, I think it might be prudent to just scrap whatever has happened thus far and restart the game with replacements.

I don't want to ruin what is a quite interesting game for you all, or for CDB, so your thoughts on this matter are appreciated. Once I've got a bit more info together, we can resume play in full.

Thanks,
TCS

[The Central Scrutinizer]

I imagine some of you saw this coming.

At the moment, out of the 12 people in this game, there are 4 who have definitively told me that they are going to continue playing this game. This would mean 8 simultaneous replacements, and MeMe agrees with me that the best decision at this time is to declare the game abandoned. You are all released from your obligations to this game. When ChannelDeliBird returns, no doubt he will be given the option to rerun this same setup.

I apologize to those of you who did post and who were looking forward to playing this game. I was looking forward to moderate it. But given the state it's in I think it's pretty much unsalvageable.

I'd like to thank to those of you who played up to this point, and for my part, those of you who took the time to respond to my PM.

[MeMe]

Unlocked for discussion, by request.

[Zindaras]

Someone told me who the scum were, but I've already forgotten, because I'm lazy like that.

I liked the setup, but I think the fact that it was entirely vanilla made it less interesting and somewhat unbalanced. The fact that it takes a long time before we even get to know one player's alignment also influences the game quite heavily.

I think the solution is to give everyone roles, or even to make it a Smalltown game, with role distributions already known. That would probably reduce the interest problem. I also think something would have to be done about the balance in general. I think it is very difficult for town to win a Reverse game, since they've pretty much lost if they revive one scumbag in the first three revives (as they're in LyLo from that point onwards).

[Patrick]

Scum were me, logicticus and M-M, for anyone who's interested.

[Yosarian2]

Yeah, I agree with Zinderas. Roles made the first game much more interesting (well, except for the silly "insane cop" role, lol). With roles, like vig, roleblocker, doc, ect, the town has a lot more options, and still has a chance of surviving even if they bring back a scum.

[Zindaras]

I intend to host a Reverse Mafia in the future with more interesting roles and probably some rule-changes to make it more interesting.
