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.

No current deadline


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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

a) 1 Mafia Goon, 1 Mafia Roleblocker, 1 Cop, 1 Doctor, 5 Townies
b) 1 Mafia Goon, 1 Mafia Roleblocker, 7 Townies
c) 2 Mafia Goons, 1 Cop, 6 Townies
d) 2 Mafia Goons, 1 Doctor, 6 Townies

Role Details:

You are the
. Your partner is __________ (Mafia Goon). You may only talk with each other during the game's "night," not during the "day." You will discuss with your partner overnight who you will target for your block and his kill (the actions may target the same player OR different players). Let me know, via PM, before the night's deadline who you've chosen for each action. If your partner dies, you may perform one of the mafia actions (either kill or block), but not both. You win the game when all pro-town players are dead.

As we start the game during the day phase, no choice is necessary at this time, but feel free to communicate with your partner until Day 1 begins.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You are a
Mafia Goon
. Your partner is __________ (Mafia Roleblocker OR Mafia Goon -- I will specify which here). You may only talk with each other during the game's "night," not during the "day." Before the night deadline, send your kill choice to me via PM.

As we start the game during the day phase, no choice is necessary at this time, but feel free to communicate with your partner until Day 1 begins.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.

As we start the game during the day phase, no choice is necessary at this time.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.

As we start the game during the day phase, no choice is necessary at this time.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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 are in. With nine alive, it takes 5 votes to lynch.

Get to it!

There are three ICs, and I'm assuming that would be me, Rishi and Snail.

Advice which new players have probably figured out on their own, but for the record, don't trust anyone, especially at this early stage... including me. Without that last clause that'd probably turn into WIFOM, heh.

Anyway, at the start of the game we do not, of course, have any information to go on; therefore I'll throw a

Hi Rishi.
Looks like snail has a few month experience here, but he didn't sign up as IC.

Snailman8 is two votes away from being lynched, which is a bit early.

So, muffinhead, why the third vote on Snail?

Also, for those of you without avatars, it's really helpful for us to tell people apart. Though if multiple people get similar avatars, like Nibbler from Futurama for example, then the entire purpose of avatars is defeated. So don't do that.

Rishi, I disagree. Two more votes to lynch is not a dangerous position; any scum that immediately jumped on would give themselves away and we'd be trading 1 townie for 2 scum, a definate good deal. As an IC, I thought you would know this; you seem a little overly cautious to me. Additionally, you're asking for reasoning on a vote, in a stage where all votes are random, putting a player in a spot where they can't give a good answer.

We obviously don't have anything to go on, but this is the biggest scumtell I've seen in this game so far ;)

The purpose of what I was saying was to spark conversation. I don't think I am being too cautious. I have seen plenty of newbies think that the first day of a game is supposed to last 2-3 real life days and, when they see a few votes on a person, they say, "Okay, I'll just go with the crowd and vote for that person too." And yes, I've seen townies do this. I have seen some really really badly played newbie games. As an IC, I would expect YOU to know that.

And you really think what I said was the scummiest thing you've seen so far? What about this?
