Newbie #609: The Felefen Mafia (OVER!)

[Mr. Flay]

There's danger and crime in Felefen (home of small, defenseless newbies), and it's up to the nine of you to figure out whodunnit.

Players:

• (alive)
• sthar8,
  Townie
  
  
• Sudo_Nym,
  Townie
  
  
• Ripley,
  Townie
  
  
  
  (dead)
  
  
• Mr_Bigby
  The Internet,
  Townie
  , was lynched Day One.
• Alabaska J,
  Mafia Roleblocker
  , was lynched Day Two.
  
• Norinel,
  Doctor
  , was killed Night Two.
  
• Thoomor,
  Townie
  , was lynched Day Three.
  
• togamonkey,
  Cop
  , was killed Night Three.
  
• Frenger
  joonster,
  Mafia Goon
  , was lynched Day Four.

Setup:

This game uses the 9-player setup called F11, which consists of four possibilities:

1. 1 Mafia Goon, 1 Mafia Roleblocker, 1 Sane Cop, 1 Doctor, 5 Townies.
   
2. 1 Mafia Goon, 1 Mafia Roleblocker, 7 Townies.
   
3. 2 Mafia Goons, 1 Sane Cop, 6 Townies.
   
4. 2 Mafia Goons, 1 Doctor, 6 Townies.

One of these was chosen totally at random, as were all role assignments.

[Mr. Flay]

Of course, this would all be a lot easier if you weren't so sure that some of you haddunit. Two of you, in fact, though you're not sure who else is what. Here's the possibilities:

Mafia:

You are a

Mafia Roleblocker

, along with your partner _________ (who is simply a Goon). Your goal is to eliminate the pro-town players so that only your side remains; you win if this happens. During the Day, try to blend in with the rest of the players, and get someone lynched.

You may talk with your partner at Night, and send me a choice via PM of who you would like to kill/roleblock (your team can do both so long as you live).

Note: You may talk with your partner privately during confirmations to plan strategy, but no night actions will take place until Night One.

AND

You are a

Mafia Goon

, along with your partner _________ (who is a pro-Mafia Roleblocker). Your goal is to eliminate the pro-town players so that only your side remains; you win if this happens. During the Day, try to blend in with the rest of the players, and get someone lynched.

You may talk with your partner at Night, and send me a choice via PM of who you would like to kill (if your partner also lives, they can send in a separate choice to roleblock someone).

Note: You may talk with your partner privately during confirmations to plan strategy, but no night actions will take place until Night One.

OR

You are a

Mafia Goon

, along with your partner _________. Your goal is to eliminate the pro-town players so that only you remain; you win if this happens. During the Day, try to blend in with the rest of the players, and get someone lynched (if that someone is not your partner or yourself, that will make things much easier). You may talk with your partner when it is not Day, and send me a choice via PM of who you wish to kill.

Note: You may talk with your partner privately during confirmations to plan strategy, but no kills will happen until Night One.

Town:

You are the

Doctor

, and you can protect people from harm. Each Night, you may send me a choice via PM of who to protect; if they come under attack by the Mafia, they will live. You win if the scum are eliminated, so choose wisely at Night, and try to lynch correctly during the Day.

Note: Doctors are 100% effective in Newbie Games (the person you protect will never die on the night they are protected), unless you are roleblocked. You may not protect yourself.

You are the

Cop

, and you can tell good from bad. Each Night, you may send a player's name to me; I will let you know if your investigation shows that they are Mafia or Town. You win if the scum are eliminated, so choose wisely at Night, and lynch well during the Day.

Note: Cops always get a correct result in Newbie Games (no sanity issues), unless you are roleblocked. You cannot investigate yourself.

You are a

Townie

, and you've got no special powers at Night. No investigations, no protection, no gun to shoot people. Your only powers are the ability to post, vote, and think. Help lynch Mafia during the Day, and you will win the game, along with the rest of the Town.

Even though many games start with Night, Newbie Games begin with Day once everyone has confirmed that they understand their role. Scum are allowed to talk by PM in the pre-game stage, but no other "night actions" may be taken.

Rules:

• Votes must be in bold for them to count, like this:
  Vote: mith
  . Unvotes should also be bolded (
  Unvote: JEEP
  ) so that I can spot them easier, but it's not required.
• A simple majority of votes (1/2 the number of living players plus one, rounded down) will achieve a lynch and end the Day. Unvoting after that point will not save someone's life. If a deadline is imposed, the required number of votes may be lowered, so be careful.
• Nights will last up to 72 hours, but may be shorter if all night choices are in before the deadline.
• Dead men tell no tales. If you get killed, stop talking until the game is over.
• Do not discuss this game with other players outside of this thread, unless your role PM specifically stated you could do so (as scum, and then only at night).
• Do not directly quote any PMs you receive; I have already posted the roles above, but this holds true for any future messages you receive from me as well.
• If you see something you don't understand,
  ASK!
  Newbie games are here for people to learn and understand; either I or one of the other players will respond to your question. If it has to do with your role, feel free to PM me directly.
• Treat this game as a commitment; if you're going to be gone for longer than 48 hours (not counting weekends),
  let us know
  . I will replace severely inactive players, but your fellow players may choose to lynch you themselves first.
• Any action which would be illegal to
  actually do
  is also illegal to
  fake
  (for example, posting a
  made-up
  PM that shows a Cop result of guilty/innocent).
• Have fun; don't be an ass;
  participate
  !

Also, I'm going to be deep, deep in the woods this weekend, so I'll have no access between early Saturday morning and around midday on Sunday.

[Mr. Flay]

The Internet is here, and replaces Mr_Bigby who has not picked up his role.

Day One will start as soon as TI confirms.

[The Internet]

[Alabaska J]

Sweet. And without further adieu,

vote: sthar8

as I hate nature and hope everything dies because of global warming!

[togamonkey]

Yay! My first match begins!

Vote: Sudo_Nym

for his ambiguous (that is to say, not directly town-related) rallying cry:

An Untimely But Hopefully Not Unduly Stressful Demise to Those Whose Opinions Are Not Entirely Reconcilable to Ours.

[Sudo_Nym]

And

vote: togamonkey

for not reading Terry Pratchet.

[sthar8]

Would it help if I told you that I built an extraordinarily large fire using nonstandard fuels, and so probably contributed to global warming a tiny bit?
Anyway, I'll

vote: Frenger

for being the first person without an avatar to post.

[Thoomor]

Vote: Ripley

for plotting to kill us all at night. I'm 25% sure of it.

[Ripley]

Vote: The Internet

, who is obviously to blame for everything.

[The Internet]

Vote: sthar8

Because I'm voting randomly.

[Norinel]

I suppose someone should say that ICs are partially here to help everyone learns the game, so do feel free to ask questions.

random vote: Frenger

for not having posted yet since Day 1 began.

[Frenger]

OMG U SUCK

Vote Norinel

[sthar8]

Thanks Norinel, I'll keep that in mind.
Am I correct in saying that our other ICs are Sudo_Nym and Ripley?

[togamonkey]

Heh, Terry Pratchet's on my list. I've got Good Omens somewhere in my messy room. Which book does that quote come from?

Unvote: Sudo_Nym

[Ripley]

Am I correct in saying that our other ICs are Sudo_Nym and Ripley?

That's right. I played a lot of newbie games under the 7-player setup that was used till a few months ago - but I'm just back from a break and this is my first game using this new 9-player setup. So any newbies not in their first game may well have some relevant experience that I don't.

[Sudo_Nym]

Which book does that quote come from?

Interesting Times. There's a whole range of similar quotes in there.

Back on point, this is also my first game in the new format, so I'm sure I'm going to have to make some adjustments as well. But feel free to ask questions about mafia or Pratchett- but, and this is important, don't expect any of the ICs to tell the truth; we're in it to win it, too...
