Mini 627: Riverword Smalltown

Smalltown: Smalltown is a mafia variation in which all roles are usually unique and public. The town (in a randomly selected order) picks from the available roles. Then the alignments are randomized (and are not public). There are 3 mafia, 1 SK, and 8 townies. Check out this game as a reference: Heroes Smalltown

Mod: curiouskarmadog

The Back Story:

Everyone who has ever been born, lived, or died on Earth wakes up at the same time in a new land. You are “reborn” hairless (though it grows back later), in your mid 20’s, healthy, in your prime, and with all memories of your past life and experiences. Everyone is born with a solid metallic cylinder (about 2 feet in length) attached to your dominate wrist. Curiously enough, everyone seems to be able to understand everyone else. You awoken in a landscape that is beautiful and is lush with plant and animal life. The air is clean and the water is pure. The biggest river you have ever seen cuts through the land and runs as far as the eye can see in both directions. Dotted along the shore of this massive river are tall structures (roughly the size of a small house) that can best be described as a “metal mushrooms”. Upon examination on of these metal mushrooms (MMs) it is discovered that each have approximately 100 holes roughly the size of your cylinder. Upon inserting your cylinder you discover that small door that open and inside is a meal that you are accustomed to. After some trial and error, you find that you can do this 3 times a day.

Eventually people gravitate toward these MMs and begin to set up camps. It is peaceful and the landscape is breath taking. However even in this “paradise” men draw lines and find reasons to try to control and kill each other. You all have come to this particular MM to set up camp. You have named this camp “Homestead”. Some of you want to explore and try to find out the reasons behind why and how you got here, but for now you need the safety and shelter of the camp. However, there are now forces that threaten you in your new home….they must be eliminated before anyone can leave to ensure the safety of those friends you leave behind and have come to care for. Several have come forward as leaders of the Homestead. They are:

The Rules

(Parts blatantly and inexcusably ripped off from such greats as Seol, Xdaamno, "Mr. Grey", and Guardian)

Pregame Rules:

1.) Pregame is defined as the period of time up to the point where all roles are drafted and the thread is locked (before Day 1).
2.) During the Pregame, players will be randomly ordered and listed. In the provided order, each player may draft the name of the Riverworld Resident they wish to play by posting in the thread. This continues until all players have selected a role.
3.) Players may not draft their role until all previous players on the list has drafted theirs. Each player will have 12 hours to draft their Resident. If the player does not draft their Resident in the allotted time, the following player may “jump the queue” and choose their Resident. The player that got “jumped” can draft at any time.
4.) Once all players have drafted their Residents, I will send out alignment PMs. No player will be aware of their alignment prior to having drafted a Resident. At this point, the pregame will be over and the game with start with Day 1.

Randomized Order for drafting:
1.) Claus
2.) NabakovNabakov
3.) armlx
4.) Cyberbob
5.) Alabaska J
6.) Rishi
7.) shafted
8.) TheHermit
9.) Megatron
10.) W!nt3r
11.) Twomz
12.) Pug89

Game Rules:

1.) I am human, if you disagree or feel I have screwed something up, please PM me.
2.) Do Not Quote PMs. Paraphrasing is fine, if you are uncertain what is acceptable, please PM me. Violators will be modkilled at my discretion.
3.) Votes (and unvotes) must be in bold. Example:

Vote: curiouskarmadog.

4.) Day lasts until one of the following happens: a player has a majority of votes, no lynch has a majority of votes, or the deadline comes. Days have an automatic three week deadline. This is mostly not revocable (I might consider an extension to find a replacement). Please consider the deadline as a limit, not the target. Nights last will last about 72 hours.
5.) Majority = lynch. 50% or less = no lynch.
6.) Don’t use code or tiny text to hide posts, don’t talk outside of the thread about this game, don’t reference other ongoing games, don’t edit or delete posts, and don’t post after you are dead (not even a "bah" post). If you think you are about to do something that violates theses rules, PM me. Violators will be modkilled at my discretion.
7.) When the game starts I will be using

blue text

, I would prefer if you would use the normal text.
8.) You will be prodded if you haven’t posted in 72 hours. I am using mith’s 3 strikes and you are replaced rule. Please PM me if you plan on being gone a certain amount of time.

9.) My word is final.

Alignment Rules

1.) If you are mafia and submit a kill, you can not use your ability in the same night. Unless you have been motivated.
2.) The SK can use his ability AND submit a kill in the same night.
3.) If one Mafioso or Serial Killer and one town-aligned player are the last two players alive, the Mafioso/Serial Killer wins. If one Mafioso and Serial Killer are the last two players remaining, everyone dies and no one wins.
3.5) If the final two players are a mafioso (or SK) and a townie with a killing role, it would be a double loss (both would kill each other that night). If the final two players are a posioned mafioso (or SK) and a townie, it is a double loss (scum dies by posion and townie dies by scum).
4.) If investigated, the SK will result in an "innocent".


Town wins, when all threatening forces are eliminated.

Mafia wins, when no other alignment can win.

SK wins, when he is the last one standing.

Sample PMs

Townie

You are a townie. You have developed a name for yourself and the camp respects and looks up to you. You have developed relationships within the camp and have begun to feel like these people of Homestead are like a family. Though close to those of Homestead, your need to explore Riverworld and find answers to it’s mysteries are pulling you away. However, there are others that are threatening the freedom and lives of Homestead’s residents. You can not leave, until those forces are eliminated.

You win when all forces that oppose Homestead are vanquished.

Mafia

When you look at Riverworld, you see a yet to be developed vulnerable place that is ripe for the taking. But first you need to settle matters inside your own camp. There are several townies preaching ideas of democracy and equal say. This simply will not do and will ultimately hurt your plans for conquest. Once this group is taken care, the other weak minded fools in the camp will fall under your leadership. From there, you may begin your plans.

You are part of the Homestead Mafia, with X and Y. Each night one of your group may submit a kill (by PM). If a member submits a kill he may not use his ability (unless motivated).

You win when no other factions have a possibility of winning.

SK

You are a sick bastard. Riverworld is not the paradise you were promised and these ignorant self righteous fools are once again trying to put chains around your neck with rules, governments, and responsibilities. No one will ever control you again. You are free to do whatever your heart desires...and right now, your heart desires to kill.

You win no other factions have a possibility of winning.

Role Notes:

When a Resident is chosen they will be highlighted with

green

Kills have there own death scenes. Mafia uses blunt trama, SK slit throats, Vigs uses posion and spears, Bomb uses drowning

If the Role Absorber is targetted by a one shot ability, they get the one shot ability not all of the one shot abilities. Example. the Inventor targets the Role Absorber with a one shot NK Immune. In turn, The Role Absorber not only as the ability to be NK Immuned for one night, but now has the ability to give someone else a one shot NK ability. Note the Absorber does not have the other one shot abilities that the Inventor offers.

NK Immune does work as an antidote for posion. If the NK immune is used during the same night a poisoned victim is going to die, the effects of the poison are negated.

Order of Roles:

Jailkeeper
Hider
Motivate
NK Immune
Killings
All Other
Doc
Forensic Investigator

Please if you have role related questions, ask before you choose your Resident.

[curiouskarmadog]

OK, Pregame has officially started. Again, if you have questions, please ask.

Claus, you are the lucky bastard who gets to choose first, you have 12 hours.

[Claus]

I never Played with a post restriction before!

I'm Amit!

Two questions:

Can I vote and post two words in the same post?

What is "back to back" posting?

[shaft.ed]

Damn I didn't think anyone would take him

[curiouskarmadog]

I never Played with a post restriction before!

I'm Amit!

Two questions:

Can I vote and post two words in the same post?

What is "back to back" posting?

yes, you can vote and post your two words.

dont use your two words in one post, then post another two words immeidately after in a different post. You Resident has a social restriction, so play it in the spirit of the game.

NabNab, you are up.

[Claus]

Ok. So Back to back = double posting. The word seemed to imply something different.

This will be fun

[NabakovNabakov]

I like to keep my options open

/Beezh

[armlx]

I'll take Ge'tck.

[shaft.ed]

I'm assuming Future Man works with both lynches and NK attempts? It will also be spent prior to a Doc protection correct?

[curiouskarmadog]

I'm assuming Future Man works with both lynches and NK attempts? It will also be spent prior to a Doc protection correct?

Future Man works for both lynches and NK. If the Doc protects Future Man in the same night there is an attempt on his life (ie a kill), the Doc will protect him like normal. Example: Future Man has two lives going into Night 2, Night 2 the mafia targets him for the kill. If the Doc also protects him Night 2, Day 3, Future Man will still have 2 lives.


Also Cyberbob is up

[shaft.ed]

Nother question. Does the Hider die if targeting mafia or the SK, or only if targeting someone who themselves does not survive the night.

Also if the hider targets future man, and the future man loses a life but does not die, will the Hider die?

[Cyberbob]

I'll take Diego.

[curiouskarmadog]

Nother question. Does the Hider die if targeting mafia or the SK, or only if targeting someone who themselves does not survive the night.

Also if the hider targets future man, and the future man loses a life but does not die, will the Hider die?

good questions.

The hider does not die if he hides behind mafia or the SK (unless they die).

If Future man does not die (but loses a life) the hider is OK, if the hider hides behind future man, and future man dies, than so does the hider.

[curiouskarmadog]

Alabaska J, your turn to draft.

[Alabaska J]

Sorry, summer camp plus family movie night equals time crunch.


I'll be D67.3B, the future man.

[Claus]

Everyone is picking the roles Shaft.ed wants...

[curiouskarmadog]

Rishi, your turn to draft

[Rishi]

Solracia

[curiouskarmadog]

shafted is up...

[Claus]

Do you guys want to discuss setup choices?

Someone should pick stephen king so we can break the setup

[curiouskarmadog]

speaking of the set up, I have made one change (doesnt matter since the SK has not been randomly selected yet). To give the SK a chance to win, he can now submit a kill and use his ability in the same night.

[shaft.ed]

Phew, I was wondering how you intended him to have any chance.

One last Hider related question. Pretty sure I understand this right, but if the Hider hides they cannot be targeted for watching or tracking, but if their target is watched they will then be seen?

I'll take the Claire Geller either way.

[curiouskarmadog]

Yes, if the hider hides he can not be seen by watching or tracking (if the hider was the target of those abilities). If he hider's target is watched, the hider will be seen.

The Hermit is up
