Set-up

This Newbie game is "semi-open" and will be using the F11 set-up. This game could be any one of the following:

1 Mafia Roleblocker, 1 Mafia Goon, 7 Vanilla Townies
1 Mafia Roleblocker, 1 Mafia Goon, 1 Cop, 1 Doctor, 5 Vanilla Townies
2 Mafia Goons, 1 Cop, 6 Vanilla Townies
2 Mafia Goons, 1 Doctor, 6 VanillaTownies

If either of the first two set-ups are being used and the situation occurs where the Mafia Goon is lynched first, the Mafia Roleblocker will still be able to submit both night kills and roleblocks.

Role PMs:

Here are all possible role PMs
Town
I wrote: You are a
Vanilla Townie
. You have no special abilities, other than the powers to discuss and vote. You win with the town, when all mafia are eliminated.
I wrote: You are a
Cop
. Each night you may PM me the name of one player and you will find out if they are town or mafia. You win with the town, when all mafia are eliminated.
I wrote:You are a
Doctor
. Each night you may PM the name of one player. That player will be protected from any kill attempts by the mafia. You win with the town, when all mafia are eliminated.
Mafia
I wrote:You are a
Mafia Roleblocker
, along with your partner <insert name here>, who is a Mafia Goon. Each night you can kill one person and roleblock a person. Roleblocking will prevent a person from using any night action. During the day, you must try and avoid being 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). You win when all the town are dead, or when nothing can prevent this eventuality.

Note: You may talk with your partner privately during confirmations (from the point of receiving this PM until the start of D1) to plan strategy, but no night actions will take place until Night One.

You may talk with your partner at Night, and send me a choice via PM of who you would like to kill/roleblock . You win when all the town are dead, or when nothing can prevent this eventuality.

Rules:

1: This is a game. Having fun is a requirement.
2: Please bold your votes. For example, Vote: RandomPerson. Votes that are not bolded will not be counted.
3: If you wish to change your vote, bold an unvote for the player you were voting and vote for the new player you are going to be voting. For example,
Unvote, Vote: ScummyPerson
. If you do not unvote in this format, your vote will not be counted.
4: Lynching will require a majority of the votes. You may
Vote: No Lynch
to decide to not lynch someone on a given day. No-lynching also requires a majority of the votes. Once a lynch is decided, the decision is final. Feel free to continue posting until the thread is locked, but unvoting before I check the thread will not prevent the player from being lynched.
5: If you get lynched or killed, you are dead. Post nothing; not even a “Bah!” post.
6: Any questions, concerns, desires for me to prod, whatever PM me.
7: Never quote anything that I PM to you.
7A: In relation to discussing ongoing games, adhere to the following guidelines:
a) Only refer to ongoing games which you are dead in
b) Even if you are dead, do not discuss the actions of other players in that game, or your own actions if doing so could potentially impact upon the other game (eg.It would be acceptable to say "In game X I was town and I did the same thing as I did here", but it would not be acceptable to say "Player P in the other game was stupid for thinking what I did was scummy, since he ignored post 123")
c) If in doubt, PM me and I will be happy to tell you whether or not a reference is acceptable.
8: Treat this game as a commitment and be considerate of me and your fellow players.
9: No small or invisible text, editing of your posts, etc.
10: Do not discuss this game outside the thread at any time, except if your role specifically allows you to do so.
11: You must confirm in thread.
12: If you do not post for 3 days (72hours) without notifying me that you will be away, you will be prodded. Not posting within 48 hours of the prod or getting prodded more than 3 times may result in replacement (subject to my own discretion).
13: If discussion lags, I reserve the right to exercise my discretion to impose a deadline.
14: If a majority is not reached by a deadline, the person with the highest number of votes will be lynched. In the case of a tie, the first person to reach that number of votes will be lynched.
15:
Red
is my colour. Don't use it.
16: 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.

I'm going to try an interesting strategy. This strategy will probably backfire horribly, causing me to get lynched fairly quickly, but, meh, that's why I'm here--to learn. :)

Confirmed.
I'm back! Well, kind-of.

/confirm

Mastin, often newbie player thinks it a good strategy to be scummy on purpose in the interest of catching scum. Be aware that it pretty much never works since town have very little means of distinguishing between a townie's misguided antics and a true scum committing scumtells.

Hey everybody. Just to keep you updated, WeatheredClown has approx 12 hours to confirm. If he fails, I will seek a replacement. Hopefully, that won't take too long. Sorry for this unusual delay.

I hope I'm not jumping the gun, but orangepenguin and springlullaby are IC and WeatheredClown has played a game on these forums before, while the rest of us are getting our toes wet for the first time, right?

So we probably ought to expect the most sophistication from the two IC and a bit more from WeatheredClown.

This is my first game as an official IC (not counting one where I became an IC midgame), so I hope I am sophisticated enough for your taste. :D

Let's get this party started.

Vote: Orangepenguin

For having an overly conspicuous avatar and being an IC.

FOS: Mastin. Be open. Don't go out and say you're going to try something unusual, it just makes you look like complete scum.

FOS without a vote is kinda scummy pana. I don't think 5 votes are going to spring up out of nowhere to mislynch, and an FOS when you've got no active vote means about as much as punching a stone wall: it hurts you more than him.

You can always unvote, just pay attention to the thread.

Vote: Panamon


I think it's illogical to state that because this is a newbie game, Mastin's self-proclaimed strategy is scum behaviour. Until we figure out what that strategy is, I think it's not safe to use it as a reason to suspect him.

That being said, I think the fact that Panamon was over-eager to begin making accusations, but conservative in voting may or may not indicate guilt.

Should Panamon provide a better explanation for his accusation and his choice to "FoS" rather than voting, I will reconsider my vote.

I'm not usually a fan of voting at the very beginning of games. Not a tell, just how I play. I'm a little curious of what strategy might be used in a newbie game though.

I'd like to put this out to the ICs: the mafia was allowed to talk from the time they got their PMs to when the first day officially started. Would it be a legit strategy for the mafia to slightly delay the first day so as to plan things out a little more? That is, should we be considering for a WeatheredClown lynch?
