Newbie 2087: Celebrating Betty White

Moderator: fferyllt

Betty White witnessed and influenced 100 years of Amercana, particularly, but not exclusively celluloid Americana. This game's flavor will celebrate her life and and a small sampling of her work and achievements. The flavor is purely for your enjoyment (and mine!), and has no effect whatsoever on the NewD3 newbie game setup and rules.

Setup Info

Newbie Setup
Newbie Setup

NewD3 (as designed by RadiantCowbells):

ABC
Mafia
Mafia Roleblocker
Mafia Rolecop
Mafia Goon
Row 1
Town Cop and Town Doctor
Town Tracker and Town Friendly Neighbor
Town Cop and Vanilla Townie
Row 2
Town Jailkeeper and Town Tracker
Town Jailkeeper and Town Friendly Neighbor
Town Jailkeeper and Vanilla Townie
Row 3
Town Mason and Town Mason
Town Tracker and Town Doctor
Town Mason and Town Mason

Each Newbie Game will be given a setup that incorporates one mafia role from the top of a column, and then two town roles from a row below the selected mafia role. The remaining six roles will be filled in by
one mafia goon
and
five vanilla townies
appropriately, to create a
2-mafia
and
7-town
setup.

All Newbie games use the Natural Action Resolution system for determining Night action effects.
Mafia Roleblocker
action takes precedence over a
Town Jailkeeper
action should that apply.

Mafia are able to communicate in their Private Topic at all times.

Rules:


In-Game Behavior


1.
Site Rules are in effect. Please familiarize yourself and follow them.


2. Posts consisting purely of insults without game content are not tolerated. I penalize such posts with a strike. Three strikes and you're out. Severe issues will be reported to the listmods.

3. Claiming scum is allowed. Claiming scum with another player (whether as a joke or not) will result in severe consequences for you, and consequences for your team.

4. Play towards your win condition. Gambits are fine, directly harming your own team is not.

5. Loophole abuse is not tolerated.

6. Have fun! There are a lot of great people who play, discuss mafia game theory and practice, and discuss life, the universe and everything, too, here at Mafiascum.net. During and after this game, please take a look around the site and get to know us. I think you'll like what you see.


Voting and Deadlines:



1. Voting must be bolded in the form
Vote: Player
- bold tags

Code: Select all

[b]Vote: Player[/b]
or

VOTE: Player vote tags

Code: Select all

[vote]Player[/vote]


or else they will not be counted. Unvotes are not required to change your vote, but they are helpful. Please note: I'm using an automated vote counter.
If you don't use the vote tags, be sure to add a colon after the word "Vote".


2. Votes inside of spoiler tags will not be counted.

3. I don't mind if you use nicknames/abbreviations when you vote someone. But if I have no idea who you're voting for, then the vote won't be counted. Please note: the vote counting application may be more finicky about nicknames than I am. If you notice that your vote hasn't been recorded, please let me know.

4. Eliminations require a majority of votes: (number of living players/2) +1, rounded down.

5. If there's no majority at deadline, there's no elimination.

6. When the hammer vote is cast, all players, including the eliminated may talk freely until the final vote count and eliminated player's card-flip have been posted. I will lock the game thread at that time.

6. Once you are dead, you may not post in the game thread again. Not even a "Bah" post.

7. Deadlines are set at 10 days on Day 1 and 7 days for subsequent game days. and Extensions may be granted if there are replacements near deadline, or under other extraordinary circumstances (e.g., site outages, major holidays).


Prods and Replacements:


Replacing Out
If you need to replace out of this game, send me a private message about it. Do NOT post that you want to be replaced, or that you have asked to be replaced in the game thread.
I will acknowledge your replacement request by replying to your PM. From that time forward, you are out of the game. Do not make any more posts in the game thread after that.

This is a site rule that can entail penalties if broken. It applies to all mafia games at Mafiascum.net unless the game moderator explicitly states otherwise.



1. Prods will be given if you do not post in
36 hours
.

2. You will be replaced if you either do not respond to a prod, or need to be prodded more than 3 times total. You may request for a player to be prodded at any time. Prods requested when a player has been absent for less than 36 hours do not count for replacement purposes.

3. If you are V/LA (on vacation/have limited access), make sure I know. If you are V/LA for more than a week, I suggest requesting replacement, but it's not required. If a lengthy V/LA is adversely affecting the game (e.g., if you are not able to post minimally during that time), then your mod may replace you.without penalty.


Misc.



1. Dark Blue (#004080) is the color I will use for mod posts. Please don’t use this color or otherwise try to make your posts look like mod posts.

2. You can talk about the game in the private threads given to you via PM, assuming you were given one. Otherwise, please refrain from talking about this game outside of this thread, and don't talk about other games inside of this game. This is a sitewide rule. See announcement here.


3. No editing, deleting, using invisible texts, write in code, using font sizes less than 70, etc...

4. Don't quote or talk about any mod-recieved PMs. Your flavor is for you to enjoy and you only, until the end of the game.

5. Vocaroos, Youtubes, etc, may not be used to make game-content posts. e.g., do not record a vacoroo with your thoughts about the game and post it.

6. All Private Topics (PTs) shared by two or more players during this game will be released unredacted. This pertains to Dead/Spectator PT, Mafia PT, and Mason PT (if there is one). Please keep this in mind if you have access to a shared PT.


6. I make mistakes. If you notice I make one, please let me know.

7. Questions are vastly preferable to Modkills. If you're thinking about posting or doing something that you're unsure is within the letter or spirit of these rules and the game of mafia, then ask me privately about it first.

Introduction and Tips
Thanks to Irrelephant11 and others for their contributions to these tips.


Here are some helpful links (a lot of them from our helpful wiki):

-> Forum Rules and Guidelines
-> The Glossary
-> Commonly Used Abbreviations
-> The Newbie Guide
-> Articles on How to Play Well (be sure to check the dates these were written/updated, as good advice changes over time)


Key Concepts and Tips


Activity


Try to check in at least once a day.
Besides the activity requirements listed in the moderator's original post, it's just necessary for a fun and healthy game that everyone
plays
. If you post very rarely, or only post a little bit at a time, you may get scumread for lurking. Even if you are not scumread for it, what's the fun in playing a game where multiple people are hardly participating?

Site Meta


Meta is the description of how people on Mafiascum like to play mafia. Things can be different on other online mafia sites, or if you play IRL, so it's good to know what's expected of you on this site. These aren't "rules", per se, but if you don't follow these guidelines it is likely things will go poorly for you on MS. Some examples are...

Random Voting Stage (RVS)

Games on MafiaScum almost always begin with what we call the Random Voting Stage (RVS). At this point in the game, we are in a low information game state (except the mafia, which know everyone’s alignment). As a way to provoke reaction, start a discussion, and try to determine alignment, people will usually vote for non-serious reasons. As the discussion progresses, we will eventually get the game moving and progress out of RVS.

Voting, E-x, and Hammers

E-x is a way to convey how far away a player is away from elimination. For example, you should always announce that you are putting someone at E-1 (1 vote away from an elimination) so that someone doesn’t come along and accidentally vote for that player's elimination. This also prevents Mafia-aligned players from coming along and placing the final vote to eliminate (“hammer”) and claiming ignorance about doing so. You may also see E-2 and E-3 (2 votes away from elimination and 3 votes away from elimination, respectively).

Before you hammer a player, state your intent to hammer (usually done in bold) and ask the player to claim their role. This is done to prevent power roles from being eliminated, and can sometimes get Mafia-aligned players to be caught (via counter claiming). It's best to then allow other players to react and discuss the claim before hammering.


Claiming Your Role

It is almost always best to not claim your role unless you are at E-1 and have been asked to claim as part of an “intent to hammer.” This is because, as a town power role (“PR”), if you out prematurely, you are likely to be night-killed (“NK’d”). As a Vanilla Townie (“VT”), claiming early helps the mafia team narrow down the setup and possible PR candidates. An exception to this would be if a mafia player claimed your role, claiming early to counter the false claim (“CC”) would out the mafia player, and would be a benefit to the town.

Do not fake claim a power role as town!
While it may help you avoid getting eliminated, you might cause a real PR to out themselves by counterclaiming - then the mafia will know who the PR is, and you will probably get eliminated for lying to town. Feel free to fake a claim as scum, though, if you think it would help.

ELo

ELo is the shortened representation of “Eliminate or Lose.” ELo in the Newbie Queue is when there are 3 remaining players, 2 of which are town and 1 is mafia; or when there are 5 remaining players, 3 of which are town and 2 are mafia. It is important in these situations that the town aligned players do not carelessly vote like is done during RVS or early days, as the mafia player(s) can organize and instantly provide the necessary votes to eliminate (“quickhammer”) and win the game.

Conclusion

Mafia is hard!
As town, it can be hard to figure things out, and stressful when people think you're scum.
That's okay!
Just share your thoughts on who you think is scum as they come to you, and don't be afraid to change your mind. As scum, it can be hard to lie convincingly, and stressful when people think you're scum. Don't let that scare you! Try to think of what you would post if you were town, and don't be afraid to "change your mind".

This is a game.
Have fun!

This is the Pregame Phase. I'll send out Role Private Messages (PMs) during the next few hours. Please respond to your Role PM with your alignment (Town or Mafia) and Role Name to confirm that you have received it.

You have 48 hours from the time I send you the Role PM to respond. If you cannot respond by then, I will seek a replacement.

Once 8 of the 9 players have confirmed via PM reply and 24 hours have passed, OR 48 hours after all Role PMs have been sent, whichever comes first, the game will begin!

I'll update this post as we progress through Pregame.

All Role PMs will go out shortly have gone out!


If you would like a private topic for your personal notes about this game, please send me a PM and I'll get you set up!



Image


1 of 9 players have confirmed. The game will start in (expired on 2022-01-13 01:16:25) if 8 players have confirmed by then.

The game is being re-rolled due to a problem with a Role PM. You will receive a new role PM shortly, and then the confirmation stage will start over again.

One player has not picked up their role PMs yet. They have 24 additional hours in which to post in this thread. At that point if they haven't, I'll start seeking a replacement.

The game will begin momentarily!

If it weren't the weekend, a prod would be due in about 3 hours. I'll PM Malcolm Tucker, but it won't count as a prod. Any needed prods will go out on Sunday evening, my (US Pacific) time.

Her family moved to Los Angeles when she was two, and Betty White attended Beverly Hills High School. Her first career choice was forest ranger, but at the time women didn't qualify for forest ranger jobs. Her interest in performing began with a graduation play she wrote and played the lead in.

One month after her high school graduation, Betty White and a classmate sang songs from The Merry Widow on an experimental television show. Television, itself, was still experimental at the time.

Her just barely started career was put on hold during World War II. She drove a PX truck with military supplies to the Hollywood Hills, and she participated in events for troops before they were deployed overseas. White said of her wartime assignments: "It was a strange time and out of balance with everything."

As the war wound down, White joined the Bliss-Hayden little theater. The purpose of the theater was to give young actors a chance to perform and get used to doing so in front of audiences. She starred in a comedy about a girl who pretends to be her older sister known as “dear Ruth“ as her first performance there. An agent saw the performance, and encouraged her to seriously pursue an acting career.

She took the agent's advice to heart and pursued an acting career. But, movie studios turned her down because she was "not photogenic". So, she tried out radio instead. She read commercials and played bit parts, making about $5 per show.

Bandy Productions developed a television comedy called "Life with Elizabeth", with White portraying the title character. The show was nationally syndicated from 1953 to 1955, allowing White to become one of the few women in television at the time with full creative control in front of and behind the camera.

Due to ongoing legibility issues, I request that going forward, players not use color tags in their posts in this game, unless they first check the legibility on all of the MS templates.

The plot element that set Date With The Angels apart from other sitcoms, was Vickie Angel's daydream sequences. The show's sponsor, the Plymouth car company demanded that the fantasy sequences be done away with, because they felt that fantasy doesn't connect with home audiences. Imagine that.

Betty White's next sitcom was the beloved Mary Tyler Moore series from 1973 to 1977. The character of Sue Ann Nivens was originally a one-time appearance on a single episode in Season 3. Sue Ann was the star of the "Happy Homemaker Show". On the show she was incredibly saccharine and bubbly. But when the cameras stopped rolling she was acerbic, judgmental and man crazy. She was a hit, and the single episode became regular appearances during the last 3 seasons of the Mary Tyler Moore Show. She won 2 Emmys for her portrayal of Sue Ann.




5-ish minutes of Betty and other members of the cast and crew talking about Sue Ann's personality along with some great clips of her performances.

After the Mary Tyler Moore show ended in 1977, several spin-off shows were spawned...Rhoda, Lou Grant, Phyllis all were based on MTM actors playing their characters from the earlier show. Except for the Betty White Show. She played Joyce Whitman, a sharp-witted actress in Hollywood who stars in her own TV show called Undercover Woman. It was a sitcom based on a fictional TV show, but that's pretty much where the parallels end. Although it was good, it wasn't a huge success. Fans wanted to see Sue Ann Nivens, and that's not what the show was about.

Betty White was a recurring character on another spin-off in the early 1980s: Mama's Family, based on a recurring sketch on the Carol Burnett show. The sketches were about a darkly funny, down and out, dysfunctional family. The full show wasn't so dark and evolved into a sunny and cartoonish sitcom over time.

Fun trivia! Betty White had the opportunity to mix her two main types of TV appearances when part of the Mama's Family cast appeared in costume and in character on the Family Feud game show.

Day 4 Begins!


Image

Day 4 could only be dedicated to "The Golden Girls".


“Rue had not wanted to be Rose, but learned that if she didn’t she couldn’t be in the show. Jay said to Rue, ‘I want you to go in the other room and humor me. Study the Blanche lines instead.’ She, of course, was, like, ‘OK!’ and when she rehearsed Blanche and was so good, Jay took it upon himself to tell Betty that I want you to switch. When he first told Betty, she wasn’t happy about it. She went along with him, because she’s a team player, but she didn’t know what she was going to do with Rose. The end of that story is that Rue said to me, and I’ve heard her say other things, too, that Betty did something with Rose that [Rue] never would have known how to do. Which was that Betty, being the brilliant woman that she is, when she’s talking to you there’s that twinkle in her eye and you know she’s five steps ahead of you. You see the intricate machinery in her eyes, yet the moment they yelled action for Rose, her face went totally blank. Rue said that Betty was able to drain the light and intelligence out of her eyes when she was playing Rose and just really take everything literally like Rose would, and not show the comic genius inside her head.”

The fantasy of The Golden Girls was that when you grow older, your friends will be there for you. That you’ll be able to take care of each other till the end, through thick and thin. Sadly, the fantasy itself was destroyed in the series finale. Dorothy got married and moved out, leaving the rest of the friend group unable to afford their home and lifestyle.

Unfortunately, the timing of the game ending coincides with an appointment that I must race to!

I'll post the PTs in this post as soon as I return. Shouldn't take long.

In the meanwhile, this thread is unlocked and please discuss your thoughts about the game!

Korina's personal notes thread: viewtopic.php?f=90&t=88593

There was a software glitch when I tried to add Korina to the Mafia PT, which prevented him from being able to read the thread. I wound up creating a new Mafia PT and quoting all the posts from the original. Our system Admin, BorkJerfkin couldn't find anything wrong on the database end, and the problem cleared up the next morning with no human intervention. Hopefully, this was a one-time glitch and won't ever happen again! Since the 2nd Mafia PT contains all the content of the first one, I won't release both of them.


If you had a Personal Notes PT for this game and would like me to release it, please let me know. It's entirely up to you whether it becomes public or not.

In post 1338, StrangeMatter wrote:A good tip for a going into a 3 player ELO is asking yourself as town, "Why is X alive, and why was this town killed?"

Sure Ockham's Razor may apply but often thinking about the "Why?" is one way of catching scum.
A question I like to ask myself is "Why was I invited to the ELO table?"

Somnus, I thought you played really well. The Newbie Queue can be intimidating for Newbie scum, and even players who are experienced at mafia on other sites. You have no idea of the skills, strengths and weaknesses of the other players. And while that's true in reverse and as mafia new to MS players can take advantage of being unknown and underestimated, it's still usually a hard slog to the finish line.

Your kill choices, in particular were great. Getting a mason on Night 1 and not losing a partner on day 1 in the mason setup makes for a much easier game, and you and Korina pulled off both of those challenges.

Thank you all so much for playing! Thanks to the players who played from the start and thanks to the players who replaced in! I hope you enjoyed the game. I enjoyed hosting it for you!

You're encouraged to keep playing newbies as long as you like, of course, but I humbly suggest trying out some of the other queues, if you're feeling brave and would like to check out other game styles and sizes! Here are several games that are currently in sign-ups.


If you liked the "solve the setup" interactions with a semi-open setup like the NewD3 setup, check out the open queue!
viewtopic.php?p=13246811#p13246811



There's also the Micro Queue! 9 Players Maximum, and all sorts of setups!
viewtopic.php?p=13247223#p13247223



Prefer a little more secret setup and try out a larger pond? Try the Mini Normal queue!
viewtopic.php?p=13246066#p13246066



Would you like to try out a high-flavor and/or mechanically complex game? The Mini Theme queue might be just right for you!
viewtopic.php?p=13243873#p13243873


Special Event this weekend: Marathon games!


Usually 3 or so times per year, MS hosts marathon games. These run very quickly: A day phase might last 30 minutes (or less). Setups are usually small - max sizes around 9-13 players and not terribly complicated.

The marathon weekends are a lot fun and everyone is welcome to play!

Learn more about the Valentines Weekend Marathon games here!
