Newbie 03 - Game Over

Post Post #0 (isolation #0) » Mon Dec 08, 2003 3:44 am

Post by rite »

Welcome to the small but prosperous town of Villageton. There may have been only eight of you, but boy, you seemed to get along well. That is, until Antrax was found littered with bullet holes one scary morning (let's call it "one"). Luckily, you find a slip of paper that reveals the secret identities of those in the town

Note: I've shamelessly stolen DP's roles, as they work very well for a seven person mini. As in his game, we are going to be starting with a day: it works better for the set up, and keeps any new players from dying before they even get a chance to play. I've killed Antrax off to get us in the right mood :wink:


The roles:

You are the mafia (2). You may only discuss with eachother during the game's "night", not during the "day". You let me know before the night's deadline who will be your victim. You win the game when all the other players are dead.

You are the cop (1). Every "night" before the deadline you send me an email 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.

You are the doctor (1). Every "night" before the deadline you send me an email with a name of your choice, and that player cannot die if attacked by the mafia that night. You can not 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.

You are a townie (3). You are not allowed to communicate with any of the other players outside the thread. You win the game when the mafia are dead.

Alive (4):
Kerplunk (Townie, dead at endgame)
max22 (Cop, dead at endgame)
QX (Victorious Scum)
Talitha (Victorius Scum)

Dead:
Antrax
Stimpy (Townie)
bloojay (Doctor)
nard054 (Townie)

Status: Game Over-- Talitha and QX, scum, have won!

The rules (Also stolen from DP, please read them carefully):

[01] Have fun and don't be a jerk. Please have consideration for the other players and the mod, and actually PLAY the game by posting and voting.
[02] No communication outside the thread unless your role allows you to do so and then only in the game's nights.
[03] Get your choices in before the deadlines. If not, no choice will be made for you.
[04] No quoting my or others emails.
[05] If you're dead YOU'RE DEAD. No more posting relevant information after that.
[06] Lynching will be carried out once a regular majority is reached - and cannot be undone by unvoting. If I impose a day deadline, lynching will require at least half of the regular majority. In case of a tie, first come first served.
[07] Only votes in BOLD will be counted. Please clearly unvote if you want to change your vote.
[08] Do NOT edit or delete your posts! If you made a coding error, just post again.
[09] Do NOT post in invisible text.
[10] The mod is always right. Accept the decisions, and if you want to discuss them, take it to email/message, or do so after the game has finished.

If during the game anything is unclear, send me a message, I'll try to get back to you ASAP!

All confirmations have been received, Day One has begun!

Please feel free to post, and no deadline has been set.

The day ends when four votes have been made, or a preset deadline has expired.

Have fun, and don't be afraid to ask questions!

Deadline set: Monday, December 15, 2003.

A big part of mafia games are deadlines. Once a deadline has expired, the day has ended, and the player with the most amount of votes will be lynched. If there are two players with the largest amount, then the player who gained that many votes
first
will be lynched.

This deadline has been put into effect to encourage talking. If that does happen, then it will most likely be retracted.

Deadline extended to Monday 8:00 EST.

I don't know what I was thinking, scheduling a deadline during the middle of school :P .

If conversation picks up, deadline will be extended.

As twilight falls, the small group descends on Stimpy.

"Wait, no, stop! Trust me, I'm a townie!"

"String him up!" call the other six members of the town.

So they do. He was indeed a townie.

Deadline for choices: Saturday, Noon, EST

Morning rises. As y'all gather in the town square, one of you doesn't.

Because he's dead.

Bloojay, doctor
, has fallen to the scum. With five alive, it's three to lynch.

And two of you are scum. For the new people, this means that you MUST lynch scum today, if town wants to win the game.

Think about it.

C'mon guys, up and at 'em, I'd hate to have to impose a deadline this early.

Mod?
Was the mafia able to communicate with each other before the game started, really would like to know that.
My intention was not to let them speak, but now that you mention it, it wasn't entirely clarified.

One of the two remaining scum-- could you PM me and tell me if you communicated w/ your scum partner before the game started? I hope you didn't, but you aren't in trouble if you are-- it's just that the rest of the players deserve to know.

As the day closes, nard is strung up gleefully by three of the townspeople.

Two of which are scum.

Talitha and QX, scum, have won!


I don't think I need to post who was who-- everything has been revealed by now.

It is traditional to discuss the game after it's done-- oldbies, be sure to give the newbies some critiquing!
