Newbie 1053: Wait, what? Game over?!

Sotty7 · Post Post #0 (isolation #0) » Wed Jan 19, 2011 4:48 am

Hello! Welcome! This is newbieville, a brand spanking new closed gate neighborhood that has just been built. How lovely! You and nine other people have decided to abandon the rat race and move into the country to live in peace and harmony with each other. How quaint! The mayor of the town is a lovely woman called Sotty7, really I have heard nothing but excellent things about her. She really is the bees knees! Now we're all here, lets go say hello shall we?

Oh dear.... This, this... No! How could this be?

Look over there! By her mail box, there is a body... It's.. It's Sotty7! Someone killed her! Shot right in the back. The gates are closed! That means one of you are responsible! There is only one way to figure out just who is behind this dastardly act.... We must lynch everyday at dusk! Yes! This is the only way to save our neighborhood! Well, what are you looking at me for? Get to it!

General rules

This is a game. HAVE FUN!
Respect your fellow players at
all times.
If I feel attacks are getting too personal or out of hand I will replace/mod kill you as I see fit.
Do not quote any private mod/player communications. Do not pretend to quote private mod/player communications. This means
anything
to do with Mod sent PMs
inculding
timestamps. Doing any of these things will result in a modkill.
There is to be
no
communication outside this thread unless your PM states otherwise.
This is my color. Please don't use it.

Game play rules

Mod kills will end the day.
All votes must be in all
bold
to count and in the following two formats:
Vote: Sotty
or VOTE: Sotty. Unvotes are nice, but not required. I will not tolerate any kind of voting tricks. You have been warned.
A lynch will be reached when a majority of players (one-half of the living players plus one) vote for a specific player.
Once this point is reached, no amount of unvoting will stop the lynch.
Each day will have a deadline of three weeks. In extreme circumstances I will extend the deadline by a few days (no more than a week)
If a majority hasn't been reached by the deadline, then there will be a
no lynch
Each night will have a deadline of three days.
Once a lynch has been reached, all players, (including the lynched player) may continue to post until I can get on and lock the thread.
Once you're dead.. Well you're dead. No more posting, dead people can't type! They also can't talk to others still in the game and tell them any info they may or may not have. Simple “bah” posts are allowed, I will delete anything else.

The everything else rules

No invisible text, encrypted text, stupidly small text or hiding text inside [ color = black ] tags.
I will try and get a votecount up every page or every 24 hours. Feel free to request a vote count at any time.
Prods will go out if you haven't posted in 72 hours. If you don't pick up that prod in 48 hours I will look for a replacement.
If you think you won't be able to post in the thread for a couple of days then please post a notice letting everyone know just that.
Treat this game as a commitment. Be considerate – don’t leave us hanging.
Bold all requests to the mod to make them easier for me not to miss.
I'm human, I make mistakes. Feel free to point out mistakes with small things such as the votecount in thread. If you have issues with the game on a bigger level then please PM me.

The F11 setup is the current game format used in Newbie games. To prevent the development of game-breaking strategies, these Newbie Games are Semi-Open, wherein the actual game setup is randomly chosen from one of four possible setups as detailed below:

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

If either of the first two setups are in play, and the situation occurs where the Goon is lynched first, the Roleblocker will still be able to submit both night kills and roleblocks (roleblocking is a function of the Roleblocker; night kills are a function of the scum team as a whole).

These are the Role PMs that have potentially been sent to the players:

Mafia-Aligned players:

Mafia Goon:

You are a member of the Mafia along with your partner,

. Since your plot to quietly overtake the town has failed, you will attempt take it by force by eliminating the others until you outnumber the populace.

During the day, try to blend in with the normal Townies, and attempt to get someone lynched.

During the NIGHT cycle ONLY, you may talk with your fellow Mafia (via this quick topic) and choose another player in the town to kill that night.

You may communicate privately with your fellow Mafia up until the game thread is opened. Once the game begins, all outside communication must cease until the night cycle.

You win when the number of Mafia equals or exceeds the number of remaining Town players, whether you survive to the end or not.

As a Roleblocker, you have the ability to distract any player throughout the night, effectively negating their night ability, if they have one.

Send the moderator a PM with your choice of player that you want to block. If they have a Night action, it will have no effect. You will not be informed as to whether your roleblock worked or not.

Although you do not have any special abilities, your voice and vote are powerful weapons in their own right. Use them to your best advantage!

Okay excellent! You finally decided who needs to hang, good stuff. Well, lets get right down to it shall we? Come on

jediknight

, no need to be shy.... Well actually... Oh guys! Look at him! He's trying to run away.... Cute. That's it. Trip him up... Good stuff. Wow, he's a feisty one eh? Okay, okay enough... Someone punch him in the face to knock him out. This will go a lot easier if you do.... That's better!

While you lot were arguing I built this great Hangmans noose. Yeah, I know, impressive. Lets just slip the rope round jediknight's neck and... Done! Wow, that was a meaty snap of the neck... I'm pretty sure he is dead now. Go on look though his pockets....It's okay, he won't mind any more. Oh a gun! Great news! That's one down and one to go. Now off to bed with you all. It's getting late after all. See you all tomorrow.

...Well, hopefully eh?

Lord Chronos

went out wondering where he shouldn't have been wondering and got into some trouble. Yeah, lots of blood as you can see. Oh well, no point dwelling on the past, it's time to think of the future yes? Yes! And by future I mean who are we going to string up and brutally lynch today. Oh the excitement!

Well... Good luck!

Nobody Special!

If you didn't do it then you have little to worry about right? What's that?

"Death is pretty permanent?"

Well I suppose you are right, but that's not my problem now is it? Hey

wredar

ConSpiracy

and

bacon

help good old wredfar out eh? That's the spirit

Maxous!

Clubbing him over the head until he is compliant is always the best route. Okay guys, lets hang him up... Just like yesterday. Good stuff!

Yup, Yup... He's dead. It's okay to look though his pockets now.

Trendall

find anything? No? Hrmm... How about in the other pocket

Akira

? A gun? Most excellent! You know what this means guys? Nobody Special was jedi's partner! Together you have avenged the tragic deaths of both Sotty7 and LordChronos! Well done, now we can all live happily ever after!

I don't have much time right now, but feel free to post and discuss the game. I don't think I have ever seen a quicker end to a game than this one. I will be back later on with some more thoughts.

Well done guys

Sotty7 · Post Post #207 (isolation #25) » Mon Feb 14, 2011 2:11 am

Yeah, the town had no power roles in this one.

With how slow day one dragged, I didn't have very high hopes for this game. I really thought that I would need to replace a bunch of you for the game to get any life. As things went however, it didn't turn out that way. I was surprised on how quickly you all lynched NS, but after the jedi lynch several players were looking very protown leaving poor NS with a lot of work to do.

I wouldn't feel too bad jedi, you ended up being a deadline compromise lynch more than anything. Next game it would pay to be more active around the deadline to prevent that from happening to you again.

This is definitely a perfect win and in the end the town came together and played very well. Congrats to you all.
