Newbie 280: Longest Newbie finally ends, but who won?

Post Post #0 (isolation #0) » Wed Sep 20, 2006 5:15 am

Post by logicticus »

Robots have been helping humans for years taking away the menial activities that they dont want to do. However, lately some robots have been reprogrammed to harm the ones that they serve. You seven robots get together, trying to find the reprogrammed rebots before it is too late.....

Running smoothly (3)

spectrumvoid part 2 (replacing CrashTextDummie (replacing Drunky McDrinksalot))
patrick (replacing Short4now)
pablito


Deactivated (3)
Spectrumvoid, investibot, was deactivated day 1
lowell (replacing mikanoff), normbot, was overtaken by a virus on night 1.
BrutalAssassin, scumbot, was deactivated day 2
Sage, scumbot, was deactivated day 3

Each day, the town votes on someone to deactivate, someone that they suspect is a scumbot. Once a majority has been reached, that person is dead, to not return.

Each night, the scumbots submits their night actions along with the Investibot and the Medbot (if either exist).

There are 4 different types of possible setups:

a) 2 scumbots, 5 normbots
b) 2 scumbots, 1 investibot, 4 normbots
c) 2 scumbots, 1 medbot, 4 normbots
d) 2 scumbots, 1 medbot, 1 investibot, 3 normbots

Role PM’s are as follows:

Mafia: Along with _______, you have been reprogrammed as a scumbot to kill all humans. But first, you must convince the rest of the robots that you are innocent. Each night you may choose to upload a virus into a robot rendering it inactive. You win when the scumbots outnumber the rest.

Doctor: You are a Medbot. You were originally programmed to assist in medical procedures. However, with the emergence of the scumbots, you have taken a new role that allows you to upload virus protection software to one robot each night, protecting them from viruses. You win when all scumbots have been deactivated.

Cop: You are an Investibot. You were programmed to assist in police investigations. But with the menacing scumbot presence you were reprogrammed to upload tracking software into a robot each night. This software allows to see if the scumbot code is present in that robot. You win when all scumbots have been deactivated.

Town: You are a normbot. Sensing that your original programmers, humans, could be exterminated you have gathered together to try to eliminate the scumbots before its too late. Each day your vote can contribute to the deactivation of a scumbot, so use it wisely. You win when all scumbots have been deactivated.

The Rules stolen from MeMe:

* Votes must be in bold. If you do not bold your vote, it will not be counted.
* Please be attentive and unvote, if necessary, before casting a new vote. This is not required, but I’d appreciate it.
* Executions will require a simple majority of votes. Once a player has reached the necessary majority, his pleas are useless and any attempts to unvote will be unheeded. You may vote: no lynch – majority votes of this kind are necessary to end the day without a death.
* The game is not to be discussed outside of the thread unless your role specifically states that you may do so.
* Once your death scene has been posted, you’re dead. Stop typing.
* Don’t edit/delete previously submitted posts
* Don’t quote any PMs from me.
* If you have a night choice to make, it is due by the posted deadline. I will not wait for you – if you do not submit a choice to me, tough! No choice will be made.
* If you anticipate being unavailable for more than a 48-hour period, please post a notice to that effect in the thread. Treat this game as a commitment. Be considerate – don’t leave us hanging.
* Remember, it’s a game. It’s supposed to played. It’s supposed to be fun. Do your part.

Actually, Ive changed my mind about this.

I am wiping out the voting records and dropping the deadline. Its not fair to everyone to jump back in.

So as of this post, all votes are cleared

Well, I didnt have the access I thought I would, but it turned out well.

Final Day 1 Vote Count:

Spectrumvoid: 4 (CrashTextDummie, Lowell, BrutalAssassin, Sage)
BrutalAssassin: 1 (Spectrumvoid)


After months (literally), the collection of robots decide on which one to deactivate.

Spectrumvoid is deactivated. An analysis of her programming reveals that she was an investibot, designed to find scumbots at night.


Spectrumvoid, cop, was deactivated day 1


Get those night choices in. I dont want to set a record for longest night 1

As the robots reboot for day 2, it quickly becomes apparant that a virus has overtaken one of your systems.

Lowell, normbot, has been overtaken by a virus

Vote Count:

Brutal Assassin : 3 (Pablito, Patrick, Sage)


The rest of the robots roll over to Brutal Assassin and shut down him down.

A quick analysis of his programming leads you all to the conclusion you had known all along.

Brutal Assassin, scumbot, has been deactivated

As the robots boot up from sleep mode after night 2 they do a quick scan around the room, expecting one of them to be suffering from a crippling virus....

Much to their surprise and delight, nobody has suffered that fate.

Sage: 3 (Pablito, spectrumvoid, Patrick)
Pablito: 1 (Sage)


The robots finally reach a decision and decide that its time to pull the plug on Sage. After deactivating him and analyzing his code its determined that he was indeed a scumbot.

Sage, scumbot, has been deactivated day 3


Pablito, medbot, has survived
spectrumvoid, normbot, has survived
Patrick, normbot, has survived.


Good game guys. Longest ever, but it was worth the read.
