Newbie #518 - Trouble in Ees' Heaven (Game Over!)

[Mr. Flay]

Players:

• (alive)
• DeadlyMan
  CallMeLiam,
  Mafia Goon
  
  
• Quitex,
  Mafia Roleblocker
  
  
  (dead)
  
  
• GhostWriter,
  Townie
  , was lynched Day One.
  
• Mastermind of Sin,
  Townie
  , was killed Night One.
  
• NabakovNabakov,
  Cop
  , was lynched Day Two.
  
• Shadoglare,
  Townie
  , was killed in the endgame.
  
• Petunho,
  Doctor
  , was killed in the endgame.

Game over! See page 13 for details.

[Mr. Flay]

Of course, this would all be a lot easier if you weren't so sure that some of you haddunit. Two of you, in fact, though you're not sure who else is what. Here's the possibilities:

2

Mafia:

You are a

Mafia Roleblocker

, along with your partner _________ (who is simply a Goon). Your goal is to eliminate the pro-town players so that only your side remains; you win if this happens. During the Day, try to blend in with the rest of the players, and get someone 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 if both of you live; if only you survive, you must choose one action or the other).

Note: You may talk with your partner privately during confirmations to plan strategy, but no night actions will take place until Night One.

You are a

Mafia Goon

, along with your partner _________ (who is a pro-Mafia Roleblocker). Your goal is to eliminate the pro-town players so that only your side remains; you win if this happens. During the Day, try to blend in with the rest of the players, and get someone lynched.

You may talk with your partner at Night, and send me a choice via PM of who you would like to kill (if your partner also lives, they can send in a separate choice to roleblock someone).

Note: You may talk with your partner privately during confirmations to plan strategy, but no night actions will take place until Night One.

1

Doctor:

You are the

Doctor

, and you can protect people from harm. Each Night, you may send me a choice via PM of who to protect; if they come under attack by the Mafia, they will live. You win if the scum are eliminated, so choose wisely at Night, and try to lynch correctly during the Day.

Note: Doctors are 100% effective in Newbie Games (the person you protect will never die on the night they are protected, unless you are roleblocked). You may not protect yourself.

1

Cop:

You are the

Cop

, and you can tell good from bad. Each Night, you may send a player's name to me; I will let you know if your investigation shows that they are Mafia or Town. You win if the scum are eliminated, so choose wisely at Night, and lynch well during the Day.

Note: Cops always get a correct result in Newbie Games (no sanity issues), unless you are roleblocked. You cannot investigate yourself.

3

Townies:

You are a

Townie

, and you've got no special powers at Night. No investigations, no protection, no gun to shoot people. Your only powers are the ability to post, vote, and think. Help lynch Mafia during the Day, and you will win the game, along with the rest of the Town.

This is commonly known as the

Pie E7

setup, and differs from previous newbie games.

Even though many games start with Night, newbie games begin with Day once everyone has confirmed that they understand their role. Scum are allowed to talk by PM in the pre-game stage, but no other "night actions" may be taken.

Rules:

• Votes should be in bold for them to count, like this:
  Vote: Shea
  . Unvotes should likewise be bolded (
  Unvote: Pie_is_good
  ) so that I can spot them easier.
• A simple majority of votes (1/2 the number of living players plus one, rounded down) will achieve a lynch and end the Day. Unvoting after that point will not save someone's life. If a deadline is imposed, the required number of votes may be lowered, so be careful.
• Nights will last up to 72 hours, but may be shorter if all night choices are in before the deadline.
• Dead men tell no tales. If you get killed, stop talking until the game is over.
• Do not discuss this game with other players outside of this thread, unless your role PM specifically stated you could do so (as scum, and then only at night).
• Do not directly quote any PMs you receive; I have already posted the roles above, but this holds true for any future messages you receive from me as well.
• 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.
• Treat this game as a commitment; if you're going to be gone for longer than 48 hours (not counting weekends),
  let us know
  . I will replace severely inactive players, but your fellow players may choose to lynch you themselves first.
• Any action which would be illegal to actually do is also illegal to
  fake
  (posting a made-up PM that shows a Cop result, for example).
• Have fun; don't be an ass;
  participate
  !

[Mr. Flay]

Retired the vote on Shadoglare on post 92. LOL.
and post 93, QF bolding.

Ah. I wasn't aware of what "QF" stood for (quick-fix, presumably) and bypassed a bolded unvote inside quote tags.

Fixed.

[Mr. Flay]

is over, time to hang a different sort of ornament from the trees!

[Mr. Flay]

One question for the mod: Is DeadlyMan still around?

I prod players after they haven't posted for several days (slightly longer over the holidays); they always have the option to respond privately, if they so choose.

Eighth Vote Count of Day One:

Petunho - 2 (NabakovNabakov, GhostWriter)

Quitex - 1 (Shadoglare)
GhostWriter - 1 (Petunho)
Shadoglare - 1 (Mastermind of Sin)

Not Voting - 2 (Quitex, DeadlyMan)

With seven alive, four votes will be enough to lynch.

[Mr. Flay]

CallMeLiam replaces DeadlyMan effective immediately.

I'll give him a few days to get up to speed, but you may see a deadline Monday if things do not progress.

[Mr. Flay]

Bumping vote count to the next page.

[Mr. Flay]

Ninth Vote Count of Day One:

Petunho - 2 (NabakovNabakov, GhostWriter)

Quitex - 1 (Shadoglare)
GhostWriter - 1 (Petunho)
Shadoglare - 1 (Mastermind of Sin)

Not Voting - 2 (Quitex,

DeadlyMan

CallMeLiam)

With seven alive, four votes will be enough to lynch.

Given that the vote count hasn't changed in nearly a week, and posting is minimal, I am imposing a

deadline for the end of January 25th, server time

. That is a little less than ten days; at that time, if you have not lynched anyone normally, I will apply the following deadline lynch rules:

• You must have at least three votes to be deadline lynched; if there is a tie, the first to reach three is the 'winner'.
• No more than three
  other
  votes can be cast at that time; if all seven of you are voting but no one has four votes, that is less than 50% of the people and I will declare a No Lynch.

Either way, this day will end. If posting is

really

hot and heavy, I may extend this deadline, but the game has to move on at some point...

[Mr. Flay]

I was

hoping

you'd get more than a page done in ten days, but yes, of course.

Tenth Vote Count of Day One:

Shadoglare - 2 (Mastermind of Sin, Quitex)
GhostWriter - 2 (Petunho, CallMeLiam)

Petunho - 1 (GhostWriter)
Quitex - 1 (Shadoglare)
CallMeLiam - 1 (NabakovNabakov)

Not Voting - no one!

With seven alive, four votes will be enough to lynch normally.

If nothing changes, a "No Lynch" will be called at the deadline, a little less than 36 hours from this post.

Remember: My deadline rules call for a minimum of three votes on someone, and no more than three 'other' votes scattered about, to deadline-lynch.

[Mr. Flay]

Seven-hours-til-deadline Vote Count, Day One:

GhostWriter - 3 (Petunho, CallMeLiam, Quitex)

Shadoglare - 1 (Mastermind of Sin)
Petunho - 1 (GhostWriter)
Quitex - 1 (Shadoglare)
CallMeLiam - 1 (NabakovNabakov)

Not Voting - no one!

With seven alive, four votes will be enough to lynch normally.

If nothing changes, a "No Lynch" will be called at deadline (because 3/7 votes is not even 50%). If someone unvotes, or you lynch normally, obviously that will change.

[Mr. Flay]

Final Vote Count of Day One:

GhostWriter - 3 (Petunho, CallMeLiam, Quitex)

Shadoglare - 1 (Mastermind of Sin)
Petunho - 1 (GhostWriter)
Quitex - 1 (Shadoglare)

Not Voting - NabakovNabakov

Limping to a tough decision, the town strings up GhostWriter until he is a spirit in truth. However, his ghost informs you that he was merely a townie, before disappearing for more peaceful pastures...

GhostWriter, Townie, was lynched Day One.

It is now Night One; please get all night actions to me by no later than the end of Monday, January 28th.

[Mr. Flay]

Mastermind of Sin's evening routine was usually fairly ordinary: plot a few deeds, go to sleep, plot some more... he got stopped this time at the "go to sleep" part when his bedroom exploded around him. Guess he'll never get to act out all of those fantasies he'd conjured up...

Mastermind of Sin, Townie, was killed Night One.

It is now Day Two; with five alive, three votes will be enough to lynch.

[Mr. Flay]

First Vote Count of Day Two:

NabakovNabakov - 1 (Quitex)
CallMeLiam - 1 (Petunho)

Not Voting - 3 (CallMeLiam, NabakovNabakov, Shadoglare)

With five alive, three votes will be enough to lynch.

[Mr. Flay]

Second Vote Count of Day Two:

NabakovNabakov - 1 (Quitex)
CallMeLiam - 1 (Petunho)

Not Voting - 3 (CallMeLiam, NabakovNabakov, Shadoglare)

With five alive, three votes will be enough to lynch.

With discussion lagging so much, I have little choice but to give you a

deadline for next Friday, February 22nd.

Because it is lynch-right-or-lose, no reduced majority will be needed to lynch, but either get posting or lynching, folks.

I will consider extending/removing the deadline if posting REALLY picks up next week, but this dragging on isn't doing anyone any good...

[Mr. Flay]

Final Vote Count of Day Two:

NabakovNabakov - 3 (Quitex, CallMeLiam, Shadoglare)

CallMeLiam - 2 (Petunho, NabakovNabakov)

---

NabakovNabalov's death paves the way for a blatantly illegal and dastardly act; two trigger-pulls later, the Mafia have won control of the town.

NabakovNabakov,

Cop

, was lynched Day Two.
Shadoglare, Townie, was killed in the endgame.
Petunho,

Doctor

, was killed in the endgame.

CallMeLiam (

Mafia Goon

) and Quitex (

Mafia Roleblocker

) win!

Tough game, and well-fought overall. Lurking is probably what really killed this game - it became difficult to get a read on people who weren't posting much, and that reflects in your post count graph:


Night One actions:

• Petunho protected NabNab but was roleblocked by Quitex.
  
• MoS was killed by CallMeLiam.
  
• NabNab investigated Petunho.
