Newbie 1151 ÔÇô Game Over

[Uite]

Welcome to Newbie 1151 everyone!

You have lived all your life in this quiet village. However, lately you've been hearing rumours about the Mafia being active in your small town. You never believed much of it, until this morning. When you headed out to Main Street to get your groceries, you heard a loud bang. You quickly ran to where you thought was the source, and found your friend there, lying in a pool of his own blood. You try to save him, but it's too late. With his dying breath, he asks you to seek out the Mafia and avenge him.

Game Rules:

General Gameplay:

1. In order for all players to play at least one game day this game will start with a Day phase. Communication outside the thread (if your role specifically allows it) is allowed until the game begins.
   
2. As a general rule you should aim for one post every 24 hours, minimum, to keep the game moving.
   
3. 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 – please don't leave us hanging!
   
4. Prods of missing players will be issued after 72 hours of no activity or upon request after 48 hours of no activity. Any player who fails to post in-thread within 48 hours of being prodded may be replaced.
   
5. No prods will be issued during Night
   
6. A player who is eligible for a third prod is subject to possible replacement without further notice.
   
7. You may not quote private Moderator-supplied information (either real or fabricated) of any kind. Paraphrasing (for role claims, etc.) is acceptable.
   
8. There is to be NO personal communication outside of the forum postings unless your role PM specifically allows it.
   If someone contacts you outside the game you should report it to the game Mod IMMEDIATELY.

During the Day:

1. Each Day will have a strict three-week deadline. Extensions will be given only in extreme circumstances, but always feel free to ask.
   
2. A simple majority of all living players must agree on one person (via voting) for a Lynch to occur (simple majority = ½ # of living players +1, rounded down). If no one has a simple majority of votes at deadline a No Lynch will occur.
   
3. Once a player has reached a simple majority of votes no further unvoting will change their fate.
   
4. Once a player is lynched the game enters twilight until I post a death scene; all players may continue to post.
   
5. Once you are dead (either via lynch or night kill) you may no longer post except for a brief “Bah!”-type post that contains NO game related information.
6. Votes should be bolded or they may not be counted (e.g. VOTE: Player).
   
7. Vote revocations should be bolded or they may not be counted (e.g. UNVOTE: Player or
   Unvote
   ). Unvotes are not necessary before changing votes, but are appreciated.
   
8. You may VOTE: No Lynch - a simple majority of these vote types are required to send the game to Night phase without a Lynch.
   
9. Votes/Unvotes should be placed on a line all by themselves to make them easier for everyone to see.
   
10. Votes/Unvotes that reasonably follow the guidelines specified above, and are unambiguous with respect to player nicknames/abbreviations, will count.

During the Night:

1. Each Night will have a strict 72-hour deadline. Extensions will not be given, unless a player has to be replaced during the Night.
   
2. If you have a role with a Night action, your choices are due to me by the posted deadline. If I do not receive your choice via PM by the posted deadline you will forfeit your actions.
   
3. Any player with a Night action may instead submit a “No Action” PM to let the Mod know that you do not want to perform your expected action that Night phase.
   
4. Roles with Night actions will not be able to submit an action on Night 0 (i.e. during the confirmation stage).

Miscellaneous:

1. Please bold all requests to the Mod so that they don’t get missed.
   
   
2. Dark Red
   text is reserved for the Mod.
   
3. No invisible/small/encrypted text is allowed (if you can't read it, don't post it).
   
4. You are not allowed to edit your posts, if you have the ability to do so.
   
5. If you have an issue/problem with the game, please PM the Mod privately. Do not post issues/complaints in the game thread.
   
6. The Mod may make mistakes - please point out any mistakes gently. Mistakes will be corrected where possible, but sometimes mistakes are made that cannot be reversed. These will stand as final to be commiserated over after the game.
   
7. Rules violations will be dealt with according to their severity, up to and including a Modkill, as the Mod sees fit. Modkills may be accompanied by a change to day/night and the offender’s role will be changed to Neutral Survivor, which guarantees a loss.
   
8. Any situation not explicitly covered above is subject to Mod discretion and will be handled as the Mod sees fit on a case-by-case basis.

The Golden Rule:

Please remember that this is a game and your main objective is to have fun! Be considerate of each other, don’t get personal, and enjoy the game. Playing to win does not preclude being considerate of each other!

[Uite]

The setup for this game is 2of4, which is the new Newbie setup. One of the following four possibilities will be selected before the game starts:

Each game will have at least the following roles:

• 1 Mafia Goon
  
• 1 Mafia Rolecop
  
• a minimum of 5 Vanilla Townies

Furthermore, two roles will be picked at random out of the following four, with no duplicates:

• Sane
  Town Cop
  
• Town Doctor
  
• Town Jailkeeper
  
• a 6th Vanilla Townie

This leads to the following six possibilities:

1. 1 Mafia Goon, 1 Mafia Role Cop, 5 Vanilla Townies, Cop, Doctor.
   
2. 1 Mafia Goon, 1 Mafia Role Cop, 5 Vanilla Townies, Cop, Jailkeeper.
   
3. 1 Mafia Goon, 1 Mafia Role Cop, 5 Vanilla Townies, Doctor, Jailkeeper.
   
4. 1 Mafia Goon, 1 Mafia Role Cop, 6 Vanilla Townies, Cop.
   
5. 1 Mafia Goon, 1 Mafia Role Cop, 6 Vanilla Townies, Jailkeeper.
   
6. 1 Mafia Goon, 1 Mafia Role Cop, 6 Vanilla Townies, Doctor.

Vote: Xeras

Because I said so

Hey Krazy. Crazy seeing you here, eh? Glad to see you IC'ing for the first time. Good luck!

[racerman13]

Hi guys!

Vote: Ranmaru

for being the first one to post. xD

Hi Uite! You were a great mod last time I played with you, and I'm sure you'll be a great mod this time around, too.

[Epsilon_Andrew]

VOTE: Lord

for having the shortest name here.

[Xeras]

Wow. It looks like we are starting with random voting really fast in this game. >>

If that is the case then VOTE: Off The Mark For not confirming yet.

[Lord]

Vote: Ranmaru

because it's night.

[Ranmaru]

@

Xeras

: What's wrong with voting really fast?

@

Lord

: It's daytime here.

[Lord]

East Europe FTW.

[Xeras]

@

Xeras

: What's wrong with voting really fast?

@

Lord

: It's daytime here.

Aimless voting is aimless. :p

Racercar, If this game started on a night phase, who would you have killed if you were mafia?

[Ranmaru]

@Xeras

:

that's not a good question to ask. That question can incriminate a person wrongly.

Why exactly did you ask Racercar that?

Also, what would you do if not 'aimless' voting at the start of a mafia game?

[Ranmaru]

Hey JonW007. I saw you viewing. : D Please post.

[Ranmaru]

Hey Epsilon. I see you viewing.

What do you think of Xeras's #12?

Same goes to J007 *too lazy to write out the whole name haha*

[Xeras]

Ask questions. ^^

Though, I am not too good with coming up with questions.

Ranmaru, True or False, between a cat and a peacock, you would say that your traits match a peacock more?

[Ranmaru]

Ah I see.

Simple, just ask questions about people's actions, and get them to clarify what they have said that was unclear.

So again, why exactly did you pick Racercar out of anyone to ask that question?

----

I don't know what traits peacocks have, so I do not know how to answer that question. : D What do you think?

[Epsilon_Andrew]

Hey Epsilon. I see you viewing.

What do you think of Xeras's #12?

Same goes to J007 *too lazy to write out the whole name haha*

Through playing mafia, I have seen several people ask some form of this question. The question itself is WIFOM, and I don't believe answering it does anyone any good, because the mafia could use it to frame anyone.

[Xeras]

I asked Racerman because he seemed the scummiest out of the people that have posted thus far.

Honestly, I only asked because I have seen it around as well, and I am trying to figure out the point behind it. >>

[Epsilon_Andrew]

Why does Racerman seem scummy? It appears like he was just trying to get the random voting stage going.

[Xeras]

Mostly gut at this point...

[Ranmaru]

1. If you feel he is scum, you should be voting him.
2. If something struck you as scummy, you should point it out.
3. You should confront him, and make sure he explains his actions to you.

[Epsilon_Andrew]

Vote: Ranmaru

because it's night.

You voted for Ranmaru because it is night? I find it odd that your vote is against someone who already had a vote on them.

[Xeras]

Epsilon, this would be odd.

Unvote, Vote Ranmaru
