Mini 1011: Help! My Computer Got Infected! (Game over!)

Post Post #0 (ISO) » Tue Jul 20, 2010 9:48 am

Post by StrangerCoug »

It was a normal weekend in my bedroom. I wished the room were nicer—specifically, I wished there were another electrical outlet and I needed to clean this place—but it could be worse. My sloppy purple and gray paint job could have been no paint job at all, leaving just plain white. I could have considered getting something other than a dartboard at casino night back when I graduated and instead gotten cheap stuff that I didn't expect to last until now. And I could have decided I didn't want a computer in my room and take my biggest obsession elsewhere.

I was checking through my games on mafiascum.net when, all of a sudden, the computer switched off. Everything else on the outlet was fine, the plug was securely in place, and the computer was the temperature it normally was. Thinking that it was just a normal occurrence since this computer was not in perfect shape (are there many computers that are?), I switched the computer back on, and when the operating system booted up, my virus scanner told me it picked up an infected file. I cleared the message, then it told me that there was another viruses. And another. And another. And another. And so on
ad nauseam
.

Suddenly, I noticed the wallpaper changed. It was a
Wheel of Fortune
one, with the puzzle board normally reading "JEFFREY LOVES WHEEL OF FORTUNE". It now read "HA HA HA WE GOT INTO YOUR COMPUTER". I tried getting back into Firefox, but it refused to open. So did most of the games on my computer. The virus seemed to be speading, and I did not have the money to have a professional do a scan. I had to disconnect the Internet cable to ensure I didn't infect other computers.

Who dared get into my computer and cause a mess?

RULES
  1. This is a closed setup, which means the only roles you will know in advance are your own and that of any other player I mention in your role PM. All other role information is secret, including how many players with a certain role exist and even if the role exists in the first place. Yes, a game with absolutely no vanilla townies is possible. It's been done before.

  2. To vote for a player, either put vote tags around the player's name or bold the word "vote" followed by said player's name, e.g. VOTE: StrangerCoug. As long as I can tell to whom you are referring, spelling does not count and I will accept abbreviated or otherwise shortened forms of the name of the vote's recipient. If you change your mind about whom you want lynched, you must post the unvote tags or bold an unvote, preferably in the format UNVOTE: StrangerCoug. You may also VOTE: No Lynch, unvoted the same way as before.

  3. A majority of votes is required for a lynch, even at deadline. Once a lynch has been decided, it is final and further votes and unvotes do not count for the current day. If deadline is reached with no player having enough votes for a lynch, the day ends in an automatic No Lynch.

  4. Once you die, I'll allow one "bah" post that doesn't contain any game-related content if you wish to make it, but you must thereafter stop posting in the game. Said "bah" post is the only post a dead player may make during twilight. Living players may continue to talk during twilight as long as they follow all of the rules.

  5. You are not forced to like each other, but the fact that you badly want so and so offed does not give you the right to insult him or her. Please keep your hatred of people or groups thereof to yourself. Profanity is not in and of itself banned, but if it gets out of hand, it falls under this rule.

  6. Do not hide text or otherwise hinder its readability by using spoiler tags, invisible or encrypyed text, etc. You may, however, post in any color that can be easily read against the forum background other than
    purple
    or
    spoilered cyan
    . (I know it sounds arbitrary to forbid a specific color, but I'm saving my favorite color, purple, for mod use since I am the mod :P The backup mod below asked me to forbid his color too.)

  7. Impersonating the moderator is prohibited.

  8. Unless you're the moderator (that's me, obviously), co-moderator (that's nobody), or backup moderator (that's animorpherv1) of this game, please do not delete or edit any posts in this thread.

  9. You are not allowed to discuss this game outside of the thread unless I tell you otherwise, nor are you allowed to discuss other ongoing games in this thread.

  10. Do not quote or pretend to quote any private communication, either from me or from anyone else you are allowed to talk with at night. This includes your role PM. You are allowed to paraphrase, but you are not allowed to plagiarize. If in doubt as to your paraphrase's legality, PM me with the wording you want to use.

  11. Claiming to be scum with someone else is prohibited.

  12. I will issue a prod to any player that does not post for 72 hours without notifying me of his or her absence. (I'm sorry, but I do not check the V/LA thread.) If you are prodded, you will have 48 hours from the time of submission to post in thread. Failure to do so may result in replacement. Keep in mind that I have the board time down to the second. I will only prod the same player twice—after that, he or she must post every 72 hours to ensure that he or she remains in the game.

  13. The fastest and preferred way to get ahold of me is by PM'ing me, but you may also communicate to me in thread if it is day or twilight and you are still alive. To do so, bold "Mod:" followed by what you want to tell me, as in
    Mod: Please prod StrangerCoug
    or
    Mod: StrangerCoug should have five votes, not four.
    Please use your judgment call in whether or not what you want to tell me should be public knowledge before talking to me in the thread. In additon, I will not entertain questions regarding possible night actions, nor will I answer questions about a person's role unless you happen to be the person in question and you ask me privately.

  14. Rule violations will be dealt with case by case based on severity. This can be a warning (of which I will only give two per player), ejection from the game, or even a modkill. Modkills are not a fun experience for anybody—the players affected automatically lose, I do it in the manner that I consider most harmful to their factions, and I die on the inside every time I have to do it.
    PLEASE
    save all of us the pain and be on your best, rule-abiding behavior.

  15. I am not God. If I make any mistakes whatsoever, please let me know.

  16. All rules are subject to change. In my previously modded games, things have come up that I didn't think about, and both my own and other's actions in those games have helped shape and modify these rules. It may happen again here.

  17. The most important rule of all, saved for last for what I think is a very good reason:
    HAVE FUN!
    Enjoy! And good luck!
For the sample role PM, StrangerCoug wrote:StrangerCoug, you are a
motherboard, a vanilla townie
. You are the backbone behind my machine, responsible for making everything else on the computer communicate to each other. But can you communicate "Go away!" to the viruses?

You have no gun, no badge, no first-aid kit, no magic thingamajiggers, absolutely nothing special except for three things—computer literacy, your brain, and voting abilities. But those three things are all you need to get rid of the viruses on my computer!

You win when all threats to my computer have been eliminated from the game.

Please PM me back acknowledging that you understand and confirm your role. The thread is here and you are playing a day start.

Shit. Nevermind. I was thinking of Kinetic who always votes the mod for the first vote.

In that case, vote stays, for the eventual "I hate quote stripes" discussion that is bound to happen sometime this game.

Hey guys, I'm the backup. If at any point, SC mysteriously dissapears from the game (which I doubt he will), just PM me and I will assume duties as mod.

Have a good game!

Vote StrangerCoug


Know who the mafia are, won't tell us, etc.

Also, I hate quote stripes. If you post in them I will ignore all your posts, regardless if they are shitting pro-town gold.

Just thought you'd all like to know ;).

Also, NS is totally stealing my shtick and will likely gain my vote soon.

Quote stripes are like porn. I know it when I see it. Actually, they're worse than porn. I actually like porn.

Anyway, wouldn't it be hopelessly predictable if I did something different than what you predicted? So why should I play into your hands?

I do what I want!
