Welcome to newbie 1032!

This game uses the F11 setup. Possible roles are Mafioso, Roleblocker, Townie, Doctor, Cop. There are 4 possible setups:
Mafia: 1 Mafioso and 1 Roleblocker, Town: 1 Doctor, 1 Cop, 5 Townies
Mafia: 1 Mafioso and 1 Roleblocker, Town: 7 Townies
Mafia: 2 Mafiosos, Town: 1 Cop, 6 Townies
Mafia: 2 Mafiosos, Town: 1 Doctor, 6 Townies

The exact setup in this instance was randomly determined. Roles were randomly assigned.

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

Mafia-Aligned players:

Mafia Goon

You are a mafia goon. Your partner is x, a mafia (goon/roleblocker). 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 QuickTopic) and choose another player in the town to kill that night. One of you must send me a PM with your choice of who to kill.
* You may communicate privately via QuickTopic with your fellow Mafia up until the game thread is opened (this is called Night 0). 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.

Mafia Roleblocker

You are a Mafia Roleblocker. Your partner is x, a mafia goon. 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 QuickTopic) and choose another player in the town to kill that night. One of you must send me a PM with your choice of who to kill.
* The Mafia Roleblocker has the ability to distract any player throughout the night, effectively negating their night ability, if they have one.
* The Mafia should send the moderator a PM with your choice of player that you want to block (usually along with the kill). If they have a Night action, it will have no effect. You will not be informed as to whether the roleblock worked or not.
* The Mafia may communicate privately via QuickTopic up until the game thread is opened (this is called Night 0). 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.
* If the roleblocker is the only mafia left, they will be able to block and kill.

Town-Aligned players:

Townie:

You are a normal townsperson, trying to make a living and survive this insanity.

* You have no abilities at Night other than getting a good night's rest.
* 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!
* At no time may you privately communicate with any other player.
* You win when all the Mafia players are gone, whether you survive to the end or not.

Cop:

You are the local law enforcement, and can tell the good guys from the bad.

* Each NIGHT, you may send the moderator a PM with your choice of player that you want to investigate.
* The Moderator will inform you as to that person's guilt or innocence.
* At no time may you privately communicate with any other player.
* In a Newbie game, you will always get a correct result (no sanity issues).
* You win when all the Mafia players are gone, whether you survive to the end or not.

Doctor:

You are the local physician, and can protect people from harm.

• Each NIGHT, you may send the moderator a PM with your choice of player that you want to protect.
  
• If someone attempts to kill that player during the Night, they will be spared.
  
• You may not protect yourself.
  
• At no time may you privately communicate with any other player.
  
• In a Newbie game, your protection target will always live through the night (no quacks).
  
• You win when all the Mafia players are gone, whether you survive to the end or not.

I am sending out role PM's now... once 7 people have confirmed, the game will start. Feel free to talk here, while we wait for confirmations.

I think while we're waiting around, we should all come up with a mafia-related question for everyone to answer.

I'll start with a few in case others have trouble thinking of something:

1: What's your mafia experience?

2: What (if any) is your favorite role/allignment?

3: If you were scum, would you nk someone who
a) thought you were town
b) thought you were scum
c) was indifferent towards you but is a strong player
d) is an inactive or other odd choice to cause confusion or limit information

My answers:

1: My only relevant mafia experience is on this site. I've lost track of how many games I've played. I'm in the mini normal mod queue now so in about 6 months or so I'll be modding my first game on the site.

2: Vanilla town - raw, pure scumhunting, no tiptoing around as a PR or scum trying to not get lynched or nked.

3: usually I kill strong players. If something has me pinged as scum, they're usually a strong player anyways.

[podium123456]

OK, 8 have confirmed, so we can start. This is a newbie game, so feel free to ask as many questions as you would like about the mechanics, or if you don't understand a term. The IC is here to provide that knowledge, but others (including myself) are free to assist, as long as you know what you are talking about.

Also, i would suggest that everyone get an avatar, as it helps others remember you, as well as prevents skimming past one of your posts.

Day breaks, and there is a sense of uneasiness in the town. Recently a rash of criminal activity has broken out in the otherwise quiet town. People are starting to whisper as they try and determine which of the citizens have wandered into the wrong side of the law.

Day 1 begins.

With 9 alive, it takes 5 to lynch.

FIRST!

[Steven Hacking]

I think while we're waiting around, we should all come up with a mafia-related question for everyone to answer.

I'll start with a few in case others have trouble thinking of something:

1: What's your mafia experience?

I've only played IRL/F2F (depending on local lingo). While I was waiting for account approval I watched 2 or 3 mini games that I happened upon

2: What (if any) is your favorite role/allignment?

I haven't played enough to really know, but I'm leaning toward most power roles because as a newb, I don't think I'm very good at scumhunting yet

3: If you were scum, would you nk someone who
a) thought you were town
b) thought you were scum
c) was indifferent towards you but is a strong player
d) is an inactive or other odd choice to cause confusion or limit information

I would probably go ahead and spare the person who thought I was town, I'd kill the rest. That's my best guess for now.

My Question: (Really only pertaining to the other first-timers).
How long did it take your account to get approved?

It felt like it was at least a month for me, I guess I was just really excited/impatient after I found this site.

So I guess we're RQS'ing instead of RVS?

UNVOTE:

[Mizzy]

I would prefer we stick with a random laning phase because I think it generates more useful information than questions do. As much as I enjoy getting to know newbs, I also like playing the game because the purpose of these games is to teach, yes? So, let's teach!

Random votes are important because they allow us to see reactions to votes and will hopefully supply us with insight later.

So, votes. RVS or no?

Re: "random laning phase" I mean "random voting phase" :p Sorry, League of Legends on the brain.

Why can't we do both?

Why didn't you do either?

vote: "Mizzy"

[AzBlueM]

1) One newb game here done,
in two games now, never played
a game IRL

2) I don't know, I'll have
to see, SK sounds fun though
I've never played one

3) Situational,
probably abstain, just to
cause some confusion

[Mizzy]

Because I choose not to? I feel that the questions are better served in the General Discussion thread and not here. Just personal preference. Also, I don't feel that vote of yours was random.
