THE RULES:

General Stuff

• Follow the website rules (please
  read
  them)If you have any questions for me, you may pm or you may ask in thread. If you ask in the thread, please start it with "
  mod:
  " so that I am more likely to see it.
• I don't like lurkers. Please be ready to
  post at the very least once every 2 days. Treat this game like a commitment
  . I will prod anyone as soon as I become aware that they haven't posted for 3 days or more. If you are going to go away and not have access for more than 2 days, you must write so in this game thread. I will not check the V/LA section of this website.
• If a player ignores my prods, I may be forced to replace that player. If you think you can't keep up this commitment, please don't join this game. Nobody likes having to get a replacement.
• Green is my color
  , so don't use it!
• If someone violates any of these rules, I may modkill them, depending on the situation. In the event of the modkill, that person is turned into a neutrally-aligned survivor (thus instantly losing), and the game will switch to night.
• On yet another note, I may choose to include
  flavor
  with night kills and with lynches. None of my flavor will reveal anything about the game, and if you think the flavor hints at something, you're wrong.

Lynching:

• During the day, all players may cast one vote on any other player in the game. It takes a simple majority of votes to lynch a player. The vote must be bolded to count, and
  should
  be of the form
  vote: Player
  .
• You may also remove your vote from that person by simply putting
  unvote: Player
  in your post. Please unvote before switching your vote.
• As soon as the final vote is cast on a player, that player is lynched.
• If something is bolded and can be easily interpreted as a vote, I will interpret as a vote. This means that spelling mistakes and abbreviations
  will
  count as proper votes, as long as they are bolded.
• If, a townie is lynched during
  day 1 only
  , then they will have the opportunity to make a kill.
• After the player makes a vengeful kill or decides not too, the game will proceed to the next Day
• I will try to post a votecount at least once every page
• I will set
  deadlines if discussion lags
  . I have a pre-determined system of when to set a deadline based on activity and how long the day has lasted. I will mention the deadline at least a week ahead of time.
• For this game, because there must be a lynch, the player with the most votes at deadline will be lynched. If multiple players tie, the player who more recently was voted to that number will be lynched.
• You must put the word "dog" in your post before your vote counts. This is to make sure everyone reads the rules. This applies to replacements also.

Other things and clarifications

• This is a nightless game, and so player cannot vote to nolynch.
• Scum (and only scum) have the ability to Daytalk privately during the whole game
• If a townie is lynched Day 1, they get a Venge Kill.
• Town win either when the godfather is lynched or when both mafia are dead.
• Mafia win if they control half or more of the town. This situation will happen in of two scenarios: Since the vengekill and the lynch resolve at the same time, if a townie is lynched day 1, and that townie venge kills
  another
  townie, mafia win. The other scenario in which Mafia win is if the godfather is alive with one other townie.
• I will open the game when everyone has picked up their role pm .
• Once you are dead, you may not post. If you would like to be pmed when the game is over (although I hope you will follow along), then let me know via pm.

Open

This game is open, so that means I will reveal all of the roles in this game.

3 players get this role

Vengeful Townie

Dude, you totally just finished watching the Matrix! It was totally awesome! Man, remember that one scene where Tank got shot and then he got up and show Cypher: "Believe it or not, you piece of shit, you're still gonna burn!"
That was

so

awesome!
I mean, even though he died in between the first and second movie, it was still pretty awesome.

So, you've decided that you're going to be like Tank. If you are lynched day 1, at the last moment [during twilight], you have the opportunity to shoot someone [via pming me], and they will die. Of course,

you

will still die.

Oh that's going to be soooo awesome. Man, I really like The Matrix. Too bad the sequels are lame. Oh wait, I forgot to tell you about your win condition:

There's some mafia are bad people of some sort in your town. I don't really care. It just gives you an opportunity to be like Tank. You win if the godfather is lynched, or when both mafia are dead. You lose when mafia control 50% or more of the town. Vengeful kills occur the instant the townie dies.

Man, this is going to be awesome. "Believe it or not, you piece of shit, you're still gonna burn!"

Actually, it might not be so awesome. After you've seen some bloodshed, there's no way you'll be able to kill someone. So, after Day 1, you will no longer think killing someone is cool and you'll lose the ability to vengekill.

one player gets this role

You are the mafia goon

. Although, you really dislike that word.

Goon

. You're not goonish. You find yourself actually quite a sentimental person. AND you're not stupid. It's hard stuff being a goon. Your smarts will come in handy; you have to make sure, NAME, the mafia godfather, doesn't get in trouble. By "get in trouble," I mean killed. And by "have to make sure," I mean that you lose and surrender to the town if the godfather is lynched. Then, you'll be the at the town's mercy. Of course, that shouldn't be too bad, I mean, it's not like you killed them or anything.

Oh yeah, what I mean is you don't have a nightkill. Although, whenever you want, you get to talk do your mafia godfather

only

by using this thread.

You win when the mafia control half of the population during the day (vengeful kills resolve at the same time the lynch resolves).

I don't think you're goonish at all.

one player gets this role

Hey,

you're the mafia godfather.

The big bad evil mafia godfather.

Except, you're not quite big, bad,

or

evil. You've decided to hang out with your friend the mafia goon, NAME, in a small village. You didn't even bring your guns and less traditional weapons. The problem is these pesky villagers all seem to have recently seen the movie,

The Matrix

, and they're thrilled with the prospect of shooting someone as they die.

So you might die; the villagers want to kill you because you, because you . . . Why

do

they want to kill

you

? Who knows!? What's important is that you might die, and to add insult to injury, if you are lynched, you LOSE. If both you and your mafia goon friend are dead, you also lose.

On the flip side, you can win if members of the mafia constitute half of the players alive during the night or day (not twilight).

You know what, it's really not fair that townies can kill and you can't. Well you know what, LIFE ISN'T FAIR! Why don't you complain about life to your scumbuddy in this thread however, again because life isn't fair, that's the only place you can talk with your scumbuddy privately any time you want

So...

Mod

, I'm mostly just curious, but why didn't the vote in post 16 count? Are you using some kind of special voting rules?

Skim through the rules again.

mm. Right, right.

Do we have to do that every singe time we vote, or just the first time?

Once you do it once, you don't have to do it again.

Dear Players:

If there are any questions about my voting policy about how and when I count votes, please ask them. I tried be as clear as possible in the rules, so if there's any ambiguity in the rules, let me know.

Semioldguy tried to put up a fight, but it was no use. The logic was too good, "Listen," claimed somebody, "He hasn't been lynched yet, so he must be scum!"
"Or maybe no townies are voting for me and they don't want to kill me?" Semioldguy exclaimed in this completely fictional summary of the day, "Haven't you thought of

that!

"

Well, no one thought of that because I made that line of dialogue up.

What I am

not

going to make up is that a Semioldguy was 100%, entirely lynched. You know, like the whole rope and gallows thing.

Anyway, as his body hung in the air, all the sudden a card fell out of his pocket: Mafia.

Semioldguy, Mafia Goon, was lynched Day 1

The town, having already killed

one

scum, was eager to lynch the next. Accusations got thrown around onto Far_Cry. Someone mentioned to him an argument someone else had said yesterday, and Far_Cry didn't hear it.

"WHAT?" the town yelled at him.
". . . I didn't hear it. . ." Far_Cry voiced meekly.
"That's utter ridiculous."
"Well, I was think of butterflies and candy. . ." Far_Cry said, staring off into space and reliving his day dream.
"I've had enough, let's lynch him!"

"Let me do the honors," Hoopla said, "It's my birthday, I want to be able to hang the scumbag myself!"

And she did so victoriously.



Well, she really didn't do that, because Hoopla wasn't a scumbag. After searching his body, the town found no evidence of him being mafia. The only thing they found was a drawing of butterflies and candy that he had made himself. With crayon. DUN DUN DUN

Far_Cry, Vanilla Townie, Lynched Day 2

* * *

Also, I'd like to say

Happy Birthday to Hoopla!

[BridgesAndBaloons]

I will not have access to a computer until Monday. Until then, I cannot prod, do votecounts, or declare a lynch; however, since it's only 3 days I do not think I need to find a temprary mod

[BridgesAndBaloons]

I am back to find absolutely no posts. I am very disappointed in activity. No one said they would be V/LA over the weekend, even though the rules state you must write so in thread. I will give you until Tuesday before mass-prodding.

The townspeople quickly decided who they wanted lynched. As Hoopla's limp body hung from the rope, ekiM turned to Yosarian2 and hoped that he would wake up from this awful dream.


Then, he found out that Hoopla was town.


Then, ekiM remembered that he was mafia, so he promptly turned around and shot Yosarian2.

It looks for town this has turned into a nightmare. . .

Hoopla, Townie, Lynched Day 3
Ekim, Mafia Godfather, and Semioldguy, Mafia goon, WIN!

sorry for the less-than-dramatic flavour. I have been busy lately.

Moderator Comments

:

I thought that Semioldguy's initial bussing of Ekim was very good play. He didn't bus hard enough to create a lot of momentum towards his lynch, but he

did

bus consistantly enough to make it seem like Ekim was not the godfather. What's really funny is that the both of them barely referred to this bussing in their quick topic.

I think Yosarian made some really good posts, especially the ones where he deduced Hoopla was town (unless she was scum with semioldguy). From here, I fully expected that after semioldguy was lynched, Ekim had full right to push the point that Yosarian was simply setting up a mislynch for the next day. However, Yosarian2 rethunk his play Day 2 and thought Ekim and Semioldguy couldn't be partners. While this notion probably kept Yosarian2 alive Day 2, overall it costed town the game when he made the final vote. I don't blame him; though, Ekim played a good game.

Ekim played a very good game. I thought he started off sort of weak, then he really came into the game acting very pro-town. I think his sudden switch off of attacking Yosarian2 day 2 was really the only thing he did that was sort of faulted; however, it worked to secure him as more pro-town in Yosarian2's eyes. I think that if Ekim continued to attack Yosarian2 and get him lynched Day 2, the Day 3 easy lynch would have been Far_Cry for the win. Still, what he did ended up working. Since post 153 and on, I was fairly confident that Ekim would win. With that post he had made himself seem very pro-town, and there was ample reason for him to put his vote anywhere.

Hoopla seemed to me pretty clearly town until Day 3. Something about her play didn't add up, and the final desperate appeal to emotions NEVER HELPS YOUR CASE. I had more comments about Hoopla, but unfortunately I just lost a big post I made, so I'll tell you them when I get to them.

Not to be mean or anything, but Far_Cry did not play well. I thought it was obviously xe was going to be lynched at some point in the game. Xe had barely contributed to the game. The fact that he falsely confessed to being scum is incredibly poor sportsmanship, and made me want to modkill him. I just got the generally feeling that xe was not trying in this game. That upset me.
