/in-vitational Game 9: Mutually Understood Mafia

When irony goes horribly wrong...

Mod: Sykedoc

I came to you all with the idea that I'd like to do something sinister with such a tiny playerlist. You've all decided to participate in something I'd like to deem a sick little experiment. The longer this game goes on, the more you are going to discover. The more you discover, the more you're going to want to hit me.

Lets begin:

You wake up. Its cold, its dark, and you're not sure how you got here. All you know is that you have a piece of paper on you. Things seem completely irrelevant, but you know that already don't you? However, you see familiar faces around you. Ones you've seen many times before. It becomes quite clear that things are about to get fuzzy. I really just did that.

What is Clarity?
Clarity (n): free from obscurity and easy to understand; the comprehensibility of clear expression.

Lets begin with this. This game is not about clarity. It is about a lack of clarity, trickery, and deceit.
This game is about what you think you know, and what you know you know. Your actions will steam from this knowledge or lack thereof. It is in this that the game will take it's shape.

Before I get to the regular rules... lets discuss the Game-Specific Rules:

1) I can and will refuse to clarify anything in this game.

Much of this game relies on your ability to understand what's about to happen, and I'm simply not going to get in the way of that.

2) Night actions relevant to your role sent in during the night phase will resolve normally.

Again, this game is entirely about understand what information you are given. If you give me an action relevant to your role, it will occur.

Days in this game will be two weeks for the first day, and 1.5 after that. I am allotting more time for the first day due to the nature of the game. I can extend deadlines and will if I feel it is necessary.

Unclear (Confirms in bold):

1)

Mafuyu

2)

Nobody Special

3)

Budja

4)

Zang

Clearly Dead:

1)

Empking

|

Mafia Goon

(Lynched D1)

[sykedoc]

Rules:

General Rules:

1) Do not troll. This is my damn town, I can kill you.
2) Don't try to outguess me.
3)

Red

and

Dark Blue

are my colors. Touch them and I will scalp you.
4) If you need to contact me about something like a post I should fix, please by all means use

Mod: Please fix my awful posting habits!

or something similar. Sometimes I may just respond with a hard "No"
5) Don't be a dick, I'm the only one allowed to do that.
6) If I make a mistake, point it out, but don't be cocky about it or I will crush you like a vitamin pill.
7) No game-related communication outside the thread.
8) Lynching for the most part is to your benefit. No lynches are not recommended but if you all make it clear that's what you want I'll consider it.

You can also lynch the mod, if that's what you REALLY want.

9)Bah! Posts are allowed.

If you exceed one short Bah! then I will remove it

10)Enjoy the game and remember: This is MY personal hell, I make the rules.

Voting:

1) Votes must be bold in this fashion:

Vote: Your Mother

2) I will not count votes if you don't unvote the person you already are voting for. I won't remind you, I'll just wait until you process your mistake.
3) In order to lynch you need a majority. Don't try to screw with my math.
4) Try not to triple post.
5) Concerning twilight, you may speak until the death post is up, when the thread is locked. The dead may bah post and nothing more, all others may jabber until I shut you up.
6) Do not exceed your Bah! post, or you lose it entirely.
7) No lynches may be voted for in this fashion:

Vote: No Lynch

8) Unvoting goes as such:

Unvote: Your Mother

. You don't need a name, but it'd be nice if you put it there.
9) After a hammer, they are dead as a doornail. Your unvote will not bring them back. Too damn bad.

Deadlines:

1) If there is no lynch by the deadline, the player with the highest vote count is killed. Deadlines are there because I want you to get shit done, and you are going to get shit done. Endgame will change this policy as its stupid to have this at that point. I clearly won't lynch someone with 2 votes if you're all off that, its mostly majority or around that.
2) Deadlines are my way of saying get your crap together.
3) Deadlines can be extended upon request, depending on the situation.
4) All deadlines are in Mountain Standard Time. I live in the freaking Rocky Mountains, so deal with it.

Activity/Prods/Replacements:

1) I will prod you twice. After this you get a small grace period while I find a replacement. If you do not return, I remove you with the person I found. Don't whine.
2) You may ask to be replaced in the way I stated to communicate with me above.
3) If you do not post for 3 days I prod you.
4) If you are V/LA please communicate to me in the way stated previously.

Special Mod Rules:

1) I love baseball, three strikes and you're out. I modkill your ass.
2) I will fry you with great pleasure if you try to screw with me.
3) I am thy lord, smiting is my specialty, if I tell you something is bothering me don't do it.
4) Did I say listen to what I say?
5) If you somehow know how to edit posts. DO NOT DO THIS.
6) If your text is too hard to read, you get a warning (not a strike).
7) Do not debate with me, I will add strikes for that.
8) Loophole usage is not acceptable and will result in one or multiple strikes. You know the general rules, if I forgot something DO NOT take advantage of it or I will slice you up into salad.
9) Posts must be readable and in English.
10) If I want to modkill you for any reason. You DIE. Thats it. I can modkill you if you annoy me so don't.
11) Ruining my game is looked down on. If you're really annoying me with it I'll kill you.
12) You may PM, IM, or Email me with anything relevant or simply to talk if you're honestly that bored.

Have fun!

Due to the nature of the game, there is no generic townie PM or generic win condition as each of your has a different character and thus a different PM.

NONE OF THEM MAY BE QUOTED.

Any questions you have please PM, IM, or Email to me.

[sykedoc]

You may either confirm in thread or in PM.

We are lacking in ONE confirm, but just to the point of things... Day 1 Begins!

The deadline is a few posts down.

[Nobody Special]

mrifnoc/

[Mafuyu]

Mafuyu confirms. Ohai NS.

[Nobody Special]

NS decides to also speak in third-person for the moment.

Just like Mafuyu.

[Zang]

/confirm

[Nobody Special]

Can we start RVS before all confirms are in? Do we know if all confirms are in or not? Will RVS have any usefulness at all in a small game such as this?

These, and all your other questions, will be answered on the Next Episode of NoClarity! [Sponsored by Claritin.]

[sykedoc]

D1 Begins!

I'm going to go ahead and say yes, you can. The only non-confirm so far is Empking.

Tentatively, the deadline is: August 17th at 11:59 PM MST.

With 5 alive it takes 3 to lynch.

[Nobody Special]

Vote: Mafuyu

Random.

[Mafuyu]

No "You know why" this time?

Mafuyu's going to pass on counterRVSing NS, as that would be tacky.

[Nobody Special]

NS is well aware that both Mafuyu and NS know the reasons by this time.

NS is confident that these reasons need not be repeated

ad nauseam.

[Mafuyu]

Mafuyu wouldn't mind a reminder PM, actually. o.O

Vote Empking

Boo Empking. Confirm please.

[Budja]

Budja is sick of third person .

vote: NS

, its not your schtick.

[Nobody Special]

unvote

Vote: sykedoc

Budja, you're right. I'm no good at speaking in the third person anyway.

[Empking]

Vote: Mafayu

OMGUS

[Zang]

Vote: Empking

[Nobody Special]

Zang, do you know something we don't?

[Mafuyu]

Unvote

No RVS quicklynch.

[Nobody Special]

FoS: Zang

For the obvious reason.

[sykedoc]

Vote count coming soon!

[Zang]

Zang, do you know something we don't?

it was random.

[Mafuyu]

Because putting someone at L-1 is such a random happenstance, honest!

[Nobody Special]

Vote count coming soon!

I would state here, for the record, my well-known LACK OF PATIENCE; except I won't as I fear being modtortured and modlsowly modkilled and then modbarbecued on a modgrill.

Vote: Zang

[Mafuyu]

Mafuyu thinks that 'soon' is a relative word in this game, meant to taunt at us. ;.;
