The Game:
(Role PMs stolen and modified from Mr. Flay)

This game uses the F11 setup, where the setup has been chosen randomly from one of these four options:
  • 1 Mafia Goon, 1 Mafia Roleblocker, 1 Sane Cop, 1 Doctor, 5 Townies.
    1 Mafia Goon, 1 Mafia Roleblocker, 7 Townies.
    2 Mafia Goons, 1 Sane Cop, 6 Townies.
    2 Mafia Goons, 1 Doctor, 6 Townies.
Mafia Roleblocker PM wrote:You are a Mafia Roleblocker, along with your partner _________ (who is simply a Goon). Your goal is to eliminate the pro-town players so that only your side remains; you win if this happens. During the Day, try to blend in with the rest of the players, and get someone lynched.

You may talk with your partner at Night, and send me a choice via PM of who you would like to kill/roleblock (your team can do both so long as you live).

Note: You may talk with your partner privately during confirmations to plan strategy, but no night actions will take place until Night One.


By opening this PM, you let me know that you're still around. PM me if you have any questions, and keep an eye on the game thread for when I announce the beginning of the Day.
Mafia Goon PM wrote:You are a Mafia Goon, along with your partner _________ (who is a {pro-Mafia Roleblocker}{mafia goon}). Your goal is to eliminate the pro-town players so that only your side remains; you win if this happens. During the Day, try to blend in with the rest of the players, and get someone lynched.

You may talk with your partner at Night, and send me a choice via PM of who you would like to kill {(if your partner also lives, they can send in a separate choice to roleblock someone)}.

Note: You may talk with your partner privately during confirmations to plan strategy, but no night actions will take place until Night One.


By opening this PM, you let me know that you're still around. PM me if you have any questions, and keep an eye on the game thread for when I announce the beginning of the Day.
Doctor PM wrote:You are the Doctor, and you can protect people from harm. Each Night, you may send me a choice via PM of who to protect; if they come under attack by the Mafia, they will live. You win if the scum are eliminated, so choose wisely at Night, and try to lynch correctly during the Day.

Note: Doctors are 100% effective in Newbie Games (the person you protect will never die on the night they are protected, unless you are roleblocked). You may not protect yourself.


By opening this PM, you let me know that you're still around. PM me if you have any questions, and keep an eye on the game thread for when I announce the beginning of the Day.
Cop PM wrote:You are the Cop, and you can tell good from bad. Each Night, you may send a player's name to me; I will let you know if your investigation shows that they are Mafia or Town. You win if the scum are eliminated, so choose wisely at Night, and lynch well during the Day.

Note: Cops always get a correct result in Newbie Games (no sanity issues), unless you are roleblocked. You cannot investigate yourself.


By opening this PM, you let me know that you're still around. PM me if you have any questions, and keep an eye on the game thread for when I announce the beginning of the Day.
Townie PM wrote:You are a Townie, and you've got no special powers at Night. No investigations, no protection, no gun to shoot people. Your only powers are the ability to post, vote, and think. Help lynch Mafia during the Day, and you will win the game, along with the rest of the Town.

By opening this PM, you let me know that you're still around. PM me if you have any questions, and keep an eye on the game thread for when I announce the beginning of the Day.
My rules:
(In addition to the site-wide rules, which apply to every game here)

1. Notify me (Don't just post in the vacation thread, post here or pm me) if you're going to be unavailable for more than 48 hours. Four days without a post (If you don't let me know there's something up, of course) or general request will get you prodded, no response for 48 hours will get you replaced.

2. I'll only count bolded votes; while I much prefer and recommend the format
unvote: A, vote: B
when changing your vote, I'll count any vote that's bolded and unambiguous.

3. As soon as one person reaches a majority of the votes, (Or we hit the deadline) their lynch is inevitable. Before I actually post their death scene, it is considered twilight. Mods differ on how they treat it- my rule is that nobody should post significant game-related information, but I'll forgive an honest mistake.

4. If you communicate in Night/pregame as mafia, I'd prefer if you send me an extra copy (Use partnername;Norinel in the PM) of anything you send.

5. Feel free to ask questions, to me privately if it concerns your role or publicly in the thread if it's a general question. These games are first and foremost for you to learn.

Some other notes:


1. If discussion lags, I may set a deadline for the day. If the town doesn't have a majority by then, the person with the most votes is lynched if they have at least half of the required votes. (Or 3 on Day 2) If there are multiple people with the same number of votes at a deadline, the one who reached that number first is lynched. If no one has half the majority, no one is lynched.

2. If I set a deadline for the night, I expect all night choices to be in by then. If you don't send me something, you won't take any action.

3. Modkilling during the day of a pro-town player takes the place of a lynch.

4. If I change any of these rules (Or the standard rules) at any time, I'll announce it. Anything rules-related I say after making this post, publicly or privately, takes precedence over this post.

All role PMs are out. I'll keep the list in the front post updated with who's confirmed, and start the game as soon as everyone's here.

Due to a logistical error, I'm forced to reshuffle the roles and setup. I'll be sending out new PMs shortly; please disregard the first PM you received.

Also, strappado replaces zvlkx.

Augh, you're correct. J-man isn't replaced, I'll find another person to replace JamesThePhox.

James has informed me that he'd be able to post after all, and thus wouldn't need replacement.

This game is over. Yes, everyone got the cop PM except for the Mafia. (TartarianCerberus and strappado) If it matters, what the setup should have been was those two Mafia, JamesThePhox Cop, and everyone else townie. I unofficially declare Brandi the winner for this post:
Final analysis:
STRAP AND TARTAR ARE SCUM BUDDIES, EVERYONE ELSE IS A COP.
After that screw-up and the earlier replacement thing, I think someone else should take over modding if you reset, or I suspect you guys can get bumped to the front of the queue if you don't all want to play together again. I'll PM Mr. Flay (List Mod for the Newbie Games, responsible for intervening when weird stuff happens) about what to do next.

Really, only a tiny fraction of games have to get thrown out like this. Mods make mistakes sometimes; sometimes they can be corrected, sometimes they can't.
