Newbie 960 - Game Over

[inHimshallibe]

Welcome to Newbie Game 960 -

Evil abounds! Cast it out of your fair town!

To those who have played before - I hope you enjoy!

To those of you who are new - welcome to the site, and the game of Mafia!

• The opening posts are where all the basic, yet essential, game information is kept posted. If you have trouble finding anything in the thread, it never hurts to look at the opening posts.
  
• The player list shows all participants in the game. Those who are labeled "Alive" are still playing, while those labeled "Dead" are out of the game:

Alive

:

andrew94

Equinox

I Am Innocent

(SE) - replaces Kenman

Locke Lamora

Nikanor

- replaces ToG - replaces mb53

(Those in bold have confirmed.)

SE - Semi-Experienced, has completed three games on the site.
IC - Inexperience-Challenged, has completed five games on the site.
The moderator must remain impartial to gameplay, so game specific questions that are not activity/setup/votecount/mechanics related should be directed to one of these more experienced players.

Dead

:

imkingdavid

- Townie, Lynched Day 1

Memnon

- Cop, Killed Night 1

Netopalis

- replaces Skill006 - replaces Titiboo - Townie, Lynched Day 2

jasonT1981

(IC) - replaces Sotty7 - replaces wolframnhart - Townie, Killed Night 2

• Upon a player's death, their cause of death and role will be revealed to the town.
  
• As a moderator, I post updates of the game. Check here to see what you need to be doing:

It is now Day 2. With 7 players alive, it takes 4 to lynch. The Mafia may NOT talk during this time.

Deadline for Day 1 has been extended to Monday June 14, 10:00 pm CST. If no majority has been reached by then, no one will be lynched.

[inHimshallibe]

Rules

:

• Please bold your
  vote: Player
  . If you do not bold your vote, it will not be counted.
  
• Please be attentive and
  unvote
  , if necessary, before casting a new vote. This is not required, but it helps in making the vote counts accurate.
  
• Lynches will require a simple majority of votes. Once a player has reached the necessary majority, his pleas are useless and any attempts to unvote will be unheeded. You may also
  vote: no lynch
  – majority votes of this kind are necessary to end the day without a death.
  
• There will be strict three-week deadlines set at the beginning of each Day. If no majority vote has been reached by the deadline, no lynch will occur and the game will proceed to Night.
  
• The game is not to be discussed outside of the thread unless your role specifically states when you may do so.
  
• Once your death scene has been posted, you’re dead. No posting about this game until after the game is over.
  
• Do not edit or delete previously submitted posts.
  
• Do not quote any PMs from the moderator.
  
• Encrypted text or invisible posts are not allowed.
  
• Any action resulting in a modkill may result in a change from Day to Night or vice versa.
  
• If you have a night choice to make, please make it in a timely matter. If I must post a deadline, then choices sent after said deadline will not be counted.
  
• If you anticipate being unavailable for more than a 72-hour period, please PM the moderator or post a notice to that effect in the thread.
  
• Most importantly: this is a game. Play it for fun, and play it as well as you possibly can. I expect nothing less.

[inHimshallibe]

Newbie games are played with 9 players in the semi-open F11 setup. Of these players, 2 are evil, the Mafia. It is the town's goal to rid themselves of Mafia, and vice versa.

Here are the possible ways roles may be distributed

:
5 Townies, 1 Cop, 1 Doctor, 1 Mafia Goon, 1 Mafia Roleblocker
6 Townies, 1 Cop, 2 Mafia Goons
6 Townies, 1 Doctor, 2 Mafia Goons
7 Townies, 1 Mafia Goon, 1 Mafia Roleblocker

Here are the corresponding Role PMs to be assigned to each rolename

:

Townie - Member of the Town.

You win when the Mafia has been successfully removed from the game, and at least one member of the Town remains alive. You win whether you are dead or alive at game's end. You have no Night actions.

Cop - Member of the Town.

You win when the Mafia has been successfully removed from the game, and at least one member of the Town remains alive. You win whether you are dead or alive at game's end. You have a Night action - send the moderator a PM each Night indicating a player you would like to investigate. If you are not roleblocked, the moderator will then return a PM stating whether or not the indicated person is "Town" or "Mafia."

Doctor - Member of the Town.

You win when the Mafia has been successfully removed from the game, and at least one member of the Town remains alive. You win whether you are dead or alive at game's end. You have a Night action - send the moderator a PM each Night indicating a player you would like to try and protect from being killed by the Mafia. You may not protect yourself. If you are not roleblocked, a kill on the player will be prevented.

Mafia Goon - Member of the Mafia.

You win when the Town has been successfully removed from the game, or nothing can prevent the same. You win whether dead or alive at game's end. You have a partner: _____. During pre-game and each Night, the two of you may communicate with each other to discuss Night kill and/or roleblock choices, Day strategies, and so on. Then, one person of the Mafia will send the moderator a PM each Night indicating a player you would like to kill. Barring the protection of the Doctor, that player will die before the beginning of the next Day.

Mafia Roleblocker - Member of the Mafia.

You win when the Town has been successfully removed from the game, or nothing can prevent the same. You win whether dead of alive at game's end. You have a partner: _____. During pre-game and each Night, the two of you may communicate with each other to discuss Night kill and/or roleblock choices, Day strategies, and so on. Then, one person of the Mafia will send the moderator a PM each Night indicating a player you would like to kill. As the roleblocker, as long as you are alive, you may also send the moderator a PM indicating a player you would like to roleblock. Roleblocking a player's actions at Night prevents them from receiving results. If you are the only member of the Mafia, you may roleblock AND kill.

[inHimshallibe]

All players have confirmed their roles. Day 1 will begin now.

With 9 players alive, it takes 5 votes to lynch.

[inHimshallibe]

I've decided on bold, blue font as the moderator's font. Any edits into posts (like vote counts at the top of a page) will be made using this font.

Do not use the bold, blue font, because then I'll have to change colors. I'm no chameleon, just a moderator.

OK, so tomorrow a first round of prods will go out to those who still need it.

[inHimshallibe]

Sorry, prods went out today. mb53, Kenman, and Titiboo each received a prod. They will receive one more if they have not posted by Saturday, and I will begin replacing any that have yet to post by Monday.



Sorry if I did not make this clear before, but the deadline for Day 1 is June 9 at 10:00 pm CST.

[inHimshallibe]

I will replace wolframnhart; Kenman has also asked to be replaced when he picked up my prod. The replacements should be in the thread by the end of the weekend. Vote count coming.

[inHimshallibe]

Please welcome our stupendous replacements, I Am Innocent (for Kenman) and Sotty7 (for wolframnhart)!

I have posted need for replacement for mb53. We'll get this sorted out yet, folks.

Now, about that vote count... I laid it down here somewhere...

I have prodded NomDePlume and Ren.

[inHimshallibe]

I honestly cannot wait to see your reaction when I flip.

This post sounds doesn't sound town to me.
I think it could be the word honestly... Are you saying that you are not always honest with us or why are you stating here that you "honestly" cannot wait to see her reaction ?

Since nobody has posed any "random" questions, I'll do a few. Feel free to volunteer new questions. I'll answer my own questions and any others as soon as everyone is done answering, and I'll also talk about my motivations behind each question; I don't want to influence anyone

You did manage to miss the motivation behind one question. Could you please explain the the meaning behind:

6. What do you think about fence-sitters, the people who don't have a position either way? Is it an anti-town thing to do? Why or why not?

Vote Count here after some laundry

[inHimshallibe]

That was one hell of a load of laundry. Actually, I lost internet access shortly after that post.

Moving to Nashville in the next couple of days, will only be on with very limited access to post in this game.

I will fix the vote count and introduce two replacements. Yay.

EDIT: Your replacements are Skill006 (for Titiboo) and imkingdavid (for Ren). Thanks guys!

[inHimshallibe]

Sorry about any confusion I caused you back there, ToG. I meant to Edit your top-of-the-page post instead of quote it.

Again, apologies for such a late vote count.

[inHimshallibe]

With all that being said,

@mod: Can you please replace me?

I really hate to do this to all of you, but my play is going to get disgustingly lazy (even moreso than it already is) and I don't think I'll be able to keep up with the game with everything going on right now. Summer just isn't a good time for me to play mafia.

No problem, Skill006. Have a fun summer, and do come back when you have the time.

In other news, NomDePlume has encountered circumstances warranting replacement as well. I'm already working on that.

[inHimshallibe]

I have replacements!

Locke Lamora and Netopalis. I'll send them PMs after a vote count.

First, I looked at my "fixed" vote count... I'm going to go with "I was drunk" and apologize. >.>
It appears, once again, that we'll need a replacement.

This is a terrifying trend if other Newbie games progress like this.

[inHimshallibe]

==vote count here==

[inHimshallibe]

Nikanor replaces in! Deadline is a week from tonight.

I'll get an official count tonight. Sorry, got caught up in family activities.

[inHimshallibe]

Day 3 dawns, and all but jasonT1981 show up to the party.

jasonT1981 was a Townie.

There are 5 of you alive; it takes 3 of you to agree on who to lynch.

[inHimshallibe]

You string up Nikanor, and andrew and IAI promptly tie some cinderblocks to Equinox and Locke.

IAI = Mafia
Rest = Townie
