THE RULES

by Shepherd of Wolves
Good game design and management is my purpose. I reserve the right to modify these rules.

General Management

1 –

IT IS PLAYED FOR FUN

. Apparently, some people need to be reminded this is a game. To help with the fun, keep the “attacks” aloof of the person, and just on the game character they represent. If you are disrespectful to me or other players, you will be replaced. I have fun when you guys enjoy my game design, so I try to make it fair, balanced, and understandable.

2 –

Disputes with the MOD

. I help ensure the game is fun, and well managed. I am generous when possible. The rules are set up for good game management and I will follow them. If there is a dispute, I will make the final call. I am not perfect. I respect your opinion. Politely express your concerns as they arise. Thank you for being patient. I reserve the right to remove any player for unreasonable conduct.

3 –

Game COMMITMENT

. If you cannot commit to these rules, and to the timeframe, then please consider another game. If you are going to be LOA for more than 4 days, or repeatedly, then please consider another game. I like the game to move quick so that everyone can play, but not feel overburdened. I expect this game to be finished close to 5-8 weeks. If it is moving too slow, I will post deadlines.

4 –

TIMEFRAME FOR DAY & NIGHT PHASES

. In general I would like Day phases to be completed within 7-12 days. Night phases will have a standard 24-48 hour window, which will be posted for each incident.

5 –

EXTENSIONS to a set deadline

are allowed in rare circumstances. I will determine when it is permitted. If the town requests an extension, 75% (rounded up) must agree before it will be considered. If I feel that is unreasonable in the circumstance, I may change my mind. But, likely not. Extensions will generally only be 24-48 hours.

6 –

PRODDING

. Please be active. Flakers are not tolerated. I expect people to post within 36-48 hours of their posts. You will get prodded if you do not speak in the thread without prior open explanation. If you do not respond in the thread with in an additional 36 hours, I assume you are “flaking” and will start the replacement process. If I have to prod you excessively, I may choose to replace you.

7 –

QUITTING THE GAME

. Some times it is unavoidable to quit the game before it is finished. If you have to quit, please be respectful and tell me. Out of respect do not leave me and other players wondering. If you can help find a replacement for yourself, that would be thoughtful.

8 –

LEAVE OF ABSENCE

. If you are going to be LOA, it is required to post it in the thread. It is not required, but preferred that you PM the Mod if you can. LOAs must post on the day they say they will return or I will Prod them. See “GAME Commitment” for additional information when considering a LOA.

9 –

SWEAR WORDS

will be edited out when I see them. Please remember a large age range is playing. If you swear too much, I reserve the right to replace you. Consider this my warning.

10 –

VOTE COUNT

. I will try to tally the votes every 24-48 hours. If I have miss counted, let me know. Let me know if you see discrepancies.

Player Restrictions and Allowances

1 –

DON'T EDIT/DELETE POSTS

. You shouldn’t be able to anyway. Use the "Full Editor" and “Preview” buttons to look over your post before you submit it. EBWOP is the only editing allowed.

2 –

QUOTING PM'S IS FORBIDDEN

. If you quote the Mod, or claim to quote from the Mod, you will be replaced. Also, do not quote PMs from other players. If any character information is revealed you will be Mod killed, and loose. You are permitted only to claim your title and alliance when the game requires it.

3 –

PM the MOD

at any time, and only the Mod unless explicitly permitted by the Mod. Do not talk with other game players about this game outside of this thread unless your role PM specifically allows it, and only when it allows it.

4 –

Hydra or Multiple Head Accounts

. At this time, I allow hydra accounts of two heads only. They have equal chance at any role, as roles are distributed randomly.

Game Mechanics

1 –

FORMATTING MESSAGES TO THE MOD

. Format your vote and other Mod directed posts like this––

Vote: Shepherd

. Bold font is required, large font size is preferred. IF THE VOTE IS NOT FORMATTED CORRECTLY IT WILL NOT BE COUNTED.

2 –

UNVOTE AND PROPER NAME

.

Unvote

is

not

required when changing to a new vote, but preferred. Proper name is

not

required, but it must be clear who you are voting.

3 –

LYNCHING BY DAY

. Simple majority lynches. Once it is reached nothing will save the victim. No voting or unvoting will count at that point. You can keep talking until I announce Night has fallen. Upon the lynch you will learn the title and alliance of the victim. The town can opt to have a “no lynch” day.

4 –

NO LYNCH

. The town can no lynch twice without penalty. If the town has a 3rd “no lynch” for whatever reason, the mafia will get one bonus night kill the following night of the 3rd “no lynch” day. This cycle repeats.

5 –

DEADLINE

. If a deadline has been set, and it comes before the vote, then town gets a “No Lynch”. See “No Lynch” to learn more.

6 –

NIGHT CHOICES

. If your role allows, you can discuss with your partner(s) strategy and night selections. Send Night choices at any point after I declare it Night before the night deadlines. All Night choices are honored no matter how they arrive. Preference is given to role-blockers. If Day Phase comes and you did not get night choices to me, I assume you deliberately choose a “No Target”. I am sorry but they do not count once day starts.

7 –

DEAD PLAYER POSTING

. If you are dead, you cannot post in the thread or PM any player in the game, except the Mod. To express your frustration of dying you can post one “bah” post. This post must be short and cannot reveal anything about others, nor influence the game in any manner. If “bah” gets out of hand, I will ban it. Even if you are dead, you win when your team wins, so keep checking up on the game to see how it pans out.

Prologue

In recent decades linking criminals to crime scenes has been improved with the use of DNA analysis. Skin, hair, and body fluids have been collected from several locations. The DNA from these samples have been put into the database. This helps link repeat offenders with the same DNA samples to multiple crime scenes. The database has several John Doe samples who have not been connected to specific persons in the community.

In the past 3 months, there has been a string of major criminal activity related to money laundering, gun trafficking, and sex trafficking. Before this time, Huntsville Alabama had been ranked 8 out of 10 for the top 10 places to live in the U.S.. The Huntsville community is in an uproar. They are angry with the rising crime, and are committed to discover and execute these criminals. You all are a body of concerned citizens that has decided to vote out and kill your suspected criminals.

ACT 1

Scene 1

The morning air was unusually chilly for August. It was 4:30 A.M., and the sun had not yet broken the horizon. But, Jerry Harmon had to be at his post by 5:00 A.M. sharp. As he opened his Silver ’08 Honda Accord he felt the morning dew on the handle. It was not uncommon for dew to settle when the humidity was 85%. He turned over his engine as his thoughts wondered off about what had recently been happening in the news.

Huntsville, Alabama was a relatively quiet town. It had its small crimes here and there, but overall no major problems. It was the headquarters for the George C. Marshall Space Flight Center, NASA’s spacecraft propulsion research center. The engineers were working on a new lunar aircraft, with a mission deadline for 2015. The community was proud to seat MSFC. But, recently community pride was being chafed. Things had been rough the past few months with increased crime.

While Jerry was driving into the parking facility at Marshall, his mind centered on the disturbing article he read in the paper that morning. A young mother, age 23, named Monica Jenkins, had be reported missing for 3 days now. He had read news like this in recent months, but this was particularly disturbing because Monica had dated his son Mark when she was 17. Although Mark was gone with a Navy assignment, and they had ended their dating 4 years earlier; Jerry still felt aquatinted with this young lady.

Reading this really brought home, for Jerry, the fact that this had been a problem for 3 months or so. With Monica missing, this made for 7 young ladies missing in such a short period. Jerry normally had a rough casing around his emotions. But today this hit home. As he put the car into park he began to sob.

Scene 2

“This is not right!” shouted one man.
“Agreed! We need to stop these abductions.”

‘Light the Way’ Christian church was packed full for a Thursday night. The neighborhood was up in arms. Two of the seven missing women had been members of this church congregation.

“We have contacted the FBI, the local police, and the Mayor,” piped in Pastor Thomas Longhill. “They are investigating these cases. Our best efforts will be to pray to God, and keep our eyes open.”

The room burst into loud commotion. Amidst the commotion three men came in, grabed a person and drug them out of the chapel. Jerry, who was close to the door, burst up out of his seat and ran after the crowd. There in the parking lot were 4 more people. Before the people of the church could react, 3 shots were fired.

drmyshottyizsik

was lying dead in a pool of blood. No one at the church knew it, but he was

Vanilla Mafia

.

No body knew what to think. A bloody bath, confusion, anger, and fear all boiling together. The three men who carried drmyshottyizsik out of the chapel were gone. And, the one man who shoot the gun was franticly making his escape. Jerry called out, “There, there he is. That is the man who pulled the trigger.”

[Shepherd_of_Wolves]

It is NIGHT 1 Now.

Night will be no shorter than Thursday at 11 AM and not guaranteed to be any longer than Friday at 11 AM. All times are Mountain Standard Time, or UTC - 7. You can send selections up to the point I officially announce Day 2. However, I will only guarantee this time period stated above.

[Shepherd_of_Wolves]

Scene 3

What a terrible day it had been. Jerry was in shock. Here he was, 11:37 PM, in the Bird Springs Police station. Never in all his life had he witnessed what he saw tonight. He had known drmyshottyizsik for 13 years. The Harmon family would go camping each summer with drmyshottyizsik’s family when Mark, Lucy, and Joanne were real young.

Lucy just had her 22 birthday two months ago. Joanne was just 20. “so young,” thought Jerry. Mark, the only boy, was 25 now. He was the oldest of the three kids. He was good friends with ‘Big’ Jim, the third child of drmyshottyizsik. He was just 2 days younger than Mark. They were best friends for all 13 years they have known each other. When Mark started dating Monica, ‘Big’ Jim started to date Monica’s best friend, Trisha. ‘Big’ Jim and Trisha got married, and already had one child who was 3 years old.

“Wow!” Jerry thought. That could have been me. “Why was I not fast enough to get up and stop that?” He knew that asking these questions were not healthy for him, but he just kept thinking about it. “‘Big’ Jim, Trish, little Bella. How in the world? How...?”

Jerry was interrupted. “Sorry, Mr. Harmon, as bad as this night is...we hate to say it.”

“What is happening? Has something else come up?”

Continuing with caution, the officer started, “We are so sorry. But, Hrezs body was just found. We have reason to believe you also know him. He was at the church tonight too.”

With great intensity, Jerry wailed, “NO..., no, no, this can’t be happening. Are you sure?”

“Yes, Mr. Harmon. Regrettably, we have matched there DNA with the database. We know for sure. We have identified that

Hrezs

is the

Evidence Examiner

for our crime labs. Mr. Harmon, we recommend that you take several days off from work. Tonight has been an overwhelming situation. Now we have reason to think these incidences are related. But, until further investigation can be made, we advise you to be very cautious. Watch your family carefully.”

Scene 4

It was hard for Jerry to miss work. Here it was, mid 2010. His work was very important. Deadlines are stacking up on his research project. The new fuel technology needed to be complete by the years end of 2010 so that development could get started.

Jerry was the director over the fuel cell technology for the 2015 lunar mission. In the 1960s and 70s, NASA used solid fuels for rocket launch, and liquid fuel for flight in space. When a solid fuel is ignited, it must completely burn the entire cell. Whereas, liquid fuels can be turned on and off, piped to a combustion chamber. This allows for better regulation on the liquid fuel cells. The entire liquid fuel source does not need to be used. The disadvantage to liquid is how explosive the fuel tanks are. In flight, if space debris hits the liquid fuel tank it is highly explosive. The danger is loosing the entire crew and ship. Solids do not have the same explosive nature. But, they cannot be regulated or reserved for later use. Jerry’s team was developing a hybrid gelatin fuel. It has the consumption control of liquid, but the stability of solid.

It had been a restless night for Jerry. How could he sleep? Two people he had known for years, dead. One he had just seen drug out and shot in front of his own eyes. Further, seven young women missing, three he had been familiar with.

Death was not new to Jerry. He was involved in the Gulf war in 1990. This was like reliving those horrible days. He had put most of those memories out of his mind. But, last night, the nightmares were no longer dreams. He witnessed it with his own eyes. These visions were lucid and real. How could Jerry keep his composure at work? He needed some time. He needed help.

ACT 2

ACT 2–Scene 1

The next day as Jerry was eating breakfast, he discussed the recent events with his wife. Of course they talked the night before, but they were deciding what could be done. So much was happening. It was so close to home. Never had they felt the affects of crime so personally. Annabel, Jerry’s wife, was also familiar with drmyshottyizsik’s family.

As the discussion was tearing at their emotions, a breaking news report was announced on the local news.
“Today the body of

Prox

was found in a warehouse. Police investigations have identified that he is

Vanilla Mafia

. Police are saying that Prox was connected to recent human trafficking schemes. Links are being made between Prox and drmyshottyizsik.

drmyshottyizsik was killed just recently in a fatal shooting at Light the Way ministries. Preliminary investigations show that these two men worked together in human trafficking schemes that involved the kidnapping of several women of the past few months.”

For Jerry this was too much. drmyshottyizsik, his friend for 13 years was now being accused of human trafficking. “But, he was at the church meeting as an effort to help uncover the mess,” thought Jerry. Jerry was determined to get to the bottom of this. It was time to hire a Private Investigator. It was just too personal to let the news agencies and police handle alone.

ACT 2–Scene 2

“You have some good leads Mr. Harmon,” said Nick Lukau, a PI. “I have already been following some events connected with this investigation. I will get started on your leads today. Oh, by the way, do you know a person by the name of don_johnson?”

“No. Why do you ask?” responded Jerry.

“Well, late in the night he was killed. It appears that has been involved in some rebel group that feels the police are moving too slow. This group has linked to the shooting at the church.

ACT 2–Scene 3

The phone rang as Jerry was sitting at the table reading the morning paper. “Who could be calling this early,” thought Jerry. He had not worked for about 4 days. He was still planing to have about 6 more work days off just to settle down and relax.

“Hello, this is Jerry Harmon.”

“Hello Jerry. It is Nick. Sorry to call so early in the morning. I have been out late last night. I was just getting myself to bed. Because I knew you were an earlier riser, I thought that I would tell you some of the details that I have discovered.”

“Great! I have been expecting your call. So, tell me what’s happening.”

“What I have to say is not good news. Prepare yourself to hear it how it is.”

“Well, at this point, I do not think any surprises will affect me too much. I mean, I am prepared to know the truth behind all of this.”

“As I said the first time we met, there has been a rebel group trying to get their hands on the criminals. Some background will help you understand where we are today. And, how this group got involved in undermining the mafia. My findings have led me to the Irish Mob, known as the Celtics.

As you know, there has been an increase in human trafficking. Or, at least you have seen the abduction of several girls in the Huntsville area. It is actually larger than just in Huntsville. I have tracked data from several cities across the South Eastern region of the United States. Alabama has seen nearly 63 kidnappings of women like Monica in the past 6 months. It appears that this human trafficking has many buyers. The Celtics are involved in supplying kidnapped persons to the highest purchasers. The kidnapped persons are then used for sex pimping, pornography, and vital organs.

The Irish mob has strong roots, going back to the 19th century. They have coordinated with some purchasing mobs in Mexico, Canada, Nicaragua, Peru, Tia Land, India, China, and several European countries. They have powerful friends that are entangled in government. They have lawyers, judges, city council members, and even FBI agents who are loyal to the Irish mob.

It turns out your dear friend, drmyshottyizsik, is entangled with this Irish Mob. The information I collected demonstrates that drmyshottyizsik was actually a hit-man for the Celtics. Well, when they caught wind of this rebel group they sent a few members of the mafia to clean up this group. It turns out that the group swiftly identified that two men from the mob had been among them, drmyshottyizsik and the other man mentioned the other day on the news, Prox.

All this brings me to what happened yesterday. I found the meeting place, where this group was discussing how to take out the Celtic boss, and a few key players in the mob. While they were talking, it was clear that they were still uneasy about the fact that they discovered two mob members among them. They think these two were responsible for the killing of two others in the group. To rap up, this group started discussing the possibility that there still were one or two more untrustworthy members in the group. They forced everyone in the group to state each others allegiances. Of course, no one admitted to being part in this mob. But, they felt that pacman281292 was acting like a snake. So, they beat him to death with bats, iron bars, and chains.

After all that activity, it was realized that

pacman281292

was a

Vanilla Townie

.

I know this is not the news you wanted. But, it is getting us closer to locking down who is involved. It seems that I have established a link between these recent murders, and the kidnappings. There is a lot more I need to work on. But, I wanted to give this to you. You are paying me, so it is important that you know what I know.”

After what felt like a 30 minute pause of silence, Jerry soberly choked, “Wow! You were not kidding about preparing myself. That is a lot to process. drmyshottyizsik, has been my friend for over a decade. I had no idea. I knew him real personally. I never in my life felt threatened. I loved that man, like a brother. What am I supposed to think? How am I supposed to feel? I just am a blank page.”

“Jerry. It is bad news. Give yourself some time. But, what we should focus on is finding Monica. It has only been a few weeks. Maybe we can find her. Leave the investigation to me. Just relax. Process your emotional experience in a safe place.”

After the call ended, Jerry just stared blankly for an hour or two. His emotions were so intense that he did not experience one coherent thought. His eyes were fixed in the distance, as if he was not even present in the room.

Night 3 Starts now.

I expect Night 3 to be complete by tomorrow afternoon. Please send me all night choices ASAP. I will not accept night choices after Saturday at 11 AM MTN time.

[Shepherd_of_Wolves]

ACT 2–Scene 4

It had been a few days since Jerry talked to Nick, the PI. The time allowed him to calm down his emotions, and get more sense in his head. Although he was astonished to learn that drmyshottyizsik was not the man he thought he was, he realized that there was more important fish to fry for the time being. He know Monica and several other woman were missing, and he wanted to get to the bottom of this situation.

He kept thinking about the group of rebels, the Irish Mob, and trying to piece things together. It was all so new to him. He had lived in Alabama his whole life, and never really new much about the Irish mob. He was aware of petty gangs near Birmingham. Huntsville was a clean city and he was not expecting anything to become so personal. For him, crime had alway been a distant experience. He never know anyone real personal that had been a victim of rap, murder, or even theft. He felt like he had been sheltered from all that. Not anymore. Now he felt shattered.

As his mind was mulling on these emotions, and events his wife entered the room. “Hey Jerry, come see the news. I think it may be related to that group that Nick was telling you about.”

“Oh great!” thought Jerry. He was not interested to discover any more deaths. He felt like he was right in the center of cartel and mafia wars. But, he was also compelled by his need to unveil the truth. He could not resist watching and listening for any information.

“Police have confirmed. There has been a major explosion near Lockheed Martin by Research BLVD. This was a crime scene that investigators were collecting evidence from. Several police are injured, and one crime scene investigator is confirmed dead. They have not released the name of this investigator yet. But, it appears to be a really bad situation.

Police are not sure what caused the explosion at a crime scene. The bomb squad has been called to the scene, just to make sure there are no more explosives. This is really bad. Some are questioning if this was a blown gas pipe, or if there was foul play involved. At this point it is not clear. But, police are saying that if there was foul play involved that it could be someone trying to hide evidence; or, even targeting the police task force involved in collecting evidence. Either way, this is a bad situation. As we said, one Evidence Collector is dead. And several other police force are injured.

Wait, we just got the name of the

Evidence Collector

who was killed. Yes. The name that Police have released is

LynchMePls

. Yes. It appears that we have the name now of one Evidence Collector who is dead at the scene.”

Jerry stood there and watched. This was the same place that Nick told him that pacman281292 had been killed. Even though the media did not state it, Jerry knew that this was intentional. He saw the pieces coming together. He know that LynchMePls must have been part of that group, and that there still was mafia among them.

Night 5 starts now.

It will be no longer than Wednesday at 5 PM. It may be as short as 24 hours.

[Shepherd_of_Wolves]

ACT 3–Scene 1

It had been several weeks. Jerry had returned to work. He had been back for about 3 days. The deadlines were approaching very rapidly; and he needed to get in gear. The team had been working hard. And, even though he was off for so long, he checked in to make sure things were on target in his leave of absence. He felt confident that they were on schedule. But, he was the type to be done 3 weeks before the final deadline.

He was holding his composure most of the time around his crew. Only when he had personal time to think would he let his mind wonder on recent events. His thoughts would turn to the new information about his long time pal, drmyshottyizsik. He would think about the good times they enjoyed over the years. It made Jerry wonder how he could not see it fit together. He started to identify some aspects from the past. But, not much was adding up to say he could have known. For instance, drmyshottyizsik was always well off financially. Jerry and he would just discuss that he had good investments. So, he would never have guessed that he came by money from the mafia. Drmyshottyizsik was a rough man around the edges. But, so was Jerry. They had both seen war. They knew that would affect any man. However, Jerry always thought his friend handled himself well. He really seemed down to earth.

“Jerry!” His name was shouted in haste, ripping him from his wondering concentration. “We have been informed to go under lockdown.”

Jerry immediately took command. As he jumped up from his chair, heading towards the door, he asked, “what is happening?”

“There has been a shooting here on base in residence quarters.” Marshall was located on the Redstone Arsenal, a U.S. Army base. There was a population of about 2,400 people on base. Although the residence quarters would not affect the Marshall research facility, it was protocol to have a complete lockdown when any homicide took place.

Jerry secured his lab team. As they waited to hear what happened. Jerry could not help but wonder if this could be related to all the mess he had been dealing with. But, he felt that it was ludicrous to assume that. The Celtics could not have much influence on base. This was a highly regulated, secure facility. Top secret research was done here. The most extraneous measure are in place to ensure that works are in good standing with society.

After nearly 3 hours, it was announced that body of

Zajnet

was found. It was declared that he was a

Vanilla Townie

. He was a citizen who was married to a female sergeant.

Opening Post – For links to all Game Flavor.

[Shepherd_of_Wolves]

ACT 3–Scene 2

Jerry was anxious to speak with Nick. His thoughts had been crazy all day after the announcement of yet another death. This time a person on base. He was reeling with anger once again. He had no idea who this person was. But, it just happened at the wrong time.

The phone rang. It was Nick.

“It is clear that Mafia are still part of this group. As you heard on the news, an explosion killed an evidence examiner. The bad news, Jerry, is that it was intentional. The news agencies have not conveyed the details yet. But, my sources say that the explosive material actually came from a classified military experimental source. I am not quite sure how mafia got access to this material. It is obvious they have some connections on the base. The one person who had data was found dead. Right now his death is being written off as a suicide. I do not believe it. He was part in this rebel group.”

“Was it Zajnet?” Jerry interrupted Nick. “No, who is Zajnet?” replied Nick.

“Oh, I thought that you would have heard this by now. He was a civilian on base that was shot today. He was married to an officer. I blew off the idea that he could be related because of the high security protocol on base. But, after what you just told me, I thought he was the person you referred too.”

“Sorry Jerry. I do not know who he is. But, I will have to investigate to see if he has relation. Evidently some connections are on base. We need to follow all of them.

The person I was referring to is

Katsuki

. He was the

Examiner Intern

to Hrezs. When Hrezs was killed, he was hired by the police force to be the new

Evidence Examiner

. He followed Hrezs lead. Apparently, they had a lot of data directly related to this group, and to the mafia. I was on my way to meet with Katsuki when I learned he did not show up to work that day. That was suspicious to me. He was in this group, trying to unravel who was behind the crimes.”

“So, in total, how many people are in this group? And, how many have died?” asked Jerry.

“Well, the rumor was there were 12 people. I have learned of the death of 8 people, if we assume that Zajnet was part in this group.”

Jerry started adding things together, “So there are only 4 people left. If the pattern hold true, 2 more people will die soon. Do you know who else is in the group? Is there a way that we can help stop this group from being picked off one by one?”

“It is unclear Jerry. Really unclear. But, you need to be careful at work. Make sure that you stay up on the investigations on base. Because of your research position, you may be able access information that can help us. Let me know what you think should be done next. If the Mafia defeat this group before we can contact them, I wonder what vital information will be lost forever. I am doing my best to discover who else is in the group. Unfortunately, I learn about it when they die. I do not have enough leads to get in and connect with them when they are alive.

[Shepherd_of_Wolves]

This time, Jerry was expecting to hear about it. On the news was the announcement of the death of Korashk. It was declared that

Korashk

was a

Vanilla Townie

. What surprised Jerry this time was that Korashk’s body was discovered near a park that Jerry loved to go to relax. That bothered Jerry. Again, this was another personal blow. His sanctuary was now haunted by the murder of yet another victim.

What further surprised Jerry is that Nick seemed to have just disappeared. Over and over he attempted to call. When he went down to his office, there was not even a trace that Nick’s business was ever there. It was a game store. Strange, a board game store, of all things.

This left Jerry wondering, what happened to Nick. Would they ever have the chance to talk? Would he be able to finish his investigation to find and relieve Monica Jenkins? He felt like we was going to have to hire a new PI. But, that would start the whole process from scratch. And, could that really connect all the dots if he had a new investigator?

Opening Post – For links to all Game Flavor.

[Shepherd_of_Wolves]

As Jerry showed up to work the next day. To his surprise, there were military police and S.W.A.T. agents. As he was pulling into the parking lot, he was stopped by an officer.

“Are you Jerry Harmon?”
“Yes, sir, I am.”
“Can I see your federal ID card?”

Jerry pulled out his federal ID badge used to enter the army base and handed it to the officer.

“We have our suspect here, sir. I have confirmed that we have Jerry Harmon.”
“What, what is happening?” Jerry insisted.

“You are under arrest, Jerry Harmon, for the murder of Korashk and pacman, and for bombing of a building leading to the death of LynchMePls. We have evidence that you were involved in supplying the explosives used last week that killed LynchMePls. Further, we have your DNA at the murder scene of Korashk and pacman. We will give you further briefing at the police station. And you can have your lawyer present to assist you in addressing these accusations.”

How could this happen? Jerry was a good man. An outstanding citizen. A highly respected engineer. Jerry did not do any of these things. Later, Jerry would come to find out that he was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

A stack of events did not bode well for Jerry. First off, his connection with drmyshottyizsik went for nearly a decade, a known Celtic. Second, explosives were used from his research team and linked to the building explosion that killed LynchMePls. Third, his DNA was discovered all around the death scene of Korashk and pacman. Fourth, he knew too many details that only the actual criminal could have known.

How did this all happen? Jerry was not at any of these events. He knew that he was innocent. But, too much circumstantial evidence was piled up against him. And how could he refute it. There was no person named Nick Lukau. No where in all of Huntsville, or Alabama was that person to be found.

You see, after Prox and drmyshottyizsik were discovered as dead hit-men sent by the Celtics to kill this group, the mafia decided that someone needed to be framed. Who better than drmyshottyizsik’s ‘best friend’ Jerry Harmon. The Celtic’s knew of this friendship for years. They did not care, but when they learned Jerry Harmon was going to start investigating the abduction of Monica Jenkins, and the death of drmyshottyizsick, they decided he was a perfect candidate to frame for murder and conspiracy.

How was Jerry picked? How was he framed? That is both simple and complicated. The real person behind Nick Lukau was Doombunny9. That is right. This whole time, Jerry was actually speaking to a disguised member of the mafia.

Doombunny

was an expert

Evidence Contaminator

. He picked Jerry to be framed.

Doombunny contaminated the DNA samples of pacman and Korashk with the DNA of Jerry Harmon. The samples were reported as inconclusive because they did not match any samples in the data base. He told Jerry specific details about the deaths of these people so that Jerry would appear to know too much when questioned. That knowledge would place Jerry at the scene of crime in the eyes of investigators.

The more technical and complicated task was breaking into the research lab and obtaining explosive material that only Jerry Harmon’s research team could access. That was a vital part of Doombunny’s plan. Doombunny need to kill LynchMePls while he was collecting evidence. This in part was to contaminate the evidence of the scene, but to frame Jerry for both the death of pacman and LynchMePls.

To get access to the base, Doombunny gained some trust from Zajnet, who lived on base. Once we was past the guards, he used his hacking and identity theft skills to obtain access to the material. The group was starting to get the hint that someone was contaminating evidence. After the explosion they thought it must have been Zajnet, because he had access to the base. But they turned out to be wrong.

The remaining 2 members of the group realized as soon as they killed Korashk, that they were now sentenced to death by the Celtics. So, they barely escaped with their lives. Or, so they thought. Nothing else was heard of them. And Jerry, had no evidence of his innocence. No group. No Nick. Just Jerry, and all the evidence lining up to convict him of murder on three accounts.

Jerry was left to fear the fate of Monica Jenkins was horrible. He would never know for sure. But, it was clear that she was most likely sold out to a brothel, to be a sex slave all the remainder of her days. This was compounded torture for Jerry as he sit in the dimly lit, cold, and lonely cell of a framed, but innocent convict.

Mafia Wins!

There is one exception to matching names with the DNA sample. Once a player has died, you will examine their DNA and match it up with the database. Thus you will identify the name against the DNA sample.

Win condition

: You win when scum die, even if you are dead.

Here is the balance. I know I had tones of investigation roles. But, they were only useful when openly discussed. With them out in the open and trying to make connections in the open thread, made it so scum could really track down what was happening.

But, that made it easy for scum to pick them off. So, I had to create a lot of safety net so that it forced a few days of investigations on the scum.

This scenario set up a thread skill game. It was all about the real power being the skill of players in the thread. I felt like it was well balanced to force all the power to be in the open thread. Except the masons added balance to the secrecy of the night actions of the mafia.

Both sides had amazing game play. Night kills were perfect. If they did not kill Hrezs at the beginning, it would have made it more difficult. But, with a mafia lynch both day 1 and day 2, that gave incredible power to the town. Each day after that I was completely surprised to watch the skill.

The open mass claim both helped and hurt town. Although, Doombunny know pretty well who to contaminate, that confirmed it for him. I will discuss that mechanism a little more. I will also post my reports in order.

Doombunny Contamination Report
Doombunny9	Block Selection	Mysterio	Zwet	LMP	Katsuki	Zwet

Night 4 had no report given, as no Evidence Examiner was alive to receive it. But it would have yielded inconclusive.

Because Katsuki had 2 vials of evidence, I flipped a gold dollar coin to determine what vial was contaminated. It could have easily allowed the innocent to be found.

Codes were assigned based on what happened first.

[Shepherd_of_Wolves]

I think it was very interesting that Doombunny effectively blocked both Zwet and LMP on investigating pacman. That was just a luck of the draw. But, that made for a powerful result for him. Because pacman was also the first to be successfully blocked from a read, and the second. I think the timing on the mass claim obviously affected that.

[Shepherd_of_Wolves]

Thanks for the encouragement. It will be a little while before I host again, a few months that is. But, I will let you all know when I do.

I really like this variation on the cop role. I think it made it much harder to play. I thought Zwets early confirm was ballsy. I thought that he would have been a little more powerful to lead to the victory because of that. I would have expected him to be killed much sooner too. It interested me that LMP was selected before Zwet by Doombunny.

I think that town really should have lynched the odd claim out when they had the safety days. Not in LyLo.

The other weakness was Zajnets total dead player, and korashks boredom. If those 2 players were more active and true players, then it would have made it better for town. That was one blessing for Mafia. They have taught me that I need the raise my minimum standard posting requirement. I struggled with what to do with Zajnet. I prodded him 2 or 3 times. He always came back and posted.

[Shepherd_of_Wolves]

I found it hilarious to watch you all guess what roles I designed. And, Katsuki had a phenomenal rebuttal to the DNA Decoder claim. But, he really knew the real title since he was back up.

[Shepherd_of_Wolves]

So, the pre game investigation, I felt was really important to actually balance it towards town. I was not expecting a Collector claim until day 2 or 3. And, because the information was so partial and difficult to discuss without open thread discussion, I thought town needed it. I did give pre game blocking too. But, Doombunny did not know who to block. So, I thought it unnecessary to allow a kill. Actually, I felt a night 0 kill really would have destroyed the balance towards mafia too much.

[Shepherd_of_Wolves]

Also, I chose 2 different collectors so that it would make it harder to just say the innocent belongs here and the guilty there. It would have been 50% chance. And, when the guilty and inconclusive come together, that really proved to be the case.

Interesting me was the fact than LMP and Zwet never investigated the same person on the same night. If that happened, I would have been the 100% certainty.

I was going to laugh if day one Hrezs came out. I think he was not speaking up because he did not know a backup was there. And, he got the guilty and innocent for pre game. So, he really felt he had a good chance that Prox was guilty. But, prox felt that he put on too much pressure, and did not question Zwet enough. That is why they selected him for Night 1 lynch. But, if Hrezs announced his results of 2 that would have outed the other Collector early game too.

[Shepherd_of_Wolves]

Did the story line mean much to you all. I think it has a place. And, I tried to make a creative twist. My problem was that it was hard to write too far before I saw the outcome. I wanted to pre-write the whole thing. But, who dies really can change the story line when I mix the characters in with the none playing characters. But, it takes time to write the story as the game plays. And, it made it a little challenging to be ready, especially after day 2. I knew people wanted the results. But, 24 hours was just too quick. I did not have enough time to even think of where to take the storyline before it was ready to be posted. Parts of the story I just made up as I went. Like the final twist did not come until last night. I kept wondering, how do I finish the climax if mafia win.

I feel that it came out okay. But, I thought I would ask your feedback on it. What could I improve? What would make it more engaging? The DNA theme did not tie in as much as I thought I would make it, expect in the player roles. I thought I was going to go father with the Monica side. But, then I took off with the details about Jerry. And, I just was not sure how to write in the death scenes where it seemed realistic that it could happen to one person.

The alternate ending, if Doombunny died, is that Jerry would have found out that Nick was Doombunny from another member of town. He would have learned of Doombunny's plot to frame him, but would have been saved by the success of uncovering Doombunny. Just in case you wondered.

[Shepherd_of_Wolves]

Well doombunny was pure lucky to contaminate twice on consecutive nights by choosing two deferent players.
