Mystery Box Mafia - Game Over

1. I am the Mod. Mod rhymes with God. Therefore, in this game, I am God. Deal with it. If you have a problem or a question, PM me or use bold text in this format:
Mod: Blablabla
I am a kind god, luckily for you.
2. Be civil to each other. If you feel this rule is being violated or flaunted excessively, PM me with your complaint and the offending posts.
3. Using or attempting to use loopholes in the rules to fulfill your win condition is not cool.
4. No small or invisible text, making codes, using the structure of the role PM to your advantage, or general jackassery.
5. No editing or deleting your posts for ANY reason.
6. Roles triumph rules. If there is a conflict between the rules and the role, the role wins.
7. Do not communicate about the game outside of this thread.
8. When you're dead, you stay dead. No "bah" post. Nothing.
9. Modkills automatically mean you lose the game. You automatically become a Neutral Survivor which means that you lose. Period. Modkill = loss.
10. I will decide all rule-breaking on a case-by-case basis. Modkills are mine to use when I see fit but that doesn't mean I will. Forced replacement is more likely to happen.
11.
Indigo
is my color. Don't use it.
12. Any of the rules in all the game are fit to be changed. More rules may be added and rules may be removed. I will inform the town if this happens, however.

Gameplay

1. All votes and unvotes should be
bolded
and use this format:
Vote: Whoever
,
Unvote: Whoever
.
2. All FoSes should be
bolded
and use this format:
FoS: Whoever
,
UnFoS: Whoever
.
2a. Rule 2 is not applicable if there is not a FoS count.
3. All public daykills should be
bolded
and use this format:
Kill: Whoever

4. Any option for the town requires a majority of votes. The majority will be stated in every votecount but will generally be defined as (n/2 + 1) with even numbers and (n/2 + .5) with odd numbers.
5. Players can vote to not take action or null vote. If enough null votes are reached to make any other choice impossible, no action will be taken(aka no lynch).
6. If a majority is not reached by the specified deadline, the null action will be taken.

Deadlines and Prods

1. The first day will have a deadline of twenty days. Ten days from the official beginning of the day is the default deadline for each day that follows. I don't want to move this, though I might if excessive flaking occurs to grab replacements.
2. If there is an excess of time after the lynch occurs for deadline, that time will be added on to the next day.
2a. This does not apply to extended flaking deadline extensions.
3. If you feel the need to replace out of my game for whatever reason, please tell me. Simply flaking out is bad for my view of you and may result in future banishment from my games. Man up, grow some balls, and tell me you're replacing out. If you can find a replacement for yourself, that would also be nice.
4. Any non-Day phases(Night, Twilight, Dawn, etc) will have variable deadlines which will be specified in rule 4a.
4a. Night will last 72 hours after the day ends.
5. A prod will go out if the player is inactive for 24 hours or more without notifying the mod of V/LA or other issues.
6. A player can be prodded three times before being replaced.
7. If the about-to-be-prodded player makes a post before he is actually prodded, he will dodge that prod.
8. I will prod on request though this may or may not count on their prod count, depending.

Special Rules

1. This game is semi-open. All players are vanilla and have no powers
for now
.
2. All players have a box. Each box contains some sort of ability or power that has the capacity to hurt or help the player. Players may open their box by PMing the mod
Open: XXXX Box
at any time during the game.
2a. Players may only carry a maximum of ONE box at a time.
3. All boxes have a level rating, 1, 2, or 3. This level denotes its potency, not its actual pro-town worth or positive impact on the player.
4. All boxes have the following format:
Box Name/Box Type/Box Level

5. Boxes may be traded between players in two ways: public trading and private trading.
5a. Public trading is done very simply. Player A posts
Trade: Player B
, with Player B confirming by posting
Trade: Player A
. The two players will then receive their new boxes.
5b. Private trading is facilitated through the mod. A player may PM the mod, asking to trade with another player, with a message up to 160 characters included. The receiving player may choose to accept or decline the trade.
6. Players may only trade during the day and may only have three successful trades through a given Day/Night cycle. Players are unable to request trades once they have three successful trades.
7. Once you have used your box, you may pick up another box from the Box Shelf by PMing the mod with
Pick Up: XXXXX Box
. There are five spare boxes on this shelf that may be picked up at Night. Players may also trade boxes with the shelf, replacing their current box. This may happen during day or night. The list of boxes on the Box Shelf will be publicly posted at the beginning of the day, starting Day 2 and onward.
8. Players may open a maximum of 2 boxes over the course of the game. Player may no longer participate in box trading or any other situations that would allow them to use or receive another box.
9. Only ONE active ability may be used per night, except for opening boxes or the use of any other abilities that state otherwise.

Role PMs and the Setup

All players will start as either town or Mafia. All players will also start as Vanilla, with the added power of BOXES and the ability to open them, trade them, and take boxes from the shelf. The two roles in the game look like this:

You are a

Vanilla Townie

.

Abilities:

Voice(Passive)

– You are allowed to speak in-thread during the day without any limitations.

Vote(Passive)

– You have one vote. During the day, you may put this vote on a player to see them lynched.

Box(Active)

– You may use any boxes you possess at any time, granting you whatever powers it contains. This will consume the box. So long as you have a box, you may participate in all trading activities. You are able to consume up to two boxes over the course of the game. You start the game with one box.

Win Condition(Town):

You win when only players with the Town Win Condition are alive.

Please confirm by PM.

You are a

Mafia Goon

.

Abilities:

Voice(Passive)

– You are allowed to speak in-thread during the day without any limitations.

Vote(Passive)

– You have one vote. During the day, you may put this vote on a player to see them lynched.

Box(Active)

– You may use any boxes you possess at any time, granting you whatever powers it contains. This will consume the box. So long as you have a box, you may participate in all trading activities. You are able to consume up to two boxes over the course of the game. You start the game with one box.

Mafia Faction(Information/Faction)

"Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday dear Alex!
Happy birthday to you!"

The collective office cheered as the small, store-bought cake was brought out. Alex had a slightly embarrassed grin on his face, his party hat tilted slightly to the right on his mop of shaggy brown hair. He looked like some sort of post-modern hippie, his face and beard that of someone accustomed to crashing on coaches, his suit wrinkled and tie marked with a few stains of some unknown foodstuff. No one let Alex's appearance fool them: he was one of the best young programmers they had ever seen. Some of the stuff he had done with their sales databases were, in his words, "off the hook."

James Colborom, CEO of Colborom Computer Parts Inc, patted him on the shoulder. "Happy thirtieth, man. Congratulations." James was, despite his age, one of the youngest members of the company. He commanded an impressive amount of respect from his colleague and many people believed him to be a modern-day genius in his field. Several of the rights to his parts had already been snatched up by Microsoft, among others...along with the mysterious new profits leaking in...well...it's no wonder people were calling him the next Bill Gates.

With a sly grin, James pulled out something from behind his back. "I hope everyone remembered their White Elephant Gift!" Yet another tradition...the White Elephant Gift party. Bring a crappy present in a cardboard box, he said, and we'll pass 'em around. See what you get!

This would be the last White Elephant he would give or receive.

As people passed around the presents, James looked around the office suddenly and motioned out to the hallway. "Hold on a second. You guys can start without me, I need to go make a call." He started walking, making his way towards the elevator.

Two things happened simultaneously. The first was the whirring of the fax machine. The second was a huge BANG[ that reverberated up and down the hallway, shocking everyone into silence. Where James once stood, there now stood/sat/smoked a charred, smoking body, the remains of the CEO of Colborom Computer Parts Inc. Someone screamed.

Pandemonium erupted.

The fax finally finished coming in.

YOU HAVE SURVIVED THE FIRE BUT WILL YOU SURVIVE THE COMING TRIALS?
DO NOT TRY TO LEAVE OR YOU ARE NEXT.
WE ARE HERE.
WE WANT THE ARK.

Role PMs going out. Prepare yourself. Confirm by PM. You have 72 hours until the game starts. Boxes will be sent after alignment and the game will start.

Some of you may have received deleted messages from me. These were role PMs I dicked up. Think nothing of it.

I'm also going to take this time to say that you should use the time allotted to you to read over the rules, especially the ones concerning box mechanics. A lot of it will be brand new to everyone. Also, no one has a box PM yet. I will send them out once everyone has confirmed their alignment. I will not require the confirmation of boxes.

Seraphim · Post Post #4 (isolation #4) » Sun Jun 26, 2011 6:40 am

All players have now confirmed. This post will be replaced by flavor and the start of the day once all box PMs have gone out, which will be in a few hours or so once I get back home. Hold on tight, people! The game will begin soon.

Deadlines and Prods Rule #1 has been modified, so I suggest people take a look at that.

Unvoting is not required, merely recommended. It does make it a little bit easier for me but I won't disallow votes on the basis of there being no unvote preceding it.

MoI wrote:@MOD – The rules state that the Box Shelf is publicly released and that players may trade with it during the day. Am I missing said public disclosure?

I'm going to go clarify that rule. You may trade with the shelf at night

and interact with the shelf, at night.

This is wrong. You can only pick up boxes at night, you may trade your box in with the shelf during day or night. This counts towards the trading limit. At the beginning of each day after this one, I will post the number of boxes on the shelf. Shelf box requests will be processed in real time.

I'm posting a verdict on the YamiChan thing.

First of all, I do have reason to believe that some people are in fact baiting and aggravating her. She complained to me that some people are "bullying" her by calling her Mafia and voting for me and to some extent that appears to be true. However, she is not different than any other player, playing a serious game with serious players. If she can't handle being called Mafia and voted for, she should not be playing right now. I have seen nothing that is different from how other newbies have been treated. I have seen other new players baited in a very similar manner ("Look at the scum flail").

I WILL be on the lookout for any player, though, who crosses the line. If you need to think of whether or not you're crossing the line, you probably have. If you do cross the line, expect to be force-replaced. I don't think I'm going to modkill anyone over it, but DO NOT make me consider it.

This is basically a warning for everyone to watch themselves and for YamiChan to consider, if she's going to continue to act like she is acting, to consider giving up her spot if she feels she cannot handle the atmosphere in our games.

Seraphim · Post Post #389 (isolation #12) » Mon Jun 27, 2011 7:51 am

I have not confirmed the post restriction.

I have only stated the illegality of creating a quicktopic, as it would qualify as unauthorized out of game communication, even if it was linked here. QT threads not created by the mod are counted as out-of-game. The only exception to this rule would be hydras.

Even if I did count this new public QT as part of the game, all post-restrictions would still apply anyway.

Also:

You wake up in the morning to the sound of screams. Quickly running out of your cubicle, you discover exactly why people were screaming. Dead bodies litter the floor everywhere.

The first seems to be self-inflicted...it doesn't look like one person could handle the immense pressure of the situation. A gun in her hand...a bullet wound in her head...it looks like none other than the office poet, Lady Lambdadelta, her body sprawled, small chunks of her brain littering the wall behind her.

The second body is another female, also shot in the head. This time, there is no obvious gun and a quick look at the wound shows that, in fact, a different gun was used in this situation. A much subtler gun. A further examination reveals the body to be Hoopla's.

The third body has been mutilated with some sort of stabbing device, blood everywhere. It takes a little while but you finally identify the body as Mastermind of Sin's. Who could have possibly done this to him?

It takes a while to do a head count, but you discover not one, but two bodies that had been reduced literally to pieces. It looks like both Toon Fighter and bvoigt have gone the way of the dinosaur. It's a right mess.

Lady Lambdadelta,

Seraphim · Post Post #1075 (isolation #34) » Sun Jul 10, 2011 6:06 am

After yesterday's success, you go to bed a little more happy, a little more...safely. One of the killers had been dispatched, and that brought some relief.

The next day only burgeons those hopes.

The first thing you notice is that ReaperCharlie is strangely missing. It is discovered that he had hung himself in a closet. A close examination reveals his true identity: one of the perpetrators of this mysterious crime. Why did he commit suicide however? Did he know something that the rest of you did not?

The second death is another charred body, this one holding a bloody knife. Hmnmm....interesting. It looks to be the remains of Kublai Khan. Did he snap as well?

ReaperCharlie has been modkilled for abusing his modding powers and deleting his posts in-thread. There's no excuse for breaking this cardinal rule.

[flavor later]

hohum is being modkilled for blatant flaunting of post restriction rules. Further blacklisting may occur as well. As a result, the Day will proceed directly to night. I'm going to talk with my modding staff to see if the remaining time should be banked or not.

Hey kids, don't forget to send those night actions in!

Seraphim · Thu Jul 14, 2011 12:32 pm

Another night, another day chock-full of smoking, dead bodies.

Primate lays in a huddle, his body roasted like a chicken in a microwave, his skin falling off in black flakes. DeityKabuto was found in a closet approximately fifteen minutes later. What he was doing in said closet is anyone's guess but it doesn't take much guesswork to figure out that he had, in fact, been killed.

Box PMs:

Echoes of Fate

You open the box and you peer inside...

As you open the box, a red mist suddenly sprays into your nasal passages! You begin to cough and sputter. As you reach for tissues for your inflamed sinuses, a dull haze settles over your mind. You suddenly become filled with anger. Rage dulls all other thought processes in your mind. Your voice must be heard!

You have gained a new ability:

Raging Voice(Passive)

– Whenever you speak in thread, including votes, you must do so in all capital letters. This ability supersedes the “Voice” passive ability. Failure to comply with this post restriction will result in a warning, followed by a modkill.

Poetic Justice

You open the box and you peer inside...

Inside, a small book of poems rests peacefully. You reach inside the box and pull them out and begin to read. It's quite a collection that ranges across a wide spectrum of literature, but what really pulls you in is the section of haikus. For some strange reason, the traditional Japanese alternating meter just really intrigues you. You decide to start writing your own haikus...in fact, why not make all of your speech in haiku?

You have gained a new ability:

Voice in Haiku(Passive)

– Whenever you speak in thread, you must do so in stanzas of haiku. Haiku are poems in the form of five syllables in the first line, seven syllables in the second line, and five syllables once again in the final line. Votes are not counted in this post restriction. This ability supersedes your “Voice” passive ability. Failure to comply with this post restriction will result in a warning, followed by a modkill.

Look Ma

You open the box and you peer inside...

A green gas suddenly spurts into your nose and mouth. As hard as you try to not breath, you eventually find yourself sucking in large gulps of the tainted air. You feel something moving around in your throat that sits quite firmly inside of it. As you try to speak, you realize something terrible: you are incapable of making vowel sounds!

You have gained a new ability:

Vowel-less Voice(Passive)

– Whenever you speak in thread, you must do so without any vowels whatsoever. 'Y' may still be used so long as it is used as a consonant. Votes are counted in this post restriction. This ability supersedes your “Voice” passive ability. Failure to comply with this post restriction will result in a warning, followed by a modkill.

Echo Echo

You open the box and you peer inside...

You discover what initially appears to be some sort of tracking device. Names and dates descend at a steady rate in a dull, green blur. You slowly pull it out and analyze it carefully. It seems to be of some sort of unknown make, possibly Asian given the symbols lining the side. Suddenly, the screen lights up with a burst of green light that initially blinds you. Suddenly, names you recognize begin to fill up the screen and you begin to realize exactly what it is you have discovered...

You have gained information!
The following people have had the box previous to you:
XXXXXXX
YYYYYYY
ZZZZZZZZ
etc etc etc

Typecast

You open the box and you peer inside...

Inside appear to be several assorted documents, all written out in blocky typewriter text; unfortunately, a large amount of the information present has been blacked out or “redacted”. There seems to be nothing of use that hasn't been removed. A more in-depth analysis proves fruitless, until you reach the third-to-last page, where you discover some critical information...

You have gained information!

You know there are three types of boxes in the game.

Power Boxes

Information Boxes

Mystery Boxes

There are no other types of boxes in the game.

So Lonely

You open the box and you peer inside...

A large heading entitled “RECENT TRANSACTIONS” adorns the front cover of a massive manila folder that you have just uncovered. You slowly lift it out of the box and begin to page through it. Most of the information is, unfortunately, useless, and seems to deal mainly with literal business transactions between companies you've, frankly, never heard of. That is, until you discover a sheet of paper entitled SPARE BOX COMPACITATOR...

You have gained information!

The following people have all taken boxes from the shelf:

XXXXXX
YYYYYY
ZZZZZZZ
etc

etc

Change of Heart

You open the box and you peer inside...

Inside is a single sheet of paper. It appears to be a printed copy of some sort of fax, by a guy you've never heard of before named “Mr. Tracey”. Alright. The letter is mostly an amicable greeting and discussion of terms until you encounter the following phrase: “I'm sure some of them can be bought to certain...other motivations with the proper encouragement. All it would take would be the right items in the right hands, per say.”

You have gained information!

You know now that there are boxes that have the potential to change the alignment of players.

HASTUR HASTUR HASTUR

You open the box and you peer inside...

Inside is a single sheet of paper. It appears to be a printed copy of some sort of fax, by a guy you've never heard of before named “Mr. Asche”. Alright. The letter is mostly the continuation of some conversation for which you have no context until you encounter the following phrase: “It seems like such a shame that none of them can be bought...some of their minds could be useful. Such, I fear, is the nature of the beast.”

You have gained information!

You know now that there are no recruitment mechanics in play in this game.

Knowledge is Power

You open the box and you peer inside...

Inside is a sheaf of papers loosely wrapped with string. They appear to have been mistreated as there is several crinkly corners and what appears to be a coffee ring lining the middle. You gingerly pull it out of its box and begin to read.

You have gained information!

You have received the content of the following article: yyyyy

A Box Box

You open the box and you peer inside...

Inside you discover a few scraps of paper scattered around the bottom of the box. You reach into the box and grab one of the offending scraps and discover that it has a name written on it. A similar investigation reveals similar results: all of the scraps have names on them. But do they mean anything?I mean, the names are only vaguely familiar.

You have gained information!

You know the following people are not players in any way, shape, or form:

Seraphim
xRECKONERx
Vi
Faraday
Meme

Abraham Lincoln Box

You open the box and you peer inside...

Inside is a miniature statue of Abraham Lincoln. You carefully grab it out of its container, wary of any potential traps or silliness that may occur, most notably explosions. Nothing happens. After this relative inaction, you begin to poke and prod the statue, grabbing its plastic exterior and feeling it down for any possible secret switches or buttons or ANYTHING, really. You get nothing. This statue pretty much does nothing.

You have gained information!

You know now that the Abraham Lincoln box, which you just opened, did absolutely nothing!

Gift That Keeps On Giving

You open the box and you peer inside...

Inside is what appears to be a six-shot .357 Colt revolver, glimmering slightly in the pale office light. It appears, at first glance, harmless, or at least as harmless as a gun can possibly be. You put down the now-empty box and examine the hefty firearm. You cock it, uncock it, and open the ammo carrier. There appears to be two bullets left...and there's no way you're going to be able to go and buy more ammo. Best to make the most of what you have.

You have gained a new ability:

Bang Bang(Active)

– At night, you may choose one player to target. Barring any external influences, that targeted player will die. You may use this ability twice over the course of the game. Your kill flavor is “shot in the head”.

Let's See Then

You open the box and you peer inside...

As you open the box, you discover what appears to be some sort of barcode scanner, wrapped in cellophane and complimented by a large manual. You hurriedly unwrap it and discover a power switch on a massive console. The screen flickers to life, but before the company logo can appear, a warning sign flashes bright and red on the screen: “WARNING WARNING BATTERY LOW!” You quickly shut it off and decide to examine the manual to figure out exactly what this “XTRAY-7600 XD” can do.

You have gained a new ability:

Box Scanner(Active)

– At night, you choose one player to target. If that player has a box, you will learn what in contained within that box, barring any external influences. If you are roleblocked or the player targeted has no box, you will receive a “no result” result. You may not use this ability on yourself. You may use this ability once over the course of the game.

Dalek

You open the box and you peer inside...

Inside the box is what appears to be some sort of strange green packet of primordial goo. It almost looks like hair gel, but it is much less viscous. It sloshes around in its plastic bag. You slowly pick the bag up, careful not to puncture it, and some amount of tubing dangling from the bottom, along with a small instruction booklet hanging from the bottom. It reads “RAZAR CORP PRESENTS: Do-It-Yourself-Nanobot-Instant-Health-Kit” in large letters at the front. You set yourself down on the ground and begin to read.

You have gained a new ability:

Nanobot Lazarus(Active)

– At night, you may choose one player to target. That player will be protected from all kills that occur that night, barring any external influences. You may use this ability three times over the course of the game.

Wait for It

You open the box and you peer inside...
You discover two small pills, gel capsules with liquid sloshing about on their insides. At first, you are completely unsure as their exact use until you discover writing on a small slip of paper carefully hidden in the box's inner structure. It reads: “These are sleeping pills. You should know what to do with these. Signed, Mr. Asche.” You frown. Mr. Asche? Who is Mr. Asche, exactly? He certainly doesn't work here. Oh well. You can certainly make use this.

You have gained a new ability:

Sleep Baby Sleep(Active)

– At night, you may choose one player to target. That player will unable to perform any actions that night, barring any external influences. You may use this ability twice over the course of the game.

Can't We Be Friends

You open the box and you peer inside...

Two sets of walkie talkies are present. They look fairly new and rather high tech, looking approximately like cell phones but your technological adeptness allows you to see the difference. For the first part, no apps, or any sort of extra technology except for a call and a receive button. You could see this being possibly useful in the future...

You have gained a new ability:

Friendly Conversation(Active)

– At night, you may choose one player to target. You will be able to converse with that player for the rest of the game at any time through the use of a quicktopic I will create, barring any external circumstances. You may use this ability twice over the course of the game.

Can't We be Friends Success Flavor

You sit, eagerly, hoping that your intended target will pick up the phone. All of a sudden, the walkie-talkie begins to vibrate in your hand. You excitedly bring it up to speak and are met with a quiet “Hello?” on the other hand.

You have been contacted by XXXXXX! You may now speak at any time using the following quicktopic: @$#@#$@#@#$@$#

You have X shots remaining.

Can't We Be Friends Failure Flavor

You sit, eagerly, hoping that your intended target will pick up the phone. However, the night passes, and your ringing meets with no reply. Looks like they didn't get the phone after all.

Your action has failed. You have X shots remaining.

Can't We Be Friends Recipient Flavor

As you lay cramped in your small office cubicle, mulling the events from the previous day and trying to sleep, a sharp vibration near your makeshift “pillow” suddenly jolts you awake. Expecting the worst, you jump away from the pillow. After a few seconds and there is a lack of death, most notably yours, you cautiously approach the vibrating device. As you look closer, you realize it's some sort of cell phone-type device. You pick it up, press the “talk” button, and speak into the receiver.

“Hello?”

XXXXX has contacted you! You may now speak at any time using the following quicktopic: @$#@#$@#@#$@$#

Filmography

You open the box and you peer inside...

Inside you discover what appears to be several guns, large quantities of fake blood, and a fingerprinting set. A large label has been set on the inside of the box, reading 'Fake Murder Kit'. A better description is inside a battered instruction manual: “Want to make it look like your friends committed a murder you yourself did? This kit has it all! A great practical joke! Fool the police long enough for you to leave the country!” Hmmm...this could either be really useful or really damning...good thing it ended up with you.

You have gained a new ability:

Just Gonna Fake It(Active)

– At night, you may choose one player. That player will appear guilty to all investigations performed on him that night, barring any external influences. You may use this ability three times over the course of the game.

Now You See It....

You open the box and you peer inside...

Inside you discover several seemingly unrelated items. A bottle of unmarked fluids. A scrubber. A cleaning cloth. A few pairs of disposable gloves. You open the fluid bottle, sniff it, and smell something strongly of bleach. Hmmm. You could think of several uses for this equipment but only one comes to mind: disposing of bodies.

You have gained a new ability:

Whitewasher(Active)

– At night, whenever you make a kill, you may choose to use this ability in conjunction. Whenever you make a kill, you may hide the alignment and role of the player you have killed. When you are killed, all the hidden players will be revealed. You may use this ability twice over the course of the game. If your kill is blocked, it counts as a lost shot.

Billy Joel

You open the box and you peer inside...

At first, you discover what appears to be a normal, everyday gun-type object. However, the model and make look a little...too slender? Too silver? It looks like no gun you've ever seen before. There is a short note written in an unfamiliar scrawl:

“To whoever finds this: this is one of the triggers for the boxes. Just point and shoot and BOOM! The problem is that it only works on innocents...guess they don't have their own boxes loaded. Good luck.”

You have gained a new ability:

Nooo Dont Shoot(Active)

– At night, you may choose one player to target. Barring any external influences, that targeted player will die. However, this kill will only work on players with the Town alignment.

Full Body Search

You open the box and you peer inside...

What a pleasant surprise! Someone has conveniently left a Razar Corp brand X-Ray Camera Xtreme DX350! Sure, there are only two shots left on it(if that's what the blinking two is supposed to mean), but this could be really helpful to, uh, do things. Like...taking...X-Ray Photos?

You have gained a new ability:

See it Now(Active)

– At night, you may choose one player to target. Barring any external influences, you will learn whether or not that player is in possession of any boxes at the end of the night phases. You may use this ability twice over the course of the game.

Ten Years Time

You open the box and you peer inside...

A strange little digital tablet rests with a bunch of packing peanuts. The screen is rather old-fashioned and green, with brighter green text. It reads:

“ReadY to CoUnt? Y/N?”

You have gained a new ability:

Count Two by Two(Active)

– At night, you may choose to use this ability. Barring any external influences, you will learn the total number of factions present in the game and the total number of players in each of them. You may use this ability once.

Who Da Man

You open the box and you peer inside...

Inside is a copy of Razor Corp Magazine(all the latest in our latest!) with a large garish picture of some cloaked figure with a wet and extended tongue. The headline reads “All the Latest to Detect the Insidious Cultish Individuals In Your Own Life Possibly!” Could this come in handy? It's certainly possible...

You have gained a new ability:

Hood or Not(Active)

– At night, you may choose one player to target. Barring any external influences, you will learn whether or not that player is Cult-aligned. You may use this ability once during the course of the game.

Firetruck

You open the box and you peer inside...

Inside is what appears to be a type-written essay, written in size 12, Times New Roman font. The title of said essay appears to be “Serial Killers: A History of Psychopaths and Tests To See If, In Fact, You Know Any”. The essay is about two or three pages long, not heavy reading at all in fact. Might as well check it out

You have gained a new ability:

FBCIACCC(Active)

– At night, you may choose one player to target. Barring any external influences, you will learn whether or not that player has a Serial Killer alignment. You may use this ability once during the course of the game.

Double Down

You open the box and you peer inside...

Inside is...another box?

Double Double Down

You open the box and you peer inside...

Now this is pretty shady looking. Inside is another box, perfectly black with absolutely no way to easily open it. It is perfectly featureless, with the exception of two rounds holes on the side. One is marked with a moon, the other with a sun. There also appears to be some sort of stylus rolling around in the box somewhere. On the inside of the box is written: “TIME IS NEVER LOST ONLY FORGOTTEN”. Okay...

You have gained new abilities:

Time is Never Lost(Active)

– At any time during the game, you may PM the mod or post the following bolded phrase: “Time is never lost”. The following night phase will be skipped as if it had never happened. You may use this ability twice over the course of the game. Use of this ability will remove the ability “Only Forgotten” from the game.

Only Forgotten(Active)

– At any time during the game, you may PM the mod or post the following bolded phrase: “Only forgotten”. The following day phase will be skipped as if it had never happened. You may use this ability once over the course of the game. Use of this ability will remove the ability “Time is Never Lost” from the game.

Aces High or Low

You open the box and peer inside...

Inside is a small bottle of pills. Actually, pill would be more accurate because there's only one, singular pill inside. The side of the bottle reveals quite handily what exactly it is that you hold in your hand: it appears to be a pill capable of faking death. It severely lowers pulse, blood pressure, and makes it appear that the user is dead. A plan begins to hatch in your mind...if you could get yourself lynched and killed, they would cut you down and get you out of the building! With no one the wiser! You would be betraying everyone but...you would live, right?

You have gained a new ability:

Playing the Fool(Passive)

– At any time during the game, you may choose to have your win condition changed to “Win Condition(Jester): You win when you are lynched.” You may use this ability once over the course of the game. This ability cannot be roleblocked or reversed.

MOD NOTE: Mafia opening this box will receive the “failed box” PM instead, located further down.

Crawling

You open the box and peer inside...

Inside is a gun, pointed up directly at you. You search the rest of th-

BANG

There is a brief flash of pai-

BANG

You have been killed. Processing...

Hammer Tiem

You open the box and peer inside...

You are met with a monstrosity. The complicated array of wires and knobs in front of you does not inspire confidence. You pick it up, noting the absolute lack of any sort of user-friendly components to give you some sort of clue as to what this strange device is. You feel your hopes fading that you'll discover what this is supposed to do. That is, until you pick it up, you discover that someone has in fact left instructions with you. “PRESS THE BLACK BUTTON TO CORRECT MISTAKES.”

That's quite an audacious claim, isn't it?

You have gained a new ability:

Whack-a-Mole(Active)

– At any time, you may use this ability. The next lynch to resolve will not lynch its intended target. Instead, the presumed lynchee's alignment will be revealed and the lynch count will be reset. The deadline will, however, not be reset.

Rawr

You open the box and peer inside...

Inside seems to be...some sort of weapon? A knife, actually. Now here's something you could use. Maybe to pry open some windows? Or perhaps finally get the printer room open? Or maybe...

Suddenly, you have an evil thought. In fact, the knife seems to be speaking it to you in deep melodious tones. “Kill them...kill them all!”

You have gained a new ability:

Hannibal Lector(Passive)

– At any time during the game, you may choose to have your win condition changed to “Win Condition(Serial Killer) – You win when all players are dead besides yourself and nothing can prevent this from happening.” You will also gain a new ability that gives you a kill.You may use this ability once over the course of the game. This ability cannot be roleblocked or reversed.

MOD NOTE: Mafia opening this box will receive the “failed box” PM instead, located further down.

Around the World

You open the box and peer inside...

It looks like a console...almost a gameboy or something similar. Except, on this gameboy there is one button, placed very obviously on the right side. And on the screen, there is only one sentence, flashing over and over...”TEMPORARY BOX CLOSURE INITIATED...PLEASE CONFIRM COURSE Y/N?”

What could this screen device be talking about? Box closure...who initiated in the first place? And who in the world put you change of deciding when this box closure was going to go off?

You have gained a new ability:

Global Panic(Active)

– Any time during the day, you may use this ability. All modular active abilities gained through boxes tonight are blocked. All boxes opened past this point will be blocked from opening until the next day phase. This ability supersedes all other abilities.

Pray at the Cross

You open the box and peer inside...

Inside is a copy of Razor Corp Magazine(all the latest in our latest!) with a large garish picture of some cloaked figure with a wet and extended tongue. The headline reads “All the Latest to Prevent Your Indoctrination By Insidious Cultish Individuals In Your Own Life Possibly!” Could this come in handy? It's certainly possible...

You have gained a new ability:

Tinfoil Hat Theory(Passive)

– You cannot be recruited by the cult. All attempts to recruit you will fail.

failed box

You open the box and peer inside...

There is nothing! You have been hoodwinked! Fooled! Completely and totally! There is nothing in here! What a hack. You throw the box to the ground in disgust.

You have gained no new abilities. This still counts as one of your two boxes.

box blocked

For some strange reason, you cannot open your box!

You pry and squeeze, but it stubbornly refuses to budge. You eventually give up and resolve to try again later...after all, they wouldn't give you a box that can't open. Would they...?

You have somehow been blocked from opening your box! You will open as soon as you are no longer blocked.

So a couple of thoughts.

First of all, let's get the nasty stuff out of the way first. I doubt ReaperCharlie will ever come back to the site to explain what the hell he was doing editing posts, what he edited, or why he thought it was a good idea. Oh well. hohum, on the other hand, will not be allowed in any game of mine again for his blatant disrespecting of the rules and his post restriction. His post restriction wasn't even that bad honestly.
Speaking of post restrictions, that's the last time I use them, or at least stupid ones like the vowel-less one. The haiku was okay and the all-caps one wasn't too bad. My experimentation with Jesters, or at least straight jesters, is at a close as well.

Town MVP probably goes to Junox, the Town-Killing vig came very close to winning the game out of hand for town. It's very obvious that scum should have killed the hydra a long time ago before SpyreX got lynched.

Scum MVP is a tie between Gamma and SpyreX who played fantastic games.

I expected people to not open boxes so quickly and try to jock for position of better boxes. This obviously did not happen. The first few days were nightmares but after about Night 4 or 5, town and scum were practically out of power roles. Boxes were gone within two days. It was quite ludicrous.

I will try my hardest to answer any questions people may have about the setup.

Seraphim · Post Post #1697 (isolation #80) » Sat Sep 24, 2011 6:20 pm

I think the underlying mechanics were interesting but the execution was...less than stellar on my part. I probably should have made more boxes, even if they were empty, in the queue or come up with a different method of distribution because that easily the weakest mechanic in the game.

I also want to give a massive shoutout to my co-mod, kunkstar7, and my back-up mod, xRECKx. Thanks for helping me run this one, guys.
