Some Rules

0

: I am the Mod thy God. My word is final. Don’t question me.

I

: If not specifically stated by your role, you MAY NOT discuss the game anywhere other than the game thread. If I discover that you do, you shall be modkilled with a vengeance. Zappity-zap!

I.5

: You also may not quote moderator-supplied information, real or fake. As the players can’t tell the difference, I’ll just modkill you anyway.

II

: The Almighty ModGod does not fully read each post until later than you may think. As such, any pleas to the ModGod should be bolded for ease of location. Alternatively, you could go through my express communication method and PM me. I’m sure to notice and not give a shit care deeply then.

III

: The ModGod is spiteful and not likely to show mercy upon those who incur his wrath. A modkill is liable to change the gamestate from day to night if the sinner is Town, or not to if the sinner is Mafia. Other punishments can and will result.

IV

: I have reserved the mech and ooc tags for my exclusive purpose. Using these will result in my editing your post to be a lovely shade of hot pink with flowers. In the interest of public information, if I edit your post, I will use the ooc tag, but in my own posts, I’ll stick with mech.

Gameplay

V

: Votes must be either in bold or vote tags and be in the format

Vote: Xalxe

. Deviation from this format is not recommended. Any attempts to fakevote that the ModGod detects will be counted as real.

VI

: Unvoting is not required, but it pleases the ModGod.

VIII

: No Lynch is an acceptable vote. A simple majority of this vote will end the day without a death. Please note that, while the ModGod may tally votes for non-players (Xalxe, mith, The Mafia) for shits and giggles, if you are not voting for a player, you are considered not voting.

IX

: Once a player has reached a majority of votes (50% + 1, rounded) upon their person, they are dead. No unvoting can save them where they’ve gone. Please allow up to 36 hours for the ModGod to figure this out and finish them off good and proper.

X

: Bah posts are permitted, provided they contain no game-relevant information. Failure to comply will result in blacklisting and the ModGod consulting higher authorities.

XI

: Once the majority is reached, the game officially enters the Twilight stage. In this stage, you may post but votes will not be counted. Also, you will sparkle and be the focus of middle-school girls. Sorry ‘bout that.

XII

: Standard MafiaScum rules apply. No secret codes, no invisible text and no editing posts. If you're worried that something you are considering may be in violation of these rules, PM me with a query about your intended action first and i will tell you if it's ok or not.

XIII

: Natural Action Resolution will decide the….resolution of night actions in this game.

Deadlines and Such

XIV

: Deadlines will last X days, where X = (# Players/2) + 7. Deadline extensions may be granted in the event of a late replacement or a really good show.

Should deadline be reached without majority, there will be No Lynch.

XV

: Nights have a deadline of 72 hours. However, if I receive all actions before this, it may end early. Players without an action should send me a “No Action” PM in order to expedite this process.

XVI

: Lurking is bad. If you do not post for 72 hours, you are eligible for a prod upon request. Players have 48 hours to respond to prods, else the ModGod shall replace them speedily. Should a player receive 3 prods, they will be force-replaced.

XVII

: Should my subjects be troubled by such MeatWorld concerns as forbid them from posting for a period > 72 hours, they should indicate so in-thread or via PM to me in order to be spared my wrath.

Other Things

XVIII

: Play to have fun.

XIX

: Play to win.

XX

: There is no Rule 7.

As you enter the Lufthansa lounge, you look around at the others seated there. There seem to be 11 others, making you the last to join the party. A smiling man in a khaki trenchcoat and spiffy fedora bounds over to you. "Welcome, welcome, welcome!" he says cheerfully, wringing your hand. "We were just talking about you!" You smile nervously and murmur greetings. The idea that these people were talking about you behind your back...is vaguely creepy.

The man turns to address the group. "Now, as I'm sure you're aware, you're all here for a tour of our wonderful country," he says. His face takes on a grim frown as he continues. "However, the planned tour guide was...taken ill rather suddenly and fatally just this morning." Gasps are heard as the others figure out that the word "fatally" means "he or she has perished, most likely in an unpleasant yet distinctly Germanic manner." The man continues, in an effort to quell the whispers, saying "Now don't you worry, she's fine.* Today, I'll be taking you around this beautiful city of Munich. Follow me!" The group files after this enigmatic figure, who failed to put in the bit when he introduced himself. That's what he gets for making flavor scene up on the spot.

ITT the mod messes up within 3 days of game start.

The first votecount is inaccurate; there are only 12 votes in play. This is not a bastard secret doublevoter game. Thanks to the player who spotted my goof.

And now, if you look to your left, you'll see the lovely hotel Le Meridien Munich, where you'll be staying this week. The pool is most wonderful after a long day of walking!

I would also ask that players avoid the "slippery slope" that is ongoing games. Let's all be civil here.

[Xalxe]

@Xalxe, Not trying to be demanding or anything, but would you mind terribly adding a "X needed to lynch" to your post counts? I would LOVE that <3

The moderator is a first-timer. Thusly, he is also an idiot. I will do so; it is currently 7 to lynch.

[Xalxe]

Mod, can I have a vote allocated to me in the votecount? Please and thankyou.

No. And by "No," I mean "here's a votecount that I've tried my darndest not to royally screw up."

Up ahead, you'll see the beautiful Karlstor. Once, Munich was a walled city, and this gateway was one of only four ways to get into the city. Now it just looks pretty, ja?

[Xalxe]

Oh, and

@Mod, when is our deadline? It says August 13 right now...

JonWJ007 and NihilisticNinja are being prodded.

[Xalxe]

JonWJ007 has requested replacement. Searching now.

[Xalxe]

Hmm. That's odd. We appear to have lost JonWJ007 somewhere in the back alleyways here. Ah well, the paperwork'll be a bitch, but I'll live.

[Xalxe]

@Mod, what is your rule on lynches@deadline? If we hit the deadline with no majority, is it a No Lynch, or is it a lynch of the most voted for player?

Not saying I want the game deadlined, that would suck. I just want to know just in case

If you all can't agree on a lynch, I certainly don't have the authority to do so. Thusly, No Lynch happens. I'll go add that to the ruleset now.

Oh, and where the hell is Mr. Trow? He's lurking more than Auckmind, and done nothing to advance whatever slot he's been in. I also think it might be over 72 hours since he posted,

@Mod Could we maybe have a prod for Mr. Trow?

Mr. Trow, what do you think of everyone who has votes on them? A short 3 sentence response to each, and whether you think the votes are justified and/or are right would be greatly appreciated.

A Lynch has been reached!

"Ja, and over there you’ll see the world famous Glockenspiel. This mechanical clock has been around since…well, it’s really really old, mmkay? And it’s still in working order, isn’t that amazing?"

At this point in the day, only a couple of you are listening to this idiot talk. The rest of you have wandered off around the Marienplatz, ostensibly to “take in the sights.”

As Xalxe continues to ramble on, a group of you meets up underneath the Glockenspiel, and soon disappears from sight.

Suddenly, Xalxe notices the pointing and whispering from the crowd around him. “What on Earth is so interesting about—“ he begins as he looks up. Suddenly he is taking in a shocking sight.

Tonight’s gonna be interesting…

The chiming of the church bells awakens you. Hey, Bavaria is Catholicland, didn’t you know?

At any rate, after a quick shower (thanks, the bloodstains were NOT attractive), you head down to the lobby to meet up with the rest of the group. Xalxe is finishing up a count as you arrive.

“Sechs, sieben, acht, neun, zehn…uh-oh. One of you is still in his room.” Hopefully.

Worried, you all dash upstairs to their room. Xalxe opens the door, and you are all greeted by a shocking sight.



No dead body?

Just then, the missing tourist walks in. “Hey guys. The Hauptbahnhof across the way has awesome croissants!”

Nobody died Night 1. It is now Day 2.

Is Auckmind away until this COMING saturday? Because I thought he was only away until saturday as in two days ago.

If that's the case, we're down two voices for pretty much the whole time. They'd better have a lot to freaking say when they get back.

"Okay guys," Xalxe says as he strolls back into the room. "I decided this has gone on long enough. I called the tour company about the little "incident" yesterday at the Glockenspiel. They've agreed that international incidents cause way too much paperwork, so they've--OH MY GOD WHAT DID YOU DO!"

Moron finally notice the dead chick hanging from the ceiling.



"You...you hacked her lower body off too? What the hell did you do with it?" Xalxe splutters.

Maruchan gestures toward the bathroom. "It's in the bathtub full of ice. We figured we could sell the organs."

Xalxe just looks at you all in utter disbelief. "You...you...what the fuck kind of tour is this!" he exclaims. "Fine, whatever, go to your damn rooms and TRY not to kill anybody else tonight, mmkay?"

"No promises," somebody mutters as you all exit the room.

Night will last for 72 hours following this post. ((expired on 2011-09-13 22:24:16))

j/k I can't end night until we get a replacement. Tell your friends!

[Xalxe]

The lovely and talented

Mist7676

has replaced Auckmid; the countdown stands as written above.

[Xalxe]

You awaken in your nice, safe hotel rooms, each having slept very peacefully. You've never...had a more...restful...BWAHAHAHA!!!

Sorry, I couldn't keep a straight face. Yeah, like you REALLY slept. Honestly. Nevertheless, you head down to the lobby, grab a drink at the bar, and meet up with the rest of the group.

Actually, you're missing about three. Xalxe looks really freaked now.

"How could there be three missing? There's only one scumteam...I think..." Xalxe mutters to himself. He looks awful, his hair's a mess, his clothes are disheveled, and he has bloodstains all down his left pant leg.

"Er, what up with the blood?" you ask him. All of you. At once.

"Huh?" Xalxe replies, looking down. "Oh, that. That's...nothing, that's nothing really. Look, we gotta go wake up the other three. Stay here. No, wait, somebody else might die. Follow me. No, wait, then you might kill me. Dammit! No, follow me, I'll take the risk, corporate's gonna kill me anyway." You all traipse upstairs.

Have you ever stopped to consider how incredibly useful replacements are? No? Well, I have. To me, replacements are like a godsend. Town, Scum, whatever, replacements help to keep a game going and can sometimes provide a fresh perspective that can really revitalize a game. Honestly, a good replacement is like gold dust. So next time someone replaces in overnight, don't kill them, mmkay?

What? No, Mist didn't die. That would be silly. What would make you think that? God, you people...



(I totally did not shop that in a rush. This flavor was totally preplanned. I would also remind you that flavor is just flavor.)

As you can tell, we are on a bus.

What, did you miss that part? Yeah, that happened while...you weren't looking. Shut up. Yes, I put you on a bus.

Anyway, we're currently headed to Neuschwanstein Castle, built by Mad King Ludwig as a tribute to Wagner's work. It was never finished due to a suspicious death. Wait, why did I think this was a good idea again?

Right, I needed more flavor.

Also, I'm prodding mothrax and replacing Supreme Overlord.

[Xalxe]

Also, Mod, if Supreme Overlord is being replaced, will we be getting a deadline extension? So that whomever replaces in has time to catchup? You should probably make Mist replace into that one. So she can immediately vote Tragedy if Tragedy's role PM was a scummy one.

Maybe, it depends on who and when it happens.

Also, Mist will NOT be replacing back in. Ever.

Here we are at Neuschwanstein. Glad you survived the hike up the hill.

Ludwig was a weird guy. Like, certifiably insane. Yeah. One unique feature of this castle is that the main builders were immortalized in stone...as ugly gargoyles. Ludwig was a jerk.

It was a warm day in Germany when the intrepid party of criminal tourists ventured down from Ludwig's castle. Xalxe was just pleased that nobody had died. In fact, he was so happy that he went to go buy beer for everyone to drink on the way back to Munich.

When he returned however, he was not a happy individual any longer.

7 am wakin' up in the morning,

BANG!

Rebecca Black,

, Killed Night 3

You hate mornings. Like, really, really hate mornings. You hate a lot of things actually. That's part of the reason why you came on this trip in the first place.

Wait, are we getting plot exposition? Finally!

Matthew, get the hell off the computer, you are not the mod!

Anyway. You hate lots of things, especially mornings. Did I mention your particular hatred of the time following dawn? Yeah. Anyway, you've hated mornings that much more since this

Gottverdammt

trip. They were bad enough, but now you're wondering if you'll even wake up, or which one of your friends will be dead in the morning! Personally, you're sick of it. You just wish the Mafia would just kill you all. What's with this "one a night" bullshit anyway? Like, seriously.

So, yeah. You slither out of bed, crawl into the shower, stand up and get yourself clean. Those bloodstains have ruined all your favorite shirts, so you decide to forgo one entirely today. This is Europe; they won't mind, right?

You trudge to the elevator, where the 24-hour soundtrack by a french composer is playing. From the sound of it, you're in a bustling Bangladesh marketplace. at six in the morning.* Awesome.

You..slog?...I dunno, anyway, you walk into the breakfast buffet and slouch down at the table with the other members of your "party." If this were a video game, anyway. But if this was a video game, the dead people you helped kill would have extra lives.

WOULD YOU GET ON WITH IT!!!

Get off the computer, dammit! How did you even get here, you're 2 hours away from campus?!?

The magic of fiction. I wanna write!!!

No. Leave!

Where the hell was I? Right, breakfast. You sit down, grab a Brotchen (that O should have umlauts, but I don't know how to do that and I'm lazy) and tear into it. Just then you realize that there's all 8 of you are there. And the others seem to have forgone shirts as well. Even the girls.

*

SLAP

*

Yeah, I deserved that.

"Where's RoboThor?" somebody asks.

You give him a funny look. "I'm right here!" you say...or at least, you try to...but nothing comes out. Odd.

You try again. Nothing. You start to freak out.

Nobody notices.

Everything gets really bright, like somebody was Photoshopping the scene and turned the exposure up WAY too high and accidentally saved it so everything is all white.

You hear a heavenly choir. You see the light. You move towards it.

RoboThor,

Vanilla Townie

, Killed Night 3.

*This is a real thing: Le Meridien Munich makes a big deal out of the fact that they paid a famous French dude to make a 24-hour soundtrack for the hotel. In any given hour, you could hear crickets in the woods, a crowd of people and the sound of whale song. I can't make this shit up. Well, actually I can, but if you call me out on it I'll modkill you.**

**What? It's under rule XXX. Look it up.

[Xalxe]

A votecount would go here, if any votes were in play.

[Xalxe]

@ Mod: When is deadline?

I will set it from this post. So, (7/2) + 7=3.5 +7=10.5 days from this post (Oct 14, 4:54 AM EST)

Also, there are still no votes out yet.

ALSO also I'm going to massprod. Nobody's getting penalized, it's just a "Wake Up and Play, Dammit!" mechanism.

[Xalxe]

Massprods don't have to be quite that mass, ya know. I posted two hours ago.

Quiet you, massprod means you ALL get the pointy end.

Nobody is in prod range.

Xalxe sank onto the lush hotel bed, provided by Le Meridien Munich with a comfortable Serta memory foam mattress. He sighed and placed his head in his hands, nicely displaying his Timex watch.

What am I going to do?

he thought.

Five people dead! That's not normal...is it?

He raced to the desk from Ikea and opened up his MacBook Pro (13", available at a new low price!). He opened up Mozilla Firefox, his browser of choice, and used Bing to search for "five dead on tour." Sadly, none of the tour guides featured in the CNN stories that came up had happy endings.

Sighing, he closed the MacBook Pro and leaned back in his chair. I don't know where the hotel got the chair, but I'm sure it was a very nice chair.

What am I to do?

he thought hopelessly.

Just then, his iPhone 4 rang.

[Xalxe]

Previously, on “Clusterf**k of a Germany Trip…”

Xalxe’s iPhone 4 rang.

Present day…time…whatever.

Xalxe

answered his phone. “Hello? Who is this? I don’t even have international calling, so how—“

“Silence, fool” a deep voice commanded. “Your words are futile.”

“What—wha—who are you?!?” Xalxe spluttered. Spluttered, lol, that’s such a funny word. Right, on topic.

The voice on the other end of the line chuckled. “My name matters not. In fact, I have none. I am but an agent of the true power.”

“Wait a second,” said Xalxe. A thought had dawned on him. “Is this just a setup for a running theme throughout all the Mafia games I modera—“

“SILENCE FOOL!” the voice bellowed. Xalxe winced and turned the volume down. “My agent has already entered the room where you confined your murderous charges. Perhaps you’d like to take a look outside your window?”

Slowly Xalxe stood up from the bed and walked to the window. He apprehensively drew back the curtains and recoiled in horror.

MrTrow

was dangling outside his window, hanged by the neck.

“How could you do this?” Xalxe asked the phone. Actually, he asked the man on the other end of the phone. ACTUALLY actually, he started to ask this question but stopped as three more bodies were slowly lowered to dangle outside his window like limp ragdolls. Or corpses hanged by the neck until dead. Because that’s what they were, after all.

Where the hell was I going with this again? Oh, right, that.

Xalxe’s face grew hard as he stared into the eyes of

Amrun, Quilford

and

Tragedy

. “You monster,” he rasped. “You’ll pay for this.”

“No, I don’t think I will,” the man chuckled. “Don’t worry, you won’t have to live with the guilt much longer. Goodbye.”

Xalxe was left standing in front of the window, alone but for the four dead corpses (I hate that prase; no such thing as a live corpse after all!). He heard the keycard being swiped in his door. Slowly, he turned around to face them.

One by one they filed in. His nightmares.

Cephrir

.

Hoppster

.

thunderwielder

. They were all here. Behind them stepped a man clad in a khaki trenchcoat and smartly matching fedora.

Xalxe couldn’t see the man’s face, but he was certain the man was smirking as he stepped into the room. He was certain he chuckled softly as he pulled the knife from his belt.

He couldn’t be certain, but he was almost positive the man in the trenchcoat grinned as he slipped the knife between his ribs.

Moderator Notes

Scum had this very, very well. If they post their scum QT, you’ll see they were very organized and willing to take risks. Only thing that I have to criticize is that Day 4 you guys started to bus each other when you didn’t really need to yet. I was almost expecting you to manage to turn the lynch on one of your own by accident when you had the game in your hands.

I hated the number of replacements I had to find for this; it seemed excessive (to me) for an open. Some in particular just made me sad (looking at you kondi & Mist). Saulres kept sending me his thoughts throughout, which made me lol sometimes.

I would ask that you guys take this survey that I made. It’ll anonymously let me know how I did.

One other thing: there are these things called Scummies, which are awards for great play. If you think anyone in this game deserves one, head over to the thread that I’ve linked and nominate someone (preferable with explaination of why; it makes the judges happy)

[Xalxe]

I actually broke the ongoing games rule by asking Xalxe if he were scum way back in Day 1

When? Where? I don't remember this...

[Xalxe]

As to your GMing, Xalxe, this pretty well sums up my feelings.

You too kind

[Xalxe]

I do, and I meant to work that in more, but I failed epically.

[Xalxe]

I stayed the second-most-scummy player all game.I have a talent for staying alive.

Mafia generally don't kill scummy players, so...congrats, I guess.

[Xalxe]

Meh. Details.

You're lucky I remember who you all are

[Xalxe]

DARN IT ROBO

You are the only one I know who doesn't put two x's in my name!!!

(also, thanks; you make me blush)

[Xalxe]

Oh. Well, if it was because of Valve, all is forgiven.

[Xalxe]

What do you mean? I don't recall saying that about Mist...

[Xalxe]

Oh. No, I don't think so. I think I was just feeling quirky...I dunno.

Also, re: extending night, I do/did/will do that regardless of alignment. It keeps as much mod-wifom out of the game as possible (and maybe makes you people recruit your friends--bonus!).

[Xalxe]

Oh hell, I just realized I dun goofed on flavor. TO THE REWRITES!

(hint: Read opening flavor, then read endgame flavor)
