[Mr. Flay]

Of course, this would all be a lot easier if you weren't sure that some of you haddunnit. Two of you, in fact, though you're not sure who else is what. Here's the possibilities:

Roles:

2 people are

Scum:

You are

Scum

, along with your partner _________. Your goal is to eliminate the pro-town players so that only you remain; you win if this happens. You may talk with your partner at Night, and send me a choice via PM of who you wish to kill. During the Day, try to blend in with the rest of the players, and get someone lynched (if that someone is not your partner or yourself, that will make things much easier).

Either 1 person, or nobody, is a

Doctor:

You are the

Doctor

, and you can protect people from harm. Each Night, you may send me a choice via PM of who to protect; if they come under attack by the scum, they will live. You win if the scum are eliminated, so choose wisely at Night, and try to lynch correct during the Day.

Either 1 person, or nobody, is a

Cop:

You are the

Cop

, and you can tell good from bad. Each Night, you may send a player's name to me; I will let you know if your investigation shows that they are Scum or Town. You win if the scum are eliminated, so choose wisely at Night, and lynch well during the Day.

The rest of you (3, 4, or 5, for those keeping count) are

Townies:

You are a

Townie

, and you've got no special powers at Night. No investigations, no protection, no gun to shoot people. But, you do have a vote, which is quite powerful (though no more powerful than anyone else's vote). Help lynch scum during the Day, and you will win the game, along with the rest of the Town.

This is commonly known as the

C9

setup, for reasons mostly known to Norinel.

Even though most games start with Night, newbie games begin with Day once everyone has confirmed that they understand their role. Scum are allowed to talk by PM in the pregame, but no other "night actions" may be taken.

Rules:

• Votes should be in bold for them to count, like this:
  Vote: Lennie
  . Unvotes should likewise be bolded (
  Unvote: Bruce
  ) so that I can spot them easier.
• A simple majority of votes (1/2 the number of living players plus one, rounded down) will achieve a lynch and end the Day. Unvoting after that point will not save someone's life. If a deadline is imposed, the required number of votes will be lowered, so be careful.
• Nights will last up to 72 hours, but may be shorter if all night choices are in before the deadline.
• Dead men tell no tales. If you get killed, stop talking until the game is over (a single "Bah!' post with no game information is acceptable).
• Do not discuss this game with other players outside of this thread, unless your role PM specifically stated you could do so (as scum, and then only at night).
• Do not directly quote any PMs you receive from me; I have already posted the roles above, but this holds true for any future messages you receive from me as well.
• Do not edit/delete game posts, even if you have the privileges to do so. It is unethical and can mess up the game thread. I will take care of any automatic double-postings by the forum itself.
• If you see something you don't understand,
  ASK!
  Newbie games are here for people to learn and understand; either I or one of the other players will respond to your question. If it has to do with your role, feel free to PM me directly.
• Treat this game as a commitment; if you're going to be gone for longer than 48 hours (not counting weekends),
  let us know
  . I will replace severely inactive players, but they may choose to lynch you themselves first.
• Have fun; don't be an ass;
  participate
  !

[Dr. Doom]

Confirmed!

[M4yhem]

I'm here.

[ac1983fan]

confirm twice (once by pm, and now by post)

[blahgo]

/confirm

[VulcanRaven]

Confirm!

[riktus]

confirm - only one to go

[Hemisphere Dancer]

Confirm!

[Mr. Flay]

It is now Day One; with seven alive, it will take four votes to cause a lynch.

Game on!

[riktus]

random.org says random

vote: blahgo

hello everone!

[blahgo]

random.org says

vote: VulcanRaven

[Dr. Doom]

Hm... - Im not sure who to vote on - Of course

I[/I] know that

I

am innocent...

(I will probably not able to post or look at this thread from Friday morning to Sunday evening (GMT) - sorry about that)

[Dr. Doom]

Edit by post:
Hm... - Im not sure who to vote on - Of course

I

know that

I

am innocent...

Oh, and Hello Everyone!

[VulcanRaven]

My vote goes to

Dr Doom

. Truly innocent people don't feel the need to point it out without prompting.

[M4yhem]

Fos: Dr. Doom

because the last time I saw someone start the day without a random vote, they were scum.

But now is not the time for proper case-building, now is the time for random votes.

So

Vote:Riktus

because he's dangerous.

Oh yeah, and hi everyone!

[Dr. Doom]

Vote: Vulcanraven

because he voted for me (and I dont have anything else...)

[ac1983fan]

soo... Dr.Doom, why the emphasis on you being town? that's very scummy, you know. Very scummy. Scummy enough to cause a

vote:Dr.Doom

from me.

[Dr. Doom]

If Hemisphere Dancer (who has not said anything yet besides confirmation) also votes for me, it stands to reason that the two summies just waited until some poor sucker got two votes (and made himself suspicious through other means) and then just bandwagon him to be burned at the stake...

therefore:

unvote: Vulcanraven

and

Vote: Hemisphere Dancer

[riktus]

Dr. Doom, not sure if you realised, but you are only on 2 votes at the moment: M4yhem has put an FOS (finger of suspicion) on you but not a vote. I'm going to do the same

FOS: Dr. Doom

- for over emphasis of your innocence.

So

Vote:Riktus

because he's dangerous.

You knows it

[Dr. Doom]

Dr. Doom, not sure if you realised, but you are only on 2 votes at the moment: M4yhem has put an FOS (finger of suspicion) on you but not a vote. I'm going to do the same

FOS: Dr. Doom

- for over emphasis of your innocence.

Oh... hehehe...

[blahgo]

I'm going to go ahead and vote Dr. Doom for reasons that have already been stated, to me overstating your "inocence" is a class A scumtell.

unvote, vote:Dr. Doom

[Mr. Flay]

First Vote Count of Day One:

Dr. Doom - 3 (VulcanRaven, ac1983fan, blahgo)

blahgo - 1 (riktus)
riktus - 1 (M4yhem)
Hemisphere Dancer - 1 (Dr. Doom)

Not voting - Hemisphere Dancer

With seven alive, it will take four votes to lynch someone.

[riktus]

Wowsers, steady on there - although dropping a hammer vote with this little to go on would be unbelievably suspicious, putting someone 1 from lynch based on almost nothing is also not a good thing. I certainly wouldn't be happy risking doom being lynched now, so

un

(random)

vote: blahgo

and actually properly seriously

vote: blahgo

for that.

[blahgo]

Sorry guys, when I play with my family at gettogethers we usually quicklynch someone who puts ephesense on thier "innocence" without being asked to. I'll remove my vote if you guys ask me to but, until then my vote stands.
