Newbie 478: (Game Over)

[bird1111]

Alive, bold unconfirmed:
joost
SensFan, SuperMarioSunshine, replacing toolenduso
TheHermit, replacing zackbeard, replacing booboodafool
OpposedForce
Aman
IH
HackerHuck

Dead:
No One

Status: Game Over, see page 7 for details

Rules:
0. This is a game. Have fun. Don’t let things get personal.
1. The game will start with a Day Start once all confirms are in.
2. During Day, you may vote for one player at a time. Votes must be bold or they will not be counted. Unvoting is optional.
3. Whenever a player has more than half of the people alive voting for him/her, that player will be lynched, and his or her role will be revealed, and Night will begin.
4. If discussion lags or Day goes on for too long, a deadline may be set, most likely a retractable deadline, but if I feel it is necessary it will be non-retractable. At deadline, there will always be a no lynch.
5. Do not talk outside the thread unless your role allows it.
6. If you’re dead, you get one ‘bah’ post with no game-related content.
7. If you have any question, complaint, or comment, PM me.
8. Confirm by PM.
9. Feel free to correct me if I make a mistake, but be nice about it.
10. I will try my best to get a vote count near or at the top of every page or at least every few days.
11. If you do not post for 72 hours or if a player requests I do so, I will prod you by PM, and then if you still do not post, you may be replaced or prodded again. Absences that are posted in thread, noted in your sig and/or posted in VLA are exceptions to this rule, though if I feel it is necessary, I might temporarily replace you.
12. Red is the offical mod color, no one but me may post in it, and if someone other than me edits it, the red will be edited out and they will be warned.
13. The setup and roles were 100% randomized.
14. I reserve the right to edit these rules as I see fit.

This game will have one of the following setups:
2 Mafia
3 Townies
1 Cop
1 Doc

2 Mafia
4 Townies
1 Cop

2 Mafia
4 Townies
1 Doc

2 Mafia
5 Townies

Roles:
Two people recieved:
You are Mafia with (XXX), each night you may disscuss the game, and also send me the name of a player. That player will die. You may disscuss during the confirmation stage. You win when the number of mafia is the same as the number of pro-town people.

Three to five people recieved:
You are a Townie, you have nothing but your vote so put it to good use. You win when all Mafia are dead.

Zero or one person recieved:
You are a Cop, each night you may send me the name of a player. I will tell you whether or not that player is innocent. You win when all the Mafia are dead.

Zero or one person recived:
You are a Doc, each night you may send me the name of a player. If the Mafia try to kill that player, they will survive instead. You win when all the Mafia are dead.

All roles are out, confirm by PM by Saturday September 29th@3:09 PM

[bird1111]

Everyone but toolenduso has confirmed, and he is being replaced by SuperMarioSunshine, so Day 1 can begin.

Day 1 begins, with 7 alive it is 4 to lynch.

STUFF FOR DAY 1:

(ie now)

Most games usually start off with random votes, and lynch minus two (two votes from lynch) is usually where the line is drawn for the first few pages. Why? Well, if you put someone at two votes, and the mafia want to speedlynch, they have to give away both of their members.

Lynch Minus (-)1 (one from lynch), is alot more dangerous, as it allows scum to speedlynch, but when we lynch one of those, we only have one lynched scum, while the other hides on day 3, and presumably cruises to an easy win.

Any questions about the game (rules, pms, whether it's ok to post or not) should probably be sent to the mod.

Questions about rules or votecounts can be posted here. Questions about your role should be PM'ed to me

Any other questions can be answered by the local IC's.

Also, NO ONE TELL US YOUR ROLE, or what's in your pm.

STUFF FOR DAY 2:

First off, Lylo is lynch or lose. If mafia can win if you lynch wrong.

In this game, mislynching a townie will make you go into lylo, and scum can speedlynch if you place a vote. So if we lynch wrong today, DON'T PLACE A VOTE TOMORROW UNTIL YOU'RE SURE!

(just trying to compile all of the normal newbie stuff into one post, to try and "enrich" the game for later, and HOPEFULLY avoid an early deadline.)

Why not?

[OpposedForce]

Mod:Is there a current deadline?

There is not. If I do place a deadline, I will make it clear.

[HackerHuck]

Deadlines are not typically placed unless we've had a significant lull in the discussion or if we've spent a number of weeks and pages on the same game day.

Games can go into a lull at times, but I'm a little surprised that we're so slow right off the bat.

As a supplement to IH's advice, I strongly discourage a lynch before we hit four pages (75+ posts).

[OpposedForce]

Okay thanks Bird and HackerHuck for pointing out the deadline situation. Not alot to say with everybody being inactive from the thread...

[Aman]

I am still here

[SuperMarioSunshine]

so am i. I've got nothing to say...

[OpposedForce]

Well really having nothing to say isn't going to move this game thread along(Yes I know I am a hypocrite) Lack of discussion is going to leave us in the random stage for a long time unless discussion picks up. How about we discuss strategies for Day 1 to keep this game moving,eh?

[HackerHuck]

Unofficial Vote Count:

IH: 2 (OpposedForce, HackerHuck)
booboodafool: 1 (SuperMarioSunshine)
Aman: 1 (joost)
HackerHuck: 1 (Aman)
SuperMarioSunshine: 1 (IH)
joost: 1 (booboodafool)

Anyone care to join me on the IH wagon?

[booboodafool]

Almost seems like a trap

[SuperMarioSunshine]

thats because it *coughcoughcoughiscoughcoughcough* one.

[bird1111]

joost and IH prodded

[booboodafool]

I should vote hacker for trying to take advantage of me

[OpposedForce]

I should vote hacker for trying to take advantage of me

Well actually it's a common play to root out scum in games. I don't think he was trying to make that play for your disadvantage it's to root out scum. For example Person 1 has two votes on him and is -2 lynch away. So some scum would want to put that person at -1 lynch so its easier for his scumbuddy to jump on and quicklynch Person 1 thus lynching a townie. So a common play is to see who would jump onto a bandwagon for -1 lynch and find that the person who jumped on for the -1 lynch is most likely scum. In some cases it could be a newbie mistake but it's unlikely to be a mistake.

I agree with this.

Now think about his request, and what he was trying to find out.
