Rules (blatantly stolen from mith):
  • This is a game. Have fun. Don't let things get personal.
  • During Day, you may vote for the player you want to lynch. Votes should be in the form
    Vote: Player
    or they may not be counted. It is helpful to "
    Unvote
    " when switching your vote to a different player, though this is not required.
  • Whenever a player has a majority in votes, that player will be lynched, his or her role will be revealed, and Night will begin. Once a player has reached a majority, no votes or unvotes will be registered. You may also
    Vote: No Lynch
    ; a majority will end Day without a death.
  • If discussion lags or Day goes on for too long, a deadline may be set. If no one has reached a majority at the deadline, no one will be lynched.
  • During Night, players with role abilities may send targets for those abilities. Choices are due by the posted deadline.
  • Don't edit/delete posts. Use the "Preview" button to look over your post before you submit it.
  • Don't quote any PMs from the Moderator.
  • Mafia are allowed to communicate by PM during the Night phase only. Otherwise, do not talk to anyone about this game outside the thread.
  • If you're dead, you're dead. Do not talk until the game is over; this includes talking to living players outside the thread.
  • If you have any question, complaint, or comment, PM the Moderator.
Setup:

This game uses the F11 setup. One setup will be selected at random from the following:
Role PMs (Blatantly stolen from Mr. Flay, items in {braces} may or may not be in the role PM)

Mafia Roleblocker PM wrote:You are a Mafia Roleblocker, along with your partner _________ (who is simply a Goon). Your goal is to eliminate the pro-town players so that only your side remains; you win if this happens. During the Day, try to blend in with the rest of the players, and get someone lynched.

You may talk with your partner at Night, and send me a choice via PM of who you would like to kill/roleblock (your team can do both if both of you live; if only you survive, you must choose one action or the other).

Note: You may talk with your partner privately during confirmations to plan strategy, but no night actions will take place until Night One.
Mafia Goon PM wrote:You are a Mafia Goon, along with your partner _________ (who is a {pro-Mafia Roleblocker}{mafia goon}). Your goal is to eliminate the pro-town players so that only your side remains; you win if this happens. During the Day, try to blend in with the rest of the players, and get someone lynched.

You may talk with your partner at Night, and send me a choice via PM of who you would like to kill {(if your partner also lives, they can send in a separate choice to roleblock someone)}.

Note: You may talk with your partner privately during confirmations to plan strategy, but no night actions will take place until Night One.
Doctor PM wrote: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 Mafia, they will live. You win if the scum are eliminated, so choose wisely at Night, and try to lynch correctly during the Day.

Note: Doctors are 100% effective in Newbie Games (the person you protect will never die on the night they are protected, unless you are roleblocked). You may not protect yourself.
Cop PM wrote: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 Mafia or Town. You win if the scum are eliminated, so choose wisely at Night, and lynch well during the Day.

Note: Cops always get a correct result in Newbie Games (no sanity issues), unless you are roleblocked. You cannot investigate yourself
Townie PM wrote:You are a Townie, and you've got no special powers at Night. No investigations, no protection, no gun to shoot people. Your only powers are the ability to post, vote, and think. Help lynch Mafia during the Day, and you will win the game, along with the rest of the Town.

As the sun rises on another beautiful day in this typical small town, all is not well. Some member's of the mafia have moved into the town intent on taking over, it's your job to find the mafia and meter out some old-fashioned justice. Will the small town be alright? The power is in your hands!


It is now Day 1, with 9 alive it takes 5 to lynch.

Good morning, everyone. Enjoy your morning, scum, because you may not see too many more.

Have we played on IRC, Gurgi? You may want to doublevote me, because I also don't have a signature!

Indeed we have, I'm curious why you didn't random vote.

Didn't see much of a point. Nobody's any more likely to be scum until we start digging for dirt. Is it customary to random vote in your first post in the forums?

See the wiki article on random voting here. You're free to make your own opinions, but most players will random vote on the first day to spark reactions and initiate discussion.

Well, in that case, I will randomly choose the most evil-sounding name, IMO, of the people who haven't yet spoken.

Vote: Malyss


And I'll shut up for a bit and let them all come in and say hi.

vote Vir4030


Reactions to a second vote seem potentially a lot more interesting than another random 1-vote.

Maybe it's because I'm the target, but this seems scummy to me. There were two other people who had 1-votes on them who hadn't posted yet. If Alurin was looking for reactions to a second vote, they would have been better choices.

I'm not sure what to make of calling himself scum. I don't see why town would ever want to do that.

Well, it's still the random stage, so I'm not so sure I'd jump to any conclusions about things being scummy at this stage in the game. And I'm not so sure I agree with you there. A townie wanting to start discussion would put a 2nd vote on an active player, one who would be likely to respond. I kind of feel like putting a 2nd vote on an inactive player would be a much easier scum move. That is, if this weren't in the random phase. And since it is, I don't really think it means much.

I mean, you seem to be a little overly defensive here, but I think I'd prefer to chalk that up as in line with your initial reluctance to random vote in the beginning and not as a scumtell.

Or you can chalk it up to my first forum game. There's no "Random Stage" on IRC.

Yep. That works too. I wasn't going to straight up assume it was your first forum game. Either way, not scummy IMO, on either count.

I have to agree with Orange here, it's not scummy to place the second vote on a player. Though we could do with some more activity. You all confirmed where are you?
