Mini 708: Cheat Mafia!


Moderator: iLord

Back-Up Moderator: Lawrencelot


You are one of twelve students taking the hardest test of your life. To make matters worse, there are classmates among you that want to get you expelled! You have to get these traitors expelled first! And to accomplish this, you will need to excel in the test, to win the teacher’s favor. But how will you accomplish this – you barely know the answer to any of the questions!

Well, I guess you’ll have to cheat…


This is Cheat Mafia: The First Test. All twelve players will be given a test. As they mark questions correctly, they may recieve new powers. To get correct answers, you will have to cheat off of other players, while at the same time guarding your answers from the other players. Mutual trading of answers is also allowed, and out of thread communication is allowed at all time.

Standard Rules



[01] This is a game, so while you can have fun, be considerate of me and the other players.

[02] This is a commitment, so keep track of this game. You must post at least once every 48 hours, or be prodded. Then you will have another 48 hours to respond. If you are prodded three times, then you are replaced. However, real life is still more important than this. If something comes up that will make this not possible, PM me. Don’t be afraid to ask for a replacement if playing in this game would not be possible due to unforeseen developments.

[03] Votes are formatted
Vote: iLord
. A majority of votes will be needed to lynch. You can vote No Lynch, and you must
Unvote
before you vote. Once a player has received a majority of votes, he is lynched – unvoting will do nothing.

[04] There are no standard deadlines, but I will setup deadlines if activity declines. At a deadline, if no majority is reached, then the Day ends with a No Lynch. Nights will have a standard deadline of three days, but may be extended if needed.

[05] No quoting any PM’s except for your role name. You may not use
MOD TEXT
.

[06] You may only post one contentless “Bah” post after you are dead.

[07] If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or thoughts about the set-up PM me.
I may or may not be able to answer your question but asking can’t hurt.

[08] I make mistakes, so if you think that there is a mistake, PM me.

[09] In an event that no win condition can be achieved, the players win in the following order Neutral > Mafia > Town.

[10] When the activity constant falls below 0.5, a 2-week deadline may be imposed. Exceptions to this rule include periods of mass V/LA.

[11] If a rule in the Special Rules, a role in the game, or a statement made directly by me to you overrides one of the Normal Rules, follow the amended rule.

[12] I can change the rules whenever I feel that it is necessary.



Special Rules for Cheat Mafia



[01] The Test for today is posted below. The Test is very hard, but fortunately your roles come with some knowledge.

[02] For each correct answer on the Test, you will get one point. For each incorrect answer, you will lose one point. The more points you have, the more abilities all roles gain. The essay is very difficult, and I don’t expect anyone to earn points on it, especially since I’m quite the harsh grader.

[03] Whenever you want, you may PM me to tell me which answers you will mark which choice. Your answer sheet and your points will be updated at the end of each day.

[04] However, you cannot succeed by just relying on your knowledge. You will have to resort to cheating. Each night, you can attempt to cheat off a player. If you succeed, you will see their answer sheet and what answers they have marked.

[05] However, each player has some Alerts to protect him from cheaters. Whenever you want, you can choose who you want to have your Alert on. If that player attempts to cheat off of you, he will fail and you will be notified of the attempt. Once you have successfully caught a player with an alert, that alert will be used up. You may change your alerts whenever you want.

[06] An alternative to sneakily cheating off another player, you may communicate with them and trade answers. Since the teacher is not very attentive, you can communicate outside of thread with other players whenever you want.

[07]
Town Win Con wrote:You win when all of the bad kids are expelled.


[08] After the lynch threshold has been reached, you will have an additional 24 hours to update your answer sheets before the day ends. I will confirm that the player has been lynched, but will not reveal his alignment until after the 24 hours, after which your answer sheets will be immediately updated. Late answers will not be accepted, so get in your answers as soon as you can!

[09] If you are communicating out of thread, you may forward me a link or a copy of a PM sent within the missing activity period to avoid prods.

Exam Day (Day 1)


It's the day you've all been dreading - Exam Day! Supposedly, a 16-question test shouldn't be that dificult, right? Well, it wouldn't if you actually knew more of the test material, and the test wasn't the most important test of your life. Oh, and the kids that want you expelled aren't helping...


As the students get off the busses, they file into the rooms they had been assigned. The normal hustle and bustle of the hallways was gone, and an oppressive silence filled the air and cut off conversation. By the time the bell rang, every kid was in their classroom, sitting silently.

You look around to see the other twelve students in your classroom. Each of them look as nervous and frightened as you. Suddenly, you hear the clip-clop of shoes down the hallway. The sound passed the other doorways, and stopped briefly before your door. The tension of the classroom raised another notch as the person outside studied the door. Then, the knob turned and the door began to open...

And relief fled across the room. It was Mr. Shoals! There was hope for this class yet! Mr. Shoals spoke to the class:

"Hello class - I will be your teacher for today while you take this test. I'm sure most of you already know me and my strict standards and excellence. Now, I'm going to pass out the test and you may begin!"

Now, an explanation here may be neccessary - Mr. Shoals was reknowned for his obvliousness and forgetfullness. With him as your proctor, you will easily be able to cheat. Maybe with the combined knowledge of the class, you will all be able to pass the test! But will that be enough to avoid the dangerous arm of your malevolent classmates?

After the tests were passed out, Mr. Shoals announced:

"The test is out. You have the whole day. You may begin."

And sure enough, five minutes after, he fell asleep.


With 11 out of the 12 players confirmed, it's time to start!

Day 1 has begun! With 12 alive, it's 7 to lynch.


NOTE: VisMaior has 48 hours to confirm, or else he will be replaced.

In the idea of "all-access", I'm going to come out and say it.

I am a druggie. However, I'm a good-natured druggie. I am a miller, since I do drugs, everyone thinks I'm a bad kid.

Additionally, I am not setting any alerts. Anyone who wants to cheat off me can.

The Day Begins (Day 1)


Soon after the day begins, the students are busy chatting among themselves, catching up with their friends that they haven't seen all summer. The test can come later - they have all day! Suddenly, an announcment is blasted out of the intercom:

"Mr. Shoals, it Billy in your classroom?"

At the sound, Mr. Shoal woke up with a start. He clumbsily scanned the roll, and shouted a reply:

"Yes, he's here."

"Will you please send him to the front office? We've located several highly dangerous items in his locker."

The air was sucked out of the classroom as the students collectively gasped - Billy, the Hillbilly Kid was going to be expelled on The Test Day! He can't finish his test then? And as the gravity of his predictament dawned upon him, he began to panic:

"No, no, don't take me! I ain't got nothin' in ma locker! It was framed I tells yah!"

But despite his pleas, his efforts were futile. Two resource officers opened the door and walked in. Billy say the officers and tried to run, but his progress was halted by the walls that surrounded the room. As the officers dragged him away, his screams slowly softened until they could be heard no more.

The class felt as much pity for Billy as you could expect students to feel - his life was ruined!

Shortly after, Mr. Shoals fell asleep and class continued on.

NPC, The Hillbilly Kid, ???
has been expelled Day 1.[/b]

An Announcment (Day 1)


The class did not get to socialize for much longer before an announcment rang out of the intercom once more:

"Mr. Shoals, we have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that further tests in Billy’s locker have shown that he was in fact innocent – the explosives that we found were proven to not be his. Unfortunately, the threat that he would not be able to complete his test was too much for poor Billy, and even our best counselors can’t whack the sanity back into him. That is all.”

Mr. Shoals didn’t even bother waking up this time.

NPC, The Hillbilly Kid, Innocent

Finally, someone that read the book. I'd say I'd like to be Rachel. She had that outgoing, let's get this done, and done good atitude.

@animo: The only reason Nat claimed is because she claimed miller. This might have caused problems later on when cops start investigating.

I'm sketched out by miller claims, as in one of my other games, we have three claimed millers. If anyone is reading that game, then it could be a scum gambit easily.

To both millers: are you death millers?

because Ax is clearly the coolest ;)

Rachel is obviously the best. No doubts about it.

@malthusis: That was my mistake, I regret it.

@Electra: If someone said they were a death miller, I wouldn't believe them for a second. Not only is the role extremely rare, people don't usually know about it.
