Game Rules:

This game is governed by This generic ruleset

Rules specific to this game:

This game uses the Newbie Matrix6 setup, which is a semi-open setup.

1) Deadlines will be 2 weeks for days, and 48 hours for nights.
2) I will issue a "Prod" to any player that has not posted for 2 days. If you do not post within 24 hours of this PM, I will seek a replacement. Anyone requiring 3 or more prods during the course of the game will be replaced.

[Jackal711]

Newbie Setup

Matrix6 (as designed by Cogito Ergo Sum):

	A	B	C
1	Town Jailkeeper	Vanilla Townie	Mafia Goon
2	Mafia Roleblocker	Town Cop	Town Doctor
3	Town 1-shot Bulletproof	Mafia Goon	Town Tracker

Each Newbie Game will be given a setup that incorporates either one row or one column. The remaining six roles will be filled in by mafia goons and vanilla townies appropriately, to create a 2-mafia and 7-town setup. For example Row 1 (1 jailkeeper, 1 vanilla townie, 1 mafia goon) would add an additional 5 vanilla townies and 1 mafia goon, for a total setup of 1 jailkeeper, 6 vanilla townies, and 2 mafia goons.

*Roleblocker will take precedence over jailkeeper when resolving night actions should that apply.

Also coffee.

So look- I am a little surprised we haven't hit scum yet.
That said, I still am thinking tic-tac is town, which leaves TWO scum in [franksa, pignash, KuroiXHF].

I have sadly seen lurker scum win WAY too many times, which would sit with a franksa/pignash scumteam.
Also, I haven't really checked.. but it seems like the night phases have gone all the way to deadline, which jives with a low-activity scumteam.

I think nights are always supposed to go to deadline? Haven't played in Jackal games before, so not sure how strict he is about it.

Deadlines in Newbie games are fixed, though there's leeway to extend day if needed. Night will never end early.

I find it interesting to note that both scum were on the final wagon, but the hammer vote was placed by a townie.

Good game everyone, thanks for playing.

[Jackal711]

I'm sure I can do more as a better player. This is my first full game on MS. If you have suggestions for me to be a better player, I'm all ears.

Overall I thought you were fine. Certainly better than MY first game (Newbie 1160) though I had the added pressure of being scum that game and replacing into a slot that most townies already were reading as scummy.

There's no "right" or "wrong" way to play this game. Just develop your own style, and try to avoid mistakes such as this.
