Mini 1473 - Super Smash Bros. Mafia (Game Over!)

[Oversoul]

Super Smash Bros. Mafia

Reviewed by: callforjudgment, Empking, Super Smash Bros. Fan

Orbs of various colors and sizes floated in concentric circles around the vast expanse of the Arena. Their surfaces glistened in the sun while clouds of smoke whirled inside, briefly exposing a hand or a foot. Some orbs were large, others were small; some were vibrant colors, others were dull.The orbs bent the light from the large orange star floating in the distance, presumably the sun, into an array of technicolor shadows accenting the flawless marble that lined the floor. Gold lined the top of the inner wall of the Arena, separating the marble floors from the obsidian stands creating a beautiful dichotomy of white and black.

Planets, comets, and other celestial denizens moved smoothly high above the Arena, yet the orange star never moved. Electric blue lines sharply divided the obsidian rock surronding the marble creating soft pathways with flush seats for spectators, if there were any, to sit down. Behind the seats and the walkways and beyond the marble floors water streamed down into a resevoir encompassing the entirety of the Arena. The water sparkled brilliantely, breathing a soft mist over the obsidian stands. Bows of multicolored light often formed from the unique interaction between the mist and the star's light.

It was truly a spectacular site.

Then, all at once, the orbs stopped floating. They glimmered and then fell to the marble stage. Their colored smoke dissipated, their shiny exteriors dissolved revealing several humanoid figures. Instantly the figures began to move, quickly turning their heads, shuffling their feet and spacing themselves from one another. At this moment, a large floating hand appeared and snapped its figures, freezing everything - the soon to be combatants, the water, the planets, and the comets.

"Good morning and welcome to the Arena... I am your host... the Master Hand.

You all are probably thinking of some questions such as 'Why am I here?', 'What are you?', 'What is this place?', and my personal favorite, 'How can I escape?'.

To be succint, there is no escape."

Their pupils shrank.

"All 12 of you have been selected for your fighting prowess and incredible strength in the face of danger. I have observed each one of you over the course of several years and as a result I have plucked you from your own universe for one purpose - to fight. These fights will determine which one of you is truly the strongest, most resilient fighter and will be crowned as Champion. Prestige, honor, glory, and most importantly of all, power, await the victor of this battle. Be the victor. Claim your spoils. Retain your

life

.

And for the losers? What do they earn by their failure? A life time as my own personal trophies. No longer living by any sense of the word, but not dead. Purgatory of sorts existing in a single pose until the end of time. Just a little motivation to ensure that you all actively ... seek to win."

Their breath became shallow.

"As a precaution to save the sanctity of this competition to guarantee that you all will indeed fight, I have corrupted some of your comrades. They are no longer the heros of their universe, the saviors of the day. No... they are steeped in darkness. Their former allegiances, alliances, and pacts have been nullified. Their dark hearts and dark minds have no room for remorse or compassion and anyone foolish enough to seek shelter with these people will only meet a cruel and untimely end. Their sole purpose - to survive through whatever means possible - is the engine that powers this game.

As a word of warning to you all, trust no one.

And now, let the game begin.

== Rules ==

1.)

Be civil.

2.)

No talking outside the game about this game, unless your role PM allows otherwise.

3.)

No editing or deleting your own posts or another's posts.

4.)

No mod-quoting. Only paraphrase in your own words. You may quote from the sample role PM. As a corollary, do not impersonate the Mod.

5.)

This is a closed setup, which means the only roles you will know in advance are your own and that of any other player I mention in your role PM. All other role information is secret, including how many players with a certain role exist and even if the role exists in the first place.

6.)

Nights will last at least 48 hours, or until a replacement is found. Day One will last at most 3 weeks. Each other game Day will last at most 2 weeks. Exigent circumstances may result in an extension.

7.)

A lynch (or a No Lynch) takes a majority of votes. In other words, if 7 players are alive, it takes 4 votes to lynch. A majority is half the amount of living players rounded to the nearest whole number. If deadline is reached with no player having enough votes for a lynch, the day ends in an automatic No Lynch.

8.)

To vote, post a bolded

Vote: Oversoul

. To unvote, post a bolded

Unvote:

.

9.)

If you have a request, the fastest and preferred way to get ahold of me is by PM'ing me, but you may also communicate to me in thread if it is day or twilight and you are still alive. To do so, bold "Mod (or Oversoul):" followed by what you want to tell me, as in

Mod: Please prod Oversoul

or

Mod: Oversoul should have seven votes, not three.

Please use your judgment in whether or not what you want to tell me should be public knowledge before talking to me in the thread. In addition, I will not entertain questions regarding possible night actions, nor will I answer questions about a person's role unless you happen to be the person in question and you ask me privately.

10.)

I am not clairvoyant, omnipresent, or perfect. If I miss anything, please let me know in the game thread or through a Private Message.

11.)

My color for this game is

purple

. Do not use this color under any circumstances.

12.)

If you're dead, you are allowed one "Bah" post after your death. This "Bah" post must contain no information about the game or its contents. Any post after death containing information will be met with strict punishment.

13.)

After a lynch is reached, there is a brief period of twilight (from the time of lynch to the time I check the thread). You may talk during twilight, but you must adhere to the game's rules. No more votes will be counted after a lynch has been reached.

14.)

Do not use small text, invisible text, spoiler text, etc. All players should be able to read everything you say. As a corollary, do not constantly use CAPS LOCK, large text, colored text, etc. All players should be able to read everything you say without getting a headache.

15.)

I will issue a prod to any player that does not post for 72 hours without notifying me of his or her absence. If you are prodded, you will have 48 hours from the time of submission to post in thread. Failure to do so may result in replacement. I will only prod the same player twice after that, he or she must post every 72 hours to ensure that he or she remains in the game.

16.)

Discussing an ongoing game gets you a warning the first time and a

MODKILL

the second time.

17.)

I reserve the right to change or add to all game rules.

18.)

The most important rule of all, saved for last for what I think is a very good reason:

HAVE FUN!

Enjoy! And good luck!

You are

Master Hand

, the

Learning Game Moderator

So you're the one who is controlling everything? Why start now? Why these people? What did they do to deserve this type of treatment? All these questions will be answered in time as your plan comes into view. Your power only increases as your minions succeed. Will you be able to control the battlefield, or will your victims overcome the obstacles you've laid before them?

Abilities

Learning (passive): Not everything you do will be perfect. Bear with me!

Moderate (active, 2-Shot): During the night you may watch how the game progresses. This ability can be used

2

times.

You win when all threats to the town are dead and at least 1 member of the town is alive. Confirm via PM.

[Oversoul]

Game begins once 10/13 have confirmed!

[Oversoul]

Reached the required amount of confirmations.

Vote: FakeGod

For pretending to be God.

Also I think mass character claiming would be useful at this time.

[DCLXVI]

vote:KBW

I don't think FakeGod is pretending to be God. Hence the use of "fake" right before "God."

[Keybladewielder]

DCL, what character are you?

InB4DCLisCaptainFalcon

[Andrius]

What possible benefit would character claiming serve? If this is like, VILLAINS ARE SCUM they will have fakeclaims so nameclaiming does next to nothing and if its ANYONE CAN BE SCUM it serves absolutely no purpose.

/Against because there's no actual benefit for doing so. Flavor implies scum can be anyone.

Vote: mutleyddmc

Never met you before but I remember hearing bad things. I think. (!)

predit:

InB4DCLisCaptainFalcon

What is this.
Why is it here.
And how do you know this if true?

[DCLXVI]

DCL, what character are you?

[Keybladewielder]

It was a joke. The part should DCL.

Character Claiming gives us an idea about what abilities might be floating out there, and we can find lying scum through it.

I will even go first, if you like.

[DCLXVI]

This is bad posting, it may very well be scum posting.

Consider my vote on kbw to be serious now.

Blatant role fishing is bad.

[Keybladewielder]

Uh, yeah. Its not rolefishing. I'm saying that for example Kirby might be able to copy someone else's ability.

[DCLXVI]

Yes it is rolefishing,

let's say someone were to give the following response to your question about roleclaiming.

"I think its pointless because roles might not match up with prs"

On the surface that response would be harmless. But it could show that person is a pr who knows that role name/pr abilities don't match up and that could get that player nightkilled.

[Keybladewielder]

Ok fair enough.

[FakeGod]

Greetings, everyone.

We should not mass claim.

Vote: Seanald

[Mutleyddmc]

VOTE: KBW

Cos always vote KBW!

[Andrius]

Uh, yeah. Its not rolefishing. I'm saying that for example Kirby might be able to copy someone else's ability.

That

is

rolefishing.

You want to gain insight on player's roles by asking them their character name, which you believe to be

directly correlated

to abilities, so you are role fishing.

[Andrius]

DCLXVI is town ftr.

[Kthxbye]

Greetings, everyone.

We should not mass claim.

Vote: Seanald

Do you think kwb's request was that or role fishing? As in was that his purpose?

[Darthe]

vote FakeGod

[Valius II]

I think even if the purpose was mass claiming, it wouldn't be too helpful. For example, Kirby being able to copy abilities makes sense. But what is Mario? Fireball DKs? Ability to stomp on someone and crush them NKs? Who knows.
So some players will be at a disadvantage if we all character claim.

In other news, VOTE: keybladewielder for having done the only suspicious thing I've seen so far.

Same question to you then. Do you think kwb was trying to gain info to hurt town? Which post reads as scum motivation?

[Kthxbye]

DCLXVI is town ftr.

I agree but would like to hear why you came to this conclusion in detail.

[Kthxbye]

Ok fair enough.

Thoughts on dc and Andy thus far please.
