Graveyard Shift Mafia - ROLL CREDITS

Post Post #0 (ISO) » Tue Apr 01, 2014 2:10 pm

Post by The Critic »

22 men and women, most of whom grew up in a life of privilege, never having had to worry about money, do manual labor, or even think too hard about their fellow man, have been thrown into the newest hit reality TV show: The Graveyard Shift.

They will work in a factory, performing redundant menial tasks and physical labor. The ones that makes it to the end of the show will receive even more money!

But there's a twist - not all of these folks are actually players. Some of them are the real administration of the plant, and they want to get as many of these useless, lazy, rich folk off their factory floor. Will the workers be able to fire the admins before the admins can take the plant back over?

Will your favorite white collar worker come away with extra cash they don't need? Or will they drop out early? Find out on Graveyard Shift, the latest hit from QuadPod Productions!

RULES:


General:
  • The Site Rules apply.
  • I reserve the right to alter these rules if I deem it necessary, including retroactively enforcing new/altered rules.
  • Use
    bold text
    to communicate with us in thread, or you may send us a PM.
  • Bolded purple is my color. Do not use it.

  • All roles have been given out by Random.org.
  • You may not quote directly from any communications that are not the game thread. This includes PMs, QT's, and Private Topics.
Voting/Lynching:
  • Voting will be done either using the VOTE: tag, or in this format:
    vote: Nixon
    .
  • There will be no voting trickery. If something appears to be a vote for a specific player, we will treat it as such.
  • A lynch will occur when half-plus-one of living players are voting for the same player. As soon as the hammer vote is cast, the game will enter Twilight.
  • Players may vote for No Lynch. A No Lynch will be hammered at half of living players, not half-plus-one.
  • All living players (including the lynchee) may talk in Twilight, but any voting/unvoting will not count. Twilight will last until we post the final vote count / scene.
  • Roles will be revealed upon removal from the game, for any reason.
  • After you are lynched or killed, you are allowed a single ‘bah’ post at the beginning of the next Day Phase. This may not contain any game-related content.
  • If there is no majority at deadline, a no-lynch will occur.
Activity:
  • Prods will be given if a player does not post for the entirety of their shift.
  • If a player does not post in the shift immediately following the receipt of their prod, they will be force-replaced.
  • We reserve the right to replace anyone who has been V/LA for too long.
Don’t Be Stupid:
  • Play to your win condition.
  • Don’t use hidden or encrypted text. You may use small text, unless it is hiding game-related or important information.
  • Do not excessively insult your fellow players. Insult the play, not the person.
  • Have fun. No, really. Have fun.

Game-Specific Mechanics and Rules
Time in this game is measured in two ways - Episodes and Shifts. Episodes are equivalent to a standard “Day Phase.” There are two different shifts in the game - Day Shifts and Night Shifts.

Any player allowed to talk out-of-thread (Mafia, masons, etc.) has the ability to do so at all times, including during Commerical Breaks.


Shift Rules:
  • Each Shift is 2 real-life days long.
  • Each player will be assigned to either the Day Shift or the Night Shift. Shifts may or may not change once every 8 Shifts (4 Day Shifts and 4 Night Shifts). A player may only post during his/her shift.
  • Actions can only be taken during your Shift, unless otherwise stated. This does not apply to factional actions.
  • Actions resolve immediately, unless otherwise stated.
  • The Mafia determines all Shifts after the first Shift, which will be determined randomly. They must submit the new Shift Distribution at least 1 Shift prior to the actual Shift Switch (by the end of Shift A.7, for example) or the shift will not change, unless changes must be made to accommodate other Shift rules. Said changes will be made randomly.
  • There will always be at least 1 Mafia member per Shift, at the beginning of each Shift.
  • There will never be a Town minority in each Shift, at the beginning of each Shift.
  • Shifts will always be the same size, or as close as possible (when there is an odd number of players alive).
  • Shifts will be referred to in the following format - [Letter].[Number] (Day/Night). For example, the first shift of the game will be Shift A.1 (Day).
  • If the mods fail to post a Shift change at deadline, continue playing in the same Shift until a post stating the change is made.
Episode Rules:
  • Each Episode is a maximum of 8 Shifts long, and ends upon a successful lynch being reached. Episodes ending early do
    not
    alter when Shifts switch.
  • There will be a 24-hour Commercial Break between each Episode. (This does not count as part of a Shift.) Nothing happens during this time.
  • Episodes will be numbered like Day Phases (i.e., Episode 1, Episode 2, etc.)
  • The Mafia gets 1 kill per Episode.
  • The Votecount encapsulates the entire playerlist. You may vote for a player in any shift.
  • A playerslot being removed from the game for any reason (killed/lynched/modkilled) will not reset the votecount. Additionally, if the lynch threshold changing due to removal of a player would cause a player to be lynched, that player will require an additional vote to be lynched. (Basically, someone else being killed cannot force a lynch that was previously at L-1.)
Wincons:
  • This game uses the White Flag mechanic. Town wins when there is 1 member of the mafia left.



This is a sample VT PM.
Spoiler: Sample PM
PlayernameHello, Playername!

You are
John Doe, the Nebbish Office Worker About Whom There Absolutely Is Not Anything Out of the Ordinary Except For that 15,000 Page Fantasy Manuscript He's Working On Where All the Chicks Have Dicks (Vanilla Townie)
.



You win when there is only 1 member of the Mafia faction remaining.

Please remember to read the rules post.

Please confirm by PMing us with your character’s last name, alignment, and role.

(A lizard looking man walks to the front of the conference room)

Lizard: Nice to see everyone here. My assistant tells me that you've all signed your release forms, so now we'll be able to move forward.

(the men and women around the room shift uneasily)

Lizard: We've posted the list of who is on what shift to the bulletin board in the conference room. You'll need to show up no less than an hour before your shift starts. Hair and makeup takes longer than you'd think. Those of you who have done a show before will understand.

Harry: Hey! Let 'em know about me.

Lizard: Ah... yes.... As some of you know, one of the real employees here is a few days from retirement.

Harry: Counting the days, son!

Lizard: So he will of course be off limits.

(Harry pulls a fruity drink seemingly from nowhere and starts slurping it noisily)

Lizard: So the rules

Lizard: The rules of the

Lizard: You can find out what to do

Lizard: OH FUCK IT

(Lizard storms out of the room)

Silence

OK Sven is town.
Paraphrasing a role PM is as easy as taking the "mafias" out of "mafiascum," fabricating a good fakeclaim is... sorry, I still got nothing.

talking shit


reck said something about killing roaches in the pet thread.

truth about reck:


when we were going outside reck asked brock to move the roach out of the way cos he was barefooted. NOT STEP ON IT.

conclusion: reck is loveable

bro:

I cannot say a negative thing about bro! his reads can be awsum and I look to him to follow a lead. DON'T DISAPPOINT ME.

conclusion: conftown with a shelf life like I hate I cannot interact with him. but it will/can be beautiful.

PERV:

why can't I figure this guy out

conclusion: discuss.

@ mods: can we only vote the people on our shift or is it global?

to lynch you need majority, which is [player field] divided by 2 + 1

Which means that we can vote the other shift

B8 = the letter is the episode and an episode is a normal day phase, the number is the episodes shift. So its the eight shift in episode 2

As it says in the rules you were supposed to have read:

The Votecount encapsulates the entire playerlist. You may vote for a player in any shift.
Shifts will be referred to in the following format - [Letter].[Number] (Day/Night). For example, the first shift of the game will be Shift A.1 (Day).

This game has already started and my buddy and I don't even have a QT to share hydra thoughts in which is unfortunate. Unfortunate because Im hoping to actually take full advantage of the hydra business this time. By that I mean there should not be any AP posts nor should there be any mastin posts, but a blend of the two as we combine our thoughts and express them as one unit Much unlike Shadow and Lights Mafia where AP mad bad moves and snowballed the suspicion on our slot by attempting to put out the fires on his own.

ANYHOW, you'll note that we have received a town role PM and will be catching all the scum as soon as we've resolved out backend issues :P.

I think that coming in and realizing that coordinating lynches will be different/needs another appoach is a towny mindset I think.

Approved.

It will create less noise/friction.

Not really sure if its alignment telling, but I like the approach non the less.
