Open 429: True Love (Game Over)

Post Post #0 (ISO) » Thu Jul 19, 2012 10:38 pm

Post by Espeonage »

Welcome to Open 429, a game of True Love. I wish I could say that they lived happily ever after, but when does that ever happen around here? Mafia is a game of lies and shadows, much like dating. So what better way to celebrate this similarity than with a nice little get-together of passion and death.

Hearts Beating With Flourish (Alive):

PMysterious
The Acting Method
Venmar
Junpei
TeChNoWC
Bitmap
citysnake
Om of the Nom

In the Arms of Eternal Slumber (Dead): Empty


So about me, this is my second modding job. (third if you include the one where I flaked before the game even started, eh heh... I had stuff come up. But that shouldn't happen here. My gf would kill me if anything happened to me. :D) And I am very excited to get back to modding. So I hope to give you all a very entertaining game. Remember, I am Australian and I know most of the players on MS are from the other side of the world, so I ask that you be patient with me as I might just be asleep or at Uni.

Also, it would please me greatly if noone would post as I get the rest of the posts ready. Next post will have rules, the post after will have the possible PMs and the post after that will be a game status post. HooRoo for a couple of minutes. :)

Rules: (Adapted from KittyMo who adapted it from MiteyMouse, Vel-Rahn Koon, and DragonPheonix.)

You pledge:
1. To remember that this is a game and to have fun, be respectful, and try not to take anything personally.
2. To remember that when you signed up for this game, you made a commitment to it. Please let the mod and the other players know if you're leaving for an extended period of time. If you cannot commit, it's okay to ask for replacement but make sure you do leave notification. In sig is fine, I will check.
3. To try to keep a posting level of at least once every 48 hours.
4. To play to the spirit of the game.
5. To not communicate outside of this topic with other players unless your role PM specifically allows it.
6. To keep talk about this game and other ongoing games in their respective game threads.
7. To not use purple-colored text. The mod has claimed it as his color.

7. To vote using the vote tags eg VOTE: VOTE: Espeonage . You are allowed to shorten their name as long as it is still clear who you are talking about.
Unvotes are neccessary when changing your vote, If you do not unvote, your new vote will not be counted.

8. To get my attention by saying something such as Mod: The vote count is incorrect. in your post, or PMing me. When posting to me in thread bolded text preferable or I may miss it.
9. To recognize that during twilight, the lynched player (if there is one) cannot talk during Twilight , and that no further votes and unvotes will count. Living players may continue to post.
10. To recognize the fact that when you're dead, you're dead, and that it's not your place to affect the game any further. Not even to make a BAH post.
11. To not edit posts or use any mod priveleges you may have in this game.

I pledge:
1. To keep the game active by prodding players who go without posting for more than 48 hours, and replacing any players that go without posting for more than 96 hours without letting me know of their leave, exceptions made for weekends and holidays. I will also prod upon reasonable request. NOTE: I live in Australia and may not know about any American holidays. If this situation occurs, prior notice of the holiday is required.
2. To try my best to not make game-damaging mistakes. If I do make a mistake, please correct me in thread. For serious mistakes that may affect the outcome of the game, please PM me.
3. To post links to any QTs, role PMs, night actions, and other information that players may be wondering about. If this is an issue, please let me know.
4. Set 2 week day deadlines in order to keep games active and productive. I may extend the deadline upon requests, or as a result of replacements or any other problems that may occur.
5. To pronounce a No Lynch should the town have not come to a consensus by deadline. But that doesn't really matter so I might not. Ooooooo, Mystery.
6. Handle lynches before deadline in the following way: Whenever a player has reached a simple majority of votes (s)he will be considered lynched and the game will roll over into twilight. Twilight will end when I post a death scene and lock the topic.
7. To keep vote counts regular, preferably once a day or once per page, whichever is sooner. They will be in their own post.
8. To keep the first post updated and accurate whenever possible.
9. To remember that being a Mod is a very important commitment and put my modding duties as a priority.
10. To reserve the right to use my best judgement in a situation not covered by these rules.

Update: Everyone has confirmed, however an issue has come up that I am currently sorting out with Hoopla so hold tight for a little bit.

Also it's a good idea for everyone to read the Wiki page on the game. It has everything you would want to know about this setup on it. http://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=True_Love

Everyone out their lovers.
I'm with citysnake.

For not outing his lover.

Post the game theory behind outing lovers because I think it's bs.

Because if we're going to lynch someone, we need to know who else we're lynching with them. This is basically the main reason behind it.

sweet, so we claim lovers at L-1 then.

now go pretend like you were joking about claiming lovers with citysnake because the benefits of hidden lovers is humongous playwise I think.

We can also use it to judge interactions between the pair.

I am lovers with citysnake still.

Plus, why not claim lovers when the scum would already know two pairings?

Scum are going to claim their correct pairings no matter what Om of the Nom. Think about how many people scum know are town and who those people are: They aren't their lovers, for one thing. Tells are still relevant. Just have to be careful is all.

No, you don't get my point.
Scum know two pairings.
Town knows none (or one if you count my claim).
Scum already have an advantage here, and that's not even counting the fact that they know who they are.

Scum know who all the town are.

If scum don't have more knowledge than us, then how do we differentiate between us and them? Besides, if scum knew all the town then it'd make their sneaky scum-tactics even easier to pull off. Just trust me on this one, I've thought about the advantages and disadvantages on this one. At least lets let others weigh in if you prefer.

Hey Om, do you have previous experience with this game type? If you did, did your last game work out well when you did this? I would be willing but I want to weigh the risks here.

Yes and reasonably well.
My last game with this, we ended up deciding both parts of a lover pair were scummy, and we lynched that pair, the one we didn't vote for ended up flipping scum.
However we still lost, as the last scum made me waffle a lot on my reads and ended up causing me to vote for my partner despite a correct gut read on the last scum.

@Om: I just read the whole game you posted. It just seemed that the knowledge kind of held you back as you were more concerned with which "pairing" seemed scummier instead of which "player". The first lynch was a lucky one because the partner managed to flip scum. You guys seemed lost after that.

Anyways, I never played this game type but if everyone is up for it, I have no problems with it.

No, the pairings were assesed on scumminess because of the players in them.

I've read the game already too. You guys WERE influenced by who was paired with who. It's nonsense to argue this because all knowledge influences relevant actions.
