Mini 1,573: How Do You Want to Die? (Game over!)

[StrangerCoug]

I've been on this site for six years now, and I've seen some rather crazy stuff on this site.

You see, the killers in my games seem to be rather averse to the tried-and-true shooting someone to dispose of someone (though, of course, it's happened). They like to use a little more variety than that. This time, though, you can make a literal dying wish and tell the person kill you exactly how you want your life taken away.

Want some ideas? How about getting the crap beaten out of you with a sock full of sand?

Or maybe you want to go out (sort of) in style by being given the heave-ho off a famous Las Vegas landmark?

...Not crazy enough? How about getting your face burnt off by someone burping a fireball?

All of these have happened in my games before, and if you guys think it interesting enough, it may happen again. It's your masochistic dream come true in How Do You Want to Die?

GENERAL GAME RULES

Unless contradicted by your role PM:

1. Votes must be in vote tags to count. Unvote tags are not required before voting someone else, but can help with clarity; unvote tags
   ARE
   , however, required to have your name moved to the "Not Voting" column. A majority of votes is required to lynch—no exceptions. You may also vote No Lynch; if the majority does so, day will end early without a lynch.
   
2. Each day will be three weeks if more than 18 players are alive, two weeks if between 7 and 18 players inclusive are alive, and one week if fewer than 7 players are alive. Each night will be two days.
   
3. If three consecutive cycles pass with no lynch or kill attempt, the game automatically ends in a draw.
   
4. Prods go out after 48 hours of inactivity. If you do not respond to a prod within 24 hours or I have to prod you a third time, I will replace you.
   
5. The mod's color is purple. Don't use it.
   
6. Do not pretend to break the rules or encourage others to break the rules.
   
7. If something needs my attention, PM me or bold the word "Mod" followed by what you want to tell me.

Additionally, all site rules apply. (I allow "Bah!" posts, by the way.) Nobody in this game has a role that permits violations of these.

RULES SPECIFIC TO THIS GAME

1. I have appointed Equinox to be my backup mod in case I don't have Internet access or anticipate such. Please be nice to her.
   
2. Before I can give you a role PM, you need to PM me with what you want your death scene to be. You have the choice of just giving me the basic idea or writing your own flavor. If I approve your submission, then I will comply with your request so long as you don't replace out or survive to the endgame. Yes, I'm requiring myself to follow your wishes even if I modkill you. (That said, don't get modkilled, please.)
   
3. Normally, I have a very lenient hydra policy and will allow hydrae to play so long as there are no more than two people per hydra and I know who's in each hydra.
   Not this time.
   I prize your individuality too much. I will happily accept the two of you separately, and I will also happily accept you entering as a hydra in my next game.

SAMPLE ROLE PM

StrangerCoug, you are a

vanilla townie

. You came here for what you thought was a game of Russian roulette. A game of bravado. Instead, it's a mass murder scene. Ah, well, at least the killers listen, and you were always the wimpy one anyway.

You have no gun, no badge, no first aid kit, no magic thingamajiggers, absolutely nothing special except for three things—a death wish, your brain, and voting abilities. But those three things are all you need to die happy!

You win when all threats to the town have been eliminated from the game.

Please PM me back acknowledging that you understand and confirm your role. The thread is here and you're in a day start.

[StrangerCoug]

The four players who have not submitted a death according to my records have (expired on 2014-05-08 19:02:11) to do so before I replace them.

[StrangerCoug]

All players have submitted an acceptable death. Role PMs will be randomized when I get home.

[StrangerCoug]

All role PMs are out. You have (expired on 2014-05-09 18:43:49) to confirm.

[StrangerCoug]

Firestarter has failed to pick up his PM and will be replaced. If he posts before I announce a replacement, he may stay.

The rest of you may start. Day 1 ends in (expired on 2014-05-23 18:48:13).

[MafiaSSK]

VOTE: Kitoari

Because obv scum.

[goodmorning]

VOTE: SSK

I preferred your cheeseposting, I think.

[StrangerCoug]

Burning_Earth replaces Firestarter.

[HighShroomish]

VOTE: GOODMORNING

Your name itself is subconsciously buddying everyone. It makes people less likely to want to vote you because you greet them so kindly, but I won't be falling for your schemes!

And because it's night where I live. So yeah.

[Burning_Earth]

I'm planning to be strangled by the sheer number of who alts

Vote Good Morning

wagon ahoy!

[reinoe]

VOTE: maziek
his name comes before mine in the player list.

[Burning_Earth]

VOTE: maziek
his name comes before mine in the player list.

Scum found.

Now, let's break up this horrible post from reinoe.

"Vote Maziek"

The terribleness! The buddying! You're buddying up to maz so much!!!!!!!! Why are you guaranteeing your vote for him in the next election? So he would think you're town, that's why.

"His name comes before mine in the player list"
The tunneling! The reaching! You know who provides reasons for their vote? Tunneling scummy scummy scum, that's who! But let's break this down further.

"His"
Look at this tunneling! You're not focused on anyone but him!!!!!

"name"
Why focus on something such as the name? Because you're scum that's why!

"comes before mine"
Look! Vindictive scum! You are bitter because maziek is ahead of you! You want to catch up, and how? By moving his name to the dead list!

"Mine"
Oh, the self-consciousness! Reinoe is really obvscum, isn't he.

"."
Look at that! That full stop puts an end to the matter, instead of leaving it open for discussion. Townies want discussion. So reinoe is scum!

UNVOTE: VOTE: Reinoe

[reinoe]

This does give me a chance to try something new. Random Question Stage!

1). Do you value "consistency"? How important is it to you?

2) How much junk do you want in your trunk?

3) Are you going to see Maleficent?

4) Why aren't you maintaining a wikipedia page? They fucking rock face.

5) Link to your most recent completed game and tell me what you learned about it.

6) What do you think about people who post fluff?

[Burning_Earth]

1. No and not at all

2. Uh about fluff

3 ^

4 ^

5: Uh, Strange Idea Mafia. What did I learn? When saulus, claim

6: What, fluff like your post? Badbadbadbadbad.

[Dr Pants]

VOTE: Burning Earth

I hope you plan to answer these yourself.
1. Depends what you mean by consistency.
2. Depends on what type of junk.
3. Probably not.
4. I am. It's only behind four months now instead of seven.
5. N1487: Taught me that people can be distracted by sleight of hand here as well as in any magician's act.
6. That they are troublesome and possibly called "reinoe posting RQS questions".

@Dr Pants: ...are you a hydra?

[Burning_Earth]

Pants is not a hydra. See, no hydra rule in sign ups thread.

oh great i get to deal with the ass of BE

know what poilcy lynch time:

VOTE: BE

[reinoe]

I hope you plan to answer these yourself.

Sorry GM, I've been waiting for my first game to come to an end. Surely you can understand.

This does give me a chance to try something new. Random Question Stage!

1). Do you value "consistency"? How important is it to you?

I value it pretty highly. Not complete consistency but giving one person a hard time while ignoring something someone else is doing is going to ping for me.

2) How much junk do you want in your trunk?

I've got Water, batteries of several types, and a flashlight in my car trunk. I don't want any junk.

3) Are you going to see Maleficent?

Fuck yea. Looks awesome.

4) Why aren't you maintaining a wikipedia page? They fucking rock face.

It's very up to date. In fact I updated it while watching sleeping beauty in anticipation for Maleficent.

5) Link to your most recent completed game and tell me what you learned about it.

Newbie 1492 Patience is a virtue and just because something makes sense in my head, doesn't mean it'll make sense once it gets typed out through my fingertips. Gambits should be handled with some care.

6) What do you think about people who post fluff?

It has an acquired taste. I should be sure to respect other people's styles, but I acknowledge I can only take so much.

[Burning_Earth]

oh great i get to deal with the ass of BE

know what poilcy lynch time:

VOTE: BE

Don't worry, the feeling is mutual.

(also policy lynches suck in every possible way)

1). Do you value "consistency"? How important is it to you?

3) Are you going to see Maleficent?

wut?

4) Why aren't you maintaining a wikipedia page? They fucking rock face.

PR hunting is fun when you do it in stuble ways

6) What do you think about people who post fluff?

depens what you mean by fluff, even fluff posting can be informative

p-edit: good to know

[Burning_Earth]

Like, you're fine as a person, but if you wanna lecture me about upick mafia, I remind you that you were the self-hammering bodyguard.

[ika]

may i aslo remind you that you were a fucking mason who let scums hammer a townie and never took the game seriously?

when i was clear as day that dagon was town?

then yes by all means we can spam this thread and have a lecutre on each other about it, seriously, all you did in that was be "trolllolololololol, im obvi town"

[Burning_Earth]

Yeah, you told me that dagaen was town. I should have immediately stopped my scumcase and bowed to your superior logic.

Also, I cased generic. I was wrong in every way, but I tried.

Anyway, if you find me unbearable, I'll replace out. You got here first after all.
