Newbie Setup

(Stolen Directly from the Queue Post)
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. They are listed below.

Spoiler: Full Setups

Row 1:

Mafia Goon x 2, Town Jailkeeper, Vanilla Townie x 6

Row 2:

Mafia Roleblocker, Mafia Goon, Town Cop, Town Doctor, Vanilla Townie x 5

Row 3:

Mafia Goon x 2, Town 1-shot Bulletproof, Town Tracker, Vanilla Townie x 5

Column A:

Mafia Roleblocker, Mafia Goon, Town Jailkeeper, Town 1-shot Bulletproof, Vanilla Townie x 5

Column B:

Mafia Goon x 2, Town Cop, Vanilla Townie x 6

Column C:

Mafia Goon x 2, Town Doctor, Town Tracker, Vanilla Townie x 5

All Newbie games should use the Natural Action Resolution system for determining Night action effects. Roleblocker actions will take precedence over Jailkeeper actions should that apply. The 1-shot Bulletproof is a passive ability that cannot be roleblocked.

Rules

1. All site and mafia rules must be adhered to in this game. Some of the major ones are covered below.
2.

Do NOT discuss ongoing games in this thread. In addition, do NOT discuss this game outside this thread and any other places where I have specifically allowed (like the Mafia PT.)

3. The mod reserves orange in the game thread. In addition, in private threads,

Yellow will be used instead.

Do not attempt to impersonate me. In addition, be aware that a backup mod may reserve a different color; do not impersonate them
4.

Encryption of any kind is forbidden. Breadcrumbing is fine.

5.

Trust tells are forbidden and should not be used.

6. Do not use *provable* randomness.
7. Pre-game will last 72 hours, and the game thread alongside all PTs shall be open during that time. Days will have a deadline of 14 days and extensions will only be given in extreme circumstances. Night will last 48 hours.

Mafia do NOT have daytalk.

8. All players, in addition to confirming their role by pm, are expected to

post at least once during pre-game

. Failure to do so will result in a prod. Prods will be issued every 48 hours with no exceptions. Players will have 24 hours to respond to a prod.

Moderator discretion will be used to determine when a player should be replaced due to too many prods; there is no set magic number.

9. The IC position is a volunteer teaching position. They are expected to abide by the How to be a Good IC Article and have at least 5 games of experience on the site. Feel free to ask the IC about any

theory-related

questions.
10. To vote, use bolded tags or vote tags. They will look like this: (The latter is preferred)

Vote: Playernane

or VOTE: Playername. The code is shown below:

Code: Select all

[v]Playername[/v]

11. To unvote, use bolded tags or unvote tags. They will look like this:

Unvote: Playername

or UNVOTE: Playername.

You do not have to unvote to change votes.

Code follows:

Code: Select all

[uv]Playername[/uv]

12. You can vote for No Lynch just as you can a player: VOTE: No Lynch.
13. A lynch occurs when 50% of players (rounded down) + 1 vote for a player. The final vote is called the hammer, and once a hammer is placed, that player's fate is sealed. After a hammer, the game enters twilight ,and all living players (including the lynched player) may continue to post

until I either a) Lock the thread or b) Post the final VC.

If a wagon does not get enough votes before deadline, then the day will end in No Lynch.
14.

Confirm by pm'ing me your role name and what your ability(ies) do if you have any.

[SirCakez]

Cool beans
Let me know if you need anything

[Ircher]

Okay.

Don't forget my V/LA dates:

July 11-15 and July 25-29.

[Ircher]

Everything's ready to go!

I didn't send you a copy of the role pms, but should you need them @SirCakez, you can just copy-paste the above pms in 3.

[Ircher]

Some comments from the mod will be noted here as the game progresses.

RQS is scummier than RVS based on gut, experience, and other things

It looks town really but most of it that I encounter are from scum. 80% of it. Its a really easy LAMIST play.

So yeah.

UNVOTE:
VOTE: e_is_cool

FoS is overrated anyways

Tbh, I dislike this post and if I were playing, I'd scumread Earth for it.

Some things to point out:

1) RQS stands for Random Question Stage and is similar to RVS except you ask Q's instead of making random votes.
2) RQS is just as great as RVS; in fact, RQS generally works a lot better in newbie games than RVS. (Note: RVS is used way more often and you probably aren't going to use RQS outside the Newbie Queue)
3) RQS is NAI just like RVS.
4) LAMIST stands for "Look at me, I'm so town" and is rarely used. In this particular case, doing RQS is not LAMIST play and I find it strange that Earth presumes to label it as such.

[Ircher]

Rb, Vecna, and Scold (SE) have all offered to replace.

rb will replace Storma, vecna will replace BlizzardMist, and Scold (SE) will replace Faalcon if I don't get any newbie offers.

I would apreciate it if you can issue role pms for the first two when my timer expires.

[Ircher]

@SirCakez

Starting tomorrow, you will need to cover for me. I ask that any prods you send be BCC to me.

[SirCakez]

Okey dokey, for how long?

[Ircher]

Til July 18.

[Ircher]

I'm back from V/LA. Everything went smoothly I presume?

[SirCakez]

yep, I was having some trouble deciding whether to do the flip or not but you came back

[Ircher]

Just noting the Cop hasn't sent in an action yet

[Ircher]

Night 1 Actions

Heal: Nacho

I assume I can use abbreviations (if they are used by the mod), right?

Vecna kills RB
Nachomamma8 roleblocks Dirty Harry

In my experience, people who openly wish that a cop exists generally aren't cops unless those people are particularly tricky, whereas RB feels fairly straightforward. I'm willing to go for your instinct and block mine, though; my reasoning on Dirty Harry isn't particularly advanced other than he feels PR-ish.

I'll try to make a sizeable post here tomorrow; I'm sorry about being inconsistent recently, schedule has been crazy and hell and won't let up fully until the end of the week although I'll try to be more consistent even if I can't be as wordy as I'd like.

Actions:

E protects Nacho --> Success!
Vecna kills rb --> Success!
Nacho roleblocks Harry --> Success!
Franky takes no action --> Na!

Final Resolution:

rb dies.

[Ircher]

It's interesting to note that Harry never voted D1 (though I think he did during pre-game).

[Ircher]

Wow loopdan, welcome to the game but that is quite the major scumtell right of the bat.

I guess you have to die now.

VOTE: Loopdan

Are you serious?!

I would take that post you just posted as a scumtell.

[Ircher]

Friendly reminder that I'm V/LA again this week.

Keep an eye on activity levels and send prods when needed.

[Ircher]

(Reminder to post VCs as I really don't have the time to do so....)

[SirCakez]

When I checked in yesterday it was still on the same page as your last VC
I'll do one today tho

[SirCakez]

ok handled the replacement

[SirCakez]

you keep doing VCs before I can lol

[Ircher]

I might be able to get away with having Faalcon replace back into Skold's slot assuming he's still around.....

[Ircher]

Town is prob. losing.

Whelp, 1 hr til the day ends, and I won't be around right at that time.
