Mini 149: Open Role Mafia - Game Over

Post Post #0 (isolation #0) » Tue Dec 21, 2004 9:00 am

Status: Stick a fork in us. Thanks for playing everybody.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Welcome to Open Role Mafia.

I've been thinking that some roles, from a thematic perspective, don't really make sense to be hidden. Who ever heard of an undercover mayor or doctor? This game is designed to be more interesting and more realistic by giving everyone a role that is out in the open, while some people have a second, perhaps more sinister role.

Generic intro: Evil has found its way to the humble town of Humbleton - Humble townsfolk have been found dead each morning and something has to be done before its too late. The town takes matters into its own hands and will lynch one person per day until the killings end.

Players Alive:
HairyMezican the Sheriff, just a sheriff.
Jaguar the Butcher, townsperson.

Players Dead:
zedmango the Nurse, just a nurse, stabbed and shot on night 1.
Malaprop the Innkeeper, townsperson, hanged on day 1.
mathcam (replacing mlaker) the tailor, vigilante, shot on night 2.
mole the deputy, mafia scum, stabbed on night 2.
Stewie the Priest, mafia scum, hanged on day 2.
MeMe the Actress, undercover cop, modkilled day 2.
vikingfan (replacing Dourgrim) the Doctor, just a doctor shot on night 3.
Cubsfan4ever the Grocer, serial killer, hanged on day 3.
Xanthe the Baker, guardian angel, departed night 4.
lazarusmoth the Mayor, mafia scum, hanged on day 4.

The Roles:

lazarusmoth was the Mayor
- Once per day, during the day, lazarusmoth could pardon a player by posting
pardon: name
, bolded, in the thread. The pardoned player could not be lynched that day and the pardon may not be rescinded. The mayor could not pardon himself.

vikingfan (replacing Dourgrim) was the Doctor
- Each night vikingfan could select a player to be immune to being killed that night. He may choose to protect himself but never for two consecutive nights.

zedmango was the Nurse
- If vikingfan dies, zedmango would have become the new doctor.

HairyMezican is the Sheriff
- Once per night HairyMezican may select a player, and I will tell him whether that person is evil.

mole was the Deputy
- If HairyMezican dies, mole would have become the new Sheriff.
Both the sheriff and the deputy are guaranteed to be sane and there are no roles that are immune to their investigations

Stewie was the Priest
- To avoid bloodguilt, Stewie would never cast the final lynching vote on somebody.

MeMe was the Actress
- MeMe was busy rehearsing her lines all day could only be bothered to vote for somebody if it is the final vote required.

Xanthe was the Baker
and had no special abilities.

Jaguar is the Butcher
and has no special abilities.

Cubsfan4ever (aka Cubsfan4life) was the Grocer
and had no special abilities.

Malaprop was the Innkeeper
and had no special abilities.

mathcam (replacing mlaker) was the Tailor
and had no special abilities.

The Rules:

Please remember that this is a game. Try your hardest but keep it fun.
Please bold your votes and unvotes. If a vote is not bolded it will not be counted.
Please unvote. If you do not unvote, your new vote will still count but I will be annoyed.
Inactivity will get you replaced, but not before a warning. If you are going to be away for more than 48 hours please say so
in thread
.
No posting in twilight
, except to point out that it is twilight.
No posting after you're dead.
Not even Bah. Else I will modkill you. Er, wait...
No talking about the game outside of the thread, except as your roles allow.
Players may vote no-lynch. Two consecutive days and nights with no deaths will cause the game to end as a draw between all parties who have at least one player alive.
If conversation slows, I will impose a deadline. This deadline may or may not be retractable, according to my whim.
A full majority will be needed for a lynch, deadline or not. If no majority has been reached when a deadline comes to pass, no lynch will occur.
Players who are eliminated from this game will not be able to rejoin as a replacement. Go find another game where you won't have a conflict of interest. You're not wanted here.
Please be respectful to your moderator. You have to because it is in the rules. See?

The constant killings in Humbleton have really put a damper on the holiday spirit. The townspeople awake this morning, hopeful that their prayers for yuletide peace have been answered. But alas, no. As they gather in the town square, they see that zedmango, the nurse, is missing. They find him in his home, gruesomely stabbed with multiple knife wounds, and with a bullet to the head to boot. There is nothing amiss in his home or possessions. It would appear that he was just the humble town nurse.

Thus begins day one. The game is on. Get posting.

11 players alive. 6 votes needed to lynch.

Sorry MeMe, but as the actress you cannot vote except as a lynching vote. The vote will be disregarded. Consider yourself warned, and stuff.

Clarification: the words "has no special abilities" here are meant to define the open roles, Baker, Butcher, Grocer, Inkeeper, and Tailor. Nothing is implied regarding hidden roles.

I am loathe to interject myself into town discussion like this, but I think these sentences were poorly worded.

The town gathers and discusses at length who should be held responsible for the deaths. The crowd gathers around mlaker/mathcam - lets take out the quiet one! Wait, wait, I can talk, honest I can, I've got strategies and theories and stuff! A scream rises from the crowd - "lets take out the other quiet one!" Other townsfolk join in, "yeah, quiet people are evil!" "You can never trust the quiet ones!"

And so Malaprop is dragged off to the gallows. His last words, "I didn't do it! I'm just an innkeeper!" Busting into his home sort of seems wrong, but hell, you already killed the guy, so how much worse is breaking and entering? Nothing seems unusual or out of place. It would appear that Malaprop was just an innkeeper.

Malaprop the innkeeper, townsperson, is hanged.

Please send night choices.
Deadline for night choices is Tuesday Febuary 1st, Midnight EST.

The Humbleton townspeople awaken and gather in the town square. Not one but two citizens are missing this morn, and everyone fears the worst for mathcam and mole.

First, to mathcam's home. The front door has been broken in, and the townspeople are immediately startled with the sight of mathcam sprawled out on the floor in a pool of his own blood. He was shot in the back of the head.

A search around his home reveals a complete Dirty Harry DVD collection, a pistol under the pillow, and on the nightstand, dog-eared copies of "Vigilante Justice for Dummies" and "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Taking the Law Into Your Own Hands". It would appear that mathcam was a vigilante.

As the group walks away from mathcam's place, another body is spotted. A man lies face down on the ground, just outside the back door. It looks like his expensive Italian suit did not protect him from a brutal stabbing. You flip him over and see the face of mole, the esteemed town deputy! He is wearing a Ricciardi family signet ring and he was clearly mafia scum!

mathcam the tailor, vigilante, has been shot.
mole the deputy, mafia scum, has been stabbed.

Day two has started. 8 players are alive, 5 votes needed for a lynch.

MeMe steps forward. "Hey everybody, I don't just play one on TV, I really am a cop. Look at my shiny badge!" She whirls in place, extending her pointy-finger towards Stewie, "and YOU, father, are as guilty as sin." The mob forms around the priest, he is dragged off to the gallows and given a rope collar to fit around his cloth one. The crowd marches off to the rectory, fearing divine retribution if they made a bad choice. In Stewie's jewelry box is the Ricciardi signet ring, and the town is relieved.

As night falls, the good people of the town would normally head back to their homes where they can enjoy a good night's sleep, locked away in their warm safe beds. But this night some of the townsfolk head back to the town square and resume chatting about recent events instead. The skies open and sheets of heavy rain begin to fall. Thunder rumbles and flashes of lightning illuminate the night. As everyone begins to run for their house they hear a scream. They turn to see that MeMe has been struck down by a bolt of lightning.

Stewie the priest, mafia scum, has been hanged.
MeMe the actress, undercover cop, has been modkilled.


------
I take the no posting in twilight rule pretty seriously. Being able to post in twilight gives an unfair advantage to those who happen to be able to log in before the moderator does.

Anyways, I hereby give warnings to Jaguar, Hairy Mezican, and vikingfan. I think MeMe’s violation was the most flagrant since she pasted the rule she knew she was breaking into the very same post, and she had the other two warnings besides.

vikingfan is missing this morning. He is found in his home, shot in the back of the head. Nothing is out of place and it looks like he was truly the town doctor.

vikingfan the doctor, just a doctor, has been shot.

And so Cubsfan is strung up. You look around his home - bloody knives, a megalomaniacal journal, and a fridge full of body parts. Cubsfan was a serial killer.

Cubsfan4ever the grocer, serial killer, has been hanged.

Deadline for night choices: 72 hours from this very post (About 10:00 AM Eastern Thursday)

The remaining townsfolk again head out to the town square with heavy hearts. One way or another this will all come to an end soon. This time Xanthe is missing, but before anybody can take a single step towards her home, a brilliant winged spirit with the likeness of Xanthe flies overhead. She says, "I am found and my time in this world is done. I now return to my Father. Be wise, children."

Xanthe the Baker, guardian angel, has departed.

3 left, 2 to lynch.

lazarusmoth is strung up. A search through his personal effects reveals paperwork showing how he used mob influence to rig the mayoral election. He also has the all-telling Ricciardi signet ring.

lazarusmoth the mayor, mafia scum, is hanged.

And so dawns a new day of tranquility in Humbleton, for, well, the only two people left. You know, you both might want to just board up the whole place and move on somewhere else, where there are, like, other people. Unless you two really like each other. Not my business, actually. Anyways, bust out the champagne becuase:

Town Wins!

Jaguar was just a townie and HM had no hidden role.

I hope people didn't mind the unusual format of this game. I wasn't sure if it should be a theme park game or a regular mini, but I figured better to ask forgiveness than permission.

If you were wondering, the open-role / hidden-role pairings were not random. I chose pairings that I thought would make the game interesting, then I assigned the pairings randomly to players. I'd like to try this again some time, and I think next time I will do the pairings randomly.

All of the hidden roles were pretty standard. The guardian angel was a doctor who could not protect herself or be protected by anybody else. I think the setup was just a little too pro-town. If I had it to do again I'd remove either the guardian angel or the undercover cop role.

Hope you all enjoyed it. Feedback is welcome.

Stewie, I agree with most of your points regarding balance. Two sane cops was too much. And yes, eliminating the metagaming is the main reason I want to do random assignments next time. I have already devised the setup: 12 open town roles with three scum randomly assigned among them, and no hidden pro-town roles - a completely open setup.

I have the no-twilight rule for two reasons - first, I don't like it when people can get an advantage depending on the time of day when they can post. Since the thread freezes at whatever time of day the moderator logs on and checks it, those who happen to be able to post during the window have their say while others can't. The other reason is that I don't want dead players talking, and a player with enough votes for lynch is as-good-as-dead.

I think I did well by bolding those parts of my rules that were different from some other moderators, but putting such in the role PM's isn't a bad idea either.
