Mini 1415: Fairly Oddparents Mafia Game Over

[numberQ]

The kids looked around. Most were in awe, but a few just yawned. Suddenly, a giant, heavily muscled man with white, cropped hair appeared in front of them.

“Welcome, puny humans, to Fairy World!” Jorgen Von Strangle floated above them menacingly. “We are fairies! We are magic! We are all powerful! We…” His lower lip wobbled. “We need your help!” Jorgen began to cry, and the children all exchanged awkward glances.

“Uh, what’s wrong?” one of them asked.

“The Anti-Fairies have all escaped! They are evil creatures, who do evil things! But mostly they’re just really, really annoying. Except this time, they stole our magic! Our Fairy Intelligence Agency thinks that the Anti-Fairies have disguised themselves as human children! And I think that those Anti-Fairies… are amongst you!” Jorgen blinked. “Although I don’t have any proof of that. I just grabbed a bunch of random kids.”

One of the kids raised their hand.

“Yes?” Jorgen said, pointing at them.

“Well, I-”

“NO QUESTIONS! Now, are there any questions? Good! Go find out who the Anti-Fairies are! Oh, and to help you, I will give you our very last reserves of magic… 26 Magic Muffins! 2 for each of you! You can make one wish, with no rules. But you puny Anti-Fairies hiding amongst these children should not try to use the Magic Muffins, because it will not work on you. Now go, save Fairy World!”

Da Rules:

(Reference: Guy_Named_Riggs)

General

1. Be familiar with the sitewide rules and guidelines.
2. Personal attacks will not be tolerated. Use of homophobic, racist, sexist, or any other derogatory slurs -- even if made in a joking manner -- falls under this rule. Keep it civil. You will be given one warning; I particularly dislike this.
3. Unless otherwise specified in your role PM or by me, you may not communicate outside of this thread while the game is running. If someone contacts you outside of the game, please let me know immediately!
   
4. Do not quote any private communication to which you have access. This includes game-related PMs, instant messages, and QuickTopics. Quoting time stamps from any private communication is also forbidden. Paraphrasing is okay.
5. If it is not visible to the naked eye, do not post it. This includes, but is not limited to: invisible text, tiny text, encrypted text, and text hidden within tags. Spoiler text, however, is allowed, as long as it is used within reason. For cases of breadcrumbing where you aren't sure, please PM me beforehand.
6. If you have the ability to edit your posts, don't use it in my game.
7. Purple
   is reserved for the moderator. All other formatting is fair game with the provision that you do not impersonate me. Seriously. Don't do it.

Activity

1. Prods will be issued to players if they have not posted within a 48-hour period; they will have 24 hours to respond in the game thread before I search for a replacement. I will also send reminders on request as long as at least 30 (1 Day, 6 Hours) hours have passed since the player's last post.
2. Players who have been prodded 3 times are subject to replacement without further notice. Player-requested prods do not count toward this total.
3. If you anticipate being away for at least 48 hours, please PM me or post a V/LA notice in the thread with the expected date of your return.

Days and Nights

1. Days have a fixed duration of 3 weeks. Nights have a fixed duration of 3 days. Deadline extensions will be granted only in extreme circumstances.
   
2. Lynches occur through simple majority (50% of living players + 1, rounded down). If no majority is reached at deadline, plurality rules will apply. Once majority is reached, no further votes or unvotes will count.
   
3. Votes and vote revocations must be bolded (e.g.,
   Vote: numberQ
   and
   Unvote
   ). Unvotes are preferred but not necessary when switching votes (e.g.,
   Unvote, Vote: numberQ
   ). Use of the vote tags (e.g., VOTE: numberQ) is optional.
   
   
4. All players, including the lynched player, are allowed to discuss in twilight phase until I post the death scene. Dead players may make one "Bah!" post that contains no game-related content.

Moderator Actions

1. Flavor is for entertainment purposes only and has no significance in the game.
2. For minor questions or vote count errors, please bold your concern in the thread. For all other issues, use PM.
3. Pretending to break the rules or exploiting loopholes in the rules will be considered breaking the rules.
4. Any situation not covered above will be handled on a case-by-case basis.

Game Specific (aka, don't skim over this)

1. Every town player has 2 Wish Muffins with which they can make wishes.
   
2. The Anti-Fairies cannot make wishes. At night, they can make one factional kill. Alternatively, the can backfire 2 wishes, which will reverse the wishes effect.
   
3. Wishes cannot target more than one person (e.g., “Kill the entire mafia team.” or “Investigate everyone in the game.”).
   
4. Wishes cannot have a vague recipient (e.g., “Kill a mafia member.” or “Protect someone who is going to die tonight.”). You must specifically say who you’re targeting.
   
5. Wishes cannot instantly end the game (e.g., “I wish town wins.”). If the wish only has a side effect of ending the game, such as killing the last remaining mafia member, this rule obviously doesn’t apply.
   
6. Wishes cannot permanently give someone an effect (e.g., permanently death-proof, permanently lose your vote). For the most part, if giving someone an effect is involved, I’ll only allow it for one day. For the most part. ADDENDUM: You may change your role or someone else's role permanently, but only to a certain extent. Most modifiers are only allowed to be 1-shot.
   
7. No wishing for more wishes. That’s just plain wrong.
   
8. No wishing for a better tasting muffin.
   
9. You cannot wish to know the intentions of another person's post. I don't have that much faith in my abilities to gauge intentions.
   
10. Wishes must be made at night.
    
11. Wishes cannot affect the mod (e.g., telling me to say something, or restricting my posts in some way).
    
12. Only one wish can be made per night.
    
13. Upon death, Jorgen comes and takes all your remaining Wish Muffins, so you can't make anymore wishes. The Fairies have to conserve their magic somehow, right?
    
14. In the end, I have full discretion over whether or not I’ll use a wish. If I don’t use a wish because of something not included in the rules, I will update the rules accordingly. I’ll also tell you I won’t use the wish and give you a chance to come up with a different one, so don’t be afraid to try.
    
15. All wishes will be resolved simultaneously just before the start of Day. Natural Action Resolution will be used, though in that case of more unorthodox wishes, I'll have to use my best judgment to decide what order they go in.
    
16. Most of all, be creative! Think outside the box. Go wild. Etc.

Please PM me if you need clarification on anything in the rules.

Biggest rule: Mafia is just a game, so play to win, but more importantly, play to have fun!

You cannot wish to know the intentions of another person's post. I don't have that much faith in my abilities to gauge intentions.

[-]

Wishes must be made at night.

[-]

Wishes cannot affect the mod (e.g., telling me to say something, or restricting my posts in some way).

[-]

Both wishes can be used on the same night, but if you are targeted to be backfired, both wishes will be backfired.

Also, you may have noticed the pound signs in the title. This is because I don't think I had the right game number earlier. It'll be changed as soon as I hear back from the list mod.

We should claim our rolenames

[Balrog]

Alright, here's how this game can play out. We all have 2 wishes. We can use them in the same Night phase. We all use our wishes on Night 1 to Cop the person above and below us on the player list. This will result in an instant town victory. Backfired Cop results will provide an innocent result on the player they were used on, and using both of our wishes on two different people removes any possible outliers of the scum being able to hide, unless all three of them are in a row on the player list, which would just be silly.

So, here's the Night 1 plan:

-L- Cops Vifam and adorkable
adorkable Cops -L- and Balrog
Balrog Cops adorkable and Benmage
Benmage Cops Balrog and captaineddie
captaineddie Cops Benmage and Human Destroyer
Human Destroyer Cops captaineddie and kiwieagle
kiwieagle Cops Human Destroyer and Klick
Klick Cops kiwieagle and MrZephyr
MrZephyr Cops Klick and PeregrineV
PeregrineV Cops MrZephyr and Sanjay
Sanjay Cops PeregrineV and Seanald
Seanald Cops Sanjay and Vifam
Vifam Cops Seanald and -L-.

This is effectively playing the game in a fashion similar to Texas Justice Mafia, where everyone Vigs the person below them, resulting in about a 70% chance that the town will win. However, our chances increase substantially because we're not Vigging everyone and everyone will get an opportunity to post their results. It shouldn't be hard to discern whose wishes backfired based on who was Nightkilled, so we effectively have the game won by Day 2.

Alternatively, we could all use one wish to Cop the person below us and then take turns reviving dead townies, but that just seems lame and inefficient, especially since we'd have to coordinate who's wishing so as to make it effective (thus using 3 wishes a Night just to revive one person) and we could really only revive 3 townies that way, anyway. It just seems like a poor use of resources.

Any takers on this game-winning plan? Or would you guys prefer to play it in a manner that doesn't allow us to win instantly? I'd have suggested a mass Vigging but that just seems silly, given that we will literally end the game on Night 1 (unless, again, the scum are all in a row on the player list) with everyone dead.

There's no sense in lynching toDay if we opt to go with this plan, as it decreases our resources.

[Balrog]

Also, each new rule regarding wishing is a result of questions I asked Q.

[Vifam]

I really don't wanna be chained down

[Balrog]

*Backfired wishes will result in an opposite result, is what I meant to say.

[Balrog]

I really don't wanna be chained down

Is this directed towards my plan?

[Vifam]

Yeah it is

[Vifam]

I guess it was too much to ask to be completely reckless with my wishes

[Balrog]

So you are disagreeing with the greatest chance the town has to win on the premise of, "I want to make silly wishes"?

[Vifam]

Yes

[Vifam]

It'd be a lot more fun

[Balrog]

Cool, we found our first scum. Thanks for volunteering to die.

[Vifam]

lmfao

[Balrog]

Compelling rebuttal.

[Benmage]

At work, can't post.

Didn't mod say something about not gaming the game... Sounds like Bal's gaming.

Cause that or something very similar was exactly what I was thinking as well.

[Vifam]

I'm just not interested in a game where everyone just follows some list , I'll do it but I won't enjoy it.

I wanted spontaneous disorderly wish making

[Balrog]

What benefit would that be to the town, Vifam?
