Welcome to NewbieVille! You've been hearing the news lately, and it's been just about the same thing, day in, day out. Except lately, there's been a sudden increase in unexplained crime. You've been ignoring it for a while, figuring it would go away, but it's just getting worse. Suddenly, the town Council has convened an Emergency Meeting, and chosen nine exemplary townfolk (you included!) to serve as a Committee for Dealing With Stuff.
As a member of this Committee, you have been given the power to question everyone in town and to decide who among you has infiltrated the town in order to take over. You, as a Committee, have the power to lynch one person each Day. Good luck!
Please keep the game civil and avoid personal attacks. Use of homophobic, racist, sexist, or any other derogatory slurs will not be tolerated.
While this game is running, you may not discuss this game anywhere outside of the game thread unless you have been explicitly allowed to do so.
Do not quote any private communication, including game-related PMs, instant messages, and QuickTopics. Quoting time stamps from any private communication is also forbidden. Paraphrasing is allowed; quoting from public sources is also allowed.
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. For cases of breadcrumbing where you aren't sure if this rule would be violated, please PM me beforehand.
Do not edit or delete your posts.
Do not use
Bolded Blue
.
For minor questions or vote count errors, please bold your concern in the thread. For all other issues, PM me.
Exploiting loopholes in the rules or pretending to break the rules will be considered breaking the rules.
Flavor is for entertainment purposes only and has no significance in the game.
Activity
Prods will be issued to players if they have not posted within a 48-hour period. Players who have been prodded have 48 hours to respond in the game thread before a replacement is sought. For purposes of activity, Saturday and Sunday will be considered a 24-hour period.
Players who have been prodded 3 times are subject to replacement without further notice.
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
Days will have a deadline of two weeks, and Nights will last 72 hours. Deadline extensions will be granted only in extreme circumstances.
Lynches occur through simple majority (50% of living players + 1, rounded down). If no majority is reached at deadline or there is a majority of votes for No Lynch, Day will end without a lynch. Once majority is reached, no further votes or unvotes will count.
Votes and vote revocations must be bolded (e.g.,
Vote: PlayerName
and
Unvote
). Unvotes are helpful but not required when switching votes (e.g.,
Unvote, Vote: No Lynch
). Use of the vote tags (e.g., VOTE: PlayerName) is optional.
All players, including the lynched player, are allowed to talk in twilight phase until the thread is locked, at which point Day ends. Dead players may not post until the game has been officially declared over.
Actions not received by deadline will be considered forfeit. Actions may be submitted ahead of time and can be changed as many times as desired; at deadline, the last valid action that was submitted will be used. Actions may be submitted via PM or QuickTopic.
Any situation not covered above will be handled on a case-by-case basis. I reserve the right to add, modify, or remove rules as necessary. I will notify you of any changes in the thread.
Please PM me if you need clarification on anything in the rules.
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. For example Row 1 (1 jailkeeper, 1 vanilla townie, 1 mafia goon) would add an additional 5 vanilla townies and 1 mafia goon, for a total setup of 1 jailkeeper, 6 vanilla townies, and 2 mafia goons.
*Roleblocker will take precedence over jailkeeper when resolving night actions should that apply.
But you've probably played with Nacho before. You've played a whole ton, Nacho's played a whole ton, there is no doubt you two have met before. Kenobi, however, has only played one game before, which was Silph Co. Reverse Mafia. Nacho was not in the list of players for that game.
In addition, we have

As reason to believe Nacho scum.
You guys can go ahead with that RVS stuff. I certainly won't.
Also how the **** do we still have only 6 confirms?

Feel free to PM about what it's like back in the PF realm.
It happens sometimes. Some people sign up and then flake out. If they do not respond within two days of receiving role PMS, the mod will replace them. Those types of replacements tend to fill fast because it is almost like being there from the beginning, no predecessor to deal with.
I'm actually kind of buying into Tony's take though - I certainly am buying it enough to not defend them myself and want to see their reaction. You're supposed to let the scumhunting flow, not jump in and try to derail the paranoia before it gets to a simmer.
Well I can see this has taken off rather spontaniously. I'll have to read over the nacho/kenobi scumteam thing because I'm a bit confused so for now I'll just add what I thought right away then.
My initial suspicion is on Tony. As soon as we both confirmed he posted this:
It seems as if he is trying to solidify himself as town straight out of the gate by outright calling himself town. Plus my suspicion intensified once I saw that he had decided to begin the game before it has even begun with the whole Nacho and Kenobi thing.

I could not have explained it better than that Squirrel Girl quote.
I think conman's town, though. He may be scum hunting in the wrong places, but at least he's scum hunting.

RachMarie. She has her confirmation post and the post about replacements, but that's it.
Kenobi. The thing where I called him scum was just a misunderstanding. I looked on his oldest page of posts and saw Silph Co., so I assumed he hadn't played any other games.
Maafia_don777. No posts yet
Ember. No posts yet.
homosapiensapien. No posts in thread yet. Has confirmed though, which is good but null.
RachMarie, homosapiensapien, I'd like you two to share your thoughts.
Also, homosapiensapien, would it be fine if we called you HSS?
