Open 195 - Vengeful Mafia - Game Over

No Good Place to Die

Open Mafia 195 - Vengeful Mafia

Damn fool situation you got yourself into, son.

Rosie’s was a dive,
A run down piece of Hell
And no good place to die.
Corpse of a tin can diner car with no rail in sight
Cracked faux leather elegance, dirty,
Palpitating neon lights hissing in the dark
Like chipped glass jewels on a bitter old whore.
She squats by the muddy highway east out of old Chicago
Out, ‘cause no one wants in these days.
Out of town, out of jurisdiction
Out of sight, out of mind
Out to Brazil the boss laughs, hollow,
Or maybe back to bella Italia.
Rosie’s was a dive,
A run down piece of Hell
And no good place to die
But the don stopped for a midnight meal
Out of rain and thunder
Middle of escape, stopped, a greasy nickel burger and a two bit joke
To prove he didn’t run in fear.
November rain cold like your grave
And thunder crashed down
The heat pulled up in black Deville’s, angry, determined
Steel eyed men of justice.
Rosie’s was a dive
A run down piece of Hell
And no good place to die.
Hold on, ya damn fools,
The marshal roared like a god
Pound of boots, cigarette butt, tarnished badge,
Ain’t nobody gotta die tonight.
A pause like three minutes forgot to end
Quiet like the world forgot to breathe
Then Bloody Mick Johnson flicked his grease gun
Finely tooled machinery of death
Hypnotic drum roll gunpowder rhythm
Dropped men dead til the beat clicked empty
And every Fed left skinned iron
To put the mad dog down.
A shock of sudden violence, primal thrill of murder
Bodies slap the floor like wet meat
Lights had the decency to die with their steel eyed betters
Just darkness left, stillness and five poor bastards
The drip drip drip of blood and patter of rain on broken glass
Desperate panting breaths, prayers,
Each man looked to shadows
Wondering which were there to kill him.
Rosie’s was a dive,
A run down piece of Hell
And no good place to die
But them men
Them men were made for killin’.

Game Play and Netiquette

1. Participation in this game is a commitment and a responsibility. Please take it seriously and be considerate to others. If you plan to be gone longer than 72 hours, please post a bolded notice in the thread.
   
2. Everyone deserves respect. Personal attacks will not be tolerated. These include disparaging comments on race, religion, age, gender, orientation, or similar characteristics. I will only moderate politeness in the thread for extreme situations, but keep in mind it’s just a game and act accordingly.
   
3. This is an open game with a public format. All the roles will be posted below, and may be quoted as desired.
   
4. Players should not discuss the game outside the thread unless their roles specifically allow it, and then only in the quicktopic linked in the role message. Quicktopics will be linked publicly after the game is completed.
   
5. This game will start with a Day phase. This game is Nightless.
   
6. You should aim for one post every 48 hours, minimum, to keep the game moving.
   
7. Day One has a four week deadline. Subsequent days will have three week deadlines. Extensions are given only in extreme circumstances.

Voting, Deadlines and Death

1. More than half of all living players must vote on one victim for a Lynch to occur.
   
2. Votes should be bolded and unambiguous or they may not be counted, and should be in the format
   Vote: PlayerName.
   
   
3. Vote revocations should be bolded or they may not be counted, in the format
   Unvote: PlayerName
   or
   Unvote
   ). Unvotes are not necessary before changing votes, but are appreciated.
   
4. You may
   Vote: No Lynch
   - a majority of these vote types will end the day without a lynch.
   
5. If a simple majority is not reached at the deadline the result will be determined by the largest number of votes. If there is a tie, the result will be counted as a No Lynch.
   
6. Once players have reached a majority no further voting will be counted for that day. After this point and before the end of the day – “twilight” – discussion may continue, including the victim. I will post the final count a few hours before revealing the victim’s role, to allow for any last minute corrections (which will have to be sent via PM, as the thread will be locked).
   
7. Dead players may make a single “good game” style post, but may not discuss game topics or reveal game information.
   
8. If a Vengeful Townie is lynched day one, they have 72 hours to post their kill, in the format
   Kill: PlayerName
   . They may post normally in the game until this point, but may not post afterward.

Mechanics

1. Blue
   text is reserved for Moderation commentary. No invisible or small text is allowed.
   
2. Vote counts will be posted at the top of each page.
   
3. If you have an issue with the game, please message me privately. The game thread is not a forum for complaints.
   
4. I may make mistakes, and I appreciate being politely notified. Mistakes will be corrected where possible, but sometimes mistakes are made that cannot be reversed. These will stand as final to be commiserated over after the game.
   
5. Please bold any comments requiring my attention.
   
6. Inactive players will be prodded after three days without posting. A player who has been prodded three times may be replaced without further notice. If I fail to notice an inactive player, please notify me.
   
7. Rules violations will be dealt with according to their severity, up to and including a Modkill. Modkills will not take the place of any normal game mechanics.
   
8. Any situation not explicitly covered above is subject to moderator discretion and will be handled as I see fit on a case-by-case basis.
   
9. If you anticipate being unavailable for more than a 48-hour period please post a notice to that effect in the thread. Treat this game as a commitment. Be considerate – don’t leave us hanging.
   
10. Flavor text is just flavor. Any names or descriptions will be inserted randomly to protect the guilty.

There are three Vengeful Townies

You are a

Vengeful Townie

. You must rely on your wits and vote to succeed. You have one special ability: if you are lynched on the first day, you may shoot another player and kill them by posting

Kill: PlayerName

within 72 hours.

You win with town when either both of the mafia players are dead or the godfather has been lynched. Good luck!

Please confirm in thread.

There is one Mafia Godfather

You are the

Mafia Godfather

, along with your Goon, PlayerName. Once you confirm your role, you may speak in this quicktopic as long as you are both alive; however, you may not communicate about the game elsewhere (via PMs or on another board, for instance). If you are lynched then the town will win the game; if you are shot, however, your partner will continue on.

This game is nightless, and you have no way of killing other than voting.

You win with mafia when at least half the remaining players are mafia and nothing can prevent the same (such as the vengeful kill). Good luck!

Please confirm in thread.

There is one Mafia Goon

You are a

Mafia Goon

This is terrible timing. I'm going to be V/LA for up to a week. I'll try to post, but we'll see how limited I am.

Understood; see you Monday. -EB

Mod: Replace out

Roger that; seeking a replacement. -EB

[semioldguy]

Me giving a random fabricated reason for my vote wouldn't change the fact of who I am voting for. Even at random it's a coin flip as to whether I am right or not, it is good to see reactions to a vote rather than pittering around random or nonsensical reasons for early votes. So far I like where my vote is.

Also now having only three of the five of us currently active sucks.

True that it would not change your vote, but I find that discussion usually comes from one of these small little comments attached to the random vote, not just a vote in itself. By giving a small reason, regardless if it is random, allows the person in question something to react to.

[animorpherv1]

Weh, I'm replacing Annachie. I've read my role and I understand.

animorpherv1 replaces Annachie, effective immediately (thank you!) -EB

You can't unvote when your not voting.

[mikeburnfire]

I just did. Eat it

[Ellibereth]

Ani got owned.

[semioldguy]

@mikeburnfire
Your vacation is now over but your limited access is just now beginning tomorrow? I'm confused. Also, if you are not certain you'll be here or have internet access to get here, do you think it wise to place a second vote on someone right before leaving? (yes, I am aware that my vote is there as well)

@kunkstar
Why did you feel you needed to give a random reason rather than just a vote and why that reason? I don't need a rehash of post 16; a lack of reason can generate discussion just as well as a random reason.
