DEADLINE: (expired on 2013-10-05 00:00:00)


On the west coast of the good old U.S. of A. exists a sleepy little retirement community called Cabbagetown. Known for its pleasant weather and amazing reception, former professionals stressed out by their exhilarating jobs move there to forget their hassles and watch reruns of their favorite television programs on Netflix.

Or at least they did, before a trio of villagers fed up with the paralyzing influence of the telly on their town pledged to pick off their apathetic neighbors one by one.

Now, the people of Cabbagetown have no choice but to locate the murderers and execute them. Will the Cabbagetownites remain in their syndicated stupor? Or will the anarcho-luddites finally power down the telly monster? Stay tuned to find out.

PLAYERS:


DCLXVI
TMTOLBTWNTOF

Saki
Venrob

RULES:


Generally speaking, this here list of generic Mafia rules applies to everything.

But there are some things it doesn't cover that I feel the need to quote.

- Although I seriously doubt ANYONE is going to do this-- don't write in
weir
dly
co
l
ore
d te
xt.
And if you have to, make sure it isn't in green and bolded
like so
. If I have to edit your posts I'll be doing so with that formatting.
- Note that if the actions of one of your fellow players are making you uncomfortable, I advise you to tell me via PM so I can have a chat with that person.
- Please use the VOTE tags when you vote.
- You don't have to write out the exact username of the person you're voting for as long as it's clear who you are voting for. VOTE: TMTOLBTWNTOF, VOTE: TMT, and VOTE: that kind fellow with the very long difficult to pronounce name that starts with a T are all acceptable ways to refer to TMTOLBTWNTOF when you vote for him because there's no question as to who you're referring to. VOTE: T isn't because you could be referring to him or Taskmaster. VOTE: Tittymuffins isn't because that's just silly.
- If you make a post like this:
V nz n 2-fubg ivtvynagr! V nz whfg cbfgvat guvf abj fb gung yngre V pna yvxr lbh gb ebg13.pbz naq unir yrtvgvznpl sbe zl pynvz jura V znxr vg yngre guvf tnzr!
I will kick you from the game. I don't personally endorse breadcrumbing of the "I Always Make A Decidedly Obnoxious Case" variety, but there's no problem with it. Trying to breadcrumb through cryptography is for cheatyfaces.
- PM me if anything comes up, especially if it might compromise the secrecy of your role. Posting your questions in the thread is fine, but there's no guarantee I'll notice it in that case.

SET-UP:


This game uses the Diffusion of Power set-up. The MafiaScum wiki can explain it better than I can.

A TL;DR explanation of the format is as follows: everyone except the three mafia goons are either docs or cops, but they can only use their power on one night, decided randomly before the start of the game. (The odds of two players getting the same night of activation and role are about 99%, incidentally.) The mafia is aware of how many cops and docs there are, but not who has what role and what night they can use it.

Voting will work as follows: if a majority is not reached prior to the end of the day, no lynch will occur by default. A "majority" for the purposes of this game will be defined as when over 50% of the players have their votes on a particular individual. For example, if there are 10 players alive, it will take 6 votes to lynch, not 5 (as that would make exactly 50% of the town in favor of a lynch, when more than 50% is needed for a lynch.)

[http://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?tit ... ever_after]Happily Ever After[/url] IS an option, and will trigger after 3 consecutive nights without a lynch or successful nightkill in the interest of avoiding a stalemate.

The people of Cabbagetown arose at 8:00 exactly-- as that was the time Good Morning America aired. As the program saluted not only them but the entire country, they felt it their patriotic duty to tune in every Monday and begin their week. Their enjoyment of the high quality program was rudely interrupted by a shrill screech which resonated through the village like a harmonic oscillator.

"HOLY FUCK, THE MAYOR'S BEEN EATEN!!"

The townsfolk turned off their tellies and traveled to the Town Square to determine the truth of the thunderous utterance.

Image

Why yes indeed-- Voodoo Lady, the beloved Mayor, had been eaten. Her exsanguinated entrails were wrapped around the statue of Philo Farnsworth, and a note was nailed to her corpse.

Dear Cabbagetown,

Every day you stupid sheeple allow yourselves to be brainwashed by the boxes in your homes. The omnipresence of television in this community has reduced its inhabitants to mindless sheep incapable of living normal human existences. Case in point-- Voodoo here used to be a fearless politician who worked tirelessly for the welfare of her people. Now all she does is hole up in her office glued to her telly and watching reruns of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. She lived wanting to better the lives of everyone under her jurisdiction. She died reduced to tears by the implausibility of a fulfilling relationship between Zander Harris and Willow Rosenburg, head submerged in a carton of Cherry Garcia. What a waste of a life.

We fear it is too late for you, so we'll get around to brutally murdering all of you at midnight, one by one. In the meantime, enjoy your syndicated television, morons.


The crowd remained silent, until eventually a voice rang out from the crowd.

"The fuckers didn't spell Xander's name right!"

The outraged townsfolk began shouting orders of increasing incoherence, culminating in the conjuring of a smattering of execution tools. The people of Cabbagetown were going to avenge Xander, no matter what it took.

And their dead mayor too I guess.

Confirm vote venrob (this is now a serious vote)

methinks the top line is a bit of an overreaction to being voted during rvs.

and yes I saw your meta but it was good enough of a reason for a second rvs vote since my first rvs vote sucked.

RVS votes aren't truly random, and proclaiming that your vote is completely random serves no purpose but relieving the voter of responsibility.

Incase you didn't notice everyone i've voted so far is NOT AN ACTUAL PLAYER. It is random cuz it has nothing to do with the game at all, or is there a player in this game named Xander Harris? That was a reference to the flavor post. The spongebob/patrick hydra named Mr. Krabs was 100% random.

As for the 'overreaction' mentioned above, "Look at mah other gamz i alwyz post bloo!" is a special type of mafia play. It is known as....
JOKING!!!!!

So, I FOUND SCUM! Imma vote the scum I found.

VOTE: Voodoo Lady
If you was eaten it would have to be Donnor Party setup, in which case I got the wrong role.... So lynch teh mod!

Incase anyone is trying to get serious on me, don't. I never tend to do this type of play as town or scum, I WANT TO PLAYNAND JOKE FOR THE REMAINDER OF RVS. If that is not okay with you, then modkill youself or have SpongeBob SquarePants replace you.
