Mini 426: Confusion In The Ranks Mafia [Stopped]

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

Confusion in the Ranks mafia

The human brain is a complex part of the body. One small flaw in it can result into disorders or even death...

“Hello everyone, and welcome here at beautifull beach of Hawaii!”
Twelve people look around, just to see that they are in the middle of the desert. “Sir, are you ok?” some of the people ask. “Of course I am, follow me!”

They follow him through the hot sands of the desert. The twelve people are units of the African army. They were transported to the desert to execute rebellions. What they didn’t knew, is that they were guided by a demented stranger... Or is he?

Rules On what is Allowable:

[01] This is only a game, and I expect everyone to remain somewhat civil (although I understand you are essentially a crazy, lynching mob). I will not accept excessive abuse upon freedom of speech: obscenity, profanity, libel, and fighting words will not be tolerated, and if you push it, I reserve the right to have you replaced. In other words, be respectful to all players, as well as the mods.
[02] Do not talk outside of this thread, unless your role PM explicitly says you may do so, and even then, you are restricted to night-time for all out-of-thread conversation.
[03] Do not edit or delete your posts in any way, shape, or form. Once you have posted something, it is there for good, unless I find reason to alter or delete your post myself.
[04] Do not quote your role PMs in any way, shape, or form. This also applies to night conversations. You may, however, paraphrase your PM at any time, but if you go too far, I reserve the right to either replace you or to modkill you should the situation warrant.
[05] Do not post in invisible text, excessively small text, or use [ color = black ] tags.
[06] You may request mod-prods, replacements, clarifications, and votecounts from me directly in the thread, but please precede such with a bolded Mod: So-and-so so that I will be able to answer you as promptly as possible.
[07] Once I have officially posted that you are dead, then you are dead. Do not post any relevant information to the game whatsoever. You are, however, allowed a typical “Bah!” post of some sort.
[08] You may talk during twilight about anything you wish.
[09] Do not question my decisions in-thread: if you have a problem with me, take it to Private Messages. You may, of course, post problems you see with my votecounts, but that’s about as far as I’ll allow things.
[10] You are allowed to have fun, and in fact, I heartily encourage it! This is a game! Play hard, play fair, and enjoy yourself.

Technical Rules
[01] Each day the town must decide on a lynch. Once a majority has been reached on a player, that player will be considered lynched, regardless of any subsequent unvoting.
[02] To vote for somebody, please use bold tags. For example,

Vote: KaleiÐoscøpe

.
[03] If you wish to unvote, I would appreciate a formal bold Unvote:

KaleiÐoscøpe

, although this will not be required.
[04] If the game lags, I will place a deadline, which may or may not be retractable. I will probably not let any day go past two real time months, excepting for if Mafia Scum crashes... again.
[05] If two or more players are tied for the most votes when a deadline hits, and they have garnered the required amount of votes to be lynched under a deadline, the player who reached that number of votes first shall be lynched.
[06] You may vote no lynch if you wish. A majority voting for no lynch will end the day, and the game will progress directly into night. To do this, simply

Vote: No Lynch

.
[07] Nights will last a maximum of 5 real-time days. If you have not sent me a night-choice by that time (should you have one), you will have a random night action.
[08] If you feel that you may not be able to post in-thread for a period of 72 hours or longer, please say so in-thread and send me a PM as warning. If I find it necessary, I will have you replaced, but I would much rather keep all players who sign up for any of my games.
[09] Any and all of these rules are subject to change at my discretion.

Concerning roles:
- No flavour will be added in the pm's so the mafia hasn't a disadvantage in this.
- Roles received will be confirmed via pm. I will not start the game before I've received a role confirmation from everyone.

Important other rulings

:
- When a person would be lynched or killed, it will not be revealed and the player can continue on playing.
- At the start of the game, a forensic role will be distributed among the players. This player can determine if someone is dead during the night. Players vote who can be the forensic at the start of the game, or when the forensic dies.
- If a player is dead but not yet declared dead, and that player has a role, that player can still send it in but it will not work.
- Dead players will not be informed if actually dead.
- Instead of lynching, you can decide to determine player X to find out if that player is dead. This ends the day. Votes this way should be phrased as "Determine: X", in bold.
- Votes of semi-dead players are still counted.
Any questions about this can be asked via the thread or pm

Alarm, alarm! The demented guide has been murdered. He use was our forensic who was capable of determining a corpse. We now need a replacement for him. People who want to be covering up his duty should post

Elect: XXX

in bolded blue letters. Who has the most votes at the end of the day will get the job.

With 12 players undetermined and capable to vote, it is 7 to lynch.

[al_kohaulec]

Vote: MoS

I don't trust MoS to be a forensic, he took too long to confirm.

So we can still unElect and such as though it were a regular vote, right?

[Snichkin]

vote: mustafa15

because I just voted him in another game.

[Snichkin]

unvote, vote:al_kohaulec

for posting 2 seconds before me and not letting me be the first to post.

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

Correct.

[dahen]

Elect: al_kohaulec

for being my favorite mod at the moment

[Snichkin]

I have some questions:
1) If we will lynch someone we won't know he died?!
2) what roles do we have and how many of them (especially - how much scumy roles do we have)?
3) Is someone semi-dead right now?
4) Is "Elect" choose someone to be forensic or to reveal if he is dead?
5) general explaination on the "red rules" might help.

[Vel-Rahn Koon]

1) Not until our Forensic Expert investigates that person, no.
2)This seems to be a Closed setup game, so we have no way of knowing. Best guess for scum would be 3-4, based on the number of players.
3)I would think not, but maybe this is better for the Mod to answer. We started in Day I think, so there was no pre-game Night phase for kills to occurr.
4)Elect is for us to choose someone to be the Forensic. Seems like we're going to do two sets of voting today: our first Lynch and our Forensic. Then the Forensic can start asking whether people are alive or dead tonight.

- Instead of lynching, you can decide to determine player X to find out if that player is dead. This ends the day.

This is interesting. Seems like we get an option other than No Lynch with this, although I don't see where we'd want to do this, since a No Lynch just helps the scum along, doesn't it? Would this also give us two Forensic investigations in one day - one from the vote and one from the Forensic we elect?

Vote: Mastermind of Sin

because it's too early in the morning to come up with a reason

[Snichkin]

thanks Vel-Rahn.
Is it means that a person should be "killed' twice?

[al_kohaulec]

unvote, vote:al_kohaulec

for posting 2 seconds before me and not letting me be the first to post.

OMGUS vote >_>


And thank you dahen.

I have some questions:
1) If we will lynch someone we won't know he died?!
2) what roles do we have and how many of them (especially - how much scumy roles do we have)?
3) Is someone semi-dead right now?
4) Is "Elect" choose someone to be forensic or to reveal if he is dead?
5) general explaination on the "red rules" might help.

Somebody else answered, but I might have some slightly different insight.

1.) They'll be lynched, but I'll assume there are roles that don't die off so easily, so they'll be either alive or dead.
If the player is alive, then they'll still be playing normally.
If the player is dead, then they'll still be playing normally until the forensic tries to find out if they're dead or not, in which case the person will be officially dead. Without the forensic investigation, the player will still be playing, but doing stuff like sending in a night target won't do anything. I'll try not to go into too much detail since it can be a little confusing.

2.) We do not know this yet.

3.)Nobody is semi-dead (unless if I'm misinterpreting what you mean by semi-dead). But we haven't had time to lynch anybody, and there have been no night actions taken yet. So so far nobody is semi-dead.

4.) Elect is choosing somebody to be a forensic. The forensic will almost be like a second role ability on top of his regular role. At night the forensic will target a player who has been lynched or nightkilled (or killed by other means) to see if they are officially dead. We are also able to check this during the day by giving up our lynch, which would be a good thing in some cases.

5.) You are free to ask the mod in thread or via PM. So I hope some of what I said makes things more clear for you so you know what to ask. I think I understand those rules pretty well myself, so I might try to help you understand them if you still have questions.



As for when I said checking to see if a player is dead in some cases. I'm assuming that if we've lynched the last mafiate, but he hasn't been declared as officially dead, then the game will still be going on. So if we're positive we have the last scum, we may want to use the forensic ability on that player rather than lynch a potential townie. This also goes for say, if we are positive that said player is the last scum, and if the lynch on him for some reason wasn't successful, then we wouldn't know until we checked to see if he was dead. If we only assumed it, and went on lynching more town, then the end result would be mafia winning.



@Snicken's last post.
It sounds like it's possible that people can die more than once, or even that one or more deaths won't actually kill the person.

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

I have some questions:
1) If we will lynch someone we won't know he died?!
2) what roles do we have and how many of them (especially - how much scumy roles do we have)?

4) Is "Elect" choose someone to be forensic or to reveal if he is dead?
5) general explaination on the "red rules" might help.

1. yes
2. no comment
3. no comment
4. elect means choose someone to be forensic. Revealing if someone is dead should be noted as determine: X in bold... I'll add that to the rules.
5. Feel free to ask things you don't understand... that was also in bolded red

[reliance]

Firstly, I have limited access on weekends, so don't expect a lot of posting then.

Secondly, you guys have some complicated names.

Thirdly,

vote Metatron

'cause I likes the cut of his jib.

[mustafa15]

This is going to be a confusing game

Random vote: reliance

because he is number 11 and 11 is prime.

We're going to run into lynching problems if the scum kills people and they lose their vote.

I think I'll

Elect Occult

because 12 is the best number between 1 and 12

[Metatron]

Elect:al_kohaulec

for running that awsome game a few days ago.

and

vote:Occult

for being in a cult, obviously.

[Metatron]

EBWOP: Were, that Cyan font should be blue. Woops.

[Occult]

Vote:reliance

Cause a bandwagon needs to start somewhere.

[Metatron]

Starting a Bandwagon on the first page is rather unneeded.

[chaotic_diablo]

vote chaoticdiablo

[Metatron]

Why the self vote?

[al_kohaulec]

He's scum obv.

And thanks for your interest in that mafia game. If you can contact me via PM or AIM or something, I really would like to hear feedback on the game. Likes/dislikes, etc. Ok, enough promoting my mafia game now . Back to the game.

[Metatron]

I liked it all, but think that it's better sutied to a 20+ game, with more strange roles, and maybe keep it more closed.

[DiamondHawk]

Elect: Snichkin

because he was the first guy to ask questions.

[Snichkin]

unvote, vote: chaotic_diablo

because a self voting is the most suspicious thing that happened so far.

elect: al_kohaulec

for making the impression of the smartest and themost experienest player so far.
