Setup and Sample Role PMs:


This game is utilizing the Open Setup
White Flag. This setup derives its name from the special
White Flag
mechanic. This mechanic means that the town wins when only one member of the Mafia team remains alive, as opposed to the traditional win condition of completely eliminating the entire Mafia team. You can read a brief bit about the mechanic here.

The setup is as follows:

Roles:

3 Mafia Goons
10 Vanilla Townies


Mechanics:
White Flag


Sample Role PMs:


Vanilla TownieWelcome, [Player Name], you are a
Vanilla Townie.


Abilities:

Your weapon is your vote, you have no night actions.

Win condition:

You win when only one Mafia Goon remains.

The game thread is here.

Please confirm you received your Role PM by replying to me with your Role, Alignment and confirmation that you understand the setup. Please also confirm that you have read and understand the rules, and will abide by them.



Mafia GoonWelcome, [Player Name], you are a
Mafia Goon,
along with [Player Name] and [Player Name].

Abilities:

- Factional Communication: During the night phase you may talk with your partners in the following PT: [PT Link]
- Factional Kill: Each night phase your faction may choose a player to kill. You may submit this kill either directly to me or via your factional PT. In the case of multiple kill submissions, I will use whichever was sent in last prior to the night timer expiring.

Win condition:

You win when all members of the town have been eliminated or nothing can prevent this from occurring.

The game thread is here.

Please confirm you received your Role PM by replying to me with your Role, Alignment and confirmation that you understand the setup. Please also confirm that you have read and understand the rules, and will abide by them.

  • GENERAL RULES
    (Borrowed from various folks and adjusted to my prefernces. No sense re-inventing the wheel).

    1) All sitewide rules apply. Read them here
    2) Please treat this game as a commitment to the other players and to yourself to have fun. Be active and have a great game.
    3) You may not discuss this game anywhere outside the game thread unless specifically allowed by your role PM. In such case, a PT will be provided and you may not discuss your game outside the game thread and/or the PT.
    4) Be civil and treat other players with respect--attack the case, not the person. Mafia is a heated game, but I will interfere if anyone resorts to excessive insults, personal attacks, and bullying. There is a zero-tolerance policy against offensive comments or slurs based on race, gender, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, etc.
    I prefer to keep my hands off, but if you cross the line, I will not hesitate to take action. Please do not force my hand.

    4a.) If there is an ongoing violation of Rule #4, please contact me via PM instead of commenting in thread. I receive PM notifications to my phone and will respond as rapidly as possible.
    5)
    This nice Orange
    and
    It's Bolded Variant
    are my colors in this game.
    Bolded Pink
    is reserved also to highlight announcements and any changes to deadlines. Please do not use these colors. Any use of these colors or attempt to impersonate the mod may result in an immediately mod-kill.
    6) Quoting or pretending to quote your role PM, PTs, or private communications with the mod is strictly forbidden. Loose paraphrasing is permitted. If in doubt, check with me first.
    7) Punishment for breaking any of the rules here listed, or exploiting any loopholes may include a private or public warning, force replacement, modkill, or even blacklisting, at my discretion. You have been warned.
    8) If you have any minor questions or spot a vote count error please bold your question or concern in the thread addressing me (@ Mod). I will do my best to ensure things are smooth and there are no mistakes, but don't hesitate to say something if you catch a mistake.
    9) If you have outside information that influences your knowledge of the game, are aware of someone else having outside information, or have any reason to believe that the game has been compromised, it is your responsibility to inform the mod via PM immediately. The best policy is to be honest and let me handle the problem.
    10) Please also PM me for any other concerns not listed above.

    VOTING/LYNCHING MECHANICS


    11) For your vote or unvote to be counted, it must be completely bolded, and use the format Vote: PlayerName/Unvote: PlayerName or VOTE: : Playername/UNVOTE: Playername (capital letters and colon optional). Any other variation (such Hammer: PlayerName) will not be counted.

    BBC CODES you can use (just type them the same way replacing PlayerName with the player of your choosing:

    Code: Select all

    [vote]PlayerName[/vote] or [v]PlayerName[/v] 


    12) Votes for misspellings or acronyms of players' names (such as VOTE: Playrname or VOTE: PN) are valid as long as I can tell whom you intend to vote for. If I am not sure, I will not count the vote. You are not required to unvote before changing your vote. However, votes that are behind spoiler tags, in small or invisible text, or otherwise concealed are invalid.
    13) You may vote for a No Lynch using the voting parameters listed above.
    14) A lynch will occur when 50%+1 of the votes are cast for the same player; a No Lynch will occur wen 50% of the votes are cast for that option. When this has happened, any subsequent votes and unvotes will not be counted, and the game will enter twilight.
    15) You may continue talking after a lynch or deadline has elapsed until the mod posts to end the day. After that, you may not post even if the mod forgets to lock the thread.
    16) I will try to post a vote count at least every other page, or every 48 hours (whichever happens first). Vote Counts will be provided by player request as needed.

    ACTIVITY AND DAY/NIGHT PHASES.


    17) Days will have a deadline of (2) two weeks. Deadline extensions will be granted only in extreme circumstances, and will never exceed one (1) week of the total length of the day phase.
    18) Night phases will last for forty eight (48) hours.
    19) If a replacement is needed during a night phase, I will extend the night deadline until some time after a replacement is found, regardless of whether that slot has a night action.
    20) In order for night actions to be accepted, they must be PMd to the mod or posted in bold in scum PTs before the deadline is up. If multiple actions are submitted, I will use the latest one that was posted or sent prior to the deadline.
    21) Players will be prodded after forty-eight hours without posting. They may also request prods on other players so long that player has not posted for a reasonable amount of time. All prods will be announced in thread.
    22) Players who do not respond to a (non-player-requested) prod within twenty-four hours or need to be prodded too often will be replaced at the discretion of the mod.
    23) If you will be unable to post for over forty-eight hours, inform the mod by PM or in the thread of when you'll be V/LA. Assuming the V/LA period is of reasonable length, you will be exempt from prods during that time. All V/LA notifications will be made public by the mod.*
    24) Once you're dead, you may no longer post in thread.
    No 'bah' posts.

    25)
    The Scum PT will be shared after the game. The scum team should bear this in mind.




Most importantly: let's have a great game!

On this day in 1943, Adolf Hitler declared "Total War": to many historians this represents the seminal moment when the eventual fate of the Axis powers was sealed. Will this date prove as auspicious for our valiant town, or will the Mafia succeed with their declaration of "Total War"? The outcome is in your hands. That outcome, whatever it may be, is hidden away in some moment yet future in time.

Given that this setup is white flag, what do you think of bussing in this game? Will scum do it? More importantly, would you do it if you were scum?

White Flag Gambit
Yeah, scum might do it. I probably wouldn't actively push my partner, since a successful bus puts you immediately on the verge of losing each day. But if my partner was going down for sure, I would try to play it naturally, which might include bussing.

M8 if I were Mafia and it was down to 2 of us left I would definitely bus my partner. Bussing is a pro strategy.

I loathe bussing, I feel it is inelegant and I prefer to win perfect games. With that said, scum might do it?

What I'm interested in though, is why you're going out of your way to make us especially aware of the bussing possibiity, especially in a game where the setup is named after such tactics. Usually when someone pushes someone elss, it's because they believe they're on opposite teams, but here you're kind of making it seem like a push on someone is just as likely to be a bus attempt as anything else.

Hmm. I don't like the way I phrased the last sentencex but I think you know what I mean.

In post 10, SirCakez wrote:Cerberus, why no RVS?


I don't vote unless I have a compelling reason to. RVS is dumb, and I also find D1 to be rather uninspiring. I work off hard data that is, flips and dayplay/nightplay when taken in conjunction with the flips we have, to determine which players have taken lines which make compelling arguments that the are scum/others are town, so they must be scum through PoE.

Barring a need to absolutely push a lynch through towards deadline, or someone outright contradicting themselves, it's unlikely you'll see me put a vote down today or develop a hard read on anyone.

Not impossible, mind you. Just unlikely.

Good evening everyone.

VOTE: AlwaysInnocent Always innocent? I doubt that.

In post 7, NotAnAlt wrote:Given that this setup is white flag, what do you think of bussing in this game? Will scum do it?

I don't think the mafia are going to bus early in the game and it seems like a risky play with this setup. It just doesn't seem like a good strategy.

I can imagine a scum would try it if they are forced into defending themselves, it's always sweet to see how people react when they are put in panic :)

Ty. Ether made it for me.

NotanAlt, Strategy is wholly dependant on the board at the time. It's the abnormal strategies that catch scum. So, with all due respect, stop theory speccing. It's a waste of space in the thread and vote.
