It's always the same. When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die. You don't know whose children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken. How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they're always going to have to do from the very beginning... SIT DOWN AND TALK!
1. All site rules apply.
2. Be nice. Mafia games can get heated but remember never to attack the person.
3. Play to your wincon.
4. Days are approximately 8 days long, nights are approximately 48 hours long.
5. Failure to post at least once every 48 hours will result in a prod. If you do not pick up your prod in 24 hours, or if I feel that your activity is low enough to be disrespectful to the other players, I will look for a replacement.
6. Please put votes in this format: VOTE: Something_Smart. Bolded votes are allowed (
Vote: Something_Smart
), but I'm more likely to miss them. In case you don't know, you can vote with:
Unvotes are not necessary to change your vote.
In addition, to vote for a player to receive the Beetle, use the heal tags, like so: HEAL: Something_Smart.
7. No vote trickery. Votes inside spoiler tags and obviously broken quotes will not be counted. Don't attempt to confuse other players over whether your vote was valid.
8. If more than half the players are voting for a player, then that player is hammered and removed from the game, and the day will end. If the deadline is reached before a hammer occurs, the day will end without anyone dying.
9. If you have a question for me, put it in bold and say
@Mod
or
@Something_Smart
. If it's not something you want made public, feel free to shoot me a PM. If you need me in a pinch, you can reach me on Discord under
Something_Smart#8109
(and the worst under
Tom#4827
).
10.
This spooky shade of orange (#4F2200) is the mod color.
Do not use it. Do not impersonate me.
11. Do not discuss this game in any other thread except in PT's created specifically for this game. Do not discuss any other ongoing game in this thread.
12. Do not quote any out-of-thread communications with me or with any other player.
13. Do not post if you are dead.
14. Do not pretend to break any of these rules. Pretending to break a rule is punishable just as harshly as actually breaking it.
15. My word is law. Just because it is not stated here does not mean that it is acceptable. I am generally a nice person, and will give you a warning if you do something I don't approve of, but it's always better to ask than risk the consequences (see rule 9).
16. The mafia have daytalk and may request a Discord server if they so desire.
17. This is an open setup. The setup is as follows:

Role PM's have been sent. The game will begin when 8/9 players have confirmed.
Confirmed: 8/9

Thank you all for coming here today. I trust you've all heard the sad news about Dr. Zenkava. We will keep the Doctor in our hearts as we hope for a speedy recovery.
In the meantime, we have a more pressing matter to discuss. As I'm sure you have all heard, the last Red-Horned Dung Beetle, which was being watched over by Dr. Zenkava, is safe and secure with us, but we cannot keep it forever. You are nine of the most respected and trusted minds within the entomology community, and so we need you to decide amongst yourselves who is to be the one to take care of it.
To be quite frank, we're scared. We don't know who is after the Beetle, but they've demonstrated that they're willing to go to great lengths-- even resorting to violence-- to acquire it. Be sure not to let that happen. We are counting on you!

Norwe is spontaneous, has a stream-of-consciouness posting style, usually posts on catch-ups by commenting on past pages posts, gets rather fired up in certain moments in games, is relatively as playful as me in games and likes casual shitposting
Reminder that votes to choose a caretaker of the Beetle are done using the HEAL: tags, independent from execution voting. This is also a majority vote; if a majority on it is reached, the chosen person will receive the Beetle, and then the day will continue (unless they were Mafia, in which case the game will end). If the day ends without a majority on it being reached, then no caretaker will be assigned.

VOTE: norwee I do not trust anime with bugs, something disgusting will hapen.
HEAL: bugspray
MY PRONOUNS ARE THEY/THEM
do not assume my posts follow coherency they do not imagine that every time i post i put half of my knowledge into a clone and then the clone murders me
if we give the bug to a random person today, we have a 2/9 chance of losing on the spot.
However if we simply don't give the bug to anyone and all the sentries either guard or steal the bug, we either get a confirmed inno sentry tommorrow OR the bug remains safe cuz sentries protected the bug?
We just need to tread carefully because if you slip up around her as scum she notices and will tear your spine out and slap you to death with it. (I'm slightly scared of Nancy)

In post 13, Herta wrote:I'm not getting involved in mech talk unless I have to.
-doesn't want to discuss mech
-votes only mech options
oooh, spicy? peppery? lemonly?
I'm more interested in your lack of execution vote, anyway.

Well, it would obviously be a huge mistake to rush the HEAL vote in any case.
Spoiler:
Btw, I voluntarily asked for a posting gimmick in the Speakeasy, so if you see posts from me where I type like this: !!! and I mean literally like that and/or use lots of ridiculous hyperbole and sound like I’m high on Ecstasy, you’ll know why.

except the sentries would all have to waste their 1-shot abilities which would mean scum win for free later.
totally missed that sentry abilities are one-shot.
big yikes :3
still think it makes sense for us to not give the bug away and have sentries take it - gives us conf town and then doctors can protect the outted sentry who is holding the bug no?
