UK Eastermeet 2022 Invitational

By ChannelDelibird
Executive Setup Consultant: Patrick


After two years of postponement due to Reasons, the UK Eastermeet finally reconvened for its eighth instalment in April 2022. Eighteen humans converged on Chestnut, Oak and Birch to share a week of board games, murder mysteries, escape rooms and camaraderie. Twelve of them now return to relive that fateful week through the medium of forum-based mafia. Also, Nexus is in this game.

The Rules

(The twisted and mangled remains of what used to be SpeedyKQ's pristine set)

Rule 0: Don't be a dick.
Please keep this in mind throughout. I am the final arbiter on dickishness, working from a baseline of 'I'll know it when I see it'. If you think that you might be about to be a dick, check with me before posting. Punishment may vary depending on extent of dickishness.

[1]
You MAY NOT directly quote communications from the mod or from any private topic to which you have access; always paraphrase. If you are ever unsure as to what is acceptable, ASK ME FIRST.
[2]
I would prefer for you to vote using the vote tags (example: VOTE: Patrick) but bolded text (example:
Vote: Patrick
) will be counted if it is at the start of a new paragraph.
[3]
You don't have to unvote before you change your vote, but I'd really like it if you did. (example: UNVOTE: Patrick, VOTE: inspiratieloos)
[4]
You may not discuss the game outside this thread unless your role permits you to do so. The only possible such permissions involve the use of any mod-created private topics. If someone approaches you to discuss the game outside of such a private topic, please report it to me.
[5]
Once you are dead, you may not post. This means no "bah" post.
[6]
If you wish to end the day without an execution you may VOTE: No Execution. A majority of these votes is required to end the day without an execution. You cannot attempt a Leap of Faith in this game; this game is guaranteed to have at least one player who would cause town-aligned players to lose through such a manoeuvre.
[7]
Days will be deadlined to 10 days each. This deadline will not be extended for any reason other than a Mafiascum server crash or similar.
[8]
Nights will be deadlined to 72 hours each. Actions submitted after this deadline will not be counted. If I have received all necessary player input by the 48-hour mark, I will end the Night early at that point. (Exception to this rule: Night 0 may be deadlined to a less round number in order to set up a more convenient timestamp for the beginning of Day 1.)
[9]
Be respectful to your fellow players, bearing in mind Rule 0. Attack the play, not the player. If you can't keep personal insults out of it, I don't want you in my game.
[10]
Cyphers, invisible type, small letters or other similar techniques to conceal the content of your posts are forbidden. You're not obliged to say anything that your fellow players can
understand
, but they do have to be able to
read
it without making an unusual effort.
[11]
Players will be prodded if they go 48 hours without posting, having not previously informed me of a V/LA period. If I do not hear back from them such that I am satisfied that they will return to posting imminently, I'll consider them to have left the game. If that happens, I will try to replace you, but I reserve the right to modkill if it's the best choice for overall game health.
[12]
I am the mod, fallible though I may be, and my word is final. I will do my utmost to act in the spirit of the game and, if you want to address something with me beyond things like vote count mistakes, I'll listen - but please do so via PM. In the end, however, I have the final say.
[13]
The tags are mine. Do not use them.
[14]
Play to your win condition.

An example of what a Vanilla Townie role PM looks like in this game can be found below:
Sample Vanilla Townie Role PM wrote:Welcome to the game,
Patrick!


You are
Max Wisely Deciding Not to Play in This Game, Vanilla Townie
.

Forum mafia? In 2022? Are you out of your mind? I mean, have fun, but no, not for me, thanks. Oh? I could be the fake role PM that gets posted at the start so that scum know what town PMs look like? OK, I could agree to that.

Here's how your role works:
  • Vanilla Townie:
    You don't have any special abilities. Just do your best.
Your win condition:
All anti-town players are dead and at least one town player is still alive. (An "anti-town player" is defined as a player whose win condition requires one or more town players to be dead.)

I wish you good luck and a fun game!

Special Rules Reminder


A lot of us are massive olds who haven't played a forum game for a long time, so it bears repeating:

The word 'lynch' is not to be used to describe the death of a player during the Day in this game. Such deaths will be referred to in this game as 'executions'.


Mafiascum's grace period for getting this wrong is, as I understand it, officially over, although I will be understanding if mistakes happen. That said, each and every time that such a mistake happens, I will edit your post to correct it (clarifying that I have done so in an ooc addendum at the bottom of the post) and PM you to gently badger you about it. Every time. Gosh, you'd get so annoyed at the sheer sight of me. Best not to let that happen, eh?

I also recommend that all of you make sure that you have fully read the rules in the first post, even if you’ve played a million games before. Some of us are new and some of us are rusty. Let’s just be sure that we all know where we stand.

Roles are going out and
Night 0
is beginning! Please confirm to me that you have read and understood your role PM (if not, now’s the time to ask me any questions). Assuming that all players confirm promptly, Day 1 will start at 7pm UK time on Monday 18 April.

Time until Day 1 is due to begin: (expired on 2022-04-18 19:00:00)

I am missing one confirmation (but that's the bank-holiday weekend for you; I'm chasing up). We'll go ahead and start Day 1 regardless. If the player in question was required to make any choices during Night 0, those choices were made randomly.

Dawn of Day 1


Everyone gathers in Chestnut Lodge for a fun day full of activities. Except... oh.

CDB is dead.


Your beloved moderator has been compromised to a permanent end. This seems like the work of a cult, so you're probably looking for multiple killers. Better get on that.


That's not the only thing happening at the lodge today, though...

A Codenames board has been set up.


Image

Unless you've been told otherwise by PM, you can't interact with this right now.


Ten candles are burning.


They look to have been lit very recently.

Unless you've been told otherwise by PM, you can't interact with this right now.


The Cockroach Poker deck is missing six cards.


Three stink bugs and three scorpions have been taken out of the box.

Unless you've been told otherwise by PM, you can't interact with this right now.


Everyone has a potato.


You're not entirely sure where the potatoes came from, but you
are
starting to get hungry.

Every player starts the game with 1 potato. At the start of Day 2, every living player must eat a potato. Any Town-aligned player who is unable to eat a potato at that time (i.e. doesn't have at least 1) will immediately die.


During Day 1, you may pass around your potatoes if you wish. To give somebody a potato, write "
Pass Potato to [Player Name]
" on a separate line of text so that I can see it clearly.
No player can hold more than 2 potatoes at any time.


Once potatoes have been eaten at the start of Day 2 and any starving Town players have died, all potatoes will be confiscated and this mechanic will cease to exist. So if you want to engage in tuber-based shenanigans, Today is the day to do it!


McMenno and Primate are your Consuls today.


You will not be voting for an execution Today. (Will you ever? This is me explicitly not answering that question.) Instead, McMenno and Primate have been chosen as your two Consuls.

Either of them may, at any time, post
Nominate: [Player Name]
, naming a player that they would like to be executed. The other Consul must then either post
Execute: [That Player]
or
Veto Nomination
. If the player is executed, then the Day ends immediately with their death. If the nomination is vetoed, the Day continues.
Once a player has been nominated once by a Consul, they may not be nominated again (even by the other Consul) for the rest of the Day.
If the Consuls do not agree on an execution before the deadline hits, nobody will be executed Today.

Consuls, please post your nominations, executions and vetoes on a separate line of text so that I can see them clearly.


Oh, and one more thing...

A Tall Man in a Small Room


Shanba
is not in this game, but has permission to post in the game thread and pretend that he is.

To be clear, Shanba has no information about the setup, no incentive to care either way who wins and loses, and no mechanical effect on the game. He cannot vote or die or do anything else that real players do. He can pretend to vote (if a Day ever happens on which voting is necessary), but I won't count it. No player may target him with any ability because he is not in this game. He does not have a potato. He genuinely has permission to post, but that's the extent of the joke.


You have 10 days. Here's your deadline: (expired on 2022-04-28 19:00:00). Good luck!

So it's probably not a bad discussion starter: can anyone do anything with the stuff in the opening post?

I genuinely guffawed so loud Mel had to come check as to what was so funny.

10/10 on the memes George.

Well, this is a lot weirder than I was expecting. We probably should go for some form of potato-based justice.

Post #4 is everything :D thank you CDB, it was worth joining the game just for the enjoyment I got out of that.

Just to let you all know I thought my role is a bit dubious and if I have to claim I'm not sure it will be believed? Although now I've read the intro to the game perhaps that's not such a worry.

The fact that there are potatoes in addition to consuls does give us an opportunity to get round what is the one downside of king/consulmaker which is that non-consuls can sometimes be less engaged.

For that reason I suggest that we vote for whom to depotato.

Vote: Bellaphant

Nomination


Primate has nominated Bellaphant for execution.


McMenno is not obliged to decide immediately on whether to confirm or veto this nomination, but neither Consul may nominate another player until a decision on this nomination has been made.

Here's how many potatoes each player currently holds:

Bellaphant

1 potato
.
Cogito Ergo Sum
has
1 potato
.
cpol
has
1 potato
.
Fenchurch
has
1 potato
.
Klick
has
1 potato
.
McMenno

1 potato
.
mykonian

.
Primate
has
1 potato
.
Postie
has
1 potato
.
Takuma
has
1 potato

The potato rules:

  • At the start of Day 2, each living player must eat a potato. Any town-aligned players who are unable to do so (on account of not having a potato in their possession at the time) will immediately die.
  • At any time during Day 1, any player with 1 or more potatoes may post "
    Pass Potato to [Player Name]
    " on a new line of text. This will transfer 1 potato to the chosen player.
  • No player may hold more than 2 potatoes at any one time.


Time until deadline: (expired on 2022-04-28 19:00:00).
