Open 443: Attack on the Ice Cream Convention!
In a bustling town on the coast of a far away country, a wondrous convention is being held! Every year, enthusiasts of every kind of icy, creamy dessert come from miles around just to participate in the town's Ice Cream Convention! The festivities are always a blast: from "Bobbing for Ice Cream Cones" to Ice Cream-themed game booths and rides, everybody always has the time of their lives! Many of the more enthusiastic participants even dress up in giant costumes mimicking their favorite variation of the illustrious "Dessert of Honor." It's always a happy, positive, fattening experience for all involved. Why, the last time anything even remotely unpleasant happened at this occasion of sugary goodness and kind-heartedness was when a European couple came dressed as a Gelato and a Sherbet...they were promptly thrown off a nearby cliff for what was seen by the town as sacrilegious lactose intolerance.
But all that is about to change. This year at the Ice Cream Convention, there's already been one murder and you know there will be more.
Maestro Mod - Melted Pregame
Several members of the European Mafia have come to the city and might be planning on exacting a bloody vengeance on the town for the murder of their Gelato-loving comrade and his wife. Meanwhile, the howls from a nearby forest alert the Townspeople gathered at the convention that an ancient sect of Ice Cream-loving Werewolves has also set its sights on the Convention, and might be closing in. In fear of these Werewolves, the Townspeople tried to lockdown the fairgrounds until the danger passed, but a few Werewolves and Mafiosi might've made it inside the perimeter, along with the Town Cop and a local Seer. Everybody's there, hiding right in the middle of an entire town full of innocent people. For the few people left at the Convention, a fearful Day dawns. All dressed in stark-white Vanilla Ice Cream costumes, they slowly begin to debate amongst themselves who must stay and who must go, as the sun climbs higher and higher into the sky...
This game uses the Carbon-14 Open Setup. Please refer to the link for any questions.
I had to rewrite that whole post from scratch because I accidentally deleted my Post 0 from the other thread...kill me now...
SPECIAL NOTE: Several players have asked that the previous iteration of this game not be mentioned and that all content from it be disregarded. Because the Roles have been reset, I'm inclined to say that this should be common sense since nothing gleaned from the other thread could have any validity here except by coincidence. My final word on any and all subjects mentioned in or being part of the old thread is that you are free to decide for yourself what to do and what not to do in this game. I will inflict no punishments or take any such action for anything other than what is explicitly stated above. I apologize for any inconvenience or oversight; that is all I have to say about the matter.

If you are known for ruining mafia games, I will support your lynch regardless of your alignment because you are not a good addition to the game.
If the majority of the players are willing to play the game with Drmy, I guess we can allow him to play. It depends on how the others see it.
I'd like everyone to answer the following questions:
1) What was the reason for the previous game falling apart?
2) Who were the two players who were modkilled?
3) In your opinion, who was responsible for the state of that game?
Everything else I am willing to allow, but I would point out that these exact questions are things which have no relevance to this game. I have taken all blame for the situation that occurred in the last iteration of this game. Only I know the players that would've been Modkilled. Please do not continue this line of questioning, it is not "in the spirit of the game."
If we are all agreed that drmy is the one responsible for ruining the game as well as general troll-like behavior that he committed in that game, there is no reason to allow him to play another game and put up with such behavior (game breaking, trolling). At that point, I would suggest policy-lynching.
If everyone else agrees that drmy is a valuable contributor to this site and is in no way responsible for ruining the past game, I will withdraw my vote and settle for having minimal contact with the offender.
Just bringing this to people's attention, merely for informational purposes. While I know now it is not my place to interfere in how you wish to play the game, it seems that the majority of the playerlist wishes to ignore most (if not all) of what occurred in the previous iteration of this game. Please respect the decision of those who wish for this to happen by trying to play accordingly. Thank you.

Maestro, I suggest you prod people and replace them for inactivity if necessary.
This will be my last post until Techno, Dermy, Mala, or Grey post.
Your "suggestion" is noted. Please read the Rules in Post 0 of this thread to get an idea of the site standards and guidelines that all players must adhere to.
This section is of particular relevance:
The Rules wrote:[12]
Prods will be sent after 48 hours of inactivity.
Weekends are counted as 24 hours for reasons that should be self-explanatory. If someone needs to be prodded and I have not notified the thread that this has occurred, you may double-check with me/request one by sending me a PM or a bolded post in-thread.
[12.5] Do not ask for prods before the official 48-hour mark if you do not want to receive an angry, in-thread reply post from me.
[13] If you require a 1st prod you must respond in-thread within 48 hours before I start searching for a replacement. If you require a 2nd prod, you will only have 24 hours to respond before I start searching for a replacement. If you require a 3rd prod, I will start searching for replacement immediately.
Please
DO NOT
ask again for me to send out prods before the 48-hour mark. This is earlier than many Mods would even consider - TeChNoWC is correct in his comment. This is one of the fastest-moving MafiaScum games I have ever participated in or even read. In addition, I don't know what Time Zone you are in, but I am running on Eastern Standard Time in the Atlantic United States. It just struck 3 AM here. Please maintain a sense of other players' habits and priorities, whether or not they match up with yours should not be a matter of discussion.
That being said, you are free to request prods after the 48-hour mark if I have not notified the playerlist in-thread that they have been sent.

In post 180, rapidcanyon wrote:I don't buy this behavior from the mod. You are correct in that you have mentioned it in the rules that prods will only be given after 48 hours of inactivity. However, an "angry" in-thread response is unwarranted especially to a player who came in as a replacement.
You could just as easily have PM'd me about it.
This game is so irritating that at some point, I was continuing to play just so I don't let you down.
So, feel free to replace me.
Please refer to the PM I have sent you.
I have now started to search for a replacement.
~Maestro
Just kidding! I hadn't yet and don't need to. Hooray!
...This is my way of saying that rapidcanyon will not be replaced. Rejoice quickly and carry on.

In post 313, Om of the Nom wrote:Gunny, since you're the only one around here that is both voting Whiskers and also has a brain, I'm asking you to unvote Whiskers until the mod gets back to me on something.
If you're curious as to what I need the mod to get back to me about, it does have something to do with whether I stay in the game or not.
Still, thanks for unvoting. At least someone on the Whiskers wagon has common sense.
RC, seriously shut the fuck up. If I were a vig, I would have vigged you, regardless of if you were confirmed or not.
This was out of line. Private communication with the Mod (which may or may not even exist) should not be used in-game to facilitate an agenda, such as getting a player to UNVOTE. This is an official warning for what I consider a borderline infraction of The Rules.
Another such borderline infraction of ANY RULE by ANY PLAYER will result in an automatic Modkill and a Day End.
Keep this in mind as this game continues forward. Carry on.

Due to ongoing communication between the Open ListMod Hoopla and myself, I have felt it necessary to remind all players of this rule for various reasons that need not be specified. Please note that the decision has been made to DENY any requested force-replacements of players who have not heinously abused the game and/or its players. Thus it should be implied that I (and Hoopla, for that matter) do not believe any player has crossed this abuse threshold at the present time.
Also: /replace-outs are, at this stage and if inspired specifically by player-vs.-player interaction, DISCOURAGED.
No changes since last VC/VC update. Carry on.

Given the above, and not even considering the other behavior that has been exhibited by rapidcanyon during the course of this game, it is unreasonable to expect me to simply force-replace him...however...
In post 573, drmyshotgun wrote:R.I.P Rapidcanyon. Melted by the Moderator.
Mod, please replace Canyon not Modkill him. Please?
Fine. But I gave simple instructions and more than enough warnings.
rapidcanyon is hereby being force-replaced. The thread will be locked pending a possible replacement's confirmation and to prevent abuse by the force-replaced player. Now searching for a replacement for rapidcanyon. I may have a possible replacement lined up already, but I need to check to make sure he is still available.

@Mod: I grew very sick after donating blood. I'll be V/La for few days. With 1 player not playing to his full, it would be unfair for the other players. Feel free to replace me.
Noted.
Due to the plurality of the V/LA's occurring in conjunction during the course of the next few days, no prods will be sent for any players for the next (expired on 2012-08-28 21:00:00). This should give all players who have recently posted V/LA in-thread enough time to post after their V/LA ends. However, Siveure DtTrikyp's previously posted V/LA tag should end tomorrow - he will be prodded at the appropriate time.
This way, we know who was in what slot. I'm in another game with many of these players and I'd like to be able to look at the list and understand who is who.
I have been doing this in the "Alive" list in Post 0, but I will do so in all future VoteCounts as well. Thank you for your input.

Searching for a replacement for Greywing.
Mehdi2277 replaces Greywing effective immediately, before I even had time to post in the Replacements thread or update my sig.
Please welcome him and disregard my previous statement about not sending prods till Tuesday.
All players who have not posted V/LA will be prodded at the appropriate time. Carry on.

Sorry this took so long, everybody.
I am considering all of those posted V/LA's Null and Void based on the amount of posting you have all been doing. All players will now be prodded for inactivity at the appropriate time. Also, I hate to do this, since I let it slide earlier, but consider this the reminder referenced in the rule below.
be at the beginning of the line. (This makes it easier for everybody, trust me.) I will send out reminders/warnings for votes that are not specifically tagged as such during Day 1, but I will not do so after that point. Any votes that are not specifically tagged after Night 1 will not be counted.
...
No other untagged votes or unvotes will be counted after this VC.
Why exactly am I scum, Mehdi?
Funny how most of your reads + reasoning for them have bounced off me. Am I scum helping town?
You copied my reasoning for town-Siv.
You copied my reasoning for possible town-Mala.
You regurgitated my inno-direction plan.
If my defence is 'null', how am I more likely scum than drmy?
In post 718, Siveure DtTrikyp wrote:I don't think the whiskers/tech being the only scumteam left is a false dilemma. It's PoE.
Whiskers/Tech scumteam is the most unlikely pairing, and that's without looking at my role PM. I jumped on the Whiskers wagon with little to no reasoning, all to get an inno-direct. So, I was going to lynch a scumbuddy for nothing and get no cred for it? And ask for a townie to possibly become confused?
In post 761, Eidolon wrote:Okay. Grey was my strongest scumread before and i don't like medhis jump on tech. (notice tech & grey were my two main scumreads in my initial post)
That being said, drmy's play was baad. bad bad.
tech how is drmy playing to his scum meta? could you find me an example?
But i don't think drmy would sheep medhis vote if they were BOTH scum.
Ugh fuck. That means Siv/Shotty/Gw replacement are remaining scum
In post 784, Whiskers wrote:
Now we're waiting for a CC from Med, or Shotgun, but I don't think there will be one.
Also, I just noticed. My last vote was here: post 378 on page 16. Yikes! And it was a vote for Malakittens. Mod, please correct me if I'm wrong.
That was over 15 pages ago-- but, that's who I would vote right now, so.
You are correct...I don't know why I had you voting Eidolon.
