Mini 1597: Runecast Mafia

Moderator: fferyllt
Backup Moderator: Cabd

The reader sits before the low table, tensely shifting the drawstring bag from hand to hand. The contents click and slide as the bag is turned over with each shift. She pauses and sighs, head tilted as though listening for something. Another deep breath, and the tension's release is almost audible. She drops the bag onto the table. A single flat stone falls out, onto the cloth scarves covering the tabletop. The upward facing side of the stone is blank, like a blind eye staring upwards.

It is early morning. Distant thunder rumbles, suggesting the gods are at work, moving lives about much like blind stones in a black bag.

This game will be in the form of a runecast. Each player is a unique rune stone. The stones will fall upon the table as the game progresses from day to night and back to day. The meaning of the runecast will become a little clearer as each new stone is revealed by lynch or by night kill.

Voting and Deadlines:

1. Voting must be bolded in the form

Vote: Player

or VOTE: Player, or else they will not be counted. Unvotes are not required to change your vote, but they are helpful.

2. I don't mind if you use nicknames/abbreviations when you vote someone. But if I have no idea who you're voting for, then the vote won't be counted.

3. Lynches require a majority of votes: (numberoflivingplayers/2) +1, rounded down.

4. If there's no majority at deadline, there's no lynch.

5. When the hammered vote is cast, it is officially twilight. All players may continue to talk about the game, but no votes/unvotes will count after a majority vote has been reached.

6. After you are lynched or night killed, you may make one "bah" post with no game-relevant information on the following game day. Nothing more.

7. Deadlines are set at two weeks and extensions will only be given in the event of site down time or a player replacement occurring within 3 days of deadline.

Prods and Replacements:

1. Prods will be given if you do not post in 48 hours. Weekends count as a single full day in determining if a prod is due.

2. You will be replaced if you either do not respond to a prod, or need to be prodded more than 3 times total. You may request for a player to be prodded at any time, but the less you request, the happier your mod is. Prods requested when a player has been absent for less than 48 hours do not count for replacement purposes.

3. If you're V/LA, make sure I know. If you are V/LA for more than a week, I'd suggest requesting replacement, but that's not required. If a lengthy V/LA is adversely affecting the game (e.g., if you are not able to post minimally during that time), then your mod may replace you.without penalty.

Misc.

1. Dark Blue (#004080) is the color I will use for mod posts. Please don’t use this color or otherwise try to make your posts look like mod posts.

2. You can talk about the game in the private threads given to you via PM. Otherwise, please refrain from talking about this game outside of this thread, and don't talk about other games inside of this game thread. This is a sitewide rule.

3. No editing, deleting, using invisible texts, etc...

4. Don't quote or talk about any mod-recieved PMs. Your flavor is for you to enjoy and you only until the end of the game.

5. I make mistakes. Show me them where you see them.

6. Questions are vastly preferred over Modkills. If you're about to do something that you're unsure about, then tell me about it first and I'll let you know if it's ok.

Please note: I am using an automated vote counter to generate the vote counts. There could be a glitch here or there. Please let me know if you notice any votes that are missed or incorrectly assigned.

[fferyllt]

Role PMs will go out in the next 2-3 hours.

I'll update this post as the game approaches "Go".

Role PMs are out. The game will start when I have at least 10 confirmations via PM.

Current confirmation count: 11 of 10.

Game on!

VC 1.0

I remember yet
the giants of yore,
Who gave me bread
in the days gone by;
Nine worlds I knew,
the nine in the tree
With mighty roots
beneath the mold.

Day 1 Begins!

[hiplop]

i only have one vote silly and your avatar is pretty

[Ansuz]

i only have one vote silly and your avatar is pretty

Let me tell you a story, hiplop. There once was a man playing the game of Mafia with his best friend, who we will call Desperado. His best friend has intuition, a feeling, votes. Now this man sees his best friend's intuition nudging him forward, but also without evidence and also while Osseus's seductive siren call sings him elsewhere. Now, the man is ready to split off into his own, ready to adventure the world as a pioneer, as a trailblazer, but suddenly, Desperado's intuition proves more on point than the man is willing to admit when the target of the intuitive thought busts into the thread screaming "lynch me, lynch me!". The man wants to move, wants to go his own way, but the devil on his shoulder isn't big enough to overpower conscious. Do you understand, hiplop? You're making me do this and it isn't fair

[Konowa]

Konowa is confused. Can Ansuz explain for the feeble minded?

[TunnelMates]

hi guys

[TunnelMates]

I may or may not be doing a ffery impression

[HighShroomish]

VOTE: TUNNELMATES

Because tumbling is too mainstream and also I still remember the Micro

[Ansuz]

Konowa is confused. Can Ansuz explain for the feeble minded?

I think what Nacho was trying to say is that he planned on moving our vote but then hiplop strode in carrying an enormous neon sign that read "I'M A SCUMFUCK" so he can't in good conscious vote for anyone else.

[LynxKuroneko]

Voting for someone who's name is based on the theme? That's rather funny!

I'll have to

Vote: Burning_Earth

. I feel his moniker is a threat to our very being.

And it reminds me of Scorched Earth, a known threat in Android: Netrunner.

Reasoning and logic; because what else is there?

[Kthxbye]

VOTE: d3x

In other news this:

hi guys

I may or may not be doing a ffery impression

...is scum posting uncomfortably during RVS.

UNVOTE:
VOTE: TunnelMates

/sigh...too easy

[LynxKuroneko]

So the point of voting twice within one post?

Perhaps the need to seem like there's a gear turning in there?

Ether you're trying too hard, or not hard enough.

But I love your avatar; so I won't dig into your mind just yet.

[Kthxbye]

It's a d3x thang

[LynxKuroneko]

Ah, I see. I am new to this community, and this sport (of sorts).

I have done some research; the competition is ruthless at times.

Is it truly appropriate to make decisions in one game based on another?

Or is that done, "for fun"? Fun. What a strange concept.

[Konowa]

Konowa is all about the awkward tell during RVS, kthx. However, can kthx explain how kthx thinks that is scum posting "uncomfortably"?

[HighShroomish]

This has to be one if the strangest RVSes I have ever seen.

[d3x]

/sigh...too easy

Way too easy.

Do this instead.

Vote: hiplop

It's such a good feeling...

[gameplay506]

VOTE: Kthx
Ugh yeah what's the point of making a vote, removing it and making another vote in one post?
