Inorganic Chemistry [GAME OVER, SCUM WIN]

Inorganic Chemistry

Inorganic chemistry is the study of the synthesis and behavior of inorganic and organometallic compounds. This field covers all chemical compounds except the myriad organic compounds (carbon based compounds, usually containing C-H bonds), which are the subjects of organic chemistry. The distinction between the two disciplines is far from absolute, and there is much overlap, most importantly in the sub-discipline of organometallic chemistry. It has applications in every aspect of the chemical industry–including catalysis, materials science, pigments, surfactants, coatings, medicine, fuel, and agriculture.

Many inorganic compounds are ionic compounds, consisting of cations and anions joined by ionic bonding. Examples of salts (which are ionic compounds) are magnesium chloride MgCl₂, which consists of magnesium cations Mg²⁺ and chloride anions Cl⁻; or sodium oxide Na₂O, which consists of sodium cations Na⁺ and oxide anions O²⁻. In any salt, the proportions of the ions are such that the electric charges cancel out, so that the bulk compound is electrically neutral. The ions are described by their oxidation state and their ease of formation can be inferred from the ionization potential (for cations) or from the electron affinity (anions) of the parent elements.

RULES (please, please, please, read these)

*shamelessly stolen from StrangerCoug and modified*

1. This is a semi-open setup.

2. The preferred voting method is to put vote tags around the player's name, but I will still accept the old method of bolding the word "vote" followed by said player's name, e.g. VOTE: Antiheroor
Vote: Antihero
. As long as I can tell to whom you are referring, spelling does not count and I will accept abbreviated or otherwise shortened forms of the name of the vote's recipient. If you want to change your vote, it would be cool if you unvoted first, but you don't have to. You may also VOTE: No Lynch, unvoted the same way as before.

2a. If you're in a hydra account, votes from your individual account will not count. Similarly, if you vote an individual head of a hydra, the vote will not count. This rule is NOT to be used for late game "trick vote" shenanigans.

3. A majority of votes is required for a lynch, even at deadline. Once a lynch has been decided, it is final and further votes and unvotes do not count for the current day. If deadline is reached with no player having enough votes for a lynch, the day ends in an automatic No Lynch.

4. Day 1 will have a 21 (real) day deadline. Day 2 will have an 18 (real) day deadline. Subsequent days will have a 14 day deadline. I reserve the right to extend this deadline, but play like I won't (because I probably won't).

5. I'll give you one "bah" post after you die. But it has to be funny. It also can't contain anything game-related. The first post will contain a link to the dead thread. I will players access as they exit the game.

6. Don't be a (too much of a) jackass. Please, let's keep the lynching and killing of each other from becoming personal.

7. You may post in any color that can be easily read against the forum background other than
dark red
. That color is mine.

8. Unless you're the moderator (that's me), please do not delete or edit any posts in this thread.

9. You are not allowed to discuss this game outside of the thread unless I tell you otherwise, nor are you allowed to discuss other ongoing games in this thread. This one is a big deal to me, just don't do it. I don't care if you're dead in that game or you think it won't affect the outcome of that game; no making references to ongoing games (vague or otherwise).

10. Do not quote or pretend to quote any private communication, either from me or from anyone else you are allowed to talk with at night. You are allowed to paraphrase, but you are not allowed to plagiarize. If in doubt as to your paraphrase's legality, PM me with the wording you want to use.

10a. No private communication without my explicit permission. PERIOD. You can talk in the private threads I give you, that's it.

11. I will issue a prod to any player that does not post for 48 hours without notifying me of his or her absence. (I'm sorry, but I do not check the V/LA thread. If you do not tell me to do so, neither will I check your signature.) If you are prodded, you will have 24 hours from the time of submission to post in thread. Failure to do so may result in replacement. Keep in mind that I have the board time down to the second. I will only prod the same player twice—after that, he or she must post every 48 hours to ensure that he or she remains in the game.

12. I am not God. If I make any mistakes whatsoever, please let me know.

12a. That said, I am God. I have the last word. That means if I eject you or modkill you, DON'T MAKE ANY MORE POSTS IN THIS THREAD. I don't care if you agree with my decision or not. If you want to rage about it, write me a PM or take it up with a list mod.

13. Please don't fish for modkills (just one of my personal pet peeves). I'm going to be really annoyed if I see someone saying "OMG, Player A made one word dark red, MODKILLZZ."

14. I'd love for everyone to play the game to completion, but if you get hopelessly behind, get sick, or fall into a giant chasm of doom, please feel free to request replacement. I'm not going to blacklist you, or talk about you behind your back, or give you a glare every time I see you.

15. The most important rule of all, saved for last for what I think is a very good reason: This is a game. HAVE FUN! Enjoy! And good luck!

16. Hahaha, made you look. Loser.

THE SETUP

There are
two factions
in this game. A
town (13 players)
and a
mafia (4 players)
.
Everyone's roles are inorganic or organometallic. All the
town
role compounds/elements contain metal whereas the
mafia
role compounds/elements do not.
There are three inventors in this game. They may or may not be all of the same alignment and there may or may not be other power roles in the setup.
Inventors can grant other players one-shot abilities. Inventors will use their action during the day and it will resolve at twilight, before the flip.
Inventors' targets will be informed of their abilities at the beginning of the night. Their ability is one shot and must be used that night. These abilities are also "free". That is, they can be used in addition to a power role the player may have. Should a player receive multiple abilities from inventors s/he may use all the abilities.
Days will be a minimum of 72 hours. Should a majority be reached in less time than that, the day will be locked and there will be a 24 hour delay between the locking of the thread and the flip.

Town Win Condition:

You when when all mafia-aligned players are eliminated.

Scum Win Condition:

You win when mafia make up at least 50% of the living population.

SAMPLE ROLE PM'S

SCUM

Helium-3 (He-3) is a light, non-radioactive isotope of helium with two protons and one neutron. It is rare on Earth, and it is sought for use in nuclear fusion and fourth generation nuclear weapons research. The abundance of helium-3 is thought to be greater on the Moon (embedded in the upper layer of regolith by the solar wind over billions of years), though still lower in quantity (28 ppm of lunar regolith is helium-4 and from one to 50 ppb is helium-3) than the solar system's gas giants (left over from the original solar nebula).

The helion, the nucleus of a helium-3 atom, consists of two protons but only one neutron, in contrast with two neutrons in common helium. Its hypothetical existence was first proposed in 1934 by the Australian nuclear physicist Mark Oliphant while he was working at the University of Cambridge Cavendish Laboratory. Oliphant had performed experiments in which fast deuterons collided with deuteron targets (incidentally, the first demonstration of nuclear fusion).

Compound:
Helium-3

Alignment:
Mafia

Teammates: X, Y, and Z
Role:
Vanilla

Private Topic: Link

PRIMORDIAL NUCLIDE
: Mafia have a factional kill and can talk in the private topic.

Win Condition: You win when mafia make up at least 50% of the living population.

TOWN

Palladium is a chemical element with symbol Pd and atomic number 46. It is a rare and lustrous silvery-white metal discovered in 1803 by William Hyde Wollaston. He named it after the asteroid Pallas, which was itself named after the epithet of the Greek goddess Athena, acquired by her when she slew Pallas. Palladium, platinum, rhodium, ruthenium, iridium and osmium form a group of elements referred to as the platinum group metals (PGMs). These have similar chemical properties, but palladium has the lowest melting point and is the least dense of them.

Over half of the supply of palladium and its congener platinum goes into catalytic converters, which convert up to 90% of harmful gases from auto exhaust (hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen dioxide) into less-harmful substances (nitrogen, carbon dioxide and water vapor). Palladium is also used in electronics, dentistry, medicine, hydrogen purification, chemical applications, groundwater treatment and jewelry. Palladium plays a key role in the technology used for fuel cells, which combine hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricity, heat, and water.

Compound:
Palladium

Alignment:
Town

Role:
Vanilla

HYDROGENATION
: You have your vote and your voice. And 48 hours to chill at the end of every day.

Win Condition: You when when all mafia-aligned players are eliminated.

Hey, everyone.
This time, let's NOT lynch me.

Because I swear to you, I'm organic, just like last time!

...Wait.

mastin2 · Post Post #23 (ISO) » Mon May 25, 2015 9:48 pm

(No, but seriously, lynching me D1 is a bad idea. It really would be fitting for the game, sure, but objectively it'd be godawful.)

(Not that that'd really STOP you guys from lynching me ANYWAY given MY luck.
