Micro 566: WORD SNEAK MAFIA! (Game OvER!!!)

[Aeronaut]

~ Word Sneak Mafia ~

This is a normal, open game of Mafia! There is only one difference: WORD SNEAK! Each night phase, the mod will you give you a list of five randomly generated (but fair) words that you MUST try to work into your posts as seamlessly as possible. Then, during the day or night, send the mod the words that you think each person had. Whoever guesses the most words CORRECTLY gets an extra vote the next day phase. 6 VTs, 1 Cop, and 2 goons.

rules

Game-Specific Rules

1) Each night phase, the mod will you give you a list of five randomly generated (but fair) words.
2) You MUST try to work into your posts as seamlessly as possible.
3) During the next night, you will send the mod a list of words you think were given to each person to sneak.
4) Whoever guesses the most words CORRECTLY gets an extra vote for the next day phase.
5) If you fail to post all five of your words during a day phase, you will no longer be in contention for the double vote for that day.
6) In the event of a tie, both people in the tie will gain the double vote.
7) The double vote may be used anonymously if you so wish.
8) Because of this mechanic, there will always be one more vote in the game than there are people.

(Note: Technically, you can play this game without ever posting words or participating in the word sneak at all; however, you'll always have the disadvantage of someone else being able to double vote, as well as the fact that with the subtraction of your words, it will be that much easier for that to be attained.)

rules

General Rules

1) All sitewide rules apply. Read them here
2)

This

is my color. No using it under any circumstances, and no impersonating or pretending to impersonate the mod.
3) Play to your faction's win condition, as long as you do not break any game or site rules in doing so.
4) You may not discuss this game anywhere outside the game thread unless explicitly permitted to do so in your role PM.
5) Directly quoting your role PM, QT or private communications with the mod is strictly forbidden. Loose paraphrasing is permitted.
6) I expect every player to be civil and to treat eachother with respect. Mafia is a heated game, but I'll interfere if anyone resorts to excessive insults, personal attacks, or bullying.
7) No weird forms of encryption. Crumbing is perfectly OK.

Voting/Lynching Mechanics

I) For your vote or unvote to be counted, it must either be in the form of

Vote: Aeronaut

or VOTE: Aeronaut. Nicknames/abbreviations are fine as long as I know who you're talking about.
II) A lynch will occur when >50% of the votes are cast for the same player. (E.G. if there are 9 people left in-game, 5 votes insures a lynch)
III) You may vote for "no lynch" if you wish. If >50% of the players in the game vote for no-lynch, the game will progress to night without a lynch.
IV) Alternatively, if the lynching deadline passes and a majority of votes for one player is not reached, there will be a "No Lynch", and the game will progress to night without a lynch.
IV) If you are killed, you may make one tasteful "Bah" post, but it must 100% non revealing of any sort of game information, or anything of that sort. It must be a farewell only.
V) Twilight phase talking is allowed.

Activity and Deadlines

I) Each Day phase will last [number of living players + 4] days. For example, if there are 7 players left in the game, you will have 11 days.
II) Deadlines will be extended for replacement situations and exceptional circumstances.
III) Night phases will last for 48 hours.
IV) In order to be accepted, night/day actions must be PMed to the mod. If a player does not select one, he or she will default to "no action."
V) Players will be prodded after forty-eight hours without posting. All prods will be announced in thread.
VI) Players who do not respond to a prod within twenty-four hours or need to be prodded three times in a game phase will be force-replaced.
VII) If you will be unable to post for over forty-eight hours, inform the mod by PM or in the thread of when you'll be V/LA. Assuming the V/LA period is of reasonable length, you will be exempt from prods during that time. All V/LA notifications will be made public by the mod.
VIII)Please keep the game active! If you're in like ten other games and are planning on lurking through this, just replace out.

Other

I) I reserve the right to add, remove, or modify rules at any point of the game if it becomes necessary.
II) Pretending to break the rules is just as bad as breaking them, and will be taken just as seriously.
III) If you feel like I've missed something, or you feel I need to take action about something, please let me know in-thread or by PM.

[GuiltyLion]

Alright guys. Christmas season is over. Squirrel hunting season is over. Deer hunting season is over. Moose hunting season is over. Bear hunting season is over. Duck Hunt-ing season is over. Even Good Will Hunting season is over.

Now it is time for the best season of all, scum hunting season.

VOTE: TMWSTW cause that name is way too long

[Postie]

I see GL has come up with one possible strategy for this.

@mod

- Is there anything stopping us from just attaching a list of like 100+ randomly generated words to the bottom of every post?

[Wednesday_]

Has anyone played this setup before? I am unfamiliar with it. That is optimal strategy?

VOTE: tmwstw

Wagoning purposes

@prostie no vote?

[lilith2013]

2) You MUST try to work into your posts as seamlessly as possible.

I mean, I guess final decision is up to the moderator, but I feel like the thread would get pretty ridiculous if aero let us include lists of randomly generated words.

VOTE: Guiltylion

[Postie]

VOTE: Wednesday

For mispelling my name in a way that makes it look like a cute abbreviation for prostate.

[TheManWhoSoldTheWorld]

VOTE: TMWSTW Let's get this wagon going!

[GuiltyLion]

Oh god now I'm not only analyzing people's posts for scum motivation I'm also dissecting them for word sneak motivation

[TheManWhoSoldTheWorld]

Oh god now I'm not only analyzing people's posts for scum motivation I'm also dissecting them for word sneak motivation

Well, yeah, that's why we all signed up to play. However since I'm sure you already know that, I'm guessing at least one of your words is in this post.

[GuiltyLion]

Did you use one of your words in 10?

[TheManWhoSoldTheWorld]

I wanted to, but I have a mean word that I would have felt bad using.

[lilith2013]

... So why did you vote for yourself?

[TheManWhoSoldTheWorld]

You can't think of any reason?

I'm going to say no to this, because that just wouldn't be real fun. Feel free to make as many coherent ridiculous sentences as you'd like, though!

[Frozen Angel]

hello!

VOTE: Postie <- for trusting me in last game!

Bad way! Never trust people who get cray cray so damn easy!

[vandergeist]

VOTE: TMWSTW Let's get this wagon going!

I love it

VOTE: Frozen Angel for admitting she shouldn't be trusted, crazy or not.

[lilac]

Hey guys, can't wait to see how goofy this game will get.

VOTE: vandergeist

Nobody should be trusted in this game. There's nothing wrong with Frozen reminding us of this important lesson.

~ Fixed! <3 Aero

[lilith2013]

You can't think of any reason?

I can think of a few but they don't really make sense to me. I mean, the obvious reason would be to sneak in one of your words, but there are so few words in that post and they're fairly common, so I don't see why you'd have to self-vote in order to say them.

Well it doesn't seem to be working anyway so I'll just explain, a flash wagon is the easiest way to get us out of RVS, as it gives you a lot of reactions to read, the person being voted, the people voting them, and the people staying off the wagon will all give you something based on it being the biggest thing currently in the game. The wagon being on me gives the extra benefit of cutting out a third of the analysing, as I now know the alignment of the person being wagoned, meaning I now only have to places to look for scum. However besides you, no one seemed interested in discussing, probably because it's a gambit many have seen before. Lastly, and on the more scummy side, it gives me more direct control over my wagon. If I feel it's getting out of hand, or losing focus, I don't need to wait for a town player to help out, I can simply move my vote somewhere else.

So as it stands I'll VOTE: vandergeist

[Davsto]

Aeronaut has given me a

wonderful

set of words.
