The Bard has heard a distressing rumor. His plans for a summer full of play performances may come to naught at any moment. He's learned that a rival playwright has suborned a few members of the Globe Theatre Troupe who intend to sabotage the season's plays. You, his loyal troupe members must root out the saboteurs before it's too late!

Rules:

In-Game Behavior

1.

Site Rules are in effect. Please familiarize yourself and follow them.

2. Posts consisting purely of insults without game content are not tolerated. I penalize such posts with a strike. Three strikes and you're out. Severe issues will be reported to the listmods.

3. Claiming scum is allowed. Claiming scum with another player (whether as a joke or not) will result in severe consequences for you, and consequences for your team.

4. Play towards your win condition. Gambits are fine, directly harming your own team is not.

5. Loophole abuse is not tolerated.

6. Have fun!

Voting and Deadlines:

1. Voting must be bolded in the form

Vote: Player

- bold tags

Code: Select all

[b]Vote: Player[/b]

or

VOTE: Player vote tags

Code: Select all

[vote]Player[/vote]

or else they will not be counted. Unvotes are not required to change your vote, but they are helpful. Please note: I'm using an automated vote counter.

If you don't use the vote tags, be sure to add a colon after the word "Vote".

2. Votes inside of spoiler tags will not be counted.

3. 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. Please note: the vote counting application may be more finicky about nicknames than I am. If you notice that your vote hasn't been recorded, please let me know.

4. Eliminations require a majority of votes: (number of living players/2) +1, rounded down.

5. If there's no majority at deadline, there's no elimination.

6. When the hammer vote is cast, all players, including the eliminated may talk freely until the final vote count and eliminated player's card-flip have been posted. If the thread is not locked, it's ok for you to post unless I've specified that it is not ok.

7. Deadlines are set at 10 days. Extensions may be granted if there are replacements near deadline, or under other extraordinary circumstances (e.g., site outages, major holidays).

8. Nights will last 48+ hours, rounded up to the nearest midnight or noon US Eastern Time.

Prods and Replacements:

Replacing Out: If you need to replace out of this game, send me a private message about it. Do NOT post that you want to be replaced, or that you have asked to be replaced in the game thread.
I will acknowledge your replacement request by replying to your PM. From that time forward, you are out of the game. Do not make any posts in the game thread.

This is a site rule that can entail penalties if broken. It applies to all mafia games at Mafiascum.net unless the game moderator explicitly states otherwise.

1. Prods will be given if you do not post in

48 hours

.

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

3. If you are V/LA (on vacation/have limited access), make sure I know. If you are V/LA for more than a week, I suggest requesting replacement, but it's not required, unless you are not able to post at all. If a lengthy V/LA is adversely affecting the game (e.g., if you are not able to post minimally during that time), then I 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, assuming you were given one. Otherwise, please refrain from talking about this game outside of this thread, and don't talk about other games inside of this game. This is a sitewide rule. See announcement here.

3. No editing, deleting, using invisible texts, write in code, using font sizes less than 70, etc...

4. Don't quote or reproduce any mod-received PMs or other private communications with me. Paraphrasing is permitted. Check with me if you're not sure whether something you want to post is within the rules.

5. Vocaroos, Youtubes, etc, may not be used to make game-content posts. e.g., do not record a vacoroo with your thoughts about the game and post it.

6. I make mistakes. If you notice I make one, please let me know.

7. Questions are vastly preferable to Modkills. If you're thinking about to do something that you're unsure is within the letter or spirit of these rules and the game of mafia, then ask me privately about it first.

8.

All

private threads inhabited by two or more slots will explicitly not be redacted. Post accordingly.

Game Specific Rules

1. There will be a Dawn phase in this game that occurs after the night phase and night results have been posted and sent via PM. Dawn Phase may last up to 6 hours.

2. There will be a formal twilight phase that will last up to 6 hours after the elimination vote reaches majority. The player's flip will not be posted until the Twilight phase is over.

3. It's possible that one or both phases will be discontinued at some point during the game.

4 As is the nature of theatre, being dead does not mean you role in the play is over. No one will be invited to the Retirement Party until they have truly shuffled off this mortal coil. Avoid discussing the game with anyone, in the game or not, living or dead, once your flip has been posted.

5. Rolecards will be flipped upon player deaths. Some may require redactions. Those redactions will be noted with [REDACTED] replacing the removed text.

6. There is a unique mechanic in this game, which will be explained in the next post.

[fferyllt]

Gold Coins

Your Role PM specifies the amount of your signing bonus and your wages for each game day. Payment occurs before Nightfall.

Your Role PM may also specify something(s) you can buy that are unique to your role. And as you also know from your Role PM, there may be aspects of your role of which you are not currently aware.

There may be items for sale during a game day or night, but this game is not at heart a market style game. Actors need to eat, drink and be merry!

There will also occasionally be opportunities to gain extra coin. The rules for these opportunities will be explained at the start of the phase in which they occur.

Beware! Where there is gold, there are thieves.

[fferyllt]

Sample Role PM

Welcome!

You are

Roderigo

, of

Othello

.

You are a dissolute Venetian with an unseemly interest in Othello's wife, Desdemona. You lavishly shower Iago with funds in the expectation that he will help you to Desdemona's bed. It doesn't work out and you wind up meeting a sword.

Your signing bonus for joining the Globe Theatre Troupe is:

1 gold coin

, and the Globe Theatre will pay you

1 gold coin

at the end of each game day. For more information about the

coins

, read this post carefully.

Abilities:

All the world's a stage:

Your greatest abilities of all, your voice and your vote

I will make myself known to Desdemona:

Once during the game you can target target a player and write a message for me to deliver to them anonymously. If the player you send the message to is Desdemona, then you will gain a neighborhood with them for that Night.

Slings and Arrows:

You may suffer some.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, and therefore is winged Cupid painted blind:

There may be other aspects of your role of which you are currently unaware.

The jewels you have had from me

• With nought but truth. I have wasted myself out of my means.:
  You can buy one additional chance to find Desdemona. The cost will be
  3 gold coins
  .

Win Condition

You win when all threats to

Loyal Cast Members

have been eliminated or nothing can prevent that from happening.

[fferyllt]

This is the Pregame Phase. Role PMs will go out during the next few hours. Please respond to your Role PM with your alignment

and the Dialog representing your 3rd ability

to confirm that you have received it.

You have 48 hours from the time I send you the Role PM to respond. If you cannot respond by then, I will seek a replacement.

Once 14 of the 17 players have confirmed via PM reply, OR 24 hours after all Role PMs have been sent, whichever comes first, the game will begin!

I'll update this post as we progress through Pregame.

All Role PMs

will go out shortly

have gone out!

13 of 17 players have confirmed.

If you would like a personal or hydra PT, let me know and I'll create one for you. It will be up to you if you wish to make the PT public after the game ends.

We're at 13 of 17 now, and I'm about to call it a night. We'll probably get at least one more confirmation overnight. Either way, Day 1 will start in about (expired on 2021-10-24 12:08:03)

Welcome to the Globe Theatre my dear Troupe!

Though short as a summer's night it may seem
More busy than harvesters shall ye be
Below marvelous and hallowed theatre's beams
Ye shall be tested: skill and energy

Each day there is a new play to perform
Comedy today, Tragedy tomorrow
And then, a History our guests to inform
A hero, villain, goddess, fool, a beau

Any one of these, both leads and chorus,
Ye may declaim, recite and walk the boards
With gestures swept wide and stances valorous
With pure force of presence, astonish the hordes

'Tis a test of thy character and mettle
Wilt thou prevail? This question we must settle !

Thou hast an opportunity to earn one extra

gold coin

today. Be ye terse and it shall be thine. All in the Troupe who make fewer than 150 posts this game day shall earn it.

It is petter that friends is the sword, and end it:
and there is also another device in my prain, which
peradventure prings goot discretions with it: there
is Anne Page, which is daughter to Master Thomas
Page, which is pretty virginity.

Slender:

Mistress Anne Page? She has brown hair, and speaks small like a woman.

Sir Hugh Evans:

It is that fery person for all the orld, as just as
you will desire; and seven hundred pounds of moneys,

Thus enters the reason this play was written. Back by popular demand, it's Falstaff from Henry IV!

Falstaff:

Now, Master Shallow, you'll complain of me to the king?

Robert Shallow:

Knight, you have beaten my men, killed my deer, and
broke open my lodge.

Falstaff:

But not kissed your keeper's daughter?

Robert Shallow:

Tut, a pin! this shall be answered.

Falstaff:

I will answer it straight; I have done all this.
That is now answered.

Robert Shallow:

The council shall know this.

Falstaff:

'Twere better for you if it were known in counsel:
you'll be laughed at.

What lackwit garbed Falstaff in such unseemly clothes? He's a knight of the realm! Are you not ashamed? Let the clothes alone.

Falstaff and Pistol

Falstaff:

Pistol!

Pistol:

He hears with ears.

Sir Hugh Evans:

The tevil and his tam! what phrase is this, 'He
hears with ear'? why, it is affectations.

Falstaff:

Pistol, did you pick Master Slender's purse?

Slender:

Ay, by these gloves, did he, or I would I might
never come in mine own great chamber again else, of
seven groats in mill-sixpences, and two Edward
shovel-boards, that cost me two shilling and two
pence apiece of Yead Miller, by these gloves.

Falstaff:

Is this true, Pistol?

Sir Hugh Evans:

No; it is false, if it is a pick-purse.

Pistol:

Ha, thou mountain-foreigner! Sir John and Master mine,

Falstaff, Pistol and Bardolph enter the Garter Inn.

Falstaff:

No quips now, Pistol! Indeed, I am in the waist two
yards about; but I am now about no waste; I am about
thrift. Briefly, I do mean to make love to Ford's
wife: I spy entertainment in her; she discourses,
she carves, she gives the leer of invitation: I
can construe the action of her familiar style; and
the hardest voice of her behavior, to be Englished
rightly, is, 'I am Sir John Falstaff's.'

Pistol:

He hath studied her will, and translated her will,
out of honesty into English.

Nym:

The anchor is deep: will that humour pass?

Falstaff:

Now, the report goes she has all the rule of her
husband's purse: he hath a legion of angels.

Pistol:

As many devils entertain; and 'To her, boy,' say I.

Nym:

The humour rises; it is good: humour me the angels.

Welcome!

You are

Hamlet

You are the dead court jester whose skull is exhumed by a gravedigger. Hamlet sees your skull and is moved to reminisce. His meditation about you is emblematic of the earthly vanity philosophical theme regarding life and death.

Your signing bonus for joining the Globe Theatre Troupe is:

1 gold coin

, and the Globe Theatre will pay you

1 gold coin

at the end of each game day. For more information about the

coins

, read this post carefully.

Abilities:

All the world's a stage:

Your greatest abilities of all, your voice and your vote

A fellow of infinite jest:

Your votes must all be accompanied by a joke.

Of most excellent fancy:

Once during the game you can target a player to learn that you are a Moderator-confirmed

Loyal Cast Member

that night.

Where be your gibes now? Your gambols? Your songs?

If you die, you will be able to vote as befits a restless spirit on the following game day. To vote, PM me with who you want to vote. You may change your vote during this post-death game day.

Slings and Arrows:

While you live a vote without a joke will not be counted. After you die, you do not suffer this affliction.

Dost thou think Alexander looked o’ this fashion i’ th’ earth?:

There may be other aspects of your role of which you are currently unaware.

It is a dark cold dawn, more fitting of Midwinter than this day.



Dawn phase will last no longer than 6 hours: (expired on 2021-11-05 21:21:59)

If you have a dawn action, 'tis best sent to me soon!

[fferyllt]

From offstage, you hear a voice:

My role is a crier, I can send a message every dawn phase. Notably, I can even send such a message the night I am dying. My final monologue, as it were. Juliet claimed commuter, and yet was able to make post 1013 for unknown reasons, certainly not something they claimed while alive. Most suspicious of all, Juliet doesn't explain why they are able to do so in their postmortem post, or acknowledge that their role did not flip. What I'm getting at is that I think Juliet was evil at heart.

One last thing is that WhemeStar had targeted me with their friendly neighbor ability.

[fferyllt]

Hark! Another voice's echo bounces from the boards of the empty stage:

All the world’s a page
And all the town and mafia merely writers
They have their towntells and their scumtells
And each in their time makes many votes
The intention of each remains unclear.
Revelations and answers I do not impart.
I feel bad about this bad soliloquy
An act of pseudo-ventriloquy
Alas, time did get away from me.

[fferyllt]

The great lamp we know as Sol is now fully risen, yet remains low on the horizon. Something is not as it should be. Perhaps Midwinter has indeed come early.

Day Two has been cut untimely short, and will last but half its appointed hours.

A voice booms out from somewhere backstage:

Section A: Crier Corner

I did a lot of thinking over the night. As I mentioned, I'm able to post my thoughts even if I meet an untimely end here, so there's no real reason for me not to to this. I'm also going to disembody myself from my physical form... I'm acting as a pure spirit of reasoning and wit, and I shall not be held back by my wordly biases!

I'm the crier who wrote the message in post 1014, but I didn't write the poem after that, which means there is another crier still alive. I'm not sure what their intentions are, or what to think. What I do know is that I was right about Juliet being a rogue crier, a real no-do-gooder trying to give us noble criers a bad rap. In any case, I'm the good crier that you can trust, ok?

Section B: Mechanical bookkeeping

In post 1038 Titus claims to have been liberated of her gold. This means that there is another role who can liberate someone of their gold.
In post 1772 Skybird claims to have received a message. This matches up with Galron's role, which also gave Galron a random snippet from Skybird's flavor.
Galron also claimed to have been liberated of his gold, and to have received a message, in post 1158. We can assume he was lying.
We must also keep in mind that the duration of day 2 was halved by an unknown force. I'm currently assuming that this was a scum ability, but would be open to explanations in the future.

Section C: Juliet Capulet

So, she flipped mafia after all, and while the events of day 2 are fresher on everyone's minds, it will be worth it to go back and look over day 1 as well with this new information. I will say that although I am a thought-form with no bias whatsoever, I will still act upon my (perfect) memory of the events of day 2 and filter this to really be about what I find interesting in the context of both days. I'm also going to skip the bits in her role about stealing gold coins, and talk about that later.

I believe that it is clear that Juliet was pretending to be town in order to confuse the town after her elimination, with the delayed flip. This ended up being overshadowed by the track on Galron, but it was their intentions. I believe that their last post where they hand out reads like candy is largely wifom nonsense that can be safely ignored. To be clear, I think that if we combine Juliet's day 1 wagon, and compare with day 2, we will come up with something. My conclusion is in Section E, though conclusion is a misnomer, really, as I'll be open to hearing new arguments during day 3.

Section D: Galron

How could Galwrong feel so right? This was an interesting wagon, there were people claiming suspicion before the track results were revealed, and when the actual track was revealed, a second wagon formed. Let's take a moment to look over what Galron was doing, though.

Post 596 is, in hindsight and paired with the mafia factional ability to steal coins, obvious fishing for info. It makes me wonder if 597 is also fishing for some kind of information... because look at the mafia role again, it says they have the ability to steal coins as long as 2 specific players are still alive. My bet is that the mafia only received the flavor of these players, and Galron here is trying to figure out flavor claims so he knows who to potentially not kill.

Post 1160 all the way to 1253 is all fake confusion over the crier message. He was scum with Juliet, he knows she didn't send that message, this is all acting. And what is his purpose? More role fishing? From me, no less. Or is he simply wasting town's time on a half day? Or is he trying to look town? Maybe I really am just on another level and I fried his mind as he tried to fathom my intentions, as if he cast Read Thoughts on someone with an intelligence of 26 or higher?

Section E: My suspect

Off The Hook was suspected going into day 2. Notably from them is 1163 and beyond which I feel looks the most like theatrics of all those who responded to Galron talking about the crier (that's me). They end up town reading Galron for this posting later, which could be a planned move, and in 1366 they encourage the town to keep Galron alive for their claim, and place the third vote on the counter-wagon. There's another problem with 1366 in that it does feel like their stated suspicions were pulled out of nowhere, onto an awfully convenient place, at an awfully convenient time. And the followup in post 1376 seems very weak to me. I'm also not buying the way they try to tie Galron to Dunnstral near the end of the day, when it is looking more clear that Galron is going to be the elimination, because that goes against the spirit of their earlier vote and stance, while not being explained. It feels like they are already playing for the next day phase, knowing that two mafia are about to flip. This is post 1623, for reference.

I would like for Off The Hook to be the day 3 elimination, barring new evidence. I would also like to keep up the pretext of anonymity. This is a conundrum, though I'll figure it out.

Section W: Is dumb

This section is dumb. This section is dumb. There were a lot of sections skipped to arrive at this section, and this section doesn't even make any sense. And it's repeating itself. A curious section, indeed.

[fferyllt]

What ho? Another voice cries out from the wings:

Alas, I do not have much to think
Why dwell in my mind when I may instead speak
Marlowe's Miscreants look to be down
Yet how do I prove that I am indeed town?
With diligence and wit that I do not possess
Perhaps a lost cause? No, maybe, yes.

The Bard wrote ten plays about the history of Medieval England and its royal dynasties up to and including Henry VIII,whose reign occurred during the transition to the Renaissance.

King John

is the first of these plays, and is also the least loved of them. However, unlike Timon of Greece, there is historical record of this play being performed during Shakespeare's lifetime. John was the son of Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine, and the younger brother of Richard the Lionheart. Yes,

that

John.

KING JOHN

Now, say, Chatillon, what would France with us?

CHATILLON

Thus, after greeting, speaks the King of France
In my behavior to the majesty,
The borrow'd majesty, of England here.

QUEEN ELINOR

A strange beginning: 'borrow'd majesty!'

KING JOHN

Silence, good mother; hear the embassy.

CHATILLON

Philip of France, in right and true behalf
Of thy deceased brother Geffrey's son,
Arthur Plantagenet, lays most lawful claim
To this fair island and the territories,
To Ireland, Poictiers, Anjou, Touraine, Maine,
Desiring thee to lay aside the sword
Which sways usurpingly these several titles,
And put these same into young Arthur's hand,
Thy nephew and right royal sovereign.

KING JOHN

What follows if we disallow of this?

CHATILLON

The proud control of fierce and bloody war,
To enforce these rights so forcibly withheld.

KING JOHN

That is well known; and, as I think, one father:
But for the certain knowledge of that truth
I put you o'er to heaven and to my mother:
Of that I doubt, as all men's children may.

Give me leave to speak my mind:

During the Dawn phase, after the Night death results have been posted, You can write a soliloquy (anything you'd like to post to the entire player list, written as though you're talking to yourself). Send it to me within 6 hours after the end of night, and I will post it for you anonymously. You can pre-submit your soliloquy if you might not be online when the 6 hour Dawn phase occurs. In addition, you can have one conversation with a newly dead player during that day phase, but only if you also wrote a soliloquy. You write the message and send it to me. I deliver it anonymously to your chosen recipient. If the dead recipient would like to reply, they can do so within 72 hours after the new day begins and I will deliver it to you.

Slings and Arrows:

On days when you submit a soliloquy, in order for your vote to count, you must include an original rhyming couplet in your vote post.

It is a melancholy of mine own:

There may be other aspects of your role of which you are currently unaware.

Tell me, Panthino, what sad talk was that
Wherewith my brother held you in the cloister?

PANTHINO

'Twas of his nephew Proteus, your son.

ANTONIO

Why, what of him?

PANTHINO

He wonder'd that your lordship
Would suffer him to spend his youth at home,
While other men, of slender reputation,
Put forth their sons to seek preferment out:
Some to the wars, to try their fortune there;
Some to discover islands far away;
Some to the studious universities.
For any or for all these exercises,
He said that Proteus your son was meet,
And did request me to importune you
To let him spend his time no more at home,
Which would be great impeachment to his age,
In having known no travel in his youth.

ANTONIO

Nor need'st thou much importune me to that
Whereon this month I have been hammering.
I have consider'd well his loss of time
And how he cannot be a perfect man,
Not being tried and tutor'd in the world:
Experience is by industry achieved
And perfected by the swift course of time.
Then tell me, whither were I best to send him?

PANTHINO

I think your lordship is not ignorant
How his companion, youthful Valentine,
Attends the emperor in his royal court.

Hello, I believe that CoF's claimed gold does not match up. Please reread my posts if you do not understand what I am talking about.

Basically, they should start with 1 gold, and then get two more gold at the end of that day due to the 200 post bonus. They are off by 1 gold in what they are claiming.

Also, I don't believe that the ariel vote could not be controlled at all, and it really only makes sense coming from their flavor, and we know they're the only one from that play, so...

Besides, the lottery of my destiny bars me the right of voluntary choosing:

You have three wooden caskets. Each casket is made of a rare and precious wood: Macacauba, Desert Ironwood, and Khamphi Rosewood. Each night, you can choose the casket that will hold your portrait and a scroll and send it to a player of your choice. If the player can be targeted that night and chooses the correct box, then you will gain a private thread with the player.

Mine own, I would say. But if mine, then yours, And so all yours:

If you establish a neighborhood, then both of you will gain a one-shot night action to share. The nature of the one-shot will be revealed to you both in the neighborhood.

I could teach you how to choose right, but I am then forsworn. So will I never be:

During the Day, you may not say, hint, or imply which box you intend to be the correct choice on any future night. If you're not sure about something you want to post regarding the caskets, please discuss with me first. You could lose the ability if I feel this constraint has been violated.

I hold the world but as the world, Gratiano; A stage where every man must play a part, and mine is a sad one:

You have a secondary win condition you can choose to pursue if you wish: accumulate

12 gold coins

before the game ends. If you cannot achieve this, you may still win or lose based on your primary win condition (below). If you do satisfy your secondary win condition, you will leave the game and the remaining players will continue to fight it out. You can distribute your

12 gold coins

as you see fit after you win by PMing me the names of the player(s) you wish to fund and how many coins you bequeath to each of them.

There is no vice so simple but assumes some mark of virtue on his outward parts:

You have 6 potions. You can choose to offer 2 of them to another player at night by sending me a PM with the player and the potions you wish to offer them. The player you choose can buy one of the potions from you for

2 gold coins

, or turn the offer down. You cannot offer the same potions on consecutive nights unless you have fewer than 4 potions left. You cannot give yourself any of the potions. The potions are:

• A potion that will allow the recipient one post on the following day upon their death.
  
• A potion that will allow the recipient to learn if they were targeted by a night action, but not who targeted them or what the action was.
  
• A potion that will allow the recipient to learn if another player was targeted and what the action was.
  
• A potion that will double the number of coins the player receives during the next day phase.
  
• A potion that will allow a player to steal one coin from someone else and spend it on the same night.
  
• A potion that will allow a player to place a post limit on another player on the day phase of their choice. The post limit will be (100/Day #) rounded up.

You have a secondary win condition you can choose to pursue if you wish: accumulate

12 gold coins

before the game ends. If you cannot achieve this, you may still win or lose based on your primary win condition (below). If you do satisfy your secondary win condition, you will leave the game and the remaining players will continue to fight it out. You can distribute your

12 gold coins

as you see fit after you win by PMing me the names of the player(s) you wish to fund and how many coins you bequeath to each of them.

There is no vice so simple but assumes some mark of virtue on his outward parts:

You have 6 potions. You can choose to offer 2 of them to another player at night by sending me a PM with the player and the potions you wish to offer them. The player you choose can buy one of the potions from you for

2 gold coins

, or turn the offer down. You cannot offer the same potions on consecutive nights unless you have fewer than 4 potions left. You cannot give yourself any of the potions. The potions are:

• A potion that will allow the recipient one post on the following day upon their death.
  
• A potion that will allow the recipient to learn if they were targeted by a night action, but not who targeted them or what the action was.
  
• A potion that will allow the recipient to learn if another player was targeted and what the action was.
  
• A potion that will double the number of coins the player receives during the next day phase.
  
• A potion that will allow a player to steal one coin from someone else and spend it on the same night.
  
• A potion that will allow a player to place a post limit on another player on the day phase of their choice. The post limit will be (100/Day #) rounded up.

Though justice be thy plea consider this, that in the course of justice none of us should see salvation:

There may be other aspects of your role of which you are currently unaware.

We do pray for mercy, and that same prayer doth teach us all to render the deeds of mercy:

• I will buy with you, sell with you, talk with you, walk with you, and so following; but I will not eat with you, drink with you, nor pray with you:
  You can buy a spell that will give you a single night's protection from death. You can choose which night to use the spell. The cost is
  2 gold coins
  .

Primary Win Condition

You win when all threats to

Loyal Cast Members

have been eliminated or nothing can prevent that from happening.

Many thanks to you all for playing! It has been a somewhat rigourous pleasure to present this game to you!

[fferyllt]

You caught me right in the middle of pizza! Sorry the final vote counts and flip was a little delayed.

It's going to take me a little while to release all the PTs, in the meanwhile please discuss how excruciating this game was!

[fferyllt]

I thought there was going to be one more incredible plot twist to this game. I actually thought at first Dunnstral had left out the wording of his post restriction in his vote post, as a way to bait the the hammer if Icebox was scum.

One -- Dunnstral did include the words "bowser is obvtown" in his vote post.

and Two -- Icebox was taking no chances, and waited for the vote count to ensure there were no shenanigans.

What a finish, my heart was racing!

[fferyllt]

Let me explain what happened on night 1.

I missed one interaction as I was going through all the night actions and all the notes about hidden interactions. Puck targeting Icebox with the post restriction vanilla-ized Icebox. Given the way the night actions resolved, Ice box was loverized and then vanillaized before Dawn. So, Galron was an unrequited lover. If Icebox died, he would die too, but not the other way around.

I do think having to work this out partway through day 2 did give Bell some undeserved town credit. But I also think that he played an incredibly good game basically from Day 2 onward. Day 1 was a little shakey, though!

Pavowski's loverizing of two scum was a great move, based on some great reads!

[fferyllt]

The sheer amount of minigame I built into A Midsummer Night's Dream was insane.

I will never design a large theme with this many moving parts again.

I also will NEVER do so much bbcode formatting in the flavor/mod posts again. It was a nightmare.

[fferyllt]

Can I ask how a vanilized player regained a power to loverize Titus and I?

It was explicit in the role pm and part of the design.

Be great in act, as you have been in thought.

Take pains. Be perfect.: Should you lose any abilities you may buy one 1-shot ability back. The cost is 6 gold coins

Icebox had a meme ability, where they could target a player each night, but had no idea what would happen, and there was the interaction with Puck if Puck targeted them.

In the posts wall the role PMs, the hidden parts of each role, if it had hidden parts is described. The role copy was a sort of punishment for town claiming unnecessarily. In the case of the loverize that didn't quite work it made sense for Pav to explain what he knew about what happened, but it opened up one of the more useful to scum roles to copy.

[fferyllt]

What happened with CoF's gold coins?

From my perspective, nothing happened to them. There were a couple of points in the game where players were confused about their coins. If asked, I explained. CoF never asked me about his coins.

[fferyllt]

Ffery, can I just ask... where in the ruleset was it stated that gold abilities existed outside of vanilization?

because I get it was a special interaction but that special interaction STILL REQUIRES that the gold ability not be erased to begin with.

Or else it's specifically... I dunno, this is.... I don't wanna be mean, i'm p. upset about that but I like you as a person and the rest of your game? I just...

gah

Vanillaized players still collected gold. It's probably not explicit in the rule set, but coin based activities weren't affected by other abilities unless those abilities explicitly involved coins, such as selling/buying potions, stealing coins, etc.

Buying a potion for an ability makes sense.

A VT gets a potion... they get an ability right?

Same with the One shot watch in the PT. Bell is vanilized but can use that ability.

... but activating their OWN ability on their OWN role PM to regain an ability is... that seems antithetical to what a Vanilized VT/Goon should be able to do, per the rules of the game.

I don't wanna harp on this too much, so I won't progress that any further, cause I fear it gets cyclical from here. Thank you for the game, I'll look forward to your next one.

I feel like that part of the design definitely needed more work. And I think trying to do a game with this many moving parts AND an additional mechanic as uPick was just an insane thing to do.

I feel like this game combed my hair and gave me a sunburn every single game night.

Did I have to be collateral damage though?

In both games?

Do you like Baileys? We can sit in the balcony and sip Baileys until this game is just a pleasant (or unpleasant) blur.

[fferyllt]

What game are you going to mod next ffery?

I don't know yet!

There's a mini theme uPick that Cabd and I are modding. It's in the design phase and day 1 will start next week sometime.

And I've been wanting to design and run another newbie-friendly micro game for a while. It might happen in a month or so.

Other than that, I have a couple back burner ideas that I haven't made much progress on. The one I'll probably finish first is based on The Expanse, but it's months down the road at the earliest.

If you'd like, I'm happy to let you know when I have a game that will be entering signups soon.

[fferyllt]

Thanks again to everyone for playing! I really enjoyed designing this game around your Shakespearean choices and running it, though I did regret some life choices every time the intricate layers of bbcode didn't work!

I also enjoyed every single stab at Elizabethan English that players threw into to the game at random. Having flavor that players like to interact with is *chefs kiss* to me.

One of my intentions with the days where an extra coin could be earned was to encourage a sort of collegial atmosphere that I hoped would make toxicity less likely to happen (though I don't think this player list was likely to go that direction, but you never know), and especially on day 1 would encourage not hyperposting.

It seemed to work as well as, and maybe better than designs that have used posting limits (especially limits on the group as a whole) and restrictions when the limits are exceeded.

I had planned to offer one more coin-earning opportunity on day 5, but by then most players had either collected enough coin to buy their upgrades/remove their downsides, or would do so by the end of that day.

The scum team wound up with way more coins than they could spend due to losing 2 players by the end of day 2, when they also lost the coin steal ability. Town players all had a chance to improve an ability if they didn't die too early.
