Mini 898: The Game (you just lost it)-OVER

[Beyond_Birthday]

The town is dark, corruptible and... I am not good at flavor that doesn't involve gore. So there's a mafia, there's a town, and let's say the game started with the death of the mayor.

General Rules:

1. Do not discuss the game outside of the game thread unless your role specifically allows it. This is a modkillable offense.

2. All Deadlines are absolute.

3. If you notice a mistake that I have made, please pm me about it or bold it in the thread: @Mod: I was voting player X, not player Y

4. Modkilled players become Neutral Survivors and automatically lose. In addition, a modkill either will or won't end the day depending on which will hurt the modkilled player's faction the most (scum modkill will not, town modkill will).

5. Do not post in red. It is my color. Impersonating the mod will cause disciplinary action to be taken.

Voting, lynching, and death

6. Votes must be in bold: vote: Kairyuu

7. Unvoting before voting again is not necessary.

8. Voting for a no lynch is acceptable. A no lynch will occur if L-1 is reached for a no lynch.

9. Lynch happens when a player reaches a voting level equal to 1/2 of living players + 1 rounded down.

10. At deadline, the required number of votes to lynch is 1/2 of the normal amount, also rounded down (if it would be 6, it is 3; if 5, also 3). However, once there are 7 or less players alive a full majority will be required to lynch.

11. Roles will be revealed upon death. Not all roles are complete.

12. Once a player has been lynched they are allowed a single 'bah' post with no game related content.

13. Once a lynch count has been reached, the game enters twilight. During twilight anyone except the lynched player may continue to speak until I post a death scene.

Activity-This category's control belongs to the players. See post 122.

14. By signing up lfor this game you have agreed to treat it as a commitment. I expect you to honor that commitment.

15. Day Phases will have a non retractable deadline of 23 days. Night Phases will have a non retractable deadline of 3 days.

16. If a person goes 36 hours (1.5 days) they will be replaced as soon as possible.

17. V/LA notes posted in thread or PMed to me will be honored. If the V/LA is too long and interferes with my deadline, you will be replaced and notified via PM. I expect you to delete your PM and forget it without ever discussing it until post game. Failure to do so will result in being reported to a site administrator.

Conduct

18. Play to win.

Blatantly stolen from Beyond_Birthday, who stole it from Kairyuu.

[Beyond_Birthday]

Waiting on one more.

[Beyond_Birthday]

Tired of waiting. I will start hunting a replacement in 24 hours, all things aside, it time for....

GAME START

[Beyond_Birthday]

Okay, I've given everyone a reprieve until today in terms of posting. However, quick notes:
1. The prodding rules have been officially changed. I will not check activity and prod people unless asked by a player to prod a person who qualifies for a prod. This is a mix of an experiment and a stolen idea.
2. I will replace rewq due to "comp issues." I will now start searching.

[Beyond_Birthday]

raskol replaces rewq455 immediately.

[Beyond_Birthday]

Tom and Torquez are now being replaced.
Sorry, I did the vote count rather late at night. I will fix it soon. *To be updated when i get home.

[Beyond_Birthday]

Lastsurvivor replaces Torqez

[Beyond_Birthday]

Tom replaced by flareonage

[Beyond_Birthday]

After a song like THAT, you feel like the machine bent you over the bar and rammed its massiveness inside you over and over until you realize that you like it.
Mr. Suave-7-Suffer, Peabody, llamaeatataco, AlmasterGM, AK47x2, Flareonage, Raskol
Suffer-2- Torqez, MrSuave
AlmasterGM-1-SolemnJ
Llamaeatataco-2-Diamondilium, qax42

MrSuave is now dead. He was the Nurse.

[Beyond_Birthday]

Diamondilium has been reported missing his morning. This beloved man of our town will be surely missed. In other news, it appears dawn has broken and...

You heard her. Diamondilium died last night and is a townie. Additionally, it's day 2.

[Beyond_Birthday]

I have noticed a lack of activity in the game. While I have given you guys controls of who I prod/when, I am starting a dead line for 3 weeks from this moment.
Deadline: 12 February 2010

[Beyond_Birthday]

These people will be replaced in this order. I apologize to active players for the shoddy game performance.
qax42
SolemnJ
Suffer
AK47x2

[Beyond_Birthday]

Suffer's no longer on the chopping block, but I just got 3 "No"s and about 4 I-don't-have-to-pick-up-this-pm responses.

Still looking for replacements

[Beyond_Birthday]

Whatever the phase the game may be in, it will remain in until tomorrow. I just found two people to replace in, but due to emergency, I have places to be.

[Beyond_Birthday]

I am giving about 10 hours for the two newcomers to get caught up. Agar and Nobody are welcome. Nobody replaces qax and Agar replaces...oh yeah, solemnJ. I will try and get the last replacement soon. The night phase and lynch scene are coming up!

[Beyond_Birthday]

Night falls, enter here bland flavor.

Look who can't dance anymore!

flareonage, a townie, has been lynched.

Deadline is 3 February 2010

[Beyond_Birthday]

panacea replaces AK 47x2.

I somehow made an error on AK and thought he missed a prod or something. He's clear and retains his role. Sorry AK47X2.

[Beyond_Birthday]

Hm...
I have had a fiasco and a half the past few days with my updates to 7, but that's okay. All is better now. Unfortunately, I also seem to have left mild confusion over the past few days that I've failed to be on here. As a result, night actions are extended till this time tomorrow while I work out problems and I will accept alterations/clarifications of night actions.
Thank you for your patience and sorry for the delay.

Dynamite Rave!

[Beyond_Birthday]

Last night, Max escaped. The thief king is expected to go into hiding, but police warn that he is still dangerous as a con artist, and people should remain on the look out for anyone suspicious.

In a unrelated matter, the brilliant scientist who created the Trip Machine has begun work...

Oh, by the way, Nobody Special [(informed) Miller] was killed last night. Day 3 dawns.

Butterfly (Upswing Mix)

[Beyond_Birthday]

I've been attempting to find a replacement. Sorry for the lack of update.

[Beyond_Birthday]

Agar was replaced by bv310. Sorry for lack of in thread updates.

[Beyond_Birthday]

Deadline implemented: 12 March 2010

[Beyond_Birthday]

DEADLINE MOVED!
Deadline will be 1 week from the date of the next replacement.
A mass prod will be sent out when the replacement joins. Sorry for the inconvenience.

[Beyond_Birthday]

Herodotus replaces Suffer.

easje682 replaces Last Survivor.

Deadline one week from today. Mass prod going out soon.

[Beyond_Birthday]

chevre replaces AK47x2.

[Beyond_Birthday]

Um, deadline is now this Saturday due to replacements. Use your time guys. Dunno why, but I thought the whole chevre replaces in from Saturday post would remind you the deadline is replace in date + 1 week. My bad for no reiterating it.

"Existing in this place now are uncleanable lies
I wonder when it has begun
How far do
I have to go to see the light?

Stars in your eyes
Stars in your heart

You will live in shadow
of shade and commit eighth sin
Unrequited existence will turn
Everything into sin"
~Xepher

easjo682 has been lynched because 8 people are alive so half majority is 3.

easjo682 was the watcher (town). Night ends on 23 March 2010.

[Beyond_Birthday]

llamaeatataco started walking toward his house after the watcher died. Math... he thought.

What would be more fun the gang thought? A self destruct? Bah. He turned to Peabody he was still standing under his friend's mangled body. How could have not recognized his own partner? The man design to watch his back when he was watching everyone else.

This is simple... Llama thought...
He took out a gun and shot Peabody in the head. The town, in rage, returned an realizing that Llama was guilty wanted his lynch...at least... half of them did.

Sorry gentlemen, Raskol said, but it's game over. Raskol gave the word, and his goons immediately wiped out the town.

I can't believe it was so easy...



Mods nOtEs:
Player errors:
Miller did not claim.
Lynching a claimed power role in mylo. (lynching in mylo could also be considered an error but...eh... that's a play style difference.)
Hermit (PGO) claimed actual role. I think claiming Cop or Doctor would have been far more effective. (ESPECIALLY DOCTOR)
Player perfect!
Llamaeatataco correctly guessed the setup first, though I will admit as mafia he would have known a little more than the rest of you.

Um, really, I don't know what to say. The mafia simply played really well. I thought, for a while, Llama was going to get the noose but he managed to pull out of it, which surprised me. However easejo got lynched... I will never understand. But, I really can't judge cause I over see. I would like to apologize for the unusually high number of players.

Also, I rechecked the game and it looks relatively balanced with a psychological psyche out thrown in, but I dunno. Here's the roles:
1 Nurse
1 Hermit (PGO)
1 Tracker
1 Watcher
1 Miller
2 Mafia Goons
1 Mafia Lawyer (He makes one person come up as "innocent" no matter what their prior would be result for a cop would be. Miller-> innocent, Mafia->innocent, but only for the night he targets that player.)
4 Townies

THANK YOU FOR PLAYING!

[Beyond_Birthday]

Thanks.

My fake scumhunting near the end was unneccessary, but I wanted some practice.

About easjo:
When the mod asked me to replace, I read the first few pages and part of the last page before I got a role PM. I was expecting (a) that I would be replacing Lastsurvivor, and (b) that they were mafia. So I believed I would be mafia, but I thought I was a different one.

The setup was interesting. Did MrSuave not know he was a nurse? Does (informed) Miller just mean they knew they were a miller?
The PGO is potentially a key role in the outcome. It can take out the town PR's silently, or it can mutually annihilate one of the mafia.

They were all informed accurately of their role. I have no idea why they did not claim. (Yes and Yes)

Side note: I would have aimed for a Llama lynch from early day 2, though I'm omniscient. I still can figure out how he lived so long, but I think town became apathetic somehow.
