Open 229 - Vengeful Mafia (Game Over)

[kunkstar7]

Open 229 - Vengeful Mafia

Them and their damn guns. They always had itchy trigger fingers and vengeful natures. But soon enough this town would be ours. We are too small of an team to make our own kills. That's why I got my little goon running about planting confusion, sowing dissent among them. Soon. It'll get bloody of course. Bloody was always good, it was more fun that way. But the whole plan would fall apart if they got to me. That's why I do what all the Fathers do, watch. Watch the blood, the guns, the lynching. Soon.

Game Rules:

General Gameplay:

1. The Moderator has the final say in any dispute. Refusal to accept these decisions may be considered a modkillable offense depending on the severity. Although the Moderator may be the official voice, the Moderator is not infallible. If there is a mistake or you have a question, do not hesitate to inform the Moderator through private message or through the use of bold text within the thread.
   
2. Dark-Red
   and
   Indigo
   are the Moderator's colors. Do NOT use them. Doing so is considered impersonating the Moderator and is a punishable offense.
   
3. Any and all communication with the Moderator must remain strictly confidential. It is acceptable to paraphrase, for actions such as role claims. If in doubt whether your paraphrase is acceptable, ask the Moderator and assume it is unacceptable until confirmed otherwise.
   
4. The use of timestamps in any way is considered quoting Moderator communication and therefore is prohibited. The order in which Role PM's have been sent has been randomized to directly combat this.
   
5. Any personal communication outside of the game thread, unless clearly specified in your role PM, is
   strictly prohibited.
   
   
6. Do not post the links to any QuickTopics that may or may not be available within the game. Doing so is considered a modkillable offense.
   
7. Claiming to be scum, or someone's scumbuddy, is against any and all win conditions and therefore is prohibited. Either action is considered a modkillable offense.
   
8. The use of invisible, small, or encrypted text is prohibited. Use your judgment, if it is unreadable by the Moderator, it is unacceptable.
   
9. Using loopholes in the rules is considered against the spirit of the game and is a punishable offense. This does not refer to special game mechanics, merely the general gameplay rules. Example is faking a vote to trap players.
   
10. Anything it is illegal to do is also illegal to fake.
    
11. Modkills will be done in a fashion deemed most detrimental to your faction. Your faction will then be converted to
    Neutral Survivor
    , and as such are autolossed.

Voting, Deadlines, Death, and Activity:

1. As a general guideline, players should aim to post at least once every day (the more the better).
   
2. If you anticipate an extended leave from the game, inform the Moderator either in thread or through a private message.
   
3. Players who go for more than
   48
   hours will be prodded. If you are prodded and do not respond within
   24
   hours, you will be replaced.
   
4. Players receiving more than
   4
   prods throughout the game's entirety will be force-replaced. Replacements reset the prod counter.
   
5. There will be a 2 week deadline established at the beginning of each gameday.
   
6. Votes must be bolded or they will not be counted. (ex.
   Vote: PlayerName
   ).
   
7. Unvotes must also be bolded or will not be counted (ex.
   Unvote
   or
   Unvote: PlayerName
   ). Unvotes are appreciated but not required.
   
8. Shortening of usernames or the use of nicknames is acceptable in votes, but will only be counted if the Moderator can clearly distinguish which player you are voting for.
   
9. It requires a majority of the currently available votes for a Lynch to occur. Majority is equal to half of the available votes plus one rounded down.
   
10. If players so choose, they may vote for No Lynch, and No Lynch will be reached if at least 50% of the currently available votes are placed on No Lynch.
    
11. Once the majority required for a Lynch is reached, votes are locked in place and cannot be rescinded. The same policy applies to No Lynches as well. Discussion during twilight, the period of time before the mod scene is posted, is acceptable.
    
12. If at deadline there is no majority, No Lynch will occur. If there is a tie at deadline, No Lynch will occur.
    
13. As soon as the Moderator posts your death scene, you are considered removed from the game. You may not post in the thread following this, not even a "bah." post. It is acceptable for the Lynchee to post during twilight before their lynch scene is posted.
    
14. Play to win, but remember this is a game. It is understandable to be aggressive, yet personal attacks will not be tolerated. Be considerate of the other players within the game, and hopefully enjoy it yourself!

Special Mechanics:

1. The Vengeful Setup is
   Nightless.
   Mafia has no other method of killing besides voting.
   
2. If a Vengeful Townie is Lynched Day One, They must choose to shoot another player. The player must post
   Kill: PlayerName
   in the thread within the 48 hours that follow their lynchscene being posted to activate this ability. No one else may post after the lynch scene has been posted until the kill is posted.
   
3. The town wins instantaneously upon the Godfather's lynch.

"Yea guys...I'm just a normal person, no crazy 'take-over-the-world-tendencies' here...
It's not like these people are going to come right out and say that they are the ones killing everyone and trying to destroy the town, right?"

From this hesitant, joking, beginning you quickly surmise that

Robocopter87

has got to be one of them. Why else would he be so nervous about looking like everyone else? As you string him up on the tree in the town square, you ignore his continued ranting about getting back at those who set him up. Pulling him up, higher and higher, until at the top of the tree... *snap*. The rope breaks and his body falls to the ground. Surprisingly, he struggles to stand, and pulls out a gun.

"I'll make them pay, I'll kill them all."

As he limps off into the evening searching for your common enemies, you realize he is just like every other normal person around here, quick to seek vengeance for wrongs against him.

Robocopter87,

Vengeful Townie

, Lynched and On The Run Day 1.

Robocopter87, your Vengeful Kill must be submitted within 48 hours; July 5th, 5:00pm EST.

"I'll kill them all...They're everywhere, everywhere..."

The broken man sat hunched in the corner of the storage room. He was clearly delirious, haunted by an endless stream of nightmares. The slightest creak sounded out through the doorway. His eyes whipped frenziedly around the room, closely followed by the pistol in his weakening hands.

"I KNOW WHO YOU ARE! LOOK AT WHAT YOU DID TO ME! THEY DIDN'T BELIEVE ME, THEY TRIED TO KILL ME, BUT I'LL MAKE YOU PAY FOR IT!

I know you...

I'll make you pay for this..."

His rant slowly tapered off into a soft whimper.

This was great, watching him suffer. Boss would have loved it, but no, we can't endanger him, he's too important. If I wasn't having so much fun watching this, I might actually just put him out of his misery. Oh great, he's ranting now....maybe I will take care of him. At least to save my ears.

Robo heard the intruder come into the room before he saw him. He began running and crashed through the doorway, falling to the floor. The intruder stepped forward and raised his pistol, pulled back the hammer, and gunshots rang out.

Smoke rose from the barrel of Robo's pistol. The intruder fell to the side dead, a victim of his own plan. Robo, weakened further from the recent events, finally succumbed to his injuries from the fall. His mind shattered, his body broken beyond repair, but satisfied that he had gained his vengeance, Robo breathed his last.

Mindgamer was prodded yesterday evening. I am hesitant of getting a replacement in such a small game, but if there is no response within the next 8 hours I will begin searching for one as per my activity rules. Also, Wacka Alpaca is

not

They had convened in the old warehouse by the river. Three pairs of eyes glanced nervously around, trying to deduce the creator of this madness. One of them was faking the nervousness.

He had this in the bag. Just sling a little mud at one of them and the other would jump on him like a rabid dog, hoping to end the insanity he had created. He was in control, the center of this storm.

"Fenchurch can't be the deceiver, otherwise he would have ended EGL and myself. Therefore EGL is obviously the murderer!"
"Blasphemous! Octupis is obviously the deceiver for suggesting such idiocy!"

They fell silent again. EGL did unnaturally so, allowing Fenchurch and Octupis to discuss amongst themselves.

"EGL DID IT. I'M DONE WAITING HERE IN FEAR!" Octupis jumped up and grabbed the rope, lunging at EGL. Hesitant at first, Fenchurch soon joined forces with Octupis to overwhelm EGL and hoist him up.

Inch by inch his body crept higher, inch by inch his plan fell apart. How...he had this all together, how could he have lost when they were at their weakest, and him with the element of secrecy?

...how..

The blackness engulfed his life.

EGL,

Mafia Godfather

, Lynched Day 2.

The Town consisting of Octupis, Fenchurch, and Robocopter87(posthumously) win Open 229!

Scum Quicktopic is here.

[kunkstar7]

Yes this was my first game, and yes, definitely didn't think it would take this long! I was hesitant in going after replacements considering the size of this game, but it was necessary.

As for play, not an extremely analytical game, unfortunately the lurking/disappearances stalled discussion. When EGL replaced in I felt he had a good presence on entering, and it appeared to me that he was going to deflect the whole hammering situation quite nicely. I do believe that if EGL had stayed strong when he came in that he could have won it as it looked like one of you two started leaning towards a townread on him when he came in and posted. Good job to Octupis for taking the chance and throwing out a vote, situations like this LyLo just require someone to take a chance, and it confirmed Fenchurch which was good. Robo's vengeful kill was an amusing one to get, as everyone had completely ignored him all of Day 1.

[edit]And it was a random shot too, makes that even funnier

What do you think of my modding? I personally would like to keep a 48 hour prod rule but I'm not sure if that's too strict.
