The Setup

It is a point where our old models must be discarded and a new reality rules.

Mechanics

• Day start
  
• The scum QT is open during
  Nights and the first 48 hours of each Day
  . The timer starts ticking Day One when role PMs are sent out.
  
• One week deadlines. Twenty-four hour nights.
  
• You cannot no-lynch in Scumhunter's Speed 8p.
  Lynches are plurality (with a majority instantly ending day, as normal).
  Ties are broken by seniority of the last vote.
  
• The scum have no normal nightkill.
  However, after Day One only:
  • If a scum player is lynched, scum chose one player to kill, and the setup instantly becomes White Flag (scum lose when there is only one scum left).
    
  • If a town player is lynched, scum must kill one of their own.

Role PMs

5 players will receive the following PM:

You are

vanilla town

, equipped with only your wits and a vote. Good luck with that.

Win Condition

:
If a scum player was lynched D1, you win when there are two dead scum players. If a town player was lynched D1, you win when there are three dead scum players.

3 players will receive the following PM:

You are

fucking scum

with x and y.

Abilities

:
Factional communication: During the night phase and the first 48 hours of each day you may talk with your partners

here

Factional kill: Your scumteam must decide on a N1 kill. If a scum player is lynched D1, you may kill any townie. If a town player is lynched D1, a scum player must be killed. If no kill is sent it, a valid, random kill will be used.

Win condition

:
You win when there are as many living scum players as town players

The Rules

In a world of thieves, the only final sin is stupidity.

General

• This is a game.
  Have fun
  , enjoy the mechanics and play of your peers.
  
• You
  may
  quote
  any and all
  communication with the mod, including role PMs. We do things a little differently 'round these parts.
  
• Please limit all conversation to this thread, unless your role PM specifies otherwise. Do not mention ongoing games in this thread (likewise, do not mention this game elsewhere).
  
• All questions about the game must be directed to me via PM.
  
• No invisible text or cryptography. If you have editing abilities, please refrain from editing your posts. Anyone caught adulterating his or another player's post will be modkilled. A modkill ends the day immediately.

Votes and Deaths

• Please cast votes in the following format:
  Vote: $player_name
  or VOTE: $player_name. I will not count incorrectly formatted votes. Unvotes are not requires, but are appreciated.
  
• If you get killed or are lynched, you are dead. You may not post anything afterwards. Not even a “Bah!” post. Save it for post-game discussion.
  
• At deadline, the player with the most votes for him or her will be lynched (
  plurality
  ). If the event of a tie, the senior wagon will be lynched.
  
• No-lynches are not permitted in this setup.

Activity

• I expect everyone to post regularly. If I see that a player has not posted for longer than a
  48-hour
  time period and the player has not notified me about this, I will prod said player. If the person fails to pick up his her/prod within
  24 hours
  of the prod, that player will be replaced. If you are prodded more than three times, you will be replaced. If you are prodded,
  you must respond to the prod in-thread.
  
  
• Treat this game as a commitment and be courteous to your fellow players.
  
• Each day will have a strict
  1 week deadline
  , beginning when role PMs go out. Nights will last
  24 hours
  .

The LaL mechanic is

The smallcaps tag is mine and mine alone.

vote: kanyeknowsbest

because Kanye does NOT know best.

[Korts]

VOTE: Metabot

It's bad enough that you're a bot, but meta is useless in mafia. You're a burden to this town.

[Fat_Tony]

On a more serious note, it seems like if town want to win this, we really need the D1 lynch to be right. From the way the role PM reads, if we kill scum D1, we only need to identify one more to win. Lynch town, and we need to find both remaining scum. We have one week, I suggest we use it as best we can.

By lynching kanyeknowsbest. Obvscum.

[Korts]

Well yes indeed, the way for town to win a game of mafia is to lynch scum instead of town. You amaze me with your revelations, Tony! You've broken the game!

But really, it's not all that different from any other setup. If we lynch town, we'll have a 4:3 endgame tomorrow. If we lynch scum, we'll have a 4:2 Day 2 tomorrow with one more mislynch allowed. We're penalized for lynching one of our own, but that's only sensible.

[Korts]

Also I love your roundabout way of alluding to publicly available setup information:

From the way the role PM reads

It's almost as if you want to subliminally confirm yourself as town in those who read the town wincon of post #1 fame in their PM first.

[Korts]

Oh yeah and

VOTE: Fat_Tony

[Fat_Tony]

Actually, if we lynch town, we still end up in a 4:2 endgame. In both instances, we would have a mislynch allowed, in the second we would be allowed 2. No NKs. At lease it seems I did read the role PM, eh?

Nice wagon though, shame it has no wheels. I'm town, you should be voting for kanyeknowsbest. I trust you'll rectify that.

[Nobody Special]

I agree. Fat Tony is scum.

Vote: Fat Tony

[Fat_Tony]

Oh, snore. Townies, take note of this when I flip town if you take me to lynch. Not sure about NS, but I'd say it puts a big scumtarget on Korts.

Depending on what happens N1, of course.

Okay, I read post 1 again, you're right on the 4:2. But if you did get that from your role PM, you really are scum, because the town PM doesn't talk about the scum having to kill their own.

[Korts]

And way to direct the lynch based on conjecture, and a flimsy one at that.

[iamausername]

Not sure about NS, but I'd say it puts a big scumtarget on Korts.

So, why aren't you voting for Korts?

[Fat_Tony]

Korts, the "scum having to kill their own" was mentioned in the freaking sign-up thread. Your logic is just atrocious and your wagon is worse. I almost want to policy vote you for being stupid but policy voting is not conducive to good mafia. If you're basing your scum read on me on that, though, you're misguided at best, and deliberately trying to confuse the town at worst. Either way, quit it.

[Fat_Tony]

@iamausername - because then people would accuse me of OMGUS.

Also, kanyeknowsbest is obvscum. Pay attention.

Christ, the scum killing their own thing is in the first post in this thread as well. Korts, get your vote off me right now. If you can't read you don't deserve it.

Also, Nuwen, your vote count is broken. You have Korts voting twice and no vote for I think Metabot.
