Rules
  • Votes must be made in
    bold
    (for example,
    Vote: Glork
    ). If you wish to change your vote, you
    *MUST*
    Unvote
    , then
    Vote: SomeoneElse
    .
  • A majority of votes by the living players is required to lynch. The number of players alive, and the number of votes needed to lynch will be posted in each vote count and will always be in the first post. You may
    Vote: No Lynch
    if you do not wish to lynch anybody during the day. Once a lynch (or No Lynch) has occurred, no changes in votes or pleas for survival will be accepted.
  • Days will last no longer than
    three weeks
    from the opening day's post. At the deadline, if no majority has been reached, there will be
    No Lynch

  • Once you have been killed, you are dead. A "Bah" post is acceptable, but no game-relevant information may be posted. This includes posts by a lynched player during Twilight.
  • You may not edit or delete any posts. You may not use "invisible" text or [co
    lor=black] tags either.
  • You may not communicate with any player outside the thread unless specifically stated in your role PM.
  • You may not quote any out-of-thread communications, such as role PMs.
  • Night choices must be submitted to me by the date and time as posted by the me during the lynch scene. Each night will last no less than 24 hours.
  • If you anticipate being unavailable for more than a 48-hour period, please post a notice to that effect in the thread.
    Treat this game as a commitment. Be considerate – don’t leave us hanging.
  • Green italics
    are reserved for my own use, in the event that I feel it is appropriate to edit or comment on another player's post. Anybody else posting in green italics will have their post edited or deleted by me, as appropriate.
  • Have fun, be kind and considerate to the players and the moderator, and do your best!
Furthermore, I expect my players to be active. Any player who does not post for 72 consecutive hours will be prodded. If they fail to post within 24 hours of my sending the prod, they will be replaced. Any player who is prodded four times within a two-gameday span will be replaced outright.
Exceptions may be made on an individual basis for players who post in-thread announcing absences ahead of time.



The protown win condition is as follows:
You win when all threats to the town have been eliminated.
All scum win conditions are as follows:
You win when your faction gains and cannot lose a majority of the town's population
There may be other win conditions for other roles/alignments.

Weather Mafia Mechanics

The stuff you need to know...


Each day and each night will have a weather condition associated with it. These weather conditions may have an effect on general game mechanics and/or individual roles. I will forecast the current phase's weather condition in addition to the weather for the two upcoming phases in the game's opening post and in each Lynch Scene and Night Scene. The possible weather conditions are as follows:


Image
Sunny
-- The air is warm, the birds are chirping... life is good.
No universal effect during Sunny conditions.


Image
Cloudy
-- It is overcast. Nice and cool, but not the best time to go to the beach or do some stargazing...
No universal effect during Cloudy conditions.


Image
Heat Advisory
-- It is blistering hot outside! Stay cool.
The lynch threshold is reduced by one during days under a Heat Advisory.


Image
Snowy
-- It's snowing! Everything is beautiful outside. Enjoy it while it lasts.
No universal effect during Snowy conditions.


Image
Blizzard
-- It's a whiteout! You can't see a thing in front of you.
No actions may be taken during a Blizzard. Identities of those killed during a Blizzard are not revealed.


Image
Rainy
-- CAUTION: SLIPPERY WHEN WET
No universal effect during Rainy periods.


Image
Thunderstorm
-- Thunder and lightning crash in the background... Scary!
No universal effect during Thunderstorms.


Image
Foggy
-- The thick fog gives off a gloomy air...
Identites of those killed during Foggy periods are not revealed.


Image
Windy
-- The winds are high. Hold on to your hat!
No universal effect during Windy conditions.

Roles have been sent out. Please confirm in the game-thread. Night One will start once all confirmations are in.

mod: Question: Is the change in weather gradual (sunny>cloudy>snow>blizzard) or is it like Michigan, where the weather can suddenly go from sunny to blizzard?
Another question: When in Blizzard and Foggy conditions, identities of those killed are not revealed. does this apply to Day Phase as well (as in, we won't know the role of the person we lynch)?
1) The changes in weather may or may not be drastic. The one thing I will say is that I have preset the weather conditions for nine full day/night cycles for balance purposes. Weather patterns are not randomly determined in any way.

2) This applies to all forms of death; you will not know the role/identity/alignment of a player lynched under Blizzard or Foggy conditions.

Two things.

First, I was unclear in writing the Blizzard condition. It blocks
all
actions period -- not just those abilities derived from individual roles. (In other words, no groups may kill, recruit, or take any other group action either.)

Secondly, Blackberry is the only person who has not yet confirmed in-thread, but according to my PM records, he has picked up his role PM. So I'm going to go ahead and put the game into night.


Introductory scene to come in the next post...

Disclaimer: Night scenes involving player names are purely for flavor purposes. No mentioning of players or what they say, do, think, or feel is in any way related to alignment.


Xtoxm flipped on the television, exhausted after a long day of doing basically nothing. It was part of his nightly ritual. Put on the 11:00 news, eat an entire Famly Size bag of Cheetos in half an hour, throw a fist-sized rock at the ceiling to get those damned kids to stop playing Dance Dance Revolution upstairs. All in all, a pretty good life... except on days when he runs out of Cheetos. Just as his Dolphins of the World clock struck Spotted-Dolphin-O'Clock, the familiar set of WFOS-TV News came on.


"Good evening, and welcome to the 11:00 news here on WFOS-TV, Channel 9. I'm Zander Carbuncle, and sitting alongside me is Alex Shiva, who has our top story."

"Thanks, Todd"

"Zander."

"Right. In tonight's top story, a sea otter at the local zoo became a mother today. Thatcher gave birth to a single pup, called Blair. The five year old otter seemed very protective of her newborn son, but zoo officials say she's and Blair are both doing well. Back to you, Tom."

"
It's Zander.
Well, let's kick it over to Bill Ixion, who's covering sports. Bill?"

"Thanks! Big news in the sports world today, as the Fickleton Unalachtigo took on the Montana Mammals. The Unalachtigo managed to scrape out a last-second win, advancing to the playoffs and sending the Mammals into hibernation. Ha ha ha ha! Oh, boy. In ohter news, Barry Bonds' other arm fell off today. He claims that it is not the result of years of steroid abuse or his age. He also states that he's still interested in playing one more year, saying, 'The parts of my body that are still attached? 100%.' Alright, now let's go over to weather, with Griffin Exodus."

"Hey, Bill. Overnight, expect to see Cloudy skies, with mild temperatures. Tomorrow, those clouds should open up and spill some Rain showers throughout the day tomorrow. And as we head into the evening tomorrow, look for the Wind to pick up, with gusts as high as 35 miles per hour. That's all for the weather. Let's kick it back to Alex and Zander."

"...aaaand one last note before we head out tonight, apparently Mayor Orthros was killed. Sucks to be him. For Troy-"

"-ZANDER!"

"Right... for Troyzander Carbuncle, I'm Alex Shiva. Goodnight, Fickleton."


Xtoxm licked his fingers clean, and turned off the television. Then he did something quite unexpected. He picked up the phone, made a call to somebody, and rushed out the front door, too busy even to notice the teenagers stomping around above him.





Mayor Orthros -- NPC Mayor -- Killed in Pregame


It is now Night One. Night Choices are due by 11:00 PM EST on Monday, January 14. In accordance with my standard modding policies, any choices not recieved by then will be processed as No Choice if possible, or with randomly chosen targets (if applicable).

"Triple tall skim vanilla cappuccino!"

konehead strolled over to the counter to grab his drink. He always liked when Ekindu made his drinks. She was the best damned barista in all of Fickleton. As he slurped his foam and made his way to an empty table in the coffee shop, he grabbed the front section of somebody else's newspaper. konehead snapped open the paper and began skimming the articles.

"'Bush Resigns Amidst Steroid Controversy'... boring. North Korean Coup Brings Democracy... whatever. God, the news is so -- oooh! Toucan Sam Incarcerated for DUI!"

While konehead read about the jailbird (pun fully intended), elsewhere in the coffee shop mischief was afoot. Two blokes by the names of Twomz and skitzer were playing a game. The objective was to see who could throw more coffee beans down "that fat lady's cleavage." Skitzer's first shot missed entirely, but Twomz got much closer on his shot. He hit Fat Lady in the eye.

The woman roared and jumped to her feet, clutching her eye and knocking over her table. Her extra hot double soy two pump caramel mochaccino went flying across the room, and it landed directly in konehead's lap.

"Ow, hot hot hot hot!" konehead danced in place and used his newspaper to try to soak up some of the scalding liquid before his sweatpants absorbed it first. While dabbing at his thighs, he noticed the weather report. Rainy today, Windy tonight, and tomorrow there was going to be a Heat Advisory. His eyes drifted down the page, and he noticed one more article of interest: "Famous Video Game Doctor Dies Following Severe Head Wound." konehead frowned. Dr. Mario was gone.



mikeburnfire -- Dr. Mario, Doctor -- Brained Night One


It is now Day One. Day will end at or before 10:15 AM EST on February 5, 2008.

Niv wasn't sure how he ended up with these people. He was mostly minding his own business, wishing it were a bit colder, when he found himself swept up in this big unruly mob. Apparently some of them were believed to be behind the assassination of Mayor Orthros and the murder of Dr. Mario.

"Whatever," Niv thought to himself. "I'll play along with their silly games to see what I can do. Who knows, maybe they're onto something..."

Niv, being ever the holly jolly soul he was, jokingly implied that he was behind the dastardly deeds. Suddenly, the others turned on him, demanding to know where he had been last night.

"I was in my house, minding my own business, wishing it were cooler!"

"A likely story! Kill him!"

The group went after Niv with pitchforks, torches, and a noose. The pitchforks and the noose really weren't a problem. The torches were. Before Niv could say another word, he was melted to death, and his old silk hat was set ablaze. IH spotted something amidst the large puddle that stood before him. He picked up a small laminated card.

"Frosty the Snowman -- Cold Weather Townie. Huh. I wonder what that means."

Not wholly satisfied with their day's work, the members of the mob agreed to meet again tomorrow so that they could continue fighting crime... or something.


Niv -- Frosty the Snowman, Cold-Weather Townie -- Lynched Day One


It is now Night Two. I'm extending the night phase 8 hours, so you have until Tuesday at 11:30 PM EST to get night choices in. Good luck.

"I have to admit... I rather like the idea of killing each other off to see if any of these hooligans are trying to kill us all off."

farside22 looked at Cyberbob incredulously, sitting down in the judge's seat of the local courthouse. They had commandeered it for their bloodlust, as most of the justices had mysteriously taken this opportunity to take extended vacations. "You, sir, are a sadistic freak."

Bob stared back at her for a moment before a wry grin crept across his face. "Yeah, I guess I am. But if it gets rid of the Bad Guys, isn't it worth it?"

Several of the townspeople gathered there began to bicker with one another, when Gorrad, who was sitting quietly in the corner, spoke up.

"Guys... I count only twelve of us here. Cyberbob, farside22, Xtoxm, konehead, and Monkey are debating Cyberbob's level of sadism. I'm counting, Twomz and ChaosOmega are busy checking out farside. Blackberry is busy checking out Twomz. And hasdgfas, Skizter, and Iammars are in the other room changing offical court documents."

"Oh, great. So two more of us have gone missing."

At that, the courthouse doors burst wide open, and a silhouette loomed before them. The figure made a motion as though it were drawing a pistol, and the others broke into mass hysteria. Blackberry screeched in fright. Cyberbob dove behind the witness stand. farside22 grabbed a gavel and hurled it at the imposing figure.

"Ow! Now why'd you have to go and do that! I just have a water pistol with me..."

"Hey, I recognize that voice... it's armlx! Why are you so late this morning?"

"Traffic. Sorry, guys. But I did bring the newspaper. It seems there were two deaths since yesterday, if you don't count or hanging of Niv. We seem to have lost IH. And some guy named Heath." armlx shrugged and handed the Obituaries to Gorrad as he opened to the Weather section and read aloud for everyone to hear.



Heath Ledger -- NPC Actor -- Overdosed Night 2

IH -- Dr. Neo Cortex, Weathermaker -- Killed Night 2


With 13 alive, it would normally take 7 to lynch. However, with the day under a Heat Advisory, it only takes 6 to lynch. Day will end on or before Wednesday, February 13 at 2:00 AM.[/b]

13 alive + Heat Advisory = 6 To Lynch

Day is still scheduled to end at approximately 02:00 EST on Wednesday, February 13. No majority at deadline means no lynch.

extremely
limited access through Thursday at least. Expect the day to end when the deadline hits, but if I don't come to close the thread, consider it day until I do. I wouldn't count on using any potential extra time, because it may be anywhere from a couple of minutes to a full day or two.

"'The winter season will bring new love.' Interesting, though I don't think we actually have
seasons
per se," Porochaz mused as he stuffed his fortune cookie into his mouth. The thirteen characters gathered together had ordered Chinese as they debated whom to lynch that day, and they were nearing the end of their meal. Naturally, it was time to read and compare fortune cookies.

Bookitty eagerly opened her fortune cookie and read its contents loudly to the others: "Alright... 'Bad luck and extreme misfortune will infest your pathetic soul for all eternity' ....Oh. That's not a very good fortune." She pouted and looked at the others. "Alright, let's get to lynching somebody already."

The town soon arrived at a decision. Xtoxm was to die this time. He didn't resist -- quite the opposite in fact. Xtoxm delivered unto himself the finishing blow, crying out a plea to "The Others," that they might fulfill "The Task." Or something cryptic and hokey like that.

As Xtoxm hung from the courthouse rafters, ChaosOmega noticed that Xtoxm hadn't eaten his fortune cookie. He cracked it open and read it quietly to himself. "Coroner Rick -- Coroner." ChaosOmega frowned. "Hey, guys... Xtoxm's fortune cookie didn't even have a real fortune in it!"

Twomz, having just finished his eleventh bowl of eggdrop soup, snatched the slip of paper from Chaos's hand and read it. He looked over at Xtoxm's corpse and sighed. "No, Chaos... No, I think it was exceedingly accurate."


Xtoxm -- Coroner Rick, Coroner -- Lynched Day Two


It is now Night Three. Night choices are due by Friday, January 15, at 16:30 EST. Remember that failure to send a choice via PM will result in either no choice or a randomly determined choice.

Monkey looked around. He was lost... again. He was trying to figure out how he could have lived his entire life in this place yet kept finding himself in unfamiliar places. Monkey peered through the bushes, but it was all for naught. Thick fog rolled through the... bog? Was he in a
SWAMP
? He glanced down at his feet. Jet black ichor lined his boots and soiled the bottom of his trench coat.

Monkey sighed to himself and waded out into the moonlight. He stretched his hands out to feel his way about, but he couldn't even see *them* clearly. He fumed. Where was his automobile? How on earth could he wind up here, cold and lonely and quite hungry and not knowing how to get out?

Suddenly, Monkey heard something behind him. He whipped around, drawing his pistol, and fired twice into the fog. Monkey stepped sideways and bumped into a tree. A tree? He didn't remember a tree. What on EARTH was --

"Good evening, old friend."

Monkey turned up and looked at the "tree" he had just rammed into. A large, muck-coated figure stood before him.

"Oh, it's you. Thank goodness you're here. Do you have any idea how we got here?"

"No... but I do know that you're not going to make it out."

"Well. That is most unfortunate."



The next morning, while hasdgfas was cruising down the highway towards the old courthouse, he heard the most interesting news on the radio.
"Reports of a dead body in the Black Lagoon have been confirmed. One body, identifiable only as 'Monkey,' has been found. It is unknown at this time what caused his death, but rumors of the fabled 'Thing' have once again surfaced surrounding this mysterious death. Details will be made as soon as possible.
hasdgfas grunted and slammed on the gas. He had to get to the courthouse... quickly.



Monkey -- ??? -- Killed Night Three


With 11 Alive, it takes 6 to lynch.

Prodding Iammars, ChaosOmega, and Porochaz. Each has 24 hours to post before I begin seeking replacement. Note also that this is Iammars' third prod since the start of Day Two, and one more need for a prod before the end of the day will mean replacement outright.

Bookitty was cruising along in her '92 Volvo, blaring the annoying night-talk radio that she oh-so-dearly loved. Jimbo and Greasy Eddie were just great, except when they tried to debate politics. Occasionally, they played music, too!

As BooKie weaved through traffic and laughed at Greasy Eddie's impression of Dora the Explorer, she thought about the day's lynch. The group had settled on Cyberbob pretty universally, and he went down without so much as a whimper. The strange thing was, they hadn't found one of those handy dandy little identification cards that the other lynchees seemed to have.

As though some higher power were listening to her thoughts, one of those REALLY ANNOYING alert sirens suddenly interrupted her beloved broadcast.

This just in. Police have recovered what they believe to be a fragment of a journal kept by one the infamous "Weather Mafia" who have been killing citizens in Fickleton. The page is in poor condition, and its legitimacy cannot yet be verified, but authorities are hopeful that it will lead to more information regarding these murderers. I will now read the legibile portions of the entry.

Bookitty stared at her radio as "Great Balls of Fire" played at her. That voice... she was certain it sounded familiar. And there was something else she was supposed to be doing....

...oh, right. Traffic! BooKitty swerved to avoid a motorcyclist and waved apologetically. She turned down the music and tried to focus on the dark road ahead of her when something caught the corner of her eye. There was a man painting a billboard... at *THIS* time of night? It was all white with large red text. Her eyes passed over the enormous lettering and her eyes widened, causing her to nearly wreck fo the second time in less than a minute.

Brigadier Thyme -- Mafia Tracker


Once more, BooKitty tried to shake from her mind what she had just seen and heard, and she stared straight ahead into the dark night.


Cyberbob -- Brigadier Thyme, Mafia Tracker -- Lynched Day Three


It is now Night Four. Choices are due by 23:00 EST on Monday, March 10.

More Deaths Rock Fickleton

Plagues, murder ravage city


Fickleton -- More fallout from the internal siege of Fickleton has resulted in seven more deaths and numerous hospitalizations, authorities say.

One citizen was found murdered in the unexpectedly foggy night, which superceded the expected thunderstorm yesterday evening. Due to the poor weather conditions and the death of Coroner Rick, the victim could only be identified as "armlx."

In a related incident, the death of Dr. Mario has left the city without a qualified cartoon viral doctor, leading to epidemic disease in the city. Three strains of an as-yet-undetermined virus have swept through Fickleton. Victims' skin turns either bright red, yellow, or blue before the victim succumbs. Sacred Heart's supply of anti-viral colored pills were depleted long ago, and the secrets behind Dr. Mario's preventative care are yet to be found.

The disease seems particularly prevalent in young, well-to-do females, as five of the six deaths thus far have been the fabled "Princesses of Heart." One victim, Jasmine, is survived by her husband, Aladdin. According to Aladdin, the misfortunes of many Fickletonians has led to rampant extortion on behalf of others.

"I don't know what I'm going to do," he said. "I used my last wish to free Genie, and now he's holding out for half of my kingdom to bring her back to life."

Small-scale riots have broken out in isolated urban areas, resulting in tens of thousands of dollars in damaged and looted property. So far, no serious injuries have been reported, and Fickleton police have been able to contain much of the violence.





Porochaz tossed the newspaper onto the table and looked up at his two breakfast companions. "Man... you'd never think that with an entire metropolis of different people, we'd be here amongst ourselves, determining the fate of the city."

"Oh, don't be so melodramatic," hasdgfas snapped. "'Determining the fate of the city' my foot. But seriously... why didn't it thunderstorm last night? That fog was almost unbearable!"

Blackberry glanced at hasdgfas and simply shrugged. "Whatever. Let's order more food. I'm still hungry."

"But you've had nine eggs, a dozen pancakes, and I think you've managed to eat an entire pig's worth of bacon."

"Yeah... that was a pretty decent-sized appetizer."

"Fatty."

"HEY!"



armlx -- ??? -- Killed Night Four


It is now Day Four. With 9 alive, it takes 5 to lynch. Day will end on or before Tuesday, April 1, at 11:30 PM EDT.

I am going to go ahead and prod Porochaz, who announced LA last weekend, but expected to be back a while ago. I'll give him until Monday to post before I seek a replacement.

Mod Note: PLEASE refrain from discussing ongoing games. They are very much against my rules, and future infractions will result in replacement or modkill.

Thanks,
Glork

EDIT: Apparently that game
ENDED
recently, and I misread Blackberry's post. I apologize for being a complete moron. :(

0800 hours

Everyone settles down to debate which among us should perish today. The usual suspects come up. Actually, there aren't really any "usual suspects," so to speak... I just felt like saying something really cliche.

1050 hours

Twomz and Blackberry are fighting again. I think Blackberry stole Twomz's toy. Or boy. Or something. I'm not entirely sure. No real news to report, unless you count farside22 chewing on the gavel again. The day has progressed very slowly so far. I don't know if people are being more cautious, if they're just sick of the killing, or if it's this constant downpour, but the mood is fairly solemn overall.

1435 hours

Hasdgfas has begun a filibuster. The incessant mooing is driving me crazy. Gorrad is *NOT* making things better by talking about the recent epidemic. "More Cowbell" my foot. I'm about ready to vote for whomever pisses me off next.

1447 hours

Great. The power just went out. Courtesy of Gorrad's small, portable radio, we are listening to a newscast about today's weather. Flash flooding and more epidemics. More rioting. That's all you hear about, it seems, since the takeover began. I always used to say that bad news is good news. But this is just BAD.

1710 hours

It's getting darker, and just about everyone is getting edgier. I don't have much time to write... if farside sees me again, she's going to come after me with that gavel again. Somebody is whimpering in the corner. Nobody dares go outside; the riots have reached the courthouse. We've barricaded the door, but I'm not confident it will last. I swear... something has
happened
to this city, and it's not just the murders. It's not just the daily lynchings. I've never known anything like it.

2030 hours

Twomz. It's going to be Twomz. Everyone else is going crazy. They don't even want to LYNCH him. They're grabbing chair legs, farside's gavel, pieces of tile, wood, metal... anything they can get their hands on. They are savage. Sinister. Inhumane. I always thought stuff like this only happened in movies or books or mafia games.

2320 hours

He's gone. Was as claimed. Nothing more to write; masses have broken into courthouse. Can't stay here anymore. Goodbye.




The figure dropped its notebook and took off running. The hordes of people grabbed at its cloak, tried to drag it into a churning sea of death and despair. The figure escaped and took off into the heart of the city. Blood. Graffiti. Broken homes, burnt corpses. Death and destruction was everywhere. The rain had turned over to snow some time ago. It covered some of the destruction, but somehow it wasn't very comforting. If anything, it was eerier. The figure shuddered and ducked away, into the night.




Back in the courthouse, another individual stooped over and picked up the notebook. Tucked away in the back folder was a pristine white card. It simply read:


Twomz -- Lightning Rod, Lightning Rod



It is now Night Five. Choices are due by Friday, April 4, at 22:00 ET.

One, two, three, four, five, six... seven. Yep. It looked like somebody didn't make it. Or they decided not to come.

ChaosOmega looked down at the note in his hand. It told them to meet in the heart of the woods, where they could further discuss what to do about recent events. Every other person had an identical invitation, and there was no way to determine who had written them. ChaosOmega smiled and shook his head.

farside22 frowned. "Gorrad. Gorrad's missing. And with what's going on in the city, we can't even go look for him or know whether he was killed by one of us, the masses, or if he's still out there somewhere."

The seven huddled together and communicated in hushed whispers. hasdgfas and Porochaz were tending to a small fire. It was still cold, and they were trying to produce
some
level of warmth. It was breezy, too... the survivors were unable to keep the fire burning, as ripping gusts of wind blew smoke, ash, and debris everywhere. ChaosOmega pulled his hood over his face to protect his eyes.

After a few moments, his head emerged. He looked down at where the fire had been and gasped. Written in the ashes was the unmistakable message:


Gorrad -- Rogue Santa, Snowy Vigilante -- Killed Night Five


Everybody exchanged glances, then set on with their grim task.

It is now Day Five. With 7 alive, it takes 4 to lynch. Day will end on or before Friday, April 25, at 16:30 EDT.

"Hey guys. We're probably at lynch-or-lose today. Anyone who hasn't claimed needs to claim.

As of last night, I still haven't found Curious George. I really hope I haven't gotten two useless invesitgator roles in the previous course of events. However, I'm pretty sure that Curious George isn't part of the mafia."

"I'd lke Farside to claim her results."

Blackberry piped up. "I'd like to know who
that
is."

Everybody else looked up to where he was pointing. Descending slowly from the canopy above them was an individual none of them had ever seen before. He was dressed in a pristine white suit. The man was holding a notepad in his left hand, a pen in his right. He smiled as he touched down on the ground near the group.

"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen."

"Are... are you
God
?"

The man laughed. "You may call me Glork. I have been watching your group's antics for some time, with a very vested interest."

Iammars looked at the figure incredulously. "How did you fly?"

"Though this is a city of millions" continued Glork, "its fate seems to rest in the hands of the sixteen of you who gathered together just after Mayor Orthros' assassination. The explanation for this is long-winded and far too cliché for anybody to really care. Let it suffice to say that the outcome of your gathering here will impact the fate of all of Fickleton."

Farside frowned. "So, um... why are you here now, and why haven't you shown up before today?"

Glork turned to farside and smiled. "A valid question. I shall answer the latter first. You see, my job here is simple. I am to come in and wrap this whole shindig up when there's a winner."

"A winner?" asked Bookitty. "What is this, some kind of sadistic game for you?"

Glork's smiled widened. "I spent countless hours devising a way to watch sixteen people kill each other off. Of course it's some kind of sadistic game for me."

"B-but... how has one s-s-side 'won' i-if there are s-still s-se-even of us left?" Blackberry was trembling visibly.

"Another valid question. Porochaz? Or might I say... Ogedei?"

The other six individuals looked over at Porochaz, who was holding a notched bow. His face expressionless, Porochaz looked straight at farside22 and loosed an arrow. The arrow lodged firmly into her chest, and she fell backwards. Bookitty ran over to her, but she was gone. Tied to the arrow was a note.

farside22 -- J.B., Warm-Weather Cop


Bookitty's eyes widened.

"Now that that's out of the way... let me answer the former question. Why am I here now? Well... a winner has just been determined."

Iammars cried out. "OBJECTION! There are still three of us and three of them, and now we know who they are! We could take them!" He pointed accusingly at Porochaz, ChaosOmega, and hasdgfas.

"
SILENCE!!
" Glork roared. "That is not how this works! You have no way of overpowering the remaining evil-doers, and if the game goes to night, one of you will be killed. Thus, I have elected to end things
now
, since Ogedei has chosen to kill J.B."

Blackberry began to weep. Bookitty remained frozen and silent.

"Ogedei, Navi, Fog Machine... You might want to avert your eyes. This could get messy."

Glork: Blackberry
Glork: Iammars
Glork: Bookitty


"It is done. Enjoy your city."

Porochaz looked at the other three covered in glorking goo and gagged. "Aww... that's just gross."



farside22 -- J.B., Warm-Weather Cop -- Killed Day Five
Blackberry -- Townie, Townie -- Endglorked Day Five
Iammars -- The Man In The Yellow Hat, Curious George Seeker -- Endglorked Day Five
Bookitty -- Luis de Torres, Fair-Weather Hider -- Endglorked Day Five


Porochaz (Ogedei Khan, Mafia Godfather), ChaosOmega (Fog Machine, Fogmaker), hasdgfas (Navi, Mafia Will-O-The-Wisp), and Cyberbob (Brigadier Thyme, Mafia Tracker) have won!

The Mafia:
Skitzer/Porochaz
Ogedei Khan (Mafia Godfather)
-- You are the able leader of this group of rogues (ChaosOmega, Cyberbob, and hasdgfas), seeking to destroy those who stand in your way of conquest. As fierce a warrior and leader as you are, you personally may attempt one extra daykill during the game (by PMing me your choice of whom you would like to kill). The kill will NOT end the day. It is also your job PM me the name of the Mafia's target, as well as the player who will make the kill.
Cyberbob
Brigadier Thyme (Mafia Tracker)
-- Wot wot! Ye don' know who these knaves are, but yer gonna get yerself outta here. With a couple o' friends (Skitzer, ChaosOmega, and hasdgfas) in tow, ye plan on offin' these blokes. An able tracker, ye can follow one other player per nigh' to see where they go. You may both track and kill in the same night.
ChaosOmega
Fog Machine (Mafia Fogmaker)
-- You are, as your name implies, a fog machine! Apparently you're an evil one, too, because you've teamed up with a few others (Skitzer, Cyberbob, and hasdgfas) to take over the world! Once during the game, you may create a fog during the Night, provided you are not making the Mafia's kill that night.. Players will not know that the Night has been fogged until the ensuing morning, but all actions that night will be taken under Foggy conditions.

MOD NOTE: Use of this ability overrides any condition-dependent actions to be taken by other players. They are not roleblocked -- they just never take the action.
hasdgfas
Navi (Mafia Will-O-The-Wisp)
-- Hey! Listen! Some people call you annoying, but everyone knows that you're the hottest video game character of all time. With your allies (Skitzer, ChaosOmega, and Cyberbob), you're going to take out everyone else. Any time you make the Mafia's kill, you will also lure your target away from others. The victim's action (if they have one) will target you instead of whomever that player chose that night.


The town:
IH
Doctor Neo Cortex (Weathermaker)
-- Hey! You're not mad... or evil! You just enjoy experimentation for sciences's sake! Now you've devised this weather-altering device, which you are eager to use. Once during the game, you may PM the mod to change the weather condition for the next time period. (If you send a PM during Day, the weather will be changed for the ensuing Night. If you send a PM during Night, the weather will be changed for the ensuing Day. And yes, you do have the potential to create a Sunny Night. Your machine is just THAT awesome.)
Gorrad
Rogue Santa (Snowy Vigilante)
-- You may be jolly old Saint Nicholas, but you're pissed. Once per Snowy period, you may attempt to send a special little "present" to one bad little player. The unfortunate soul who recieves your present will be killed on the spot. Should you use this action during the day, it will end the day once the kill has been announced.
Niv
Frosty the Snowman (Cold-Weather Townie)
-- You cannot be killed or lynched under Snowy or Blizzard conditions. However, if you are targeted during a Heat Advisory, you will automatically die.
farside22
J.B. (Warm Weather Cop)
-- You are brilliant and deductive, but you are perpetually cold. Once during each Sunny or Heat Advisory period, you may PM me to attempt to deduce the alignment of one player. Otherwise, you're too busy trying to stay warm to take any actions.
Monkey
Inspector Hound (Cop)
-- You're the real Inspector Hound! Once per night, you may investigate one player to attempt to learn their alignment.

MOD NOTE: Paranoid
mikeburnfire
Dr. Mario (Doctor)
-- You've made a habit of destroying viruses using little tiny magic pills, and you're going to do the same here. Once per night, you may attempt to protect one player from harm.
Blackberry
Townie (Vanilla Townie)
-- You are the token Vanilla Townie of the game. You have no speical abilities to speak of... just your vote.
Xtoxm
Coroner Rick (Coroner)
-- You're Coroner Rick! Once during the game, at night, you may examine one unidentified body to learn that player's role and alignment.
armlx
Siren (Miller Roleblocker)
-- A thief and a con artist, you tend to get in trouble with the law... but you're pretty skilled at tricking just about anybody into doing what you want -- in this case, nothing. Once per night, you may target one player. That player will be unable to take any role actions during that night or the subsequent day. However, due to your criminal background, you show up guilty to all investigations performed on you.
konehead/Bookitty
Luis de Torres (Fair-Weather Hider)
-- Being a translator for Christopher Columbus and the first Jewish person to settle in the New world, you know a thing or two about travel. Provided it's not Raining, Snowing, or under a Blizzard, you may choose to hide with a player of your choice each day and each night. Be warned that under Windy conditions, you may not end up where you intended -- should you choose to venture out. Additionally, if you hide with an anti-town player, you will be discovered and brutally murdered.

MOD NOTE: On Windy days, de Torres hides with whomever is two places lower (on the living player list) than whomever he targeted.
Twomz
Lightning Rod (Lightning Rod)
-- You are Lightning Rod, the lightning rod. At the beginning of each Thunderstorm, you may choose to use your ability. If you do, any kills made during that game period will be redirected to you.
Iammars
The Man in the Yellow Hat (Curious George Seeker)
-- You found a cute little monkey in Africa and decided to take him home with you. Unfortunately, he keeps getting into trouble. Each night, you may target one player. You will be told whether or not Curious George is around that player on that night.

MOD NOTE: Curious George can be found with whomever attempts the Mafia's kill that night.

Okay, Mod's thoughts...

I think the town was in trouble right from D1, with Blackberry's bone-headed play. I've been playing for years, and I've honestly never seen anybody tank their entire town like that right from the get-go. The game certainly wasn't unwinnable, but the whole "fake-claim tracker to try to get somebody lynched on nothing but a hunch after two pages of play" thing was rather moronic. I also think that Blackberry misplayed his role. If I knew I were the only vanilla townie, I'd shut up about it and see if any scumbags claimed to be vanilla townies later in the game. Instead he announced it right from the start, and I think that really helped out the mafia.

As far as game balance goes, there were clearly some roles that were more powerful than others. Iammars' role was intended to be a "vanilla but not really vanilla" role, except that if it survived to very-late-game, he could seal the deal. IH's role was intended to be a big boost to the town, but he went down before he could use his ability. I knew the Fogmaker role was very powerful; I did not expect the Lightning Rod to have to claim and to announce use of his ability beforehand.

The only game-balance thing I'm particularly unhappy with is the swinginess of the game. There were too many roles that depended on a weather condition to be usable. I have already devised a way to fix this for Weather II (yes, there will be a second). Still, it's hard for me to evaluate the game based on how unusually it played out.

I thought the mafia played very well. Twomz and armlx were able to peg the group completely, but everyone else was completely in the dark.

As always, I am open to thoughts, criticism, anything you have to offer. Thanks for playing, and especially for sticking with the game. To have a sixteen-player game with only
TWO
replacements is (sadly enough) nearly unheard of nowadays.
