Spoiler: pregame rules

here are some rules to guide you during the pregame,

but please note that the precise rules for the game itself can't be finalized until the game actually starts, and that some of the rules below may change slightly!

1. obey all site rules. you can read the site rules here.
   
2. do not discuss the game in any capacity outside of this game thread.
   
3. do not harass other players in this game. while a certain level of confrontation and argumentation is to be expected in the game itself, don't bring personal vendettas into the game or intentionally try to harm any player.
   
4. as soon as this thread opens, you must PM me 4 questions which will appear on the questionnaire. at least 1 of those questions must be about the game, and at least 1 must be about a non-game topic. you are free to discuss the questions you send in this thread, though note that the possibility exists that this will confer a strategic advantage to other players once the game begins.
   
5. note that anything that isn't covered by the questionnaire is up to me. that means, for instance, that if no one submits a question about how long deadlines should be, I get to decide how long they are, and I can even change my mind about that partway through the game; I will do my best to make this a fun experience, but if there's something that you would find particularly unfun, be sure to include that as one of your questions. of course, if there's no clear consensus on a particular issue, or if the answers to two questions are in conflict with each other, it will be up to me, but in general, if it's an issue covered by the questionnaire, I will do my best to have the game follow the results.
   
6. you may have at most one non-multiple choice question among the questions you send. please be courteous to your other players and don't intentionally ask questions designed to require lengthy, complex responses. do not include anything like "other (explain your answer)" in multiple choice questions.
   
7. if two or more players send nearly identical questions, I will collapse them into a single question. for instance, if one player submits "do you prefer dogs or cats?" and another player submits "do you prefer dogs, cats, or fish?" I will only include the latter question in the questionnaire.
   
8. once the questionnaire is produced, you will receive a PM with a unique 4-letter string (example: ABCD) randomly generated using this webpage and a link to the questionnaire. you will need to enter the 4-letter string and your username to complete this questionnaire. please do so as soon as possible. failure to complete your questionnaire in a reasonable amount of time may result in your answers not being used; I will post in this thread if I need to impose a deadline for completing the questionnaire.
   
9. you may discuss your responses to the questionnaire in this thread if you choose to do so, though note that the possibility exists that this will confer a strategic advantage to other players once the game begins.
   
10. once everyone has completed their questionnaire, I will begin work on putting together a setup based on the responses I've received. once that is complete, I will send you a PM with a role. you will need to respond to this PM with a brief explanation of what your role is to confirm that you have read it.
    
11. do not use the color #8C0000.
    
12. if you will be away from the site for a significant period of time, please do the following: first, update your "Vacation / Limited Access" info in the User Control Panel; second, PM me to let me know that you'll be V/LA; and third, post in the thread to let the other players know that you'll be V/LA. if the thread is locked, I will let the other players know that you are away when the thread becomes unlocked. if you will be regularly away for specific time periods (for instance, during the weekend), you only need to post that and PM me once, but please clearly state that this will be ongoing when you do so.
    
13. I will not edit your posts unless your post breaks the rules in such a way that information needs to be removed from it or quotes a post that does that, or you ask me to edit it to fix a broken tag. I will provide a brief explanation of the edit and, in cases of fixing broken tags, will end the post with a spoiler containing the complete original text of the post.
    
14. I reserve the right to modify these rules at any time if necessary. in particular, I'll be adding additional rules once setup creation happens for things such as how voting and deadlines work.

1. site rules:
   
   
2. obey all site rules. you can read the site rules here.
   
3. do not discuss the game in any capacity outside of this game thread unless your role gives you explicit permission to do so. if you are allowed to do so, I will provide you with a private topic where you can do so.
   
4. do not harass other players in this game. while a certain level of confrontation and argumentation is typical in Mafia games, do not bring personal vendettas or outside influences into the game. additionally, do not harm or threaten to harm any person.
   
   game conduct:
   
   
5. you may discuss the questions you submitted to the questionnaire and your responses to the questionnaire in this thread if you choose to do so.
   
6. play to win. there is a chance that you will lose the game, but do your best to avoid that, and do not deliberately throw the game.
   
7. do not use the color #8C0000.
   
8. do not use any sort of cryptography, hidden text, or other similar methods to hide information in the game thread unless your role explicitly states that you may do so. if you are unsure of what is not allowed, PM me for clarification.
   
9. do not quote any private correspondence you receive from me in the game thread unless your role explicitly states that you may do so.
   
   joining the game, leaving the game, and activity:
   
   
10. you should have received a PM with a role from me when the game began or when you replaced in. please respond to this PM with a message that includes your alignment and a brief summary of your role. if you have any questions about how your role works or you need a new copy of your role PM, please PM me.
    
11. if you will be away from the site for a set period of time, please post in the thread letting the other players know this and PM me, and update the "Vacation / Limited Access" info in the User Control Panel. I will be more lenient regarding inactivity if you are V/LA, but I may need to replace you if you will be gone for an extended period of time. if you are regularly V/LA at certain times (such as during the weekend), you only need to do this once.
    
12. if you need to be replaced for any reason, you may message me with information to be passed on to the player who replaces you. this isn't mandatory, but if there's strategic advice you'd like to offer to whomever replaces you, you can do this.
    
    gameplay:
    
    
13. the first day will last 1 week, and each subsequent day will last 2 weeks. each night will last 72 hours, though it might take me a bit longer than that to start the day. if you wish to end the night more quickly, send me a PM letting me know that, and once 3 people have done so, I'll send out a PM to everyone else letting them know that there is interest in doing that.
    
14. to vote, use bold text with the word "vote" followed by a colon and the username of the player you wish to vote for, or use the vote tag with the username of the player you wish to vote for inside. you do not need to unvote before voting for another player. please use the complete username of the person you're voting for to avoid any ambiguity.
    
15. a lynch will occur once the majority number of votes are for a player, and no lynch will occur if either the majority number of votes are for no lynch or the deadline for the day passes.
    
16. each night, each player may use one factional ability and one non-factional ability.
    
    moderator responsibilities:
    
    
17. I will not edit your posts unless your post breaks the rules in such a way that information needs to be removed from it or quotes a post that does that, or you ask me to edit it to fix a broken tag. I will provide a brief explanation of the edit and, in cases of fixing broken tags, will end the post with a spoiler containing the complete original text of the post.
    
18. if you have a pronoun listed on your account, I will use that to refer to you. otherwise, I will default to referring to you as "they"/"them". if you do not have a pronoun listed on your account but wish for me to refer to you using some other pronoun, message me to let me know.
    
19. I will do my best to keep the game running as smoothly as possible, but there will be times when I'm not around. I should be able to update the game at least once a day, and I will let you know if I believe that might change.
    
20. I reserve the right to modify these rules at any time if necessary.
    
21. thanks for vibing and keeping it tight. if you need me, I'm on my mobile.

[xyzzy]

there's a lot of sources saying that there's a strong possibility that it'll happen soon because the sequels have increased interest in

Star Wars

-related content in general!!! don't lose hope!

[xyzzy]

yeah, and so is George Carlin, but I haven't lost hope for

Bill and Ted 3

!!!

[xyzzy]

@xyzzy - which way would you have rounded if the average came to exactly .5 of any number (2.5, 3.5, 4.5) do you round up or down?!

2.5 gets rounded up to 3. that's the most common way, but maybe I should've specified!

[xyzzy]

"What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun."

the sun rises on a cool September morning in the town of Tibbidee, Maryland, population 22. this isn't a surprise to anyone, of course; the surprise will be when the sun doesn't rise. what

is

a surprise is the body of xyzzy found in the town square, riddled with bullets. there had always been whispers and rumors about them;
they disappeared from the town for the full duration of the previous encounter with danger the town had faced, and more than a few noted that their voice was reminiscent of that of the omnipotent voice in the sky that reigned over their lives during that period. however, xyzzy had always assured the people of the town that they were just a regular person, and they certainly hadn't orchestrated any of this.

"wait, though," someone says. "I remember in the film

Saw III

the main villain dies, but he still manages to have orchestrated everything that happened in the rest of the movies after that!"

"wow, way to spoil that for me," says someone else. guess I'm gonna have to pick a new series to watch on movie nights."

"sorry, I didn't mean to ruin the movie for you," the first person says, genuinely apologetic, which is weird, because, like, honestly, keeping someone from watching the

Saw

movies is really just a good way to keep them from wasting their time. but I digress.

most of the people who lived here now had moved here since that first big event, and some of those who had been there before had since moved on. however, everyone quickly came to the general consensus that they would need to do the same thing they had done before: hold a majority vote each day to select someone to murder and just hope that this plan didn't make things much, much worse.

votecount 1.01

21 players not voting (Srceenplay, randomidget, Not_Mafia, Chickadee, Desperado, SnarkySnowman, SlySly, acidphoenix, EddieFenix, Bulbazak, Vecna, drealmerz7, MarioManiac4, Mulch, Toby Determined, WhyMafia, Dunkerdoodles, LycanFire, ActionDan, Alisae, Vaxkiller)

day 1 will end in (expired on 2017-09-19 19:30:00).

Not_Mafia is a member of the town.

[xyzzy]

mod note that I forgot to put in the first post: Bulbazak hasn't picked up his role PM, but due to the extenuating circumstances surrounding his V/LA, I'm giving him a few more days to pick it up. if I end up having to replace him, I might extend day 1's deadline by a bit.

[xyzzy]

votecount 1.02

2 players voting for Lycanfire (Toby Determined, ActionDan)

[xyzzy]

oh mod picks, not you

can we bribe the mod

@mod

you may certainly attempt to convince me to do something by promising me something in exchange, but I can't comment on whether doing so will have any result.

[xyzzy]

"I noticed the last time we ended up in one of these murder scenarios, there were a lot more bits where the omnipotent voice in the sky narrated what was going on in our lives," someone says.

"that's true," another person says, "but I think that can be attributed to the fact that the omnipotent voice in the sky hasn't shown up yet."

"I agree," says a third person. "plus, it's probably a lot of work coming up with all that narration, so maybe the omnipotent voice in the sky is still around but is now very lazy."

with 21 votes, it takes 11 to lynch.

day 1 will end in (expired on 2017-09-19 19:30:00).

mod note: Bulbazak has his V/LA listed as ending on the 16th, so I'm going to wait until at least then to seek a replacement; most likely, there will be an extension of the deadline by a few days.

mod note: Toby Determined is listed as a player in votecounts, so it's possible that they either are or are not a player in this game.

[xyzzy]

WhyMafia has requested replacement; it will be a bit before I can begin actively looking for a replacement, though.

[xyzzy]

Lycanfire has requested replacement following his prod; in light of this, there will definitely be an extension of day 1 at least until day 1 ends. sorry for not updating you all regarding the requests for an extension sooner—I've been at work since those began. I'll update with a votecount and whatnot in the next couple of hours.

something suddenly occurs to the people of Tibbiddee: there's not quite as many people here as there were earlier.

"I think I counted 45 of us earlier," one of them says. "yeah, it was 45."

"no," another one of them says. "you're thinking of the neighboring town of Echo Bay, Maryland, which has a population rapidly on the rise."

"you're right," the first one says. "I don't know what I was thinking. but we definitely have fewer than we did before."

"I wonder where the person and/or persons who were here before went?" asks a third person. "I mean, where could they possibly have gone?"

"I'm not sure," another person says. "also, was this tree here before? I don't remember this tree being here before."

"speaking as the Municipal Organizer of Delinquency," someone says, "I think the tree has definitely been here the whole time.

"I wasn't sure what to think," yet another person says, "but I don't see why the MOD would lie about that tree having been part of the town the whole time."

"I think the MOD would definitely lie about something like that," a final person says. "a recent survey shows that MODs lie on a frequent basis."

"who can say?" another person says. "maybe the MOD would lie even about stupid things, like which of us spoke last in a given conversation."

Not_Mafia is now a treestump! he no longer possesses a vote, and is treated as though he does not exist for purposes of determining win conditions.

[xyzzy]

votecount coming a little later after I watch the new episode of

The Good Place

. did you know the second season of

The Good Place

has begun? I didn't know that until it showed up in my friend's Plex library! neat!

mod note: SlySly has about 2.5 hours to post in the thread or be replaced.

[xyzzy]

suddenly, one of you is dead.

"I'm pretty sure SlySly just died," someone says.

"no, he's clearly right there," another person says.

"no, that's Llamarble! and yet I think Llamarble has died! how odd!" a third person says.

"it's almost as if... he replaced SlySly!" the first person says.

Llamarble

replacement survivor

you are the replacement survivor! you have two ways you can win the game: either stay alive until the end of the game, or make sure that no one is ever replaced or modkilled due to a replacement not being found. note that only replacements based on game activity or players requesting replacement will matter in this way; for instance, if a player is banned from the site and has to be replaced, that will not affect you.

you also have a neighborhood with ~~~. [these players are/this player is] also [survivors/a survivor], and they have unique ways they can win the game besides just surviving. you can communicate with them privately here:

you also have the following special power: if a player needs to be replaced, you can take over that player's role! this role will die if that happens, and you'll switch to that role. you will lose access to your neighborhood if you do that.

mod note: information might be redacted or made ambiguous in role PMs--hence the brackets in that second line.

Llamarble replaces SlySly.

[xyzzy]

just so you all know, because we're so close to deadline, I'm not going to reset the votes, but note that if you were voting for Llamarble you're now not voting.

I can't do a votecount right now, though, because I'm not at an actual computer.

[xyzzy]

"gosh," everyone collectively says. "we're all so surprised by how many wild and wacky things happened throughout the day that we forgot to pick someone to kill together!"

"that's truly a tragedy," everyone continues, "because there's nothing that brings a town together like some good old slaying."

"if only we lived in the neighboring town of Echo Bay, Maryland, we could be brought together by the delicious taste of Echo Bay Grits!" they all continue.

"sadly," everyone says, "it's impossible for us to locate Echo Bay Grits, because they've got such a non-robust internet presence that we're just unable to find the store locator they supposedly have!"

this end of day flavor text was brought to you by Echo Bay Grits. the town that kills together, corporate shills together.

day 1 ends with no lynch. night 1 will end in (expired on 2017-09-26 11:30:00).

there is a night 1 questionnaire. please complete it: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIp ... sp=sf_link

[xyzzy]

due to some issues that came up with me being offline for awhile, I'm extending the night 1 deadline by 24 hours. night 1 will now end in (expired on 2017-09-27 11:30:00).

[xyzzy]

when you awaken on the morning of the second day, you realize something is off: two of you have gone missing.

"I think Mulch and Vaxkiller have disappeared," someone says. "almost as if they've died! they were probably murdered by the mysterious group of people we are attempting to eliminate!"

"way to be pessimistic about it," someone else says. "you're such a Zoë."

"that's rich, coming from you," the first one says. "if anyone's a Zoë, it's you."

a third person speaks up. "everyone, everyone, we just need to calm down! I'm sure there's a perfectly reasonable explanation for the disappearance! and even if they did die, it's entirely possible that they died of natural means. let's not read too much into any of this."

"you're such a Zelda," the first two people say in unison.

Vaxkiller

questionnaire cop backup*4 day 3 vigilante

you win when all players that oppose the town are eliminated.

each night, you can target a player. I will send you a multiple choice question from the questionnaire that has 4 answers, and if you can successfully guess what answer your target gave to that question, you will learn whether that player is aligned with the mafia or not.

if the day 3 vigilante, the backup day 3 vigilante, the backup backup day 3 vigilante, and the backup backup backup day 3 vigilante die, you will become the day 3 vigilante.

Mulch

genie enabler compulsive bodyguard backup*14 day 3 vigilante

you win when all players that oppose the town are eliminated.

each night, as long as there are 5 or more players alive, I will send out a short questionnaire to each player. one of those questions will be "if you could have any wish for this game, what would it be?" I will do my best to grant one wish from someone other than you each night. however, if every single wish I receive is something outlandish and game-breaking, there will be consequences!

each night, you must target another player. if that player would die during the night, you will die instead.

if the day 3 vigilante, the backup day 3 vigilante, the backup backup day 3 vigilante, the backup backup backup day 3 vigilante, the backup backup backup backup vigilante, the backup backup backup backup backup day 3 vigilante, the backup backup backup backup backup backup day 3 vigilante, the backup backup backup backup backup backup backup day 3 vigilante, the backup backup backup backup backup backup backup backup day 3 vigilante, the backup backup backup backup backup backup backup backup backup day 3 vigilante, the backup backup backup backup backup backup backup backup backup backup day 3 vigilante, the backup backup backup backup backup backup backup backup backup backup backup day 3 vigilante, the backup backup backup backup backup backup backup backup backup backup backup backup day 3 vigilante, and the backup backup backup backup backup backup backup backup backup backup backup backup backup day 3 vigilante die, you will become the day 3 vigilante.

during the first week of the day, you'll need to vote on whether to lynch a Zoë or a Zelda (anyone who didn't answer the night 1 questionnaire can be lynched no matter what), then during the second week of the day, you'll be told who is a Zoë and who is a Zelda, and you'll vote on a lynch from among the players in the chosen group. players who correctly guessed whether there are more Zoës or more Zeldas will receive an additional vote during the second stage. it will take one fewer votes for mastina to be lynched.

@mod

[xyzzy]

ok

Mulch died night 1.
Vaxkiller died night 2.

uhh..

this was an error in my part, and will be corrected. it should say that they both died night 1.

[xyzzy]

and just like that, something happens. none of you are ever quite sure how it happened, but one moment you see Bulbazak, and the next moment, a flash. after that, no more Bulbazak.

they say that a few people caught it on film, and to this day, there's all kinds of theories passed around, like that there was a fifth shooter, or that the grassy knoll had a personal vendetta against Bulbazak, who was allegedly sleeping with the grassy knoll's wife. and no one can deny that the grassy knoll's wife is a real looker, and the tabloids certainly liked to run with those rumors, but who's to say?

one thing's for certain: Bulbazak would've been otherwise destined for a long and exciting life of distributing fruit to strangers, but it was cut short by forces beyond his control.

Bulbazak

triple fruit vendor

you win when all players that oppose the town are eliminated.

each night, you can target three players. each of those players will receive a message that says "you just got fruit vended!"

mod note: the vote in post 2128 and the vote in post 2140 were ignored because they are not for Zoë or Zelda.

mod note: Chickadee is V/LA until Monday, October 2.

you'll be lynching a Zoë! because you took less than a week to decide, you get the remainder of the 2 weeks to decide who to lynch.
the following players are Zoës:

• Chickadee
  
• drealmerz7
  
• Dunkerdoodles
  
• MarioManiac4
  
• SnarkySnowman
  
• Toby Determined

the following players successfully guessed that there are more Zeldas than Zoës:

• Chickadee
  
• Desperado
  
• EddieFenix
  
• Llamarble
  
• Not_Mafia
  
• SnarkySnowman
  
• Vaxkiller
  
• Vecna
  
• chesskid3
  
• drealmerz7
  
• mastina
  
• randomidget

each of these players has an additional vote. your votes do not need to be for the same person, though since there are so many of you in this group, I'd ask that you please change all of your votes in the same post, unless you specifically only wish to use one vote.

[xyzzy]

@mod - is the loved modifier active during xYLO?

the loved modifier functions for the rest of the game regardless of how close the game is to potential completion.

[xyzzy]

"I've decided I've had enough of this town," Toby Determined says. "I'm moving to the neighboring town of Echo Bay, Maryland. I've heard they have a much nicer town there, and they allegedly don't have the problem with people being shot there. I expect that to continue to be the case in perpetuity."

"yes," someone else says. "that seems reasonable. I would join you over there, but only once we've solved this problem of people being murdered! it will be very nice to not be murdered over in Echo Bay, Maryland, but only once we figure out who's doing all these murders over here!"

and then Toby Determined left forever, and that was that.

an issue arose with out-of-game discussion between Toby Determined and another player; Toby Determined is a mod-controlled account, but because that hasn't been openly confirmed until now, there was ambiguity regarding whether this involved rule breaking. after some discussion between Ginngie, T-Bone, and me, the decision has been made to remove the Toby Determined account from the game to avoid further problems. no further in-game action will be taken regarding this matter.

you may recall that I've established the precedent of not resetting the votecount when players lose their votes; due to the unique circumstances surrounding this, I am not going to reduce the lynch threshold, because 1)as you'll see below, the Toby Determined account should normally never be part of a lynch or even any wagon that has a lot of votes on it and 2)it seems out of the spirit of the game to have a lynch determined by what is effectively a pseudo-modkill. therefore, even though there are now 27 votes, it still takes 15 to achieve a lynch.

you cannot win the game. you do not win with any faction.

you are a moderator-controlled player who exists only to cause chaos and create misinformation for the players. you can vote for other players, but you won't ever vote for anyone who has a lot of votes on them, and you're far more likely to vote for someone without any votes at all, for reasons that don't make any sense. however, you can [REDACTED] vote for [REDACTED] by [REDACTED]. if [REDACTED] ever [REDACTED], you will vote for [REDACTED]. if you [REDACTED], then you will [REDACTED] Danny Trejo. this does not [REDACTED]. [REDACTED] is [REDACTED]. I am [REDACTED] this [REDACTED] for [REDACTED].

you have full moderator power in all private topics and may post in them at will.

the following people have access to your account: xyzzy and Ginngie. and also I guess Ircher if he reads the private moderator thread where the password to your account has been posted. note to self: remember to remove that before making that thread public.

it's entirely possible this "role PM" (well, not really; you have disabled the functionality that allows your account to receive private messages) wasn't even written until five minutes ago, because the moderator was too lazy to write it in advance.

I thought Llamarble was voting snarky

oh hey, this is correct. at the time of that votecount, both of Llamarble's votes were on SnarkySnowman. fixing that.

[xyzzy]

after a long day of assessing who is a Zoë and who is a Zelda and the harrowing experience of seeing Toby Determined leave to go make his life in another town, you all finally come to a decision.

"it's unanimous," someone says.

"uh, no, it's just a majority," another person says. "like, we didn't have to decide this unanimously, and we still haven't done that."

"sure we have," the first person says. "we unanimously decided to kill Toby Determined. we each got one vote, and every single person here is voting for Dunkerdoodles."

"have you been paying any attention at all?" asks the second person. "like, that's literally not how it went at all. we're killing Dunkerdoodles."

"no," says Dunkerdoodles. "I think the first person who spoke just now between the two of you is correct. I can confidently say that they are correct, and I am totally unbiased in this discussion."

"that's--that's!" the second person says.

"I'm glad Toby Determined is willing to stand up for what's right and agree with me. get him, everyone!"

"wait what" says Dunkerdoodles.

and then everyone grabs Dunkerdoodles. that's definitely how everyone meant for that to go.

"scrum me hard, Keith!" mafia ultra-macho reverse questionnaire role cop backup*12 day 3 vigilante 1 shot day bulletproof

you win the game when no one who opposes the mafia is alive, or when nothing can prevent this.

you're a member of the "scrum me hard, Keith!" mafia, along with [one or more players]. you can communicate with [that player or those players] here:

you're ultra-macho, which means that if any other member of the mafia would die at night, you'll die instead, and you are immune to any actions that would protect you from death.

each night, you can target a player to attempt to learn that player's role. I will then send you 4 questions from the questionnaire, at most one of which will have been submitted by your target. you will then guess whether any of the questions were written by that player, and if so, which one, and if you got it right, you will learn that player's role.

your faction also has access to a kill each night. you may freely use your kill along with any other powers that you have access to.

if the day 3 vigilante, the backup day 3 vigilante, the backup backup day 3 vigilante, the backup backup backup day 3 vigilante, the backup backup backup backup vigilante, the backup backup backup backup backup day 3 vigilante, the backup backup backup backup backup backup day 3 vigilante, the backup backup backup backup backup backup backup day 3 vigilante, the backup backup backup backup backup backup backup backup day 3 vigilante, the backup backup backup backup backup backup backup backup backup day 3 vigilante, the backup backup backup backup backup backup backup backup backup backup day 3 vigilante, and the backup backup backup backup backup backup backup backup backup backup backup day 3 vigilante die, you will become the day 3 vigilante.

the first time you would die as a result of being killed by another player during the day, you will instead not die.

[xyzzy]

hey everyone, I've had a weird couple of days and have not been able to do most stuff related to night, so I'm extending the night. it'll still be a bit of time before I can get online much, but I'll try to Get some done this evening. sorry for the delays, but I'll let you know stuff as soon as I can!

[xyzzy]

hey, once again, sorry for the delays. the breakup I mentioned going through last weekend ended up causing a lot of stress for me over the last few days, and that kept me away from the site.

here's a deadline: (expired on 2017-10-17 19:00:00)

[xyzzy]

12 of you wake up the next morning. that's definitely fewer than the number of you who went to sleep last night, and you all find that deeply troubling. "where did the missing people go," you all wonder aloud to yourselves. "where could they possibly have gone?"

after several hours of thinking this through and an impromptu viewing of the 1995 Betty Thomas comedy flick

The Brady Bunch Movie

, you suddenly realize that they were probably just murdered by the people who have been murdering you all. yes, that's the most logical explanation. you're honestly not sure why it took you all that long to come up with that possibility, but here we are.

however, because you spent so much time deliberating over what might have caused the disappearances of MarioManiac4 and mastina, you run out of time to go through the whole rigamarole of actually reaching a majority vote, so with only a short amount of time left in the day, you all decide to just go with the good old plurality vote.

also, you all agree that Michael McKean, who played the villain in

The Brady Bunch Movie

, was absolutely robbed in not being nominated for an Emmy for his performance in Vince Gilligan's

Breaking Bad

spinoff

Better Call Saul

. it's just absolute bullshit, you all agree.

1-shot jailkeeper day 4 day role cop compulsive odd night commuter miller

you win when all players that oppose the town are eliminated.

each odd-numbered night, you will automatically become immune to all night actions, and you be unable to perform any actions.

you have the following 1-shot ability: during the night, you can target another player, and that player will be immune to all night actions and will be unable to perform any night actions.

on day 4, you will have the following 1-shot ability: you can target another player and learn that player's role.

if another player uses an investigative ability on you that reveals your alignment, they will be told that you are a member of the mafia.

mastina

1-shot doctor 1-shot bodyguard double voter backup*5 day 3 vigilante day 2 neighborizor hated

you win when all players that oppose the town are eliminated.

you have the following 1-shot ability: during the night, you can target another player, and that player will be immune to all kill actions that night.

you have the following 1-shot ability: during the night, you can target another player, and if that player would die during the night, you will die instead.

each day, you have two votes.

if the day 3 vigilante, the backup day 3 vigilante, the backup backup day 3 vigilante, the backup backup backup day 3 vigilante, and the backup backup backup backup day 3 vigilante die, you will become the day 3 vigilante.

during day 2, you may write neighborize: player in the game thread. you will then have a neighborhood with the named player for the rest of the game.

it takes one fewer votes to lynch you.

during day 3, no player will be able to unvote. the lynch will be decided by a plurality. if no plurality is achieved (i.e., two or more players have an equal number of votes and have more votes each than any other player), a player will be chosen at random from among the players with the most votes. you may vote for no lynch, and if a plurality of players vote for no lynch, then that will be what happens. if it becomes impossible for a given player to not be the lynch target, the day will end. otherwise, the day will end when the deadline is reached.

"I think I'm going to kill someone," someone says. "yes, that is the thing I am going to do. I'm going to do a murder. but don't worry. I'm one of the good murderers, I promise."

"yes, but doesn't that negate the whole process that we're following here?" someone else asks. "like, democracy and all that jazz?"

"I have a compromise for all of you," the person says. "after I do the murder, we'll just reset all the votes. that's a perfectly fair compromise."

"you're right," the other person replies. "that does seem perfectly fair. however, I don't think we should assume that the same thing will be what we do in future incidents where people do murders. that would be an unwise assump--"

and then that person stops talking because it's EddieFenix and he's dead.

"scrum me hard, Keith!" mafia backup*8 day 3 vigilante reverse questionnaire jack of all trades

you win the game when no one who opposes the mafia is alive, or when nothing can prevent this.

you have the following one-shot abilities: doctor, neighborizor, watcher, vigilante. each of these abilities targets one player; the doctor protects the target from death, the neighborizor creates a neighborhood with you and the target in it, the watcher learns who the target targeted, and the vigilante kills the target.

when you target a player with one of your abilities, I will send you 4 questions from the questionnaire, at most one of which will have been submitted by your target. you will then guess whether any of the questions were written by that player, and if so, which one, and if you got it right, you will perform that action targeting that player.

Alisae stares at eir wristwatch. "y'know," e says, "I think I've spent too much time away from Tibbidee; maybe I should go back there and hang out with those folks."

"if you do that, though," someone says, "then I wouldn't be surprised if someone else leaves at roughly the same time, possibly via dying."

"well, that would suck," Alisae replies, "but on the other hand, what if it's someone who thematically cares about the concept of switching places, which would make this whole thing really elegantly symbolic? I'd be totally into that kind of shit. I fucking love symbolism and meaning."

and then, somehow, ActionDan dies.

you win when all players that oppose the town are eliminated.

each night, you may target two players. I will send you 4 questions from the questionnaire, up to 1 of which they gave the same answer to. you will then guess whether they gave the same answer to any of the questions, and if so, which one, and if you got it right, they'll permanently switch any non-factional abilities that they possess.

each night you may target one player. if that player is a serial killer, you and that player will completely switch roles, including alignment.

Better Call Saul

and think about what a good actor Michael McKean is, because they all still have that on their mind. it's very good, but one person complains that there's too many long scenes where someone is just completing a task through meticulous, slow effort, and they miss the intense action they recall from

there isn't that much fanfare to any of it when you wake up; it really just feels like a regular day. but at some point during the night, Desperado's body exploded into a fine mist, and Alisae apparently decided to leave again, leaving behind just a simple note reading "/out". such is the way of the world. as Sufjan Stevens put it in his song "Chicago", "all things go; all things go." similarly, in his song "Chicago (Acoustic Version)", he wrote "all things go; all things go," in his song "Chicago (Adult Contemporary Easy Listening Version)", he wrote "all things go; all things go,", in his song "Chicago (Multiple Personality Disorder Version)", he wrote "all things go; all things go," and in his song "Chicago (Demo)", he wrote "all things go; all things go." another noteworthy lesson to be learned from the world of music is what Donald Glover, performing as mc DJ, wrote in his song "chitown" from his album

Illinoise

, which contains remixes of songs by Sufjan Stevens: "all things go; all things go." and in this case, Alisae and Desperado have gone; Alisae and Desperado have gone. there sure is a lot you can learn from the world of popular music, huh?

anyway, you all decide that you're tired of cute dumb gimmick vote mechanics, so maybe you should go back to the default version now. that's probably all that's going on. pay no attention to the nonbinary person behind the curtain.

Alisae

Alisae, 1-shot phasing player

you win when all players that oppose the town are eliminated.

at any point during the game, you can write

/out

in the game thread, and you will cease to be part of the game. you can then write

at a later point in time, and you will be part of the game again. for purposes of determining lynches, win conditions, and anything else, you will not be considered part of the game for the duration that you've phased out.

Desperado

you win when all players that oppose the town are eliminated.

if you choose tracker, during the night, you'll be able to target another player and find out who else targeted them.

if you choose roleblocker, during the night, you'll be able to target another player, and any actions that player attempts to perform will fail.

if you choose 2-shot vigilante, twice during the game, but at most once per game phase, you can target another player, and that player will die. if you do this during the day, do it by writing

shoot: player

.

if the day 3 vigilante, the backup day 3 vigilante, the backup backup day 3 vigilante, the backup backup backup day 3 vigilante, the backup backup backup backup vigilante, the backup backup backup backup backup day 3 vigilante, the backup backup backup backup backup backup day 3 vigilante, the backup backup backup backup backup backup backup day 3 vigilante, the backup backup backup backup backup backup backup backup day 3 vigilante, the backup backup backup backup backup backup backup backup backup day 3 vigilante, and the backup backup backup backup backup backup backup backup backup backup day 3 vigilante die, you will become the day 3 vigilante.

after a long, long period of deliberation, the town finally comes to a plan. the plan is perfect and completely foolproof, and there's absolutely no way it can fail, and everyone is completely confident that it will result in absolute victory.

the plan is this: they'll kill Llamarble, and then see what happens from there.

you see, they started to realize something was up with the way that Llamarble seemed to have entirely replaced someone else earlier. like, that doesn't make any sense, right???? how would you even do that? how would a person have the function of replacing another person from, like, a teleological perspective? that sounds fake as hell, and it's proof that Llamarble is actually evil and must be destroyed. an abberation. a thing that should not be.

"now, hold on," Llamarble says to all of this. "it's certainly true that I am part of the evil group that has been plotting the town's downfall this whole time, but that's totally unrelated to the fact that I replaced someone! I was literally a neutral party before that point in time, so you can't judge me for that."

"but didn't you just say aloud that you are evil?" someone replies. "like, you said it just now out loud in front of all of us."

"aw beans" Llamarble says, lamenting this crucial error.

"yeah," someone replies. "Llamarble said 'aw beans' just before we killed him for being evil."

"well that's a funny coincidence," randomidget says, "because I couldn't find Echo Bay Grits anywhere. I couldn't even find their website or look them up on Google Maps! it was horseshit. but I got these beans because I was hungry, but I haven't eaten them yet. they're a little expired, but sometimes that's just a thing that happens when you can't find the food you really want to eat. anyway yeah I'm back so feel free to, like, hang out and shit."

after a long night's rest, you all wake up and decide to have an impromptu discussion of your childhood memories. there's the time one of you accidentally learned French, and the time one of you was implicated in a serious crime for which you were later exonerated. and who could forget the time one of you played an extra on an episode of the hit American situational comedy

Friends

? that was a classic. but the best story that any of you have is the time you... huh. that's weird. you're definitely sure there was an anecdote about accidentally eating an entire bowl of very hot chilis and having to go to the emergency room on Arbor Day.

suddenly you all realize that the Arbor Day emergency story was definitely one that someone told you all, and that the person who told you that definitely isn't here anymore. what sort of adventure did that zany, wacky person get into this time, you all wonder. well, you quickly learn what kind of adventure it was: it was the kind where you're dead.

"I think we should do a quick headcount to see who else is missing," is what drealmerz7 would say if it weren't for the fact that he is the one who is dead, which is disappointing, because he got interrupted partway through his story, which was transitioning into a segment about a hot dog eating contest, and you were all on the edges of your seats waiting to hear the rest of it, except for whomever interrupted him, who you figure is probably responsible for his death.

your faction also has access to a kill each night. you may freely use your kill along with any other powers that you have access to.

"hey," someone says, "did someone carve a pumpkin for Halloween?"

"uh, yeah, I carved a pumpkin," someone else replies. "why?"

"well it's like 2 weeks into November almost and it's super gross. I think we should throw it out now."

and so that's what they do.

[xyzzy]

the four of you wake up, and are immediately struck with the realization that there were more than 4 of you when you went to sleep. that's weird. nevertheless, there's not much to be done about it except get to the current day. you take a quick headcount so you can be absolutely sure, and, yep, only 4 of you. you remember all the people who aren't here anymore, and you ponder whether it was all worth it. I mean, it wouldn't have been that expensive for the folks who died to have just moved somewhere else. you all would have chipped in to help out with that. people just want to surive.

well, except for people who want to survive and who also want to win popularity contests, but they're okay if they only get one. and also people who aren't so much concerned with whether they in particular survive but only whether at least one of the people with whom they are aligned survive. which, I guess, both of the people who died fit into those categories. what can you do though????

anyway: there's 4 of you left, get to it~

chesskid3

popular survivor day 3 vigilante

you are the popular survivor! you have two ways you can win the game: either stay alive until the end of the game, or be a popular player. each night, as long as there are 5 or more players alive, I will send a short questionnaire to each player, and one of the questions on it will be "who are the top 3 living players other than yourself who you feel have contributed the most to making this a fun game?" if you are ever in the top 3 for every player, then when the game ends, you will be one of the winners.

you also have a neighborhood with [some folks]

you have a day vigilante kill on day 3.

randomidget

zombie backup*7 day 3 vigilante

you have the following posting restriction: you may only post votes for other players, the word "grr", and the word "brains".

if the day 3 vigilante, the backup day 3 vigilante, the backup backup day 3 vigilante, the backup backup backup day 3 vigilante, the backup backup backup backup vigilante, the backup backup backup backup backup day 3 vigilante, and the backup backup backup backup backup backup day 3 vigilante die, you will become the day 3 vigilante.

Snarky scanned as mafia also

@mod Did rando's win condition change?

Would game end with 2 maf + 1 town + 1 surivior?

oh, sorry, at some point while making the beginning of day 6 post I accidentally removed the win condition from that PM. it should have the standard town win condition.

to answer your second question: the game would continue in that scenario, because whether the survivor wins or not is not determined until one of the other two factions included in that scenario completely eliminated the other.

votecount 6.02

3 players voting for Not_Mafia (Vecna, Chickadee, SnarkySnowman)

4 players not voting (Chickadee, Not_Mafia, SnarkySnowman, Vecna)

with 4 votes, it takes 3 to lynch.

day 6 will end in (expired on 2017-11-28 00:15:00).

"I believe I've solved this whole thing," Vecna says. "we've just gotta lynch Not_Mafia, and then the town wins."

"right," SnarkySnowman says. "we all want the town to win."

"right," Chickadee says. "we all have a horse in that particular race."

"now, hold on just a mi--" Not_Mafia says.

"right," Vecna interrupts. "I'm glad we're all in agreement. why, I'm sure if we were killing me, we would be completely, 100% unanimous about it. even I would have to be in agreement for that to happen! which means that as long as we lynch Not_Mafia, we can be sure that that's what Not_Mafia would want. all in favor say aye."

Vecna and Chickadee both say "aye."

"I'm absolutely sure there's no way this can possibly go wrong for me," SnarkySnowman says. "aye."

and then Not_Mafia and SnarkySnowman are instantly killed by a meteor slamming into the Earth.

several minutes later, noted actor Danny Trejo arrives. "hi, everyone," Danny Trejo says. "I was away for a week on press junket for an upcoming movie. what did I miss?"

"not much," Vecna and Chickadee say. "by the way, chesskid3 died, but before he died, the whole town unanimously elected him most popular person in the town. isn't that neat?"

"that is neat," Danny Trejo says. "my next movie is now dedicated to chesskid3. this remains true even if you don't see it acknowledged anywhere in the film itself. this is canon."

Not_Mafia

super saint bulletproof cop backup*2 day 3 vigilante

you win when all players that oppose the town are eliminated.

each night, you may target another player, and you will learn whether that player is part of the mafia or not.

you cannot be killed at night.

if you are lynched, the last person to have voted for you will automatically die.

if the day 3 vigilante and the backup day 3 vigilante die, you will become the day 3 vigilante.

SnarkySnowman

SnarkySnowman the serial killer questionnaire investigator 1-shot bulletproof backup*3 day 3 vigilante

you win the game when no members of the mafia or the town are alive, or if only you and a member of the mafia are alive.

you are SnarkySnowman, a serial killer, and you possess the following secret knowledge: there are 7 independent factions of players who can win this game. there's you, there's a mafia, there's a town, there's 3 different survivors, and there's the dead players.

each night, you can target a player and choose 2 questions from the questionnaire. you will learn what answers that player gave to those questions.

each night, you can target a player. that player will die. this is a factional ability.

the first time you would die during the night, you will instead not die. if multiple things would kill you in the same night, you'll survive.

if the day 3 vigilante, the backup day 3 vigilante, and the backup backup day 3 vigilante die, you will become the day 3 vigilante.

Vecna, Llamarble, Dunkerdoodles, EddieFenix, chesskid3, Chickadee, and noted American actor Danny Trejo have won!

I'll begin revealing private threads pretty soon, including the neighborhood that I completely forgot existed until last night because no one used it, and the legendary Alisae private topic just for Alisae!

[xyzzy]

some quick behind the scenes notes before we start getting into private threads:

1)gosh it's hard keeping track of everything going on in a game like this. luckily I never made any totally irreversible mod errors, and in general, when it wasn't a simple fix, I was able to just run with it and things generally worked out just fine! it helps that improvising my way through the game when necessary felt completely in the spirit of the game. if you comb through all the private threads, you'll probably find small things that I missed, but I'm 99% sure I never fucked up who died or anything, so that's good!
2)initially, drealmerz7 had the role Not_Mafia ended up with, but those two roles got switched by the role switcher. the cop was paranoid, and while there was obviously a lot of discussion of cop sanity regarding that role, I'm actually really surprised that that possibility never came up.
3)the flying pumpkin that shoots laser beams out of its ass copies whatever action the target performs, except if the action has a target, the target becomes the person the pumpkin player targeted; if the action has two targets, the pumpkin player becomes the other target. the only really big thing happened as a result of this was that SnarkySnowman lost his bulletproof shield by being the target of a serial killer kill. there was actually the possibility for some really wild shit to happen involving the bus driver, and the game actually got really close to that happening, but unfortunately it didn't pan out.

[xyzzy]

notably, if Chickadee had hammered Not_Mafia, the game would've gone to night 6 where most likely the town would have won -- the town win condition doesn't actually require any members of the town to be alive, only that the mafia and serial killer are all dead.

here's another fun fact: when I put an innocent child death miller treestump in this game, it absolutely never occurred to me that this might become game-relevant at some point

[xyzzy]

also, my new game "Echo Bay Grits SEO" will be coming to the large theme queue at some point soon! it will be absolutely nothing like this game despite this game being full of flavor text foreshadowing to it!

[xyzzy]

tbh 1:3:4:12 probably isn't balanced, but it can't be worse than the 1:2:3:7 of TBD Mafia 1

[xyzzy]

it actually took awhile for me to notice because starting with night 2 I didn't really have much reason to pay super close attention to the results once at least one person didn't vote for chesskid3.

here is a question for you: what on earth prompted you to fake that posting restriction? I was completely sure it was building up to something
