Game over; see page 14 to see who won.

[Mr. Flay]

Of course, this would all be a lot easier if you weren't sure that some of you haddunnit. Two of you, in fact, though you're not sure who else is what. Here's the possibilities:

Roles:

2 people are

Scum:

You are

Scum

, along with your partner _________. Your goal is to eliminate the pro-town players so that only you remain; you win if this happens. During the Day, try to blend in with the rest of the players, and get someone lynched (if that someone is not your partner or yourself, that will make things much easier). You may talk with your partner when it is not Day, and send me a choice via PM of who you wish to kill.

Note: You may talk with your partner privately during confirmations to plan strategy, but no kills will happen until Night One.

Either 1 person, or nobody, is a

Doctor:

You are the

Doctor

, and you can protect people from harm. Each Night, you may send me a choice via PM of who to protect; if they come under attack by the scum, they will live. You win if the scum are eliminated, so choose wisely at Night, and try to lynch correct during the Day.

Note: Doctors are 100% effective in Newbie Games (no quacks). You may not protect yourself.

Either 1 person, or nobody, is a

Cop:

You are the

Cop

, and you can tell good from bad. Each Night, you may send a player's name to me; I will let you know if your investigation shows that they are Scum or Town. You win if the scum are eliminated, so choose wisely at Night, and lynch well during the Day.

Note: Cops are 100% effective in Newbie Games (no sanity issues). You cannot investigate yourself.

The rest of you (3, 4, or 5, for those keeping count) are

Townies:

You are a

Townie

, and you've got no special powers at Night. No investigations, no protection, no gun to shoot people. But, you do have a vote, which is quite powerful (though no more powerful than anyone else's vote). Help lynch scum during the Day, and you will win the game, along with the rest of the Town.

This is commonly known as the

C9

setup, for reasons mostly known to Norinel.

Even though most games start with Night, newbie games begin with Day once everyone has confirmed that they understand their role. Scum are allowed to talk by PM in the pregame, but no other "night actions" may be taken.

Rules:

• Votes should be in bold for them to count, like this:
  Vote: John
  . Unvotes should likewise be bolded (
  Unvote: Jane
  ) so that I can spot them easier.
• A simple majority of votes (1/2 the number of living players plus one, rounded down) will achieve a lynch and end the Day. Unvoting after that point will not save someone's life. If a deadline is imposed, the required number of votes will be lowered, so be careful.
• Nights will last up to 72 hours, but may be shorter if all night choices are in before the deadline.
• Dead men tell no tales. If you get killed, stop talking until the game is over (a single "Bah!' post with no game information is acceptable).
• Do not discuss this game with other players outside of this thread, unless your role PM specifically stated you could do so (as scum, and then only at night).
• Do not directly quote any PMs you receive from me; I have already posted the roles above, but this holds true for any future messages you receive from me as well.
• If you see something you don't understand,
  ASK!
  Newbie games are here for people to learn and understand; either I or one of the other players will respond to your question. If it has to do with your role, feel free to PM me directly.
• Treat this game as a commitment; if you're going to be gone for longer than 48 hours (not counting weekends),
  let us know
  . I will replace severely inactive players, but they may choose to lynch you themselves first.
• Have fun; don't be an ass;
  participate

Roles are going out; please confirm in thread when you are ready to play.

ConfirMMed

[DogMom]

/confirm

[DeathSauce]

Confirmed and ready

[shadowdeath]

Confirmed.

[Machiavellian-Mafia]

I noticed that Sage is now crossed out. Is he getting replaced?

[Mr. Flay]

Yep, Sage said he couldn't handle another game right now, so I'm hunting for another IC.

[Sudo_Nym]

/confirm

[leee]

/confirm

Just an FYI, I can't post to mafiascum when I'm at work (I can read it, though), so usually during the week I won't be able to post until evenings.

[Mojo]

/confirm

If I understand correctly I'm replacing Sage.

[Mr. Flay]

Correct, but since Sage was never even here, I took him off the list entirely.

It is now Day One; with seven of you alive, four votes will be enough to lynch.

[Machiavellian-Mafia]

Vote: leee

because he reminds me of the Confederate General Robert E. Lee

[Mojo]

Vote: Machiavellian-Mafia

because every time I look at his avatar, the first word that comes to my mind is 'evil'.

[Sudo_Nym]

Random Vote: Mojo

for having a username identical to my best friend's dog who just died (the dog, not the friend).

[leee]

I guess this is the part where I <b>random vote Sudo_Nym</b> because I don't trust people who don't post under their real names.

[DogMom]

Random Vote: DeathSauce

just because I like the name. DeathSauce: Not Just For Breakfast Anymore! Yeah, I like that.

And psst, leee: UBB code, not HTML code. UBB puts brackets [] around the coding, not <>.
(I do that

all the time

, too. And the other way around as well. Tough to keep 'em straight, innit?)

[shadowdeath]

Random vote: DogMom

Obviously a mom of dogs is scum.

[Machiavellian-Mafia]

Unvote, vote: DogMom

, we need to start wagoning and not distribute votes evenly amongst everyone.

[Mojo]

Unvote: Machiavellian-Mafia
Vote: shadowdeath

[DogMom]

Hey!

Unvote, OMGUS vote on Machiavellian-Mafia

.

And to think I was going to say how much I was enjoying following your "Good Ol' Mafia" game. Huh.

[DogMom]

EBWOP to add: After-the-fact rationalization for voting MM:

Hmmmm, starting a bandwagon already, eh?

Obviously

a scum move. Yup, I'm happy with my vote against MM. You're targeting all the innocent townies, aren't you, scum?

[DogMom]

Random vote: DogMom

Obviously a mom of dogs is scum.

You're a cat person, aren't you?

[leee]

[quote="DogMom"]And psst, leee: UBB code, not HTML code. UBB puts brackets [] around the coding, not <>.
(I do that [i]all the time[/i], too. And the other way around as well. Tough to keep 'em straight, innit?)[/quote]

Yeah, I hate BBCode and I thought I tricked out my profile to allow HTML, but apparently it doesn't work.

Also, I like dogs, and I like moms, ergo I should [i]like[/i] like DogMom! [b]unvote Sudo_Nym, VOTE MACCHIAVELLI[/b].

Can I also [b]FOS: MOJO[/b]? Awfully arbitrary, some would say SUSPICIOUS, vote switch.

[leee]

Obviously I'm a moran.

unvote Sudo_Nym, VOTE MACCHIAVELLI

.

FOS: MOJO
