Mafia 88- Return to New Catania- Game Over!

[The Fonz]

Mod Note: This game is a sequel to Trouble in New Catania, which you may find in the Little Italy forum.

When the last remnants of Salvatore Panucci's mob were removed from New Catania, the citizens believed they were entering a new era of peace and prosperity. How wrong they were. Organised crime, like nature, abhors a vacuum. Just over a year had passed since the last of Panucci's goons had been lynched, and a familiar report greeted viewers of the Breakfast News- another prominent citizen had been found dead in an abandoned warehouse, his body riddled with bullets.

But on the bright side, at least the citizens knew exactly what to do!

1.)
This game begins with day. Day one will start when everyone has confirmed via PM. Any group which has an ability to communicate at night may also communicate before the first day begins.

2.) During the day you can vote for a player that you think should be lynched. Votes must be in the form Vote: Player otherwise they won't be counted. Players do not need to unvote when switching their votes, but it would be appreciated. All votes and unvotes must be in bold. It is also possible to vote no-lynch.

3.) When a player (or abstract concept) reaches a majority of votes, they are lynched. I will reveal their role, and the game will move into night. No discussion takes place during the night, except amongst roles who have been given specific permission to do so.

4.) This game will have automatic deadlines of two months for day one, and one month for all days thereafter. There will be no extensions, save for those caused by my being unable to access the site for a short period after the posted deadline. Should the deadline hit without a majority being achieved, there will be no lynch.

5.) No talking to other players, dead or alive, outside of the thread, unless your role specifically permits it.

6.) Once dead, you stop posting. A bah post is fine though.

7.) If you have any questions, feel free to PM me.

8.) Try to post as often as possible. Treat the game as a committment. If you go inactive, you will be replaced.

9.) I'll try to post votecounts as often as possible. Feel free to ask for a votecount at any time.

10.) Do not make verbally abuse any participants of this game at any point. This is a game, and I will not tolerate childish insults. Any personal attacks will result in punishments-up to and including Modkills.

11.) Do not in any way quote or fakequote your role PM. This is a modkillable offence. Any attempt to ascertain another players' role from the wording of their PM will be dealt with likewise.

This game contains at least one vanilla townie, whose PM looks like this:

You are an honest, hardworking citizen of New Catania, also known as a

Townie.

You've very much enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere around the town since the Panucci gang were defeated, and you'd very much like things to return to that state ASAP, even if all you have to contribute are your wits, your voice and your vote. And if it involves a little mob justice, well, you can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs, now can you?

You win when all threats to New Catania have been eliminated.

[The Fonz]

With only one player left to confirm, I'll be opening this tomorrow (technically, tonight) regardless of whether xyzzy has confirmed or not.

[The Fonz]

Still no xyzzy- ah well.

It is now day one- with 22 alive, it takes 12 votes to lynch.

Don't like this. Although the random voting stage isn't particularly vital, it can often help jumpstart conversation, get reactions going, etc. This vote provides no information to the town that can be discussed later, such as voting patterns, etc. In addition, it provides very little discussion or reacting by itself, while votes on a player can help create reactions, and start conversation.

In fact, I find that depriving the town of information, even information this small, to be somewhat scummy. Although it's more definately not a solid case, it's a start, and I feel that this has more potential to get the conversation going than simply ignoring it and random voting. Therefore,

Thank you for taking the comment out of context. Let's look at the comment that you quoted, while examining the entirety of the post.

vote: no lynch

This vote provides no information to the town that can be discussed later,

You quoted this, denoting ellipsis which states that the post continues, yet you cut my post off in the middle of a sentence, the rest of it being particularly vital.

such as voting patterns, etc.

In addition, it provides very little discussion or reacting by itself, while votes on a player can help create reactions, and start conversation.

By voting no lynch, what you did was make a vote that won't be able to really provide much information to the town, due to how obviously jokey it was. Although it's not neccesarily vital information for the town, random voting could help later on down the road. You are, therefore, depriving the town of information. Your vote, in fact, consisted of nothing more than half-baked OMGUS based on quote-mining.

Another important part of my post is the use of the phrase "by itself". Although your vote may start discussion due to others commenting on how scummy the vote is, and create reactions, by itself it does not give the town any information to analyze so that they can learn more about your alignment. And that is something that I feel, especially this early in the game, is extremely important.

The quote was clearly talking about the random voting stage in general, and was saying that your vote was the exception, when examined in context.

Bandwagons are fun! (That and I agree with the whole 'no lynch is bad' sentamant.)

Vote: Hoopla

Out of curiousity, what do you personally believe will come out of this wagon? Why did you choose to hop onto an avenue already being persued, rather than examine the reactions of other players by casting your vote in their directly?

You're welcome.

I don't expect to be able to prove my innocence in my opening post, so obtaining information on multiple players for the town is a more worthwhile investment. Don't worry, there'll be plenty of time for interrogations.

Just letting everyone know I'm here, but I'll start play in the morning. Don't make me read too much.

Bah. You ruined the entire fun out of it :/. But, I was also partly trying to get someone put up a nonsensical case based on it, but I guess it doesn't matter now, and probably wouldn't have mattered all that much anyway.

Well done buddy. You just disproved your own argument. If voting No-Lynch didnt provoke discussion, YOU WOULDNT HAVE BEEN DISCUSSING IT. If voting no-lynch didnt illicit reactions, YOU WOULDNT HAVE VOTED FOR HOOPLA.

He left a trap, and you fell right into it.
