game 24 night 0 and on that train

Posted January 19, 2014 by MajorasMask9

A group of travelers board a train once more, moving to yet another town. This was the fourth town in a single week they've traveled to, and they were hoping it would finally be their last.

But little did the group know that it may very well be the last... for some of them... Unbeknownst to them, an elite faction of killers had blended in with the group, and were getting ready to make this train ride take a detour to Hell...

The Players:

1. chiefsonny
2. Redack

12. Lady Flare
13. The Bandit

Ratio: 4-12-1
Roles: Lazy Ninja, Lazy Janitor, Mafia Investigator, Ballot Forger
Oracle, Tracker, Nurse, Bad Break Billy, Lover x2, Townie x6
Replacement

The Power Roles:

Lazy Ninja - Can choose to make the mafia's kill undetectable by the Tracker. Can only use their power two times per game.

Lazy Janitor - Can choose to make a player who dies at night unidentifiable to the town--only the mafia will know the role of the person who died. Can only use their power once per game.

Mafia Investigator - Can choose a player each night. The Mafia Investigator will then learn the exact role of that person.

Ballot Forger - Each night, can pick one player to forge a vote for, and can decide who the vote will be for. The next day, regardless of who the player they picked votes for, it will secretly count as a vote for whoever the Ballot Forger picked. (ie, if the Ballot Forger decides to make MajorasMask9 vote for Frustro, even if MajorasMask9 votes for White Thunder the following day, it will count as a vote for Frustro.)

Oracle - Each night, the Oracle can pick one player. If the Oracle dies that night, the role of the person they picked will be publicly revealed to the town.

Tracker - Can choose a person to track each night. The tracker will find out who that player visited, if anyone.

Nurse - Similar to the Doctor, the Nurse can protect a player at night. However in doing so, they also roleblock said player.

Bad Break Billy - This unfortunate fellow just never gets a good break! Bad Break Billy doesn't have any actions, but similar to the Sleepwalker, he will leave his house at night. Bad Break Billy has the misfortune of always visiting the person who ends up dying! Aww man!!! Hopefully the Tracker wasn't looking...

Lovers - These two lovebirds have their own romantic Love Suite that they run off to in the midst of the night. They will know each other's identities and can romantically talk sweet game strategy together. However, if one of them dies, the other will be broken hearted... and will take their own life...

Replacement - A third party role. The Replacement does nothing for the first few rounds, but on Night 2, they must pick another living player to replace. The Replacement will kill that player and steal their role. The replacement cannot die until they become another role.

Game-Specific Notes:

  • Out of Game Communication is allowed. This means it is acceptable to discuss the game with other players outside of the main thread, whether through the gtx0 notifications feature, instant messaging services, etc.

  • Night talk will be on. This means the threads won't be locked at night and you can discuss the game in the main thread.

  • If the Replacement replaces a person who will end up being mafia killed, the Replacement will still die. If the Replacement replaces the Tracker, they will not get the Tracker's previous results. If the Replacement replaces a Lover, the remaining Lover will fall in love with their Replacement Lover. If the Replacement replaces the Oracle, the person the original Oracle selected will NOT be revealed to the town upon their death.

  • The Janitor CAN hide the Replacement's kill if they manage to guess who will die somehow. Additionally, the Janitor's use will NOT count as a use if the person they try to hide the body of is protected by the Nurse. It only counts as a use when the body is hidden.

  • The Lovers will always appear to visit one another at night. ie, if Player 1 and Player 2 were the lovers, and the Tracker watched Player 1, the tracker would get the result of "Player 1 visited Player 2."

  • The Nurse will roleblock most roles, except for Bad Break Billy, the Lovers, and the Replacement. These roles will always appear to be visiting, regardless of whether they were roleblocked, and the Replacement will always have top priority.

  • The Replacement has top priority, meaning even if their target is protected, the kill will go through.

    Night Action Priority List:

    -Replacement
    -Bad Break Billy
    -Nurse Protect/Block
    -Oracle Pick
    -Lovers Love
    -Mafia Kill
    -Janitor Hides Body
    -Ballot Forger Forges Vote
    -Tracker Gets Results

    Night will end in 24 hours, when all actions or in, or when the site breaks. Actions for Night 0 are only needed from: Nurse, Tracker, Mafia Investigator, Ballot Forget.

  • There are 32 Replies


    And for people that are still catching up: There was another reset because of a site glitch that made replies from certain threads public when they shouldn't have been. Hopefully, this will be the last reset.

    Quick rewrite for the notes on the Replacement:

  • If the Replacement replaces a person who will end up being mafia killed, the Replacement will still take the role of that player. If the Replacement replaces the Tracker, they will not get the Tracker's previous results. If the Replacement replaces a Lover, the remaining Lover will fall in love with their new replacement Lover. If the Replacement replaces the Oracle, the person the original Oracle selected will NOT be revealed to the town upon their death.

    Wow, this game is messy... the town has as many bad roles as good ones. This will require mad observation skills.

    What happens to BBB on Night 2? Will he visit both kills?

    January 20, 2014
    hezekiah

    He will visit whichever one the mafia killed (assuming they aren't Nurse protected).

    Thank you for being so quick to jump in and take the Host role, Majora. I'm sure we all appreciate the quick turnaround after yet another restart.

    Anyway, the Ballot Forger is a really, really scary role and we need to keep it in mind moving forward. As long as they're alive, it's a two-point swing in the votes, so if we get to a point where the Town is up 6-4 or 5-4, the Mafia will have essentially won as long as they're all active enough to cast a vote. The Investigator is also an extremely powerful Mafia role, though slightly less useful given that we don't actually have many useful power roles (still will help them find the Lovers, though). We have an uphill battle ahead of us IMO.

    Hi. Oh gee. It feels nice to be free from all the resets. Thank you majora. <3

    Bandit, I know where you're coming from. I was a townie three times in a row. Of course, my role this time is a secret to everyone!

    Okay, wasn't expecting that. Oh well, at least we don't have to start over three games ago; that would have been crazy.

    Anyway, the last time we had a Ballot Forger, I believe it was in that game where we had only about twelve people playing, and it was removed mid-game since lancer (who hosted that game) thought it was two overpowered, and we in the Mafia agreed (I was Mafia that game). It'll be interesting to see how it plays out this time.

    Also nice use of the Janitor -- perfect way to limit that role's power.

    Seems like I got back from vacation just in time. So this game was re-set twice?

    I've never used the Nurse before. Is he allowed to protect himself? I would assume that he isn't...

    Although the role changes are pretty drastic, I'm still OK with killing someone on Day1. It may help us find the ballot changer man, and we have slightly better odds on hitting a mafia. The Lovers hurt us a bit with random lynches, but I still think it's worth the shot.

    Three times. lol

    The Bandit

    Yes, the Nurse will not be allowed to target themselves :)

    I'm still OK with killing someone on Day1

    Are you ready to follow your own advice?

    Lady Flare

    Don't you just love it when you get a decent role, then it resets and you get another decent role so you think. Ok this wasn't so bad... Then it resets and you get nothing!

    {fp}

    Oh well, I'll just have to live knowing power was within my grasp and then stolen away :(

    I just want all of the actions to come early so we can play. I felt bad for those who waited :/

    So, night talk willbe on through out the game, right Majora? Or, just Night 0?

    I'd just like to mention that I think the idea for the Replacement is quite clever.

    So... if the Replacement targets one of the lovers, the lover will die and the Replacement will become the new lover, right? Could you imagine how awkward that would be for the other lover? (duck)

    January 20, 2014
    Jo Nathan

    Of course, Speed... of course.

    But, anyway, yea the Replacement seems pretty interesting.
