game 42 night 1 the snow dog counts snow sheep

Posted March 16, 2016 by Xhin

WELCOME TO GAME 42!!!

I am excited to be hosting again. It's been a long time, we have a lot of players, and some cool new mechanics.

Your usernames are different!

Because you guys have played 42 games together and know how each other play, I've decided this game to introduce a code names feature.

Each of you is a distinct Rush Song. You post as that song name, people see you as that song name, and the votes are set and tallied as that code name.

I tried to hit every area that a person's actual username would be shown here, but if I'm wrong, please send me a private message and I'll fix it.

Round Information

I have a full-time job so we're scheduling the rounds around that.

  • Each round (day or night) ends at 7pm, EDT.
  • It might take me up to 10pm to finish moving to the next round, but nothing that happens after 7pm EDT counts.

  • Day rounds last 48 hours.
  • Night rounds last 24 hours.

  • If someone gets 2/3 of the votes during the day round before 24 hours have passed, I will end the round a day early. This again follows the 7pm rule -- 2/3 must be accumulated between 7pm one day and 7pm the next.

  • If all night actions get in before 1am EDT, I'll go ahead and move to the next day round, which will be however many hours that is shorter.

  • A shortened night round and a shortened day round cannot follow each other.

    Hopefully with these rules, I'll have plenty of time to do stuff but you guys won't get confused either when we start having super-short rounds.

    Player List and new roles

    Let's look at our player list:

    1. Working Man
    2. Anthem
    3. By-Tor
    4. Snow Dog
    5. Fly By Night
    6. 2112
    7. Passage to Bangkok
    8. Farewell to Kings
    9. Xanadu
    10. Cinderella Man
    11. Circumstances
    12. The Trees
    13. La Villa Strangiato
    14. Spirit of Radio
    15. Freewill
    16. Jacob's Ladder
    17. Tom Sawyer
    18. Red Barchetta -- died before she lived :(
    19. YYZ
    20. Limelight
    21. Subdivisions

    Ratio: 15, 5

    Roles:
    Kingpin, Enforcer, Rebel, Mafiosox2
    Bumbling Cop, Security Guard, Doctor, Shaman, Roommatesx2, Towniesx9


    Here's what they do!

    Kingpin -- Every night round, finds out who the Bumbling Cop investigated. Once per game, they can make the result come back wrong.

    Enforcer -- Every night round they can beat someone up. Someone who is beat up knows that they're beaten up at the start of the day round and maybe should try to get some of that sweet sweet doctor love. If they don't then at the start of the next day they die. It goes something like this..

    Night 1 -- Enforcer lays the SMACK DOWN on dudebro.
    Day 1 -- dudebro is pretty beat up, bros. asks for a doc potion or three.
    Night 1 -- the doc is like "NOP" and doesn't save dudebro
    Beginning of Day 1 -- dudebro has died :(

    Rebel -- Normal mafioso. During the day round they can choose to become one of the dead mafia power roles (but don't have to).

    --------

    Bumbling Cop -- Puts in a name during the Day Round. At the start of the next Day Round they find out if that person is innocent or guilty. It's possible for it to come back wrong twice per game (Kingpin, Rebel turned Kingpin)

    Doctor -- Once per night round, gives the name of a person. They can choose to either save that person from a mafia night kill, or to cure them if they're beat up (in which case they don't die during the night).

    Security Guard -- Once per night round, gives the name of a person. If that person were to be night killed or beaten up by the mafia, that is prevented. Instead, the highest-ranking mafia member goes into a Coma and can't use their special abilities or post in either the main thread or the mafia thread for a full day round and a full night round.

    Shaman -- Once per night they are given a name. If they successfully convince two other players the following day to vote for that person, they get to be a Watcher during the next night round:

    Watcher - Chooses one person's house to stake out each night and learns who visited that person.


    Roommates -- Get to talk together in a special thread and know who each other are. Other than that, no special powers or weaknesses. (Lovers without the Love).

    ----

    Day 1 will end at 7pm, March 17th EDT regardless of how many people vote for "No Kill".

    Farewell to Kings

    And here I thought my name was a reference to sexual intercourse. "A passage to bang C*ck".

    Passage to Bangkok

    IF YOU ARE THE COP, MAKE SURE YOU PUT IN YOUR INVESTIGATION BEFORE THE DAY ROUND ENDS (you have ~42 hours).

    Just a friendly warning since this ain't like most cop-something-something games, folks.

    Also note, yes this game will have a story, but I was running pretty late as is.

    Tomorrow I'd like to:

  • Start up a little mafia story

  • make up some mycards so the rush songs look more like the real deal.

    Few questions:

    1. 3-1 ratio? Isn't it normally a 2-1 ratio? Any reason for this change?

    2. Are we allowed to reveal our real names?

    3. Will the town know who the Enforcer beats up as well? Or just the victim?

    Spirit of Radio

    1. 3-1 ratio? Isn't it normally a 2-1 ratio? Any reason for this change?

    Because barring protector saves, the mafia gets two night kills. I'll add another mafia to the pool if you feel there needs to be another one, but 7 mafia is kind of pushing it.

    2. Are we allowed to reveal our real names?

    If you want to.

    3. Will the town know who the Enforcer beats up as well? Or just the victim?

    Just the victim. So yes a mafia could pretend to be beaten up.

    Hey Xhin, 5+1=6, not 7.

    March 16, 2016
    Passage to Bangkok

    Yeah, I meant I'd be okay with there being 6 mafia, but not with there being 7 mafia because of the Enforcer and especially the Rebel.

    Anthem

    Sounds like a good game. Really dig the time limits.

    March 16, 2016
    Cinderella Man

    It seems that the day 1 no-kill has already begun to take root.

    March 16, 2016
    The Trees

    I think this is gonna be a fun game y'all.

    March 16, 2016
    Xanadu

    Anon should make for an interesting game this time around.

    Killing is wrong.

    Farewell to Kings

    The anonymous names is a cool change up.

    So far, peaceful.

    La Villa Strangiato

    Very weird not being able to recognize anyone!

    March 16, 2016
    By-Tor

    I am not a number! I am a free man!

    March 16, 2016
    2112

    ...still think my name sounds sexual...

    What else is there to do at this point?

    March 16, 2016
    Passage to Bangkok

    I'll make sure to D1NK so that doesn't go through...

    Yeah, we're going to have to carefully observe to remember everyone who is playing and observe trends n stuff. You know, what we usually do with names, except now we don't know who is who.

    March 16, 2016
    Xanadu

    To help keep track of who's done what (or hasn't), I wish the Tally Table started with everyone Not Voting. C'est la vie.

    Whoops! Did NOT realize I did that...

    What do you mean, Xanadu?

    For some reason I was unable to post while away from this computer. It said my password was invalid?

    March 17, 2016
    Fly By Night

    Well, at least the way I normally play the game, I look at each player's behavior and see what they've done and how they've acted over several rounds. This is going to be harder because there we have to learn 20 new names, associate them with a certain behavior, and then analyze it.

    Not saying it's bad, just another challenge.

    March 17, 2016
    Xanadu

    Working 2 jobs now.

    They can change our names, but they can't change our Day 1 voting habits.

    March 17, 2016

    Oh yeah almost forgot

    Anthem donned his top hat. "I think we should do nothing."

    "I agree!" said Tom Sawyer, smoking his pipe.
