Mafia

night 1 let it begin

Posted July 25, 2013 by white lancer

Mere days after he had been elected as the town Mayor, Feral was called away on a secret mission. The town wished him well and assured him that they would hold his place for him, but privately they were worried. The Godfather and his cronies, the Janitor, Hooker, and Mafioso had only recently made their presence known, and they had already offed Shadowwalked, Trever Leingod, and weid man. Even worse, Feral's temporary successor, white lancer, was known to be a lazy SOB and wouldn't be much help against this threat at all. The Town would have to deal with this themselves.

Alas, things were even worse than they thought. As the Town trudged back from bidding Feral goodbye, they came across the battered and bloodied body of Helius, the bartender. One look at him, and the Town realized that they had another foe to deal with, for smeared across his chest (in blood, of course) was a message: MY TOWN.

The Serial Killer had arrived, and they despise both the foolish Townspeople and the arrogant Mafia. Every night, they get a Nightkill of their own, and they're stealthy enough so that they can evade any form of detection/nightkill attempts against them. They're going to need that advantage, because as a third party role, their goal is to be the last person standing.

After Helius' death, the Town Drunk burst into tears, and then immediately called dibs on the storeroom. As the new keeper of the town's alcoholic beverages, they decided that it was their job to keep the Town's, ahem, spirits up. Every night, they can choose someone as their drinking buddy for the night, and the two of them will have a grand old time. Drinking beer is distracting work, however, and the Town Drunk has powers identical to the Hooker: they roleblock their target for the night and prevent them from performing any actions (also like the Hooker, they can't select the same person two nights in a row). If the Town Drunk doesn't choose a drinking buddy on any night, they drink themselves into a stupor and are Silenced for the next round.

In the absence of a competent leader, the Watcher stepped up and declared that they would help to stop the Mafia. I believe we've played with a Watcher before, but just to recap: the Watcher selects a target every night and gets to see who visited that house (if the Mafia Nightkill that person, just the first person who voted for that person will be revealed). The Serial Killer and Godfather can both escape detection, but the Watcher will see all other visitors.

Not all are as vigilant as the Watcher, however. The Commuter just works here, but they live a few towns over. Every night, they can choose to return home and be safe from all night actions, but they can't do this multiple nights in a row. The Survivor, on the other hand, doesn't even care who wins. They'll be willing to strike a deal with any side, as long as they can get out of this mess alive (they win with any team as long as they're alive at the end of the game). The Lawyer would like to see the Town win, but they're also dedicated to winning cases. They're like a one-person Governor--they select someone each night and prevent them from being lynched during the day (they can select themselves). Finally, one Townie decided to give in outright and become the Traitor. He is attempting to help the Mafia win, but he doesn't know who they are, and the Mafia have only heard rumors of his existence. They'll have to work towards a victory and hopefully not hit each other in the process.

Oh, and there's also a Doctor. So there's that.

The roster:

1. Speed Bike Pro
2. The Bandit
3. White Thunder
4. Black Yoshi
5. chiefsonny
6. Bubba
7. Apollo Justice
8. MajorasMask9
9. Pirate_Ninja
10. Zanic
11. Castrael
12. Kyon
13. Female Alpha Wolf
14. Jo Nathan
15. Count Dooku
16. hezekiah
17. LLight

10-5-1-1

Roles: Commuter, Doctor, Lawyer, Town Drunk, Watcher, Townie x6, Godfather, Hooker, Janitor, Mafioso, Traitor, Survivor, Serial Killer

IMPORTANT NOTE: Though the Serial Killer shows up on their own in the ratio, they don't want the Mafia to win, so they are added to the Town ratio when determining if the Mafia win (so the Mafia need to tie the number of Town-sided players + Serial Killer in order to win). The Survivor doesn't count towards this ratio, and the Traitor is part of the Mafia's ratio.

OTHER IMPORTANT NOTE: The Survivor, who has a difficult win condition, gets a boost in the form of a Bulletproof Vest. This protects them from being Nightkilled, but it only works once. They get an extra two bonus points if they can make it to the end without expending the vest, and they get half of their victory points if they outlast more than half the Town but don't survive to the end.

FINAL IMPORTANT NOTE: I'm instituting the rule we talked about in the LLight thread effective immediately. Using the People tab or any other form of gauging people's activity expressly for gaining an advantage in the game (aside from, you know, their posts around the site) is forbidden, and evidence that you're using it in that way is grounds for a hostkill/other punishments.

24 hours or until all Night actions are in...

The Town awoke in the morning to find...nothing noteworthy had happened, at least as far as they could tell. It was Night 0--what did you expect?

Feel free to deliberate. 72 hours or 10 votes to end the round early.

July 26, 2013
white lancer

The thread is locked for me when I'm not logged in btw. Dunno if that's intentional or not.

As always, I want to murder someone.

July 26, 2013
The Bandit

That's because you have to be logged in to play...

July 26, 2013
Female Alpha Wolf

Jeez, there's more parties here than a voting convention...

Anyway, the usual Day 1 No Kill Pending Further Discussion for me.

...in other news, I'm going up north next week; I leave a week from tomorrow (Friday) and come back the following Wednesday. I can get Internet on my phone -- I have 3G and I can get Internet damned near anywhere with that thing -- but I won't be able to get on much through my laptop between Saturday and when I return on Wednesday (we're staying in a resort casino Friday night and they're bound to have wifi). I'll be on as much as I can, but don't expect any walls of text out of me for those few days.

July 26, 2013
Black Yoshi

The thread is locked for me when I'm not logged in btw. Dunno if that's intentional or not.

I ran into this problem as well. The thread can't even be accessed if you're not logged in.

Also, hi. {:D}

July 26, 2013
Apollo Justice

It has to do with the way the roles are assigned. Normally you should be able to read the main thread without logging in.

July 26, 2013
LLight

Well well, hello!

July 26, 2013
Castrael

Well we're back to square one. It'd be really nice if the mafia could slip up on day one.{:D}

July 26, 2013
Zanic

It'd be really nice if the mafia could slip up on day one.


Maybe we can leave a banana on the floor and hope they step on it...?

July 26, 2013
Jo Nathan

That's because you have to be logged in to play...

Everyone should be able to read the main threads, regardless of having an account or not. At least that's the way it's always been.

July 26, 2013
The Bandit

You can't even see the main thread when not logged in? That's...strange and obnoxious. You should be able to read the thread but not post in it.

July 26, 2013
white lancer

Maybe we can leave a banana on the floor and hope they step on it...?
this plan has appeal and I support it wholeheartedly c:

July 26, 2013
Pirate_Ninja

Maybe we can leave a banana on the floor and hope they step on it...?

*giggle* Or, we can take out the cheese can and spray?...

July 26, 2013
Castrael

Mmm. Spray cheese.

lancer are you willing to tell us what roles had Night Actions last night?

July 26, 2013
White Thunder

is this the part where I argue with yeano

YEANO IS THE KILL

July 26, 2013
MajorasMask9

Silly Majora, Yeano isn't here.

July 26, 2013
Castrael

Let's put a dollars under a box and trap 'em!

July 26, 2013
Female Alpha Wolf

Oh yeah, almost forgot. Lancer, I noticed the Townie x6 but I think that should be x5 instead?

July 26, 2013
Jo Nathan

Any non-killing role would have been able to act last night if they so chose, though some of them (the Doctor, for example) would have been pretty pointless.

And yeah, five Townies. I switched one of them at the last minute and forgot to change it in my notes.

July 26, 2013
white lancer

To clarify, my trip is from Friday the second to Wednesday the seventh of August, so I'm still here until then, just nothing to contribute since it's only the first day.

July 26, 2013
Black Yoshi

Ho-hum, Ho-hum,

Another Day One,

Where Nothing gets Done,

OH, sorry. Didn't see you guys there. You must have been in sneak mode, Oops wrong game.

Hello everyone{:P}

oh yeah Day 1

July 27, 2013
MajorasMask9

Back from out-of-town-ness and just in the nick of time, it seems! Good evening, my friends. {8D}

I shan't cast a vote for any option as of this moment, not even no kill, because I am keeping an open mind to any number of strategies and I would like to change my vote as few times as possible so that each decision is authoritative, imposing, and makes me seem cool.

Shall we begin?

July 27, 2013

I'm gonna have a hard time trusting Bubba this game in light of what happened last time {:P}

July 27, 2013
White Thunder

You mean in LLight of what happened last time, right.

July 27, 2013
LLight

Dammit LLight, you beat me to it...

You know, we haven't seen Hindenburg in quite a while. I wonder if he crashed and burned like the ship he's named after had too much going on IRL...

July 27, 2013
Black Yoshi

You know, we haven't seen Hindenburg in quite a while. I wonder if he crashed and burned like the ship he's named after had too much going on IRL...

I never mean to speak for anyone else but I feel like this is a situation where I can go ahead and do that.

Hindenburg said he was not interested in playing if we were not continuing our game 16 shenanigans. Unfortunately for him, I feel like actually contributing to the games now so he has moved on to other things.

However, he is still just as active across other planes of the internet. :)

I had no idea this game was going on. Really should have been mentioned on the top of the page.

July 27, 2013
Bubba

Didn't get a notification, Bubba....?

July 27, 2013
Castrael

Oh geez, the Llight puns again. It's too bad I don't have the power to host kill anymore...

July 27, 2013
White Thunder

Gee, it sounds like maybe someone needs to Llighten up.

July 27, 2013
Jo Nathan

We can still take care of this, White Thunder.

July 27, 2013
The Bandit

Puns again, eh? I think someone here needs a lesson... :P

July 27, 2013
Castrael

I'm sorry, but after White Thunder's post, the temptation was just too great to resist.

July 27, 2013
Jo Nathan

Haha, that's why I'm only joking. I'm on break mode. At work.

The typical no kill first day round.

July 27, 2013
Castrael

Don't worry about the puns.
They'll see the LLight soon enough.

July 28, 2013
Female Alpha Wolf

buncha LLightweights, I tell ya

July 28, 2013
Pirate_Ninja

I hate you all.

July 28, 2013
White Thunder

Guys, stop joking around. Apollogize for the silly puns so we can move on and seek some Justice.

I had no idea this game was going on. Really should have been mentioned on the top of the page.

It should have shown up as a notification under the Games tab with the sword.

July 28, 2013
Apollo Justice

These puns are getting FRUSTROating

July 28, 2013
MajorasMask9

Seriously guys I don't wanna have to throw my town teammates Thunder the bus

July 28, 2013
White Thunder

You guys keep playing. I'll be back after I Wolf all this delicious food down.

July 28, 2013
Female Alpha Wolf

I'm going to host kill you all.

July 28, 2013
white lancer

white lancer got tired of people making username puns

so he Bandit

July 28, 2013
Pirate_Ninja

Seriously guys, we need to stop this, surely Yoshi this is getting us nowhere...

July 28, 2013
Black Yoshi

He's got us all P_N'd for the host kill over all these puns and I would like to see some Apollo Justice served.

July 28, 2013
LLight

I'm half-expecting to find the thread locked and all of us dead sooner or later.... {fp}

July 28, 2013
Jo Nathan

Whoa you guys. I literally grinned :P too funny! Made my morning. But, seriously, I would hate for white lancer and Thunder to go all Jo Nathan on us.

July 28, 2013
Castrael

All these puns are FAW and away the worst thing to happen to mafia.

July 28, 2013
hezekiah

Good think we can Count on Dooku to not join in on such foolish shenanigans.

July 28, 2013
Apollo Justice

Alright guys that's enough this is getting Redackulous

July 28, 2013
White Thunder

Even Thunder can't handle his own Thunder. XD

Alright, alright! I'll stop. haha

July 28, 2013
Castrael

I hope all of Yeano how silly you sound.

July 28, 2013
MajorasMask9

{fp}

July 28, 2013
white lancer

Priceless :P

So many puns, so little time.

July 28, 2013
Castrael

Bicycle.

That's all I got.

July 28, 2013
Speed Bike Pro
 

Could you would you, on a Bicycle?

July 28, 2013
Castrael

Just realized there's only a few hours left in the round so just to be safe

July 28, 2013
White Thunder

Little less than seven hours left by my clock.

July 28, 2013
Black Yoshi

Alright. Never seen this in a game before and I won't take part in it haha.

I'll vote no kill seeing as these puns didn't teach us anything.

July 28, 2013
Zanic

I'm going to be away from the computer at the time the round's supposed to close tonight, so it'll close a couple hours later than normal.

July 28, 2013
white lancer

You hear that everyone? The round will be ending a few hours late. Nathan to be alarmed at.

July 28, 2013
MajorasMask9

Speaking of Nathan. Does that one vote he has lynch him?

I sure hope not, since this whole round has no info on anyone.

I forget how that works. Do No Votes or No kills offset votes for players.

July 28, 2013
chiefsonny
 

NM

Just found it.

If "No Kill" has the most votes or is tied for the most votes during a day round, no one will be killed


July 28, 2013
chiefsonny
 

Well I suppose

July 29, 2013
Female Alpha Wolf

No more puns from me tonight, although this has definitely been the best Day 1 ever.

July 29, 2013
Jo Nathan

Darn, end of Day 1 and I don't even have a chief suspect yet...
