vegas 1 night 1 the town goes to vegas

Posted May 20, 2014 by Xhin

The Story So far

Previously on HOUSE OF MAFIA: [p:68945]

I had been a year since that faithful day that Black Yoshi killed the last mafia on the top of the Clock Tower of Frustroville. The town had grown and prospered.

...And gotten boring.

Fortunately, an old ex-mayor by the name of Count Dooku came back in a limousine with loads of cash he had taken from the town's coffers during his stay.

"Hey man, I heard you died suffocating in your own wealth!" Said Black Yoshi.

"Nah, that was just another clone. They're pretty dispensable," Said Count Dooku as he shot his driver-clone in the head.

"So, I'm off to Vegas, any of you cats want to join me as we gamble off my ill-conceived wealth?"

The town agreed. It was just what they had been looking for. Things were just never the same after Dragon in the Shadow's rotting ass had disintegrated.

So years later, they had met some new friends, some of which curiously had the same name as departed mafia of their old town. They had worked their way into the Vegas underground, and had also acquired a number of bad habits along the way. Some had joined the mafia group that secretly ran Vegas, others were just corrupt and/or down on their luck.

But then one day a Cowboy convinced them to think different. Convinced them to root out the mafia and make Vegas like their old town. The mafia of course weren't happy about this.

The night after the Cowboy's big speech, the gears started turning:

  • The Dirty Cop began his investigations.
  • A Newcomer got initiated into the Mafia.
  • Three more people got addicted to drugs.
  • And two people got mysterious invitations to a cordial date with one another.

    As the day dawned, the people of Frustroville waited to see what would happen next...

    Some things you may find useful

  • Every day round, a "Dinner Date" is chosen between two players. Town-sided players get a gun that they can choose to use to shoot the other player. Mafia don't get one.

  • If you want to do a No Kill or a Not Voting, please use the second box. I know it's confusing but it will have to work until after I can get NIFE configured to support extra options in the drop-downs (will probably happen sometime this game actually)

  • Your inventory/roles/etc are up at the top of the forum. If one of them grants you access to a thread you can click it and go to the thread.

    Some glitches I've fixed

  • rolling works again
  • The User CP > Notifications has a filter for the new mafia game. Granted, OOG isn't allowed, but still.
  • There's a bug with any interaction that excludes certain groups of people (first noticed by a drug dealer). This looks like it will be complicated to fix, so I will do so tomorrow.

    Game Info

    Please ask questions below if you haven't asked them elsewhere already.

    - OOG is Not allowed during this game. If you've already started one, well, no harm done really. Just make sure not to continue.
    - Night talk is OFF.
    - Day rounds are 48 hours or until 50% of the votes are for the same person (rounded up).
    - Night rounds are 24 hours long or until all of the Night actions are in.

    - Rounds "end" at 10pm EDT. When the next round starts is variable and depends on how long it takes to update everything (should be an hour or two).

    I must say, Xhin, this new system is looking very nice -- now let's hope no one NIFEs you in the back...

    Ahem...that said, does the dinner date happen in its own thread?

    Erm, scratch that last bit -- just saw the thread in question.

    I can't help but notice the lack of a vote option...

    Hello my fellow players{:D}

    Man what a great time to be in Vegas. {y}


    WSOP starts on May 27th at the RIO

    So I'm heading down to Fremont St. to Binion's to hone my skills.

    And by the way Binion's has their Poker Classic starting May 22nd.

    I brought my Lap top so I can stay in touch.

    Hello :)

    Anything interesting happened lately? No? Okay.

    Whoops. Fixed!

    Well this is different. I kinda like it.

    May 20, 2014
    Jo Nathan

    Glad to see the system is up and running, but yeah, is there any point to this day around if we can't even vote for anyone?

    May 20, 2014
    Lightvayne

    Shouldn't one cancel out the other?(hehe)

    hmm...hadn't reloaded the page in a while and Xhin fixed it since then...whoops :P

    May 20, 2014
    Lightvayne

    Shouldn't one cancel out the other?

    Yes, no kills or not voting count above kills, unless your last action was a vote by itself. It's confusing and definitely need to be changed.

    May 20, 2014
    Xhin
    Sky's the limit

    Well the dual-vote thing might cause confusion but it doesn't necessarily need to be reprogrammed right now. For the sake of clarity, maybe we can assume that selecting "No Kill" or "Not Voting" will nullify the other vote.

    Unless somebody has something to share, I think we know how this day is going to go.

    `Roxas`

    Well, just letting everyone know that I work tonight, so no host kills please. >.<

    I feel like there hasn't been anything to add, so I think it's safe for a typical no kill on the first day.

    May 20, 2014

    dang these vote boxes are nice.

    Anyway, that'll be the usual with a side of no lynch, please.

    Sorry, let's make it official, since that last post was me logged out. Definitely something that needs to be fixed. I shouldn't have even been able to post that, leave alone make a vote.

    Just checking in--I've been busy over the last couple of days (and will probably be busy until Thursday), but I'll be sure to sit down and figure out this crazy system ASAP!

    New features seem to be working fairly well. Please report any bugs you find, either here or through the special form [c:bug] (if that link still works, at least...)

    Just posting to say I'm here.

    Will go for not voting because I suspect 50% no kill ends the round and I like to let early rounds run on to full time.

    May 20, 2014
    Moonray

    I'm posting here to remind you that dead and non-player accounts should not be able to post or vote.

    In the meantime, if you're going to vote for someone this round might as well do it the way we used to do it in the early mafia games by saying which people you're voting for in your post rather than using the drop down below. Spruce it up by adding colour.

    LLight voted for Black Yoshi

    The link for bug reports can be found here http://gtx0.com/info/bugreport.php

    Also Xhin is highly suspicious. Everyone vote for him.

    I find it very suspicious that LLight is voting for Xhin out of the blue.

    Lady Flare voted for LLight

    Vegas is confusing. I'd vote for no-kill, but I'm not even sure how...

    Hey, you put that vote back in there.

    I'm sorry guys, just pretend I don't exist, which hopefully some of you already are doing. Maybe I'll figure out how to move these without buttons later.

    LLight

    Interesting!

    I COULDN'T MOVE THEM NOBODY LOOK I'M NEKKID.

    Can I vote to kill LLight? He is flooding the thread and he isn't a player!

    Yes, actually. You can.

    Wait, LLight is playing?

    o.O What are you doing in here?

    Ohhh, haha I just saw Feral's reply :P

    this post is still open to the general public, I'll just vote randomly to stir up Vegas GAMBLING attention.

    eyes closed here EYE go

    weid man

    Really Xhin, you should figure out a way to not allow non players in.

    It'll confuse the voting system.

    (hehe)

    May 21, 2014
    Castrael

    I am SORRY Feral. Why did my roulette vote go to YOU of all peoples? I feel as if I am a benedict weid.

    I kindly refrain from posting any further, as it would derail this thread/topic's important game matters.

    May 21, 2014
    weid man

    Gold on, I was gonna edit my post and say ONE LAST retort, but the rules of this Mafia game won't let me.

    I put my Mafia's vote into the jackPOT, smoke weed, and out comes Feral doggy from his house hole.

    There, I am done for now. My humor jokes might be offensive, and I take blame if they are. I only try and be a positive funny court jester

    May 21, 2014
    weid man

    Hopefully this thread gets cleaned up later.

    And because of LLight randomly doing actions, I'm going to assume the ??? role is responsible for choosing dinner dates, since none of the known roles would fit that. Would account for why he was able to make an action like LLight Chose Xhin for a dinner date and makes a lot more sense than the dinner dates being chosen randomly.

    Don't really have any suspicions now I guess. I'm a bit confused about the dirty cop: what exactly do they do? The description said they just give out badges, but do the badges do anything?

    May 21, 2014
    MajorasMask9

    well, the first post does say that the date is chosen and doesn't call it random, so that makes sense. Wonder if there might be something else to the position as well.

    Dirty Cop sounds to me like a town-sided role you could claim and then "prove" by giving someone a badge (as well as a way for Xhin to test NIFE's item-handling abilities).

    also, am I missing something or is there no longer a public vote tally?

    May 21, 2014
    Pirate_Ninja

    This is the reason non-players should be locked out of any access to the game until it's over.
    Some people will go out of their way to fuck things up even if it's a free lunch.

    also, am I missing something or is there no longer a public vote tally?


    No you're not. Vote tallies are missing.

    this post is still open to the general public


    And so you decided you just had to post some stupid shit{fp}

    And I assume random voting is still a work in progress in the new system...?

    To be fair, how often do we use the random vote feature to choose our actual lynch target?
