Zachtown in the mountains (Game over TOWN WINS!)

[Zachrulez]

Zachtown in the mountains.

The previous two attempts at creating a peaceful zachtown have failed and the benevolent god Zachrulez thinks about how to handle the scum that spawn in his attempted creations of paradise. The solution hits him as he is deep in thought. The answer is not power roles, it's not multiple scum to keep each other in check. No, my towns don't need any of that to handle the byproducts of my power of creation. I must grant upon thee the power to lynch TWICE in a single day. He snapped his fingers onto a tablet of knowledge, and this message was passed down to his new creation in his new town creation in the mountains. Of course like any other creation, the evil creature from below has sent some scum to tag along and follow the townies to the new town in order to take it over. Zachrulez can only stroke his chin and hope that his idea is enough to stop those that would want to ruin his paradise and mold his new town in their own image.

This is going to be a mountainous mafia game with an open setup. The game is designed for 16 players, of which 13 will be town and 3 will be scum. As the flavor text indicates, unlike normal mountainous games, this game will be run under double day, allowing the town to lynch twice in a day phase if it pleases them.

Couple of notes: IC status is required for this game. If you're not well known, or it's likely that I don't know you very well, I will need a record of 5 completed games to accept your sign up for this game.

Game will have a 3 week deadline for the first day phase, and 2 week deadlines for the day phases thereafter. (I will extend and shorten deadlines during the game as the situation dictates.

General Rules

1. Do not talk about the game outside of it unless your role allows you to.

2. Do not edit or delete your posts in anyway. (This shouldn't be a problem for the most part, but if you have the ability to, don't do it.)

3. Do not quote your PMs at any time. (Includes role pms and pms from me.) Paraphrasing is ok.

4. If you have any questions, ask me by PM. I will make an in game announcement if the answer applies to more than just you.

5. Do not use any font size other than normal please. I will warn violators, and will modkill repeat offenders. Don't try to hide text or make it difficult to read either.

6. Once you're dead, stop typing. (I will allow one contentless "bah" post as an exception.)

7. Please treat the other players in the game with respect. I do not want to have to intervene if the game starts to get personal, but I will if I have to.

8. Do not talk about ongoing games please.

9.

This is my color, don't use it.

10. I reserve the right to add, remove and change rules as I see fit to improve the quality of the game. I will also clarify the rules as needed.

11. Modkills will end the day.

Gameplay Rules

1. Each day the town decides on a lynch. You will require one half of the living players plus one in order to achieve a lynching majority. I will go out of my way to make sure you are aware of this number.

2. To vote please do so in this format

Vote: Lien

(Or by using the vote tag.) Please bold your vote and try to put it at the bottom of your post. (Not required but appreciated.) Failure to vote in the bold format may result in the vote not being counted. (At my discretion I will determine vote intent.) *Please place your vote on it's own line, (Or at least at the beginning or end of one.) if you fail to do this your vote may not be counted.

Unvoting is appreciated, but not required. Please post it in bold if you do it.

3. No lynch is also allowed, under the same format.

Vote: No Lynch

(Or under vote tag.) A majority vote for no lynch will send the game into night without a lynch.

4. Deadline will be 3 weeks for day 1,

and 2 weeks thereafter

. (I will modify the deadline as necessary appropriate to the current game state.)

5. Players may request a prod after a player has gone longer than 72 hours since their last post. There is no requirement for acknowledging any prod you receive in thread, but you must pick it up within 48 hours to avoid replacement. Also keep in mind that once your activity warrants a prod via the 72 hour rule, I will add it to an inactivity timer. Once your inactivity timer reaches 2 weeks worth of time, players may request that you be replaced.

6. If you are unable to meet the minimum posting requirements for any reason, please let us know in thread. Don't leave us hanging.

7. Once a majority is reached, that player is lynched and can not be saved with unvotes. All players including the lynched player are free to continue posting until I get around to locking the thread.

8. Most importantly, have fun!

Theme Specific Rules

1. Game days will be run under a double day mechanic. What this means is that the town will be able to lynch twice in one day phase.

2. After the first lynch is achieved, the lynched player will flip immediately. (Immediately as in once I get to the game thread after the hammer.) After that happens, the day will continue with the vote count reset.

3. The deadlines stated in in the gameplay section apply to both phases of the day. You need to come to a decision on both lynches within the one game day. (Day 1 phase 1 and phase 2 are both day 1.)

4. You are not required to use both lynches or even lynch at all. You can end each phase of the day at your leisure by agreeing to no lynch. (If you are in the first phase of the day, vote like this.

Vote: End day

)

I will make modifications and additions to the rules as necessary.

Role pms:

13 of you will receive this role pm.

You are a

vanilla townie.

You possess no powers other than your brain and your vote, use them wisely. You win when you eliminate all threats to the town.

Please confirm by sending me a pm stating your role.

3 of you will receive this role pm.

You are a

mafia goon

. Your partners are _______ and _______. You have no special powers other than the night kill, which you share with your scumteam. You win when there is at least one mafia member alive and all the other players are dead or when nothing can prevent this from happening. You may communicate with your team here ________

Please confirm by sending me a pm stating your role

(Keep in mind that I may establish rules pertaining to the scum's ability to night talk privately with the scum team. The town will not be informed as to these requirements.)

[Zachrulez]

Role pms will be going out shortly.

[Zachrulez]

Role pms are out. Game will remain in pre-game for the next 48 hours. (At which point I will start looking for replacements for everyone who hasn't confirmed.)

You may post here freely in the interim, but note that votes will not be counted until the first phase of day 1 begins.

[Benmage]

Man, I was really hoping to be scum this game

[Mina]

Really.

I remember you saying in the

A Clash of Kings

Mafia graveyard topic that you prefer being town to scum.

Why is this game different?

[Sotty7]

^Link?

Also, hi.

[Mina]

Ah, never mind. I was thinking of post #561. Checking back, Benmage doesn't say anything about his favourite role, just the team he roots for. I could have sworn he'd implied he preferred

being

town because he just coasted all the time as scum.

And hi to all the people I've never played with before.

[Benmage]

I'd say I prefer scum. This way I can basically only blame myself for a lose.

However I wanted to be scum this game so I wouldn't have to give it as much attention since I'm spreading myself thin(And mountainous setups require alot of work). Also the last mountainous one I was in I was town. Tho the double day lynch is different.

[Benmage]

I'd say I prefer scum.

I'd say I like being the manipulator more than the investigator, but to each their own. Also I'm town more than scum...so I like the latter.

That said...D1 should only have 1 lynch. Not 100% on the mechanics of this double lynch, but I guess we can no lynch for one of the lynches and than perform a standard lynch.

I'm thinking we no lynch off the bat..and than progress the day as if it were normal.

[I Am Innocent]

Hello all. Looking forward to playing with some experienced players....the newbies in my most recent game are the worst crop yet!

[Percy]

Hello all!

[Dry-fit]

I'm thinking we no lynch off the bat..and than progress the day as if it were normal.

Wouldn't it make more sense to lynch the first day and then see what we decide from there?

[Benmage]

OHHHHHH right we see the flip instantaneously.

F what I said. We'll utilize both lynches.

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

I know 3 people in this cast. I feel a newb all over again.

I would random vote, but since they don't count yet...

[RedCoyote]

Man, I was really hoping to be scum this game

Ditto. This is going to be a long game.

It should be fun though.

[Percy]

ITT: Scum explain how happy they are that they're not scum.

[jasonT1981]

Hi everyone, some faces I know. good to see you all

[Benmage]

ITT: Scum explain how happy they are that they're not scum.

How much you willing to stake? (For my self, no nothing of the copycat)

[Benmage]

I think I was in a game with you....where you either flaked...got replaced...or active lurked...i'm blanking and don't want to lookup my own history...you remember anything by chance?

[RedCoyote]

Shoot.

Well, no use playing dumb, Ben. We're no match for Percy's acute intuition.

Nope, sorry.

[mongoose]

[Oso]

Let's see.

To the rest, nice to meet you all.
