Newbie 1515: Old-Timey Mafia [GAME OVER]

Post Post #0 (ISO) » Fri Jun 27, 2014 4:03 am

Post by Maestro »

An old man in a plaid jacket walks into the room and braces himself into a chair.
He looks around the flat for a moment, then leans into you and speaks in a raspy whisper:


"There's a Mafia. Ya gotta kill 'em before they kill you.
Sh*t sucks but life's hard...get used to it around here.
"


He spits into a vase next to him on the floor.


*THIUNG*


"Have fun though, ya sicko."

$

*
- indicates a player prodded for inactivity; a player who has two or more prods is more likely to be replaced
Maestro
- indicates a player who has been replaced; a player replacement resets all inactivity prods


A Note About SE's and IC's (by Glork)The purpose of the SE (Semi-Experienced) and IC (Inexperience-Challenged) players in this game is to help Newbies understand how the game is played on mafiascum.net. If you have any questions about abbreviations, etiquette, mafia theory, etc., do not hesitate to ask your IC. Newbie games are meant to be educational. That said, remember the following things:
  • Because roles were assigned randomly, do not assume that your IC or SE players are town. They will provide you good theory-based information regardless of their alignment, but they are no more likely to be town than any other player in the game.

  • There are no stupid questions! If you are unclear about any mafia-related questions ask your IC in thread. The answer to your questions will likely be helpful to everyone in the game.

  • The tells and advice listed in the wiki, though useful, will only get you so far. Your IC and SE should be vastly more helpful than the wiki, as they will always be up-to-date.

RULES
All Site-wide Game Rules are in effect.

*
This is my color. Don't use my color.

* You are expected to be an active participant in this game. Players who have not posted for 2 days [48 hours] will be prodded for inactivity.
* After a prod is sent, players have 2 days [48 hours] to respond
IN-THREAD
in some way, or I will start searching for a replacement.
* If, at any time, a player has received 3 prods for inactivity, I may or may not issue another prod. I will start searching for a replacement.

* If you would like to request replacement or declare V/LA at any time, please PM me.
* If you have a personal problem with another player's activity/posting, please PM me.

* Days will be 2 weeks [14 days] in length. Deadline exceptions will only be made in extremely rare circumstances.
* Nights will be 2 days [48 hours] in length. Night deadline exceptions will only be made to accomodate Nighttime replacements.

* Votes will only be counted if they are in a format such as
Vote: Maestro
or VOTE: Maestro and must be on a separate line of text and outside of any spoiler tag. (I will not be held accountable for having missed your vote if this rule is not adhered to.)

* You MAY vote for the option to "No Lynch".
* If "No Lynch" has the most votes at deadline or receives a majority at any point, there will be "No Lynch".
* This is the only way to achieve a "No Lynch" - regular lynching is achieved through plurality. (The first one with the most votes at deadline is lynched.)

* Upon being Lynched or dying overnight, players may make one "Bah!"-type post after they are officially dead. This post may not contain game-related information or any knowledge they may have of the game's setup or the other players. This rule will be enforced by a Modkill or other action that would harm the offending player's faction.

* I MAY OR MAY not make Dead QTs unless requested. If you want a Dead QT because you're dead, just PM me!

AND FINALLY:


I am aware that I make mistakes. Please PM me about any I may make or address me in bold in-thread.
Do not hash out issues with me in-thread unless the entire playerlist would benefit.

SETUP
Matrix6 (as designed by Cogito Ergo Sum):

ABC
1Town JailkeeperVanilla TownieMafia Goon
2Mafia RoleblockerTown CopTown Doctor
3Town 1-shot
Bulletproof
Mafia GoonTown Tracker

This game has been given a setup that incorporates either one row or one column. The remaining six roles have be filled in by Mafia Goons and Vanilla Townies appropriately, to create a 2-Mafia and 7-Town setup. For example Row 1 (1 Jailkeeper, 1 Vanilla Townie, 1 Mafia Goon) would add an additional 5 Vanilla Townies and 1 Mafia Goon, for a total setup of 1 Jailkeeper, 6 Vanilla Townies, and 2 Mafia Goons.


*Roleblocker will take precedence over jailkeeper when resolving night actions should that apply.

Hello!

I will be inactive until Monday with guests in town. However, I'd like for everyone to answer two questions:
1) What experience do you have playing Mafia?
2) Do you like playing as Mafia or as Town better? Why?

I look forward to a fun little game of murder with you!

1) I've played some games on this site, and I play often in person with a big group of people.
2) I like playing scum more than town. I like trying to deceive people.

I look forward for your return so you can explain why you would start the game with something useless like asking questions and why you chose that since you don't normally start games when you are the IC like that.


Hopefully activity picks up across the board on Monday, it's kind of abysmal right now

Hiya peeps.
1. I've played a lot of mafia in forums. I haven't played anywhere in a year though.
2. I don't have a preference when it comes to alignment. I have fun as both in different ways.

VOTE: BoroPhil
Whats up with the self depreciation?
It's putting a bad taste in my mouth with players excusing scummy behavior as just "Bad townie"..

And what does 682 mean Boonskiies?
