Mini 126: Mini-Town Mafia Game over!

[Quailman]

What??? StD has seen me and confirmed my presence, albeit at intersections. I worked out at the gym. What do most people do. I played a game at the arcade. Soul Kalibur, if that's a real game. It sounds violent, and you'll probably cite that as eveidence against me.

[Mastermind of Sin]

once again you are skirting the issue with things that nobody can confirm or oppose with fact...what did you get from going to these places? I refuse to believe that there was absolutely nothing to be gained from going to the arcade or the gym...

[Save The Dragons]

I'm guessing stat points is what you get from those places, but I don't know.

Soul Calibur is a fighting game, and yes it is violent. But it's not bloody.

[mole]

Vote: Quailman

Not only do you not have a job, you don't appear to have any sort of role either. Any of us can wander the streets at night if we choose to do so...

[Mastermind of Sin]

can we get a vote count?

[Yggdrasil]

I believe Quailman has three votes.

I am reasonably convinced that Quailman is scum. First, one possibility that we all have not considered is the possibility of a naive investigative role. That could explain why STD found nothing suspicious about you. Second, when you said where you went at night, it looks as if you would have passed by intersection E (where Phoebus was murdered) on your way to the gym. Yet, you did not see Phoebus' body and call an ambulance like STD.

So, I'll go ahead and put the fourth vote:

vote: Quailman

[Mastermind of Sin]

it is possible that STD's stats on perption are higher than quailman's but I still think he is scum...

[EnPaceRequiescat]

If I'm not mistaken,

3 Quailman: Mastermind of Sin, mole, Yggdrasil
2 Mastermind of Sin: Quailman, Save The Dragons

7 alive, 4 to lynch!

[mole]

Recky is voting for Quailman as well.

[Recky]

I guess that makes it a lynch...

[Mastermind of Sin]

let's hope he is scum...otherwise, my thoughts turn to either SO or STD on the morrow

Mini-Town Chronicles

A Time for Rejoicing!

The day ended with an "expendable lynch." For it was the town's opinion that with their numbers, they were in a pretty good shape to afford a mistake anyway.
As the town surrounded Quailman, he frantically tried to clear himself with various claims.
"I'm the insomniac! I need to expend my energy, so I've been working out and playing video games! Didn't you say you saw me...?"
It didn't matter. The crowd promptly tied him up for lethal injection. At least Quailman died peacefully.
The tension wasn't over though, whilst the crowd moved towards towards Quailman's house. His house was clean and cozy. The dishes were done, the floor was clean, things were in their places. Almost afraid that they had ended the life of an innocent, one of the mob discovered Quailman's diary, which revealed the secrets of his life.
He was a lively youth, and still was, but he had found the company of several people... the mafia.
Did you get that? I said, "the mafia." More importantly, the contents of the diary also revelaed Flying Dutchman as a fellow Mafia member.
The town is safe.
Fireworks! Champagne! Celebrate!

Forensics Reveal Results

Belatedly, the forensics team finally confirmed Flying Dutchman's involvement in the murders of the first 2 nights. However, it was old news by then. They were reprimanded for their slow progress.

The town wins! Good job guys!

If you want the entire ppt (which contains the night movements, 'animated' if you scroll through the slides), which is about 800kb, please e-mail me, as I can't upload it onto geocities.

Thanks for playing!

Things I have to say:
1. Sorry for being late, school meant I only had weekends to do the night actions, which took about 3 hours
2. At first I didn't want to overpower the mafia, but it looked like I accidentally made the town too strong

Comments? Suggestions?

Again, Thanks!

[Mastermind of Sin]

w00t go me...pegged him from the moment i got here...

[Recky]

Very good game, EPR - much more involving than many mafia games because of the town-based aspect and the fact that we had the chance to do so much more rather than just say "kill x" or "protect y".

The town did perhaps seem a little overpowerred here, but I'm not really sure what else you could have done in a mini game. Perhaps some of the townsfolk shouldn't have been able to check people out, or things might have been different had I not been there as a backup cop, but I'm not going to start complaining since we came out victorious in the end .

Could you post all the roles?

[SinisterOverlord]

Hooray!

Thanks much for the game, EPR. Quite an interesting change from the norm...

With a game this different, it's inevitably going to be really hard to balance... doesn't mean it wasn't all good fun (though FD and Quailman may beg to differ, I dunno).

But yeh. Yay!

[Mastermind of Sin]

hehe, sorry, SO...if Quailman had been innocent, I would've used my night kill on you, probably...

[SinisterOverlord]

But that didn't have to happen, so it doesn't matter. Don't worry.

[Save The Dragons]

So was I naive or something?

[Mastermind of Sin]

no, it's just that his role mad ehim so neat you couldn't find anything wrong...probably the equiv to a godfather or something...

[Yggdrasil]

Very fun game EPR, though I would agree that the mafia needs to be strenghtened. I like how you didn't make it clear that FD was mafia unless the town picked up on some subtle clues in the kill descriptions. Perhaps if you run a similar game in the future, giving the town more misinformation would counter all the information that the town gets.

[EnPaceRequiescat]

thx for the tips and compliments.

Do you guys think a sk would have helped? Or would misinformation be enough. I was kinda debating whether I should've given mole occasional false rumors (very likely in real life), but I decided just to give away trivial information instead.
For strengthing the mafia, I'm thinking extra abilities. For weakening the town, I'm thinking less cops. But after seeing Vraak's Star Wars Mini with that many cops, I thought I'd give it a try.

And the 2 person limit in each place was to prevent mass mobbings (since people can 'see'.

I based the time that you left your house based on when you sent your PM in.

I'll probably post the roles tomorrow. I gotta go sleep.

[Mastermind of Sin]

it didn't help that spork didn't do anything and I forgot my abilities...I would've followed quailman last night...

[EnPaceRequiescat]

The roles

:
There may be some minor things that are different from what was sent (wording), but the abilities remain the same.

Adder: mason/investigate
You are the paperboy. You are very good friends with the news journalist, Phoebus, and may communicate with each other during the night. As the paperboy, each day during your paper route (it’s still beforethe day starts), you may choose to take a peek at any of the buildings (so no park, it’s not part of your paper route). If no one is present, you will get to see what’s inside the building. You get to go out at night in addition to your “investigation”

Dementia Blader: mafia
You are the godfather. Your minions? Otaku376 and Quailman. You will need to send me a meeting place, where you and your fellow mafia members will meet each night. For your night choice, please send the following information:
1. Who will kill (no movement routes will be necessary)
2. How the murder will take place (bazooka, knife, gun, etc.)
3. What the other mafia in your group choose to do with the night (including movement).
You guys may communicate during the night.

Electra: investigate, arrest/roleblock
You are the cop. Each night, you may get hold of either a search or arrest warrant. If you choose to search a house that night, please also include what you are searching for in the search warrant. If you choose to arrest someone, that person will be unable to vote and go out the following day and night, respectively.
Note: You will stop by the police station to get a warrant first

Jadesmar
You are often referred to as “The Old Lady”. For some reason unknown to you, everybody who sees you runs away… And you have decided to capitalize on that. Each night, you may visit an intersection or building, and everybody that you can see will turn back and take another route.

Mole: rumors
You are the bartender, and have developed a special knack for picking up on rumors. Every night, if you so choose to visit and maintain your tavern, you will be able to pick up a random rumor. If somebody from the town visits your tavern, you get an additional rumor about them as well. You do not count toward the max. occupancy of your tavern

Otaku376: mafia
You are part of the mafia, with your godfather Dementia Blader and good friend Quailman.
The godfather will send your night choices, which will consist of:
1. Who will kill
2. How the murder will take place (bazooka, knife, gun, etc.)
3. What the other mafia in your group choose to do with the night
You guys may communicate during the night.


Phoebus: mason/ investigate
You are the news journalist, and have made quite a close friendship with the paperboy, Adder, and may communicate with each other during the night. As a news journalist, you may also visit an area and take a picture of the scene. You may be specific, such as “inside building 14”. Your pictures will be in the newspaper.

Quailman: mafia
You are part of the mafia, with your godfather Dementia Blader and good friend Otaku376.
The godfather will send your night choices, which will consist of:
1. Who will kill
2. How the murder will take place (bazooka, knife, gun, etc.)
3. What the other mafia in your group choose to do with the night
You guys may communicate during the night.

Recky: protect or investigate
You are the brilliant college student, just back from graduate school. Mini-Town looked like a nice place to live, and that’s why you moved in. Due to your natural cognitive abilities, you aspire to be a doctor or as a detective, but unfortunately those occuaptions are held by other people. When one of those people die, you will be informed of the opportunity to assume their role. Until then, happy visiting the town!

Sinister Overlord: protect/rumor
You are the fellow priest of Mini-Town. Each night, if you so choose visit the church, you may accept confessions. Anyone who visits the church will confess something about themselves to you, and gain protection from being lynched the next day. Remember, you count towards the maximum occupancy of your church, and both visitor and you will stay overnight at the church.

Spork76 / Mastermind of Sin: vig
Tired and worn out from the rigors and wars during your lifetime, you came to Mini-Town for refuge. So far it has been good to you, even though you do not have a home. Never the less, you are ready to use your experience in the army in service of the town. Each night, you have the ability to follow a person of your choice, or once in the game, you may choose to kill a target of your choice.

Yggdrasil: protect
You are the doctor. If you choose to protect a person one night, you will follow them throughout the entire night. If that person gets injured, you will send him/her to the hospital, where they will spend the next day (which means no night choice for them the following day).

[Mastermind of Sin]

i don't remember saying this before, but that was a great game, EPR...if you choose to run a sequel, I'm in if I can...
