Mini #864 - TV Networks Mafia(Over!)

Post Post #0 (ISO) » Wed Oct 07, 2009 3:53 pm

Post by hasdgfas »

Since the dawn of cable television, networks have argued and fought to decide which has the best show lineup. Because channel CEOs are obviously biased, they turned to television “experts” and critics to try to decide which was best. Now, however, we have computer technology, and much more exciting ways to determine the best channel.

That is why we are here today. A cutting-edge computer software company has created a wonderful program to help us decide which Network has the best lineup. 15 channel CEOs are placed in control of avatars of one of their shows, which are placed into a game world to complete a grand quest to the land of Rayteen Glied Ur. Their questing is televised, and the competitors can all see how the others are doing.

While this may seem straightforward, some CEOs have turned to…..questionable means of winning, including “removal” of 3 of the CEOs. Now, the remaining 12 will be discussing who the problem is and how to deal with them, all the while continuing their quest.

Basic Rules:
Behavior:

1) This is a game. Please try to act in a respectful manner towards everyone.
2) Play to win, but also to have fun. See rule 1.
3) I will post in either green or dark green. I may use italics, bold, underlined, or anything else in green. Just stay away from green text. I know what I’ve written.
4) Please try to keep your profanity to a minimum. I understand that there are times where it's necessary, but in mafia, there aren't many, so rein it in a bit. I will forcibly replace you if I feel your behavior is threatening too many people's fun.
5) Do not quote any private communications with me or other players. Failure to adhere to this rule will result in modkill. If you have a question about whether something is acceptable, PM me.
6) You may not talk about this game outside the thread unless your role allows, whether you’re dead or not. Feel free to talk to me though, especially if you‘re dead. I’m available for listening to rants, getting told how bad the setup and/or flavor is, or listening to what people think about the game in general.
7) Do not edit or delete your posts. There are reasons for this, which I will explain if necessary. If I catch you, you will be modkilled.

Activity Levels and Prods:

8) I expect everyone to post every 72-96 hours. Failure to do so will result in an official prod, unless you have informed me of V/LA status either in thread or via PM. The more I prod you, the more I'll dislike you. The more I dislike you, the more likely I'll just replace you instead of prodding you.
9) Players may request an unofficial prod on another player at any time, either by PM or by posting in thread. This should only be done if it's been a while since someone has posted, and someone expects them to answer a question.
10) Not picking up an official prod within 48 hours will result in replacement.

Voting, Lynches, and Deadlines:

11) Please vote in bold, such as
vote: Cow
. You do not have to unvote when changing votes, although it might be helpful. You may use nicknames and acronyms when voting, as long as it is clear exactly whom you are referring to.
12) A lynch will require the votes of a majority of players. When a majority is reached, no further votes/unvotes will be counted.
13) Days will last for a maximum of 3 weeks. If you do not have a majority when deadline arrives, there will be no lynch
14) Posting in twilight is acceptable, for both the lynchee and town members. Feel free to post as much or as little as you want of whatever you like.(Really blatant and unhealthy amounts of spam will probably be deleted, however.)
15) Once your death scene is posted, you may make only one ‘Bah’ post. Make sure it has no game relevant information, or someone on your team will be punished for your screw-up.
15.5) All night and day deadlines are at 11 PM EST

Miscellaneous:

16) If you fake breaking a rule, it will incur the same punishment as actually breaking the rule.
17) If you believe I have made a small mistake, for example, in a vote count, please point it out in thread. If you have a more serious grievance for some reason, PM me. Leave it out of the thread.
18) My word is final. If you have a problem with it, see rule 17.
19) I reserve the right to add rules if necessary.


Game-Specific Rules:


Time Slots:
Each channel is allotted a certain number of words per post. Quoted Text is not included in this count. This will stay the same even if your show changes. Choices: Small(100), Medium(300), Large(750), X-Large(1250). There is also a Tiny(25) slot, useable only for FCC Enforcement purposes.

No Reruns:
You may not double post, unless it has been 12 hours since your last post. If you do, it will be deleted and necessary FCC Enforcement will occur. However, if you accidentally double post due to forum freakout, I will simply delete it, and nothing bad will happen.

Long Recaps are Boring:
you may only use one set of [quote] tags, although you may have quotes inside those quotes. However, please follow the spirit of the rule, by not combining multiple things into the same tag. Words inside the [quote] tags are not counted against your total.

FCC Enforcement:
If these are not followed, the first time will result in a warning, the second will result in a time slot one smaller than your current one, and the third will result in full show cancellation(modkill)

Multiple shows:
Due to the fact that a channel is not just made up of one show, each of you have the opportunity to change your show with your “switch task”. If you complete this task, your show will change. This could make your role better, or worse. You will not find out until you switch.

Town Win Condition:
The win condition in every town role PM is some variation of "you win when all anti-town players have been killed"

If you have any questions on any rules, please ask me instead of being confused

As the players gathered for the day of questing, they were understandably nervous, as they knew at this point that something was wrong and they had to start getting rid of those who meant harm. However, they had to keep up a show of normalcy for the viewing audience. The game begins...

"Hello game players. Do you see Mount Bigpeak here in front of you? An integral item for your quest is on top of it. You have to get up there in any way you can. As I am a disembodied voice, I will just meet up with you when you get there. Good luck."





With 11 of 12 confirmed, Day 1 starts.
With 12 alive, it takes 7 to lynch. Deadline is October 29th.
Anyone who can talk to others may do so until Saturday at 11 PM EST

I don't like the RVS.

I'm a miller. I've been told it's appropriate to claim as such D1 (Cite: Cowboy Bebop mafia). This is as much as I will claim until such time as I would normally claim (L-2).

My breadcrumb (for I do LOVE breadcrumbing) is 7433.

I'm going to pretty much treat Gorrad's claim as a nulltell as I've seen both scum and town claim as millers D1.

anyways

and so, SensFan decided that he should throwdown with xRECKONERx, not knowing what Reckoner's specialty was. After a short time, it was decided that Music Videos on YouTube should be the category. The competitors made their choices, and hoped for the best reaction from the crowd, knowing that more was at stake than just bragging rights.


1) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYtk1Z0UUuE&feature=fvst

2) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRbLvI_OhyA

Now is where you come in. Choose your favorite Music Video of the two, and PM me with your choice. You can choose between the two based on any criteria you want. When everyone has submitted their choice, I will reveal the results, and the person who chose the losing video will be lynched, ending the Day.

Oh, and when I get your PM, I'll also give you a bonus music video that I like.

Deadline for voting is Saturday Night at 11:59 PM Eastern

On the way up Mount Bigpeak, SensFan decided that he was bored, and decided to fight xRECKONERx. However, he didn't really do too well. He was able to scratch reckoner, but then he got dismembered, strangled, <insert painful death action here>.
After this strange happening, the GMs decided that they didn't want this to happen again, so they stopped the game for the day.

As the channel CEOs shuffled back towards the TV studio for another day of questing, they saw this sobering story in the newspaper that morning:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Food Network CEO Makes Rash Decision, Pays With Life


The CEO of the popular Food Network TV channel, Sensfan, was tragically killed yesterday after facing fellow CEO, xRECKONERx, in a throwdown to the death. It was only 4 posts into Day 1 yesterday when Sensfan made his decision to challenge. The deadly competition was decided by Music Videos on Youtube – a quite unusual category. Many other CEOs were puzzled by Sensfan's choice to make such an important decision so quickly, but still offered their condolences. The funeral will be held later this week in his hometown of Ottawa, Canada.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When everyone had filtered in for the day, those in charge realized that two people were missing. After a couple hours of frantic phone calls to channel offices, they found out that the two channels whose CEOs hadn’t checked in recently were
ESPN and Travel Channel.

After their call to ESPN, it appears that SensFan’s opponent yesterday couldn’t catch a break at night and had died.
xRECKONERx
was found in his home, all the clothes he was wearing stained purple. Apparently, purple had become a deadly color overnight, at least for him. In his house, the investigators found many computers calculating poll results, and with twitter feeds and telephones. He was apparently
SportsNation
, and with all the info he had to deal with at night, he didn’t have time for anything else.

In addition to ESPN’s death, Travel Channel’s CEO hadn’t checked in that morning. At first, his employers just thought he ate too much, and was too stuffed to call on time, but after investigation, they found
MrSuave
in his house. Well, they were pretty sure it was him. It’s hard to tell when every trace of the person had been erased except for a dark outline. He had a lot of information in his house about places where he could eat a lot of food. It’s clear that he had been
Man vs. Food
. In addition to all that information, he had one phone number scribbled on a post-it note right with his phone. The label on the Post-I was “Eating Contest Buddy”. The investigators called it, and found a friend who he had eating contests with nearly every night.

Once they figured out who died and how, they realized it was probably not safe to continue the game, but the massive amount of ratings they got, especially after the death of SensFan yesterday, made them decide that ratings were far more important than life, so they kept going.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back in the game, the players received an announcement.
“Attention game players. Since nobody had time to get to the top of Mount Bigpeak yesterday, you have to climb it again. Unfortunately, you can’t go back to where you ended yesterday. Start again. Sorry.
