Thirteen strangers have arrived as guests on the S.S. Vendetta, a luxury cruise liner set to sail the world in 60 days. They hail from all different walks of life, with different stories and different reasons for their pleasure seeking. But some are harboring a secret: their own murderous intent. As scum hide among the witless tourists, we must wait for unpredictable events to unfold. One thing we know for sure: It won’t be the getaway that everyone was hoping for…

Everyone get your towels ready and hit the deck; it’s about to go down.

My 10 Rule Things:

[01]

ANYTHING HERE http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=6470 WILL BE STRICTLY ENFORCED.

No bringing outside influences (“trust tells”, alliances, etc.) into the game. No talking about the game elsewhere or talking about ongoing games in this thread. No quoting your Role PM. NO EXCEPTIONS!

[02]

THIS SHADE OF GREEN IS MINE.

Seriously, there’s the entire rainbow if you’re feeling a flamboyant post. No impersonating the mod! (I have no idea why you’d want to, anyway…)

[03]

I AM MOD. I AM NOT GOD.

This is my first try at modding, and I could use your help! If you notice mistakes of any kind, post in the thread something bolded like “

@Pitoli: blah blah blah

”. Please use your best judgment in whether or not what you want to tell me should be public knowledge before telling me in-thread. You can also PM me to be safe.

[04]

DON’T BE A JERK.

It should be a surprise to no one that forum mafia gets really unpleasant sometimes, however - that’s no excuse to be disrespectful towards other players. Excessive cursing or derogatory attacks targeting another player that bear no relevance to the game are grounds for a modkill.

[05]

BE ACTIVE.

Prods will be sent after 48 hours of thread inactivity. Players must respond within 24 hours of a prod before replacement. If you require a 3rd prod, I will begin searching for a replacement immediately.

[06]

Day 1 will be 3 WEEKS LONG, after that Day phases are 2 WEEKS LONG. Night phases are 48 HOURS LONG

. All actions not submitted by deadline will be left unused. I will extend the deadline at my own discretion depending on either severe inactivity or excessive replacements.

[07]

A single “BAH” post

is allowed from dead players. After that please stay dead.

[08]

RULES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE.

Just because I haven’t covered something thoroughly here, does not give you the right to exploit it – use your common sense. Please let me know of any changes I should make.

[09]

PLAY TO WIN.

[10]

HAVE FUN.

Hate to sound like your mom, but this is the most important rule!

This game follows the

Mini Normal

standard for games, meaning it’s an original 13p closed setup with only normal roles. That means no cults, jesters, or lynchers! YAY! I will not deliberately lie to you about anything in game, though I cannot promise you complete information, either.

There is guaranteed to be at least one Vanilla Townie role, and as a sample, Role PMs will look something like this:

Hello,
______
! And welcome aboard the S.S. Vendetta.

You are a
Town Vanilla
. This cruise turned out to be way more exciting than you’d hoped. You don’t have any outstanding skills in particular, but will do what you can to survive.

During the Day, you have your voice and vote to try to lynch threats to town. You win when all threats to town are eliminated.

Posted: **Wed Sep 25, 2013 3:43 pm**

Whew! All Role PMs have finally been randomized and sent out!

Please confirm promptly by PM. I will open the thread when I receive 11 out of 13 player confirmations.

Confirmations received: 11/13

11 confirmations have been received. Game thread will be unlocking shortly!!

Plum is V/LA until Saturday, 9/28.

All through the first night of the

Vendetta

’s voyage, the seas are peaceful. The wind, however, is unusually chilly for September, and only promises to grow colder during the rest of the trip. The cold drove all the passengers indoors early in the evening; even the nightwatchman, assigned to patrol the decks, retreats to the bar for a drink and several quiet hours to himself.

A calm, wide sea. Too kind, too gentle.

Suddenly a shriek is heard from somewhere on the ship, startling its inhabitants awake. One by one the groggy guests open their doors into the corridors, beginning to gather and ask what is going on. As the shouts continue, the quizzical glances turn alarmed. The group clambers up to the deck to investigate the disturbance, trying to locate the source of the commotion.

Fresh traces of blood are discovered at starboard side, just outside the officers’ quarters. No one knows who it belongs to. Panic quickly begins setting in.

Suddenly, somebody exclaims in horror: “There!” They lean over the railing, pointing at waters below. Floating in the ship’s gentle wake is the broken body of

Pitoli,

Ship Captain

, thrown overboard Pregame!

You watch helplessly as the gently lapping waves carry the captain further and further away from the side of the ship. Two crew members run off to check the radio room, only to report that all telecommunication systems are inexplicably down. The crew has been instructed to continue on to the nearest major port city in case of emergency. However, with the captain dead and communications down, the crew cannot reliably determine how far the

Vendetta

veered off course during the night. It will take some time to reorient – time that you do not have, considering there is a murderer on the loose.

The passengers begin to slip into a tense paranoia. However, it’s soon clear that they haven’t completely lost their wits. Together they go through the ship manifest and reason that whoever is responsible for the crime must be among their number.

Luckily, the culprit has nowhere to go. Since everyone is gathered out on the deck already, they will decide then and there who to put to death for the crime.

The darkest hour is just before the dawn, and as the accusations begin flying, the sun peeks over the horizon and starts its climb into the sky…

Day 1 begins!

Deadline: Thursday, October 17th, midnight PST

I'm the miller.

I'm going to die anyways, look for someone else.

^ Serious claim.

And Pitoli wished me good luck. It's okay guys, you don't have to be jealous.

Why are you going to die anyways?

I assume the town typically either lynches the miller at some point or a vig shoots him at night.

Maybe that's typical. I recently played a game that featured 2 millers, and both survived because perfect town win. And then there was that other game where I was a miller and survived because perfect town win.

What a weird way to claim. If you're "going to die anyways", shouldn't we be looking at you first, to decide whether we believe you and lynch you immediately if we don't? Why do you say this as if you expect claiming miller to let you survive for a while?

That's a good point.

CONTINUE THE WAGON!

If there is a vig, I don't expect to get past the first night.

@Fferyl: I wiki'ed my role and it says the safer route is to outright claim and prevent a wasted investigative report at the cost of my own life. I considered doing the alternative (i.e. just try to be town enough not to get investigated in the first place), but if I happen to get investigated at a bad time (such as mylo or lylo), then it could get pretty dicey and I don't know how many of you would believe me being the miller at that point when I'm against an investigative role. It would be a TvT discussion with the end result being bad either way.

Posted: **Thu Sep 26, 2013 7:34 am**

Everyone seems to be claiming miller these days maybe it's a new meta rolling in.

IMO unless the role is a mixed PR one (like the game where I was a miller/fisherman), then the optimal play is to claim with your first post.

When I've had miller roles offsite, I've just baldly claimed and then watched how people react to the info. It sometimes draws a opportunistic scum reaction.

Posted: **Thu Sep 26, 2013 7:44 am**

Well, you're obviously never going to get investigated, are you? The chances of you being a lying Godfather are slim enough that there's literally no point. Why are you concerned about getting investigated now?

Posted: **Thu Sep 26, 2013 7:45 am**

Ah, hang on, may have misread #18.
