Micro 962: Geriatric Trio II (Town Victory)

Thanks for joining the second iteration of Geriatric Trio!


I've become quite a fan of this setup and I think the Geriatric Ruleset will help a lot in this and make for a really fun game! It did last time!
I might make these games semi-regular as it's a simple setup that still gives a lot of variety and maybe can be a staple Geriatric setup with enough time!

The following post contains the rule set for this game. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns (or just want to say hello), please hit me up with a PM!

Finally, Thanks For Playing! =D

P.S.
Please take note of rule #11 of
General Gameplay and Etiquette
. It is very important to me as a moderator and I want to ensure you are aware of my ruling before you get into this.



Rules


General Gameplay and Etiquette:

Spoiler:
1. Read these rules. By asking any questions that can be answered by reading these rules, I reserve the right to point and laugh while answering.

2. Play to win and have fun! I don't know why these are always mutually exclusive in rule setups. Just enjoy and don't be a jerk! Good luck! :)

3. You may not quote private information (either real or fabricated) of any kind. This includes information discussed in any private chats, neighbourhoods, PMs, etc. Paraphrasing (for role claims, etc.) is acceptable. If you are unsure, ask first.

4. There is to be no personal communication outside of the forum postings unless your role PM specifically allows it.

5. If you have a role with a Night action, your choices are due to me by the posted deadline. If I do not receive your choice via PM or via Post in your PT by the posted deadline you will forfeit your actions. A simple “No Action” PM or post makes it so I'm not worried you forgot to send me something.

6. As a general rule you should aim to post a every 24 hours, minimum, to keep the game moving. I know some of you like to lurk, but don't make a habit of it please. I will prod players after 48 hours of inactivity. If you do not respond to a prod after 24 hours, I will start searching for a replacement. If you are prodded 3 times within the game, I will prod you after each 24 hours of inactivity, with no grace periods, and replace as necessary.

7. No invisible, impossibly small, or encrypted text. I feel this is a given though.

8. Don't edit or delete any posts in this thread.

9.
This (#800080) is my colour. Don't use it please.


10. Basically, follow all Site Rules.

11. Per recent events, and in an attempt to propagate an inclusive site culture, I ask that all players refrain from using the word "lynch" and all related terms while playing in my games. I understand that slips will happen, but I would ask that you make an active effort to keep them to a minimum. I do not plan on force replacing people over this, but if I feel you are abusing the terminology, I will send out warnings and I will force replace without much second thought. You have been warned.


Voting, Deadlines, and Player Death:

Spoiler:
1. This game will have public voting with 14 day deadlines until the start of day 3. From then there will be 10 day deadlines. If a majority is reached early, the hammer will fall and that person will be eliminated. If no Elimination is secured by deadline, a NoElim will occur.

2. Night phases will last 48 hours throughout the game. All actions must be submitted to myself (Aristophanes) by this time.

3. Please submit votes as: VOTE: PlayerName or
Vote: PlayerName
 in the thread. Votes will NOT be counted if they are not Bolded or Vote Tagged! Obvious abbreviations or nicknames will be counted so long as they are unambiguous. They will also not count if they are spoilered. A spoilered vote is a joke vote in the eyes of this Mod.

4. Please submit vote revocations as 
Unvote: PlayerName
 or UNVOTE: . Unvotes are not necessary before changing votes.

5. You may vote for a "NoElim" if you would like. Unlike for a regular hammer, it takes half of the players' votes in order to succeed.

6. Once majority is reached, the game enters twilight until I post a death scene or lock the thread (obviously); all players including the one who was eliminated may continue to post during twilight.

7. You may post one "Bah" post after death so long as it contains no game relevant information.


Mechanics/Miscellaneous:

Spoiler:
1. This game will begin with Day 1.

2. Standard NAR applies.

3. This is a Semi-Open Setup, so I reserve the right to refuse answering any of your questions, but will try to be as helpful as I can be :)

4. The moderator will never lie to you. All information you are disclosed is true. However, this post plus your role PM is all I will tell you, not counting clarification per request.

5. Cheating may ban you from future Mafia rounds. Don’t do it.

6. If you are going V/LA or suspect you will be unable to post, please let me know, either inthread by
Bolding it
or via PM. Both I and your fellow scummers will appreciate this courtesy.

7. If I missed any important rules, please let me know!


Game Specific/Geriatric Rules:

Spoiler:
1. This is a Modern Trio setup, so be aware of all possible setups!

2. Every player is allowed a maximum of 10 posts in a 24 hour period. In the 24 hour period immediately preceding a deadline, players are allowed a maximum of 15 posts.

3. 24 Hour Periods start when the day starts. If, for example, D2 opens at 11pm EST, the posting period also starts at this time.

4. Every player starts with a reserve of 20 additional posts. Any posts above the daily limit are subtracted from this reserve.

5. Players who deplete their reserve will receive a warning. Any further infractions after that will incur mod punishment.

6. If a player has hit the daily limit and depleted their reserve, they are allowed one naked vote change per 24h post-reset period.

It's worth noting that there is a typo in the MD PM on the wiki. Motion detector detects movement from or targeting the player, not just movement from the player twice.

Hello, I am future Porkens.

I traveled back in time to warn you that this game resulted in a scum win. Me and two other members of the town did sort of an autopsy to figure out where things went wrong for us.

From our analysis, town started to go astray in . This was compounded by thre lolhammer and subsequent misflip in . The fake claim in sealed our fate. If we had recognized the glaring townslip in or not let the wagon collapse on day 2, we might have saved it.

And of course everything got turned on it head after creature replaced in. That didn’t help matters.

Anyway I’m sorry I can’t be more specific, but the quote function can’t pass through the time portal. I only hope this helps you avoid our fate! Good luck!

@mod
: As written, this means that once your reserve is empty you may only change your vote once for the remainder of the phase. Can you clarify that this is what you intended?

I believe Agar and Porkens to be slightly more likely to be town than the rest of you.

VOTE: KMD

Come, my sheep. Jump to this new and clearly superior wagon.

VOTE: sou and Kama I'm rvsing datisi. Also I think it would be productive to play chess peppered in to some stuff and to randomize color I will use dice and then basically do my first move if I am white and if I'm black then I'll assume you just go e4 and respond with c5
Original Roll String: 1d2
1 2-Sided Dice: (1) = 1
1 I'm w and 2 I'm b

so white if it's not e4 then you can choose a different first move if you want and also this should be considered an open chellenge so anyone who wants to battle me chess can

What even is this thread right now

Posted: Wed Aug 12, 2020 6:29 am

hello friends, i am back! seeing how this game is very active and how everyone is so eagar to post, i have decided to make a detailed readslist that will hopefully accurately reflect my current feelings on the gamestate!

Michael Scott (Auro + volxen)
- this slot is locktown in my eyes. their entrance (in post ) is brimming with a relaxed, confident tone that is never seen in players of the scum alignment. posts like and show a great will to solve the game and a profound analysis of the gamestate that can only come from an uninformed perspective. and the brilliance of can only come from someone pure of heart. if anyone were to ever vote for this slot to be executed, i'd wonder if that person is purposefully trying to throw the game.

Bingle
- bingle is my second most confident townread. his early posts and show a deep interest in this game's mechanical side, which is something i have personally only ever seen from bingle when he was aligned with the town. the confidence and passion with which he presents his reads in make me strongly believe it's coming from a genuine place.

clidd
- while the number of universes in which clidd is aligned with the mafia is non-zero, i highly doubt that we are living in one of them. his opening in post is very very similar to his one of his early posts in Micro 941 in which his slot was aligned with the town. based on what's happened so far, i have no reason to doubt his alignment is not the same this game.

Porkens
- this one is tricky. while post by itself, as funny as it is, is not alignment indicative, when looked at the full picture, i do conclude it is indicative of porkens being town more often than not. what led me to that conclusion is the fact that i can draw some obvious parallels between porkens's play this game and his play in Why Gun?? - namely posting one big "memey" post then disappearing. the reason this is somewhat town!indicative is because porkens was aligned with the mafia in the aforementioned game, and based on what's happened so far, i have no reason to think scum!porkens would repeat the same play.

AGar
- dead null. i have nothing on this guy.

Kmd4390
- looking at their ISO, they're a scumlean of mine. while post is NAI, post reads like blatant fake dumbtelling to me. "what even is this thread", we're playing mafia, silly! i doubt you didn't know that, though.

xReckonerX
- i think it's very likely reckoner is aligned with the mafia. my train of thought is that in he voted against agar with a comment "game's too easy", implying he's already solved agar's slot and that agar is mafia. however, in his next post in , he changes his vote to porkens. this makes me think that the earlier confidence and bravado of is fake and fabricated, which is scum!indicative. also, as my hydra partner's already observed, why did you quote the chess post.

bugspray
- unfortunately, i think this is another game where bugs rolled scum against me. post offers nothing game related, and i know scum!bugs struggles to make game-related content. and since then, bugs has suspiciously gone quiet, not even responding to the chess move in . i'm sorry you rolled scum again, bugs.

Sou and Kanna (Datisi + Kanna)
- this is obvscum. kill it with fire.

okay, that's all for now! i will be back later!

Wow,
SOMEONE
finally recognizes the sheer brilliance of Michael Scott! Surely my employees "get it" as well, but they are too intimidated to tell me I'm brilliant to my face -- it's not as if they all think I'm a total idiot and make fun of me behind my back! Dwight, make a note that these two probably aren't Toby -- and put them on the shortlist for that "Assistant to the Assistant to the Assistant to the Assistant to the Regional Manager" position that we have coming up! Toby never recognizes my sheer brilliance....
