[Basic] Christmas Mentors & Maffia

csarmi · December 21, 2013

Game is over. Post #5 for spoilers.

Theme:

This is a christmas party. Please bring some drinks and snacks, dress for the occasion and enjoy.
Roles and characters: you're playing as yourselves. You can claim any role or character, but I suggest you claim as yourself and choose from the possible roles list :-)

Miscellanous:

Andrej (AJ) will be my co-mod for this event.
I'll be very flexible with deadlines. I realize that everyone has a life and it's christmas time.
Role PM's are public knowledge. The purpose of this is simply to eliminate arguments like "uhm no, see, you can't be XXX role because you would totally have a different role pm!". In other words - I want you to not discuss role PM's. No hidden meanings there, no advantage to be gained.

Rulings during the game - quick reference. Will format it when I get the chance.

Remember it is allowed to edit posts.

#Personalattacks: if someone has a problem with any of the posts, they are to take up with me in PM

#absolutemajority: as in 50%+1 is calculated on the basis of all the people alive, not just those who place a vote

#gifts: they have no direct effect on the game (they will effect your mood and that might have an indirect effect)

Please do let me know if you're gonna be away for more than 36 hours. Completely acceptable during holidays - but i d like a heads up. Tx.

Please note that only votes starting with ##vote are accepted. Cause I can't search the topic for "##" (less than 3 characters).

Each and every one of you has been sent a PM informing you that the grace period is over soon. I've also nudged people on their QT's (everyone has one). In the future, no such announcement will be made in PM or QT, everyone is expected to read the thread.

Mod announcements will be in green, You may also ask the mods questions in green, if you like.

Corrected. For future reference, there are no vote sheenanigans (as this is a basic game) so if it looks like I messed up it's probably cause I did.

Please do not quote from other games. In case of games that have already finished, feel free to reference them if it suits your agenda.

For future reference, this is what the mentors are being told.

Try to find the balance there - I'm sure you'll manage. It's hard to draw the line.

Try to be helpful without leading. Like, I dunno, point out ways to look at things, share strategies you like to use, this sort of thing. You're obviously allowed to talk about the game in question.

Mostly, it's up to you two to figure out what to do with this QT. I don't want to be too limiting. From what I read on the other QT's, it can be a very good experience.

That make any sense?

Just a quick reminder. You are allowed to edit posts (as long as you use it for formatting purposes, for correcting typos and obvious mistakes).

I've been giving a lot of leeway concerning activity due to the holidays. The holidays are now over. I expect everyone to get back into the game soon and I'll require full activity starting from now on.

As I have posted at the start of the game, every single player has a QT available, some with their mentor, some with only me and AJ. There will be no discussion of formatting issues in my game. If you believe someone is breaking the rule by copying, quoting, discussing things they shouldn't be, you may take it up with me directly.

#Referencing other games - #929 is about the limit of what's allowed. Don't go farther than that please. If in doubt, ask me first.

It is now night 2. New Deadline: 2013-01-07, 15:00GMT

Timer: End of Night-2

Night has a fixed length. It means that it doesn't matter when the actions come in. Also, a logical consequence is that night actions can be changed anytime you like, as long as the deadline hasn't passed yet.

In the future, please refrain from posting at dawn (the period between night deadline and night scene posted) and dusk (the period between hammer accepted and day scene posted).

You'll find all important announcements in the first posts, including this one.

Nolder. I suggest you ask for a replacement if you can't handle the game.
Peace you are the one who is having a personal issue with me not the other way around.
I'm not subbing out of the game, either because you think I'm cheating or because you're just pissed at me, and if that bothers you you're welcome to take your own advice.

This stops here.

Again, if you got a personal problem with anyone, an objection to any play or any post, you are to PM me to sort it out.

As I have received no such PM's from anyone so far, I consider all of this as gameplay. So play on.

Game rules:

This is a normal mafia game. It should go without saying, but normal mafia rules apply unless I explicitly state otherwise. Do not cheat and do not make personal attacks.
Each Day, you may vote for a lynch.
Votes must be directly preceded by ## so that I may find them easily. Format is ##vote Salami.
Unvoting is not necessary. If you do unvote, however, please include the name of the player you're unvoting. Format is ##unvote Salami, ##vote AJ.
Absolute majority is required for a lynch. Once this is achieved, the lynch will proceed immediately (i.e. hammer game).
Should an absolute majority vote “No Lynch” or should no absolute majority be reached by deadline, there will be no lynch and the game will proceed directly to Night phase.
Deadlines will be mutable and based on activity. If I sense that the players are making an effort and could achieve a decision soon, I will likely extend deadline. Should I sense the opposite, I will not.
I expect substantive posts and non-trivial votes from each player each Day. If in my subjective opinion, you are not doing enough, I will modkill or replace you. I may or may not warn you depending on how grumpy I am.
The roles in this setup are listed. None of those are guaranteed to be in the game. Assume nothing. Focus on gameplay. Play to win.
The Town wins when all anti-town players are eliminated.
The Mafia wins when all players who cannot win with the mafia are dead or nothing can prevent this from happening. Voting majority is only relevant insofar as it is a means to this end.
Play within the rules and play to your win condition.
If you break the rules or do anything to piss me off, I will cut off your hands, I will sew your mouth shut, and you won’t even get the usual recourse.
GL HF DD!
Rules were borrowed from Wombat.

*** clears throat ***

Ladies and Gentlemen!

I give you the Lady of the Evening, the one organizing this Christmas Night for you, the one and only ...

BFG · December 22, 2013

BFG smiles as the band stops playing and an expectant silence falls and lifts her drink up

"Welcome friends, it's fantastic to see you all here. It's far too early for speeches and nobodies had enough to drink to make them bearable so I'm just going to say thanks to our hosts Csarmi and AJ for providing such an amazing venue. And I hope you have an amazing evening with us tonight"

She takes another sip of her punch then stops as the dim lights suddenly seem bright and the good natured cheers from her friends suddenly seem to be heard through a long, echoey tunnel

Blackhoof · December 22, 2013

hello

csarmi · December 22, 2013

...

This all turns into a confusion when BFG faints mid-sentence. What's happening here?

A quick examination shows that there must have been something wrong with the punch. But who would try to poison our hostess and why? Fortunately, it seems that she'll be recovering soon.

BFG, Innocent Child has been silenced for the duration of Night-0.

You set out to find the people who did it. Surely they must be among the guests. No other explanation makes sense.

...

csarmi · December 22, 2013

The game has started.

Start chatting, playing, getting comfortable. Whatever you feel like.

Night-0 is the time to get ready. Day-1 will start as soon as everyone checked (and BFG gets better).

Blackhoof · December 22, 2013

hello

Theodora · December 22, 2013

Hi Blackhoof, nice to meet you. Impressive sig you have :smile:

Should we call you Black?

You can all call me Theo/a for short.

peacesells · December 22, 2013

yo

Blackhoof · December 22, 2013

Hi Blackhoof, nice to meet you. Impressive sig you have

Should we call you Black?

You can all call me Theo/a for short.

Why thank you. Dead Cthulhu waits dreaming in His house at R'lyeh, waiting for the day when the stars are right and He can walk the earth once more, bringing about the destruction and madness of mankind. Ia! Ia! Cthulhu Fhtagn!

Hoof is more common I have noticed, but you can call me whatever you like :wink:

Leelou · December 22, 2013

HiHi

_CLOUD · December 22, 2013

Hi

Leelou · December 22, 2013

Sup?

_CLOUD · December 22, 2013

Hungover, and trying to slowly feel human again. You?

Leelou · December 22, 2013

Going to try to go back to sleep for a few hours.

_CLOUD · December 22, 2013

Goodnight :)

Blackhoof · December 22, 2013

_CLOUD · December 22, 2013

Fair point. Go big or go home.

_CLOUD · December 22, 2013

Dammit. I spilled coffee over my keyboard.

Turin Turambar · December 22, 2013

Salutations...

Cloud, I think there may be an app for that :smile:

<MODTALK>

Something that came up in several conversations. Mentors are allowed no gameplay in here. They can come in and say a general hi, or wish people a merry christmas, but nothing more.
