Zepher Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 The world of Mafia Land is having yet another grayish time period. The Female Lover, certain that she's going to die tonight, relaxes near her lover's grave. Meanwhile, at Dr. Pill's table, the Doctor looks at the pills. He can't figure out what sort of medicine they are. "Uppers? Downers? Those just sound like drugs. And how the hell did he develop a pill that allows someone to survive a killing?! And what about the one that makes us unable to lynch people? This is hardly medicine." The Doctor's thoughts are... cut short, however. Elsewhere... The First Day Lynch, in a misguided attempt to figure out what flavor he is, sets to work on the Sci-Fi facade which, with only one member of the Sci-Fi flavor left, has not been receiving much love and care and in all honesty doesn't really look that good. The Godfather coasts by on his bike and *BANG* goes a pistol. In all unlikelihood, the First Day Lynch flies backwards and crashes into the very slow going pirate themed facade. The Godfather laughs quietly to himself, but is stopped in his tracks by some dark figure shooting lightning. There is a resounding popping noise... And the Godfather is gone. A dark figure passes by the Female Lover. "If you're here to kill me," she begins, "I've got a few things I'd like to say to you first-" The next day, it is Dr. Pill who calls the meeting, not Zepher. "Alright, enough is enough. People keep dying near my pill table, and I'm sick of it." "I think this is the first person to die on your pill table," the Treestump points out. "And I'm sick of it!" Dr. Pill exclaims. "I am a man of science. How am I supposed to conduct my experiments with all this flesh around?! I only need the bones and blood, people!" "Wait... what are these pills made out of, exactly?" "He's a witch!" "Usurper was scum, obviously. The Doctor was town, the Godfather scum, the First DAy Lynch town. Now, some team win already." But where is Zepher, you may ask? "This is my favorite grave ever." The Rules 1 Each player will be given a character to play, who will be aligned with either the Town or the Scum. To win the game, the Town must kill off all the Scum and the SK, while the Scum must outnumber the Town. Any Third-Party (neutral) characters have their own win conditions as outlined below. 2 Each day you will be able to vote to lynch a player. Voting should be done in the following format; Vote: Character (Player). Similarly, unvoting is to be done in the format; Unvote: Character (Player). No other format will be accepted. The player with the most lynches will be lynched. You may only unvote once a day. 3 A game day will last for about 72 hours. Whoever has the most votes at the end of the day will be lynched. The two characters with the highest vote counts will be lynched. You may not vote in the first 24 hours. After the day has concluded, a night phase will commence, which will last a maximum of 48 hours. Night actions must be sent to the host in the first 24 hours of the night phase. 4 The alignment of lynched players, as well as those that died during the night, will be revealed at the beginning of the next day. 5 You may not quote or pretend to quote anything sent to or from you in PM with the game host. This includes all the details of your character and role, as well as any night action results. Role claims and reporting of night action results are acceptable, but in your own words only. Do not attempt to use the structure of your role PM to your advantage, as they are all exactly the same. 6 You may not quote PMs from or to other players. This will result in a 5-vote penalty the same day, and a 5-vote penalty the next. (What can I say, I liked this rule!) 7 Do not play the game outside the day-thread and PMs. Similarly, do not post out of character inside the thread; you must always play the role given to you. Game tactics and roles may only be discussed in the game thread or via PM with other players. Private discussion is done at your own risk and should be treated as part of the game. 8 If you are dead, your game is over. You may not comment on the game to any living or dead players in any form. You are considered dead once you are a) confirmed lynched by the host, or b) announced dead in the morning. This includes posting, private messaging, direct chat, email or any other form of online or offline communication. Any information you had becomes void and may not be passed on. The same applies for living players making contact with those who are no longer playing, no matter what the stated purpose. Both situations can appear to be an attempt to gain information or cause influence that would be unfair to the remaining living players. Whether you are still playing or have already died, if you are contacted inappropriately, please notify the host immediately. Violation of this rule will result in instant mod-kill and probably something worse after the game. 9 You may not edit your posts. Editing your post will result in a 2-vote penalty. This is your only warning. 10 You must post in every Day Thread. Failure to do so will result in a 10-vote penalty at the start of the next day. 11 These rules will change during the game as a game mechanic. Pay close attention. Any and all changes will be struck through, with the new rule in bold. If you encounter a problem or have a question, please contact the host using your role PM. All other forms of communications will be ignored. THE DESIGN 23 Players 16 Town - 6 Scum - 1 SK The Day 24 Hour Safe Period - 48 Hour Voting Period - 48 Hour Night Period (With a full exciting 24 hour period to submit night actions!) Some time before the 24 Hour Mark, the Pill Cart will be rolled out. The time will be randomized each day, to be fair to timezones. The time will be chosen by Random.org. The Pills will effect that night or the following day. The Pills "God Pill" (Effect the following day, will not be removed from play) - 2 Uppers (Night action may be used twice) - 2 Lifesavers (Will be safe from a kill that night) - 16 Placebos (No Effect) - 2 Downers (Night action may not be performed) -If a person holding a pill is lynched or killed, the pill is removed from play- The Night Actions Town and Scum have NEARLY IDENTICAL ROLES with only a few tweaks to change for their sides. JOAT Town: Investigator/Protector Scum: Framer (2 Shot)/Protector/Janitor (1 Shot) Role Cop Killer Blocker Inventor Can invent a net (blocker), shield (protector), magnifying glass (investigation), or pistol (kill action). Bulletproof. Inscrutable (all investigation attempts including role cop will come up as "unsuccessful"). The inventor may either gift his invention, or create a new one, he may not do both on the same night. Universal Back-Up -When a scum with an action dies, the scum team may choose to drop an action and retain the one they would have lost.- -The Pill Cart will come in the first 24 hours at different times each day, decided by Random.Org. You post IN THREAD which pill you will be taking that day. It is first come, first serve.- Serial Killer Bulletproof. Hard to Read (If an investigator investigates him, the result will be "unsuccessful", but a role cop will receive the result of "killer".). Killer Role PM's Town: Character - Town - Night Action(s) Scum: Character - Scum - Night Action(s) - List of Fellow Scum's Names SK: Character - SK - Night Actions Win Conditions Town: Kill the Scum + SK Scum: Outnumber the Town + SK SK: Two other players alive, with no other win conditions met. THE CAST (Please remember, with the system being totally random, the characters have nothing to do with affiliation/NA) Zepher/The Host (Zepher) - Your lovely and hungry host. Dr. Pill - The man with the golden oar. One-Armed-Pete - Makes the crowd sounds you know and love. Thinks of the children. Candice the Lynch Dragon - She knows when you are sleeping. She knows where you're awake. The Night Action Blacked-Out Dude (Bob) - A fiend in the evening. The Role Cop (KielDaMan) - Watches you while you don't sleep. The Cult Leader (Rufus) - Rather mysterious. The Serious Roleplayer (Tamamono) - By day he may be a construction worker, but in his heart, he's a pirate. The NPC (Esurient) - Not a player. Seriously, look, he's clearly not supposed to be voted for. Not a player. Maybe we should vote for him. The Goon (fhommess) - Grrrrr. The PGO (Purpearljellyblob) - Serving some time for accidentally shooting all of his neighbors. The Witch (Waterbrick Down) - Pretty sure that everyone else is also witches. The Treestump (Adam) - Has very little to say. Don't stand too closely. He may explode. The Snake Charmer (Darth Potato) - Every town has a snake charmer. Didn't you know that? The Talking Animal (mostlytechnic) - A staple of every normal society. Range from camels to Fabuland critters to this thing. Dearly Departed The Serial Killer (Walter Kovacs) - Town. Lynched Day One. Candice's first lunch. The Cop (def) - Town. Killed Night One. Ax to the back for being on the wrong side of the tracks. The Vanilla Townie (Kristel) - Town. Killed Night One. Decapitated and then planted. Hopefully she'll grow into a tree some day. The Cultist (Fred Daniel Yam) - Town. Silently swallowed by the great Lynch Dragon. The Male Lover (LegoDad) - Scum. Snapped up by Candice. Tasted spicy. The Virgin (Clanure) - Town. Killed Night Two. Finally "got some". The Jester (CallMePie) - Town. Killed Night Two. Was not lynched. The Usurper (TrumpetKing) - Scum. Lynched Day Three. Became a viking funeral for the Cop. The Doctor (Piratedave84) - Town. Killed Night Three. Had the common cold the whole time, couldn't figure out how to cure himself. First Day Lynch (Jamesn) - Town. Killed Night Three. Exceeded all expectations. The Godfather (Kadabra) - Scum. Killed Night Three. Gone away on vacation. The Female Lover (Hinckley) - Town. Killed Night Three. Now resting in pieces with her scummy hubby.
Bob Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 Only two scum left, this is very good. When I say two scum, I'm not counting Darth Potato anymore. How ironic that the Usurper and the Godfather were both scum.
Tamamono Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 Alrighty, guys, here's how this is going to work. When the pill cart comes around, take a placebo. This goes to everyone. Do not take the God PilI. The God Pill's fate is yet to be determined. Similarly, do not take the Fairy Tale Pill. This is my pill today. DarthPotato can't take it again. Haha, suck it, Potato. I would also like to ask that nobody takes the Bobblyhead Pill. One person will receive a message to take the Bobblyhead Pill when the cart comes around. If they do not, they will be our second lynch. We have two lynches today, so let's kill two scum. There are eleven people left, so the votes are to be allotted as so: -Once voting opens, the first 5 people vote for DarthPotato. If you are one of the first five voters and do not vote for DarthPotato, you will be killed by the vigilante. -After those votes have been reached, either I or Cult Leader will tell you who the second target is. Everyone who has not voted at this point must vote for this person. As for vote candidates, we have Role Cop, Talking Animal, Goon, PGO, Witch, Tree Stump, NPC, and BONAD. There are 2 scum out of these 8 people. I'm inclined to say that Goon, Talking Animal, Tree Stump, and NPC are town. Goon and Talking Animal are very protown and sincere in-thread. NPC has been accused by LegoDad/Usurper/Godfather. Kadabra tried to get me to suspect Tree Stump via PM in such a way that no scum would ever do to their teammmates. So, for right now, Role Cop, PGO, Witch, and BONAD are our main suspects. I'd love to hear some opinions before the second lynch is revealed. And I'd just like to say thank you to the poor, sweet Hinck. Without you, none of this would be possible. We'll catch the rest of those scummy bastards for you, Hinck!
Bob Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 I wouldn't be surprised if the Witch and the Paranoid Gun Owner were the last two scum.
fhomess Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 I wouldn't be surprised if the Witch and the Paranoid Gun Owner were the last two scum. That seems awfully convenient for you being in the final list. Would you care to elaborate on why?
Bob Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 Well, the Witch is the one that was targeted Night One and survived. However, the PGO's reaction to Tammo's request will be the ultimate test of her loyalty. Now then, I don't think the scum will try and sacrifice themselves again and lose another member today by trying to steal the fairy-tale pill, but they're getting desperate so who knows.
mostlytechnic Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 Roleplayer, I think the plan looks good and I'm anxious to lynch two scum tonight! Too bad it'll take 72 hours to do so... maybe the werewolf will accelerate the day once the votes are in place?
XimenaPaulina Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 That's a very solid plan Serious Roleplayer, I'm all up for it. Darth Potato is as good as lynched today, and I think we'll be able to draw the scum out with both the pill choices and lynch voting strategy. I understand why I am in the final list of suspects, since I know at this stage of the game with the town block winding down the list of suspects, every unconfirmed player is a possible scum. So I'll just let my actions do the talking. As for the suspects, I have suspected the PGO since Day 1, but haven't really pursued him since there have been better lynch candidates that have been brought up in the past two days. His failure to vote yesterday is another red flag in my book. No matter what reason he may have (going to church, check-up in a hospital, going to the bathroom, etc.), I just don't think that is very helpful especially when the town needed every vote from all the remaining townies (good thing we made a successful lynch despite lacking the needed 75% majority). So if I will have my say, I'd lynch Darth Potato and the PGO today, but it is up to the Town Leaders to decide on that matter.
Zepher Posted June 6, 2013 Author Posted June 6, 2013 The Pill Cart is now open. 1) First come, first serve - whoever claims a pill first, gets it. Bold your selection in your post. If someone asks for the pill you want before you, too bad. 2) You will find out what your pill does at the 48 hour mark. You make pick pills up until then. Pills are not optional. 3) Your pill dies with you. Except the God Pill. 4) You may NOT pick the same pill two days in a row. Sorry. The Pills 1) Light saber Pill 2) Magical Pill 3) Cursed Pill 4) Pill of Valhalla 5) Riot Pill 6) Mystery Pill 7) Mystical Pill 8) Bobblyhead Pill 9) Rum 10) A Pearl 11) Fairy Tale Pill
mostlytechnic Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 Well, that settles that! Another scummo revealed... Light Saber placebo pill for me please... So, anyone else going to reveal themselves by grabbing the Fairy Tale?
Rufus Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 Rum please! Nice of the godfather to take out one of our suspects! Not many left who aren't cleared now.
Bob Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 Wow, totally called the last two scum. We'll lynch Potato and Witch today and then tomorrow we'll lynch out the PGO.
Bob Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 Well, since I can't kill anymore (both scum are bulletproof), I suppose it's time I come right out and say that my scumdar picked four of the six scum members. Oh, right, I'm the vigilante. I tried killing Witch night one, Darth Potato night two, and then I killed Kadabra night three. It's a real damn shame that the inventor is bulletproof, otherwise we could lynch off Witch and PGO today and save Potato for the myself. However, I digress. Looks like we'll just have to drag this out to Day Five then. We also need to find the serial killer, whoever could it be? Would you like to save the trouble and reveal yourself to us? You're bulletproof too so I can't kill you. My role is actually insignificant right now considering I can't touch any of our scum and the serial killer is bulletproof. I was hoping for a big reveal on a later date, but whatever. Serial killer, if you come clean, we'll use town magic to convert you into a townie. Sort of.
fhomess Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 And here I thought the last two scum would try to blend in to last a bit longer. This helps a fair amount. I will take the Pearl, please.
Tamamono Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 Scum suck. I'll take the Mystical Pill. I love how the entire scum team claimed literally in thread just so they could be lynched and then blocked. Thanks guys! And now Darth Potato has to take the Bobblyhead pill, since Adam took it yesterday and can't take it again. Alright, anyways, with this new turn of events, we need a change of plan: Once voting opens, the first four people will vote for DarthPotato. The next four will vote for WBD. Bob might have revealed himself, but I do have another rather nasty surprise for those who don't cooperate.
DarthPotato Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 Cursed Pill please. You Townies don't know what's coming.
Tamamono Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 Adam took the Bobblyhead pill before and now has to take it again... O mighty Werewolf, what shall you do?? Cursed Pill please. You Townies don't know what's coming. Your death. I forgot earlier that you have penalties. We can now split the votes in such a way that makes it impossible for you and Witch to not be killed.
DarthPotato Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 Oh no, you don't understand right now. It'll all make sense when voting time comes around. I forgot earlier that you have penalties. We can now split the votes in such a way that makes it impossible for you and Witch to not be killed. Actually, I only had the penalties yesterday.
