Games [GAME OVER] CYOR IV

[Jeod]

Waiting on roles from the following:

@Nodlied

@ChopBam

@Killing_You

@Category 5 Hurricane

@FRAYDO

Please try to have these in by the 10th so I can spend the 11th and 12th preparing the game. For anyone not signed up yet, you have until the 10th to do so. Thanks!

[FRAYDO]

Wednesday or Thursday for sure, after my essay is done.

[ChopBam]

Ok.

[TheIrishman]

@Alstar

@Chaos_Knight

@Mojoman

@kamuixmod

@Isaac The Madd

@Retaliation

@VERTi60

@Voe

If any of you aren't incredibly busy and are looking for some fun, come and join!

 

[Jeod]

@Voe has to date been Black Science Man and Jerry Boyd from Yuri's Revenge. Both of them have been absolutely comical to make descriptions and abilities for. It's a shame he doesn't seem interested in mafia anymore.

[Jeod]

Oh, and if you only submitted one role, consider if it's viable for multiple alignments. It's more helpful if you submit either one role with multiple possible alignments or multiple roles for each possible alignment.

[Jeod]

All roles are in and final balancing tweaks are being made. If there are no additional signups before tomorrow morning, then the game can begin tomorrow at hammertime.

[Jeod]

Game will start in approx. 8 hours and 30 minutes.

Salutations friends. Sheriff Sunflower here. Welcome to the Howdy Townie Saloon. Thank y'all for coming on such short notice. I won't waste your time by beating around the bush. Our town was struck by the darkest tragedy this past night. Our beloved Psyduck was murdered!

I found the poor fellow hanging from the old oak tree at the center of town this very morning. His neck was snapped and his feathers singed with the stomach churning scent of barbecue. All of the life was sapped right out of him, only to leave us here on this dreary and desolate day, forlorn and duckless. He was simple folk just like all of us here in this town. All of us that is, except the murderers who stand in this very room! I've been vigilant as your Sheriff to check the town ledger, and there can be no doubt. No outsider could have done this deed. That's right. The perpetrators of this monstrous crime have the nerve to sit among us as we mourn and toast to the death of the sweet duck they vanquished.

Mayor Jeod decreed that justice for this heinous atrocity shall be meted out through our town's traditional system. And that's not all. The mayor placed a bounty of 500,000 gold pieces for the heads of the killers, to be distributed among all the heroic townfolk who find the perps. My fingers burn to shoot these abominations of nature myself, but our traditions must come first. Each day, y'all vote for the killer, and whoever has the most votes shall hang in the same fashion that they killed our good friend. The process will continue until the murderer or murders are found or until the end is nigh for us all. God willing, the wicked creatures who killed psyduck shall face their judgment. Godspeed and good luck!

As always, the rules are standard: Mafia must try to equal or exceed Town numbers. Town must eliminate all hostiles, which are defined as Mafia or Third Party alignment--one or both of these alignments may exist in this game. If any Neutral alignments exist, they must complete their own objectives but can decide whether to help any other alignments if the situation allows them to.

Day phases last 48 hours and always begin and end at 11:00PM GMT (6:00PM EST for Americans). Night phases are similar, but only last 24 hours. During the Day, players talk amongst themselves and decide on who to lynch. It is, of course, possible to spare someone from the noose by voting NoLynch (##vote Nolynch or NoLynch). Players who vote for this twice in a row will be subject to a penalty and will be forced to vote for themselves the following day. There is no early hammer in this game. At the end of the day, the player with the majority vote will be lynched. In the event of a tie, a coin toss via random.org will decide the player to be lynched.

Night phase rules will be further explained at the Night One post, but they are standard.

Shamelessly stolen additional rules

• No quoting GM communication or other out of thread communication.

• No out of thread communication unless specifically allowed by the GM.

• No content-posts after death unless allowed by the GM. White noise that doesn't affect the game is fine. Use your best judgment, but remember that anything you say can be taken by the players to mean something it doesn't. If in doubt, say nothing. The same goes if you aren't playing, and double if you aren't playing and have been spoilered.

• Don't try to break the game. No sillyness like telling everyone to make a roleclaim post and encrypt it, then reveal their encryption keys/methods all at once for example. No saying "my role PM has X characters in it" And if you come up with it, and you're a little too proud of coming up with it as a way to get around the spirit of the game, don't post it. Mods, do your best to prevent this crap in the first place if you can. Don't give everyone with the same role and/or win condition the exact same wording for example.

• "Outside influences" such as bribing, threats, promises, whatever falls under the above. Don't do it.

• Don't be an ass. This includes "bussing" fellow scum/cultist teammates. By bussing we mean revealing fellow scumteam members as scum to spite them or gain townie points.

• No backseat modding. Unless the game's GM/Mod asks for forum moderator assistance, let them handle it. Especially if they have forum moderator privileges themselves. This is more of a respect/courtesy thing than a rule. Pointing out that the hammer has fallen and no one should be talking until the moderator handles it is fine; deleting posts put up after the hammer isn't.

• If you signed up for a Mafia Game, you're expected to participate actively. It's up to a GM to setup a minimal post quota for each player so that the game won't get hampered by inactive players. If you know you won't be able to play for more than one day, it is your responsibility to let the GM know in advance.

• Please don't try to be an Internet detective to find out who was online where and when. Not only is it not a good way of hunting down players, it's also a bit creepy and unfair for the person. Don't base most of your case on someone around "his last online time was X thus he was online at hammer but didn't post/vote" for example.

• Don't edit your posts in game thread. Make a second post and preface it with "Mafia Edit:" to show it's a continuation or correction of a previous post.

• NEW: Players can vote to nominate a player to the item vault at the end of each day

• NEW: When a player dies, their items are sent to the item vault.

• NEW: Players are allowed to use one night action AND one item action per night. Players may pass as many unique items as they like. EX: players may pass item A and item B on the same night, but only ONE of each item may be passed during that night.

Did you draw that duck yourself?

[Shade939]

So, anyone else joining in on the western theme then?

[ChopBam]

Hi I just want y'all to know that this time I'm definitely still town-oriented. Let us find the perpetrators of this savage killing and bring them to duckstice.

[iLikeToSnipe]

This doesn't seem like a very pleasant neighborhood.

They had cake in the wild west, though few could afford it.

[TheIrishman]

I think the best way to help track down our perp is to head down to the nearest saloon, talk to the bartender and see what kind of information we can find. After we get what we need, we can squeeze the suspects to see how they react. (Currently playing through Red Dead Redemption 2, so I appreciate the western theme).

Hey, there's a 500,000 Gold Bounty out for whoever killed that Pysduck. That must be worth at least one slice right?

Your avatar would be appropriate for Shade, most games.

Well supplies are limited out here.  I estimate there are only four slices in total, with escalating costs as the supply is snapped up!

Does that mean we actually get a bonus prize for catching scum (like the gold can buy us an item)? Or is it just flavor?

A better question is why would you want to buy Cake from an Orange?

Orange is a perfectly good flavor, and color wise there are other flavors that have the color orange.

Nope, but I photo shopped it a little. You can find pretty much anything on the internets!

Just some good ole fashioned smoked flavor.

Do you also sell these?

No, but I did get an idea for my next CYOR role that could involve vodka, and vodka is made from potatoes.

[Jeod]

Made a correction to the hammertimes due to daylight savings. For you easterners, hammer is at 11:00PM GMT.

[ChopBam]

OrangeP47 confirmed as GLaDOS.
