2008 Presidential Election: The Mini-Mafia [Concluded]

[GeneralHankerchief]

2008 Presidential Election: The Mini-Mafia

(note: It is recommended, but not required, that players have at least a passing knowledge of the 2008 United States presidential election (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_US_Presidential_Election). Also, please read the rules before joining.)

Welcome, one and all, to the world of American Politics! This mini-mafia will try to simulate the upcoming Presidential Election by changing the rules a bit.

- First of all, nobody dies. People can lose their special powers or they simply won't be able to have the opportunity to win, but everybody votes in every voting round.

- There will be 11 players, split into two major categories: Politicians and non-Politicians. The Politicians will be further split into two subcategories: Democrats and Republicans. It is the goal of every Politician to win the election and become President. Non-Politicians' goals vary.

Stage 1

- Each night phase, the politicians will PM me with the choice of the player they wish to "discredit" - i.e. remove from the Presidential race in a not-so-friendly way. The person with the most PM votes is removed from the race, with an accompanying story about the scandal that did them in.

- Each day phase, everybody, including the Politicians, vote on who they think engineered this scandal (voters are cynical, you see, and want a trustworthy President in office above all else). The person with the most votes is hereby out of the race.

- This continues until there is one Democrat and one Republican left in the race. Therefore, if there is one Republican left and three Democrats, you cannot discredit/vote against that Republican; you must target the Democrats.

Stage 2

- Once we've narrowed down our Presidential candidates, it's time for the General Election stage. Each night, both Politicians will target separate non-Politicians and eliminate their special power by destroying their credibility. If this happens, the non-Politicians lose their power and become a normal Voter.

- Then, everybody votes on the "cleanest" candidate up to that point. That candidate will receive one "point", which comes in handy later.

- Later, rinse, repeat until there are two Politicians and one non-Politician remaining.

Election Day

- Everybody votes for the candidate they want to win the Election. Each vote counts for one "point" with the other ones from previous votes being added on. The person with the most "points" wins the Election!

Roles

Politicians:
1. Hillary Clinton (Democrat)
2. Barack Obama (Democrat)
3. John Edwards (Democrat)
4. Mitt Romney (Republican)
5. Rudy Giuliani (Republican)
6. Fred Thompson (Republican)

Non-Politicians:
7. Nosy Reporter
8. Minority Voter
9. Sleaze Merchant
10. Campaign Consultant
11. ***secret role***

The Nosy Reporter is essentially this game's Detective. Each night he chooses a Politician to follow and gets the scoop on what that Politician that night. If he catches the Politician doing something dirty then he is encouraged to reveal. The Nosy Reporter wins (along with the President) if he plays a significant role in the Election, and also if he survives with his career intact (i.e. not discredited).

The Minority Voter has no powers, but if a Politican discredits them it backfires and they are labelled as racist. A Minority Voter wins (along with the President) if the guy who discredits him loses.

The Sleaze Merchant works along with one Politician of his choice. He can identify roles of Non-Politicians and point them out to the Politician, thereby aiding in the selective process of who to discredit in Stage 2. He must align with a politician by the second night phase. I must receive confirmation from both the Sleaze Merchant and the politician he aligns with. The Sleaze Merchant wins if the Politician he is aligned with wins.

The Campaign Consultant's role is similar to the Sleaze Merchant. He aligns with one Politician of his choice and blocks any hostile night action. If it is an attempt at discrediting him during Stage One, the Campaign Consultant will make it backfire and the person doing the discrediting will drop out of the race instead. He must align with a politician by the second night phase. I must receive confirmation from both the Campaign Consultant and the politician he aligns with. The Campaign Consultant wins if the Politician he is aligned with wins.

The secret role's powers and goals are secret.

Rules

- 11 players.

- PMing between Politicians is encouraged. There will be no PMing taking place between non-Politicians and Politicians, or between non-Politicians and other non-Politicians unless it is between the Sleaze Merchant/Campaign Consultant and their allied Politician.

- Everyone knows who is playing which Politician. Nobody knows who is playing which Non-Politician.

- Everyone is allowed to vote in every round, even if you have been discredited.

- Please ask questions if you are confused. This all sounds good in my head but you guys might not know what the :daisy: I'm talking about here. Thanks!

Gah! This game looks fun, I'm too late! :shame:


Your going to get it in the neck:blank2:Strike, what are you doing here? You're not playing. Did you write an algorythm that checks the .org for 'Texas' or something? :smash:

But I'll leave you all to it now and return to my own game. Oh:

I'll keep you in mind if someone becomes inactive.

Though, naturally as Edwards, I feel I am the one most people would hate. Therefore I reckon I'm-a-dying tonight.

[Warmaster Horus]

The end of night is nigh, perhaps?

I'm wondering gets out first. Afterall that will be the less like politician, pity only Ichigo is an American

No idea

[seireikhaan]

Methinks Stig has gotten to the point where he no longer thinks coherently unless he's had booze.

[GeneralHankerchief]

I'm still waiting for some PMs.

Anyways, we're at a tie regarding who gets discredited so I couldn't end the night phase even if I wanted to.

[sapi]

Night phase sapi...
Again :wall: :laugh4:

Ah, well, now we know who got my night phase vote. Meh ~:)

January 2008

With the Iowa Caucuses and New Hampshire primaries looming, the candidates are jockeying for any advantage they can press. Their staffs are pushed to the limit and as a result several... facts... that would normally be covered up are not dealt with.

In Des Moines, Iowa's capital, the Hillary Clinton campaign is occupying almost all of the rooms in one of the town's hotels. Reporters are camped out of there 24/7. Eventually one sight catches their eye - a large, masculine woman entering the building and her profile turning up in Hillary's window. The two appear to be making out. Several minutes later, the woman emerges from the hotel. She gives her name as "Bertha" to the reporters and details the entire juicy story of her and Hillary's steamy, forbidden relationship. Apparently, it has been going on for years.

The Clinton campaign denies everything but the public outcry is too great. Media outlets across the nation report on the "Bertha Incident" and Hillary finishes well behind Obama and Edwards in the Iowa Caucuses. Her campaign, for all practical purposes, is over.

Democrats:
Barack Obama (sapi)
John Edwards (CountArach)
Hillary Clinton (Ichigo)

Republicans:
Rudy Giuliani (Stig)
Mitt Romney (Caius Flaminius)
Fred Thompson (greaterkhaan)

Non-Politicians:
pevergreen
Omanes Alexandrapolites
Warmaster Horus

~~~~~~~~~~

To everybody, Politicians and non-Politicians, now is the time to vote for who you think is responsible for the terrible slandering of the Clinton campaign. Just to clarify, you are voting for somebody you want out of the race.

Ichigo, you can vote too.

Voting will last probably 36 hours, beginning now.

[Csargo]

Screw this game.

[CountArach]

lol? Is it because you are Hillary? :wink:

Anyway, I vote Mitt Romney (Stig). His Healthcare system is unworkable!

Vote: Stig

[Csargo]

Vote: Stig

I didn't have internet access to send in my PM. It was the 4th of July. :no:

[Warmaster Horus]

Uh, CA, Stig is Rudy Giuliani. He is also the source of Ichigo's troubles.

Vote:Stig

You see, I am the Nosy Reporter. This night, while snooping around Rudy Giuliani's offices (Stig's), I saw that his staff was busy "setting Hillary up with the ugliest they could find".

[seireikhaan]

Vote: Rudy Guliani.

That was a dirty, dirty move, Rudy!:thumbsdown: Shame on you.:whip:

[sapi]

Vote: Stig (Guliani)

Shame on you for touching a democrat.

[CountArach]

My bad. I will leave my vote to destroy Guliani. The fewer filthy Republicans in this world, the better.

[Warmaster Horus]

Tally:

Stig (Rudy Giuliani) 4: (CA, WH, gk, sapi).

[Stig]

Hey, why would we even believe you're the Nosy Reporter?

Why aren't you working for some other politician?

[Warmaster Horus]

It's the first round. So, I present evidence of an evil person (you) and people follow. They've got nothing else to go on. And the real nosy reporter didn't say anything yet.

Why I'm not working for another politician? What do you mean by that?

[pevergreen]

I am very creditable, the more people besides me get discredited, the better i get :grin:

No vote yet.

[Stig]

Well I happen to have voted Mitt Romney so that I would lose the other republicans as soon as possible. Afterall, for the final voting we need to end up with a republican and a democrat, the sooner both my rivals are out the better.

So either you lie or I lie, and I don't lie.

Thus, if I were a democrat now I would simply vote the other democrat, that would make sure I would be safe, no

[Crazed Rabbit]

vote: John Edwards/CountArach

Because I like him even less than Obama.

CR

[Stig]

WM isn't even answering to my accusations, what are you hiding m8?

[Warmaster Horus]

Well, what do you mean by "voted Mitt Romney"?

[Caius]

You see, I am the Nosy Reporter. This night, while snooping around Rudy Giuliani's offices (Stig's), I saw that his staff was busy "setting Hillary up with the ugliest they could find".

Can we see evidence of that?

[Warmaster Horus]

Are we allowed to quote PMs? Because otherwise I can't prove anything.

[GeneralHankerchief]

I'm gonna say "no" on this.

This goes for everyone btw.

[Warmaster Horus]

Dang. But that was predictable.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Voting over.

[GeneralHankerchief]

February, 2008

It is the day of the noted New Hampshire primaries, the first real "open primary" in the nation. The results of this election will decide much and either give a candidate momentum, or rob him of it.

The results of the Democratic primary are inconclusive with both John Edwards and Barack Obama scoring delegates and declaring victory. However, it appears that the Republican battle for the nomination has been narrowed down. With a potentially true leak coming out about his involvement in the "Bertha Incident," Rudy Giuliani received much less votes than he was expecting. He has now received the label of the "Dirty Candidate" and widely distrusted by the voters. His campaign is over.

Night phase has begun.

A reminder: I need all "alignment" PMs by the end of the phase. Remember I need them both from the Campaign Consultant/Sleaze Merchant *and* their aligned politician.

[Stig]

Well, what do you mean by "voted Mitt Romney"?
At night we politicians vote for someone to leave. I voted a republican to be left as the only republican in the race.

[Warmaster Horus]

Well, I'm sure I'm not lying, and you, as a politician, would have no qualms about it - after all, you do it for a living.

Okay, joking aside, I trust the contents of what I received more than what you say. So, unless I made a most dreadful mistake, or unless GH made a mistake (which would surprise me), you are lying.

[GeneralHankerchief]

I'm waiting for one PM. You know who you are.

If I don't get it by tomorrow afternoon GMT you will be replaced. Louis, are you still watching the thread?

[GeneralHankerchief]

February, 2008

On the eve of Super Duper Tuesday, a shocking piece of information makes its rounds in the blogosphere and eventually progresses to CNN, Fox News, and the like.

What all the blogs and TV clips share in common is one Youtube video, posted the prior day, of Fred Thompson publicly strangling a baby at an event in California. As expected, there is a general outrage among this clip. The Thompson campaign has put out an official statement:

"Mr. Thompson regrets having to resort to such a terrible measure. However, the baby in question was in fact biting Mr. Thompson in the hand very hard and he was starting to lose circulation. It was the only way to get the youngster off."

Nobody buys it, and it seems as if Thompson is out of the race.

March, 2008

John Edwards makes the inevitable Obama/Osama joke. Fed-up voters go to the polls and vote for Obama in droves. A dispirited Edwards comes in second for the nomination again and (again) can only hope that he will be selected to be the Vice-President.

Stage 2 (and night phase) has begun. Politicians, it's time to discredit the non-voters. The 2008 election will be between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama.

[CountArach]

Can I send in a PM, or am I "dead"?

[GeneralHankerchief]

Only the two politicians still remaining can send PMs.

[Caius]

Only the two politicians still remaining can send PMs.
Can you explain that?

I dont understand 'discredit the non-voters'

[GeneralHankerchief]

Each non-voter has a role.

All you are to do is tell me the username of the person you want to "discredit" and they will no longer have any powers.

[pevergreen]

Blatantly throwing my support out there for Mitt Romney (Caius Flaminius)
Go Son!

[GeneralHankerchief]

May, 2008

Extra, extra! Read all about it! Barack Obama is a filthy hypocrite!

During a speech in his home state of Illinois yesterday, the Democratic nominee for president was recently caught making slanderous and obviously discriminatory remarks against a minority group!

The remarks in question came when the Senator was making a comment about his rival, Mitt Romney. "As far as my esteemed opponent, I trust him and his economic policies about as far as I could toss a midget."

A man known only as pevergreen, who was at the event, spoke with reporters afterwards and displayed his outrage. "First of all," he said, "we prefer to be called 'little people.' You'd think with Obama being a Democrat and all he'd be up-to-date on politically correct euphamisms but obviously that is not the case."

The little person went on to say how he was "shocked" and "outraged" over how Mr. Obama, himself being a minority, "could treat a fellow minority that way." Most of the media agrees.

July, 2008

In the final financial quarter before the election, Obama has the clear financial lead. This will help him blanket the airwaves before the vote and gives him somewhat of an advantage.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Obama receives one "point."

Final night phase has begun. Politicians, please "discredit" one more non-voter. Active non-voters, PM me if needed.

[GeneralHankerchief]

October, 2008

It is the final two weeks of the long campaign. The media has long given up the pursuit of any other stories, instead covering the race 24/7. As a result, things start to get weird. A minor scandal was caused during an interview of Mitt Romney's 2nd-grade substitute teacher when she said that Mitt "took an especially long time in the bathroom." The Obama campaign immediately responded with a slew of negative ads, including the famous "Do we really want our president in the bathroom during a terrorist attack?" ad.

People are, naturally, getting sick of the campaign. NBC took particular heat during one of their commercial breaks between the show "Heroes" when the entire break was filled by political messages. Of course, the newspapers and blogs are oblivious to the growing unease and mudslinging; they still editorialize and contribute to the mess.

Finally, one day in October, the Mayor of New York, Michael Bloomberg, calls for a press conference and makes an announcement.

"Good people of America," he begins, "I officially declare my candidacy in the 2008 election as a third-party candidate. Frankly, all this backstabbing and mudslinging is not good for the health of our country. We need cooperation from our leaders, not partisanship. I hereby base my candidacy on unity between politicians."

Well, of course, there was an immediate uproar. The Romney and Obama campaigns, focused for the past months on totally undermining the other, suddenly found a new enemy, one they were unprepared to discredit. The Obama campaign was particularly distressed seeing as Bloomberg's $1 billion war chest completely erased the financial advantage they had built.

It is Election Day, and with the polls open the outcome is very much in doubt.

Vote: Bloomberg for a new view on international relations, with less foolishly planned out attacks! No longer will it take years for military lessons to sink in!

Vote: Bloomberg because he respects all people, no matter how short they may be, or how long they take in the bathroom!

Vote: Bloomberg to elect the man who reformed public education and made it work for the children, not the teacher's unions, in New York City!

Vote: Bloomberg to usher in a new era of American prosperity and freedom!

November, 2008

It's the day after Election Day. The world waits with bated breath. At 3:00 AM the election is called... for Democrat Barack Obama.

Immediately the complaints begin. Midgets Little people cry foul. The Bloomberg campaign brings force the serious accusation that a group of Australians committed voter fraud and illegally swung the election in Obama's favor. Nevertheless, the results stand and America elects its first black president.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Democrats:
Barack Obama (sapi) - President of the United States
John Edwards (CountArach)
Hillary Clinton (Ichigo)

Republicans:
Mitt Romney (Caius Flaminius) - runner-up
Fred Thompson (greaterkhaan)
Rudy Giuliani (Stig)

Independent candidate:
Michael Bloomberg (Crazed Rabbit) - runner-up

Non-Politicians:
pevergreen - minority voter
Omanes Alexandrapolites - Campaign Consultant of Obama
Warmaster Horus - nosy reporter
Xdeathfire - Sleaze Merchant of Edwards

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Winners are sapi and Omanes. :applause:

This was an interesting game. I would have liked a bit more activity but can't really do anything about that. I'm glad the secret role (Rabbit) got as far as he did but honestly I was expecting a Bloomberg victory. I think that Rabbit is correct in his assumptions that if there were more Americans playing he would have won.

Good game everybody. :bow:

[Warmaster Horus]

Good game GH. Nice idea, especially.

How true.

[Caius]

I love the help my campaign friends gave to me.

[Omanes Alexandrapolites]

Great game GH! Thankyou for hosting!

[Crazed Rabbit]

So the final vote was 3-1-1? Gah, lousy non voting peoples.

*sighs*

Oh well, I really detest Bloomberg. I guess I'll just take my wealth, buy Washington state, and turn it into a libertarian haven.

Heehee, sending basically the same PM to the two candidates helped. I'll point out I didn't lie at all in that PM.

[CountArach]

The plan for me was to keep Stig around and to have him and myself as the final two candidates, but I guess everyone's hatred of John Edwards sort of paid off...

[sapi]

Good game to all :bow:

And sorry to the two other democratic candidates, both of whom I discredited. You would have done the same, and all's fair in love, war and politics :grin:

[pevergreen]

Aggh so close. I needed the person who discredited me to lose! BLAST!

:laugh4:

Good game, was an interesting twist on mafia.

[Caius]

I was the mormon. I selected who was out of the race.
