Arkham City: Mini Mafia Game
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJMXFxug0DY
A mini mafia game, with the Dark Knight facing a race against time to catch The Riddler. The role of The Riddler will be a lot more complex than most mafia roles, so pm me when you sign up letting me know whether you wish to be part of Random.org's decision making process. The game will start with a night phase, The Riddler will send me a riddle with clues. This can be as cryptic as he wishes, though The Riddler will need to put the reasoning behind it in with his pm to me and it needs to be within the realms of possibility that it can be solved. Dead will be dead in the game, with no participation afterwards. Normal 24 hour night day phases. No quoting role pms. Living players free to communicate freely outside game thread. Standard org voting rules apply. If I've missed anything, standard org rules apply. If the game goes well I am considering a large game based on the Arkham City/Asylum games.

Arkham City: Mini Mafia Game
Night One
https://i405.photobucket.com/albums/pp139/johnhughthom/Batman-Arkham-City.png
Batman soared through the sky in Arkham City, scanning the ground for criminals attacking the few innocents left in the experimental facility. The police, security and medical personnel not killed by The Joker, Two Face, Penguin or Bane had mostly gone into hiding, but were still under threat from The Riddler. Edward Nigma was still at large in Arkham City, and the Dark Knight knew he couldn't leave without bringing him to justice. He noticed a crowd of thugs gathered around the steps of Two Face's courthouse and glided toward a nearby rooftop to watch. The doors opened and a body, in a green outfit, was thrown out. The doors quickly closed again.
Batman dropped straight into the middle of the crowd, knocking one goon flying into another two and out of the fight. The six thugs remaining rushed at Batman and were swiftly knocked unconscious, with a variety of elbows, punches, knees and headbutts. Walking over the the body a tinny voice suddenly came from a radio clipped to the medic's uniform.
https://i405.photobucket.com/albums/pp139/johnhughthom/The-Riddler.jpg
"Riddle me this, riddle me that. Who's afraid of the big, black bat?
Who's auditioning for the part of the bat in Sheridan's comedy, thinking he's so smart?"
Batman looked toward the door of the courthouse. The Riddler would almost certainly be somewhere else, but one of his goons could give him a clue to the whereabouts.
To be continued in...
That would be Captain Blackadder.
Vote: Captain Blackadder
In the Blackadder III episode 'Amy and Amiability', Blackadder, dressed in a black mask and cape, is asked if he intends to become a highwayman and replies sarcastically "No, I'm auditioning for the part of Arnold the Bat in Sheridan's new comedy."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Brinsley_Sheridan
Now, would that make him innocent or guilty?

Yes, feel free to discuss, speculate, indulge in baseless conjecture, or whatever else you feel will help you win the game.
Interesting catch Visorslash. I'm assuming the riddles can't be (entirely) red herrings, although I know that mini mafia games can have some strange rules. Blackadder, who does your role PM say you are?
Captain Blackadder

Arkham City: Mini Mafia Game
End of Night One
As Batman glanced upwards, the door was an obvious trap, one he could handle he had no doubt, but there was no point in springing a trap when there was an alternate route. He grappled up to a ledge above the main entrance and found a service door, carefully opening it, he crept in and followed the hallway. In the main room a large group of Nigma's goons were waiting for him, clearly expecting him to come from the ground floor. A handily placed wire across the room allowed him to drop right into the middle of the group and disorient them with a smoke pellet. As the smoke cleared a few seconds later the floor was strewn with unconscious bodies, and one unfortunate soul with his throat caught in Batman's grip.
"Where is the medical team?"
"The ch, chu, church"
Batman had solved Riddler's clue, Stacy Baker one of the medical team despatched to the city was to be his next victim, he just had to get there in time. Luckily the church was nearby and he reached it in a few minutes. Entering through the front door, he quickly saw the problem, a blonde haired girl in a green jacket tied to a seat at the organ, with a time bomb sticking out of one of the pipes. It was ticking down, dangerously close to zero.
https://i405.photobucket.com/albums/pp139/johnhughthom/timebomb.jpg
Zooming across the room, Batman reached the organ, "Help me!" whined the girl. The bomb was rudimentary and easily defused, though he had little time and finished with only a second left. He freed the medic, and told her to lock the door and not to let anyone in.

Interesting. So if we guess correctly in the night phase about who the victim is, they don't die, I believe.
*Strokes beard of wisdom*
Or alternatively somebody has the character of Batman which acts as a 'doctor' role, and they decide who to save.
Montmorency
11-30-2011, 21:43
But how could Batman be lynched? :dizzy2:
So was Blackadder saved then, or what?
Captain Blackadder
12-01-2011, 00:32
I was saved I was the answer to the riddle and that was my character in the write up so I survived.
Montmorency
12-01-2011, 02:33
But then the only possible for candidates for the Riddler role are[the only ones with the veteran's knowledge needed to develop such a clue]:
Visorslash, Seon, Double A.
Visor's the one who immediately brought that to our attention and went for CB's throat, so Vote: Visorslash
Recall anyone else who went wild with a seemingly crucial detail from the writeup, guys?
I don't see how experience/veterancy has anything to do with it - surely you would just have to have some knowledge of the show Blackadder?
Montmorency
12-01-2011, 03:15
Very well, so the list cannot be narrowed in that way. However, Visorslash's alacrity in pointing out said clue and voting for Blackadder is what leads me to suspect him.
It seemed fairly reasonable at the time, seeing as we didn't know the mechanics of the riddles yet. I don't think people should be voted for attempting to aid the town, unless it is clear that they are being deliberately misleading. Unfortunately, with that said I don't have any suspects myself.
Montmorency
12-01-2011, 03:27
What I'm saying, is that I pulled a similar trick in The Island just a fortnight ago. :stare:

I just googled sheridan's comedy + bat in google.
Visorslash has the guts enough to pull off a trick like that, if he is tricking us, that is.
That being said, I am hesitant to lynch him yet.
Vote: Ishmael.
I am getting this vibe from you. All I have ever heard from you this game is "I don't know, but..." or "Alternatively it could be..." or "Oh hey! That's a good idea!"
Sure sign of a scum if I ever saw one.
Sure sign of a scum if I ever saw one.
It seems you haven't then :beam:. On a serious note, I think it would be wrong for me to make any strong assertions at this stage, when I have no evidence to back them up.
So now you are wanting evidence in Day 1.
No, I'm saying that lacking evidence on Day 1 any conclusions drawn will inevitably contain some level of uncertainty.
Captain Blackadder
12-01-2011, 06:21
I just googled sheridan's comedy + bat in google.
Yes to find the answer that is all that was required however to make the riddle up required knowledge of the show since it is a fairly obscure reference I love the show obviously and I didn't know that off the top of my head.
So who like's classic English comedies?
GASP IT"S MONTY!
Look! His nickname is even Monty! That means Monty Python! That means English Comedy! Somebody get him!
Vote: Ishmael
Seems to me like he's trying to "fit"...
Damn it! I just had a brilliant theory worked out that conclusively proved CB was the Riddler, only to have it fall apart due to one minor detail.
Also, vote: Arjos. Generic reasoning + no evidence + played in 'The Island' and thus should be used to my (admittedly somewhat scummy) posting style by now.
Captain Black could still be scum.
Of course. My original theory was that he claimed he was his intended target when the clue indicating Stacy Baker came up, but then I realised that the clue was pointing to Captain Blackadder specifically. It could still work if a third party protected whoever Stacy is, but then it would be awfully risky for CB to claim to be her (unless there's another mechanic at play that we aren't aware of).
'The Island' and thus should be used to my (admittedly somewhat scummy) posting style by now.
Tbh all I remember is Visor and Monty pulling our legs XD
Which could very well be the case again :S
Your WIFOM is not making me change my mind...

WHy can't the Riddler target himself? It's a brilliant idea. The town tries to save you, and therefore when they do, and it's not a particularly hard clue either, you look innocent. ANd then you just don't die.....
It's certainly possible for him to be scum.
Vote: No Lynch
Give it a couple more phases in my opinion, let the clues build up.

As Batman searched Arkham City for more clues to The Riddler's location, the medical and security staff in the church were getting restless. They argued back and forth over how best to help Batman save the day. Perhaps it was simply fear clouding their judgement, or perhaps Arkham City had affected them more deeply than they knew, but they decided to work out who amongst them was working for The Riddler, and eliminate them. They couldn't agree on a target, but Eddie Burlow was the man who had more than one accuser.
https://i405.photobucket.com/albums/pp139/johnhughthom/300px-ZEddie_Burlow_02.jpg
"What, me? This is insane!"
"You took part in the vote, you have to abide by the decision."
Ishmael, aka Eddie Burlow, is now dead and may not communicate with living players, or post in thread.
Batman arrived back, looked at the body, then at the huddled survivors with a mixture of disgust and sympathy. Before he could say anything, a tinny voice erupted from the bell tower.
"It's not perfect, yet it's solid. What is it?"
Batman walked back out, without another look at Officer Burlow, or his executioners.
It is now night two.

Merely solving the riddle probably does nothing. I think Batman needs to protect whoever we suspect will be targeted.
The question is... what happens if Batman is targeted?
No.
That was a question of the "I don't know what you're talking about, so I'll post something random that you'll likely say no to and hope you post the actual answer" variety.
So, yeah, what?
Now where did I put that crackpot?
I took it and came up with the same solution XD

That's why I don't think Batman himself is an actual role with an actual player behind it. How could medics lynch Batman? How could the Riddler kill Batman, but somehow be foolish enough to fall to medics?

I employed a sort of misdirection nearly identical to what Visor is (IMO) doing, in the previous large game.

Vicki Vale crept through the seemingly empty streets of Arkham City, Batman had defeated most of the supervillains, but one was still left, and she wanted the scoop. Suddenly a voice, coming from what sounded like a slightly out of tune radio, came from somewhere over her head.

Arkham City: Mini Mafia Game
End of Night Four
"Third time lucky?" thought The Riddler, as he watched his goons creep into the church, through the door his undercover thug had left open. She was dragged through the exit screaming, Riddler was keeping her alive to tease the Bat over his failure.
https://i405.photobucket.com/albums/pp139/johnhughthom/Dr_Stacy_Baker.png
"Help! Batman! Where are you!?"
The undercover thug smiled to himself as Batman returned a few minutes later. His smile faded as he realised something was wrong, why was he not asking about the missing doctor? The thug quietly turned toward the exit.
Swoosh!
"Where do you think you're going?"
The thug shivered, Batman couldn't know, could he?
Like a flash Batman grabbed him by the throat.
"Riddler, where is he?"
https://i405.photobucket.com/albums/pp139/johnhughthom/The-Riddler.jpg
Riddler chuckled to himself, as he imagined Batman's fury at finding another innocent gone. He would play this one out for days, stringing the doctor's agony out to taunt his adversary.
"An head next to the saddle, riding towards my fate"
"I've got your fate right here, Nigma."
Riddler turned in shock to see Batman right behind him. He shouted for his goons, but they were in the land of nod, it was just him and the Bat. Being the smart fellow that he is, he knew it was pointless to fight back, and sunk to his knees in despair, as his nemesis fastened the cuffs.
"You didn't pay attention to the game Nigma. There was only one way you could win, capturing the last innocent was your undoing."
Town win.

Host's notes:
This was an experimental game, and I want to thank Arjos for a great performance as The Riddler that just fell short. You're probably wondering why you lost, check your role pm, you had to get Batman lynched. If Seon was lynched at any time you would have won. The killing of Cpt Blackadder meant it was just you and Batman going in to the final round, and let's face it as a one on one fight it's no contest.
The Riddles were either in the day or night phase, a day phase was a clue to the next victim, a night phase was a clue to Arjos' identity. Seon as Batman had a protect ability, which he used to great effect. He knew if he was lynched at any time it was game over, but he also knew what would happen if he and Riddler were the last two players, he asked for clarification on this, so I'm assuming he knew if he didn't protect Cpt B and Cpt B was attacked, he would get the win.
The only other role with an ability was Double A, he had the ability to scan for Batman, not sure why I put that in to be honest, it would have put the game even more in the town's favour. Had he bothered to use it.
Thanks for playing everybody, and feel free to make an angry post about the cruel role I gave you Arjos. :wink:

Wow, very good then.
Though it's trange that the game setup encourages Batman to allow the other townies to die! :shocked:
I thought Monty was batman :P
Anyway to win I had to lynch him, so couldn't kill him during night no? XD
Had I spared Cpt B, he would've just vote for me...
All in all, this was very fun to play, hoping you can figure out a bigger one ^^
Yeah, I allowed Capt. Blackadder to die at the last round :tongue:
Ahahahahah, I kept on targeting him during the other rounds, because I thought you weren't present and so seeing him protected made me think it was Monty XD
Well done you lurking Batman :P
And thanks for the game JHT ^^
let's face it as a one on one fight it's no contest.
I would've loved a verbal exchange, very Riddler vs Batman like :P
Well, I played this game much the same way I would play a Serial Killer role. If my only weakness was getting lynched, then all I had to do was stay off everyone's radar.
But I had no idea it was you until the very end, Arjos XD.

Really?! You thought it was little old me? >:|
I thought Monty was batman :P
Actually, that would be awesome, if the Batman thought I was the Riddler, and vice versa.
Btw I was asking if this was the final riddle, not because I thought I won, but I was thinking the game ended with the previous phase :D

Forgot about it. If I had used it, I would have scanned Monty and then I would have died. So no big deal I guess.

Didn't you wonder why I asked you to confirm your night orders? Or what I meant by this in the penultimate write up:
Batman and The Riddler both knew tonight could be very interesting, who was actually paying attention to the game they were playing?
:wink:
Though it's trange that the game setup encourages Batman to allow the other townies to die! :shocked:
Yeah, I allowed Capt. Blackadder to die at the last round :tongue:
If you read the write up he didn't actually die, Batman would never do that. :smile:
Yeah, I was puzzled :D
But it said also about Batman leaving the church, I thought he was distracted or gone :P
There was no name for the cop with an hook XD
Anyway it was over then, I'd never had enough votes on Seon :)

Yes there was. :tongue:
Aaron Cash: Monty
Nice work JHT, I've been reading this since the get-go and found it to be a really fun and different game concept, it would be interesting to see how you'd translate it into a wider player base.
Congratulations to Seon and the rest of the town! :bow:

Edward Nigma, you are one of Batman's most cunning adversaries. Each night phase you can select one player to be killed by your minions. You must also leave a clue, in the form of a riddle.

Clues as to the next victim will be posted during the day phase write up, clues as to your indentity will be posted during the night phase write up. All clues must be true.
Victory conditions: Lynch Batman.

You are the caped crusader, and Arkham City's only hope to defeat The Riddler, if you die, he wins. Each night you can defend one player, and you are immune to The Riddler's attacks. You are susceptible to lynching however. If the game comes down to Batman vs The Riddler you will win.
Victory conditions: Survive the game, lynch The Riddler.

And the solution to the clues?
"Riddle me this, riddle me that. Who's afraid of the big, black bat?
Who's auditioning for the part of the bat in Sheridan's comedy, thinking he's so smart?"
Cpt Blackadder as next victim, from a quote from Blackadder the Third. Worked out in thread and Seon protected Cpt B.
"It's not perfect, yet it's solid. What is it?"
Double A as next victim, quality ratings for home electronics.
"Toothbrush & Co? In the end I shot them!"
A clue that Arjos is The Riddler, based on the Vengeance (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?137908-Vengeance-Concluded) game.
"An head next to the saddle, riding towards my fate"
Another clue toward Arjos as The Riddler. An Arjos is a Gallic noble, who tied the heads of those he killed to his horse.
