Interstellar Ship One - mini mafia game [Concluded]

Setting:

In year 2112 firs interstellar ship was sent to the Alpha Centauri A (Toliman), where earth-like planet was observed in year 2078. Unnofficial name of this ship was 'Einstein's Pride' as it was traveling with a speed close to the speed of light itself. It was estimated that ship wil arrive at Toliman system after 6 years of travel. Due to relativistic effects, it will amount to 9 weeks of on-board time.
The best representatives of United States of Northen Hemisphere were sent on this ship, in the number of ten. Everyone hoped, that they will find alien life on Toliman's planet...

After four weeks of flight, body of ship's captain was found. It seems someone on the board does not want this mission to succeed.

Mechanics:

1. Game for 9 players
2. There are two mafia players: master (who is able to conduct night kill) and apprentice (who will become master after death of previous one)
3. All townies are vanilla, but:
4. Each day, all players not only vote for lynching someone (in traditional vote: Jarema format), but also they vote for roleblocking one player (in jail: Jarema format).
5. Mafia may decide not to kill
6. There will always be exactly 1 player lynched everyday, with exception of day one. No lynch is not a legal vote. In case of ties, I will randomize results. At day one, at least 2 votes are needed to lynch anyone.
7. IF town manages somehow to survive (in higher number than mafia) untill end of flight (start of day 5), town wins
8. If I manage to do that (I must contact someone who can do it for me), anonymous accounts would be used (or is it an overkill for mini mafia? I just want to test how game 'behaves' with anonymous accounts). EDIT: confirmed. Anonymous accounts would be used.
9. There would be no WoGing for non-activity. But please, be active!
10. No private communication, please

I can take care of that for you. When you have completed sign-ups, PM or tag me and I'll assign the anonymous accounts to the entire group.

In and YES to the anons ^^
I know people hate them, but I just fell in love with them since "The Thing" :P

What about intrastellar space eh? :D

I'm in, especially with the anonymous accounts. The Thing was the reason I got into mafia on the org in the first place. Reenk had an amazing game.

Actually...

It isn't really interstellar until you get outside of a solar system.

in·ter·stel·lar
   [in-ter-stel-er]
adjective
Astronomy . situated or occurring between the stars: interstellar dust.


So long as it is between other stars, it is interstellar. Since stars encompass all of known space, all known space is interstellar.

And I could post links and quotes supporting my point of view. It can be either, I don't think there is a definitive definition, but 90% of science fiction or science books I read will use the term interstellar to mean the space between star systems. Probably more a debate for the Frontroom though.

Conventional usage is what most people recognize, and you're right that this is what it conventionally means. But, according to each dictionary I've come across, technically, it encompasses more than just the space outside of star systems, since the space within star systems also meets the same criterion.

A frontroom debate seems excessive, honestly. BACK TO THE GAME!!!

Pedantic pizza doesn't taste very good... :clown:

Yes, and technically getting a pothole fixed is a matter of international politics.

Only a mafioso deals in pedantries. Prevote: ATPG

Not really. If I, on a whim, decided to buy some concrete and pour it into a random pothole, that's not really a political decision, but a personal one.

Do not dance the dance of technical definitions with Pizzaguy in the pale moonlight, which is actually pale starlight.

:dizzy2:

Not necessarily. If a city council in the USA is the entity deliberating, say, then, being on a spheroid, this is politics taking place geographically between nations - Japan and South Africa, for example.

Why are you doing this? It's just plain immoral.

Not entirely sure why you think I would come into a mafia thread where the host is asking people if they want anon accounts and say "no preference" and not want in on the game. :|

I'm a bad dude, Monty. Purely for fun, I lie to random strangers and murder my friends.

Maybe they're not actually dead, but that's still :daisy:ed up right there.

?
I do not know if understand...

I decided to have anonymous accounts, if there is no huge opposition to this idea. As I see there is not, I decide that there WILL be anonymous accounts.

He's saying that he wants in too :P

ah

Sometimes my not-so-good english puts me in situation where I cannot distinguish between literal meaning and other one.

Sorry, but no. The Climb is the last game I will be dealing with for a while.

Wait, English isn't your first language? You certainly fooled me.

I'm on to you.

He's Polish.

Polished what? Polished off a bottle of vodka? Typical Pole...

But the real question is...

Are you a bad enough dude to rescue the President?
