"Splintered Cells" mini-mafia [Concluded]

First, pardon the pun.:beam:

Here's the scoop: I've come down with a cold, and you guys get to help eliminate the virus-infected cells! I don't know if there's a term for this type of mafia, but the format is as follows:

There will be two teams, infected cells (mafia) and healthy cells (town). The game starts with one infected and 6 healthy cells.

Here's how it will flow:
Night 1: The infected cell will choose one healthy cell to infect. This cell will be told that they are infected, but not by whom. Please don't PM directly to the cell you are infecting, or it will greatly upset the balance of the game and I may have to punish you under the IoI (Ire of Iskander).

Day 1: The town will vote for whom they suspect is infected, and the cell with the most votes will by engulfed by a phagocyte.

Night 2: The cell that got infected from the previous night now chooses a healthy cell to infect. This works just like night 1. So, each infected cell only gets to spread the infection once.

Day 2: Just like day 1.

If the newly-infected cell gets lynched the following day, the chain is broken and there can be no further infection. In that case, the mafia can only win by convincing the other cells to not vote for them.

Some advice: Be wary of pointing a FoS, because you might end up being their teammate in a round or two!

Publicly revealing your role is not allowed under any circumstances whatsoever and will result in IoI (this fills the one loophole I found in the game).

I have run a few sample rounds on paper, and I think (hope) that it's balanced. But this is still experimental for me! Please join only if you plan on having fun, no matter which side wins!

One last thing: There are 5 excellent mafia games going on right now. Please be considerate of other hosts and only sign up if you're able to keep up with your other games, too. I don't want to steal participation from other games.:smash:

Sign-up *closed*
CDF
AVSM
AtPG
atheotes
Beskar
TheFlax
Taka

IN :2thumbsup::2thumbsup:

By the way, there won't be a joker in this game :clown:

p.s. CDF, every time I see your name the only thing I can think of is C. diff Yummy.

Hurrah, we will defend our robotic friends once more!

I am infected.

In the mind.

i am in.

Sure, count me in.

Also, Iskander, I would like to know the mechanics, etc of the game after and any issues. It seems to work similar to my parasite same game, in a sense.

Sure, we can compare notes.

TheFlax is in.

ah, biology. in

Sign-ups are now closed, I'll be sending out PMs over the next day or so. As you all know from my last game, weekends are crazy for me. I wanted to get sign-ups done by Friday, and the initial night phase will hopefully start tomorrow. No matter when it begins, the first night phase will end on Monday at 5:30 p.m. PST (I think that's 1:30 a.m. Tuesday GMT).

thanks Iskander, I am happy to know you think of diarrhea whenever you see me :shame:

Not only that, but hand sanitizer can't stop you, and you're only spread by the oral-fecal route:smile:. Unfortunately I'll have to save that for a bacterial-themed game, this one is about virii.

Iskander, you need to take a dose of Pleconaril so that you can save all 6 of us healthy cells :laugh4:

It was a beautiful Saturday morning, and I wasn't thinking of all the beer glasses I was sharing and kisses I had been stealing on Friday night (or the trouble I would be in when the girlfriend finds out). But unbeknownst to me, a little Rhinovirus had also taken part in the previous night's celebration and found its way into my nose.

Infected Cells
1

Healthy Cells
6

Begin Night 1
Since it takes a few days for the rhinovirus to spread (and since weekends can be hectic for me), night 1 will end on Monday at 5:30 PM (aka 1730) PST.

I thought that the FDA rejected Pleconaril?
On the other hand, the IoI works perfectly on virii that cheat. This hasn't been approved by the FDA either, but I'm not afraid to use it. :beam:

One last thing: in the first post, I said no role revealing, which still stands, but obviously you can say "i'm healthy please don't lynch" or some version of that.

End night 1

Iskander woke up sniffling. He was definitely coming down with a cold.

The infection must have been spreading. Time for his leukocytes to spring into action! Question was, which cells to destroy?

Also, Iskander might have done this on purpose, accidently revealed who he might suspect of being a mafia. Like Jolt from the .org sequel.

why do i get the feeling that AVSM was the first infected cell?...............................

Because you'rrrrrrrre parrrrrranoid.

I'm curious as to why you're doing that.

"rrrrrrrrr".

Are you deliberately trying to attract attention and get yourself voted? :inquisitive:

We'rrrrrrrrre nasal cells, arrrrrrren't we?

Why do nasal cells go "rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" ?

Why not? :inquisitive:

Because they don't make a noise? AVSM is probably communicating to his mafia buddy trying to hint at rrrrrrrrrrrrrrr for:

It's the closest to sounding nasal I can type.

unvote, vote: Taka

huh, no lurkers. Vote: atheotes screw progress. My case is simple, atheotes is trying to deflect attention away from himself on to me. Which is not a case at all..... never mind.....

retaliation is it? :inquisitive:

pretty much.....:sweatdrop: plus I don't have anyone else to vote.

unvote, vote: CDF

huh, interesting. well, I just want to say if I was actually Infected I would not have changed my story so easily, I would have picked a side and stuck to it, perhaps just waited until the last minute to cast my vote. I just don't have the time right now to argue my innocence, so that is about it....

unvote, vote: Taka

Active on forum, not on thread.

I think I kept track of all of Pizza's revotes. Two hours 15 minutes to go!

Atheotes, vote for Taka.

any reason other than to have a chance of saving myself ? :beam:

It could tie it up and there don't appear to be any penalties for doing so. Taka is lurking. Why would he be avoiding the discussion so much in a minigame?

though i am not sure what discussion we are having....self preservation wins :laugh4:

unvote, vote:taka

Tie-breakers depend on my mood, thank you very much :2thumbsup:

Someone break the tie!

Unvote; Vote: AskthePizzaGuy

For acting suspicious and scummy.

Please describe why I am scummy, oh most innocent of innocent ones. :laugh4:

Well, I could be blatantly obvious and just say you never actually sound innocent anytime.

However, you was quick to want to defend Atheotos. You might have infected him last night and not want him to die. Thus, you both who you eachother are.

Uh... from what I understand, the game doesn't work that way. The infected one does not know who infected them.

So thanks for clearing yourself of suspicion. Mind voting for Taka?

No, but the infector knows who he infected, right?

You infected Atheotes, so you know he is now the next infecter, if he dies, it would spell the end for the Mafia as they are unable to infect again. So by defending Atheotos like that, you could be subtly saying "Hey Pal, I know its you, lets make sure you stay alive".

So, if I unvoted, voted: atheotes

That would utterly disprove that theory?

Pretty much, yes. Unless you wanted to cut your losses in hopes of winning single-handedly.

I am going to vote for Taka next round, then I am going to vote for Beskar the round after that, followed by TheFlax.

If I deviate from this pattern, you must lynch me because that means I am the infected cell.

What did I do again? Vote for you? Pfff... get a grip. :clown:

If you guys infect me it will be the worst mistake you ever made.

ROFL!

"Hey guys, I am not infected, but don't worry, if did get infected, I will let you know to kill me, so don't worry!"

unvote, vote: Askthepizzaguy

"Hey guys, I'm not infected!"

7 minutes to go.

You are pulling out your WIFOM now and spraying everyone with it.

Yep.

3 minutes.

Hey it's not so bad. Once you're all infected I'll be the only loser.

unvote, vote: atheotes

BAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!! You're right I was the infected cell!!! How did you know???

Voting closed, write-up commencing.

Day 1 Concluded

The cells raised their vesicles to show their votes. Ask the Pizza Guy had to waste a lot of ATP in constantly changing his vote. Finally, it was decided that they were going to do away with atheotes.

Along comes Mr. White Blood Cell!

https://img189.imageshack.us/img189/9232/killzell.jpg

Impressive, huh? Actual scanning electron microscope image.

The other cells snickered and made immature jokes about watching phagocytosis.

Infected
2

Healthy
4

Phagocytosis-ized
atheotes

Begin Night 2! Those of you with night orders, you know who you are, please submit by 17:30 PST tomorrow (23 hours 55 minutes).

This nose is going to be so full of mucus soon.... mwahahaha

Well, I think AskthePizzaGuy is obvious lynch target number 1 then.

:yes:

Why do you think I voted for him all along day 1? I knew he was up to something nefarious, just look at his avatar!

Soon you will all be dead.... ALL BE DEAD!!! MWAHAHAHAA

You first.

NO U!

:no:

It doesn't matter now... you'll never find the cell I'm going to infect next! MWAHAHAHAA
