Steampunk Mafia [Concluded]

I got the idea for this mafia from Riceballtail at mafiascum.net and added / modified it. She deserves a lot of credit for the format of this game.

Welcome to the Professor Vesuvius Von Yaropolk's Steampunk Airship! This year, we are celebrating with a tournament to see who can be the best inventor. However, an informant has stated that three competitors have cheated and tampered with the competition materials! It seems they were intending to defeat the competition by killing them.

Twelve competitors enter the grand workshop, three of them are cheaters, and it's your job to eliminate them!

Rules:

Rounds

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Every round will last 24 hours except weekends. These will consist of one extended round and I will post the deadlines. Be active! If you do not post for 3 days, you will be Steampunk'd.

Out of thread communication.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Do not talk about the game with anyone outside this thread or unless your PM states that you can, and if so, only when it is permitted. Some items have special communication powers (more below)

Game Phases

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

At the start of the competition each inventor will get an inventor kit: each kit contains boxes of spare parts that can be used to create various contraptions (more on that later).

The game consist of two phases. During the day inventors will vote during the day using the standard vote: Yaropolk convention. Please don't forget the colon as I will search for vote posts using this string "vote:". Votes in edited posts won't count. In order to change your vote, you must unvote your first vote. E.G. unvote vote: Yaropolk The person with the most votes will get to test the Fanken-traption that your humble host has cobbled together that day. Things don't go well for the person testing the contraption. The device must be tested no matter what so with a tie host will decide who to use at random. No-lynch is not allowed.

At night, the inventors retire to their respective rooms to work on their inventions during the night. The inventor will pick a box from their invetion kit and work on assembling the spare parts in it into a useful item. You can use a box at night by sending me a PM. E.G. "I will use the contents of the blue box on Yaropolk." Some items will automatically be used on yourself and others require a target.

Odds are that there are devices in each box, unfortunately, you have not been given assembly instructions so you only have 50% chance of your device working. The cheaters have instructions for all their items, and their devices will work 100% of the time. Additionally the cheaters have stolen 2 spare parts from each non-cheater kit, so each kit has 2 items that are duds (will fail).

The kits:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Each kit will be randomly selected to contain the parts for some of the following items:

Toxicide Pistol: Night Kill
Steam-poweredToxin Extractor: Protect (useable only on others)
X-Ray Goggles: Investigation
Heterophonic Audio Alarm: Nobody can enter your room (bulletproof your own room)
Spring-Loaded Photo-camera: Spring outside someone's room to record visitors (watcher)
Rube Goldberg Doorknob: Set up on someone's door - it will take them all night to exit (roleblock)
Robotic Acid Micro-Sprayer: Destroy one item at random from selected target (excludes tonight's item).
Cyclomagneitc Force Field Generator: Jailkeeper
Transistor Radio: Can send PM's at night through host. All other people with Transistor Radios will be able to hear you. (not affected by Alarm/ Doorknob/Jailkeeper)
Telemorphic Transporter: Switch rooms with another person (not affected by Alarm/Doorknob)
Wheel Powered Defibrilator: Revive


All night actions will be resolved in the following order:
Bulletproof room
Switch rooms
Roleblock
Jailkeeper
Protect
Kill
Revive
Investigation
Watcher
Destroy Item
Transistor Radio

Within the same action, PM order gets priority.

There are 12 inventor kits:

Black - Atheotes
Red - Sassaki
Blue - Khazaar
Green - CDF
Yellow - Double A
Purple - Beskar
Brown - Centurion1
Orange - Slashandburn
Gray - Captain Blackadder
White - Pevergreen
Silver - AVSM
Gold - Tratorix

Each kit contains 7 color coded boxes which contain spare parts for one randomly selected item. 3 kits have been randomly selected to be "Cheater kits" which don't have any duds and contain instructions for all items. The other 9 kits have 2 duds, and 50% sucess rate on the remaining 5 items.

ROLES

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Honest inventor: During the day votes for a test subject for one of Prof Von Yaropolk's franken-ventions. During the night uses one the items from his selected invention kit according to the rules above.

Cheater: During the day votes for a test subject for one of Prof Von Yaropolk's franken-ventions. During the night uses one of the items from his selected invention kit according to the rules above and other notes specified in the PM.

Cheaters do not know each other's identities, but they all have a transistor radio to enable communication (by sending a pm to the host with "Transistor Message" in the subject). This message will be forwarded to all other people who have a transistor radio - this includes all cheaters and any inventor using the transistor radio item that night.

Cheaters will be discovered upon lynch.

TOWN WIN CONDITION: You win when the cheaters have been dealt with, and at least one town player remains alive.

SCUM WIN CONDITION: You win when there are no town remaining, or nothing can prevent this from happening.


When you sign up, pick a kit color. You cannot pick a kit color that someone before you already picked.

Signups (12/12):
Sassaki (Red)
CDF (Green)
Atheotes (Black)
Beskar (Puple)
Khazaar (Blue)
Tratorix (Gold)
Slashandburn (Orange)
Centurion1 (Brown)
AVSM (Silver)
Double A (Yellow)
Captain Blackadder (Grey)
Pevergreen (White)

Red.

In :yes:

Pick a color

ahhh sorry, I chose green

black

In - Purple

In -Blue

In. Gold.

I AM IN.:beam: Orange

In, i choose brown

I am in, and I choose silver, to be EXTRA illegible.

I choose yellow, but only if it's school bus yellow.

I am in and grey

Then I guess I am white.

Professor Von Yaropolk gathers the competitors. Velcome to my airship. For tonight please retire to your room and inspect your inventor kit. I vill see you in the morning.

Ze competition is starting, ja? I am sending out the PM's now. Game starts with a night phase. Round will be over at 22:30 EST on Friday (~24 hours from now). For those of you making use of the night communication ability, I will check my inbox once every two hours all day tomorrow.

Clarification - you don't have to pick which items to use from a box. Each box contains all the items necessary for exactly one item (Unless its been sabotaged). Just PM me "Use green box on Yaropolk" for example. Try to guess what the item is from the list of possibilities before you make it. Parts from different boxes cannot be combined.

For radio broadcasts, I will send out exactly what you send me without revealing the broadcaster's identity. If you want to mention your name in the broadcast, go ahead. If you want to lie, go ahead as well. If you want to remain anonymous that is also an option.

Anyone know how to change the thread title to In Play?

Moderator has to do it.

Creator of the thread has about a 10 minute window to change it after creating (fix spelling mistakes etc) or until the first reply.

3 hours left until end of night phase and I have received very few orders. Please let me know if you are having difficulties with the rules or if you need an extension.

What does jailkeeper mean?

Protect + Roleblock all in one.

ahhhhh did not know it was the night phase......

Yeah, I thought the game hadn't started yet, extension would be great.

I am not even sure my night order was correct. It was very confusing.

Ok I will extend until tomorrow morning (10 am EST).

Beskar - your order was just fine.

um did you understand me yaropolk?

Everyone who submitted orders so far has done so correctly.

Round's over, commencing writeups and pms

Professor Von Yaropolk gathers the contestants in the morning and announces that everyone survived! My cameras didnt capture any attempted murder scenes. Oh well, lets get on with the business of the day.

Prof Von Yaropolk points everyone to a large covered device standing in the middle of hall. He unveils a very large contraption with a massive arm. BEHOLD: the lemon juicer of the future! Everyone gasps! How does it work you ask? Very simple, you simply place a large object, oh say 75 kilos or so, on the arm and a lemon on the little platform on the opposite side. Draw back the arm and release it, the large object will be catapulted off my ship and the force of the arm will juice the lemon, dripping it into the collection glass underneath.

Why the catapult you ask? Because I can! Lets vote for who gets to test the catapult! You have just over 24 hours until 1:00 pm EST on Sunday.

My twonky toy didn't work. :sad:

CURSE YOU ORANGE BOX AND YOUR BROKEN CRANKER!!

did it Now? Or could you be lying to us and saying that to cover up for you being the cheater? :inquisitive:


Maybe not, :laugh4:
Vote: abstain, for now at least.

People I think if we worked together we could figure out what each of our boxes has in them and which of them are duds.

what do you all say?

I wish I did, I tried to assemble a Radio, I was was hoping to catch the Mafia out on the first night. Looks like I failed. :sad:

Looks like my chance for glory broke.

wait What was the parts in your radio box?

I think the one I have may be missing a few things and is a dud. :idea2:

also could be useful to see if we have the same types of parts for each invention.

(is this allowed Yaropolk?)

Saskai, what were you doing outside of Beskar's room last night? :inquisitive:

I did not use anything last night.

Vote: Abstain

Trying to use the camera on him, but it didn't work (construction failed).

Did anyone have a successful roleblock? Could explain the lack of kills.

Vote:A very super market

for now

Well he didn't do anything apparently, unless cameras can only take one picture...

I have 2 of the same item, and they have the exact same parts, so unless they're both sabotaged, I can confirm for one.

As soon as I figure out whatever the :daisy: it is.

[Language please - GH]

I also have two of the same items, with the same parts, and I think I have a VERY good Idea what they are. :yes:

I have figured out what pretty much every item I have is except for these last two.... which are the ones I think are missing items. :yes:

You can discuss anything you want as long as its in the thread. And in case it wasn't obvious, all boxes are one-shot only. You cant reuse it the next night.

Ok then,
I think the following is a Rube Goldberg Doorknob
you find a Mouse, some Cheese, a Wheel, a ramp, a Bowling Ball, a Candle, a Wire, a Hook, a Watermellon, a String, some Marbles, several Dominos, and an Anvil.

Its a huge list of a bunch of stuff, sounds like a Goldberg device to me :2thumbsup: I have two of them, both the same stuff. So I think they are both complete.

Yeah, I have that one too, glad we can discuss.

Quote:

---

In the Red box you find a Brass Plate, some Tripwire, a Wooden Box, and some Black Cloth.

---

This is the camera, my attempt to make it failed though. In one of my other boxes I have the same minus the tripwire so I assume that was sabotaged.

Quote:

---

In the White box you find a Plunger, a Bellows, a Steamer, and an empty Glass Vial.

---

This sounds like the doctor device "steam powered toxin extractor", unfortunately someone melted one of the components :whip:

Does anyone know what this is?

Quote:

---

In the Green box you find a Hamster, a Hamster Wheel, Wires, and Brass Plates.

---

It's the only one I can't figure out...

Antennae, a Hand Crank, a Speaker, a Microphone, and a bunch of Wires

My results was the 50% chance of failure due to hand crank breaking.

How did you know Sasaki was outside my room last night?


Edit: Also, just to stop doing a 3rd post. If you get a success/etc, post what the was in the box. The Mafia have the advantage as they have schematics, so they know what they can build, however, we don't, so saying what builds what gives the town an advantage, since the mafia already know.

In the Purple box you find a Mouse, some Cheese, a Wheel, a ramp, a Bowling Ball, a Candle, a Wire, a Hook, a Watermellon, a String, some Marbles, several Dominos, and an Anvil.
Rube Goldberg Doorknob

In the Orange box you find Copper tubbing, Several Lenses, a Needle, a Vial of Green Liquid and a Trigger mechanism
Betting this is the gun thing :yes:


In the White box you find a Brass Plate, a Wooden Box, and some Black Cloth.
yep, sasaki is probably right

In the Silver box you find some Antennae, a Hand Crank, a Microphone, and a bunch of Wires
no Idea


In the Black box you find a Mouse, some Cheese, a Wheel, a ramp, a Bowling Ball, a Candle, a Wire, a Hook, a Watermellon, a String, some Marbles, several Dominos, and an Anvil.

In the Blue box you find a Vial of Green Liquid, a Tiny steam engine, some Cogs and Sprokets, and an Aerator.
this is the robot that destroys one item of someone else.... sorry sasaki.

Because I set up a camera outside your room :sweatdrop:

Here are the correct items necessary for a camera:

Quote:

---

a Brass Plate, some Tripwire, a Wooden Box, and some Black Cloth.

---

This is my double:

Quote:

---

a Length of Wire, a Big Magnet, a Kitten, some Carpeting and Large metal hoops

---

I don't have a single idea to what it is...

Here's my rube goldberg doornob, I thought something was missing, and it turns out someone stole my candle!

And here's my radio, it's exactly like Sasaki's, so if you have these it should work.

Lolwut?

Quote:

---

a Pad, a Map of the Ship, some Cogs, also some Bells and Whistles

---

i am not sure what this is but i used it. Maybe it is a roleblock?

Quote:

---

Cyclomagnetic Force Field Generator

This seems to be quite an honourless end, so I'm just going to edge on over and

Unvote, Vote: Sasaki

vote: AVSM

We were having a conversation here!

Some people... http://www.twcenter.net/forums/image...ns/disgust.gif

(let me explain myself: How could Sasaki be guilty if he failed at an item? And for lack of a semi-decent choice, I vote AVSM!!!)

pevergreen has a radio. He may be a cheater. I used the x-ray glasses.

Vote: pevergreen

I wasn´t aware that you could use your items only once, that would have made a difference for me. I must have overread that part...

Vote:pevergreen who built a radio night 1 ?

I attempted but failed (hand crack broke :sad:) but look at the numbers in the game, 3 people will have working everyturn radios. Since he never even admitted it, in thread, there is a very high chance he is a cheater. (unless you are lying, slash.)

---

So i do the exact same thing as beskar and its scummy, yet he isnt?

:confused:

My radio never worked. :beam: Otherwise, I would be in the same situation as you.

Also the fact the Mafia (all 3) have radios, so it is really taking a gamble. It is the first round afterall and the most successful odds at the moment is looking like you.

Unvote:avsm, vote:pevergreen

Decent odds, and his response is a bit too controlled.

Unvote: abstain, Vote: pevergreen It could be the truth, someone did have an investigation on him. :sweatdrop:

if I am wrong then sorry pevergreen, but it is our best lead.

Unvote, Vote: pevergreen

A just cause.

Centurion what were the parts for this?

I think we should all post up our boxes and see if we can not find out all the inventions. :yes:

:shrug:

---

So you didn't leave your room?

:wall: Now I don't know how many pictures a camera can take!

No, I was trying to use the radio straight away, thinking the Mafia would have used it to contact eachother, so they know they eachother are. If I remember correctly, the Mafia are working together but don't know eachother.

You did find Sasaki peeping-tom at me though. I found it funny that two people check me during round 1 as well. :bounce: I will remember that next-time when I am a Mafia.

Remember what? :tongue2:

And quite honestly I didn't know what I was going to do to you :sweatdrop:

Oh come on, I knew it wouldn't kill you. My guess was it would be the protection thingy or the jailkeeper.

Captain Blackadder and Khazzar are being awfully quiet.

They are both usually quiet, however I know Khazaar has been online during the time frame. I did find AVSm a little susipicious earlier, however, no offense to you pevergreen, please don't take it the wrong way, but you are the most scummiest target in my opinion.

If you are just a townie, you have my sincere apologises, that is all I can offer, Please don't take it personally.

Yup. No one getting killed + mafia have radios + communicating night one = decent chance at mafiosohood.

i roleblocked plus protected pevergreen

Round's over!

The group pushes Pevergreen onto the catapult despite his kicking and screaming. Von Yaropolk pulls the lever, and flings Pevergreen off the airship. Von Yaropolk picks up and drinks the resulting glass of lemonade. Delicious!

You notice that a transistor radio fell out of pevergreen's pocket as he was catapulted. Congratulations, you nailed a cheater. Now off to your rooms to make more devices. Night round will be over at 4 pm est on monday.

Lolwut? We randomly lynched a cheater?

:laugh4:

Crap... i missed voting... i thought the phase was going to last till 1 PM EST...
i was going to vote pever anyway...so no worries.

last night i used the box with "Brass plate, a Tiny Hammer, Tripwire and some Springs." apparently on myself. I got it to work and it is the alarm system. Looks like we can only use it on ourself. No one tripped the alarm in my room.

It wasn't a random voting. it was the work of townies and information pooling. On the plus side, I don't have to apologise to pevergreen. :beam:


---

I will just list my suspects at the moment. Obviously, I know I am innocent, however, I am not proven innocent to you lot, I put myself in the second group.
