Ostracism - Simple yet challenging game of mafia [Concluded]
Do I see an open slot? If I do, then I proudly present you Ostracism.
For those of you who havn't read my thread on the GAY (:curtain:), this game is basically a traditional game with 16 players, two mafia. Only difference is that players will make a vote in private to represent the ostracism system in Ancient Athens.
In this game, townies will role play as Ancient Athenians. Civilians all capable of changing Athens for the good. But two amongst you will play spy from Sparta and spy from Persia attempting to weaken Athens for their benefit.
As you won't get to use the most useful mafia tactic, to analyze the votes and words of the players (As the players don't even have to talk if they aren't making votes on thread), this game should be very interesting one to figure out.
To prevent players from working out the voters by honestly confessing who voted for who, system called Dumb tally counter will be used.
I will purposely shift one vote to another so it is harder to figure it out.
However this system won't be used in a close vote count.
Simpler version of rules and system
-Set in Ancient Athens
-16 player
-2 mafia, working together (Spartan spy and Persian spy)
-1 kill per night
-All votes on thread is invalid. You must submit your vote on a pm
-You may only make one vote per round. You may not unvote. (For hosts sake, and to accurately portray the ostricism process)
-1 vote randomly picked by random.org will be shifted to another player. This is to prevent tactics which defeats the purpose of this game.
-May not quote pms. May not post screen shots etc.
- Be nice to the host. I'm hosting a large game, and exam week is coming up. I have 5 essays to submit :beam:
I'm looking for 16 brave players to test out this game.

Re: Ostracism- Simple yet challenging game of mafia
Okay this is the current set up. 11 players. 2 mafias not knowing each other, 1 kill each night so mafia A will get to kill on odd nights and mafia B on even nights. Tally will be randomly manupilated by random.org to prevent the obvious way to win. But only by one or two votes and I won't do that on close vote rounds. Upon tie votes, random.org will randomly decide the victim.

Things are going bad in Athens recently.
And what do Athenians do when things are going bad?
OSTRACISM!
You write a name in a piece of pottery, put it in a big pot.
Poor fellow who got most names written will go BANG!! Exiled.
Now how do we find those bad eggs?
Simple. Talk, discuss. Being the smartest in the world, Athenians will never lose a debate.
Those who loses must be the spies..

Re: Ostracism- Simple yet challenging game of mafia
Having read the stories of Homer and other great natives to our land, it strikes me as a general trend in the common classical hero to be quite the barbarian - Spartan, perhaps?

Re: Ostracism- Simple yet challenging game of mafia
Sparta may be our enemies, but they are still civilized greeks. The Persians are the savages. What's the matter Diamondeye? Couldn't bring yourself to call your own people barbarian, Diamondeye the Persian spy?

Re: Ostracism- Simple yet challenging game of mafia
For from Parnassus’ heights, enwreathed with snow,
Gleaming, but now there shone
The oracle that bade us, one and all,
Track the unnamed, unknown one.
For, lo! he wanders through the forest wild,
In caves and over rocks,
As strays the mountain bull,
In dreary loneliness with dreary tread,
Seeking in vain to shun
The words prophetic of the central shrine;
Yet they around him hover, full of life.
-
Re: Ostracism- Simple yet challenging game of mafia
The spies, if they know each other, will likely bandwagon their votes, as there are no repercussions to doing so.
A spread vote by the Athenians means death in this game. Pick a target and crunch.

The spies don't know each other. So, they can't bandwagon their votes.

Don't discount that. Both understand that they have a partner out there wanting to bandwagon votes with them. Subtle communication is possible.
I've played a lot of mini games with a similar setup; they will work together. If we don't take proactive steps to counter that, the game will be over on the second lynch.

I remember a game at TWC where I had a an unknown mafia partner and he subtly left a clue for me to read in the thread and I totally missed it and ended up killing him, so sometimes subtlety can count against you.

Actually, it's pretty clear that Robbiecon is infiltrating this place. He's looking for his "finest robe".
Not sure what kind of roleplaying that is, but it smells of seeking his buddy.

Re: Ostracism- Simple yet challenging game of mafia
Men of Athens in this the darkest of all times we have but one thing to guide us in this task and that is who has shown themselves to be disloyal. In this way I say that the one known as Skooma is suspect he has traveled around the world and I fear he has picked up too many bad habits from the Persian's look at the head piece he wears and say to me is that not Persian.

Important announcement
Feedback wanted.
Currently three players are tied and I expect that is going to happen alot. This round, I will ask the random God to decide, but from next round on wards, I was thinking maybe we could do a revote on those tied players. Or any other suggestion is welcome :bow:

The votes were read up in front of the people.
2 votes

Diamondeye

Captain Blackadder
I-K

So the three men with two votes were brought forward.
The ostricism committee guy Beefy stood up and questioned each of them.
"Robbiecon. Why does the people want you exiled?"
"Supposedly I was wearing a Persian cloth." he answered.
"Is that true Robbiecon?"
"I must say to my fellow Athenians that, that is a total lie. I am born Athenian and will die Athenian!"
Beefy faced the pizzaguy.
"Askthepizzaguy. Why does the people hate you?"
"It is completely foolish. Foreigners! Those foreigners doesn't know about plakous. It must be them! Am I not Athenian if I love my plakous? Well if you ask me, its not! I here by publicly announce my love for plakous. You can even call me asktheplakousguy! So as I was saying...."
Beefy had to stop the rant. He quickly spoke to Diamondeye.
"Diamondeye. Why are you suspected?"
"I have no clue. Guys this is not very polite. This is democracy! If you have any problem then say it out loud... Like a Athenian!"
"Very well" said beefy. "It seems that all three of one denies to be the traitor. However it is our tradition to exile the one chosen by this pottery. We shall ask our goddess Athena to decide."
Beefy ordered the three to stand around him. He closed his eyes and started spinning around. He spinned and spinned until he felt dizzy and pointed.
"Your going to be exiled!!"
Beefy failed to point any one... Well there was a young man called Thermal Mercury standing there. Gazing Beefy in disbelief.
Beefy coughed awkwardly and re pointed at Diamondeye.
"Diamondeye. People of Athens and Goddess Athena chose to exile you! Leave Athens immediately! You may not come back until we say so!"
So Diamondeye left the town. Chased out by the people who he once thought was friends.
.................................................................................................... ...................................
Beefy was reading the votes again. He realized someone completely miscounted the votes.
"What is this?"
"Ugh... Who cares. Whats done is done."
"We have a important role. We must not make any mistakes! Never do it again!"
"Yes yes..."

I don't really think so, but meh. Looked more like a voteswitch to me on first read, but it could be the dumbtally. Beefy said it would not be there on close lynches, so I'm guessing it didn't manipulate the three top votees.

So you're suggesting that the desired result is a more unified Athenian vote?
I haven't played these kinds of games before but just wondering, is creating a "consensus" in thread about the voting, lets say:
DiY: "Alright folks, today we'll all pile our votes on person A"
What you are suggesting?
I mean like currently the votes are spread as -most- people are voting for who they think is their top suspect, without announcing it, yet wouldn't an announced bandwagon target (possibly justified or something but the purpose of beefy's game was to reduce the ability to garner justification by a large margin right?) be easier for the spies to hide in, as long as they aren't the target.
Clarification needed :yes:

In my opinion, the game under these rules is radically different from a traditional mafia game.
The reason is, we do not know who the leading candidate for the lynch is. And, the mafia aren't going to be voting for themselves.
If the vote is close, the odds are quite against the mafia being lynched. And, the mafia need to provide no justification for their votes. That's why no one found me suspect in the first round, yet I still got two votes.
If we do not remove the ability of the spies to manipulate the tally, via bandwagon (and this is one of the few times I would advocate such) then be prepared to lose this game, period. A divided town with no clue what the tally is, is not going to win the game. That's pretty much a fact.
Honestly, how are the mafia going to get lynched with 1 vote on them? Seriously.
-
Re: Ostracism- Simple yet challenging game of mafia
Tally manipulation will be gone when we are down to 6 left.
That is not the spy ability. That is a game system to prevent towns winning easily.
-
Re: Ostracism- Simple yet challenging game of mafia
So that means one of the other two must have been the spy, so we know who to vote for next round and if it is incorrect then go after the other one.

I-K was walking in the dark alley, back home. He saw a man blocking his way.
"Kind sir, would you move out of the way please? I'm trying to go through here" he asked.
Man shook his head and said "Enemy at the hot gates. We must not let them in."
I-K being a historian, guessed that the man was talking about Thermopylae.
"Where is your enemy? This is Athens and I am a fellow Athenian." I-K answered.
"Indeed." said the man. "Indeed you are an Athenian. But you greedy Athenians are the very thing we are afraid of. Athenian will wreck the Greek culture if they're greed. They must be stopped."
I-K figured out that this was the Spartan spy everyone has been talking about. But couldn't do anything to dodge the knife.
.................................................................................................... ..
With I-K found dead in a corner where crimes are uncommon meant someone was afraid of his presence and wanted him out of this world.
One stab at the heart was definitely a work of professional.
Citizens gathered up in the meeting square and started discussing again... Who could be the traitor.

You have to admit, the writeup does imply that it was someone who was concerned with I-K, as well as someone who has a history of Mafia.
Further, that whole "I am not leaving a subtle clue here that I am the spy" post does remind me of some of the things you (used to) do when you were mafia.

Re: Ostracism- Simple yet challenging game of mafia
lol you do realize Robbiecon had 2 votes last phase right? Meaning that another good intentioned greek cast a vote on him along side yours. hintity-hint-hint
Besides, spitefulness is unbecoming of true Athenians such as ourselves. I propose we do something so silly it will just be ignored. I propose we use...the honor system! We come to a consensus on who to vote for by using an in-thread tally of some sort. Person with the most "nominations", receives our votes for Ostracism to our Lord and Master, Beefy. We count the tally after the lynch has occurred to see how many ppl actually followed through, accuse people of not respecting the consensus, vote for them, madness ensues, etc. Of coarse, this will fail mostly because no one will go along with it but hey, at least the idea is out there for you guys to improve upon.

Re: Ostracism- Simple yet challenging game of mafia
Day 2 summery
http://cdn2.iofferphoto.com/img/item...2/909/kuZL.jpg
The pottery was counted. Beefy asked for the vote count and the counter announced the following.
Robbiecon- 3 votes
Skooma- 2 votes
ATPG- 1 votes
Yoyoma- 1 vote
So Robbiecon was the one to go.
Robbiecon smiled sadly and asked for a quick speech.
Beefy showed him the stage. Robbiecon bowed and stood up.
"Fellow Athenians. Well... I'm going to be exiled."
Few laughed.
"I'll be gone to place far far away. But I just want you to know that my heart is always with this beautiful city. And the people who I was raised with."
Few cried.
"Good bye mother Athens! Farewell!"
More cried.
Then Robbiecon walked passed other influential figures and said.
"My Athens is yours. Make her prosperous."
Robbiecon packed his belongings and left the city.
.................................................................................................... ..........................
No one heard about Robbiecon for a long time. But few hundred years later, traveler flipping through the records of Persian library has found Robbiecons name amongst the spies. It seems that Robbiecon was working for the Persian palace.
Athens is definitely going to the right direction.
.................................................................................................... ......................................
Behind the scene, Beefy was shouting again...
"I'll sack you!! I'll sack you!!"
"I swear! I counted correctly!!"
"Well yes you did... But you didn't read correctly!!"
"Again Beefy... One more chance and I'll get it right."
"Please.. I'm counting on you."

Uhhh.... I'm not going to wait, I'd like to put some pressure on Chimpyang. One of the things scums typically do is congratulate when their buddies get destroyed. Such as classical_hero and his private conversation with me regarding the deaths of Renata and Beskar in the CoV game.
Also note the other scum's reactions whenever their own died. They seem to feel compelled to congratulate.
Sorry, Chimpyang. It's a gut decision, and I have no other reason, but no reason to vote for anyone else at this time.

Looks like it's just me and you pizza. Feel free to point out the flaws in my proposed townie strategy.

I thought it as a RP post when I first saw it, but upon seeing it I'm wondering whether its possible that this was an attempt to find his partner. Its possible that keywords were given to the individual spies to try and find each other, and right here, I'm finding the choice of diction (underlined) very odd. A word such as "detected", "spotted" or even "saw"/"chanced upon" or something similar would have been typical, but instead Chimpyang uses the word "spied".
I'm not looking so much at the fact that Robbie was indeed a Persian spy, but rather Chimpyang's odd choice of diction, which could possibly be an attempt to fish for his partner (and indeed the following segment about Persian wares in the Agora) might just truly have been RP, and the real significance was only in the word "spied".
I could be wrong, but this in conjunction with what pizza said leads me to not discard it easily.
Worth a shot.
Edit: If not clear, this was from the first round

I feel fellow Athenians that the one known as Θάνατος as well as ζητεί από την are correct Chimpyang seemed to be fishing for a contact with someone however it could also be that he was a great tracker and found out that Robbicon was persian.

Incorrect; it was day one. There was no time to track anyone. We had only just discovered there were spies in our midst.
I would like Chimpyang to explain his comments. I actually have not voted yet, so my vote is still up for grabs, but unless something changes, it will be on Chimp.

Lets go straight to day 3.
I, on the other hand, had the opposite of the opposite impression.
