Mini Game: Vanilla Game 6 [Concluded]

Yeah, that's right, another one. Sign up if you want. 10 players again hopefully.

Going to be testing out a few new ideas this time around, as with my other games. I will try to make a balanced and enjoyable game, but I cannot guarentee balance.

Rules:
•24 hour days and 24 hour night phases. Phases may be extended if needed and if I require.
•You can contribute after death, can't use private offthread info though, can't PM people, etc.
•You may not post your role PM or quote anything by me, however you may paraphrase
•No screenshots, etc.
•You may talk to players outside the thread.
•You will vote for players you want lynched during the day, using the format, Vote: Visorslash. Votes must be in bold to count. If you wish to unvote, simply: Unvote; Vote: ATPG. You don't need to do a semicolon, I just think it looks nice.
•If you are replaced or WOG killed, please do not post in the thread anymore unless it is an apology. If you are replaced by choice, please don't comment in the game.
•If you think you won't be around during the night phase to give your night action, you can always PM me your night actions in advance.
•Votes that end in a tie, will result in a surprise
•No lynch and Abstain are allowed. THEY ARE THE SAME THING.
•Do not edit your posts. If you want to fix a grammar mistake or fix tags, that's fine, but don't alter your content. If you have another thought, just double post.
•Other stuff may happen. Don't be scared. DEATH MAY NOT BE THE END.
•Also, there is to be no lurking. If you miss three day phases in a row or 4 in total with any reasonable excuse or informing me why you will be WoG'ed. No exceptions.
•Have fun. This is not an option . If you don't think you'll have fun with this game... don't join it. Nor if you feel you won't be able to participate.
•Alignment will be revealed on death.

Players 10/10:
1. Montmorency
2. atheotes
3. Nightbringer
4. SalmonSoil
5. LazyMcCrow
6. Ishmael
7. BSmith
8. Arjos
9. Robbiecon
10. DaveShack

Reserves 1:
1. Chaotix

Now, balance can't be judged on the basis of a single game's outcome.

It's not the same setup. I may retry a similar one to that game someday, but right now I just want to test concepts and ideas for larger games.

I am in.

I'm In

Reminds me of my time in 'Nam.

In Please :2thumbsup:

Game is on temporary hold. Sign up if you want, it won't be on hold for very long.

Hopefully I won't be lynched D1 this time. In please!

Not on my account I hope. Sorry if my post in the sign-up thread implied impatience on my part. I would much rather this proceeded in advance of my game :bow:

in.

In, but cmon a bit of fantasy with the title? :P

It's a running joke considering I never host vanilla mini games. But next time, if it makes you happy. :tongue:

I'll give this a try.

In please.

I'll sign on as reserve if you can't get the full 10 or need a replacement. :bow:

One more player needed.

OK, I have given others enough time to beat me to it. IN, and ready to start. :bow:

Oh.. now I have to design a game. :laugh4:

I'll use an idea I had before, some may remember.

Basically PM me a power, it can be any kind of power you like, but use your judgement please, I won't accept a power that can kill 5 people at night, for example. I will randomise the powers and they will be handed out. I'll balance the mafia and town distribution as well, and maybe throw in a third party. But get to it, remember, be creative!

No, this isn't just because I'm lazy. I really want to see what you guys have to offer in terms of roles.

@SalmonSoil
@Montmorency
@LazyMcCrow
@Ishmael
@DaveShack
@BSmith
@Nightbringer
@atheotes
@Arjos
@robbiecon

Of course if you don't want to do that, that's fine, just say so, and if enough people are against it, I'll choose the roles.

Interesting idea, thinking...

Some really neat suggestions.

Just missing something from @atheotes and @SalmonSoil

Ooh sorry, will cogitate on that for a bit.

All roles made. This will be a very interesting game.

I need to balance, etc. It should start tomorrow.

That was a bitch to balance. I'm not even sure if I did it right, but I am very interested to see how this works.

Randomising roles and sending them out.

Also, if you stated that such and such role was a town/mafia/TP role, do not believe that it is. I choose the alignment of the role, and I have the final say.

I will reveal alignment, not role.

All roles sent out:

Mafia VC: Kill town and TP
Town VC: Kill mafia and TP

Important rules are in the post above, beware, they are a little different!

If you wish for 48 hour days, please say so.

Day starts now and will go for 48 hours anyway.

Love me, love me,

say that you love me.

Timer:

This was a very interesting idea Visor, playing eachother's creations is going to be fun!

Huh, silly little song. Me crush you now.
vote:monty

Continuing my theme of completely random methods to determine who to vote for, 2+1+4 = 7. Therefore, player number 7 is scum.

vote: BSmith

(come on, you can guess what I did - it's an easy one)

Based on the countdown timer?

The invisible hand of the free market has decided that vote: Ishmael is the most efficient allocation of resources.

On a side note are we allowed to post in thread the role we invented?

vote: SalmonSoil for being unluky enough to have posted before me.

Vote: robbiecon

Welcome back mate!

I would tell you what my role contribution was, but unfortunately I have no idea what it is like now.

Know that, depending on precisely how extensively Visor balanced it, it is either a dud or...

:wink:

Vote: No Lynch

You may not reveal the role you suggested to me.

Vote: Monty


[obligatory reason]No lynch sounds like a good way for scum to leave someone else to point the finger at later. [/obligatory reason]

I'm gonna die in your arms tonight;
It'll be something in your role.
I'm gonna die in your arms today;
It'll be some kind of vote.
I should've stayed away,
I should've lurked all Day.

Now i am tempted to vote for you!

What a dreadful role, lynch it, lynch it! XD

vote: abstain

~:grouphug:

Not going to be here at the phase end, and I won't be able to update until 9pmish anyway, which is a better time for me as well.

Phase still ends at appropriate time.

Tally:

Monty: (Nightbringer, DaveShack)
BSmith: (Ishmael
Ishmael: (SalmonSoil
SalmonSoil: (BSmith
Robbiecon: (Arjos
No Lynch: (Montmorency, Atheotes, LazyMcCrow)

But Crow's vote is invalid!

I would appreciate it being counted, though.

Ah true that. It is invalid. I will have to discount it.

Just seeking some clarification Visorslash - when you say no lynch and abstain are the same, do you mean that no lynch votes count as abstain votes, or vice versa? For example, if the tally remained the same today would no lynch occur, or would Montmorency be lynched?

I mean Abstain = No Lynch.

Dammit Crow, it's too late.

If you want my love, don't tell me 'bout tomorrow
Cause I can't wait one more day.
Cold in the night, waiting for a promise;
So all alone I'm hanging on.

Crow-man, don't play this game;
You'll never get my lovin this way.
All this time, you've been livin' for the moment
It works for some, but not for me no.

It's not enough, to tell me you love me.
It's not enough, to tell me that you cried.
It's not enough, to tell me you're sorry.
If you want me dead, then scum you must tell me.
Oh tell me, scum.

Bah. Sorry i forgot to bold. If I was hosting I would not count the vote.

Lynched on D1,
And you're to blame;
You give abstention
A bad name!

(Nothing to do with the guys who actually voted to lynch you :rolleyes:)
But yes - my bad. Can you keep up with the love-based lyrics from beyond the grave?

It was a dark and stormy.. no-one was lynched. That means you get the benefit of no horrifying writeups with dismemberment and disembowelment. How fortunate.

A mysterious aura resonates about everyone for some absurd reason, what could this be?

Players 10/10:
1. Montmorency
2. atheotes
3. Nightbringer
4. SalmonSoil
5. LazyMcCrow
6. Ishmael
7. BSmith
8. Arjos
9. Robbiecon
10. DaveShack

24 hours for night phase, ORDERS IN!

Disappointing, I was excited to watch Montmorency duel No-one to see who got lynched.

The beast's strength waxes; if we do not hurry, there will be nothing on this world that could stop him.

...are you referring to the aura?

DaveShack was thinking about the implications of the massive recession, when his head exploded.

Nightbringer turned, after hearing the sound and wailed in misery, grabbing the nearest sharp object, a knife, and slit his own throat.

The Communist smiled unnaturally as the Aura infected DaveShack's body and rebuilt him.

He groaned and grasped his head, he saw Nightbringer's corpse, not realising his previous attachment to him, and walked off into the distance.

The Communist laughed and walked away.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Summary of events:

DaveShack has been killed.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

He was a LOVER!

Nightbringer has killed himself.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

He was a LOVER!

DaveShack has been revived!

Alive: 9/10
1. Montmorency
2. atheotes
4. SalmonSoil
5. LazyMcCrow
6. Ishmael
7. BSmith
8. Arjos
9. Robbiecon
10. DaveShack

Dead:
3. Nightbringer, committed suicide N1.

Time:

Begin Day 2. REMEMBER TO VOTE FOR 24 OR 48 HOUR DAYS!

vote: DaveShack. Zombie Commies are never a good thing.

24 hour days are fine with me.

Well that was pointless.

Vote: Bsmith

Daveshack is cool.

I didn't need to show my hand there, when I know that atheotes is the Communist. :undecided:

I don't know if Daveshack is 'cool' per se. He is apparently an Ex-Lover. I'd be interested to hear how you 'know' atheotes is the communist.
vote for 24 hour day times is fine.

Vote: No Lynch

Didn't we all learn something about blindly lynching Communists from Capo, hmm? :beam:

In seriousness, the Communist role is apparently somebody who can revive dead people using that 'aura' we saw earlier (yes, I know I'm stating the obvious. Bear with me). It seems somewhat fortuitous that he targeted a person who was nightkilled on N1, which makes me think that his role is a general, very possibly one-shot, ability to revive whoever was killed that night. Whatever the mechanics, I don't see why we want to lynch somebody who has resurrected an almost-confirmed townie. Or have I overlooked something?

unvote; vote atheotes. I’m willing to give Monty the benefit of the doubt, but I too would like to know how you know atheotes is a commie – and for that matter how you know that DaveShack is cool.

I know exactly what he is. Notice that he is the only other person who voted (properly) for No Lynch.

Another No Lynch, and his power will only grow.

If he is not lynched today, he may kill me tonight.

Unless he is town, he is simply too dangerous to be left alive.

Now all of Monty's lyrics make sense...

I assume that a 'lover' is a townie? Otherwise we should pat ourselves on the back for revealing mafia day one

Nightbringer I think from the write up may have been forced to commit suicide. Of course his role may require him to kill himself for some benefit to his team?

It seems like the aura was ready to revive anyone who died that night, although it might be limited to one person. Although the write up seems to imply the Communist role is related to the aura I don't remember Marx promising anyone the powers of necromancy so hmmmm. Possibly the Communist is the third party and his power is necromancy? In which case I don't trust Daveshack, the write up makes him sound like a mindless drone to the third party.

vote: Daveshack

24 hour days are good with me.

Two things give me pause about the DaveShack revival:

1. That it happened on N1 – meaning the reviver needed to be extraordinarily lucky with his pick. Unless it is a “whoever died” mechanic like Ishmael mentioned but that seems off when normally in a mafia game you have to be specific on what your actions are. What if there had been two kills – who would have been revived?
2. DaveShack is no longer is former self. That could mean he is just plain vanilla innocent now, but it doesn’t rule out something more sinister happening. But we do know that something changed with him. Perhaps DaveShack could enlighten us some?

Just know that atheotes will only grow stronger with time. :worried:

But I have no idea why you remaining alive would be preferable at this stage. So we should just blindly follow your instruction? If atheotes is The Communist as you claim then I'd be surprised if he could recruit/ressurect AND kill you. Do you mean a 'No Lynch' will just give him more fodder towards a recruitment VC?

If my 'No Lynch' vote had been emboldened on Day 1 would that have made me a commie? Are you hunting communists? Coz it seems like something the mafia would love us to do. Can't wait to see how atheotes responds anyway.

I have already revealed what I am, in that very post.

If your vote had been bolded, I would consider you one of two suspects.

I know nothing of recruitment, however. When I say he may kill me, I mean "may be able to". I do not know the full extent of his capabilities at this stage.

You dont know anything and yet you follow with a vote?
Vote: BSmith

Nice OMGUS there… It’s called a pressure vote to get you to react to Monty’s claims. So far you haven’t done much to change my mind, but I am willing to. Just give me a reason.

I am still my pro-town self, with my original ability and a slightly more specific personal goal.

No time to properly read back through D1, suffice it to say I was thoroughly confused for a bit. Actually, while writing this I got an idea, which I have not gone back and checked 100%. The lovers role got added after the game started, which I thought was strange. In fact it might have appeared immediately after day ended, which would imply Monty's power was "if lynched, survive and make the first two who voted for you lovers". That probably implies that I was targeted by both the mafia and someone else, who may or may not have been the communist. Great, targeted by 3 powers in one day/night cycle. :shocked2:

The theory that Monty (God of Love) put you and Nightbringer together seems eminently reasonable. I doubt his ability had anything to with any lynching, I imagine that the host decided that there would be no day one lynch. It doesn't clear you of anything however: Monty making you and NB lovers doesn't mean you were both necessarily town. The only person this really clears is Monty IMO, and given that I know I am not the Communist, and that it makes sense that an intelligent player with Communist role would vote probably No Lynch: I am happy to vote: atheotes

Vote: atheotes

His case does make sense, when looking at the voting in D1, but what exactly is Dave now? Both converted by Monty and then by the commie?

24h is fine by me...

since you all seem convinced that i am scum, let me know what the case against me is - something other than Monty saying "I know atheotes is communist" - so that i can respond.

I suppose that you are The Communist - as you show no inclination to deny it - then you aren't scum - by definition. Though by definition you cannot be town either.
If you aren't a third party role with a Victory condition that is mutually exclusive to that of Town - then what are you? Make it good - cause if Monty is right then there is every reason to lynch you now.

What was your action last night?

I'd be more than willing to consider taking my vote off you if you persuade me I should.

Atheotes, the reason I think you should be lynched is the possibility of your immortality.

I threatened you in my first post of the day. Does this allow you the opportunity to kill me?

How much experience do you currently have?

Convince me of your weakness or benignity and I will back down.

I think any details of my role would fall into the category of private info, so I unfortunately can't help out on why I died. Good luck everyone!
