It was just another summer at Camp Taconic, hereafter known as Camp Tac(hr)onic due to the campers' nickname, or so it seemed.
For to those people in the know, something terrible had happened. Or well, not really people...but songsheets. You see, the songsheets for each song within the Playhouse were actually living beings, each with their own soul. They had feelings and were really deeply affected by how they were sung by the campers at morning sing.
One morning this summer the songsheets awoke an hour before sing only to find that AMERICAN PIE, BELOVED SONGSHEET, has been torn to shreds! His words will never again this summer be sung at Sing. A CATASTROPHE!
It isn't long before the songs all realized that whoever did this horrible act will probably strike again, and that they couldnt trust humans to figure out which songsheets were the culprits.
No, they'd have to take matters into their own hands.
And so Camp Tac(hr)onic Mafia begins.
Songsheet Still Intact (Current Song in BOLD):
3. AlphaInsidious, "Little Red Boat," MAFIA GODFATHER
Songsheets no longer usable: AMERICAN PIE, BELOVED SONGSHEET, Killed in PREGAME.
12. Atomic Requiem, "I've Just Seen a Face," Mafia Member, LYNCHED on DAY 1.
6. Andelijah, "You've got a Friend", Town Friend, RIPPED IN HALF on NIGHT 1.
1. Seppel- "Sloop John B"- Townie Armed Sheriff, RIPPED IN HALF on DAY 2, PERIOD 1
9. creampuffeater- "Fire and Rain"- Town One-Shot xkiller, RIPPED IN HALF on DAY 2, PERIOD 1 5. Some One- "Rocky Top"- Town Census Taker/Town Cop, LYNCHED on DAY 2
7. Charm Master (REPLACING ZASZ)- "Country Roads"- Town Road Tracker RIPPED IN HALF on NIGHT 2
4. Wuffles II - "Leaving On A Jet Plane" - Mafia Member, LYNCHED on DAY 3
8. Bilbroxain - "Charlie and the MTA" - Town Roleblocker RIPPED IN HALF on NIGHT 3
10. Death’s Vampire - "Danny's Song" - Town Double Voter LYNCHED on DAY 4
2. Cyan - "One Meatball" - Serial Killer, RIPPED IN HALF on NIGHT 4
11. NightArcher - "The Rainbow Connection" - Town Doctor RIPPED IN HALF on NIGHT 4
I love Joboman, Poggy, Niv, and Vezok, because, while they may not be the best players, they still try to win. Having fun is the most important thing to a game, but I've learned that if you don't try to win, then you're ruining everyone else's fun.
The "Current Song" mechanic is the center of this game and is described as follows (note i suck at describing this, so if you have any questions please ask in this thread).
Each day/night cycle will be split up into Four Periods. Each period, a player will be named the current song (hereafter referred to as the "CS"). The CS will be immune to all kills and cannot be lynched. In addition, by becoming the CS, a player may gain access to certain hidden abilites that were not mentioned in their role PM.
Some Roles may only gain new abilities if they are the CS at night; others only if they are CS during the day; some may gain different abilities depending upon whether they're CS during Day or night. Some abilities can only be gained one time, some disappear when the player loses his CS status, etc. etc. etc. Some players may have hinted CS abilities in their Role PM, others may not. DO NOT, DOOOOOO NOT TRY TO GAME ME (THE MOD) ON ROLE PMs REGARDING THE MECHANIC.
Days will last a maximum of 3 REAL LIFE weeks (21 days). Each RL week during a day shall be a period with its own CS. Thus each day can have a maximum of three periods (and thus 3 different players as CS). The night consists of a single Period. Thus as mentioned before, each day/night cycle consists of four periods. A NOTE: No single player can be CS for two consecutive day periods.
So how are CSes chosen? By you, the players, of course! During each period, players should PM my gimmick, GrathkisIsAGod, their vote for the next period's CS. At the end of each period, the person with the most votes for CS will become that period's CS.
A few notes:
1. Votes for Each night Period's CS will be expected to be done during twilight, and a deadline will be set for everyone to send in their votes in the thread.
2. Votes for the first day period CS will be expected to be cast during the Night. If night ends and you haven't voted for the upcoming CS, you're out of luck.
3. Votes for day period CSes will be otherwise handled as described above. If you haven't voted for the upcoming CS and the previous voting period ended, you're out of luck.
4. As said before, no single player can be voted CS for two consecutive periods.
5. In order to have your vote counted for the CS vote, you need to have posted at least 5 times during the last 7 day period.
6. In order to be eligible to be voted as the CS, he or she must have posted at least 7 times during the last 7 day period.
7. You cannot vote for yourself to be CS.
8. IN ORDER TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR CS, YOU MUST MAKE A CS VOTE.
I love Joboman, Poggy, Niv, and Vezok, because, while they may not be the best players, they still try to win. Having fun is the most important thing to a game, but I've learned that if you don't try to win, then you're ruining everyone else's fun.
This is the ONLY period in the game where NO PLAYER IS the CURRENT SONG.
PERIOD 1 will end at 9 PM EST, Tuesday July 7th. By that time each of you is expected to pm grathkisisagod your CS votes as described above. Then when period 2 starts, the first CS will be crowned.
Day 1 will last for 4 periods rather than the usual 3 due to the first period having no CS.
DAY 1 DEADLINE: 7/28, at 9PM EST.
The day has begun! GET GOING YOU FOOLS!

My flavor is I was sucked through a mysterious space-time portal and I'm here to kill all the vampires, and my tracking ability is a combination of my Slayer and Native American skills.
Constantly asking to be the current song isn't going to get you anywhere, I think. Just pretend to be town, like a good scum does, and you might get it..... maybe.

Elect andelijah as current song!
Being town makes it far more difficult to pretend to be town though.
More seriously, I have no problem not getting chosen as the current song so long as the rest of you have no problem with me campaigning for it all game. You can try to kill me night one if it really bothers you though.
Honestly, we're playing in a game with Seppel AND D_V. All we need is tilde and then we could just sit back and let this game devolve into morbid irrationality.
Not to derail our incredibly productive random voting (ps people who haven't checked in yet, do so!) but this discussion about the current song makes me wonder if we want to have some kind of system for electing CS. Being systematic about it might be useful for us.

Eh, having a public record of a secret ballot doesn't strike me as productive. Besides the fact that people can lie, it allows scum to choose between several of the top vote getters (who may also be their buddies) to sway the election. If you just vote for who you think is the most town, they will be less able to manipulate votes.

I KNOW! It would just make the mafia's job of killing the CS just *so* much easier!
The CS of any given period will be announced in the thread. The exact results of the CS vote WILL NOT BE released however (So you won't see who voted for whom, just the winner).

Yeah, I just reviewed the signup thread. I never signed up.
I'll play, but be advised that I'll be v/la until like July 7 starting in a few hours. I might be able to make a post at some point in there if I'm not doing what I'm supposed to be doing.
I'm electing Andelijah for Current Song because he asked first.
@ande - You may as just put that little tag in your sig if you'll be carrying on in such a manner. (Psst...don't anyone tell him that it's because I have sigs turned off by default on my profile...)
Also, I know that I've been out of the game and MTGS in general for a while, but I must say that I'm appalled to see people are still having serious condemning discussions about those who put a 2nd or 3rd RANDOM VOTE on a player in the "post-pre-post" portion of the game.
I'd have thought such an unproductive form of divining scum would have been cast out of the meta by now.

Is it random? Is it really?
I'm just so popular, they had to vote me prom queen.
And I don't think it's productive to "game" such a practice.
Sadly, my mind won't change on this particular issue barring some sort of in-depth analysis of a causation between adding a 2nd/3rd random vote and the likelihood of being scum.

@Ande I will wait for the election to take place to argue with you about how to know who voted what. I have a plan...(Maybe not a good one.... But I have a plan.)

After the fact analysis is fine, although I still think it might be unreliable. Trying to organize things beforehand, however, will cause trouble.
