It's time to find out what happens when people stop being nice...
...and start making out in hot tubs!
Welcome to the Drawn Together house! Here, a cast of stereotypical cartoon characters/reality TV roommates come together to show us just how low humanity can go. This weeks challenge? It appears that a few of the cast members want off the show! The producers have decided to allow them to leave, but only under the condition that they are able to kill of the rest of their cast mates in a little game we call "Mafia."
The Players mystery meat of doom - Captain Hero, Protector of the Innocent Treigit - Ling-Ling, Trading Card Battle Monster
The Dead Players Paranoid - Strawberry Sweetcake death by forking Day 1 Xyre - Spanky Ham, Internet Download head chopped off Night 1 LJustus - Wooldoor Sockbat, Wacky Watchamacallit killed in HS mafia parody Day 2 RandomActs - Clara, Fairytale Princess sent to hell Night 2 Ximbad - Unusually Flexible Girl didn't actually false name claim Day 3 SorryGuy - Live Action Cow bounty was hunted Night 3 bertrand - Toot Braunstein, 20s Sex Symbol killed Blind 2 style by Wolfy Night 3 arimnaes - Foxxy Love, Mystery Solving Musician beaten to death Night 3 Machin Shin - Jew Producer killed in the endgame. jcsuperstar - Xandir, Video Game Adventurerpermanatly killed in the endgame.
The Rules
1. The first rule of Fight Cl-...I mean mafia, is that you never talk about Fi-...er, mafia.
2. Standard rules apply for voting, unvoting, lynching, day, night, yada yada yada...
3. Don't edit or delete your posts. Ever. Further offenses may end in replacement.
4. Don't quote PMs from me. This will get you replaced immediatly.
5. All standard forum rules apply, except that of double posting. However, keep double posting to a minumum. Abuse of this will result in warnings, and eventually replacement.
6. Don't listen to the talking plastic ball. There is no reason to shoot the president.
We will start in Night 0. This is a no-kill night, but all other abilities will work. Confirm via PM and get those night choices in!
EDIT: Hey, folks. I just realized that every game running on this site is currently in Night. Let's get this thing started soon, eh?
EDIT EDIT: Puchik gave up his spot, so he'll be replaced by bertrand.
EDIT EDIT EDIT: Just waiting on one more nightchoice...
P.S. I don't know much about Drawn Together, just what's on Wikipedia. Does anyone here watch the show regularly?
I'm clueless about the show. Just seen some snipets. But from what little I saw, it seems most of the people on it are clueless too! I should fit right in!
I think that a mass claim might be useful, but in all likelyhood it'll just skrew over the town.
vote: jcsuperstar For really good reasons. Really, I swear, ok I'm lying.

How would it be useful, then?
I think mass claiming isn't going to help us, since we don't know for sure what characters are included besides the main eight (some of whom may actually have been left out, to trip us up.) Any ideas, people?
I would venture a guess that we have characters from other cartoons, possibly some others from cartoon network? It said the mafia are discontented characters from the show (Toot, methinks?) but maybe they're being aided by adult swim characters who want to bring the show down.
I just said it might me usefull, feel free to take me literally there
Also isn't drawn together on comety central? Mayhaps south park.

Not posting 6 hours after the thread opens is an obvious scum trait!
BTW, I think it's funny the way mafia changes here. We've have a vote on the mod. We're speculating on the possiblity of characters from other shows. Before day one ends each of us has to vote twice. In fact, I go first. Vote Paranoid, again.
I know MMoD from a few games here, and who doesn't know SorryGuy.
But I'm likely the only one here who knows RandomActs, so "random" vote RandomActs, even if he doesn't know me. For trying to lynch Binky before even letting him make one post all game in Newb 178. Besides, you were scum.
Plus, that username's really asking for it.
Here's the post.
Explaining would require a role claim which wouldn't I'd rather not do unless you really want it. It's not a particularly good role.
"IN LIGHT OF RECENT EVENTS, WE WILL NOW REVEAL A NEW TWIST!"
Bertrand, who is standing in a corner of the house away from anyone else, is suddenly surounded by metal bars that spring up from the ground. He is still able to speak to the rest of you, but his vote has been revoked for the duration of the day.
A flash of lighting strikes from an unseen location and nearly fries Treigit to death.
Not Voting
Xyre, Paranoid, Machin Shin, LJustus, jcsuperstar
With 11 able to vote, it is 6 to lynch.
Mod note: I'm being forgiving, mainly because I don't expect this to be a problem again, and in a game this small, I'd hate to see either side get screwed early because of an untimely modkill. However, realize that I'll be less forgiving in the event of any future violations.
CC was nicer than I expected him to be. If this is anyone's first game, DO NOT change your posts in any way after they have been posted. Double post if you need to clarify something.
I agree that there are likely characters from other shows here. And probably not all of the characters from Drawn Together are here. And possibly some players have no rolename. And probably it will be hard to tell a player's alignment from his/her rolename.
There's usually an unwritten rule about not putting more than one random vote on a player, especially before that player has posted. Treigit has broken that rule. Not saying that necessarily makes him scum, just noting.
Also worth noting: No kills last night, but CC didn't specifically say it was a no-kill night. Perhaps he took after Puzzle and had the mafia only kill on odd nights.

I hope the 'noid posts soon. I want to see another early game feud between him and Treigit, like in French Mafia. FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!!!
his vote has been revoked for the duration of the day.
So, um bertrand, you are unable to vote as part of your role, but the mod just said that your vote has been revoked for the duration of the day. That's not much of a punishment for someone who can't vote in the first place, is it?

But if CropCircles were to do something different to him than he would to us then it is a case of confirmation of information.
JC, did you really not see it was no kill. Seems like it would be a good mafia ploy to do that. =/
Wow, Bertrand! Going back to Newbie 178 my first mafia game ever, and on a different site too! I think I learned a thing or two since then. Hope so, anyway. Since you're sticking up for him after all this time, I'm guessing you were formerly Binky. But I suppose it doesn't matter. I prefer not to metagame. Different game, different name, different roles.
Sorry about the bars, man. But at least you're alive. A good thing, I hope.
@LJustus: He said he can't unvote, not that he can't vote. He stupidly made a random vote, which kinda screwed him there, hence the edit. In response to the edit, his vote no longer counts.
Guys we can speculate about roles all we want, but it's already been said that CC wouldn't make a game that would break from a mass claim, so until we see some people die and get their names, we're gonna be shooting in the dark. That said, any ideas on how to progress?

I agree with both statments in general. Not knowing much about the show, still I would have to think that the setting is for flavor, and won't help us discern alignments. And day 1 almost always turns out to be a crap shoot. I never been in a game with a mass claim at the beginning. I can only surmise that the collective wisdom says this is a bad thing.
With one less vote needed to lynch, it will easier for scum to get a misplaced bandwagon going. Unless, of course, Bertrand is scum. In which case there will be one less to pile on. In any event let me respectfully suggest that we vote with a little more care than typical for a Day 1.
Looking at Bertrand's partial claim (not being able to unvote) - What do you folks make of that? Would such a restiction be more likely for scum or town? My initial reaction is that it makes him look more town-like. But I can be persuaded. Any thoughts?
Well, Bertrand's apparent restriction is as good a place as any to start. LJustus, I assume you're thinking flavor-wise about who could have that restriction? I have a hard time knowing what to think about the way this happened. If he was a townie, he could've come straight out and told us about it, thus no need to appear scummy later for hiding it. It could be that this restriction is to compensate for a power role, in which case it would be best to try to keep it quiet to keep from hanging a sign over his head that says "HEY MAFIA KILL ME", thus the edit when he realized he screwed up. However, nothing says that restricitions and super abilities belong solely to the town. I could easily see this as a balance against a super-powered mafia, in order to make them seem to be wishy-washy by only FOSing, and then seeming to be fixated on a target since they can't unvote. I'm thinking this deserves a FOS Bertrand.

LJustus, care to elaborate? I can see a large number of the cast with this handicap for several reasons...
Not really. I am just going to jot down the restriction and my thoughts about it in my SPREADSHEET OF DOOM. When I have more solid thoughts, I'll be happy to share, but this is simply conjecture based on one small nugget of "information".
Ok, LJustice got me thinking there might be some value in knowing the show. Or at least be familiar with what peeps are talking about. So I checked out the website for the show. Anyone else not familiar with the show may wanna take a peek too.
P.S. I don't know much about Drawn Together, just what's on Wikipedia. Does anyone here watch the show regularly?
Pay more attention when you quote

Here's a question: DT has eight regulars, and CC seems to acknowledge this in the first post. So what are the other four roles?
Perhaps some of the roles are doubled. Or perhaps the extras are nameless scum. But that's a lot of mafia for a game this size. If neither is true, I don't see the point of speculating. There's no way of knowing what characters were imported, nor what they bring to the game.
It's been said already, but we just don't know at this point. All speculation like this tends to do is out townie power roles and that's officially a Bad ThingTM. That said, my two bits are that we don't even know that all 8 of the cast are included. I have a feeling that the only way flavor will help us at all will be near the end, when we have several confirmed townies from which to base our comparison. This is part of what the town used to win French mafia, but they only were able to once they saw that all the dead townies were French, and the dead scum weren't.

They didn't really use the French thing at all. It was more of a 'there can't be anyone else' sort of thing.
I don't agree with the outing townie power roles. With these names and such, I don't really think that we can draw abilities from names. That being said, I don't think it's too wise for us to speculate too much, since we don't want to trick ourselves into thinking something that's not true.
unvote now that some of the random has died down, DESPITE the fact that Paranoid CLEARLY plagiarized me through mis-attributation.
My thoughts on the hot-button issues of the day:
I think the only thing we can assume about the off-show characters (as much as you can assume anything in mafia) is that they are not the entire mafia. A setup of Drawn Together Characters vs. Off Show Characters puts us at 8 town (at most) vs. 4 mafia, which doesn't seems to allow enough room for mislynches. Plus, CC said that the mafia was being orchestrated by disgruntled Drawn Together characters who want off the show. My theory was that we had maybe two disgruntled characters and one off-show character forming the mafia, with the other 6 show characters and 3 others forming the town. As to what the (at least) 4 off-show characters are... I think speculation is useless. Even assuming they're cartoon characters, that limits us to... what? A few tens of thousands of possibilities?
bertrand's restriction seems more likely townie than mafia, but maybe that's just what the role is meant to have us think. Hmmm... let me ponder this while I take a sip from the WIFOM.
I think jcsuperstar's lack of reading was probably not a mafia tell. It was a, "I don't read the setup carefully enough" tell.

"WELL SOME OF US NEED OUR BEAUTY SLEEP."
MMoD turns to bertrand. "I swear I've heard that voice before. Wasn't he in some bad movie we watched the other day?"
"IT'S TIME TO BEGIN THE HUNT FOR SCUM!" the voice screams.
"Yeah, yeah, we'll get to it." replies Xyre, "Just after we watch Cheers."
You sit down for an episode of Cheers. It warms your heart.

"ALRIGHT ALREADY! NOW GET TO LYNCHIN!!"
It is now Day 1. With 12 alive, it's 7 to lynch. Play mafia!

I'm going to have to check about the bit about Adult Swim characters trying to help. I don't remember CC saying stuff about it in the sign-up.

It seems that a mass claim would fail.
