Time : Shortly after the Culture Festival, Freshman Year
The heat of summer was still in full effect, despite the very clear signs on the calendar that fall was to be in full swing. Still, every day i mindlessly walked my way to the Literature Clubroom. Why you ask? I have no interest in writing or reading i can assure you of that. It is either because i fear the vengeance of a teenage-god, or i simply enjoy the lovely costumed Mikuru, i arrive every day.
*knock, knock* Um..Come in....
I carefully open the door. Far too many times i have seen sights i should not have seen from lack of caution. Or maybe it was because of someone else’s lack of tact. Regardless, i peered into the room as I entered. There before me was my vision of perfection. She was in a Nurse outfit today. Not my favorite, but Mikuru made any costume seem like the clothes of an angel. I sat down in my usual chair as she brought me some scalding hot tea. Only her tea on this hot day would taste so refreshing and sweet. I turned to my other male captive, Koizumi, to suggest a game of chess when the door flew open. A signal i was far too used to.
“I have a fun new game to play with the SOS Brigade! Mafia! You have to find out who among you is the evil killing mafia before they all die. We shall play this at once!”
Not even a hello, how are you from her. I often wonder if she knows the words.
How do you play mafia? - i foolishly asked.
“I don’t really know, you can find out right?”
Just like i conjured up a movie from that footage right?, i muttered to myself.
“huh?” Haruhi sigh’d?
“I’ve heard there is a machine on the internet for starters to play a game. So find it Kyon and lets get killing! We begin the day after this. Dismissed!” Haruhi proclamed as she left the clubroom with her usual slam of the door behind her.
I spent the day tracking down this mythical magic box of mafia. It was quite simple actually, imput 12 email address’ into it and it would create a game based on simple paramaters. I chose simple, which to my understanding, would contain 3 mafia, 3 power town roles and 6 vanilla roles. I input all the infomation i had and that i could obtain but i was still 3 players short. Luckily you could also ask random people across the internet to join, so i said go.
The next day, with as much effort as a war machine, Haruhi suspended club gatherings until the game had completed. We were to instead head home and play the game from our personal computers.
Lynch Mechanic
1. Votes should be bolded for them to apply in the game. E.g. Vote: Dagger
2. Unvotes should be bolded for them to apply in the game. E.g. Unvote: Dagger
3. You may Vote: No Lynch to end the current Day phase without lynching a player.
4. Unvoting a player first before voting another player is HIGHLY suggested, to make the votecounts easier on myself.
5. Lynch will occur with a simple majority of votes. This is irreversible.
6. If a deadline is set, lynch will occur on the player with the highest number of votes at the deadline. If there is a tie, no lynch will be the result.
Game Basics :
The game goes from Day to Night when a lynch is reached or a deadline is reached. The night goes to day after all actions are submitted, but no later than 4 days after the end of Day. Please be prompt with ALL night actions out of respect for your fellow players.
Other Rules :
1. Ask questions to me in PM only, unless it relates to the votecount. Ask any and all questions you have, i will answer what i can.
2. Flaming, trolling and attacking other players excessively can result in your forced replacement. Please be civil and abide by the rules of this forum when playing this game.
3. Discussion about role pm's structure, wording, or spelling of the pm is STRICTLY FORBIDDEN. My mistakes are not tools for finding scum, if i made any.
4. Use of out-of-game behavior such as stalking threw forum software or PM's or similar is banned. If i catch you engaging in such behavior, i will replace you without delay.
5. All PM's to me must have Basic 66 Mafia and the current phase of the game, such as day 1 or night 2 in the title. I get a lot of PMs as a global, i do not want to lose your pm because it was not titled properly.
Read these, for this is your only Warning :
1. Do not communicate, discuss, or even hint about this game with each other or with people outside of this game at all, unless your role explicitly gives you permission. This applies even when you are dead, unless permitted by me. I am the only person you can speak to.
2. Direct quoting or minor paraphrasing of your role PM or any PM at all from me is expressively forbidden. The same threat holds if you ask other players to do the same.
3. Modifying or deleting your posts in the game thread is expressively forbidden.
4. Posting in the game thread during the Night phase is expressively forbidden.
5. If you are dead, posting in the game thread is expressively forbidden. I will tolerate a “Bah” post on the condition there is no relevant information being conveyed to the living players, explicitly or implicitly.
6. Inform the game thread or me if you will be unavailable for more than a 72-hour period. No activity for the same period of time without prior notice will result in a prod being sent. Failure to respond to the prod is not optional.
7. Cryto-claiming and its variants are expressively forbidden.
8. Outing or revealing your scum mates, whether faked or otherwise, is expressively forbidden.
Also, always remember to try not flavor game. This flavor features many characters with god-like powers, but that means nothing as far as the setup. Enjoy!

Day 1
It was all a tad weird for us not gathering at the clubroom. Maybe i can use this time to catchup on my studies and relax. Somehow, i hardly think that will happen, nothing is simple when the SOS Brigade is involved. A quick check of my email gave me all the information i needed to begin. Might as well get this over quick, right?
The game is not being dumbed down. Control is doing fine; Draw-Go is not the only kind of control. Aggro is doing fine; Red Deck Wins is not the only kind of aggro. Creature combat is an important core concept and belongs in every color. Mythic rarity is not destroying the game. People whine too much for no good reason. Magic is more popular than ever, so keep calm, brew some decks and play some damn cards.
Why are you bored, Drey?
If we're quicklynching someone, it should be Misting for outing hinself.
I have my eye on Nyxu too, highest poster by far, could be covering for lurking scumbuddies. Could be cop. We don't know yet.
Alternatively, Bebo, Lord Mcdonalds, and popsucker lurking scumteam?
I just couldn't bring myself to sit through it. It's frankly just not my type of show. (That, and neckbearded socially awkward penguin friend kinda ruined most of the story/characters).
On the topic of the actual game- anyone else feel like DJ really wants us out of RVS?

So, let's look at this a little more closely, in particular
could be [scummy]. Could be cop.
Why such a strong dichotomy off of so little? The fact of the matter is those last three words make me worry that I'll not see the 'morrow due to an NK.

He lived a short, yet fulfilling life...
May his sacrifice not be in vain. u_u
Aww how cute, someone is taking and rvs post seriously
Except this is very clearly no longer RVS. DJ has on multiple occasions (See Basic 39, this thread) stated he does not like RVS, and has made a clear motion to leave RVS.

I have NO idea what Nek minnit is, whatsoever. That was an RVS post because oh hey, we were in RVS
There was no 'cave' insofar as I saw no use to keeping my vote on Wessel (A baseless, random vote at that, one that serves us no purpose at this juncture. Unless you'd like to turn around and explain why RVS is in fact useful)
And now you make it sound like I'm already dead. A rather aggressive move to make so early in day 1.

You went along far too easily. even passing off the vote with a cute little reason to avoid offending anyone.
I COULD in fact, argue that the RVS is the most important phase of the game.
Without this seemingly random and mundane starting point, there would be no basis for discussion, and thus, the game would be at a standstill with no conversation to start any sort of analysis on.
Furthermore, since there is no basis for discussion, anything that is said during this period comes straight from what the poster is thinking, offering us a rare window of insight into the true thought processes and motives before the game takes over, and roles are assumed once more.
For now, I'd like to see a few more people post. I would rather we not drown our opportunities in a clash of two individuals. This said, I'm still curious why you thought I was either Scum or Cop- rather than Scum or Town.
This post will be short but there will be more to follow.
Hadn't expected this exact reaction but I made a "should I stay or should I go" decision. Either post a pbpa of Joey (felt a little omgus-y)
Or pull back and react to a "got my eye on you" a little more appropriately ( not even a fos ) until another voice chimes in or it gets more concrete. Clearly there's a little of both here.

So, you were suspicious enough of DJ to do a pbpa, but at the same time were not willing to put even a Fos on him? And you don't want to respond to people's points on you until you have more people breathing down you back? In that case, consider me another who wants you talking.

Oh, and Unvote.
My apologies, wrongly worded- DJ didn't FoS me. Despite being quick to analyze me.
I didn't want to respond specifically to DJ's posts until there was more in general, or DJ escalated. Someone else posted, and escalated his suspicion (unofficial) to a full Vote.
Now, Analysis time.
The Smiley Mafia D1 is some pretty fantastic reading- especially with how Joey was pretty adamant that RVS has little to yield. (mind you, he caused an end to RVS both here, and there, rather quickly. For this he has my applause)
Ahh it's been too long, how does I RVS? Vote Misting
First person to use "scum" is definitely one.
No, seriously. Should just give yourself up now.
The first person to use the term is one? And the person to use it thrice in two posts? (see below) Reaching, yes, but remember, according to Joey this is a 'rare window of insight'

Now, here it goes from "RVS" lynch votes for the sake of getting the game going to wanting to quicklynch for nothing more than a non-tell of using the word "Scum"
He lived a short, yet fulfilling life...
May his sacrifice not be in vain. u_u
There was no pressure to remove my vote. Nor was there a cave at all- I'm just as eager to get into the, as you put it, "real content"
Here again is a degree of absolute certainty- that I will be 'sacrificed'. To what end, might I ask? You generally don't 'sacrifice' the wolf you are hunting.
You kill it. This reads as him calling me "Ineffectual" and "Likely to die"
I'm glad you agree with me.
What are your thoughts so far?
Have those 3 said anything so far that you thought was interesting?
Did it work?
I doubt you were ever truly in RVS.
Are you sureee it was an RVS post?
"Nek Minnit"
You say we should talk before voting, and your very next post is an RVS post.
You went along far too easily. even passing off the vote with a cute little reason to avoid offending anyone.
I COULD in fact, argue that the RVS is the most important phase of the game.
Without this seemingly random and mundane starting point, there would be no basis for discussion, and thus, the game would be at a standstill with no conversation to start any sort of analysis on.
Arguing against your own reasoning for the sake of what, exactly?
Furthermore, since there is no basis for discussion, anything that is said during this period comes straight from what the poster is thinking, offering us a rare window of insight into the true thought processes and motives before the game takes over, and roles are assumed once more.
Calling me "Cute" (or my reasonings) is belittling. The fact that my reasoning was arbitrary, random, and very RVS should outright null that post.
Aggressive move? How so?
You make it sound like -I'm- the one killing you.
It does appear to be your wagon. And referring to someone in the past tense is generally a bit of a faux pas
Although Nyxu concentrated on the first two sentences, I'm more interested in the 'We don't know yet', especially the use of 'We'. You know, Deathjoey could be scum trying to use the rhetoric of inclusive-we to seem part of 'us' (the town). But it could also be genuine. I don't know yet. However, what I do know is that this post is no longer RVS.
Unvote pinkfloyd, vote Nyxu.
Your statements are contradicting each other. On the one hand, you say that Deathjoey is basing his 'could be cop' claim off 'so little', but at the same time you think the scum would fall for that so much that they've already decided to NK you? Scummy, unnecessarily overdone statement.
Based on my view of the game state at the time, by DJ's statement I was either Scum or Cop.
Scum Nyx, Town DJ: Lynch Nyx.
[EWP: The following assumes that I am not Lynched.]
Cop Nyx, Scum DJ: He's made the declaration that I'm cop himself, marking me for the NK if no better targets arise.
Cop Nyx, Town DJ: Without a better target presenting itself, killing me
1: Potentially removes Cop.
2: Throws doubt or suspicion on DJ because of his initial suspicion. Potentially outright lynching DJ if I flip cop.
There is absolutely no good reason for someone to guess another is a cop D1. FOS DeathJoey
Trying to mend the downwardly spiralling situation for Nyxu, are you?
Obvious coaching.
And Nyxu, rather than trying to make his own case, prefers to bring more people in to try to get out of the spotlight.
I have a case. See above. If the spotlight is pointed on me so be it.
That said, I'm stumbling over your post a little- is the first half of your post (before voting me) still RVS or are you serious about Mass claim?
I'm not trying to find the cop. I've been CALLED the cop. Trying to find the cop is a terrible horrible idea that shouldn't be done. You know this. I know this.
If you're supposed to be some kind of role model for new players, then I suggest you rethink the accusations you've thrown and the attitude you're taking towards someone who's now 42 posts into this forum. A PBPA of me in this thread amounts to a PBPA of my entire Mafia Career.
I did footwork and read up on the person trying to paint me as scum because I wanted to get a better feeling for what exactly I was dealing with. I found an interesting Mafia game in which RVS and how to leave it was a subject of much discussion, and DJ's opinion was that RVS is generally bad. I confirmed that the pattern hadn't changed. See also: My Analysis, DJ's statement that RVS is wierd and isn't real content. He wagoned me without Voting, FoSing, or linking himself to this save for heaping suspicion on me like it's candy on halloween. Now, somehow, because I went to the trouble of doing actual research and trying to analyze posts in the thread, this is being thrown against me.
I read(past-tense) Vote as I want this person lynched , and FoS as This person is suspicious.. Clearly, the overarching meta on this forum disagrees with me, and not voting on mere suspicion is considered a lynchworthy mistake. I've rectified and will not appear so indecisive in the future. In other news, DJ has proclaimed me suspicious, started a wagon, picked up two, no three votes for said wagon, and been allowed to sit back and watch the fun without getting his hands dirty.

I never said that or meant that... I am no way near most of the frequent mafia players here, I was just saying to Wes before that I have some of the most experience by looking at the player list in THIS game.
And i'm saying that a PBPA this early is so irrelevant it hurts.

Its being thrown against you because its silly
What you are saying is that he acted the same way in rvs as another game. So what? Its rvs and nobody cares about it. What you are doing is grasping at straws.

Well, a vote wouldn't have seen him getting lynched and it would just have provided pressure.
What was the point of going to all that work you did so you can just FoS? So then someone else says "Yeah I agree with you, vote DJ" and then you jump on because its moving.
Hindsight 20/20, you're right; FOS over Vote was a mistake. To be honest I'm trying to balance posting what I'm spotting and posting in a way that doesn't get slapped with OMGUS and ignored.
I second-guessed myself when I wrote the first PBPA because I felt baited. My conclusion was that, had I simply gunned for vote and analysis , OMGUS would be used to counter some of my points.

Do us a favor and cop one of these tonight

I have watched it in prepping for the mafia game.
Highly recommended.
On the topic of the actual game- anyone else feel like DJ really wants us out of RVS?
Second season... not so much. Unless you enjoy watching the same episode 8 times...
Of course I do...
RVS is weird, and just used as a basis for real content.

Or pull back and react to a "got my eye on you" a little more appropriately ( not even a fos ) until another voice chimes in or it gets more concrete. Clearly there's a little of both here.
So, you were suspicious enough of DJ to do a pbpa, but at the same time were not willing to put even a Fos on him? And you don't want to respond to people's points on you until you have more people breathing down you back? In that case, consider me another who wants you talking.
Oh, and Unvote.
My apologies, wrongly worded- DJ didn't FoS me. Despite being quick to analyze me.
I didn't want to respond specifically to DJ's posts until there was more in general, or DJ escalated. Someone else posted, and escalated his suspicion (unofficial) to a full Vote.
Now, Analysis time.
The Smiley Mafia D1 is some pretty fantastic reading- especially with how Joey was pretty adamant that RVS has little to yield. (mind you, he caused an end to RVS both here, and there, rather quickly. For this he has my applause)
The first person to use the term is one? And the person to use it thrice in two posts? (see below) Reaching, yes, but remember, according to Joey this is a 'rare window of insight'
Now, here it goes from "RVS" lynch votes for the sake of getting the game going to wanting to quicklynch for nothing more than a non-tell of using the word "Scum"
Above is the answer I expected- that Joey doesn't like RVS, that the 'real' content of the game comes afterwards.
Ad hom.
There was no pressure to remove my vote. Nor was there a cave at all- I'm just as eager to get into the, as you put it, "real content"
Here again is a degree of absolute certainty- that I will be 'sacrificed'. To what end, might I ask? You generally don't 'sacrifice' the wolf you are hunting.
You kill it. This reads as him calling me "Ineffectual" and "Likely to die"
I doubt you were ever truly in RVS.
Arguing against your own reasoning for the sake of what, exactly?
It does appear to be your wagon. And referring to someone in the past tense is generally a bit of a faux pas
Based on my view of the game state at the time, by DJ's statement I was either Scum or Cop.
Scum Nyx, Town DJ: Lynch Nyx.
[EWP: The following assumes that I am not Lynched.]
Cop Nyx, Scum DJ: He's made the declaration that I'm cop himself, marking me for the NK if no better targets arise.
Cop Nyx, Town DJ: Without a better target presenting itself, killing me
1: Potentially removes Cop.
2: Throws doubt or suspicion on DJ because of his initial suspicion. Potentially outright lynching DJ if I flip cop.
There is absolutely no good reason for someone to guess another is a cop D1.
FOS DeathJoey
I have a case. See above. If the spotlight is pointed on me so be it.
That said, I'm stumbling over your post a little- is the first half of your post (before voting me) still RVS or are you serious about Mass claim?
No
I was making it worse by calling his claims BS.
Yes.
This is a basic and I'm much more experienced than some players in here so I try to help.
Wait.
So you are doing a PBPA of ANOTHER game to try and meta someone when we are 38 posts into a game? And on top of that you only FoS and not vote?
Why? Are you too scared or on the fence to vote someone?
Unvote, vote Nyxu
LOL
Christ sake.
LOL
Vote.
DeathJoey.
I'm not trying to find the cop. I've been CALLED the cop. Trying to find the cop is a terrible horrible idea that shouldn't be done. You know this. I know this.
I still don't like you
LOL
I did footwork and read up on the person trying to paint me as scum because I wanted to get a better feeling for what exactly I was dealing with. I found an interesting Mafia game in which RVS and how to leave it was a subject of much discussion, and DJ's opinion was that RVS is generally bad. I confirmed that the pattern hadn't changed. See also: My Analysis, DJ's statement that RVS is wierd and isn't real content. He wagoned me without Voting, FoSing, or linking himself to this save for heaping suspicion on me like it's candy on halloween. Now, somehow, because I went to the trouble of doing actual research and trying to analyze posts in the thread, this is being thrown against me.
I read(past-tense) Vote as I want this person lynched , and FoS as This person is suspicious.. Clearly, the overarching meta on this forum disagrees with me, and not voting on mere suspicion is considered a lynchworthy mistake. I've rectified and will not appear so indecisive in the future. In other news, DJ has proclaimed me suspicious, started a wagon, picked up two, no three votes for said wagon, and been allowed to sit back and watch the fun without getting his hands dirty.
I never said that or meant that... I am no way near most of the frequent mafia players here, I was just saying to Wes before that I have some of the most experience by looking at the player list in THIS game.
And i'm saying that a PBPA this early is so irrelevant it hurts.
Its being thrown against you because its silly
What you are saying is that he acted the same way in rvs as another game. So what? Its rvs and nobody cares about it. What you are doing is grasping at straws.
Well, a vote wouldn't have seen him getting lynched and it would just have provided pressure.
What was the point of going to all that work you did so you can just FoS? So then someone else says "Yeah I agree with you, vote DJ" and then you jump on because its moving.
Not good.
LOL
LOL
LOL
OMGUS.
You ARE being baited. Stop taking the bait.
Bebo, Lord Mcdonalds, popsucker scumteam still a possibility.
Do us a favor and cop one of these tonight
LOL
/vote deathjoey for being rather annoying.
