Greatest Idea Mafia *** Game Over ***

[rezombad]

Hello everyone and welcome to 'Greatest Idea Mafia'. Stolen from the mafiascum wiki, this variably-sized, probably imbalanced, wacky game uses an interesting mechanic for determining roles:

1. Before the game begins, each player will receive 3 cards from a 'deck'. (more about the deck later)
2. Each player will take their 3 cards, and choose a role and alignment based on two of them. for example:

rezombad is dealt the following cards:
Town Vanilla
Werewolf Ninja
Town Bloodhound

He can use cards 1 and 2 to choose: Town Ninja or Werewolf Vanilla
He can use cards 2 and 3 to choose: Werewolf Bloodhound or Town Ninja
He can use cards 1 and 3 to choose: Town Bloodhound or Town Vanilla

2b. if there are not at least 50% town roles, new cards will be sent out and roles will be repicked
3. at the beginning of day 1, each player's unused card will be revealed.


Here's a list of possible factions:
Town
Mafia
Serial Killer
Werewolf
Alien
Survivor
Lyncher
Cult

Here is a link to all role cards with pm's so you can see what they do:
http://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?tit ... ia/RolePMs

The following roles are blacklisted:

Mafia Mason
Werewolf Lover
Mafia Innocent Child
Werewolf Innocent Child
Alien Innocent Child
Serial Killer Innocent Child
Survivor Innocent Child
Cult Innocent Child
Lyncher Innocent Child
Judas Innocent Child
Saulus Innocent Child

A cool breeze recedes into the night as the dawn brings forth an air of perfect silence.

Those remaining wander into the streets towards the crudely constructed gallows in the center of town.

They don't know what's trying to kill them, but they have these cards:


1. Dechs Kaison - Discarded: Mafia Roleblocker
2. Lord_Mcdonalds - Discarded: Alien Mass Redirector
3. Stardust - Discarded: Werewolf vanilla
4. Witchhunt - Discarded: Town Conspiracy Theorist
5. Hamfactorial - Discarded: Town Vanilla
6. rcwraspy - Discarded: Mafia Reflexive Doctor
7. Jamie - Discarded: Town Vanilla
8. Rednihilist - Discarded: Town Conspiracy Theorist
9. imopen2 - Discarded: Alien 1-Shot Unlynchable


It is now Day 1. With 9 players remaining it takes 5 votes to lynch.

[RedNihilist]

Vote Stardust because why not?

[rcwraspy]

vote hamfactorial

[rcwraspy]

ebwop:

vote hamfactorial

(forgot to bold)

[Stardust]

Oh god! Pressure! On me? Already?

Okay, okay, I'll claim! Geez!

So here's the deal. I'm going to full claim in my first post. My three cards were Town Black Goo, Werewolf Vanilla and Town Supersaint.

I chose Town Black Goo. Anyone who targets me will become a member of the Cult.

Why am I telling you this? Because I don't want people to join the cult. I'm also counting on the mafia not wanting to join the cult (why would they when a nightkill is so much more effective), thereby keeping me alive into the endgame. I could have chosen town Supersaint instead, but when was the last time I was actually lynched? I think I'm more valuable to the town alive than dead, even if the act of dying takes down a random player in the process (or more likely I would die to a nightkill, making that ability useless).

Ok, any questions?

[Stardust]

Oh yeah, and

Vote Iso.

[WitchHunt]

Vote: Jamie

Still no idea.

[rcwraspy]

Oh yeah, and

Vote Iso.

Why are you voting Iso?
Do you think RVS is over?
Even after your post directly before this one?

[rcwraspy]

err, second and third questions don't mesh the way I would have liked because of how I phrased them but I think you get the idea. I can clarify if needed.

[Stardust]

I'm voting Iso because it's polite to say hello. Iso's not even in this game, but voting for him used to be my go-to first post back when we played together.

Vote rcwraspy.

If everything you say here is completely true then I like that you posted this. But that's a big if.

Why did you not choose werewolf as your faction?

[Stardust]

I almost did. In fact, I submitted exactly that with the intention of posting exactly what I just did (claiming Town Black Goo and saying my third card was Town Vanilla or something). A few hours later, I edited my PM to strike that out and chose Town Black Goo instead.

I think choosing Werewolf would have worked out okay for me. Everyone knows that I like to play as town, so maybe I'd stand a better chance at winning if everyone believed that. Claiming Black Goo would have kept other anti-town factions (and town vigs) off my ass. Perfect, right? Not quite, because I would have to lie and generally would have enjoyed the game less. I decided that I ultimately would rather just play as Town Bulletproof than pretend to be playing as Town Bulletproof. That is my favourite role, after all.

[rcwraspy]

to others: did anybody else edit a role PM after submitting?

[Mcdonalds]

I'm voting Iso because it's polite to say hello. Iso's not even in this game, but voting for him used to be my go-to first post back when we played together.

Vote rcwraspy.

Pretty sure this qualifies as an omgus

[Mcdonalds]

to others: did anybody else edit a role PM after submitting?

Go on.....

[Mcdonalds]

Ok, any questions?

How many scum/non-town are in this game?

What time is it?

Why is there a wire coat hanger in your closet?

[WitchHunt]

Already off to a pretty interesting start here, such a bold claim right off the bat could go either way couldn't it? I'm not going to weigh into it too much this early on, I just feel like we could go in circles with the mind games the claim starts though.

To Raspy, no I did not edit my message. It was specified that if not enough town were in the game though, new cards would be sent out and roles would be repicked, don't know if that had something to do with it. I only received the one message however, so I don't know if this happened or not.

[rcwraspy]

to others: did anybody else edit a role PM after submitting?

Go on.....

Stardust claims to have done so. I want to know if it's something anybody else did. To know if it's even possible.

[Stardust]

Stardust claims to have done so. I want to know if it's something anybody else did. To know if it's even possible.

Yeah, you didn't know that? As long as it's still sitting in your outbox (not yet read by the recipient) you can edit or delete the message before they receive it. Comes in handy sometimes, though they do get notification that it was edited/deleted.

How many scum/non-town are in this game?

What time is it?

Why is there a wire coat hanger in your closet?

No idea.

1:25 pm.

Because I found them in the dumpster.

[Stardust]

I'm voting Iso because it's polite to say hello. Iso's not even in this game, but voting for him used to be my go-to first post back when we played together.

Vote rcwraspy.

Pretty sure this qualifies as an omgus

And what does that tell you?

[Mcdonalds]

Fuck if I know

[rcwraspy]

I'm voting Iso because it's polite to say hello. Iso's not even in this game, but voting for him used to be my go-to first post back when we played together.

Probably something about my lack of reaction but it's so early out of rvs that I didn't think it necessary.

[Jamie]

vote rcwraspy

For the sake of seeing this reaction.

[Jamie]

do we have a time limit or does the day just end at 5 votes?

[hamfactorial]

Vote Dechs Kaison for being mafia rookie of the year.

I forgot to turn on notifications to this thread, so I missed all of the RVS fun

But now I'm on board, prepare your butts.

[rezombad]

do we have a time limit or does the day just end at 5 votes?

There is currently no deadline.

One may be introduced if you guys aren't posting enough content

[RedNihilist]

Ham and Jamie - you discarded a town card. Why?

[hamfactorial]

I had another town card without vanilla attached to it.

[hamfactorial]

Why did you discard a town card?

[Jamie]

I discarded the duplicate town align to hide which abilities were given out as choices.

[rcwraspy]

vote rcwraspy

For the sake of seeing this reaction.

A reaction would typically be to ask why you're voting me but you already answered that.

Or to argue against it but that hardly seems necessary when so few people have even posted their first post yet.

[Dechs Kaison]

Hey guys. I'm here.

Ham, thanks for the compliment.

[RedNihilist]

I had another town card without vanilla attached to it.

So you picked the role?

Why did you discard a town card?

You don't answer a question with another question.

[Dechs Kaison]

What about if I ask you why did you discard a town card?

There, now you've both been asked.

[Dechs Kaison]

Also,

vote Stardust

because I don't buy it.

[RedNihilist]

I took the role from the only non-Town card I've been delivered, and I don't really get why should anyone be so defensive about that '-'

[Stardust]

Also,

vote Stardust

because I don't buy it.

Why not? What do you think I actually chose? Or do you think I'm taking a chance and lying about what cards I received?

[Dechs Kaison]

It just sounds mighty convenient. "Hey, I'm totally town so you shouldn't lynch me and I'm goo so don't cop me or kill me."
