The Convention - Day 1

Recommended Posts

The named “Day 1” dawned, as it usually does, and as the members of the respective Mafias woke up, they saw a frightening sight - many of the members were dead, their bodies lying in all sorts of fun positions. John McClane shouted in fright at all the dead bodies, waking up everyone who was still sleeping. Frank Johnson did a quick head count of everyone alive - “11 of us left. Only 11.”

Nishimura Yamaguchi sighed, then pointed at Alarcio Leyva and Masharin Ivankov - “Go get the leaders’ bodies from the conference room. We’ll put them out here on display. Help us remember what we’re doing here.”

He walked over to Yakolev Ivankov, with Amelto Inzerillo following him. Frank Johnson and Godalupe Leyva soon approached them. “We need to work out a system,” Amelto Inzerillo whispered, “to find the members of the Ultimatio.” Godalupe Leyva scratched his helmet and said, in a Google Translate voice: “We could always do what we’re best at…”

Yakolev Ivankov looked at his fellow Mafia-ers. “Standard Mafia rules?” They all nodded. It was simple enough, and needed less explaining than some plot about Shadows or some crap like that.

Frank Johnson pointed at John McClane - “He can be our neutral party. Investigates lynch subjects, gives night results, all that fun stuff.” They all agreed - it was a good plan, and should be easy to pull off.

Amelto Inzerillo sighed. “Welp. 72 hours left.”

Rules. For the Players. Not for the Host. The Host has no rules to follow.

1. Everyone gets their very own character! Hooray! Either they’re part of the MAFIA, or they’re part of the more red ULTIMATIO. There is no third party neutral, nor will there be any references to the existence of one.

2. Every day, you have the option to vote for someone. You do not have to vote, that is also an option. Do it like Vote: Character (Player). If you want to unvote, do the same thing, but say Unvote:. A two-thirds majority (which I will calculate for you) is required for a lynch.

3. Every “day” is 72 hours long. That’s 3 days. Plenty of time. You can’t vote for the first 24 hours, but as soon as the 25th hour begins, you can. After that, you get a night stage, which, hopefully, will last for a majority of 48 hours. At the beginning of each day (except Day 1, obviously), the alignment of those who died or were lynched will be revealed.

4. You must post twice at least every day. I do this to encourage activity, since inactivity has been pretty prevalent in games thus far. If you do not post at least twice, you get 4 votes against you at the beginning of the next day.

5. Don’t quote any PM’s. You can lie about them, but only if you just paraphrase it. Lying is encouraged, as it sows the seed of distrust!

6. Keep the game in the game, or in your PM’s. If some guy steps to you in game, don’t take it out on him in some thread about the new Star Wars set. We’re all people here.

7. If you die, you can’t post anymore. You’re dead. Keep it that way. Same thing with PM’s. Dead people can’t send messages.

8. If you edit a post, I will decapitate you. Or not, I’ll probably just do the 4 vote thing. If I edit a post, same punishment. No one is safe!

9. There is no BS temperature stuff or hints or any of that in the pictures. The pictures are simply pictures.

10. Let’s talk about PM’s. In the past, you can send PM’s to whomever you desire. Not so here, my friends. Now you may only send PM’s to those who share your family name (Inzerillo, Yamaguchi, Leyva, Ivankov, Johnson). I can’t really keep tabs on whether or not you’re going to be honest about this or not, but let’s just put the honor system in place.

11. This is kinda one of the guidelines when you host a Mafia - don’t make characters who are obviously Mafia-esque into the bad guys. That ruins the fun for everyone. So while certain characters may seem more or less Mafia-esque than others, remember that all alignments and roles are completely random. Remember - judge people on what they say, not who they’re playing as.

12. If you need help with stuff, or want to talk about the game freely, just talk about it with me in the role PM with me. If you need money, I suggest you seek other help.

13. If you violate the rules, I’ll get real angry. Not sure what I’ll do, but you won’t like it.

14. Have fun, if you want. Or destroy everyone in your race to survive. Your choice.

Hey MacClane - any chance we can get the usual lineup of photos and names? There's a bunch of families to keep track of here. Thanks. As long as we're keeping you trapped here, might as well make yourself useful. And then get us something to eat. Lasagna if you can do it right. Spaghetti if your culinary skills aren't so good.

I second the request for a standard character list. I need to know who I can drop a line to!

Shoot, only 11? I thought we had 12. Better make this quick. There can't be more than 2 or 3 Ultimatios. :hmpf_bad:

This reminds me of this one time in Guadalajara my cousin Manny and I arranged a snail fight, couldn’t afford chickens, and we started with 22 snails. Manny was making a margarita and he might’ve spilt some salt in the ring, long story short we were left with 11 unhappy snails. The fire in their eyes I know they wanted revenge!

I’m no dirty detective but I suggest we all check each other in case one of us is a slug in disguise.

Yeah, slugs have totally disguised themselves as the Mafia to kill us from the inside out. Best guess ever.

:blush: Oops, I guess I edited this post. Got to catch myself quicker next time.

Don't waste your words on obvious statements, you might need them more later.

You've gotten four votes already, your blood is on your own hands now. I can't say I'm pleased in your work...

Funny how fixing a typo can do this to you. At least we'll know that whoever tries to make a ridiculous accusation and vote against me to get an easy lynch is probably scum.

We stick to the rules. The four votes are your own doing. I'll make the accusation, and I'll defend it of not being ridiculous. But you can just be glad I don't believe in lynching unnecessarily...

Whoa there cowboy, those are some big words.

I didn't think that was much of an accusation, let alone a ridiculous one. You seem a bit jumpy...

I'm the other Johnson...but I ain't no dick :laugh:

I already sent you a PM to the same effect.

Small numbers gathered here, not much room for mistakes. The edited post throws a wrench in it already. Let's see, is it majority lynch or at least half the votes?

Ok, it's a 2/3rds majority required...so we've got a little wiggle room with your 4 vote penalty. But if this had happened on a later day...

Just be careful :classic:

As y'all know, I'm frank "the tank". (Yes, gave myself a nickname). Hopefully I can be a help to everyone, but don't mess with my family or you'll see why I call myself the tank!

-talks in a Christian Bale Batman voice- Only 11 of us left. These ultimatios are more dangerous then I thought. If this gets to bad I will have to use my super scary voice to scare the truth out of you and find out who is an ultimatio.

Dang it's quiet around here. And headed into the weekend, dunno if it'll pick up much.

So let's get some talk going on since that's the only way to find the ultimatios.

As a serious topic, should we go for a no-lynch today? Odds are high of getting non lynch days in this sinec we need a 2/3 majority. With only 11 of us, we don't have a ton of wiggle room. That's like starting a bigger game on day 3 or 4 but without any history to base decisions on. We need time here and don't have the people to sacrifice.

Next, we need to set up a complicated code system to ensure that only trusted people know what's going on. Oh wait, wrong game. Although, since we can only PM in our own families, you never know...

But is it truly wise for what you say, no lynch? I don't want hive decision and us to lynch wrong person just because it easy. And I don't want bad decision of no lynch because we have no clue. Give me vodka and I think on this.

We can learn a lesson from previous lives, methinks. Consulting the archives of our Mafia brothers back in the Middle Ages, I seem to remember being too hasty for a lynch cost the villagers two important "Power Roles," whatever those are. :look:

So Amelto, and Michael, are you both for a no lynch today?

Wow, see what happens when we get some new blood in here? In the past I would have been put up for a lynch myself for merely suggesting a no-lynch day 1 (even though statistically it's been proven to be good for the town) because so many old-timers around here are against it.

I believe a no-lynch day 1 is best for larger games... of life, with more... Disposable townies, but in these smaller ones it usually ends up doing more harm than good.
