FABUpunk! Mafia II–Day One, That One Guy is Dead

[Hinckley]

Players (in their anonymous character accounts) only please!!!

Rules

(Deviations from the EB standard Mafia rules are in bold blue. Modified clauses have been struck through.)

1. Each player will be given a character to play, who will be aligned with either the Town (Emancipators) or the Scum (Baby Dragon Haters). To win the game, the Town must kill off all threats to the Town, while the Mafia needs to kill off all players who are not a member of their team, or nothing can prevent this from happening (see example role PMs below) Third-Party (neutral) characters have their own win conditions as outlined in their roles.

1a. This is an anonymous game and you may only post in your character account sent to you by the host. Be sure to check before you post that you are in your anonymous account and not in your main Eurobricks account.

1b. When communicating in private, you should not reveal you true identities to each other, either.

1c. You have been given a Personality Quirk to play. Roleplaying is highly encouraged in this game. After all, you're playing happy, adorable little animals. Feel free to ignore what I've created for you and make up your own personality quirk to play. I will attempt a Darkdragon and award a roleplaying prize to a player or players each game day. This (virtual) prize is for fun only and has no effect on game mechanics.

2. Each day you will be able to vote to lynch a player. Voting is mandatory. Voting should be done in the following format; Vote: Character. Similarly, unvoting is to be done in the format; Unvote: Character. No other format will be accepted. A majority vote is required to lynch a player.

2a. You may not vote for yourself.

2b. You may not purposely break the rules to garner penalty votes (this will be dealt with on a case by case basis, and I hope I don't need to address it).

3. A game day will last a maximum of 72 hours. You may not vote in the first 24 hours. The day will end when a majority vote has been reached. A majority being reached will not end the day. The day will continue for the full 72 hours and any majority vote that is reached can be overturned. After the day has concluded, a night stage will commence, which will last a maximum of 48 hours. Night actions must be sent to the host in the first 24 hours of the night stage.

3.5. Players may not target the same player two nights in a row, and may not target themselves. Players may not target themselves, unless otherwise noted in your role PM. Players CAN target the same player two nights in a row.

4. The alignment of lynched players, as well as those that died during the night, will be revealed at the beginning of the following day.

5. You may not quote or pretend to quote anything sent to or from you in PM with the game host. This includes all the details of your character and role, as well as any night action results. Role claims and reporting of night action results are acceptable, but in your own words only. Do not attempt to use the structure of your role PM to your advantage. Similarly, you may not directly quote any communications that were sent to you by other players in the game. If you wish to reveal private communications, these must also be paraphrased. 

5a. The Role PM is structured for every player in this way:

Player: Your EB Profile

Character: Character name

Affiliation: Town (Emancipators) or Scum (Baby Dragon Haters) or Neutral

Role: [Either the details of a Night Action or] Vanilla. You have no ability. Your power is in your vote! Use it wisely.

Win Condition: Either (You win when all threats to the Emancipators are eliminated) or (You win when all the Emancipators and any other factions are eliminated or nothing can prevent this from happening) or (Neutral's win condition)

Character Quirk: See Role 1c.

6. Do not play the game outside the thread. Similarly, do not post out of character inside the thread; you must always play the role given to you. Game tactics and roles may only be discussed in the game thread or via PM with other players. Private discussion is done at your own risk and should be treated as part of the game.

6a. PMing (or writeboard activity) is only allowed during the Night phase for every player.

7. If you are dead, you may not post in thread or discuss the game with any of the players. Any information you had becomes void, and may not be passed on.

8. You may not edit your posts. You literally can't, anyway.

9. You must post in every day thread.

10. If you encounter a problem or have a question, please contact the host via PM.

11. Violation of the above rules will result in a vote penalty of half the required majority against you on your first offense, and the death of your character on your second offense. Violation of rule 7 will have a heavier penalty, including suspension, made at the discretion of the Games Moderator. A warning will be given upon our first violation of Rule 1. Do be careful when posting to ensure you are posting from the correct account.

12. There are no hints or clues in the day/night images.

[Marlowe Monkey]

Oooooomrooooom! You're back. I want to ride a magical dragooooon toooooo! Soooooo, the twickstew has fucked us all again. There's a lot of ways I feel they could screw this up for the town. The falsifier rooooole has me intrigued. From what I'm understanding they falsify a role but I don't understand what it means by the "recipient getting three options".

Maybe the recipient gets three roles specified by the trickster that they can choose from to falsify.

[Hyacinth Hippo]

That's a lot of roles! Just when you've thought you've seen them all!

Oof! I seem have fallen over poor Biddy's dead body!  Someone help, I have a terrible bruise. Is there a doctor onboard?

We should get started though, the early bird gets the worm. Are there any birds or worms aboard?

[Benicia Bear]

OH YEAH OH YEAH OH NO!

BIDDYBORAXBIDDY IS DEAD! I didn't know Torgam the Mighty was such a pretty dragon.

What a great ability! I want to sing a lullaby!

[Bartosz Bulldog]

At risk of restating the obvious I'm going to translate this list into a language I can understand better than adowabwe baby dwagonspeach. 

 

"Scum get their factional kill
Scum get a Switch (the switch blocks one type of role, active (Blocker, Vigilante, Protector), informative (Tracker, Watcher, Investigator, Voyeur), manipulative (Mirror, Bus Driver, Rolestopper)

1. Compulsive Tracker *
2. Compulsive Watcher *
3. Compulsive Investigator *
4. Compulsive Voyeur *
5. Compulsive Blocker *
6. Compulsive Vigilante *
7. Compulsive Protector *
8. Mirror *
9. Compulsive Bus Driver *
10. Compulsive Rolestopper *
11. Falsifier (Can make one one-shot Action FALSE, recipient gets three options) *
12. Normalizer (reverts a falsified Action back to Normal) *

14. Encryptor (If given to Scum, they are able to communicate during the Day)
15. Virgin
16. Compulsive Hooker
17. Hated
18. Loved
19. Priest

*indicates required, the Trickster must assign these roles

20. Baby Dwagon Lullaby
21. Baby Dwagon Slumber Party"


That out of the way.... Holy smokes. It must be said that I forsaw this eventuality. You all may think me mad, but the mop-water never lies! By cleaning the grime of the past I enable the contents of my murky pail to expose the future! Gaze into this reeking water and thou shalt behold the stench of treachery and heroics to come! 

So.... This looks like a role madness game of the sort I've never seen before. I am almost too intimidated by this massive list to even start dissecting it... almost. 

So it looks like the scum are going to be able to limit the number of roles that actually take effect. I have no doubt that the morning after we'll be able to ascertain which they chose so that will be useful to some extent. As before reporting actions the morning after is going to be crucial, and as was the case last time I see no townie reason for the "Falsifier" to refrain from announcing themselves. Unless claiming is banned or the recipients aren't informed or something, I also don't see why the Priest and those with voting-power manipulating roles shouldn't claim as well, but I'd appreciate some input thinking that through.  

Looks like this is going to be very interesting. Borf.

I imagine this means that the Forest God or whatever we're calling that these days is going to give the Falsifier 3 options of roles to falsify. presumably the informative roles. The Forest god may also, although it's not explicitly stated so this is just speculation on my part, give that list of options to the Normalizer although it may just be up to them to guess. Either way there's a limited selection of roles that COULD be falsified so the normalizer won't have a massive list of viable options to choose from to start with. 

borf. 

[Holbrook Horse]

Hey! In the process of establishing the Western Realms, did our ancestors colonize the world of Autumn Falls?

Having considered the list of actions for tonight, I agree with Bartoszzxcvzxcvxc's assessment that whoever is assigned the Falsifier action should claim ASAP.

We'll have to see but the way I read it, it looks like the Falsifier is given a choice of roles to mess with, and the Normalizer will just have to target someone, and if that person has a role that has been messed with, then good.

The sheer number of actions for tonight has got me all worried. Anyone up fow a wittle snuggle to make me feel better?

Gooooood thinking Bartosz. That makes sense. I coooould see the Normalizer and the falsifier getting the same list oooooof roooooles sooo that there's a higher chance of both of them targeting the same person. And I like the name Forest God. That's a good name. From now on he who lives above us shall be called the Forest God. I think the falsifier should claim. I could see the mirror possibly wanting to claim too.

Are yoooou sure you weren't dreaming? Hearing noises in dreams usually means you are going through some hard times. 

[Mobley Mouse]

oh. i had better consult the big book of fun things to do to work out half of those things! 
but since we all will have something, surely everyone claims? are there any roles there that absolutely shouldn’t?

17, 18, and 19 should all probably be claimed. 14 can be claimed so we'll know whether or not scum have it. 16 should be claimed IMO and not used if possible. And yeah 11 should be claimed so we can decide which action should be falsified, or if any at all depending on the options available. I wonder how 12 works. Because if the Falsifier is compulsive and their options are all roles we want to keep then hopefully the normalizer can easily normalize them by sending in the role name and not need a player name in order for it to work.

What about the bus driver?

11 minutes ago, Mobley Mouse said:

1 thru 7 and 13 should not be claimed.

8, 9, 10 should maybe be claimed in order to cause the least damage. The mirror is only a problem for a town vig.

[Gilford Goat]

How did I miss the fricking compulsive modifiers when writing everything up???  So the hooker is compulsive. Just a little thing I guess but the virgin could be helpful IMO.

Does that mean the falsifier isn't compulsive since it doesn't say it is? Hopefully. If desired that is.

The rolestopper could be a pain in the ass. have them target the bus driver if possible?

Got plenty of time before voting opens which will be when the roles get handed out so hopefully we can settle on this stuff beforehand. Some are obvious that they shouldn't be claimed, but others not so much.

Neither are compulsive, so if we think they are both in the hands of Emancipators, they do not have to be used at night.

On the other hand: the risk of killing the unclaimed roles will also be higher for them, as it is more likely that those roles will be watched or protected.
