Arrows Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Night Zero Excitement fills the air as opening night is upon us. Once a year the carnival rolls into town, and everyone comes out to waste their money on useless stuffed animals they'll just toss in a closet and forget about. The rides aren't much better of a deal, as prices have gone up while variety and length of time spent on the rides has been in decline for years. If it wasn't something of a tradition for families to come out on opening night, the carnival may have died out some years ago. The problem with traditions, is that they're predictable, and easy to target. When a group of hooligans decide to have a little fun and see how much chaos they can cause, opening night of the carnival suddenly becomes a very easy target. How event security could be so bad as to not notice them spreading gasoline was anyone's guess. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Elsewhere, opening night went on as usual. The lights and sounds distracted most from the impending danger. One girl in particular couldn't let these things distract her, though. She needed to be well aware of herself at all times, as her job depended on it. Her volunteer stood across the stage from her, several people looking on as she toyed with the knife in her hand before throwing it, sticking it in the board behind him mere inches from the man's face. A small smattering of applause was well deserved as she readied her second knife. As she went to throw it however, the unthinkable happened. An explosion rocked the carnival from all sides as the hoodlums set the gasoline ablaze. This momentary distraction just as she released her knife caused her to miss, plunging the knife into the man's chest instead. She ran up to him, horrified and apologizing profusely for what had just happened. She'd never made a mistake like this before. She removed the knife from the man's chest and knelt over him as his wife ran up onto the stage. "You killed him! How could you?" She cried out, rightfully furious as she watched her husband pass. "It was an accident! I got distracted. I'm so sorry." The wife wasn't hearing any of it. She lunged for the young knife thrower, determined to see her punished for this. It was in this moment, staring out at the flames surrounding them, that the knife thrower made a decision even she couldn't have seen coming. It could've been a defensive reaction in all the chaos, or it could be that she was just always this evil. Either way, as the child was pulled to her feet she turned and stuck the knife into the wife's chest. Derek B is dead. He was Town Aligned Husband. djthefunkchris is dead. He was Town Aligned Wife.

Arrows Posted December 10, 2018 Author Share Posted December 10, 2018 READ OR DIE HOW TO PLAY: - All of you will be PM’d a role and your alignment. The objective is to eliminate all members of the opposing alignment from the game. - Each player has been given a role with their own special ability. Your PM will explain what it does, if you are meant to know. You don’t have to reveal what your role is to the other players, nor will I do so in my updates. Then again there is nothing to stop you, so if you feel that it may help prove your innocence, go ahead – just keep in mind that this could also backfire and help the mafia. In other words, claim at your own risk. Likewise, you may lie about who you are if you wish. If you want to use your abilities, PM me. DO NOT post it in the thread. - The game is split into two phases, Day and Night. The game begins during the day, and all players (Mafia and Townie alike) post in the thread, deciding who to kill off. Lynching is the only way for the Townies to kill the Mafia, so be sure to examine voting patterns of your fellow players. I might also provide clues in the death write ups, but over-reliance on those is ill-advised as some may be traps. Day phases will last 48 hours or until a consensus is reached. Night phases will last 24 hours but may end earlier if all night activities are concluded. - All voting and discussion is to occur within the thread. Town players may discuss who they think is Mafia, and Mafia members should be trying to bluff/convince/blend in, and generally try not to get voted for. To vote, post Vote: Username (MUST BE IN BOLD!). You can also change your vote, by typing Change Vote: Username (AGAIN BOLDED!). You can also change your vote to nobody by typing Change Vote: No Vote (IN BOLD!). You can also choose to vote for No Lynching by using Vote: No Lynch (yeah... BOLDED!), meaning you actively vote to not lynch anyone during that day phase rather than passively not voting at all. You must post in the thread for your vote to be counted. You do not have to vote if you do not wish to. - A Day Phase is over whenever a person obtains more than 50% of the vote (and is lynched) or when the 48 hours run out. If no majority vote has been reached by the time the day phase expires, a no lynch will be declared. Once a person dies, I will reveal their alignment and role. - Night falls after somebody is executed or a no lynch is achieved. During this time, the Mafia can discuss who they want to kill next (using whatever form of communication appeals to them). Abilities are also used during this time. To use an ability, PM the mod (Arrows / Derek B), and he will PM you the outcome of the ability if you are to receive one before the following day phase. If it is something serious like somebody getting killed, I will update it in the thread. If possible though, try to PM me what you want to do as soon after night falls as possible to keep things moving along at a quick pace. - Night ends once I post who gets killed, and the cycle repeats itself. The Town players win if all Mafia members are dead, and vice versa. Remember, this is a team effort, so if you think sacrificing someone may help your cause, go ahead. -Remember, some roles such as investigators and protectors are more valuable to the town – so try to keep them alive! RULES: - I know it’s the Dog Pound (Mafia Forum), but try not to postwhore in the thread anyway. Feel free to trash talk, accuse, call out other players if you want, but if you’re going to vote, at least state some kind of reason as to why you’re doing so. - Though I can’t force you to post, I’d love to see active participation. I would advise everyone try to check in with this game at least once a day. Things move fast and you can fall behind pretty easily. - Once you are dead, you stay dead, and may not participate until the game is over. This includes notes found on your corpse, cryptic messages from the dead, etc, etc. You may also not advise the remaining players on what to do – besides, to prevent cheating, I will not provide the dead with any additional information than they would get if they were still alive. Of course, I’m willing to listen to your theories as to what’s going on. Likewise, I'd appreciate if those not taking part try not help those playing, though general comments on how things are going would be welcomed in the Sign Up Thread. - Unless your role PM specifically states otherwise, all players may not discuss game plan, your role, or alignment outside the thread. Of course, I can’t enforce this, but I believe secretly revealing information amongst each other would spoil the game, so try not to do it. - Players are not allowed to edit their posts in this thread at all, as it allows for those who make mistakes to remove all of the evidence without any effort. Since I can't enforce this, I strongly encourage all players to scrutinize any posts they notice that have been edited. -Players are not allowed to cut and paste anything straight from the Role PM except the Role title. No cutting and pasting from the body of the PM. You can paraphrase what your Role PM says but that is all. -Please play your role/alignment and play to win. I will be strict about this, so please don't make me enforce it. -Talking about your role after death or to those who have died IS NOT allowed. -Not everything is as it seems. If something unexpected happens, feel free to question it to me in private, and if I can, I'll answer. I reserve the right to mod kill if we find out that any of these rules have been broken. Please remember that you are not the only one playing this game, so don't ruin it for everyone else! The mods for this game are Arrows and Derek B. All PMs regarding abilities, questions or anything else should be sent to them. If you fail to communicate your information then I will go on what I have. You have be warned! Let us all keep in mind that this is a game and should be an enjoyable experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arrows Posted December 10, 2018 Author Share Posted December 10, 2018 It is now DAY PHASE ONE. With 24 players remaining, it's 13 to lynch. You have until 11:00 AM EST (4:00 PM GMT) on Wednesday, December 12th to reach a majority vote. If no majority has been reached at that time, a No Lynch will be declared. As always, if you see a mistake point it out. You are now free to begin posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winter8905 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Is the Knife thrower really a run of the mill mafia SK? she didn't want to do it , it was in self defense. I'd go for indie or something . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Archer Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 seemed evil to me, not that i am an expert on that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winter8905 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I mean it's implied that maybe she was evil all along or something but I wouldn't put her in the same group as the hooligans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayelek Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I'd see it as the killing in self defense awakens a killer sort of scenario, so probably an SK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moon_lit_tears Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Which would be great. mlt is scum or she would have let the town have that advantage... Coming from the guy who was such a rules stickler last game, not accepting votes with the word vote not bolder? Now this new lax way of looking at rules! Screams scummy to me!

Now this new lax way of looking at rules! Screams scummy to me! It would give the town the advantage of getting the scum role ability PMs. Win for the town. And if I would have accepted it(which I never would have) you would have been probably hung on D2 for a blood thristy lynch on a townie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leion Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 if scum can use fire, what do you guys think the fire does? It could just be there for flavor, but I think it could be something else as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theoutlaw321 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Could be a arsonist role working in tandem. Or could be the choice of kill for this games version of the mafia/bad team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theoutlaw321 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I have an idea. And if I'm right, it could be very bad news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winter8905 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Maybe if fire is a part of the scum ability.. then they have to use a phase to set it up the another phase to set it alight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayelek Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Lots of bad things could happen when it comes to fire. I'm just hoping I don't get burned alive, it's very not cool (pun intended). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
