Christmas Mafia: False start! (back to game setup)
« on: December 21, 2009, 11:46:44 pm »

Twas the day before christmas and all throughout the mall,
Many mall Santas were working , it's their first job since last fall.
Their rent checks were sent post-dated with care,
In the hopes that their bonuses soon would be there.

When out in the main hall there arose such a rumor
"They say the real Santa's here," they say with such humor

As they fight the guards with wet angry cats
"Santa..what next the Grinch?" you say as you fix up your hat.

But still..you ponder it a little..or maybe a lot
perhaps you'll send a letter..or a few, why not?.



Basic rules:

Votes are in Red.  Unvotes not required, but highly recommended.

PMs Not allowed, excluding the Santa Letter.

Quoting the PM is not Allowed.

48 hour days, 24 hour nights.  Weekends and holidays will not count.  Deadline in effect.  Extensions will be offered 24 hours before deadline.  Day Endings will be offered if over 50% of the town votes on the same target.

Bold is used to contact me.



Special rules:

Spoiler: Christmas Eve (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: The Letter (click to show/hide)


Spoiler: the Grinch (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: Scrooge (click to show/hide)

Final notes:

-This is NOT a Bastard Mod.  There are no lies and nothing about the game is hidden.  All roles work as advertised.

- Role Cops will see 'Mall Santa' to everyone that has no role or only have 1-shot skills.  If the person has a role that will be the role they see.  Grinches who have stolen roles will prioritize first to the role Santa gave them then to the first role they stole. 

- Cops will see Scrooge as follows: Pro-town as 'town', Mafia ally as 'mafia' and Survivor/SK as 'neutral'


Possible Roles (again, multiples exist):

Cop
Role Cop
Doctor
Vigilante
Bus Driver
Redirecter
RoleBlocker

Survivors:

Mr.Person
Zai
Cheddarius
Pandarsenic
Kashyyk
Webadict
Mephansteras
RedWarrior0
Sonearage
Leafsnail

It is now Christmas Eve.  There is 1 Grinch and 1 Scrooge.  Find them!

Good luck everyone.

Deadline: Wednesday, 9pm EST

GUYS! I think I have a plan!
Firstly, the "everyone sends for a certain role" thing I mentioned in the other thread.

Secondly, everyone sends for doctor to everyone! That way, Santa will give coal to whoever doesn't write doctor(because they are the mafia), and the mafia being doctor is useless! And whoever is doctor, the real townies, will just protect themselves every day! It's foolproof!

If you can't protect yourself, protect the next person - that way, the Mafia can't kill, because if person 3 is killed, we'll know that person 2 is a Mafia who didn't protect!

The only thing is, Scrooge might screw it up, but I doubt it.

The letter is a standard letter:

----
 
 Dear Santa,
 
 I have been a very good scumhunter this year.  Please send me what I want for Christmas.  I promise it will be very helpful.
 
 Thank you.
 
 ---


Any attempt to write any word more or less than that will be deemed a violation of the PM rules.

So for the role you want, you would write "Please send me RoleBlocker for Christmas" or whatnot?

...What? Explain your first point. You second point doesn't work, as we don't actually write for a certain role; we just send the standard letter, and Dak will give us what we want (what we were assigned in our Role PMs). So no. Not foolproof.

[PPE:] NO. YOU JUST SEND THAT LETTER. NO CHANGING. JUST THAT LETTER.

Oh, drat. I didn't read my role pm carefully enough.

For the first idea, I didn't really think it through, and it wouldn't work anyways because we can't choose our role. Sorry.

What you have is Bastard Mod thinking.. an attempt to look for some method of breaking the game in your favor and finding some solution.  That's good for Bastard Mods.

This, however, is not a Bastard Mod.  It's a standard game with a gimick.

As such, you should approach this like a normal game for the most part.  You have more to worry about than normal (looking for a pro-town santa along with the scum) but overall, you are reading people, and investigating them to find out who is who.

Hey Sonearage. Where art thou, O Fairest Scum in all the Land? Why art thou such a Grinch?
