Boot Camp Mafia: End
« on: February 10, 2010, 11:14:46 pm »

Have you ever been accused of being Too Townie?  So good at what you do that they don't believe you are real?

Have you played so well that mafia focus on killing you in every game because you are too much of a risk?


This is not the game for you.

This game is for the rest.  If you are always marked as 'scummy', or constantly getting lynched.  If you aren't even sure WHAT being 'town' means.  If you just need a brush up in playing.  If you'd rather have experts helping your play rather than tearing you down in game. 

Or if you're below Rank A and found an interest in the possibility of raising your rank.


If any of those apply, then this game is for you.  While winning is always important, the true goal here is to learn about and practice pro-town play. 

Setup and rules:

The game is in the near-mountainous setting: 6 townies, 1 doctor, 1 mafioso, 1 mafia roleblocker. 

Along with this, mentors will be requested.  Each player will be given one mentor, though a mentor can have multiple trainees.  The mentor will NOT be told your alignment or role and they should not focus on figuring it out (if it puts you to mind of a Defensive Lawyer, then you get a cookie).  No matter what alignment you are, your day game should be focusing on being 'town'.

During the day, the mentors cannot PM the trainees but may talk to them directly in the main chat.  At night, the mentors/trainee MUST talk to each other via PM.  If they request, a quicktopic can be made for them, but if so the night-only requirement still stands. 

Additional rules:

Other than nightly PM discussions with your mentor, the ONLY ones who can PM each other is the mafia.  Note that all PMs must have me as one of the recipients.

Votes will have a quirk attached:  Every 24 hours, you MUST vote for someone AND declare your reason for voting for them.  After 24 hours, the votes will be wiped and you MUST vote again.  Note that both vote and reason is the mark of your attendance: you are considered not active without a vote and reason. 

'Acceptable' reasons will start off very lax (even 'nonsense' reasons will count) but as the game goes on, better reasons will be required.  The host gets final say on this matter.  Note that it does not have to be correct or true even on the last day, but it needs to show you are thinking behind your actions.

Votes must be in Red.  Unvotes are highly suggested but not required.

The game will run under Deadlines with requests to shorten or extend day considered.  Ties result in No lynch.

You may NOT quote any of your PM messages and you may NOT edit posts for any reason.


Questions about anything are HIGHLY suggested, including matters of game content (i.e. "Is that a scum tell?" or "Was I right in that attack?")  any question you wish to address to the Host/Mentors are to be placed in bold.

Lastly (and most important to some): Any Rank B or above player that can be perfectly active all game will receive an increase of rank of 1/3 of a rank (i.e. from B to B+) for each day you survive, with a maximum of one Full rank (From B to A).  Note that this means regular voting each day, at least one PM to your mentor at night (and more than a "I'm here!") and, if you're mafia, discussion on who to kill.

Players:
1. Jokerman-EXE
2. RedWarrior0
3. Eduren
4. Org
5. SirBayer
6. Archangel
7. Rysith
8. GlyphGryph
9. Kashyyk
10. Shades

Hm.  Think I'm good enough to mentor?  I consider my town game of dubious quality, at best.

Your town game? You do pretty freakin' fantastic. Seriously, go through some of your games and see how many scum you pick off. You tend to find them very often.

Thanks, that means a lot to me.  In as a mentor, then.

Yes, please do :3

I GUESS I'll mentor...

I remember I caught her in BM... And then I lost. Screw my turn of heart! I should've kept pressing.

Meh. I enjoy your town game, since whether or not I'm scum, you'll always think I'm town. Which is a good thing... for me.

Haha.  Kudos to me for emotional manipulation >:3  Thanks to that game, though, you scared the crap out of me for months.  I'm still terrified of those reaction-testing questions, even as town.

In more seriousness, though, there's a couple of people on here that I find extremely hard to read: Dakarian, Leafsnail, and you.  There's something about your scum games that I just haven't figured out yet, and I don't know how to press it out of you guys, either.


Dakarian, I actually don't think we're going to get any signups for this.  People are willing to admit that they're beginners, but very few are going to go "Oh, hey!  I'm a crappy Mafia player, I'll go play Boot Camp."

Nominating people to play this would be a hilariously terribad but incredibly entertaining idea.

Why don't you join, then?  If you're having trouble, then maybe getting some advice would help  :)

Decidedly meh.  Ask Dakarian about it.  You can be the posterboy to show that this is an okay game for everyone to play >_>

You know, the S rank disallowing goes against my OWN IDEALS of what S rank means!

BAH *kicks self*

Consider the requirement removed.  Yes, Toony, you can join.
