The Setup
Nightless; 7 townies, 3 mafia
The mafia pick a townie to be the first gunbearer.
The town discuss amongst themselves, and the gunbearer picks someone to target by posting ##shoot Elmo or similar.
If their target is mafia, the target dies and the gunbearer keeps the gun.
If their target is town, the gunbearer dies and the target becomes the new gunbearer.
Repeat until all mafia are dead, or the mafia's numbers equal the non-gunbearing townies.

- Days will last 72 hours (3 days). There are no nights. The day ends when the gunbearer shoots.
- Play to win.
- Don't be lame.
- Don't quote any private communications (role PMs, questions you asked the mod etc.). Paraphrasing is fine. If you're unsure if your paraphrase comes to close to quoting ask a mod.
- You cannot talk about the game outside the thread.
- Twilight is the phase between when a someone is targetted and flips are announced. Town may continue to converse during this time.
- The gunbearer will shoot itself if time runs out, and mafia will be allowed to choose a new gunbearer.

Q: Pseudo-Votes y/n?
We'll most likely have to do vote counts ourselves, but I think it's nevertheless a good idea to do this. Not that the gun dude has to follow through on the votes, but yeah.

##Vote Serela
For screwing me over last game.

RP after cofirmation phase ry(

ActionDan · « **Reply #7 on:** June 19, 2012, 05:41:03 PM »

Present.

Personally, I think psuedo-votes will be useful for accountability and pseudo-VCAs, but vigs shouldn't sheep the general consensus as that pretty much ruins the advantage of being a confirmed town vig etc.

@mod, I assume all gunbearers including the first are publically revealed?

*Shoots Serela first without mecry

Serela · « **Reply #15 on:** June 20, 2012, 02:06:18 PM »

I'm so town, that I'm town even when I'm scum.

Lexicat · « **Reply #16 on:** June 20, 2012, 02:24:19 PM »

Tao doesn't know what a "confirm" is, but it looks tasty!

capt. h · « **Reply #17 on:** June 20, 2012, 02:35:25 PM »

10/10 Confirms

Day 1 will begin in 13.5 hours.

NekoNekoRex · « **Reply #18 on:** June 20, 2012, 05:08:45 PM »

The wild players have all gathered, seemingly as part of a ritual. It is a rare event among the species, having few recorded instances in the wild, and this documentary will serve to capture footage of this ritual in great detail.

The players await for the right time to begin their seemingly self-destructive ritual. What is the purpose of this event? For mating? For players to establish dominance? for regulating the size of the pack? This documentary shall serve to find the answers, and unlock the secrets of "The Mafia Game".

ActionDan · « **Reply #19 on:** June 20, 2012, 05:48:08 PM »

Aha! Fools!

We are lucky the empire is incompetent, freely giving away their most powerful weapon. Let the pawns go first. They will make room for the heavy pieces.

Victory shall be ours this day. Japan shall be liberated!

I have a message for scum: DIE!

Lexicat · « **Reply #20 on:** June 20, 2012, 06:43:47 PM »

What's a "scum"? It sounds yucky.

I'mmmmmm sooooooooooooo hungryyyyyyyyyy~

capt. h · « **Reply #21 on:** June 21, 2012, 12:59:20 AM »

Day 1 has begun.

Bardiche is the first gunbearer. He has 72 hours to shoot someone.

Timer.

Bardiche · « **Reply #22 on:** June 21, 2012, 01:04:12 AM »

Oh god. Justice.

Serela, give me a very, very good reason not to shoot you in the face right away.

Maybe because she won't actually die if she's town?

And then you're giving the gun to someone who I wouldn't WANT to have it as town.

In my opinion, you should shoot someone who you feel is both competent as town and dangerous as scum, and you have a scum read on them.

Bardiche · « **Reply #24 on:** June 21, 2012, 01:12:44 AM »

I want everyone to do this: Give me a reason not to shoot Serela, dood. Then tell me how you think we had best approach this, dood. You can ##Vote to make clear who your preferred target is, but like a vigilante I make no promises to follow the will of the majority, dood.

But I do think we should discuss, unless you'd like me to make an uneducated guess, dood. So. Why should I not shoot Serela and what is the best way to approach this setup.

Bardiche · « **Reply #25 on:** June 21, 2012, 01:13:39 AM »

Also:

Don't be a derptard and set yourself up for a shooting target just so you can get the gun. The purpose of the game isn't to get the gun, it's to eliminate scum. Don't forget that.

This. So much this.

Lexicat · « **Reply #27 on:** June 21, 2012, 01:16:31 AM »

Also, I wouldn't mind you shooting Conq, Affinity or Omba Bard. All of these are great opening shots.

I have no name · « **Reply #28 on:** June 21, 2012, 01:33:02 AM »

You shouldn't shoot Serela because he hasn't done anything scummy as of yet.
Additionally, the endgame of SYWTBTT came down to Serela's pick-and he picked wrong.

I read the linked mafia game. This was one of the opening posts.

Serela, give me a very, very good reason not to shoot you in the face right away.

Because

A.I haven't done anything yet ;_;
B.Turboshooting probably isn't the best plan! How much info do you have d2 if d1 is instantly ended by a vig? (Granted, all our days are going to be ended by vigs, but still)
C.Do you really want to give me the gun if you end up dying when you try to shoot me

Also Bob was totes scummy :c I may have picked wrong, but he did some stuff that looked pretty bad to me! (Even after admitting that a decent amount of what I thought was bad was me reading into it too hard, still)

As for how to approach this, I'm not entirely sure how to begin with trying to figure out who's scum in this kind of setup, but I figure if we keep going in the direction we are now we'll get somewhere eventually! :o
