IB Mafia Game 5--Clam Mafia [GAME OVER]

Since Soprano's *stops glaring at Soprano* doesn't seem inclined to actually get started, and MaskedJedi's is in the middle of play, here's my first Mafia game. I will assign roles after signup is finished. For those who know not how to play, go to the original Mafia game; the rules outlined on that site will be followed here, with some exceptions. The first is that mafia need to kill all non-mafia in order to win, rather than just be 50 percent or more of the people. Same applies to Cult--they need to be all of the survivors. I am also adding the Cult of the Giant Clam, as follows:

Membership in the Cult of the Giant Clam is assigned alongside your role. Notwithstanding your membership or lack thereof in the Cult, you play your role as normal. Each Cult member knows the names, but not the allegiances or roles, of the other members. During the day, any Cult member may post to the main thread the word "Clam". (I will refer to the Cult of the Giant Clam as the "Clam Cult" from now on to distinguish it from the Cult.) If a Clam Cult member calls the Cult, by doing the above, then all Clam Cult members immediately die. WARNING: If a person who is not a Clam Cult member posts "Clam", that person will immediately die. I don't want anyone fooling around with this.

This is a test of the Clam Cult concept. Depending on how well it works here, I may or may not include it in future games.

UPDATE 11/6/07:
I am adding the Paranoid Gun Owner role (idea by granf, thanks). This person kills the first person to try to kill him at night. Thus, they can only be killed by either two people targeting him the same night, or by lynching.

UPDATE 11/16/07:
New role: Mafia Insider
This person is not actually involved with the Mafia, and is town-aligned. Every night, I flip a coin. This person has a 50/50 chance of receiving information about one Mafia member. If they do, I whisper the name to them.

Clarification about Clam Cult: If the Cult Leader inducts a Clam Cult member, they do indeed have control over whether that member calls the Cult. Basically, if you are inducted, you can't do anything that affects the game state without the OK of the leader.

SuperLlamel on Nov 04, 2007

Me.

rajr19 on Nov 06, 2007

what? yeah! (lil john)

nunchakuMaster on Nov 07, 2007

im in too. 7 hours till 4 starts.

alethiophile on Nov 14, 2007

All right. It's currently Wednesday; I'll start off with Night One on Friday, to end sometime on Sunday.

tamashii on Nov 14, 2007

why would any clam member ever post "Clam" in this thread. That has to be the least motivating role action ever.

MaskedJedi on Nov 14, 2007

Kill scum. Sacrifice yourself for the good of the town.

alethiophile on Nov 14, 2007

it does, sort of. Also, I forgot to put--the day after they are night-killed, a Clam Culter can post Clam. That could give some more motivation. Or maybe, if somehow a person finds out that there's a key person in the Cult on the other side?

alethiophile on Nov 14, 2007

During the next few days, everyone should delete their posts from before my "Game will start on Friday" one. I think that we ought to make that standard in Mafia games, to delete sign-up phase posts before the game.

MaskedJedi on Nov 14, 2007

Or start a new thread.

alethiophile on Nov 14, 2007

That's awkward and leads to confusion.

alethiophile on Nov 15, 2007

Anyone else?

Granf on Nov 15, 2007

you start friday, right?

alethiophile on Nov 16, 2007

Starting now. Sign-ups are closed. (To sign up, I think that MJ has a game.) I have yet to assign roles--I'll whisper those in a couple of minutes.

alethiophile on Nov 16, 2007

Everyone delete your posts from before Shoebox "I will be gone for a few days." Night 1 will not start until we have a reasonable number of posts.

MaskedJedi on Nov 16, 2007

Here's what I would do:

Make a list of all the people who have not complied.
Kick one of them out of the game a day.
Take them off if they comply.

alethiophile on Nov 16, 2007

I don't want to randomly kick people out.

alethiophile on Nov 16, 2007

Roles are out. We have a reasonable number of comments, so I'm starting Night 1. Send in your actions by Sunday morning (night will end earlier if I get everyone's actions).

terremom Vip-micro on Nov 17, 2007

I've posted

alethiophile on Nov 17, 2007

You post saying "I've posted"? This is an interesting tautology...

alethiophile on Nov 18, 2007

MaskedJedi was sitting at home, tense. His job provided him with a great deal of stress and mortal danger. He heard a ring of his doorbell, and went to open it. It was the pizza guy. He picked up his pizza, paid for it, and was just about to sit down and eat it when a chlorine gas grenade bounced in through his window and detonated. Redpoint stole away from his window quietly, pleased at his perfect hit. He remained pleased until a three-inch-long, sharp metal sliver appeared through the bridge of his nose. Meanwhile, Serenity was sitting in her living room, doing nothing in particular, when someone clamped a chloroform-soaked cloth over her nose and mouth. When she woke up, she was in a cell.

The townspeople woke up to find:
MaskedJedi, Mafia insider, gassed Night 1
Redpoint, Mafiate, knifed Night 1
Serenity in jail

alethiophile on Nov 18, 2007

When you say 7 to lynch, does that mean that 7 people are getting lynched today?

soprano on Nov 19, 2007

No; it means that if one person gets 7 votes, then that person gets lynched instantly.

alethiophile on Nov 19, 2007

7 is a majority.

Shoebox on Nov 19, 2007

Thank you both for the clarification! Sorry for my noobishness

This day will end at 6:00 PM MST. That's in about 4 hrs and 45 mins. Voting closes then.

Granf on Nov 20, 2007

use zulu time, just to stay universal.

Granf on Nov 20, 2007

which makes it end at 1:00 in the morning, tommorow.

alethiophile on Nov 20, 2007

What the heck is zulu time? I can understand using GMT, but I and most everyone else on this thread lives in MST.

alethiophile on Nov 20, 2007

That is, everyone who I know the basic location of does.

Granf on Nov 20, 2007

GMT is zulu time. same thing.

Granf on Nov 20, 2007

and only 6/14 people are on MST (that i know of).

alethiophile on Nov 20, 2007

ah
voting is over.
terremom, giver, lynched Day 1

alethiophile on Nov 20, 2007

It's night. Send me stuff.

MaskedJedi on Nov 20, 2007

You should post alignments in the death part.

alethiophile on Nov 20, 2007

Good idea.

alethiophile on Nov 20, 2007

Done.

Shoebox on Nov 22, 2007

What time will night end?

alethiophile on Nov 22, 2007

Night will end tonight, or tomorrow morning.

alethiophile on Nov 23, 2007

Aemcg left home one night, determined to prevent the Mafia from killing Soprano. She got to his house, only to see him leaving home and going into a dark alley. She followed, wary, and was just in time to catch an artistically thrown Japanese shuriken flying towards him. The one who had thrown it slipped away before she could see their face. She was looking after them when she heard a noise behind her. She whipped around, but too late to dodge the charging llama that ran her down. Soprano, hearing the commotion, turned around and saw the rider of the llama get off and fall over. On closer inspection, he found a sharp wooden spike lodged in SuperLlamel's brain stem.

The townspeople woke up to find:
Aemcg, town-aligned bodyguard, stampeded Night 2
SuperLlamel, town-aligned vigilante, brain punctured Night 2

alethiophile on Nov 23, 2007

Lynch someone.

thanxs for helping people to unvote me Granf ;P

alethiophile on Dec 07, 2007

Night is now over (finally).

Annikalee left her house, determined to put an end to her target's life. Coming up on her goal, she stuck a sticky cloth to a basement window, then rapped it sharply with a hammer. Almost no noise was made as the broken glass stuck to the cloth. Pulling the cloth away, she entered the house, looking around for her target. The would-be victim was pointing a long sniper rifle at her down the hallway. She dropped her gun and held up her hands, but the "target" fired repeatedly. Outside, the person waiting to tempt Annikalee away heard the gunshot and walked off disappointed.

The townspeople woke to find:
Annikalee, mafia-aligned mafiate, sniped Night 3

alethiophile on Dec 07, 2007

Go lynch someone.

annikalee on Dec 08, 2007

@alethiophile: you might want to get me off of the live players list considering i'm now dead

anti on Dec 08, 2007

Is it day now?

alethiophile on Dec 08, 2007

Looks like it.

alethiophile on Dec 16, 2007

I think so. I'll make the night post shortly.

alethiophile on Dec 16, 2007

Granf left his house, pondering his life. This introspection lasted until a round from a silenced sniper rifle three houses away penetrated his occipital lobe. On the other side of town, a person left a party and started walking home, three blocks away. They never arrived.

The townspeople woke up to find:
Granf, cult-aligned cop, shot Night 4
