Traitors on the Battlefront

Bombs exploding. Guns firing. The smells of dust, sweat, blood, and tears. This is wartime.

 

For some reason or another war has sprung up and all you & your squads have gotten called in to fight. The initial invasions and such went extremely well. However, recently you've been losing ground and men...and a lot of them. It seems that almost every time a squad can get into a good position, they get blown to bits or forced back. Attacks, counterattacks, feints, and flanking...none of it seems to work anymore.

 

And no one seems to be able to figure it out.

 

Worried that you have traitors in your midst, and separated from a lot of the higher ups, you decide it's time to take action into your own hands and find the traitors.

Rules

(Stolen from mole and edited to my liking)

 

1. This is game. Play to win; expect to lose. And have fun.

 

2. No editing or deleting posts.

 

3. No talking to other players outside the game thread unless your Role PM states specifically that you can.

 

4. No quoting any PMs from me, including Role PMs. Doing so will get you modkilled. Paraphrasing is OK. If you are worried about something not being ok, then either PM me or just dont say it.

 

5. Vote for a player to be lynched by using the Vote: Narsis format. You dont need to unvote before voting again, but it is appreciated(especially if you dont vote again right away).

 

6. Days will last 10 days. Nights will last up to 72 hours, but may be cut short if I get all actions in before then, with a minimum 24 hour night.

6-1. If discussion is lagging, I may impose a shorter deadline at my own discretion. Deadline extensions will happen on request - but will only happen once per day at most, and if I feel there's enough activity to warrant one.

 

7. A lynch requires a majority (50% rounded down + 1) vote. You can also No Lynch, by using Vote: No Lynch.

7-1. If there is no majority by deadline, only a half-majority is needed. (Majority / 2, rounded up if necessary)

7-2. If there are 2 players with the same amount of at least half-majority votes at deadline, then I will lynch the one who reached that number of votes first.

 

8. After someone has been lynched, discussion may continue until I can get to the thread and end the day. If you are dead you may continue to post until your death scene is posted. After that point I will only allow a Bah post, and only if you were night killed.

 

9. Don't use small / invisible font, don't use coloured text(except for mole who is allowed to use orange if he is acting as the super moderator of the forum), and don't use any form of clever encryption or code in your messages.

 

10. If you haven't posted in 2 days, I'll prod you. If you don't pick up that prod AND post within 48 hours, I'll replace you.

10-1. If you need to be replaced for whatever reason, please PM me, don't flake.

10-2. If you are V/LA, don't rely on me checking the thread / your signature. Please post in the thread notifying me of your V/LA or PM me about it.

10-3. If you replace out, you automatically lose. If you are someone replacing in, whether it counts as a win or loss depends on how long you have been replaced in for.

 

11. Vote counts will be made whenever I feel like it(or it is asked) and will be done in a separate post.

 

13. I hope it isn't necessary, but any modkills will negatively effect the rule-breaker's faction in some way which I see fit. If you are modkilled, you lose, no matter how the game ends.

 

14. I can change, add, or edit rules as I see fit. I will notify players in-thread if this happens.

 

15. I am not perfect. I may have got something wrong. I may have missed a rule out. Let me know, ask me questions, but don't abuse my mistakes.

15-1. To get my attention in-thread, use the MOD: <Your message> format. Or, y'know, you could PM me.

 

Special Rules

 

1. In this game you are fighting over a battlefield. The more posts you make in thread with applicable content(determined by me), the more your side advances against the opponent.

1-1. Double posts(or triple posts etc) will only count as a single post.

 

2. As such, this game does not have traditional win conditions. Each side wins when they move a predetermined amount of space across the battlefield. (and yes it is balanced and fair)

 

3. Mafia post counts will be multiplied by (# of townies) / (# of mafia).

 

4. Any third-party roles will not affect the # of posts for either town or mafia. However, it may play a part in their own powers(if they have any) or win condition.

4-1. Power roles(if there are any) may or may not be affected in a similar way by their post #.

 

5. The amount of ground controlled by each side will be updated at the start of every day. Note: post numbers will not be revealed, only the percentage of ground each side controls.

 

6. When a player dies, the amount of posts they were contributing to their side is removed.

 

7. Due to the inclusion of this mechanic, a side may win before, or after, where they normally would. (ie. mafia may still lose even if they have more then 50% of the remaining players)

 

8. If you have any questions regarding this mechanic, just ask. I may, or may not, answer it.

My vote is already on mole, so obviously I agree with KevinH. On top of this, both mole and Kasabian are the two most likely scum suspects at this time. Therefore, the option where lynching one as scum confirms the other as scum is highly attractive. And as KevinH noted, even if we turn out to be wrong about mole, it would still lead us to a scum. So it really is a win/win scenario as I would sacrifice a townie to find a scum any time (except Lylo obviously).

I still feel that making it to Day 4 is a priority.

However

Day 1 (7-3) no-lynch

Night 1 (7-3) failed night-kill

Day 2 (7-3) lynch based on current analysis -- worst case, we lynch a townie

Night 2 (6-3) townie night-killed

Day 3 (5-3) lynch based on more analysis -- virtually assured of lynching 1 scum

Night 3 (5-2) townie night-killed

Day 4 (4-2) lynch or lose but now there are three battlefield shifts to use

 

Unvote.

Vote: Molestargazer

 

The good of the many outweighs the good of the one.

I also suggest an update before the deadline, what will be gained with that? easy more information that will lead to the real scums ,therefore, there won't be any townie dead.

 

You do know that the update option was removed ages ago, right? If not, you really are out of the loop...That may well mean you're not lurking on purpouse.

Kasabian, I don't want to put you at L-1 and risk a quicklynch. However, you are currently at L-2.

 

I'd like a roleclaim, please.

 

It's okay, if i get lynched, the scums will be cornered as they have voted for me already so they will be an easy target.

 

You and your men are one of the best groups of medics there is...

i agree that right now it seems to be between kasabian and mole with kasabain being the stronger choice

 

i also agree with how kevinH has laid stuff out

 

You and your men are one of the best groups of medics there is...

 

are you trying to hint that you are doc maybe?

 

also a quick lynch gets us less than letting the disscussion to continue to drag out so i am holding my vote

your guys can't patch themselves up if they are under attack...

 

Good god. :facepalm:

I sincerely hope you did not quote your pm role...as you will most likely be mod-killed.

 

Since you strongly hinted that you are doc...would you mind telling us whom you protected?

My friend how many times you want me to say it, im a townie, i've always been playing pro-town. If i get lynched you'll see im saying the true. I know im in a few combinations but CH is too, im in 3 combinations, he is in 3, mole is in just two, so you might consider my option that the scums are the combination of CH, nerau and kaziocore.

 

 

Dude...if you were mafia...you'd be claiming you are townie...just like you are doing right now.

Would you really say...I'm mafia so don't vote for me?

 

Reasons for voting for you...

1. You clearly haven't been following the game.

2. I strongly suspect mole as mafia and your 5th vote ensured he would not get lynched.

3. You are really defensive...a trait I normally see with mafia players.

4. You guessed the wrong page of the hint I saw...(maybe you're just a townie that guessed wrong?)

I was careful at it.

 

I protected the same guy that didn't thank me for saving him.

the reason number 1 is going for you too, i have been leaving hints over my last post and you haven't figured out.

for the 2)i was voting true my bb , i didn't even read the other post, or read who was the guy that was going to get lynched, i just voted no-lynch because i didn't had proof againts anyone else.

for the 3) Im a bit defensive all the time, that doesn't indicate that im a mafia, that's how i play.

for the 4) Im just a townie that guessed wrong thats all

 

See you guys then tonight, will be going for work and i won't be able to post from there.

Kasabian, if that was a direct quote

not only were you not reading some of the posts, you were also not reading the rules :facepalm:

 

Unvote

I see but it doesn't mean that Mole may be scum since you protected somebody else.

Alasdair seems to be MIA :​|

 

yeah seems so. i'll give him until i get home tonight to show up and contribute or he'll get replaced...

 

as for Kasabian's claim: he asked me beforehand if what he posted was ok and i said yes.

 

Edit: not saying he actually is the doc though. :D

Edited by Narsis

Since no one counter claims Kasabian's role...

 

I'm going back to my D1 suspect.

 

Unvote

Vote: Molestargazer.

Vote: Molestargazer.

For a moment assuming that Kasabian is lying, I would hope our doc has more sense than to counterclaim. Should the real doc die somewhere in the process, we can then proceed to lynch Kasabian. No reason to sacrifice himself tonight.

 

Anyway, assuming the scum didn't set up this claim pretty brilliantly, I'm going to believe him. There is a doc, so the claim is far too dangerous otherwise.

unvote.

 

So back to scum hunting. There are/were some interesting things going on, so I'm not going to meddle too much at this point. But I will bring forth a new lynch target.

vote Nerau

 

He was not trying to hint he was the doc, that was a clear claim. Anyway, I especially didn't like the tentative choice you made. Sure you agreed with what the town was about to do (lynch our doc) but you were not willing to commit. Sounds a little convenient too me. Especially considering Kasabian just claimed doc and you still thought him the better choice for a lynch target.

KevinH list...

 

  • Molestargazer + Alasdair + Kasabian = 43
  • Molestargazer + Nerau + Kasabian = 44
  • Chaoshawk + Ccabal86 + Kasabian = 43
  • Chaoshawk + Ccabal86 + Alasdair = 44
  • Chaoshawk + Kaziocore + Nerau = 43

 

Well since Kasa roleclaimed doc...the math no longer supports that mole is mafia (provided that the post counts are correct/valid).

So if Kasa and mole are townie...then I would focus on this group.

 

Chaoshawk + Ccabal86 + Alasdair = 44

 

When the mid-day update was still an option...both Chaoshawk and Ccabal86 ramped up their post counts.

Both then wanted the update after they posted some more.

 

My first post count on pg 3 and I mentioned about requesting an update ASAP a few posts later...

 

1. molestargazer - 2+4+

2. Chaoshawk - 2+1+

3. CanucksDynasty - 7+1+2

4. Nerau - 0+2+

5. ccabal86 - 0+2+

6. KevinH - 2+4+2

7. Kasabian - 0+2+

8. Alasdair - 0+0+

9. Martino - 0+0+1

10. Kaziocore - 0+1+1

 

Now let's take a look at the recent post per page...

 

1. molestargazer - 2+4+2+0+3+0

2. Chaoshawk - 2+1+1+1+3+1

3. CanucksDynasty - 7+1+7+4+2+1

4. Nerau - 0+2+0+1+2+0

5. ccabal86 - 0+2+2+2+0+2

6. KevinH - 2+4+2+2+4+2

7. Kasabian - 0+2+0+2+1+0

8. Alasdair - 0+0+2+1+0+0

9. Martino - 0+0+1+1+2+0

10. Kaziocore - 0+1+1+3+2+0

 

 

Difference of...

1. molestargazer +5

2. Chaoshawk +6

3. CanucksDynasty +12

4. Nerau +3

5. ccabal86 +6

6. KevinH +8

7. Kasabian +3

8. Alasdair +3

9. Martino +3

10. Kaziocore +5

 

 

Not to mention that they both bandwagoned voted Kasa (with the 3rd and 4th vote).

Perhaps this time they needed/wanted a lynch?

Perhaps instead of Alasdair...I would possibly go with this combo (if some posts were not included, etc)...

 

Chaoshawk + Ccabal86 + Nerau = 45

yeah seems so. i'll give him until i get home tonight to show up and contribute or he'll get replaced...

 

as for Kasabian's claim: he asked me beforehand if what he posted was ok and i said yes.

 

Edit: not saying he actually is the doc though. :D

 

Sorry guys, RL got in the way. Lots of drama with work and trying to find a new job.

 

What'd I miss? :P

Ok: what if Kasabian is simply not telling the truth, lol. Why should we belive him? Also about "ramping up post counts"...Uni is back, I have less time/energy/will to post after hard days and more after relatively easy ones. I wouldn't draw such bold conclusions based on activity periods, as the reason for those can be strongly RL-based.

 

But fine, let's go with the theory that Kasabian and molestargazer are townie (I highly doubt it, but w/e). These are the remaining combos:

 

- Chaoshawk + Ccabal86 + Alasdair = 44

- Chaoshawk + Kaziocore + Nerau = 43

 

There is one common name there: Chaoshawk

 

So why not vote for him then? If we do, we have a bigger chance of catching a scum.
