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.

Fact: One of you is lying (Kasa or CH).

Fact: CH correctly identified the winning % on the battlefield for townies (or close enough to avoid a mod-kill).

Fact: CH voted for Kasa

Fact: Kasa voted NO-LYNCH!!!!

 

Why on earth would a townie not vote for a known mafia?

 

 

Kasa mentioned that he dropped hints that he was medic before being asked to roleclaim. He was already getting 4 votes before he dropped the hints. Perhaps this was his way to save his own hide. I saw no hints in his previous posts on D1.

I think you're putting a little too much trust into that part. The winning % was more or less known to everybody after I explained why I picked p.3 for KevinH's hint.

 

@KevinH not necessarily. If we lynch Kasabian and he turns out to be scum, I'm sure they'll kill CH tonight and vice versa. The more interesting choice comes when we go for a no lynch. Then I believe they are still forced to take out our doc or risk our cop roaming free at nights. But they may decide that giving away which of CH/Kasa is the doc put them at a too great disadvantage and kill one of us/CD. I'm still inclined to force the scum to make the difficult decision for us.

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

If Kasabian is scum (and Chaoshawk is townie by competing doc claim), then Molestargazer must be scum.

If Kasabian is townie, then Chaoshawk must be scum.

 

If we lynch Mole, the doc will definitely be alive.

If the mafia kills the doc, we would probably have certain knowledge of scum.

And we'll have a dead cop by the morning. It's a rather important side effect.

 

Are you saying that mafia knows who the cop is?

I think you're putting a little too much trust into that part. The winning % was more or less known to everybody after I explained why I picked p.3 for KevinH's hint.

 

I'm inclined to agree with this statement and about people catching the 'hint' from the day before. Nonetheless Kasabian forced the situation of conflicting docs by claiming my role as we was being lynched. Also, Canucks the cop has been lying hints himself about his role for a while now so I wouldn't be surprised they would know.

 

I personally believe lynching molestar, at this point, does make sense and keeps the doctor alive for certain in the next day by the reasoning they wouldn't want to immediately out their own man between us two. However, a mafia roleblocker (as mentioned earlier) could simply block me from saving from then on now they that the real doc has been outted or kill me if they can not do that. A stalker would be just as bad and our cop would be even less safe.

 

I'd also like to hear opinions of people such as ccbal, Nerau and Alasadair who have been lingering and not adding to this for a while or when they do post they simply repeat what has been said or nothing worth knowing.

I'm feeling oblivious.

 

I don't see how Kasabian being the doc reveals the cop.

 

Maybe Kasabian and Chaoshawk are both scum and they hope that the death of one puts implicit trust in the other.

 

I reviewed the posts and could not see where a cop would be revealed as well.

It could be that I don't see what Martino sees.

No one else but Martino and you have advocated a no-lynch.

AND I extremely doubt that either of you are the cop.

 

Highly doubtful that both are scum and both are claiming doc.

Otherwise the real doc would know both are lying.

That's because you guys are doing all the work for us, keep doing what you're doing :speak_cool: In reality, I'm very busy these days, don't have much time go give this a lot of thought. :(

 

I am quite confident at this point however that mole and Kasa are scum.

That won't matter if the doc never says a peep and ultimately is anti-town. It's an odd theoretical situation and does not seem to be the case.

IF Kasabian is our doc, then I believe so yes.

 

Will the answer be NO if Kasabian is not the doc?

Not exactly a good habit to fall into (if you can help it) I understand.

I doubt it, too, but it would be a really good play. Maybe there is no doc.

 

Attacks, counterattacks, feints, and flanking...none of it seems to work anymore.

 

Maybe there is more going on than I know. I'll role-claim that I am just a vanilla townie. Trust me on this.

If it's D4 and you haven't been nightkilled.

You must be scum :awesome:

 

Unless you're a clever mafia...then I would have assumed you were a vanilla townie anyways.

(Note: I only checked that the tally was correct and not the math)

Will the answer be NO if Kasabian is not the doc?

I won't know if Kasabian is not the doc. The mafia has a little more information, so they may still know. Which is another part of the reason I for a moment suggested a cop roleclaim, to even out the information between us.

 

The thing is though, that it seems like I was the only one to read some comments a certain way. I would have to go back and reread the last few pages to see if my initial feeling is right, but I won't have enough time before Saturday.

I don't think you are the only one.

It seems that CH thinks the cop dropped some hints.

I had a look and I think I know who you all are talking about.

 

Regardless...I still think that lynching one of them (preferably Kasa) is the best course of action.

It will lead to 1 dead mafia and 1 dead doc (and a dead townie via nightkill if we mislynch).

Going on a little trip this weekend (Friday to Monday).

So I'll be back on Tuesday.

I'll try to log on at the hotel but I sincerely doubt I get th

While I'm pretty sure that Kasa is scum...since I am gone and will have limited access....I don't know if I'll be able to respond to scummy posts on deadline.

Therefore I will unvote and hope the rest of the town can pick up the slack in my absence.

 

Unvote

Yeah we'll figure out how to get the ball rolling without two of the active townies :P
