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.

Unfortunately, I'm in the same boat as ccabal right now. I'll try to drop in a bit more this weekend though.

 

When did the cop pop up?

Nobody seems to be too sure about the cop thing, from what I can see- While Kasa's roleclaim is debatable, Martino.... well.

 

Did Martino roleclaim too, or did he just mention it?

 

Maybe I'll have to go find that, but I don't know if I have time to read that far back...

The "I'm Too Tired to Think of a Witty Title" VC:

 

Kasabian (3) - ChaosHawk, molestargazer, Kaziocore

molestargazer (2) - KevinH, ccabal86

No Lynch (2) - Kasabian, Martino

 

Not voting: Alasdair, CanucksDynasty, Nerau

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?

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

This is the first mention of a cop and I still don't understand from where the logic comes.

Honestly, I don't really see the cop thing either. Or at least I sure as hell didn't see any "hints" that would suggest there is one.

 

About the votes: I'm not going to no-lynch vote this time. I'm leaving my vote on molestargazer for now, but I'm going to vote for kasabian if he ties with no-lynch at deadline.

I would vote no-lynch if it got enough support.

I don't think it's necessary since there's a guaranteed scum lynch between Molestargazer and Chaoshawk.

 

You mean tomorrow?

Anyway, I too couldn't see who Martino is referring to

I don't think who might be the cop neither, i think what was mentioned was that the cop shouldn`t roleclaim not that the cop claimed already.

As I follow the logic ...

 

If Kasabian is doc

then mafia know the cop

then cop is dead tomorrow

 

(I was so tempted to turn that into poetry)

 

Your logic is correct indeed

 

As i said a few days ago,i was going to place my vote before the deadline.

 

Unvote

 

Here it's:

Vote: Chaoshawk

I'd rather get the day over and move on to more information tomorrow.

 

I thought I made a convincing case that either Molestargazer or Chaoshawk is scum. That's a 50-50 chance of hitting scum in the next lynch and 100% chance of getting one scum in two days.

 

Meanwhile, there are competing claims by Kasabian and Chaoshawk to be the doc.

 

Now back to the story ...

Chaoshawk is the other side of my "sure thing."

 

If he were to get lynched first and be townie, then Molestargazer is the next lynch candidate.

 

This is the move that has to be make, it'll proof to you that mole is a townie (which i strongly believe he is)

When's deadline?

 

MOD: If deadline's within a day, extension pretty please?

 

Someone like to fill me in on what's happened?

 

out of the kindness of my heart, i'll extend deadline until Tuesday(Sept 28th). that should be enough time for the people that disappeared this weekend to get back and get their thoughts in before a lynch happens(if any).

I have seen enough as well. It seems like the no lynch is not going to happen. I'd rather keep Kasabian alive for at least another night, so:

vote ChaosHawk

Either way we gain plenty information.

Unvote.

Vote: Chaoshawk

 

I've been saying either Molestargazer or Chaoshawk, so I'll change to where it might happen.

I dunno... I'm highly curious to know whether Mole is a townie like he claims, or.... whatever else he's been claiming...

 

I would vote Mole, but I'm not a huge advocate for throwing my vote away on an obviously small margin. I'm probably going to be contemplating the idea of voting him out tomorrow. :/

 

And since I don't agree with a lot of the logic rolling around in this thread...

 

Vote: Kasabian

 

 

Now hopefully he really is a mafia, with those votes.
