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.

Night 1: Kasabian

Night 3: Martino

 

so yeah he didnt really learn much of anything helpful. :P

 

He tracked Kasabian...so he knows he did something but not what.

Correct?

 

It would explain why mole voted for Kasa after the counterclaim by CH.

yes that's correct.

 

also when either things clear up for me or mole one of us will start the next game. unless anyone else wants to take a crack at modding?

Ha ha...so you lucked out on the shot.

I thought you saw some tell from Alasdair.

Good shooting anyways.

 

 

Everyone's game has improved.

Or maybe I'm just getting worse.

I really couldn't scum-hunt this game.

Your clearing of people due to a 'hint' in day one and clearing me of being mafia due to knowing the win percentages was startlingly to me, other then that with the statistics you were an asset to the town. I kept you alive simply because you helped me lynch Kasabian. :)

Yeah...that was my bad.

It over-rided my judgement.

There was one post of yours that raised question marks to me...but I never really pushed for an explanation.

 

 

It was a last resort it seems for Kasabian to save himself and out the true doc. KevinH proved very valuable this game and it appears they targeted him or no killed. Since CD and KevinH were confirmed townies I knew mole was mafia and tried to keep out of his spotlight and the enmity between him and CD.It would be very scummy of him to kill CD with the little feud and tension between the two. I'd figure the third(assuming its three mafia and no third party or is the third party) one is either Martino or Alasdair and leaning towards the latter since he hasn't been very helpful.

 

 

The bolded part raised alarm bells to me.

I should have listened to them.

Basically I thought to myself...

How in the world would you know that CD, KevinH were confirmed townies?

You would have only known CD and KevinH were townies on the battlefield update.

And how would you know mole was mafia if you were the doc?

Nagging questions that I didn't follow up on.

My bad.

I'd like to apologise here for my lack of activity in thread.

Mafia playing is, well, turning into a bit of a chore for me, and with RL ramping up recently I don't particularly have the time or inclination.

 

With NaNoWriMo coming up and my courses at University about to kick in properly, I'd rather not mod the next game and have you guys face constant delays with vote counts, etc etc etc. I would happy to Co-Mod, backup-mod, or review setups for anyone who wants to have a go at modding though.

The dreaded RL monster strikes again.

 

I'll be on vacation during end October to Mid November.

So I won't be around to play or mod.

 

After I get back...I wouldn't mind mod-ding a game or two.

 

CD.

off topic:

 

about NaNoWriMo: you finishing up what you did before or starting completely new?

 

It just so happened that the next day, Kasabian became too defensive so he became more suspicious to me and

add the false doc claim of CH.

 

Haha, i told ya i play like that, you know, this is a game, i hope you didn't take it personal.

Sometimes there is a game where you just can't seem to get it right. I particularly remember a mafia vs werewolves game here where I lead the town to three or four consecutive townies lynches.

 

That being said, I am happy with my reads throughout this game but a little dissapointed in my persuasive ability. Especially the quick lynch was disappointing. Why did the townies feel the need to quickly vote there?

 

Also, I wouldn't mind modding a game. Would you prefer a relatively vanilla game or something a bit different? I actually still have something related to mole's last plane crash mafia that I want to try out. But since I haven't tried it before, the balance may not be perfect.

I want to try something different with some roles that I haven't seen before.

I... still don't know, heh.

I would quite like to finish it off, but last year's story was a little unrefined, and I didn't do any (or, very much) development of the characters so it all seemed a little bland.

Starting something new strikes my fancy, but I don't know what to write about, at all, yet. Maybe I'll get inspiration nearer the time.

 

@Martino - Shoot me a PM with it and I'll take a look, if you like.

Your reads on CH and Nerau were spot on.

I ended suspecting our doc and tracker as mafia.

:facepalm:

 

Meh...at least I knew they weren't vanilla townies. :rolleyes:

Thanks, I still need to write part of it out, I'll do that this weekend and then sent you a message. The balancing will also partly depend on the number of people signing up.

I'll be on that game!

 

I'd prefer something a bit different
