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.

Assuming Kazio tally is correct...

 

I think it clears Nerau of any suspicion since he has the least posts.

Also on D1 tally...KevinH calculation cleared Martino as well.

 

Townies

CD

Nerau

Martino

 

Unknown

CH

ccabal86

Kaziocore

mole

 

D2 vote count

Kasabian (6) - ChaosHawk, molestargazer, Kaziocore, Nerau, Alasdair, ccabal86

ChaosHawk (3) - Kasabian, Martino, KevinH

Not Voting (1) - CanucksDynasty

 

 

ccabal86 vote prevented any chance of Kasabian surviving the lynch.

One of the combo that KevinH had was...

Chaoshawk + Ccabal86 + Alasdair = 44

 

 

Since I sincerely doubt we have 2 docs...

 

 

 

Vote: Chaoshawk

If you remember, my very first vote in this game (also very early on) was for Alasdair, who turned out to be mafia. If I were mafia too, I would have voted on a townie.

 

It's called a distancing vote so that you can use this excuse.

Here are the total post counts for each person:

 

Alive

78 CanucksDynasty

35 molestargazer

32 ccabal86

32 Chaoshawk

26 Kaziocore

24 Martino

19 Nerau

 

Dead

71 KevinH

34 Kasabian

14 Alasdair

 

 

It would be a good idea for you guys to start spreading the post counts.

You guys are too bunched up to make full use of the battlefield update.

Unofficial Vote Count

Chaoshawk (3) - ccabal86, molestargazer, CanucksDynasty

 

Not Voting (4) - Chaoshawk, Kaziocore, Martino, Nerau

 

Only need 1 more vote to lynch Chaoshawk.

However, like Martino said...let's discuss things a bit first.

 

 

As for the 3rd mafia...I would think it's ccabal86.

He placed the 4th vote on Kasa before he roleclaimed.

And the 6th vote on Kasa after he roleclaimed.

 

Also when the mid-day update was still a consideration...both Chaoshawk and ccabal86 ramped up their post count.

Something I would think mafia would do.

Vote: Chaoshawk

 

Yes very suspicious indeed! CD openly followed me to destroy Kasabian after using a silly reason such as the percentage for townies to win. He may have fooled KevinH but not I.

What gives you the idea that it is molestargazer?

 

This is going off the fact that Alasdair and Chaoshawk are scum:

 

The first battlefield update only showed moderate town advancement. At that time, the top 3 posters had significantly more posts than the rest of us. Alasdair barely had a few posts and Chaoshawk was in the mid-tiers. Now, if all 3 of the top 3 posters were townies, I'd have expected the town to gain more ground.

 

I highly suspect the day 1 top 3 had a scum in their ranks. Since KevinH turned out to be townie, and I sincerely believe CD is too, that leaves molestargazer as the mafia suspect.

 

Also when the mid-day update was still a consideration...both Chaoshawk and ccabal86 ramped up their post count.

 

For me there are IRL reasons for that. There were a few days when I had more time to post. These days I don't.

Vote: Chaoshawk

:suicidebastard:

Self-lynch.

 

I should have unvoted...gah.

It looks like I killed myself.

 

I'm sure you did it on purpose so that we wouldn't have more time for discussion.

And to make sure your scum buddy didn't get grilled and make a slip-up.

And in light of that, consider this: The suspicion is currently on me. If I were scum, would my teammate be in such a hurry to end the day, ending the discussion and preventing me from defending myself?

My partner is smart enough not to slip- up I'm sure and knows what to do.

And in light of that, consider this: The suspicion is currently on me. If I were scum, would my teammate be in such a hurry to end the day, ending the discussion and preventing me from defending myself?

 

Yeah...keep adding to the post count why don't cha?

I bet you add just enough to be the same post count as mole too.

imo vote mole, he's a creeper this game and constantly wants to kill? Isn't that unlike a disciplined soldier!? Also, I'm sure you can discuss until the official post from Narsis is here.

LOL

 

First i must say a lot of firsts in this game

 

The suspicion is currently on me. If I were scum, would my teammate be in such a hurry to end the day, ending the discussion and preventing me from defending myself?

 

it depends on the strategy

 

a quick lynch can be helpful and hurt also

 

its helps by keeping information conclead

 

it hurts b/c it doesn't allow for disscussion that can both help or hurt the town

 

but quick lynches typically in my opinion don't help the town

Random Fact: Day 3 was shorter then Night 2!

 

The "First and Last VC of Day 3" VC

 

ChaosHawk (4) - ccabal86, molestargazer, CanucksDynasty, ChaosHawk

 

Not voting (3) - Kaziocore, Nerau, Martino

 

As the day began, it quickly became evident who everyone suspected. ChaosHawk was going to die today. But before they removed him, they decided to do a little discussion and a bit more investigating. But ChaosHawk...he wouldn't have any of that.

 

Quickly, he pulled a remote detonator out of his pocket. Depressing the switch, an explosion echoed across the area. He then drew his pistol, taking aim at someone nearby...

 

Moving quickly, the group tackled him and tried to tear the gun out of his hands. A wicked grin suddenly crossed ChaosHawk's face, and he pulled the trigger. His brains left a stain on a nearby wall.

 

2LT ChaosHawk of the Huscarl Platoon, and Mafia Godfather, lynched Day 3.

 

It is now Night 3. Night actions in to me by Oct 6th please.

  • Author

It was what most would call a normal night by now. Most of it was quiet, then a huge gunfight started somewhere. In the morning you found...

 

2LT Martino of the 85th Platoon, and a Vanilla Townie, has been outmaneuvered Night 3.

 

Day 4 beings. Deadline is the 16th. With 5 alive it takes 3 to lynch.

Edited by Narsis

Ok

 

Time to play Senarios

 

Assuming:

Remaining : SK , MF 3 Townies

 

If town hits a townie

 

then it becomes SK, MF 2 Townies, then if SK kills a townie and Mafia Kills a townie

 

We have a SK and MF remaining on day 5 which would result in a Mafia win

 

If town hits a townie

 

then it becomes SK, MF 2 Townies, then if SK kills the maifa and Mafia Kills the SK

 

We have a 2 Townies remaining on day 5 which would result in a Town win

 

If town hits the SK

 

then it becomes MF 3 Townies, then Mafia Kills a townie

 

We have a and MF remaining on day 5 and the game would continue unless win conditions are met

 

If town hits the Mafia

 

then it becomes SK, 3 Townies, then if SK kills a townie

We have a SK and 2 townies remaining on day 5 which would result in a Town win

 

Tl:dr

 

Town wins tommorrow if town kills mafia and they pass the win requirment

Town wins tommorrow also if town kills town and mafia kills SK and they pass win requirement

Mafia wins if town kills the town and Leaves SK alive after NK and they pass the win requirment

Games continues if town lynches SK today

 

So basically its Lynch or lose and its not depending on how the game plays out

I'm not too convinced that we have a sk.

Why didn't we see 2 nightkills?

We may have a vigilante (pro-town).

 

The only known townie power role is doc (now dead).

Against a mafia godfather and mafia roleblocker.

 

There should be 1 more mafia otherwise there wouldn't really be a need for a godfather.

Having a sk with 3 mafia and only 1 townie power role is not really balanced (IMO).

 

Therefore I think we have 4T vs 1M left.

 

The battlefied % should help narrow down the suspect list.

With the post count tally...I'm betting it'll be either mole or ccabal86.

Tally up to D3 night scene (not including D4 posts).

 

Alive

78 + 6 = 84 CanucksDynasty

35 + 1 = 36 molestargazer

32 + 4 = 36 ccabal86

26 + 2 = 28 Kaziocore

19 + 2 = 21 Nerau

 

Dead

71 KevinH

32 + 6 = 38 Chaoshawk

34 Kasabian

24 + 4 = 28 Martino

14 Alasdair

First off: I too believe we have a vigilante and not a serial killer, otherwise we'd probably had 2 nightkills this time as well.

 

@ CD: I've been suspicious of molestargazer ever since the first battlefield update yielded only moderate town advancement. Just think about it: At that time the top 3 posters (you, KevinH, molestargazer) had significantly more posts than the rest. If all 3 of you were townies, I'm sure the town would have gained more land. My suspicion is only reinforced by the fact that scum #1: Alasdair was basically inactive and scum #2: Chaoshawk only had a moderate postcount at the end of Day 1. This means that scum #3 had to be a very active person.

 

Since I sincerely believe you're a townie and KevinH was poven to be one, this only really leaves molesatrgazer as our last suspect. It's also ineresting that he went rather quiet lately, especially since a few of us started pressuring for his lynch. It's like he's trying to get out of focus.
