The game thread is closed during the Night. The Goblins may speak to each other at Night. All Active Roles may submit actions via PM at Night.

The Goblins can, as a faction, kill one player at Night.

After the Night, the game goes to Day.

All dead players (lynched or killed) can no longer participate the game.

Basic rules for maintaining the integrity of the game thread are in effect (i.e. players may not quote their Role PMs, nor may they discuss the game outside the game thread unless otherwise permitted, etc.)

The game is comprised of Goblins (mafia) and the Company (town).

The game is won when only one faction remains in the game, or nothing can prevent the same.

The Company had been formed. Their mission was to recover treasure, but their immediate need was to make it past the Goblins.

 

Bombur, Vanilla Dwarf (NPC), had been killed. The Company needs to find the Goblins in their midst.

 

It is Day 1. Deadline is Saturday, February 2.

 

With 12 alive, it takes 7 to lynch, or 4 at deadline.

Goblins v Dwarfs 'eh? I like it.

 

Don't worry townies, I got this one.

 

Vote: Killgor

 

He has the most goblin-like name out of any of us, he must be scum!

Man, i hope this game doesn't contain any spoilers to the book/movie since i have yet to read or watch it. Maybe i should get on that

I like the early votes but..

 

Vote:No lynch

oooh man... and i thought i wasn't quite ugly enough to be confused with goblins... :/

 

 

vote: noah

 

cause that's what me shutting my eyes and pointing at names gave me

Man, gotta be suspicious of Karl since he hasn't read the book, but anyway I would vote for some time to hear what people have to say before voting to lynch anyone just yet.

 

I'm also slightly confused how there would be a gun for the gunsmith to detect, since gunpowder wasn't discovered yet in Middle Earth, but that's just me being a super nerd

Vote: Electric Mango

 

I'm still butt hurt over last round and as long as were being random. I'm starting with the mango!

 

 

But in all seriousness, how many scum are we expecting Kevin to have put in here? 3?

Since I'm here, let's play how mafia is really played :P/>/>

 

@d3mon: You say you want early votes but right now you vote no lynch. Care for an explanation?

 

People this is the Random Voting Stage. I will quote the wiki

The purpose of random voting is to spur the game into action by causing players to act in revealing ways. For instance, a wagon on someone may cause them to panic, or a player may become a bit overeager in wanting to put votes down on players, or a player may suggest a Policy Lynch on another one (with some players agreeing and some disagreeing), etc. In this way, events of significance can come about. The first time many players find something they seriously want to lynch someone over, they will remark that their vote is "no longer random".

 

Obligatory Random Vote: Vote: Rafay

Vote: Electric Mango

Most likely 3.

The guns produced by the gunsmith is just for flavor. It's possible that he could make bow and arrows instead of guns. The important thing is the essence of the role.

MOD: Mass claim means you can't say who your character is right but you can say what your power is?

karl has not read LoTR?!?!? This is quite unbelievable..he must be ....lying!!

 

vote: xx karl xx

 

Good luck guys.

MOD: Mass claim means you can't say who your character is right but you can say what your power is?

The names are only for flavor so feel free to reveal them.

The intent of the no mass-claiming rule is to not have everyone give their power and then discover some broken combination that probably exists. If a few players want to reveal roles, that is acceptable. In fact, some roles would be best played if they were revealed early.

Vote: Electric Mango 4 trying 2 start a faster game trend.

So you want this game to stagnate?

Guess I'll jump on the bandwagon.

'Sup company! After KevinH assigned Imran, Killgor, Chaplain, and myself the task of carrying this freak'n treasure-full metal crate (he told us it would only be a chest) weighing as much as a ship cargo container while the rest of you took point ahead equipped with night goggles in search of goblinscum, we stopped for rest under the shade of this wide oak tree at which time I got to thinking. I looked at KevinH's list given to us and noticed that those of us carrying this freak'n crate are assigned prime numbers! It would be just like KevinH to do that to designate us as non-goblinscum cuz of his pension for machivellian numerology.

Since I have this gift of Odd-night Watcher I'm looking for suggestions from the rest of us during the remainder of the day as to who I should watch tonight.

Edited January 22, 201313 yr by Xarastier

From mafia wiki:

 

The Watcher is an informative role that can target a player at Night and learn who, if anybody, targeted that player the same Night (but not what actions were performed on that player).

 

You should keep your target private. If scum knows who you'll target they will not pick the same person as you. That said, a lot of mafia like to target more experienced mafia players to gain an advantage over the group.

 

Unvote: Kilgor

Vote: Rafay

Might as well have 2 people with multiple votes on them to make things interesting 'eh?

@d3mon: You say you want early votes but right now you vote no lynch. Care for an explanation?

 

I like early votes because it builds interest in the game and promotes discussion. I voted no lynch because its the first day and without anything to go on, we are more likely to lynch a townie.

lol.... i had no idea i was carrying a metal crate full of treasure after me... i must be stronger than i thought.

 

anyway, does that mean that us four can be taken off the suspect list? that would be nice but i don't think so. i mean, telling a townie off the bat that 3 other people are confirmed townies doesn't go well with the uninformed majority part.

Vote: Imran for saying LoTR and not The Hobbit. they are completely different, so he's being scummy and confusing everyone!

Wait, so Karl, have you read LotR and not the Hobbit? Because with most people it's the other way around since the hobbit is a lot shorter and meant for a younger audience. Anyways, it seems like there is at least some good night roles that can provide good information, I just say wait a day before lynching anyone.

 

Vote: No lynch

No alternate, i haven't read either of the series. i have seen the LotR movies, but not the hobbit movie. i was just giving imran a hard time lol
