    POSSIBLE ROLES

    TOWN

    1 King:
    The king knows nothing. His goal is to stay alive to win. He must also make sure that the assassin is dead.

    4 Guards:
    They all know who the king is, but not who everybody else is. They must kill the assassin and keep the king alive to win.

    MAFIA

    1 Assassin:
    His goal is find out who the king is and kill him. When he figures out who he wants to kill, he launches a suicide attack in the day. If he kills the King, he wins, otherwise if he didn't pick the king, he loses and town wins.

    RULES

    • There will be no talking outside of this thread.
    • Non-game players MAY NOT post in this thread.
    • Players must vote in the day to decide who to lynch. Once a majority has been reached, that person is automatically lynched. Players CANNOT vote for a No Lynch.
    • There is no night phase. After every lynch, we reveal if the town has successfully lynched the assassin. If not, we move to the next day. The only way for the assassin to win is to figure out who the king is and launch a suicide attack on him. Unless he manages to lynch to King (which is impossible, since all guards know who the King is).
    • There is no time limit.
    • Do not quote / screenshot any PM you receive. You may paraphrase any information you receive via PM, though.
    • When the assassin is successfully lynched, it's as if he has the final opportunity to launch his suicide attack and possibly kill the king to win the game.
    • DO NOT EDIT YOUR POSTS. Use double-posting instead.

    VOTING


    Voting MUST be formatted as follows:

    Vote: Player

    I will not count a vote if it is not bolded, even if your vote is clearly stated.

    You can also request a prod of a certain player publicly.

    No time limit.

    With 6 alive, it takes 4 to lynch. Good luck!

  5. Zombo
    Date: Sat, Sep 29 2007 05:27:33

    when an user is inactive, players can ask prod: player in the thread. Then I send a pm to the player telling him to wake up. If he doesn't reply, he gets replaced.

    i don't really know a strategy for this version of mafia..
    so..i'll ask a simple question and anyone can answer the question IF they want to

    1. did the king change from the previous one? (from the one where that guy got disqualified)
    2. if the king did change..to who??lol

  7. Erirornal K.

    You should know if you're a guard or a king, so yeah... Mafia? Really stupid question otherwise. tongue.gif

    Well.. I don't know the first question. I was assassin before the role changes tongue.gif
    (second time I was mafia ever, both times the roles were re-done (aargh))
    but yeah, there is no reason to ask when you're a guard or king...

    please don't rely on the information of the old mafia game, the lineups are completely random every time, there's no association between the two.

    any idea how we should start?

    Ok, just read over the thread

    WTF Whitefang?

    don't tell me the game is going to end already...

  14. toast
    Date: Sat, Sep 29 2007 14:53:28

    Dude if you don't know who the king is, that means your the mafia...

    all guards know who the king is, and the king knows that he is the king.

    Not knowing the answers to these questions means you do not know who the king is

    All guards know who he is, and the king knows he's king.

    If you are not a guard, then you must be the mafia...

  17. WhiteFang
    Date: Sat, Sep 29 2007 15:04:56

    just because i asked the question doesn't mean i don't know the answer to the question..hmm?
    eg. wat's 1+1=??

  18. toast
    Date: Sat, Sep 29 2007 15:07:54

    oh, sorry i guess i misinterpreted your post.

    But still, giving up the identity of the king allows the mafia to kill him :rollseye:

  19. WhiteFang
    Date: Sat, Sep 29 2007 15:14:54

    since there is no day and night..
    if noone votes..assassin won't be able to kill anyone right?

  20. toast
    Date: Sat, Sep 29 2007 15:20:30

    uh..

    I think because there is no night phase for the Mafia to kill, he can kill anytime he wants to.

  21. Zombo
    Date: Sat, Sep 29 2007 15:20:37

    whitefang you misunderstood how the game is played. It's basically impossible for the king to be lynched, because that would be stupid.

    Please read my first post, it says that the assassin can perform a suicide kill at any time to take down the king.

  22. ShortAssassin
    Date: Sat, Sep 29 2007 15:21:35

    Hey guys, sorry for not confirming earlier, coulda sworn I sent Zombo the PM. Anyway, I'll tell ya what happened that made us all get new roles when the game is over.

  23. WhiteFang
    Date: Sat, Sep 29 2007 15:24:26

    ohh..so assassins gets only one shot to kill someone? and if they hit one of the guards.. they're fucked?

  24. Zombo
    Date: Sat, Sep 29 2007 15:25:00

    that's right

  25. ShortAssassin

    It's generally a good idea to read the rules and make sure you understand them before the game starts...

    That has nothing to do with knowing/not knowing the rules. As for catching the assassin, I'd rather just trick him into killing the wrong person, but I think that would require to much coordination which is very difficulty to have considering we know so little.

  28. WhiteFang

    and i have read the rules..i just misunderstood it..i thought assassin kills each person every night and when he gets lynched then he gets to do the suicide kill..i admit that's my fault for not reading it carefully.

    this was just a question so you could explain urself more. because i just thought the assassin won't make a move until we actually lynch someone first.

    believe it or not, i reckon i have some idea who the assassin is

  31. ShortAssassin
    Date: Sat, Sep 29 2007 16:16:25

    Ok, you saying you confirmed an hour earlier makes much more sense now lol. I won't be talking about how to trick the assassin, because if he knows what we'd try to do he'll see right through it. It has to be a spontaneous thing that all the guards and the king picks up on.

  32. toast
    Date: Sat, Sep 29 2007 17:45:22

    something that the guards know that the assassin doesnt...

    Something like the identity of the king..

    but how do we weed down the mafia without publicly announcing (or making too obvious) the identity, without the assassin learning the identity of the king, then killing him?

    *shrug* this is difficult

  33. ShortAssassin
    Date: Sat, Sep 29 2007 18:07:37

    There are many ways to use our knowledge of who the king is to fool the assassin, it's just a matter of everyone (including the king himself) being able to catch onto the trick and go with it themselves.

  34. toast
    Date: Sat, Sep 29 2007 18:33:41

  35. Erirornal K.

    Because I was holding a party today, sorry guys.

    This basically seems a guessing game right now, the only thing we can wait for is the assassin to slip up?

  36. ShortAssassin

    I wish I were the assassin simply for the irony with my name but no such luck lol.

    And if we want a slip up we have to have some discussion going.

  39. toast
    Date: Sun, Sep 30 2007 13:43:20

    Ok.

    Let's start putting subliminal messages in our posts stating the identity of the king, while talking about something else, say movies.

    The message has to be obvious enough for other guards to pick up, but quiet enough so that the mafia doesn't.

    The one difference between a mafia and a guard is the fact that a guard knows the identity of the king, so maybe code it in a way that only one who knows the identity can pick up.












    loooooool im going loopy, this seems impossible

  40. WhiteFang
    Date: Sun, Sep 30 2007 14:11:15

    Viend is never active..sad.gif

    wat i think is the problem even if the guard knows the king and the assassin doesn't, we can't just ask a question to the guards something only they'd know because even if they do know the answer, they can't answer the question cause if they post the answer, assassin will simply see the answer and copy it. unless ur planning to ask everyone different question,.

    The problem with asking such questions is that it is easy for the assassin to know who is the king by looking at the answer.
    QUOTE

    that would be a better way because that way the assassin doesn't know where to look for the answers.

  42. ShortAssassin
    Date: Sun, Sep 30 2007 15:28:28

    I don't think subliminal messages are the way to go. Too risky. We're just gonna have to try and trick the mafia, try and determine who it is based on posts, or just lynch semi-randomly.

  43. martini
    Date: Sun, Sep 30 2007 16:57:28

    True.
    Lynching randomly is a bad idea though.
    Every lynch we make the more chance the assassin has to kill the king even if he doesn't know who it is.

    There's only 1 person who would be able to slip up, and that's the Assassin. I'm not the Assassin, so I don't have to worry about slipping up. Why wouldn't it be toast himself? He seems too afraid to slip up.

  62. martini

    Dude if you don't know who the king is, that means your the mafia...

    all guards know who the king is, and the king knows that he is the king.

    dude -___-

    toast suspected me as an assassin when i was the king.. which means toast doesn't know who the king is..
    but just to be sure..i wanted toast to suspect me again..so i asked a dum question about assassin i already knew the answer to..i wanted toast to try and blame me as an assassin to cover him up, but instead zombo thought i haven't read the rules and shortassassin thought i was the biggest noob. so i gave up on that plan.. mellow.gif

    well..yea..i am a noob anywayz..but i did kind of know that toast was the assassin.
    QUOTE
    believe it or not, i reckon i have some idea who the assassin is


    even though i suspected toast..but i couldn't just vote him without giving a decent reason. because i couldn't say 'vote:Toast Reason: suspecting king as an assassin' so i waited..then i realised viend was inactive..so i voted him for being inacitve.. ssst.gif
    then toast began to vote random people..so i took the chance and voted for him for voting random people. but he just killed himself..>.< WTF!!

    i guess.. even though i suspected who the assassin was i didn't do anything to help other players to know.. so i guess i'm still a noob

    now..2 questions

    1. wat happened that made us get new roles??
    2. Toast: why did you suicide martini?? you could've waited to be sure and even if you were sure it was martini, you could've waited until you actually got lynched,

    WhiteFang see why I voted for you? A guard wouldn't vote the King unless it's to trick the Assassin into suspecting someone else.

  74. ShortAssassin
    Date: Wed, Oct 3 2007 12:49:00

    Alright here's why we got new roles:

    I was king first game, and Cybrax was apparently one of my guards. So he got my screen name for AIM and IM'd me and started talking strategy and shit. I dunno bout you, but the fun in being the king is that you have no idea who anyone is, so knowing who one of my guards was makes the game less exciting. So I PM'd Zombo the conversation, and we got new roles.

  75. toast
    Date: Wed, Oct 3 2007 20:58:06

    Wow whitefang, you had me around in circles...

    Wow i was totally off track and played by you LOL

    Man, i was so sure about it..

    i had interpreted how everyone would play the game from each angle, for example how SA would play if he was king, Eriror, Viend, etc., but i never considered WhiteFang due to the rocky start from him. It also seemed like he didn't understand the roles and was a noob. T

    I started from the wrong track, and eventually I guess, played too simply, and didn't think deeply enough.

    From my past mafia game, I usually think too much and ended with the wrong conclusion, so I was much more shallow in this game. Especially since everyone was confused and was posting neutrally for so long.

    If you read over the posts without suspecting WhiteFang as the king, you would see why i voted for martini. I was sure so early in the game, I thought the guards hadn't boiled up a strategy.

    I ate everything up, and got overconfident. sad.gif

    I guess i did kill too early, but the game seemed to be going nowhere anyways. rolleyes.gif
