Kindergarten Mafia - Game over - Town wins!

[militant]

I energized Nag last night. I cannot remember all my night actions thus far, so I will try and see if S_L has them on record

[MountainLion]

it was half-random. i'd forgotten what happened that day, so i skimmed through. i noticed that there were people who had been suspicious of nagerous during the day, and decided he would be my target that night. bad move by me. i know.

I don't buy it. If you were a good pro-town player, you'd know your investigation would be incredibly important for today. Plus you already posted once before and didn't mention your investigation...why wait? If I was a cop, I'd give my results right away. My guess is you're scum and you needed time to come up with something good, but unfortunately for you, it wasn't good enough.

Vote mr. incrediball

[mr. incrediball]

I would like to know all of your actions since night one, same for you Militant.

since it's only been two nights since clive died, i believe i've given all my actions.

Vote mr. incrediball

first off: i never keep track of how many players are left in the game. my powers, whatever they are from game to game, never seem more important to me as nights go on. call that a bad strategy if you wish, but it's how i play.

secondly: i didn't give you my result because i wasn't asked. i wouldn't have liked to have been militant, if he'd posted his action before you told him not to.

and, finally, to skoffin: i put town in blue because i usually put my results into colours. "innocent" doesn't really sound right when describing town players, so i go by the name i always use. that does not mean that a) i recieved my result in blue or b) i'm quoting my pm when i say "innocent".

[MountainLion]

You continue to defend yourself with little success and don't appear to try to focus at all on finding the remaining scum...perhaps because you ARE the remaining scum. My vote stands.

Militant, it's up to you. Either vote MIB or help us find a better lead.

[Skoffin]

Eheheh I think we know who Mili will be voting. Afterall, the final scum is either him or MIB

[militant]

You continue to defend yourself with little success and don't appear to try to focus at all on finding the remaining scum...perhaps because you ARE the remaining scum. My vote stands.

Militant, it's up to you. Either vote MIB or help us find a better lead.

Right, So:

Skoffin is a claimed tracker.
MountainLion is a kid that plays risk, (townie) Got cleared by nag.
Mib claimed deputy.

I am a energizer, MountainLion is cleared, so this is it. Lynch or lose *Nervous face*

I have read through, and am not happy about the half random choice to investigate nag, it was quite clear he was going to get killed, being a flavour cop, so why would you chosse to investigate a person who is going to turn up dead The claim looks legit, but as I said when we lynched Cmc, the scum could have fake claims, but this is a power role, so I would not give that as a fake claim. It is as Skoffin said, a fairly small game, so I doubt the scum would have power role fake claims.

I am interested in this quote:

I tend to believe you Skoffin, but I won't vote just yet. Skoffin, you claimed tracker, but you didn't really say more than that about your role. Everyone else had more detail about their role...could you explain yours further please?

Skoffin, you did not reply to this, I also want to know more about your role, flavour as they call it.

I am not going to vote just yet, becasue if we lynch wrong, we lose, and MIb is not going to lynch himself, so Skoffin, I would like to hear from you please. Either of you could be the scum.

[MountainLion]

Good point militant, I forgot I asked that.

Unvote to hear Skoffin's reply.

BTW I was hoping you had energized either Skoffin or MIB and if they told us differently than you energizing them, we would have caught someone....oh well.

[Skoffin]

Wtf? I could have sworn I answered it already :s

Anyway, I am A kid playing tag. I love the game so much, so I am thrilled that now I can use it in class now. Each night I 'chase' someone around and end up following them to whereever they go in the night.

I believe it is fairly obvious I am telling the truth about being a tracker, why?:
I also cleared mountain, and he never disputed it when I claimed I followed him and he went nowhere.
I followed Nag and he confirmed he went to the person I said he did.
I claimed MIB went to Ga7 in the night, and he too confirmed this.

Either I am a tracker or I am damn good at making wild guesses.

[militant]

Ok, I beleive you, but just wanted to be sure al Lynch or lose

VOTE mib

[MountainLion]

Vote MIB

mr. incrediball - 3 (Skoffin, militant, MountainLion)

With 4 alive, it takes 3 votes to lynch.


mr. incrediball has been lynched.

I can tell you all that the game is over. Unfortunately, I'm at work right now and I want to take my time to write the end scene at home. I would like to ask the remaining mafia among the four players not to reveal him/herself yet, so I can keep everyone in suspense a bit longer. The scene should be up in about 9 hours from now.

And now, in a sudden twist, it is revealed that it was Mountlion all along! And Mili learns that he just lynched.. his father! dun dun dun!

[mr. incrediball]

GRAH!

I came THIS CLOSE to destroying you all!!!!!

[mr. incrediball]

oh, and mountainlion... you were really the doc, weren't you?

[Sierra_Leon]

I feel like bitchslapping a certain someone until he starts crying, for completely ignoring my request.

[MountainLion]

oh, and mountainlion... you were really the doc, weren't you?

Nope, I'm a townie just like I said. I gotta say I've NEVER lasted this long as a townie, lol. This game had an interesting setup. Well done S_L!

[ga7]

Heheh well done guys, good game SL I had a lot of fun. I thought I never was gonna get NKed as vanilla Kudos to MIB anyway, you're getting better at being scum

[Sierra_Leon]

The four of them looked each other in the eyes. This was the moment that would forever determine their fate; they were well aware of it. For mr. incrediball it meant he would finally be in full control of the class. They always called him names - four eyes, nerd, brace face, smart ass - but no more! His superior intellect had gotten him this far and it wouldn't fail him now! For Skoffin, militant and MountainLion it meant survival and getting life back to normal. The problem was that they couldn't be sure who to trust.

Skoffin had spent last night chasing around mr. incrediball and she saw him stopping by nagerous, who turned up dead the next day. That was proof enough for her. MountainLion and militant didn't have that much information to go on, but they decided to place their trust in Skoffin's hands. When they confronted mr. incrediball, he saw his masterplan shatter to pieces. How could they outsmart him, a kid genius?!

Desperately, he reached for the gun hidden in his back pocket. Before he got a chance to draw it, MountainLion jumped him like a... ehm... mountain lion . militant followed his example and released his energy in the form of a barrage of punches and kicks, leaving mr. incrediball bleeding. Skoffin calmly pulled the gun from mr. incrediball's pocked, put it to his head and slowly pulled the trigger. "Tag. You're it."

mr. incrediball - Kid genius (Mafia roleblocker) - has been lynched.


MountainLion - Kid playing RISK (Townie) - wins!
Skoffin - Kid playing tag (Tracker) - wins!
militant - Kid with Hyperkinetic Disorder (Energizer) - wins!

Iliad, ga7, nagerous, cmckinney, Clive, sam_levi_11, Anarkistsdream, william18 - Town - win!

[militant]

Awesome, thanks for a cool game S_L

*thumbs up*

[MountainLion]

"Tag. You're it."

Haha, good game Sierra.

I'm really surprised nagerous lasted as long as he did with Anark pointing him out as non-vanilla right away, but then again his investigations didn't really end up helping. MIB made a good play by calling "bullsh!t" on his scum buddy's fake claim.

[Sierra_Leon]

Setup:

3 mafia - Each has a different ability to use at night, so they all need to send in a night action. However, one of them has to make the night kill, preventing him from using his ability. They need to decide each night who makes the kill that night. They can choose not to kill if they all want to use their abilities (though I doubt that would be very useful). In order to enable the mafia to make use of the fact that there is no doctor without telling them this, they are given 3 unprotectable kills at their disposal.

6 pro-town power-roles - They have an active ability, so they can send in an action each night. One has the catch of instantly dieing when roleblocked.

4 pro-town vanilla's - Townies.

1 pro-town teacher - The teacher gets a townie PM, but has a passive ability without knowing it.

Roles:

You are a Kid with puppy eyes (Mafia godfather). The other people in your mafia are animorpherv1 and mr. incrediball. With those eyes of yours you can fool anyone into believing you're as innocent as a newborn lamb, but deep down inside you're a hateful merciless bully. You're always using your puppy eyes to get out of trouble. Wouldn't it be so much easier if you didn't need to get out of trouble in the first place? You and your friends plan to take control of the class, so you can go around bullying people without anyone stopping you!

Each night you may talk to animorpherv1 and mr. incrediball via Private Messages to discuss tactics and choose a victim from the rest of the players to kill. One of you must private message me who your victim will be before the deadline set for that night.

Your mafia is given 3 unprotectable kills at the start of the game. If you choose to use one, whoever sends in the kill should explicitely state that he wants to make the kill unprotectable. Any kind of protection from nightkills given to the victim will be useless against your kill if you use this ability.

Each of you has a special ability. The person sending me the nightkill target will be the one performing the kill himself and will not be able to use his ability that night. Your ability - when you're not performing the kill - is that a cop investigating you will get an innocent investigation on you instead of the guilty he would normally get.

You win when at least half of the class belongs to your mafia.

Using his godfather ability is an active choice, so it can be roleblocked. It can't be tracked though. He can only use it on himself.

You are a Kid running with scissors (Mafia framer). The other people in your mafia are lord voldemort and mr. incrediball. Your stupid teacher is always talking about how dangerous it is to run with scissors. You're guessing she's just never tried it yet or she'd be doing it too: it's so much fun! When you and your friends have taken control of the class, there will be nobody telling you what you can or can't do!

Each night you may talk to lord voldemort and mr. incrediball via Private Messages to discuss tactics and choose a victim from the rest of the players to kill. One of you must private message me who your victim will be before the deadline set for that night.

Your mafia is given 3 unprotectable kills at the start of the game. If you choose to use one, whoever sends in the kill should explicitely state that he wants to make the kill unprotectable. Any kind of protection from nightkills given to the victim will be useless against your kill if you use this ability.

Each of you has a special ability. The person sending me the nightkill target will be the one performing the kill himself and will not be able to use his ability that night. Note that when you send me the kill, your victim will be shown to have been killed with a pair of scissors. If any of your friends perform the kill, the victim will be shown to have been beaten to death. Your ability - when you're not performing the kill - is that you may target another player to frame. A cop investigating that player will get a guilty investigation on that player instead of the innocent he would normally get. Be wary of the teacher though! If you try to frame her, she will not be affected and she will even learn your identity!

You win when at least half of the class belongs to your mafia.

Framing a player means placing sciccors in their hands. A cop investigation on a framed player gives a guilty result. A role cop investigation on a framed player gives a 'kid holding a pair of scissors'.

You are a Kid genius (Mafia roleblocker). The other people in your mafia are lord voldemort and animorpherv1. You're not just smart, you're a genius! You even know Santa doesn't really exist, while all the other kids still believe in him. However, the other kids don't seem to respect that much. They're always calling you names. No more! You'll prove to them how smart you are. Together with your friends, you're going to take control of the class!

Each night you may talk to lord voldemort and animorpherv1 via Private Messages to discuss tactics and choose a victim from the rest of the players to kill. One of you must private message me who your victim will be before the deadline set for that night.

Any kind of protection from nightkills given to the victim will be useless against your kill if you use this ability.

Each of you has a special ability. The person sending me the nightkill target will be the one performing the kill himself and will not be able to use his ability that night. Your ability - when you're not performing the kill - is that you may target another player to roleblock. Your trick is telling them Santa doesn't exist: they'll be crying so hard they won't have anything else on their minds that night. Any night-action that player tried to perform will be nullified. Be wary of the teacher though! If you try to roleblock her, she will not be affected and she will even learn your identity!

You win when at least half of the class belongs to your mafia.

You are a Kid who watched 'Kindergarten Cop' (Cop). Just last week you saw this awesome movie where Arnold Schwarzenegger (he's so cool!) beat the crap out of some very bad people. You want to be just like him. Lucky for you, there are some very bad people running around in your class at this very moment. Time for you to be a Kindergarten Cop!

Each night you may send me a Personal Message telling me who you want to investigate that night. You will be told whether that person is innocent or guilty, nothing more and nothing less. Please note that you are not given any guarantees about your sanity as a cop.

You win when all threaths to the class have been eliminated.

You are a Kid playing detective (Flavour cop). You found a neat Sherlock Holmes outfit hanging in a closet at home. You decided to wear it to school, so you could play detective. Armed with a plastic pipe and a magnifying glass you're able to thoroughly describe anyone you investigate. Let's see if you can find anything suspicious going on in your class!

Each night you may send me a Personal Message telling me who you want to investigate that night. You will be given a flavourous description of that person. For instance, if you were to investigate yourself you would be told something along the lines of "You see a kid dressed up as Sherlock Holmes, walking around with a magnifying glass".

You win when all threaths to the class have been eliminated.

The flavour gives no hints about the person being pro-town or mafia.

You are a Kid playing tag (Tracker). You love nothing more than running after other people like a dog chasing a car. You spend every single break playing tag with your friends, so you've gotten really good at it. Now, with some kids trying to take control of the class, you've even found a decent excuse for running after other people during schooltime. Yay!

Each night you may send me a Personal Message telling me who you want to chase around that night. You'll stick to that person like glue, so you'll find out where they went that night. You've got to keep your mind set on not getting tagged back though, so you're not able to tell what that person is doing exactly.

You win when all threaths to the class have been eliminated.

Can track the following actions: night kill, frame, roleblock, investigation, flavour investigation, giving away invention, giving extra nightaction, jailkeep. Only hears who was visited, doesn't learn the action or any flavour.

You are a Kid playing with Lego (Inventor). You have a certain talent for building stuff with Lego blocks. You can build anything from a spacerocket to medieval castle! You're always so busy building things though, you never have time to play with it yourself. You usually let the other kids play with the stuff you build. When you heard some mean kids were planning to take control of the class, you immediately brought your Police Station to class. It's amazing what you can build with that Technical Lego!

Each night you may either build an invention or give an invention that you built earlier to another player. Send me a Personal Message telling me what you choose to do each night. If you choose to give an invention away, you need to tell me which player to give it to. The player receiving the invention will be informed immediately, but won't be able to use it until the night after. Even if that player has a night action himself, he will be able to use your invention at the same time whenever he likes. It'll break after having been used though. If you choose to build an invention, you need to tell me which one. These are the choices you have and you can build as many of any invention as you like:
1) Lego Revolver (with an actual bullet!) - Vigilante kill.
2) Lego Jailcell - Jailkeep (protect + roleblock same person).
3) Lego Police car - Cop investigation (guaranteed sane).
(eg: you could build a cop invention night 1, build a vig invention night 2, give the vig kill to player X night 3 and give the cop investigation to player Y night 4)
Remember, you're not allowed to use your inventions yourself.

You win when all threaths to the class have been eliminated.

You are a Kid with a Playstation (Roleblocker). You've a the newest Playstation money can buy and plenty of games to go with it. Naturally, you're always playing - every single day. Unfortunately, you finished all of the games already. All that's left now is multiplayer. It's a good thing not a single kid can resist coming over to your place for some serious gaming if you invite them!

Each night you may send me a Personal Message telling me who you want to invite over to your place that night. You two will be so busy playing the coolest games, you won't have time for anything else. This means the other player will be roleblocked from doing any action he had planned to perform that night.

You win when all threaths to the class have been eliminated.

You are a Kid with Hyperkinetic Disorder (Energizer). You really don't get how those other kids in your class manage to sit still so much of the time. You've got a lot of energy in you and it needs to get out. You even feel like you'll implode if you don't move around often enough! Maybe you should share some of that energy with the other kids? Better not give any to the mean bullies planning to take over the class though: they always make fun of you.

Each night you may send me a Personal Message telling me who you want to energize that night. That person will be given an extra night action the next night, if he had one in the first place. The player receiving the extra action will be informed immediately, but will only be able to use it the night after. If he didn't have any night-action, he will not be informed you energized him at all. You must target a player every night or all the energy cropped up inside of you will kill you! If you're roleblocked somehow, you will die. If you're not roleblocked but I don't get a PM from you by the deadline, I'm going to let random.org decide who you energize.

You win when all threaths to the class have been eliminated.

If he targets a mafia player, that player can choose to make the night kill ánd use his ability. The framer and roleblocker can also choose to let another mafia player make the kill, so they can use their ability on two different players that night. Doubling the pro-town does exactly what you would expect it to do.

You are a Kid with rich parents (Townie). You always wear the finest clothes of really expensive brands. You pack enough lunch to feed an African village for a whole week. You have a chauffeur to drive you to school. In other words: your parents are loaded! You tried bribing those mean kids trying to take over the class to go away, but it didn't work. I guess money can't help you here.

Since you're an ordinary townie, you don't have any actions to use at night.

You win when all threaths to the class have been eliminated.

You are a Kid with a football (Townie). You're a natural born sportsman. You like anything varying from tennis to athletics, but the sport you like best is football. You always bring your football to school to practise. Some kids in your class are not being very sportsman-like though. You've heard they want to take control of your class. You plan to make sure that doesn't happen.

I'm afraid your football doesn't grant you any special powers. Your vote is all you have to get rid of the bullies.

You win when all threaths to the class have been eliminated.

You are a Kid playing RISK (Townie). Everybody loves boardgames, but not everyone is a fanatic like you! You're especially fond of playing this world domination game called RISK. You even found a fun online version of it, but unfortunately your parents don't allow you to play online much. Some kids in your class think they can beat you in a game of class domination. Show them otherwise.

You have a vote. Use it to lynch the mean kids.

You win when all threaths to the class have been eliminated.

You are a Kid eating candy (Townie). You have lots of friends. That's not because you're such a cute kid, it's because you always carry a big bag of candy around that you share with the other kids now and then. You always keep most of it for yourself though, because candy is soooo sweet - you can't resist it. You've heard some rumours lately of kids taking over the class. If they do, they might take your candy from you.. You can't let that happen!

You have a very good weapon against those bad kids: it's called a vote. Use it wisely.

You win when all threaths to the class have been eliminated.

You are the Teacher (Townie). What are those kids thinking, trying to take over the class?! Like they can do anything against an adult teacher such as yourself.. Somehow, you're not so sure though. Plus, you don't want them hurting the other kids. It's your responsibility to find out who the kids are trying to take control of your classroom and put a stop to it.

You don't need any special abilties of course. You're educated to handle little kids! All you need is a vote, and that's all you've got.

You win when all threaths to the class have been eliminated.

Thinks he's an ordinary townie, but has a certain resistance to the mafia abilities: if the mafia framer or mafia roleblocker try to target him with their ability, it has no effect and he learns their identity. He has no resistance to night kills though. Being roleblocked by the town roleblocker doesn't effect his ability. If the mafia framer tries to frame him, he will be told something along the lines of "Player X came up to you last night, running with sciccors. Doesn't he know that's dangerous?!". If the mafia roleblocker tries to roleblock him, he will be told something along the lines of "Player X came up to you last night and told you that Santa doesn't really exist. What a mean kid!". His death scene will show the teacher to be an ordinary townie.

[Sierra_Leon]

I had fun modding this game, and that's only because you put up a good show playing it. So Thanks everyone for playing. I have some thoughts about the game that I'd like to share now that it's over.

When I designed the game, I decided I wanted a game with plenty of investigative roles, but no doctors around to protect them. This way, coming out with your investigation result might catch a scum, but it would also be your death sentence. ExplainThis helped me in balancing the setup. He pointed out that the mafia would assume there is a doctor, so they still might not target a cop when he outed himself. He suggested either telling them there is no doc or giving them some way to make their kills unprotectable. I went with the second option.

There were a lot of power roles, but I figured that would balance out since some roles (roleblocker, energizer, inventor) could work in favour of the mafia just as well as for the town. Looking back, this turned out to be true: the roleblocker blocked the tracker and the energizer gave the mafia framer an extra action. Also, all mafia were powerroles so having a lot of town powerroles makes sense.

I had seen the system of a mafia powerrole group, where one of the mafia has to give up his action in order to make the kill, in another game and I liked that system, so I wanted to try it in this game too. I like this system because it forces a lazy mafia to communicate with eachother and it forces each mafia member to send in an action - this ensures me that they're still paying attention and playing actively. I'm definitely happy with it, but it turned out to be a bit confusing, so if I use this system again I'll be sure to formulate it in a simpler way.


So what did you all think of the game? I'm glad to already read some reactions that it was a good game. Now that you've seen the full setup, do you think it was balanced? Or is a doc a necessity in any mafia game?

[cmckinney]

I was almost certain that ML was the doc, so I was afraid to "out" him. I had assumed he had protected Clive, and I had roleblocked him the night Clive died, so I was like "oh crap", I practically just killed Clive.

But now I know it wasn't my fault.

[animorpherv1]

Nice job guys, and thanks for energizing me Militaint, I thought it was because I killed the teacher!
