You Make The Mafia Role

[DFF]

I assume it's just like the previous rounds where they'll reveal the results of the previous one a little bit after setting this one.

[Sousa]

Really, you guys should just bow out now because I'm gonna win.

[Matt]

@ Norro, aren't there 5 of us left? Me, you, Sousa, Marcos and DFF

[The Mask of Norro]

@ Norro, aren't there 5 of us left? Me, you, Sousa, Marcos and DFF

It said Marcos dropped out this round. The main page only lists the four of us as the final four, so...

[Matt]

Oh, I assumed he used his skip. Ah cool.

[DFF]

Do we get a little extra time for this, considering it's a little more than the previous rounds?

[DFF]

I hope to have mine in either very late tomorrow, or possibly Monday.

[R.W.]

Sorry for the delay..

Scores for the Godfather round...

Sousa adds a bit of risk to the reward of safety, in that choosing the wrong person will reveal him. Nice. Score - 7

-Matt- So, the Don can be lynched, but can't be nightkilled, and can pick up extra nightkills? I'm unsure on that. Score - 6

DFF - Bomb Don! Interesting concept. Score - 8

Norro - It's detailed, I'll give you that! Not sure I'm sold on it though. Score - 6

[Gongsun Zan]

With Sousa leaving, I'm going to just take him out of the competition, and let the last three of you battle it out.

Deadline is Friday, about 80 hours from now.

I'll post my thoughts on your roles anyway later, just for fun.

[Matt]

Just so you know, mine will be in tomorrow, but it might be close to the deadline, I have an exam in the morning that I'm revising for (albeit I'm not getting a lot done) but after tomorrow morning I'm free to write roles at my leisure.

Edited May 21, 2009 by --Matt--

[DFF]

Mine is still forthcoming. It'll be either late tonight (after a few drinks ) or it'll be tomorrow before I go to work.

[DFF]

Roles sent in, though I'm not really pleased with them at all if I'm being honest.

[Matt]

Not sure when the deadline is but mine'll be up within an hour or so.

[Gongsun Zan]

Okay, I'm giving Norro exactly 24 hours to get his sent in. If not, we go with just DFF and Matt.

[The Mask of Norro]

Yeah, sorry for the delay Zan... been rough goings trying to get this done since my computer's basically shit the bed again. I'll get mine to you ASAP today.

[Gongsun Zan]

Matt:

You are Billie Joe Armstrong, Band Aligned Lead Singer, Guitarist and Co-Founder.

The band is in disarray! Everything is going wrong for Green Day and you and the band are the only ones who can stop it. You started off as a punk band that every skater and wannabe rocker adored, but in recent times you've been adjudged to have "sold out" your fans. To make matters worse, the cool kids that had begun to like you during the American Idiot era are no longer interested in your music - after all, you were only the flavour of the month. There's only thing you and the guys can do: you need to remove any memories of Green Day and the old songs and start over again as the Foxboro Hot Tubs.

You are the leader of the operation, and as such you will be responsible for electing the nightkill target and which member will perform the kill. Each night you should PM me the name of your target and which member of the group, including yourself if you wish, will perform the kill. Be aware that if you select one of your partners to perform the kill, they will be unable to use any night ability that they have. Also, to aid you in your cause, in the event that you are targetted by the investigator, they will be unable to find a result and as such be under the impression that they have been roleblocked.

You may communicate with your fellow mafia members outside of the game thread, they are ________ (Mike Dirnt) and ________ (Tre Cool)

You win when it becomes impossible for any other group to win.

Mod Notes: In the event this player is targetted by an investigator, they will be sent a message saying that they've been roleblocked.

===================

You are Mike Dirnt, Band Aligned Bass Guitarist and Co-Founder

The band is in disarray! Everything is going wrong for Green Day and you and the band are the only ones who can stop it. You started off as a punk band that every skater and wannabe rocker adored, but in recent times you've been adjudged to have "sold out" your fans. To make matters worse, the cool kids that had begun to like you during the American Idiot era are no longer interested in your music - after all, you were only the flavour of the month. There's only thing you and the guys can do: you need to remove any memories of Green Day and the old songs and start over again as the Foxboro Hot Tubs.

You might not be the most recognisable name in the band, but you were one of the two founding members of the band and, as such, in the event that Billie Joe dies, you will assume the position of leader and become responsible for the nightkill. For now, though, you will have to bide your time and continue to be a team player. To help you contribute towards the goal of the band, each night you will be able to perform a bass solo that will catch the eye of one player and distract [roleblock] that player for the night. Each night you may PM me the name of a player you wish to roleblock. Should you become the leader, you will no longer be able to use your roleblocking ability.

You may communicate with your fellow mafia members outside of the game thread, they are ________ (Billie Joe Armstrong) and ________ (Tre Cool)

You win when it becomes impossible for any other group to win.

Mod Notes: In the event that this player targets the cop, doctor, tracker, bulletproof player or miller they will be rendered vanilla for that night (i.e. Bulletproof player can be killed, miller will have his real role revealed if investigated). In the event that this player targets the insta-lyncher, if the player tries to use that ability in the next day phase, it will fail and they will lose their ability. Similarly, if the player targets the one-shot vig or lie detector on the night they choose to use their ability, their ability will fail and they will become vanilla.

===================

You are Tre Cool, Band Aligned Drummer and Latecomer

The band is in disarray! Everything is going wrong for Green Day and you and the band are the only ones who can stop it. You started off as a punk band that every skater and wannabe rocker adored, but in recent times you've been adjudged to have "sold out" your fans. To make matters worse, the cool kids that had begun to like you during the American Idiot era are no longer interested in your music - after all, you were only the flavour of the month. There's only thing you and the guys can do: you need to remove any memories of Green Day and the old songs and start over again as the Foxboro Hot Tubs.

Drummers are often the band member that gets ridiculed the most, and maybe that's why you'll only become leader in the event that both of your teammates die. However, what you won't be ridiculed for is your ability to wow the town with your drumming skills. Once in the game, you may send me a PM informing me that you wish to use your ability and the following day the number of votes required to lynch each player will vary depending on how distracted they are by your percussion skills. Should you become the leader, you will no longer be able to use your lynch requirement altering ability.

You may communicate with your fellow mafia members outside of the game thread, they are ________ (Billie Joe Armstrong) and ________ (Mike Dirnt)

You win when it becomes impossible for any other group to win.

Mod Notes: If the player activates his ability, any remaining Band Aligned players will have their lynch requirements cut in half. Every other remaining player will have their lynch requirements cut in half and a coin will be tossed, the player will lose 1 vote for every time a head is tossed until they get a tails which increases their requirement by 1. Once a tails is thrown, that player's requirement is set.

If the lynch requirement is an odd number before being halfed it will be rounded up. Any player who hits 0 will be auto-killed at the beginning of the day, however their death will not end the day phase. The town will be informed of the number of votes needed to lynch each player.

For example: 5 votes to lynch when the ability is used. The requirements are halved and rounded up to 3. Player 1 gets Head, Head, Tails, so needs 2 votes to be lynched. Player 2 gets Tails straight away, so needs 4 votes to lynch. Player 3 gets Heads, Heads, Heads and hits zero and thus is auto-killed at the beginning of the day phase.

Norro:

You are Rotten.com, Internet Shock Sites Aligned Originator of the Shock Site Phenomenon. At one time, the internet was an innocent land, filled with joy and happiness and peace and other various good, wholesome things. Then the porn industry got ahold of it and censors collectively shit their pants. Still, if porn wasn't enough to make them terrified to double-click, you had to come along and bring the terror to a whole new level. You were the one to bring gore to the mainstream of the internet, and your links were used to bring despair and sadness to those tricked into viewing them. From images of gruesome deaths to terrifying murder scenes (some actual videos of the acts occuring), suicides and rape... you were, by and large, the most feared website on the internet for a very, very long time.

But, now? Now... things have changed. Shock sites are going out of style, the internet has almost became... immune, to your effects. It's as though nothing surprises anyone any more. Sure, you can nail the newcomers and get that old thrill, but you can't nail them repeatedly like you used to. These days, most people just go to 4chan's random board if they want to get shocked, rather than rely on you to bring them their gruesome jollies like the days of old.

It's not right, damn it... and if the death of actual humans isn't enough to shock these ingrates, then maybe the death of their favorite websites will be. Shock websites exist for a reason: they shock people. If you're not shocking people, you've no point to exist... so really, at this point, you're just fighting to survive. No-one can fault you for that, right?

Allied in your efforts to revive the dying shock sites are fellow shock websites Goatse.cx () and BMEzine.com (). They will serve you until the bitter end.

You may send either of your allies, or yourself, out during the night phase to target and kill a player. Furthermore, upon investigation, you will appear as Ask.com, Internet Aligned Website with a Valet Who Knows Everything. Your ally, Goatse.cx (), is a daytime lie detector, and so collaboration with them could prove key in proving your safe claim, although it might cast their own into doubt. Use this information wisely.

Finally, as the leader of the group, your team will protect you from being targeted for a kill during the night turn. However, due to your safe claim, you are still vulnerable to lynches.

You win when Internet Shock Sites outnumber all remaining threats in the game.

MOD NOTES

- Lie detector information meant to encourage teamwork between allies. The ability fits the don's fakeclaim, but the don's goon is the one who's using it.

- The don is vulnerable to lynches because of their fakeclaim. They cannot be killed, however, nor can they be blocked.

- Typically, the don cannot be tracked, either. However, should the player choose to commit a kill themself, trackers will see them use that ability. Otherwise, the don stays in during the night.

You are Goatse.cx, Internet Shock Sites Aligned Proof of the Elasticity of the Human Anus. At one time, the internet was an innocent land, filled with joy and happiness and peace and other various good, wholesome things. Then the porn industry got ahold of it and censors collectively shit their pants. Still, if porn wasn't enough to make them terrified to double-click, you had to come along and bring the terror to a whole new level. Perhaps one of the most classic single-page shock sites on the web, you've been used more often than almost any other website to trick people into viewing something their mind shall never erase.

But now? Now... things have changed. You've become a part of pop culture, an internet phenomon no longer striking disgust and horror into the minds of your victims, but rather amusement and laughter. People no longer fear being linked to a website like yours, they practically expect it. Nevermind the fact that, these days, the "shock sites" people love the most are crap like Rickroll and what have you... it's like now that everyone has become numb to the gruesome side of the internet, they're embracing the "unexpected" and "random" side of it. As offensive as sites like you are... these days, it just doesn't cut it.

And you cannot accept this. If people aren't going to be scarred from staring into the deep abyss of another human being's rectal area, then you will give them something else to gouge their eyes out over. After all, shock websites exist for a reason: they shock people. If you're not shocking people, you've no point to exist... so really, at this point, you're just fighting to survive. No-one can fault you for that, right?

Your leader in this movement of terror is Rotten.com (), and you fight alongside your ally, BMEzine.com (). You and BMEzine shall serve Rotten until the bitter end.

Once every day turn, you may quote the post of any one player in the game and dig deep into the vast depths of your anus for the truth within it. You will be told whether or not this player has lied in the post they've made, or if they're telling the truth. Essentially, you're a generic lie detector, albeit you pull the truth right out of your own ass. Be sure to collaborate with your leader on this ability, of course... as it turns out, it has more use to them than you might think.

You win when Internet Shock Sites outnumber all remaining threats in the game.

MOD NOTES

- Basic lie detector abilities apply. Player must quote an entire post to run a lie detect on. If the quoted player is lying at ANY point in their post, it will come up with a generic "Lie detected" notice, even if it's only a lie in one area of the post while the rest is entirely truthful.

- If the don uses this player for their kills, the player will be able to fakeclaim a vig role as they will appear in investigations and trackings as the one performing the kill.

You are BMEzine.com, Internet Shock Sites Aligned Last of a Dying Breed (of Shock Sites). At one time, the internet was an innocent land, filled with joy and happiness and peace and other various good, wholesome things. Then the porn industry got ahold of it and censors collectively shit their pants. Still, if porn wasn't enough to make them terrified to double-click, you had to come along and bring the terror to a whole new level. You are the only member of your group still able to at least get something of a rise out of people, and have been making your allies proud in your efforts to keep the shock websites of the internet alive even today. With your terrifying methods of combining pornography and gore together, you've tapped into a much larger audience than your allies are able to these days, and it's giving them the hope they need for the future.

Still, things are getting rough. Shock websites aren't what they used to be, and the internet is a much more tolerable place. People can handle your tricks and your terrors now, most of them expect to see it happen. These days, all the popularity's going to being "random" or "rickrolling" people, or following memes that half the time are nothing more than glorified in-jokes from other websites that happened to spread. It's all so... disappointing.

There was a time when shock sites such as yourself were a force to be feared, and yet now you're no different from any of the other would-be shock sites that barely cause a reaction in your victims any more. Still, as was said before... you're doing better than most. Truth be told, you still draw in crowds of terrified onlookers to your website, and you still push the envelope so many before you believed to have pushed as far as it goes. Still... your brothers are dying, and shock websites are losing their strength left and right. You refuse to see them fail because of the hardened hearts of the internet... it's time to fight back, and bring them terror through force! After all, shock websites exist for a reason: they shock people. If you're not shocking people, you've no point to exist... so really, at this point, you're just fighting to survive. No-one can fault you for that, right?

Your leader in this movement of terror is Rotten.com (), and you fight alongside your ally, Goatse.cx (). You and Goatse shall serve Rotten until the bitter end.

Once during the game, you may orchestrate a game-wide competition called the "BME Pain Olympics". This will stop the lynch for the day and instead activate a competition between all players, including your own allies. Every player still alive when you've used this ability must PM me a number between 1 and 50, with 1 being the least and 50 being the most. They will not be told why, but will simply be told to do so. These numbers represent the level they "react" at to the "BME Pain Olympics" video. The bigger the reaction, the more effective the ability is on that person. When the numbers have been gathered, three numbers will be selected: the highest, the lowest, and one random. After that, the following will happen to the three selected players:

1st Place (Highest Score): Will kill themselves after watching.

2nd Place (Random Number): Will be roleblocked that night, and voteblocked the following day.

3rd Place (Lowest Score): Will be targeted as an additional kill to the group's that night.

You win when Internet Shock Sites outnumber all remaining threats in the game.

MOD NOTES

- Ability replaces the day's lynch, although one person will still die as a result of this ability during the day.

- Risk/reward: The player is not vulnerable to their own ability; however, their allies are. The player can use this ability to cripple the town further in at the risk of blocking their own allies, or use it early on for a lessened chance at hurting their team, but also a lessened chance at doing any real crippling damage to the town.

- Essentially kills a random player rather than the lynch target, gives the mob an extra kill that night (albeit one they cannot pick), and jails another player. With the additional night kill, all night abilities still apply: bulletproof players, or players protected that night, will be able to survive the random kill.

DFF

Pesci, Welcome to Firefly: The Mafia.

You are Atherton Wing, Mafia aligned nobleman and Don besmirched by Mal

You have long since held a grudge against the Firefly crew ever since you lost that duel to Mal on Persephone. Since then, you have been chomping at the bit to get revenge.

To aid you in this foray, you have hired some unscrupulous individuals who just so happen to have taken to a-hatin' the Firefly crew also.

Your allies are: Adelai Niska (Zan) and Jubal Early (Rabid Wolverine). You may communicate with them outside of the game thread.

Each night you may PM me the name of a player. You will duel and defeat them, killing them in the process.

You win when all threats to the Mafia have been eliminated.

Zan, Welcome to Firefly: The Mafia.

You are Adelai Niska, Mafia aligned criminal kingpin with a penchant for torture

Twice you have been disrespected by Mal Reynolds and his Firefly crew. Most men in your world wouldn't live to see once, let alone twice.

So when nobleman Atherton Wing (Pesci) made you a proposition (to pay for you to aid him in the killing of Reynolds) you jumped at the chance.

Your Don is Atherton Wing (Pesci), and your other ally is Jubal Early (Rabid Wolverine). You may communicate with them outside of the game thread.

Each night you PM me the name of a player to gather information on. You will spend hefty amounts of the money you have earned to find out who that player is and where their allegiances lay.

Also, once in the game, you may kidnap and torture a player. This blocks their night action and reveals who they are to you. They will also tell you every player they have targeted in the game thus far, and the outcome of it. It then has a 50% chance of killing them. If they survive, then they cannot speak or vote in the next day phase.

Also, whilst ever both you and Atherton are alive, you will detail some of your best henchmen to him, giving him a 66% chance of avoiding lynches and night kills. If he dies, the detail will return to you, granting yourself the same protection.

You win when all threats to the Mafia are eliminated

Rabid Wolverine, Welcome to Firefly: The Mafia.

You are Jubal Early, Mafia aligned gun for hire

You have been hired by Atherton Wing (Pesci) to make up the numbers as he attempts to kill the Firefly crew. After your previous dealings with them, where they left you floating in space towards a seemingly certain death, then you were more than happy to oblige.

Your Don is Atherton Wing (Pesci), and your other ally is Adelai Niska (Zan). You may communicate with them outside of the game thread.

Each night you may pick 1 player to knock out. This will block their night action.

You win when all threats to Mafia have been eliminated

[MalaCloudy Black]

Once every day turn, you may quote the post of any one player in the game and dig deep into the vast depths of your anus for the truth within it. You will be told whether or not this player has lied in the post they've made, or if they're telling the truth.

BEST.

[Matt]

Just to clarify, in Bille Joe's mod notes "they've been roleblocked", they = the cop, obviously.

[The Mask of Norro]

So... how about them scores, eh?

[R.W.]

Right, here we go:

-Matt I like both the vanilla-ising role and the vote total role, nice variations - Score - 8

Norro A safeclaim & a scum lie detector are OK, but it's the BME Pain Olympics that's really interesting - massive risk/reward gamble, would be interesting to see how it played out. - Score - 7

DFF Seems a pretty standard combo of Don / Scum Investigator / Scum Blocker, though the Investigator has a nice twist to it Score - 6
