Welcome to Blitz Mafia IX: Veterans Go FlavorlessREAD THIS POST IN ITS ENTIRETY TO ENTER!
This game will begin about 09:00 forum time on Monday, December 31, 2012 Wednesday, Jan 2, 2013. D1 will last 27 real-life hours, ending at noon forum time on Thursday, Jan. 3, 2013. Decisions (if needed) about playing over the weekend will be made on Friday, Jan 4, and player input will be solicited at that time.
This game will use the hidden democracy method to determine lynches when votes are tied at the deadline. This means that if Player X and Y are tied at deadline, I lock the thread, EVERYONE sends me a PM of which player they are voting for (X or Y). The player that receives the most this way is lynched. If neither player has a majority, no lynch occurs. The results of the vote are made public afterwards, and are useful information.
Setup Information (
Less Pressure)
, but different. Changes in red below.3 Mafia Goons
3 Vanilla Townies
2 Innocent Children2 Best Friends Best Friends are two players who know each other to be Town but are unable to speak to each other privately. The Best Friends are identified to each other by the moderator in the role PMs, but DO NOT have daychat.
Credit goes to Archetype for suggesting this variation. There is some sentiment that this setup with 2 Masons is imbalanced in town's favor, and some sentiment that the original "Less Pressure" (with two Innocent Children) has been "solved".
Moderator notes:
1) A spectator QT will be available - just PM the moderator after game start.
2) There will be no flavor. It's not that I'm lazy, but I think I suck at writing flavor, and I'd rather spend that time on providing quick flips, more votecounts, etc.
3) BEFORE SIGNING UP, BE ADVISED THIS IS ONLY MY SECOND GAME AS MODERATOR. However, it has been independently verified that no animals were harmed during the play of ZM8, my freshman effort. (well, an Eevee was slightly damaged, but only very very slightly)
Mechanics:
This game is Nightless.
This game uses a White Flag: town needs to lynch any two Mafia Goons to win.
Mafia have daytalk.
When the first Mafia Goon is lynched,
the killed mafia player gets a return kill on a player of their choice. This choice shall be delivered to the mod immediately upon the mafia player's demise.I would like to encourage anyone that has been considering playing for the first time to give it a try. This version plays in about 3 real-life days, so you can experience the game without investing weeks of your time. We welcome new players (and new forum members) to join us.
