Responsibility Mafia! - Page 64

Role Conditions were not always completely accurate or fully explanatory and in certain cases my decisions were made outside of the role text. The text was there simply to help people get an idea of what to look for.

Justice/Overly Righteous Vigis (I changed the name for a couple people)

Congratulations, you are the overly righteous vigilante. Because you are sick of those babbling fools, you have decided to take the law into your own hands. At any night during the game, you can choose to shoot someone (1 bullet). However, due to your great sense of justice, if you shoot a townie, you will commit suicide in disgrace. Your shot will still go through regardless.

Keep in mind that your power doesn't have to be used. It is merely another option for you to help police the town.

Liar Vigi:

You have worked in the police force for too many years and absolutely detest liars. If you catch someone in a lie and prove it to the host, you can shoot them at any time (will hit at the end of the cycle). Note that I will not accept technicality lies, or lies that you cannot prove with the knowledge you have, such as having everyone say 'i am not mafia' and trying to shoot them. Please play with the spirit of the role.

If you attempt to try to shoot someone on a silly and false case, there will be consequences, so be sure before you try to shoot!

Naturally as this is a subjective role there will be some leeway. Feel free to pm with any questions about cases. Keep in mind that your power doesn't have to be used. It is merely another option for you to help police the town.

Spam Vigi:

Goodness, you hate spammers and how much they wreck the town! At any night during the game, you can choose to shoot anyone who has more than 10% of the total posts since the game began (1 bullet, use filter to calculate, doesn't have to be exact just somewhere near). You may also argue the case for an exception whose posts are particularly spammy drivel even if he may not fit the post count restriction.

Naturally as this is a subjective role there will be some leeway. Feel free to pm with any questions about cases. Keep in mind that your power doesn't have to be used. It is merely another option for you to help police the town.

Lurker vigi:

Having played against Savior one too many times, you really hate those lurkers! This fear of lurkers has transformed into hatred for anyone who keeps their lips sealed. At any night during the game, you may choose to shoot someone who has less than 5 posts per cycle, not including votes (1 bullet). You may also make the case on a borderline person who is clearly lurking but may not quite fit the post requirement or who makes 1 liners and never says anything.

Naturally as this is a subjective role there will be some leeway. Feel free to pm with any questions about cases. Keep in mind that your power doesn't have to be used. It is merely another option for you to help police the town.

Elitist Vigi:

You are a God amongst mortals. With your intellect, you decree that stupidity is a crime. However, these silly plebians don't listen! Once during the game in daytime you can choose to shoot anyone who has been posting particularly stupid drivel. This is rather subjective and I'll need to clear it but in general either a really really idiotic post with gaping logic, making idiotic moves like 'role=alignment' or just general blindness or a series of idiotic posts is a good ticket. Make sure you clear your case with me before firing, or there will be consequences.

Roleclaim Vigi:

You are revolted by blue roles, the fascination with blue roles, and hate anyone who professes to be one. You may shoot any player that has claimed a role outside of vanilla townie (1 shot, night only). Breadcrumbs count if it is unambigious as to which role they claim.

Keep in mind that your power doesn't have to be used. It is merely another option for you to help police the town.

Apathetic Vigi:

Sometimes people just don't seem to care. Whether its posting one liners and lynching someone random just cause or afking along, they are a detrmiment to the town. This also includes people sheeping, or those who vote without sufficient reason. You can shoot any player who fits these qualifications at night (1 shot).

BM Vigi

You are the Bad manner vigi. You want to keep a nice clean atmosphere and hate jerks. At one time per game at night you can choose to shoot someone who has been repeatedly insulting other players and causing the atmosphere to darken. Please clear your case with me.

PBPA Vigi

You are the no-nonsense vigi. You realize that point-by-point analyses are stupid and only serve to hurt the town. However, others do not! Thus, you can put them in their place. Once per game at night you can shoot any player who has performed a point by point analysis on anyone during the game. This means that they dissected a persons posts and nitpicked their way through, trying to make them look mafia from every tiny element and small post. Note that this does not apply to real analysis which actually serves a purpose. Using multiple posts to analyze is good play. Looking at the minutinae is shot worthy.

Acronym Vigi

You are the Acronym Vigilante! You hate people who use acronyms and buzzwords excessively like WIFOM , meta, or the dreaded "scumtell." Once per game you can shoot anyone (at night) who has used multiple acronyms (or the same one repeatedly) throughout the game. Anyone who posts multiple image macros, particularly of buzzwords like a wine glass or that wifom pic, is also fair game.

Mafia:

You are so sick of this dumb town that you and your brodooskis banded together to stamp your seal of justice and shut them up for good. Your KP is 2, with it dropping to 1 once you have 2 or less members. The traitor, if recruited, is added to your total, so you can still have 2/5 members alive and keep 2 kp. Your members are:

Wherebugsgo
Syllogism
L
Kitaman27

Your team possesses these roles. Please distribute them amongst your members and get back to me before day 1 ends (the sooner the better as you can use the day vigi anytime).

-Role Cop (obtains role name and description of 1 player per night)
-Roleblocker
-1 bullet day vigi (must type ##kill in thread, activates instantly. If you can, try to make sure one of the hosts is online when you shoot). Cannot be used if you are above majority to prevent a free kill if lynched.

Also, there is a traitor out there somewhere. You are allowed 1 guess for the entire game as to who the traitor is at any point in time. If you are correct, your team can pm him and vice versa. Once converted, the traitor will be added to the mafia total.

Here's what you know about roles:

Every townie this game has a role and they are all different types of vigilantes. Town has no detectives, medics, or vets. They all shoot at nighttime, except for one role which is a day vig, and have one shot. Each vigi has a clauses or restriction which is based around either punishing bad play or taking responsibility. One of them is called the Justice Vigi, which is a Dreamflower. Another is the Liar Vigi, which is basically an Ace, just like the ones used in Personality Mafia and Pick your Power Interesting except with a 1 shot limit. The role pm's are below.

Traitor:

You are the traitor. You show up as townie to any and all detective actions, but you want the mafia to win! Your job is to cause chaos and confusion throughout the town and sow distrust amongst its members.

You can also join with the mafia! You can at any point in time send me a guess. Your guess of mafia consists of exactly how many mafia are alive. So if 2 mafia are alive, you have to give 2 names, 1 must be right. Here's a list of how many you need right:

4 Mafia alive | 3 correct
3 alive | 2 correct
2 alive | 1 correct
1 alive | 1 correct

The trigger cases:

Chaoser shooting Palmar:

Chaoser played his role perfectly and his case was very nice. I clarified that he could shoot for misrepresentation as well, which is what he shot Palmar for. Palmar deliberately misrepresented what L said and Chaoser caught him on it.

Chezinu shooting Prplhz:

Chezinu's case on prplhz was about him overusing meta and RNG. I felt this went with the technicality of the role but didn't go with the spirit. Prplhz was using the terms simply to describe his overall case, not use them as buzzwords to vaguely talk about certain topics.

BC shooting Gmarshal:

Gmarshal roleclaimed. Simple.

Foolishness shooting L:

Foolishness argued that L's frequent and detailed posting yet completely disregard for lynch candidates meant that he didn't really care what happened. His role was tricky on both ends but I felt it fit the purpose well.

Prplhz shooting Bugs:

The case on Bugs was that he was spamming. Bugs posts are not spam but he certainly the biggest poster. Yes it was around 10% but that wasn't it entirely. While spam is obviously short one liner posts that have no or little substance, I also treat it as people who simply talk about everything and just post too much.

For example, if you ever read Pyrrhuloxia or Bill Murray's games as town, they make very detailed posts but they also just post such an insane amount that others get swamped out of the thread. The role was designed to keep people focused on what's important and punish the excessive talking that is common in many games. I didn't communicate this particularly well to prplhz but bugs did fit this criteria. Still very borderline though so it might have been a bad call because by normal game standards this wasn't excessive; it just became that way because of the games holiday inactivity.

RoL shooting BC:

BC was very inactive by any yardstick, simple as that.

Meapak shooting Syllo:

Meapak represented the case as shooting syllo for saying scummy, however it was more complicated than that and something we debated about for awhile. Basically the acronym vigi existed to shoot people who used catch-all buzzwords to substitute for actually describing something. The classic examples are wifom and scumtell which plant an idea but actually say nothing of substance, but this was much more borderline. I would have also allowed a shot on RoL for this egregrious post [url=http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=295384&currentpage=45#883here[/url]

In this case, syllo used scummy a couple times to simply describe suspicious, which was fine. But in two examples I believe, he used scummy as a buzzword to imply something was suspicious without actually explaining what or why it was suspicious which is what this role was designed to target against. Again, this was very borderline, but given the fact that meapak replaced in so late in the day and literally read the game only after he got replaced, I leaned on his side.

Bum shooting Meapak/Chez;

Argument was Chez was being BM by going inactive. This made sense to a degree and had he done it before Meapak was subbed in I would have allowed it. But after Meapak subbed in it didn't really apply anymore. Furthermore it the argument required knowing Chezinu's motives, which neither bum nor I knew.

Bum shooting RoL:

RoL intentionally triggered it by swearing at/insulting bum. Self explanatory.
