As for Double Lynches - don't use them until you have to. "Killing for information" is one of the dumbest and frankly most scummy excuses players come up with to off Townies. There are other ways to get information besides lynching. Only use double lynches where we have situations such as Player A or B have to be scum due to conflicting role claims/investigations. This obviously also applies to role claimed Hatters with bombs on scum or 2 scum caught in a crossfire. We don't lynch people for the sake of information we lynch them because we think they are scum. It also doesn't matter if there are only 20 people left in the game to vote on a double lynch. If 2 people are found to be scum and some players are seriously arguing we shouldn't vote on a Double Lynch well then that just kind of tells you what their motives are doesn't it? Stupid scum are pretty cool to play against. So BC I really need to have you explain why leaving any of us 3 to die would be wise? You've even said the 3 of us should take a backseat and let everyone else play as if that would somehow help the Town win in the long run. I'm actually kind of laughing you'd acknowledge Caller as more useful than Zona too. | ||

No one is playing this game relying on Detectives to win right? If you are a Detective assuming nothing like wild Day 1 roleclaims happen investigate the scummiest person on Day 1. This means guys posting nonsense or just being overall useless with posts that say nothing or just parrot what others have said. Vigilantes, seriously hold your shots unless you are damn sure the person is scum and by that I mean it's generally echoed in the thread the person isn't playing to help the Town win. Of course, as a Vigilante I also shoot useless Town players. This is just as good as killing scum as this helps you win the end game so much easier. | ||

O.o And second, how are we supposed to believe you that you got the role that you usually get? From what I can search, you've only played in Incognito's Mafia XVI? | ||

TL Mafia XXII - Day 1: As the picture above suggested, it was not going to be a pleasant day. This is the future, the future of humanity. The city is Liq Vegas. Nobody knows exactly why it was called that, but over the centuries following the destruction of Las Vegas by Mexican nuclear missiles, the name has stuck. The city is a thriving place, with a huge financial center, gambling casinos galore, and many cough cough model citizens. As reporters and news analysts said about Vegas, "ah, Liq Vegas, a more wretched hive of scum and villainy you shall not find. We must be cautious." A new wave of immigrants had just arrived, settling in the southern part of the city. While most came for the money and seedy ESPORTS rings that Liq Vegas had to offer, some came for something more. And once again, death is in the air. A new mafia had established itself in Liq Vegas, and this one was powerful. Bolstered by powerful weapons and trained in the deadliest of martial arts, the Mafia had come to take control of Liq Vegas, starting with the south. Another problem beyond the mafia for the city had arrived as well. Skilled Assassins, each sent from their respective country, had taken residence in Liq Vegas, and their goals were to try and kill off the other country's Assassins, in order to ensure better diplomatic and corporate ties with Liq Vegas. Businessmen by day, ruthless killers at night. But their story will be overshadowed in the morning news by the mafia, for last night they had decided to make their move. They moved against the most prominent targets first. Ver, Qatol, and dreamflower co-owned a business, and they were known far and wide as "The Professional Meddlers." On the outside, they pretended to be private investigators, helping people solve the slightly unnatural mysteries. The three brought in good money as Private Eye, but the real money came from elsewhere. Ver, Qatol, and dreamflower rigged matches behind the scenes. Starcraft XVI, the hottest game on the market, had a huge ESPORTS industry, and just like back when SCBW was out, there were many professional players. After years of bribing players to lose and betting against the heavy odds, Ver, Qatol, and dreamflower had become millionaires, and controlled a good deal of southern Vegas. The mafia hit them first. Ver was just wrapping up a phone call with the famous Starcraft player, ExplOit. The details were set out--ExplOit was to drop the upcoming TeamLiquid StarLeague finals 0-3 to the newcomer, Bosu, with odds at approximately 17 to 1 in favour of ExplOit winning. However, as Ver put down the phone, he noticed somebody standing in the shadows. Ver frowned; how had he not seen that person before? There had been no movement in the office... unless the person was cloaked. The assailant smiled, and pulled out a massive blade. The next morning, had anybody else been alive in the office, they would've found Ver, hole through his chest, still sitting in front of his computer, ready to send a huge sum of money to ExplOit. Qatol had left work early that day, and was reclining in a jazz bar, listening to soft music and enjoying some aged wine. The atmosphere of the club was cool and collected, just like Qatol liked it. However, that peace and quiet would be disrupted by a masked figure stepping into the front door, near where Qatol was sitting, and announcing excitedly that he had just procured 10 Starcraft XVII Beta Keys, and was willing to listen to nominations. The place went crazy. Brawls broke out between the normally serene frequenters of the bar. Shots from concealed weapons were fired, and somebody even managed to scrap together a crude explosive, igniting it on the wine rack behind the barman's counter. After the smoke and fire cleared, there were 11 people left. They looked at each other frantically, and started squabbling about who should be "voted out." None of them seemed to be relenting, even after five minutes of fierce arguing. Qatol, who lay on the floor aching from several blows, groaned as he saw the masked figure pull out a can of oil and a match. Dousing the beta keys in the flammable liquid, the Mafia member set them on fire and threw the ten keys into the midst of the 11 arguing clubbers, then turned tail and left. Qatol watched in horror as the flames slowly made their way toward the larger, somehow still undisturbed wine rack. As the man walked off into the distance, he could hear Qatol's scream of agony as the jazz bar went up in flames. dreamflower had stayed at the office as well, though her office was on the other side of the building as Ver's was. She had actually just finished an "investigative" case, where she had found the professional Starcraft player DownSoRcErY "guilty" of match rigging. He was to be sent to court next day, and dreamflower chuckled. Little did DownSoRcErY know that he had been duped; it had been dreamflower who had bribed him, dreamflower who had raked in all the money for betting against the odds, and it was dreamflower that was earning yet more money for bringing the poor Starcraft player to justice. She powered down her computer and prepared to depart for home. dreamflower left the office, thinking that Ver had already left, since she had heard the main door open and close. As she drove home through the rain, she glanced upward at the sky, where it was still raining. When she looked back down at her control panel though, it had locked up. The doors locked themselves, and the seatbelt wouldn't let her out. Ironically, the only that that worked in her 23XX Toyota Prius were the brakes, and even those weren't enough. The possessed car drove itself out of the city, far far into the countryside. Where did it stop? Who knows? One thing was certain though, dreamflower was never seen again. citi.zen, actually a model citizen of Liq Vegas, was conducting a charity fund for orphaned polka-dotted baby whales with a lavish, donate-to-dine gala. He was a gracious host, and was able to raise a ton of money for the baby whales. His night was to be amazing... If it weren't for the Mafioso. Somehow he snuck (or sneaked, whatever) in through security. The man was nondescript, being of middle height and no outstanding features. He had carried no weapons, so the guards had let him in after he made a handsome donation. In fact, the man was so bland that nobody afterward, even when directly questioned, could remember anything about him. It was as if he were just an anomaly in the space-time continuum. The man waited until citi.zen stepped out to use the bathroom, and followed him in. While citi.zen was washing his hands, the Mafia member made his move, and in less than a second citi.zen lay dead on the floor. The Mafioso didn't even bother to hide the body, for he knew there was no way any detective or police would find any evidence on him. He turned on his handhold teleporter and disappeared. Yeah, that's right, the future contains teleporters. And what about flamewheel91? Well, he was struck by lightning again. Go figure. No, there was no goat. Ver, Qatol, and dreamflower of the Professional Meddlers are now dead. citi.zen, the newbie host, is now dead. flamewheel91 has been struck by lightning. Yes, he is dead as well. [/end] The game is now afoot. Day 1 will run until Tuesday, Apr 20 1:00am GMT (GMT+00:00). Remember, you may PM flamewheel91 or citi.zen if you have any questions; we'll be happy to help.

I'm sorry for the spamming earlier, I rather enjoy posting crap in the pre-games. First of all, Should we analyze the things said pre-game? True, they are said after the roles were PM'ed, but does it constitutes as being part of the game? | ||

I think everything said post role-PM should be considered, though obviously we shouldn't hold things against people if they haven't posted before now. jpak, it is currently Day 1. Perhaps we should be seeing you now. | ||

Most of the time there just isn't a good amount of information at this time and at least 1 townie gets lynched. One thing fw needs to clean up is whether we can have a double lynch but then only lynch 1 player. I myself doubt it.However, if we can back out, then double lynching is a little less risky since we won't be forced to do a lynch on bad info. Since this on the majority system, with a double lynch it is possible to lynch one person. If person A is majority lynched well before person B is, then A is lynched right then and there, and voting for B continues either until B (or somebody else) is lynched or nobody reaches a majority. Thus, that makes it possible to get only one person lynched, but that would make double lynch kind of worthless, da? People who voted for A and had their vote on A when A was lynched would just only have one vote then. Edit: Goddamn it, iNfuNd, I used my 3000th post on this without thinking about it. T_T | ||
