Use Fringe as flavour and you're set

I was thinking of doing fringe mafia, but I didn't think anyone would get the reference

Walter is very clearly the good twin, and walternate the evil

Blackwing

Spoiler:

I'm not at all sure about wam being anti-town. I thought he was scummier than most, but I'm remembering Sailor Moon Queenmaker where I also thought that. It's better than me being lynched, though. At least I can say that. I'll say maybe a 45% chance that he was scum, but I'm uncertain even by D1 standards.

Hunting of the Snark

Spoiler:

Well played Snark. He had me fooled until almost the end. As for the chance that cjquines was scum, well, mpolo basically confirmed that he was the Beaver and Snark was a lyncher for him. If I were to try to make a guess it'd just be guessing at how likely it is that mpolo was messing around instead of guessing at cjquines' scumminess.

[UniqueScreenname]

I love Fringe. That should definitely happen.

[Lataro]

Need a replacement in DS9, if no one is available, it will lead to a modkill.

[Lawsome]

I will try and attach fringe characters to it, I am only on season 4 or 5 i think, the end of the last seaeaon i watched:

Spoiler:

Peter popped out of existence

It will probably be open setup, because personally I find closed setup to be far to evil. Also, any wannabe comods? A noob needs help here!

[PeteP]

Lataro's Newbie Setup

Spoiler:

Args a paranoid thought I have drives me crazy. I hope Adam comes on soon answers my PM and clears everything up.

I was recruited by MH today. Lynx is the one claiming to be a doctor in the MH team. Robot role claimed doctor. I am a doctor, so obviously one of them is lying. There is a scum result on rob, but if I were the EP he would have been on my list of possible targets — so that doesn't persuade me. Adam has watched lynx target him night 1 so if rob is the doctor lynx might have tried to kill Adam . But that would be unlikely if he also targeted someone night 2 and that person survived(and super self destructive to execute a night kill while in the MH team against someone beside the MH). He could still be the EP, but then Adam would know if he targeted roband.
Thing is I don't know if lynx targeted someone night 2. Before roband claimed I thought about ways in which he could be innocent if he claimed doc (the most likely claim in my opinion, since there where a semi confirmed cop and MH and because the VT would counterclaim.) I thought about it partly because nobody beside USN brought up the possibility that rob was EP or wam not the cop. They just accepted it instantly. (And USN is the one I consider the most townie out of the 4.) The effortless switch neither looks like town or robs scum mate for me.
If robs target wasn't Adam night 1 that would reduce Lynx to doc or EP and Adam would know that he targeted rob.Which would prove that rob is scum, but it was Adam. Something lynx said in the MH chat (or rather something he omitted) combined with Adam telling us to kill lynx if Adam dies tonight (indicating that he doesn't trusts lynx), made me think about the possibility that Adam didn't see lynx do anything N2 and for some reason didn't see that as ultra scummy or rather decided that the cop result was more secure and decided to wait for lynx third night actions. I would lynch lynx in such a case, but not everyone acts the same as me. (See matts suicide, I really didn't think that someone would do that just to remove the Miller.)
I asked Adam over PM today, he doesn't really trust me but I hope he at least answers that question. I hope I'm just paranoid and he did watch lynx night 2. Quite honestly it's the most likely result.
But what if he says lynx didn't do anything tonight? I would have to persuade people to lynch lynx instead telling scum my role and just about everything I know or suspect in the process. And it's not like I can prove that I'm a doctor, what if they don't believe me? What if rob is really the other doc and I can't convince them or if lynx just says fuck it and hammer? If my count is right wam, tim, law and snark have votes on rob, if lynx is scum he could just hammer now.
And I think tim, law and snark are scum and don't care, so wam would have to unvote.
This is making me so anxious. Adam please come on and answer my pm. Please.

[UniqueScreenname]

I'll co-mod. Love, love, LOVE Fringe.

[roband]

If you decide you love it so much you want to play, I can also offer to co-mod

I only enjoy it quite a lot The most recent season has failed to grip me - only seen a few eps

[DaBigCheez]

DS9:

Spoiler:

Ugh, I'm still *really* irritated at myself for screwing up the account I posted with - and I should have at least re-arranged/paraphrased my message when re-posting it on my assigned alt account, so that it wouldn't have been immediately obvious to anyone who'd started reading the first. At least I was cognizant enough to not *immediately* re-post it under my alt account so it wouldn't be blatantly obvious. I was sure I'd posted it under the right account, too (separate window signed into echochamber instead of my usual forums.xkcd), but maybe I accidentally followed a link or something and got re-signed in...I'll just use incognito windows and manual sign-in from now on or something.

Lataro - my apologies again for the screwup. It seems like an awesome game so far, I *really* like some of the mechanics you've come up with utilizing the alt accounts, and it must be frustrating to both of us to have account-linking going on :/

[eculc]

SLJ

Spoiler:

on the off chance thst someone decides to investigate mpolo, I changed his reported alignment to SK. I hope it makes a difference, since it's the only thing I accomplished before I was murdered with extreme prejudice.

[mpolo]

I need a replacement in Hunting of the Snark. PM if you're interested.

[KrO2]

SLJ

Spoiler:

Looks like Dr Ug is going to get lynched. I also just noticed there isn't actually a period after the "Dr". Oops.
Anyway, I don't think lynching him is optimal even though I think he's scummiest. With one scum out of six remaining, I'll guess at 25% chance it's him. I can't make this prediction after the lynch because it's nightless. And if he dies and turns up town, they'll never have seen the cop result proving I'm innocent. This could suck.

[Ezri Dax]

Only one? I think several mod-prods are in order.

[Ezri Dax]

DS9

Spoiler:

I'm lynx for those not playing, having a good old time in this game.

Role Name: Lieutenant Ezri Dax
Power: Able to console a player, gaining day chat with them for that day only. Can not be used on the same player twice in a row.
Posting Restriction: Must express doubts about your abilities in each post.
Primary Win: Eliminate Founder threat.
Secondary Win: Ensure Benjamin Sisko survives.

The win conditions are moot though as I'm a Founder: factional nightkill, day and nightchat, and we can take over someone's account once per game. I used my daychat power though on Benjamin Sisko, I think I may have gained myself a useful ally for later on

By the way, sorry to whoever is playing Benjamin Sisko! I'm having to be very tricksy here to make you trust me.

Spoiler:

If I were in this game, there are a couple of players I wouldn't kill/lynch, not because I think they're town/scum, but because I want to keep reading their in-character posting...

Seems like my death made the town guess better. We guys might have a chance! Also, SoC replacing eculc? This was the weirdest replacement ever.

[wam]

Lataros Newbie game

Spoiler:

Relax roband, I have it covered. I have asked lynx in hen chat to protect you instead of adam. The only people who know that I have asked this are adam, lynx and pete. Therefore if you die lynx is scum. If adam dies one or both of them are scum. But thanks as by making me argue more about whether you should be protected you are inadvertently helping my plan!

I need to decide on a target tonight I am thinking pete as at this stage having scum in the hen group is going to be really annoying.

Aha, due to someone's cock up in Lataro's Newbie, it looks like I'm Vic Fountaine...

Lataro, just thought up a potential spoiler problem for DS9 that I will PM you about.

[wam]

Lataros Newbie game

Spoiler:

Argh I think im doing the right thing but im now racked by uncertainty. If I have cocked this up and lynx is a doctor I apologise profusely to town.

[wam]

Lataros newbie game

Spoiler:

I seem to have caused chaos! I think the issue is that I don't fully trust my own judgement therefore would like adam (a guaranteed townie and reading the mason chat) to back up what im saying. Pete agrees with me but of course he could be scum. So to all the people reading this at the end of the game im sorry for causing all this chaos. I do have good logic and im fairly certain (90%) that lynx is scum.

Spoiler:

ERrrr did mpolo just reveal that he is the Irish guy?

[KrO2]

SLJ

Spoiler:

It has come to my attention that I am an idiot. I could have saved Dr Ug. Without even doing anything stupid. I didn't even think of the fact that I'm a vote rigger. All I had to do was switch a vote from him to NU and we could have won the game by now. But no, I was too busy mentally associating "change the votes" with "self-defense" and now the outcome isn't certain.

[Vieto]

SLJ (mpolo may want to read)

Spoiler:

mpolo was actually town, but Eculc changed what his outward role is, so now everyone thinks he is a serial killer.

I was quite confused about that one, but actually found it in the spoilers before reading your explanation. Of course, since I already claimed my targets, we'll see what happens, I suppose.

Is there actually a scum kill in this game?

[PeteP]

Lataros newbie game

Spoiler:

Till the end I feared that lynx would just tell his scum mate everything over the thread, since he couldn't escape the lynch anymore. Okay if we block one of the kills, it's 4/2/1 and getting lynx scum mate would mean victory. If we don't get his mate or lose 2 it will be hard. Ideally scum kills scum, but that would be to perfect.

Spoiler:

I gave New User a 1-shot kill, he never got to use it. The plan was that they can change what a player's apparent alignment was, in order to fool the cops and convince town to lynch town (and to think they were right)

[Lataro]

Newbie Setup:

Spoiler:

roband just pulled a Lataro.

Scum is almost assured to win now after he got the doc lynched. Now it's just a matter of if it's his scum team, or the other. NK's and a town kingmaker will decide this.

If rob had been lynched, town would have had a fairly good chance at victory. Adam had done a terrific job with recruits, hitting a cop and two docs.

[UniqueScreenname]

Hunting of the Snark

Spoiler:

As elated as I am that people think I'm town, I'm a bit concerned the SK will take me out. I'll be really upset if I get NK'd on the first time I did a decent job as scum.

[BoomFrog]

DS9

Spoiler:

My power would be so overpowered in the hands of a good scum player. Opps, lynch pardoned and then the lynchee shape-shifts to a new identity that night. Of course then if anyone ever found I was a lynch pardoner they would know I was scum, so I'd have to falseclaim my power if it ever came up. I wonder if someone has a power that can stop a shapeshift. Anyway, I need to find a balance between finding scum and not appearing to townie so I won't be killed/taken over. There has to be a better way to utilize of Morn. I would LOVE to have morn's power. I had a lot of fun as scum Mason recruiter in Gargoyles.

Lataro's newbie game

Spoiler:

been too busy to post or read spoilers but just want to say I'm pretty angry I wasn't trusted enough to be brought into the conversation with wam and Pete! I've come round to thinking they're most likely both telling the truth, but roband is a lying liar who got lucky that I wasn't around to change people's minds. you heard it here first (well if you're reading spoilers then probably not), the four scum are Tim, roband, Snark and Lawsome. Not sure the teams but I'll properly read through later.

Yep, you nailed it on those four.

Best part is, PeteP doctor'ed roband tonight. He'll have trouble not getting lynched tomorrow, but in the mean time, his stunt has taken a very likely town win and turned it into a very likely scum win, his team or the other is unclear yet.

Spoiler:

Edit: Yeah, this was more about what I *thought* he was saying than what he actually in retrospect seems to have said, so Nog, when you read this? This was about imaginary Nog who was complaining about all the confusing flavoryspeak, so my apologies, consider this to be about some asshole Nog'. To anyone who has or ever does bitch about roleplaying in this game, though? These will still pretty much be my thoughts. (except slightly less raegy 'cause look it'd been a long week)

God, there is NOTHING I hate more than people who complain when other players roleplay. Even when I am not roleplaying myself. I have ALWAYS FUCKING HATED IT and if Nog isn't careful I am going to kick his goddamn ass. This is an opinion I have always held. "Why are you having FUN and being IN-CHARACTER? I don't want to have to THINK about what people are saying in a Mafia game!!" You signed up for the wrong fucking game then, sweetheart, but I think you genuinely haven't noticed it. LUTHER SLOAN has noticed it, sugar, that means I can officially explain it to you in small words any time I want under the "incredibly obvious" escape clause in my...

Oh, that first line? I saved a list of quotes from people displaying/explicitly stating that they have post restrictions. I think I'm being hostile enough already. I will probably regret posting this spoiler while angry, too, I'm already sorry for that comment about O'Brien's accent (sorry, chief!), but fuck it: I HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE FUCKING DO THAT. In this game it is even worse, because not ONLY is it a DICK MOVE to tell people to STOP HAVING FUN playing the mafia GAME, but IT IS A VITAL FUCKING POINT OF THIS GAME, and if you GENUINELY haven't noticed that, after the half-dozen obvious restrictions and the logs and the alt accounts and the emphasis on "IN-CHARACTER" in the OP, then I REALLY DO NOT KNOW IF THIS IS THE GAME FOR YOU.

Jesus fuck. It's like saying "I don't like how you're writing all those words using LETTERS. I don't like how you're typing them with your hands... Why are you killing people just because the mod told you you were a mafia goon?..."

...And by the time anyone reads this, I will be over it and quite embarrassed XP

Spoiler:

I have found this to be a very tough D1. Luther was definitely acting scummy enough for a D1 lynch. We have a lot of lurkers though. I am really not happy with the whole Morn thing. Afterall .. we wouldn't tolerate lurking and saying they can't follow the game from someone posting in thread. I can't believe people are thinking it is ok with someone who is not posting in thread. I feel for his posting restriction, but he really could be more a part of the game.

And I really don't understand what I have done to tick off Sisko, lol.

Still really love Garek!
