The (extra) Rules
1. The moderator will apologize in his third post, both for not making this rules post sooner and for not initially including the thematic information in it.
2. Each scene has a set length. Therefore, each Day and each Night will as well; the effect of this is the existence of strict deadlines, to be announced at the start of each of these periods. However, because there is not an exact timestamp present on posts currently (that I can tell), all posts before the thread is closed or all whispers made before the thread is opened or marked as opening will be accepted.
2a. The moderator will thank Mono profusely, but wait on updating rule 2 until he's feeling more coherent.
3. Erm... pie?
4. Oh, I know. Everyone should reply to their role whisper to confirm that they've gotten it, even if you don't have an action.
5. On the subject of role whispers, you shouldn't quote them, nor should you quote any other private communications from the mod. Even so, for your information, one version of the townie PM looks like this:You are "Foo", from the musical Bar. While you're out there to sing and perform to the best of your ability, you have no unusual powers.
You win when all threats to the theater are eliminated.
There may be others.
(slightly truncated) Theme:
Opening night is in just a few days! And while there's rumours that someone wants to produce a flop for tax reasons, spirits are high during practice. Indeed, it would seem that when you know the notes to sing, you can sing most anything.
And, indeed, no words in the vernacular can describe this great event.. but it would seem there's Trouble (with a capital T) yet to come on-stage.
Words. Words. They're all we have to go on. But will they be enough?
Today the minutes seem like hours, the hours go so slowly and still the sky is light.
Oh moon, grow bright and make this endless day endless night.So, er, yeah. I apologize for my lack of planning. Hopefully you can all forgive me--but then, the three people who have yet to respond to their role whisper certainly had better! Next time I'll keep a paper backup, not just a thumbdrive one :p
Not gonna bother setting an actual deadline for this night, as I suspect you all will be ready to go before I am at this point.
My patience is, shall we say, not infinite, and both people we're still waiting on have been on Scene since my most recent prod, but not responded.
Night will end in 48 hours, regardless of what happens at this point.
If you are not currently in the game, and feel you wish to replace one of these two should they not show up, please whisper to me in this thread for details.
If you are one of those two, please respond to your role whisper already.
If the 48 hour deadline is reached without having two players to fill those two slots, any open slots will immediately be modkilled. Any adjustment needed to keep the game on track at that point will be made immediately.
Right, here's the way things are. As expected, there weren't any last-minute replies--so, we have two modkills, of James and of lost_horizon. For the sake of my ability to fix things up properly, I will not be revealing either of their roles.
Any other corrections I've had to make have been made via whisper already; please make sure you've read any whisper you have before posting!
Any concerns you have, please whisper me (probably in-thread), and I'll sort things out right away. Now, are we ready to begin?

The curtain rises, and the spotlight shines on.. two piles of ash! No one seems all that surprised, oddly, but instead they glance around the stage, as if expecting something more. The stage appears otherwise unchanged, however, and Act I begins.
No other road, no other way, no day but today.
---
EDIT: Oh yeah, that deadline thing. Call it 2007-05-24 10:00:00 Scene time (GMT-7?) or so.
It's daytime! cool.
Vote La Paloma for being evil last game.
Can't argue with that I suppose, but I'd like the jury to take into consideration that, while evil, I was also very polite and a snappy dresser.
Anyways, Bugger! Not knowing James' and Lost_Horizon's alignment will make things, er, interesting. If I'd known that James was one of the laggers I could've prodded at her in person
She's been under a metric butt-load of stress just this past week. (Including running a children's theatre musical actually. Pinoccio I theenks. Maybe she just couldn't stand the thought of listening to more terrible terrible songs.)Good news is that apparently either the Mafia didn't or couldn't kill last night, or that they targetted James or Lost_horizon as well, so yay for silver linings and all that.
Anyways, Game On! I have no idea who to vote for, so Vote Kaon 'cos I've never played with him before.
1000 miles from the chimera I chase...And we're under way! No Mafia kill might suggest either James or Lost_Horizon were a Mafia scum? But like La Paloma said, Mafia could have targeted them. I wouldn't think a Mafia wouldn't be able to kill night 1. That would make Day 1 night nigh impossible if there is absolutely no action during the night.
Now I will Vote Lacero For not writing anything worth reading.
If the mafia killed them also surely we would be told otherwise its a bit dumb. As they would be normal killed not just a kill, so.... i reckon maybe well done doc, or perhaps a blocker succeeded with a block. Either that or something bizarre we wont be able to figure out for a while. And while we are at it vote lacero for faulty er... induction/reasoning.
That would make Day 1 night nigh impossible if there is absolutely no action during the night.
Why would mafia not being able to kill night 1 make things impossible for the town? and why would it rule out any sort of action? Unless of course you mean't noone has any action during night 1, which is a different kettle of fish entirely, and also an impossibly long bow to be drawing.
Can't really ask for a sig and then not have one now, can i?but then again I will unvote as 2 votes out of a possible 4 is too many for the 4th post of the game. but i'm watching you!!

Because who seriously wants to role claim if they don't have to on Day 1? If there is no kill, there's nothing really to talk about, without having someone like the cop or the blocker/doc claim, and tell who they protected. This would ultimately get them killed Night 2, which means that we're without a doc/cop/blocker for the rest of the game.
I just don't see how it's feasible that Mafia can't kill night 2.
Of course, they could have chosen not to kill to see what happens during day 1. It would be a good tactic. Let the town lynch one of their own when they have very little information to go on, then Night 2 kill someone who was flying under the radar or someone who could possibly find them out.
But I haven't played for years, so my logic could be flawed. But then, it'll also bring in a new perspective to all you vetrans.

Sorry but having 1 person dead right now would change nothing except that one person is dead and we could say "oh X is dead" and discuss who could possibly have killed them, but it is still just guesses unless someone like a cop/doc/blocker comes out and says something, much like your scenario.
I don't see what has changed except we don't have a mafia kill, which is a good thing.

Of course not, what has this to do with anything?
Can't really ask for a sig and then not have one now, can i?Guess I should clarify, here. Here's the order things happened in at deadline:
1. James and lost_horizon were modkilled immediately.
2. Other changes necessary for the game to be balanced at 7 players were made.
3. Night choices happened; if anyone had night choices after the rebalancing that didn't before, their target was assigned randomly unless it would be obvious that they would intentionally make no choice (for instance, if there were a new vig). For the sake of both time and balance, choices made targeting either James or lost_horizon merely failed.It should work out, essentially, as though neither role were in the game, which is part of the reason I'm choosing not to reveal them now. My apologizes if you feel this is inherently unfair; no doubt there will be some analysis of what I might have done after everything's been revealed. I do ask, though, that you play the game as it lies, rather than try to make anything of prior setups.

I don't see what has changed except we don't have a mafia kill, which is a good thing.
Because generally the Mafia kill off people who either killed them, lynched them, or they don't like from previous games. If, for example, I didn't like you, and I was Mafia, I would kill you night 1, to increase my chances of winning.
It doesn't add a massive load of discussion, but it brings up some information to consider.
And as for the night choices, it looks like then that the Mafia either chose not to kill, or they were blocked/protected (basing that they can indeed, kill night 1). In this case, either the blocker or the doc should know if their choice saved/blocked someone. Now we just have to find a way to get these person's to get the name out without compromising their role. A tough ask.
Oh man, I really screwed that post up.
Meh, shouldn't be too hard to figure out what I wrote.
Is cool, quite read-able.
Basically we have a no-clue, no-kill start.
Let's get those random votes happening, I guess.
1000 miles from the chimera I chase...Let's get the mass role claim out! I am the Ultimate. I can kill, investigate, protect, block and mod kill at any time.
vote kurupt for ^^ that one.
I gots nothing at the time being.
Kurupt:
But then, it'll also bring in a new perspective to all you vetrans.
Also for spelling veterans wrong.
pace is the trick.Thank you for not voting for me tick, as you say it's a bit tight to randomly vote for the same person as someone else
UnvoteI think your roleclaim sucks Kurupt, it doesn't even fit the example given by araltaln
We have 9 days to lynch someone. Anyone want to volunteer or do we do this the hard way?
That's because we're not allowed to quote the PM.
And I missed a letter, so lynch me.
9 days is a fair bit of time. Considering 3 people still haven't posted yet, it's a bit early to start the random lynching.
