The Simpsons Mafia - Game Thread

[President Jeff]

THE SIMPSONS MAFIA RULES

*I took the rules from Jules game and changed them slightly, be sure to read them*

1. Absolutely no talking about this game anywhere except in this thread, unless your role states you are allowed to do so. Anyone found guilty of doing so will be mod-killed and it will make you look like a giant arsehole to the rest of the community.

2. Once you’re dead you’re dead – NO MORE POSTING!

3. No quoting PMs at all for any reason. Any questions about your role then PM the moderator.

4. No talking at night. You’ll get 1 warning. Next time, your dead

5. Do not character claim under any circumstances. You will be mod-killed if you do. As far as role-claiming goes, strictly speaking it is not prohibited, but you should think about the pros and cons of doing so before you actually do it.

6. Under no circumstances are you allowed to edit your posts. I will be strict on this matter: do it once and you will lose your day and/or and night powers for a full day/night cycle (it's role dependent, and I will decide the penalty on a case by case basis). Do it a second time and you lose all powers for the rest of the game. If you're stupid enough to do it three times you will be modkilled. If you need to amend something post again with the abbreviation EBWOP (Edit By Way Of Post) as the title in the body of the message.

7. All posts must consist entirely of visible letters. Do not use text that needs to be highlighted to read, or is too small to be read, or involves any sort of nonsense that makes life difficult. You can code your messages/post pictures/links/videos, but do it sensibly.

8. When voting you must do so in bold, e.g. vote: Farq. Votes not in bold do not count. Unvoting should be done in the same manner, but I will count unvoting if it isn’t in bold. If you change your vote please try to prefix it with an unvote, e.g. unvote; vote: Jeff. It’s not essential, it just helps me to keep everything organized.

9. You’re not dead unless I say you are. Until I confirm a lynch feel free to continue the discussion. (NB New Players: once the ‘hammer’ has been dropped a lynch cannot be undone by unvoting.)

10. Days last 72 hours; nights last 24 hours, during which you submit night actions. If I receive all night actions early I may end the night prematurely. This is at my discretion and/or convenience. Mod Kills due to inactivity will happen during the night. Mod kills due to rule breaking will end the day and go into the night.

11. Days and Nights begin and end when I say they do. Sometimes they may overrun for RL reasons, but adhere to the rules about day and night phases until I confirm transition to the next phase.

12. Please submit night actions by PM with a title that states the night your action pertains to, e.g. ‘Mafia Night #1 Action’. Again, this helps me to stay organized. For the benefit of any new players, do not submit night actions in the game thread. You won’t be punished for it, but you won’t do yourself any favours.

13. You don’t have to confirm your role, but feel free to do so. PM me if you haven’t received your role information, or if you have any questions about it. I’m repeating myself here, but do not ask the moderator role-specific questions in the game thread.

14. I expect you to be active. The game will not survive without activity, so get stuck in. If you are inactive for 48 hours I will prod you; if you don’t respond within 24 hours I will mod-kill or replace you.

15. Do not post in this thread if your name is NOT on the players list.

16. Remember it is just a game. Some people play the game more aggressively than others, so don’t take anything seriously. However, please refrain from personal insults and if there are any grudges held, then be so kind as to leave them outside the game. Respect your moderator and all players. If I think anyone is breaking this rule I will warn them; if they persist I will mod-kill them.

17. I reserve the right to change any of these rules as I see fit without notice.

18. I reserve the right to edit my posts as I see fit.

19. If you think I missed anything let me know through PM, but usual mafia rules apply.

Short version: No talking outside the thread unless instructed, no night-talking, no character-claiming, don’t edit posts or quote PMs, don’t be a dickhead and above all else be active and enjoy the game.

NB: I’m going to send out role PMs now. Don’t post until you have your role PM and I’ve posted the first write-up.

[President Jeff]

Kent: Hello, I’m Kent Brockman and this is Eye on Springfield



Kent: Tonight, tragedy has happened at the Quick E Mart. Convience store owner, Apu Nahasapeemapetilon has been shot and killed. Police are on the scene and with us right now is the chief of police, Chief Wiggum. Chief Wiggum, are there any leads at the moment

We cut to outside the Quick E Mart with Chief Wiggum drinking a slushie

Chief Wiggum: No leads yet Kent, and right now, everyone is a suspect.

We cut back to Kent

Kent: Mayor Quimby has brought the town together for a town meeting and we just happen to have camera there….Hold on a second, if everyone is at the town meeting, who‘s watching this?

We cut to the town meeting where we see Mayor Quimby standing on a stage in front of a podium. He bangs a hammer on the podium to get everyone’s attention

Mayor Quimby: People please. it’s a tragic with what happened to Apu, but we need to help the police find out who did this.

Marge Simpson: I think the cops should question everyone and go from there

Ned Flanders: We need a neighborhood watch.

Lisa: Why don’t we just look at the surveillance camera?

Mayor Quimby: The Little Girl is right. Lets get that Surveillance video and get that scum!

Everyone rushes out of the town hall


DEAD: Apu Nahasapeemapetilon

[Michael Jennings]

Oh great. We're in the joke phase. Can it be night one please? I can't stand this joke vote stuff, lol.

Speaking of that...Harvey, are you trying to get the attention onto someone who isn't in the game in order to get our focus off the game?

[Jules]

Okay, since I want to put an end to the non-constructive joke voting, I'm gonna beat Kurt Noble and put out that stock day 1 discussion question.

Any thoughts/theories on the balance of the game?

18 Players, I'd say we're dealing with 4-6 anti-town players (that seems to be within the recommend threshold).

As for the split, well that could be anything. I guess only night 1 is going to (hopefully) reveal any info about that.

[President Jeff]

Homer walks into Moe’s Tavern and sits at the bar.

Homer: Hey Moe, give me a duff.

Moe pours Homer: a glass of beer

Lenny: Hey Homer, did you hear about what happened to Apu?

Carl: Someone shot and killed him

Homer: What a shame

Moe: I guess that means his wife is on the market huh?

Got my role.

And didnt have any thoughts on the game until jeff's vote count.

Moe is in red.

Wouldnt have pegged him as a scum member at all. So I really have no idea what characters Jeff has included.

But I would wage against a Mafia/Town. Not overly sure on a 3rd party, but I doubt it this game.

[Michael Callahan]

Got my role.

Vote: A Flock of Seagulls

[goodburn]

Well gosh, I'm trying to follow what you guys are saying, but I'm just left blinking blankly...

Somebody want to be kind and explain what Blade said?

Which part?

[C.J. Gates]

I had the same thought as Blade when Moe was red, didn't expect it. It will really be interesting to see what characters Jeff has as scum, though.

[T-Marv]

unvote

I think it's safe to assume there's about 5 scum. As far as powers are concerned, I haven't the slightest idea. Could literally be anything.

As for characters...it surprises me to see MOE as scum. Other scum candidates are Mr. Burns, Smithers, Sideshow Bob....etc, it could be anybody.

I also doubt there'd be a 3rd party as well, but I could see it being somebody like sideshow bob...or another such character.

Honestly, this game could manifest so many ways.

[Jules]

It hadn't really occurred to me until Blade brought it up (not that Moe was in red, but that this would be a significant thing). But then I didn't really have any expectations of which characters would be town and which anti-town. I haven't watch the show in years but I seem to remember the Simpsons having plenty of characters that could go each way, and there was always something malevolent about Moe The Bartender.

The simpsons actually have their own mafia, so that is why i am confused about Moe.

Also, ahead of him i would have thrown Nelson, Mr Burns, Jimbo and Slema/Thelma.
