Archer [Mafia] |OT| Wait, I Had Something For This

Good morning, ISIS Agents! I’m happy to see that some of you managed to squirm your way out of your Green Russian-soaked dens of sexual deviancy to come to work today. Yes, I’m looking at you, Sterling. Please don’t sit in any of the chairs, I just had them all disinfected.

Anyway, I am literally shaking with rage! You all don’t seem the slightest bit concerned about the security of this office, and you’ve let someone infiltrate this agency! It’s probably those KGB bastards!

You’d think this wouldn’t normally be a problem, but that damned genetic clone of Hitler went off and accidentally unleashed some sort of toxin into the ventilation, leaving us all face-blind, nose-blind, and ear-blind!

…If I meant “deaf,” I would have said “deaf!” Clearly you can still hear me! Now shut up, all of you!

We need to find out who has penetrated our defenses and remove them…violently if necessary. But, I’ve just received a slew of new contracts from the federal government, and, well, the new golden curtains in my boudoir at home aren’t going to pay for themselves, so you’re still on the clock! I’ll be distributing your mission dossiers each day, so READ THEM!

And one last thing, do not, under any circumstances, come into my office without knocking. I have important business to atte- WHAT ON EARTH? Who dropped doughnuts on the floor? Don’t you know that’s how you get ants? PAM!

sigh

Whatever. Get to work, cretins.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| Rules |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Game-Specific Rules
-3. The standard Mafia structure applies; however, there is a unique mechanic being added for this game - missions.

-2. In addition to your standard voting, each player may volunteer to go out on a mission. The first (up to) 4 players to do so will be selected. During each night, unless otherwise specified, players who go out on a mission may only target each other; same rules apply to those left behind. A special night-chat will be provided for all players that go out on a mission. This night-chat will only last for that one night - however those who had access will continue to have access after night has ended (read-only).

-1. In the event one of the players is assassinated (NOTE: Assassinated = Lynched = Evicted = Detained, etc.) during the day phase, they will be replaced by the next player in line for the mission.

0. You may volunteer for the mission by posting VOLUNTEER on a separate line. If you’d like the un-volunteer, post UNVOLUNTEER in the thread. However, should you choose to volunteer again, you’ll move to the back of the queue.

Fundamental
1. All site-wide rules are also applicable here. Please do not tarnish this community.
2. Unless your Role PM explicitly allows you to do otherwise, discussion about this game is strictly confined to this thread.
3. Unless your role PM explicitly allows you to do otherwise, do not quote or posts screen-shots of any PMs or posts that were not made in this thread. Obviously this is a grey area, but please try and play sportingly.
4. Within reason, you are allowed to lie about any game material or game-related conversations that could conceivably have appeared outside this thread [such as the content of role PMs or private chats allowed by a role]. If unsure whether a lie is reasonable, please PM the game-runner.
5. Do not refer or discuss to player activity in other forum threads or life in general beyond the game.
6. The player list includes the preferred personal pronoun of each player. Please try to use the correct pronoun.
7. Please be nice to your fellow players. Mafia can be a tense experience, and occasionally aggressive play is useful, but remember this is game and that everyone should have fun.

Activity and Deadlines
8. Treat this game as a commitment. Remember that other players' fun is dependent on your participation; this game only works if you remain reasonably active.
9. If you do not post in this thread at least once per Day Phase period without prior permission, you will be sent a PM requesting you respond immediately (a "prod"). If you do not respond to a prod by the end of the following Night Phase, you will be replaced.
10. If you need an extended period of absence for some other issues in life, please notify the game-runner by PM in advance. Leave of up to one Day and Night Phase (seven days) is possible.
11. If you expect to be unable to post for a period of 7 days, please notify the game-runner by PM so that you can be replaced in good time - we're sad to see you go, but other players need to be able to continue to play.
12. Each Day Phase will last 4 days. Day Phases officially begin when the game-runner notifies players in the game thread, and end exactly 96 hours later (by NeoGAF post time-stamps).
13. Each Night phase will last 3 days. Night Phases officially begin when the game-runner notifies players in the game thread, and end exactly 72 hours later (by NeoGAF post time-stamps).
14. If a Phase ends and the game-runner has not received an action PM from a player with a relevant action, then that Phase will end with that that player making no action.
15. If a replacement is needed, they may PM the game-runner once to request the Night Phase in which they join is extended by up to 2 days, to allow catch-up time.
16. Game-runners may change the length of Phases at their discretion. However, they will inform players at the start of the equivalent Phase before (i.e., if Day 7 is set to be shortened, players will be no later than the start of Day 6).

Voting, Assassination, and Death
17. For your vote to count, it must be presented in the following format: VOTE: Ourobolus, via use of the highlight tag. It must also be in an entirely separate line from any other text.
18. To remove a vote from a player, you must present in the following format: UNVOTE: Ourobolus, via use of the highlight tag. It must also be in an entirely separate line from any other text. It is not necessary to unvote before casting new vote for a different player; unvoting is simply to remove a vote without casting a new one.
19. Players may use VOTE: No Kill to end the Day Phase without an assassination ("No Lynch"). It must also be in an entirely separate line from any other text.
20. Misspelt votes will be accepted within reason; if the game-runner is unsure they will notify you and in the meanwhile discount the vote. Votes in broken tags will not count.
21. Once an option has received a strict majority (50%+) of the available votes, the day ends with the Assassination of that player or a No Kill (whichever applies). Once this has happened, any further votes or unvotes that Phase will not be counted, and the Night Phase will begin shortly.
21b. If a day ends with a tie, the vote automatically becomes "No Lynch."
22. In addition, once the time limit for the Day Phase has been reached, no more votes will be counted. So if the day is scheduled to end at 4:00PM, all votes placed by 4:00PM (based on GAF timestamp) will count. Votes placed at 4:01PM or later will not.
23. Some roles take place between the end of the Day Phase and the start of the Night Phase, so game-runners may allow a short period of time for this "Twilight Phase". Unless your role PM explicitly allows you to do otherwise, do not post during the Twilight Phase.
24. Once you are dead, you are dead: you may no longer discuss the game in ANY manner with ANY of the remaining players. Dead players may PM the game-runner one last message for the other players (a "Will"), which the game-runner will post on their behalf in the thread. The sole condition is that it contains NO game-relevant information, e.g. "Thanks guys for an excellent game!" is allowed, "My partner was John!" is not.

The Dead Thread
25. To allow dead players to freely discuss the game with other dead players, a secret thread will be created.
26. On death, a player can either opt to join the replacement list, or receive a link to the Dead Thread. They may not do both. If a player opted to join the replacement list, they may change their mind, but players who have a link to the Dead Thread cannot act as replacements.
27. The Dead Thread will also be made available to non-players, provided they have played in at least one GAF mafia game before in which they did not go inactive. These non-players will also be disbarred from the replacement list.

Other
28. Outside of votes and explicit allowances made by role PMs, the use of the highlight tag is strictly the game-runner's prerogative. Do not use it.
29. Do not edit your posts. If you are a repeat offender, a replacement will be sought.
30. Do not use the email tags to hide extra content in your posts.
31. A list of the votes so far (a "Vote Count") can be requested by contacting any game-runner or game-tutor.
32. Game-runners reserve the right to add, remove, or modify existing any rules at any point, and enforcement may be applied retrospectively. However, all players will be informed of changes.
33. In general, do not try and exploit loop-holes in the rules.
34. Completed GAF games are often read by people thinking of signing up in the future. As such, please keep your avatar spoiler free - it should not allude to your role or alignment.
35. HAVE FUN!

EDIT: we've had discussions in previous games about posting an example role so that there are less shenanigans during the game. So here it is:
You are an Ordinary Drone.

You are aligned with ISIS (the agency, not the terrorist organization).

You have no abilities other than voting! Your vote is your power!

You win when all KGB players are eliminated.

Feel free to PM me any questions about your role. The public game thread is here.

DAY 7 HAS ENDED

NbsFFOb.png

Malory walked out of her office, having heard what sounded like the scream of a woman...or Cyril.
The agents gathered in a circle, a body lying in the middle of the floor. EzekelRAGE stood forward, brandishing a pistol, the barrel still emanating a bit of heat and smoke.
"Wha...what on earth happened?" Malory exclaimed.
EzekelRAGE hid the offending weapon behind his back and responded, "I have no idea. The gun goes off for like, no reason. Anyway, Burbeting was the one who did it!"
"Burbeting's dead, you idiot!"
"Oh, right. Where was I?"
"You were...wait a minute..." Malory rubbed her eyes as the shapes in front of her began to finally focus. "Sterling? Is that you?"
"Uh, yeah, and/or 'duh.'" Sterling countered.
Malory scanned the people in front of her, counting twelve remaining agents. All of them...ISIS!
She gazed at the body on the floor, the corpse of QuantumBro splayed out in a pool of blood. "Sigh...of course it would have to be her. I knew that whore couldn't leave well enough alone." She motioned to her office. "Backup Krieger #2, get in here!"
As soon as the words left her lips, Krieger came running out of her office. "I know I've been hiding this entire time, but really, did you have to wait until the other two had died already?"
"Oh shut up. We didn't need you anyway. Take this body and have it examined."
QuantumBro said:
You are Katya Kazanova, the Honeypot.

You are aligned with the KGB.

A Russian secret agent, you’ve honed...your...skills...what? Where am I? Look, you’re just hot. Like, ridiculously hot. And your genitals are detachable. That’s awesome.
Each night phase, you may block another player from taking action by PMing me the command BLOCK: <player>. You also have a special kill role. Should you block Sterling Archer, you will end up killing him as well, because let&#8217;s face it; he always falls for the honeypot.

Your partners are: LOL

Night Phase Assassination
Each night phase, one of the KGB-aligned players may assassinate one of the non-KGB-aligned players by PMing me with the command KILL: <player>. This action will be associated with the player who sent the PM.

During the Night Phase, you may plot and scheme with your other KGB-aligned players in a private QuickTopic board found here.

You win when the KGB outnumbers or is equal to the amount of non-KGB players.

Extra Roles
As this is a cosplay-themed game, it stands to reason that good guys are named after good characters, and bad guys named after bad characters. To help out the KGB, here are a few roles that are not being used by the other players for you to pretend to be if you need to lie:
Ron Cadillac - The Used Car Dealer - You can swap two players at night.
Woodhouse - The Valet - You can use your stash of heroin to cause another player to target someone at random rather than their actual target.
Bilbo - The Nerd - You can put a tracking device on any player on a mission to track their movements. You&#8217;ll receive notification if they perform an action.
Note that you do not actually assume these roles - this is just information for you to use, if you choose.

Feel free to PM me any questions about your role. The public game thread is here.

THE GAME IS OVER. WINNERS: ISIS!

The remaining players are:
EzekelRAGE:
You are Sterling Archer, the Duchess.

You are aligned with ISIS (the agency, not the terrorist organization).

As the world's greatest Secret (but not-so-secret) Agent, you've been honing your skills for your entire adult life to compensate for your massive Mommy issues. As such, you're bulletproof, to an extent. You can survive one night assassination. However, you have a weakness: the Honeypot. You always fall for the Honeypot. Should you be targeted by the Honeypot, not even your training will be able to save you.

You win when all KGB players are eliminated.

Feel free to PM me any questions about your role. The public game thread is here.

YesNOnoNOYes:
You are Cyril Figgis, and you&#8217;re a Sex Addict. (Hi, Cyril!)

You are aligned with ISIS (the agency, not the terrorist organization).

After a devastating break-up with Lana, you&#8217;ve resorted to banging your way across the fifty states, claiming that you&#8217;re addicted to sex. Each night, you MUST pick up the candy wrapper that you use as a contraceptive and visit a player of your choosing by PMing me the command &#8220;VISIT: <player>.&#8221; This will roleblock the player you visit. However, if your target is attacked, both of you will be killed.

Note: If for some reason you fail to send me a target for the night, one will be selected at random.

You win when all KGB players are eliminated.

Feel free to PM me any questions about your role. The public game thread is here.

Enker:
You are Cheryl/Carol/Cherlene Tunt, the Heiress.

You are aligned with ISIS (the agency, not the terrorist organization).

When you&#8217;re not getting high on eating rubber cement or feebly trying to housetrain your pet ocelot, you like to sleep on a pile of money while your servants cater to your every whim. Sometimes though, shouting and threats of making your co-workers choke you to orgasm aren&#8217;t enough for your voice to be heard. So once per game, you may override any vote during the day phase by bribing Malory, sealing your choice as the assassination target for the day. Post OVERRIDE: <player> in the thread to activate this role. This will immediately end the day phase.

You win when all KGB players are eliminated.

Feel free to PM me any questions about your role. The public game thread is here.

Hobohodo:
You are Pam Poovey, the Peeping Tom.

You are aligned with ISIS (the agency, not the terrorist organization).

Sure, you can fit three pool balls in your mouth. Sure, you can drink three gallons of Jaegermeister. And sure, you can get punched in the face countless times without breaking a sweat. But you know what? None of that matters. You&#8217;ve got your trusty binoculars at your side and you&#8217;re gonna do whatever you want with yourself while you watch someone else. During each night phase, you can target a player by PMing me the command PEEP: <player>. You&#8217;ll receive a report of who targeted your target, but not their actions.

You win when all KGB players are eliminated.

Feel free to PM me any questions about your role. The public game thread is here.

squidyj:
You are Brett Bunson, the Buttmonkey.

You are aligned with ISIS (the agency, not the terrorist organization).

You don&#8217;t have a lot going for you, but you&#8217;re extremely good at one thing - getting shot. Not the best of skills, but a skill nonetheless. Once per game, you may PM me the command ATTRACT to cause ALL night actions to affect you.

You win when all KGB players are eliminated.

Feel free to PM me any questions about your role. The public game thread is here.

I've mentioned it in the other thread, but I'll be at Gencon Wed-Monday, so I may be slow responding to PMs or posting in the thread if the game starts before then. I'm definitely playing though!

Edit:

Are we still doing phrasing?

Double edit since the game hasn't started yet and you can't stop me you gin-soaked harpy.

Well done on the fluff so far. Also, I'm sorry about the Hitler-clone.

Party time.

Also, I am one of those &#8220;GAF blocked at work&#8221; folks, so it&#8217;s posting at night (EST) during the week - if you&#8217;re wondering what happened to me. Nothing shady about that, no sir.

Suspicious from the get go. I will install secret microphone in this "GAF blocked at work" white-collar individual.

I expect juicy sweating.

You can have some if you want, I'm actually making kung pao chicken tomorrow so I'm pretty stoked about stir fry. I wanted to find the relevant archer clip but I guess it's not online :(

But I find your deflecting the sharing onto me to be quite suspicious. so I think we're gonna have to lynch you.

I guess I will have to just slip in, nice and easy...

That flavor text in the intro was absolutely spot on. Like, that is totally how Mallory would talk. Can't wait to see this game unfold!

Literally the only things I know about Archer are that "stop, my penis can only get so erect" gif and something something danger zone. Maybe I should watch a few episodes to get a little bit more context, i mean apparently it has a genetic clone of Hitler in it, so it is probably great!

Anyway, reading the flavor text makes me think that every player will get a secondary objectives each day to complete or something along those lines. That would be a very interesting twist.

I'll admit that there may be a few things lost on people through the flavor text. However, I knew next to nothing about AC in the last game and still had a blast.

Hey, Ourobolus, could you clarify this rule for me? :
-2. In addition to your standard voting, each player may volunteer to go out on a mission. The first (up to) 4 players to do so will be selected. During each night, unless otherwise specified, players who go out on a mission may only target each other; same rules apply to those left behind. A special night-chat will be provided for all players that go out on a mission. This night-chat will only last for that one night - however those who had access will continue to have access after night has ended (read-only).

So if you go on a mission with other people, you have to target one of the other mission members? Does that person get killed in addition to the mafia kill?

If anyone has a special role that targets someone, they can only use it on people in their vicinity - either back at base or on a mission. Mafia is still limited by the typical one-kill-per-night rule, unless they have a special role that allows them to do otherwise.

Ah, I get it. So A Mafia member on a mission can't target anybody left behind himself, but he is still able to talk to his mafia buddies and get someone else to do his dirty work if he wants someone left behind death?
