Announcement Post


Welcome to the 86th NWR Mafia Game. It's been awhile. Thanks for taking the time to do this again!

For Day 1, the Day Thread will be open for a maximum of just under 47 hours. Voting will end and the thread will close at Midnight EST Oct. 8 aka 9:00 PM PST Oct. 7 aka Noon Perth Time Oct. 8. However, the thread and Day could end early if a Majority Vote is reached.

There are currently 18 players still alive in this game meaning 10 votes would be needed for a Majority Vote.

There is an option to abstain from voting anyone out with the No Vote choice. Read about it in the Rules.

Yes, I haven't quite finished writing up all the rules. I still need to post about the power-ups/treasures available this game for Luigi/Gooigi. However, that stuff mainly is for the benefit of the two players with those roles. I'll make sure they are up to speed with those abilities before we get too far in this game.

I have also contacted the player who has the Dark Moon crystal to start the game. That is the only Ghost (Townie) who knows what item is assigned to them.

If you want to contact me via private messages on the forum or through Discord and the NWR Server, I will be doing my best to keep checking both places and be available to you through the medium you prefer. As well, if you would prefer I contact you either here or on Discord then let me know and I'll try to make that my primary way to communicate to you for when I need to reach you on a matter.

There is no voting requirement for this game. No one will be automatically eliminated if they haven't voted for so many days. I leave it to the players to decide if they will let other users stay under the radar with little voting activity.

I know the Luigi's Mansion game doesn't exactly have iconic standout enemies so role-playing for this game may be harder. One of the more popular choices of a Boo Buddy is being used for making up the Mafia so selecting that could make one a target so use that at your own risk. At the same time, there is a lot of blank canvas that a person could just take a character and make-up whatever they want with and sometimes that's more fun than trying to nail the characterization of a more iconic character. There is no rule about role-playing so don't worry about it if you don't care about it.

I think that wraps up the main points for now. I'll probably be posting some other points in the day thread as the game progress on Day 1 to alert players about certain points for the game so that they don't have to keep checking back on this post.

Game on!

What I've learned from playing a lot of Apex Legends is that games are more fun if you jump into spicy locations.  In that spirit, Vote Shyguy.

I'm excited about this one because it's Halloween month and we're playing Luigi's mansion.

Wait, so all these characters are ghosts except Luigi  ??? I guess there really aren't many mortals in the games. Also, where is the ghost cat from the newest game? It's almost like the host hasn't played Luigi's Mansion 3. (https://static1-us.millenium.gg/articles/7/82/17/@/87357-1191924-ecto-chat-article-image-bd-1-article_image_bd-1.jpg)

You know, there's also good multiplayer in Luigi's Mansion 3 (and 2), maybe we should play that too!

Vote Stratos because I'm pretty sure he hasn't bought Luigi's Mansion 3 yet.

Don't make come into this game and start taking all you clowns down! I know EVERYTHING!!! You don't want to mess with me. I'll switch this whole game over to a Metroid theme instead SO HELP ME GOD!!! SERENITY NOW!!

I know about the Polterkitty. I was trying to figure out what characters might kind of fit with the roles but it was pretty hard to always come up with a decent match-up. I've got reasons for selecting who I have. The good news is you can role-play as Polterkitty if you think the game needs more cats in it. (Which, honestly, every game could use more of.)

I've only played the original Luigi's Mansion. Unfortunately, (sigh) that was 20 years ago too.

I was actually really hyped for Luigi's mansion when it came out because the first game I beat was the PC version of Mario is Missing. I need to install that and play it on a DOS PC emulator. I still have the disc and manual.

Historically, I don't have any trust for Mop it Up, and I also don't remember why that is. I think Mop it Up started a bandwagon that ousted me.  But maybe I remember that wrong.

The problem when Khush is the host is I can’t start a bandwagon against him for no reason, and thus I really don’t know what to do for Day 1. Things always start so slow.

We are now at about the halfway point of Day 1. About 24 hours left for Day 1 if no majority is reached before then.

Current tally:

Mop it up - 2
No Vote - 1
pokepal148 - 1
ShyGuy - 1
Stevey - 1
Stratos - 1


That's the Day 1 non-consensus I love to see.

Alright. The Items/Treasure/Power-ups/Abilities/Whatever else you want to call them are finally posted in the Rules and Roles thread.

I realized one of the Items kind of resembled Polterpup's actions in Luigi's Mansion 2 so I decided to make a superficial change and rename the townie vigilante as Ug from LM3 to give the item the Polterpup designation. Because I was typing that section up when Mr. Bungle commented on Polterkitty, I had thought about changing the Townie Vigilante to that character but then pokepal took on its identity for roleplaying in this game now so I decided to go with Ug. A vigilante sort of represents a caveman attitude, doesn't it? In any case, I left Captain Fishhook from you players so someone better take advantage of that cool character!

Also, as a reminder for those that this pertains to: After the Day ends, there will be a 12 hour Night period for you to send in your actions/orders if your role allows you to do so for Night 1. In case anyone is wondering how long they have before actions are due.

Hey, folks. Bogmire here. Kermit the Frog said it wasn't easy being green. He should try being purple! Sitting on a log singing to the forest creatures is easy! Try living in a swampy graveyard with corpses for company! Sigh. There's a reason why people sing "A Pirate's life for me" instead of a ghost's life.

*sigh*

You try and make it clear

Quote
-   If you want to change your vote then add the “un” prefix to the front of the word Vote and unbold the text. Example: un-vote Bill Aurion
-   If a player has not correctly followed the un-vote procedure then their new vote will not be vaild until it is corrected. Example: a player unbolded their previous vote of “Vote Khushrenada” and then posted Vote Bill Aurion. Even though it was unbolded, the un was not added to the word vote so neither the old vote nor the new vote are valid.


And then you get this....

Hey guys! I think I found a Boo already!

vote Stevey



Honestly, the whole unvote thing feels like it become overly complicated because of a situation from a game awhile ago in which a player messed up their change at a critical time. To absolve the host from being accused of favoring one result of the vote over another, it seemed like clearly stating out the only way a new vote can count in the rules and then using and pointing to whatever rule was there would be the way to separate the Host from accusations of impartiality. Unfortunately, it results in something like this where clearly the player has decided to undo their previous vote as they are now casting a new one. But because it was done in the only manner the rules state, an obvious change like this cannot count.

I don't want to be chasing players down or hoping they show up minutes before a vote ends to properly correct something that's kind of obvious. And yet, I also don't want to see the game end up in situations where some player forgot to change their past vote and then they have two votes in the thread at a critical time leaving the host stuck to decide which vote to count or if they toss them both.


(https://i.imgur.com/nLi8VcX.gif)


And maybe there is. What if we no longer worrying about editing a previous vote? Just let it be. Rather, if a player casts a new vote, it automatically invalidates their previous vote. When tallying the day vote, I use an Excel sheet with all the players listed and mark that Day's vote to their name. Thus, if I start from the end of the day thread and work back to the start, I will see the most recent vote a player made and if I come across when they made earlier, I'll know to skip it and not count it because there is already a vote I've got next to their name from later in the thread.

That said, there's no harm in a player going back and editing their previous vote to strike it out or unbold it or say unvote whoever. But at least even if they forget to do so or are rushing at the end of day, this new rule of only counting the vote posted closest to the deadline resolves that issue. Does that sound like a better plan to everyone or should I just be a stickler about how to unvote?

And if I go by that new ruling on vote changes, the current tally from this thread is:

No Vote - 5
Mop it up - 3
pokepal148 - 1
ShyGuy - 1
Stratos - 1

11 votes case so far. About 2 hours and 15 minutes left in the day.

Day 1 is locked and in the books.

Here's the final tally for the Day:


No Vote - 6 votes
pokepal148 - 2 votes
BeautifulShy - 1 vote
Mop it up - 1 vote
ShyGuy - 1 vote
Stratos - 1 vote


Now some of you may say, "Hey! Wait a minute! That's not the same tally I get when I go through the Day's thread"! And that is because, unlike you silly ghosts, I have Dark Light Goggles which enable me to see through the tricks some of you ghosts like to play on the votes cast. This allows me to see the true and actual tally for the day. Although I don't necessarily need my accurate vision to see that all of you ghosts are quite happy with how things are going for you in the Mansion and as such you do not see the need to cast anyone out of it. No Vote is the winner choice for this day so no one is eliminated from the game. Well, I guess we'll see how that decision works out for you as the game progresses. I'll be going to bed now. Hopefully nothing crazy happens during the night.......



Night Actions are due in 12 hours from the time stamp of this post.
