areyouacultist - Day 1

Link:5179 Sat Jan 23 00:21:23 2010

The morning was dank and cold, a blustery, gray October day. The waters off the coast of Innsmouth were rough and angry, forcing the fishermen to stay ashore. Strange sights had been reported in the woods and the feeling of them had...changed. Will-o-the-wisps danced just on the corners of your eyesight and the trees seemed to loom imposingly, the shadows between them darker somehow. Even the normal morning smell of Mrs. Crabtree's baked bread was missing, it's absence a particularly poignant indication that something was definitely wrong.

"MURDER! MURDER IN THE WOODS!" young Mr. Mayberry, the editor of Innsmouth's only newspaper The Daily Fish, shouted as he ran down Innsmouth's main boulevard.

"Murder?" the Mayor commented, hearing the cries through his open office window. Pressing the intercom he said, "Ms. Peabody, please call drfinch and ask him to go with Mayberry to the body."

A short while later the duo returned, Mr. Mayberry looking particularly upset and Dr. Finch stripping off a pair of bloody latex gloves.

"From my cursory examination it is, indeed, murder," Dr. Finch announced. "More horribly...the victim was laid out in a particular fashion and various implements and props were arraigned around the corpse."

"Props?"

"Of a certain...religious connotation, yes," Dr. Finch said. He frowned at the Mayor.

"Oh dear...well...steps must be taken I suppose," the Mayor said. Pressing the intercom button again he said, "Ms. Peabody? Please tell Obed Marsh to ring his church's bells to rally up the town?"

"Yes, Mayor," the secretary said before the line cut off.

Hearing the bells of the Esoteric Church of the Sea ringing, the villagers rushed from their homes to the town square where the Mayor was waiting for them, accompanied by a green looking Mr. Mayberry, an antiquated camera held in his hands, the ghoulish Dr. Finch and the toothsome Ms. Peabody. Before them was a table on which there were several cloth-covered items.

"It seems that it is that time again and certain members of the town have decided to cause some mischief: in brief, we have Cultists among us!" the Mayor announced. He stepped forward and pulled the cloth from the table, revealing various deadly items. Stepping back, he eyed each member of the town in turn. "You must chose, by vote, who among you must die so that we may protect the rest of the village. I will return to my office and wait for the vote. You have until sundown."

--Are You A Cultist? has begun!---

So, at this point we decide who to lynch, and then it's Night Time and the cultists decide who dies tomorrow and all the Specials get to act?

This is, like, the best game idea ever.

*I* have a pitchfork. It is lovely and sharp. My barn has more than enough firewood stored for the winter so I can spare some, and the diesel for the tractor isn't going to waste if it's being used to stop cultists.

So, I'm set - 1 pitchfork, many torches.

"So... we're just going to pick someone and off them, hoping that they are a cultist? Now don't get me wrong, I love a good linching as much as the next person, and it's been far too long sience we had one arround here (that goverment guy who came snooping arround here a few years ago was realy the alst one we had. I don't count that reporter last year. He jsut had no respect for people's property), but is leaving it to a vote realy the right way to go about this? All it will do is bring up vengence for past slights, encourage neighbors to go after each other to claim ther properties, their loved ones, their beautiful little children..... Anyway, I propose we choose who to lynch based not on a ballot, but by a lotery. Put the fate of our town not in the hands of scwabbling neighbors using this as a tool for themselves, but into those of a greater power."

You think that the best way to find a cultist is to lynch people at random?

That just seems... evil.

No no no, we're going to throw out baseless accusations, rile ourselves up real good, and off the first person who sounds vaguely guilty. That's the way we did it in my grandaddy's time, and that's the way it'll happen today. And tomorrow, if we find out we were wrong.

Personally I'm hoping to go back out fishing tomorrow.

As opposed to killing them for our own personal motives? I think it is a far better way than that. If these cultists are gonna bring their gods into this, than we should bring ours.

At this point, there's very little difference between the voting and lottery; our choice will be pretty much random either way. Now if you wanted t o go for Australian style voting (aka instant runoff, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant-runoff_voting ), I'd be all over that.

Capitalizing on the misfortune of others is one of the basest of humanity's traits. But this seems too obvious for it to be anything but general money making, aren't cultists in it for the lulz, I mean, worship?

I say we go door to door in this here village of ours and look for more of these ... religious implements. I mean, don't these cultists slip around in the trees wearing dark robes or something? If somebody owns a robe, we hang 'em. Better safe than sorry!

I'm not a big fan of changing the rules in the middle of the game. That said, it shouldn't be too much trouble to jigger the scripts on cuddlepuddle to track that sort of thing for him. My inclination would be to not do it this game, but set it up for the next game.

I was thinking all the "Oh yes! Leave the decision up to a HIGHER POWER!" bits from down below seemed a bit cultish, myself. I think [info]gorillashaman's got the right idea, though: If nobody votes, nothing happens.

Worse, if nobody votes but him, he gets to be the sole arbiter of life and death - which, if he's a villager, is great. If he's a cultist, that gives the cultists *two* kills today.

I'm not willing to get too twisty into the crazy-person logic yet - so, count me in for a VOTE [info]CELOTHAE on the grounds that her two comments so far are creeping me out.

[info]celothae! Why should I change my vote?

We could do IRV *ourselves* and make Our Mayor only tally up the finals - but that's not the point. What *is* the point is that while IRV is a fairer approximation of the majority, that might not be ideal for catching cultists.

The only issue I have with IRV, in the context of the game, is the back and forth between who votes for who, who changes which votes, dog piles, and ties, are all very integral (and fun) parts of the game. I see IRV as possibly negatively impacting that.

Personally, I think we ought to order out now for a nice guillotine. The French seemed to handle executions quite well with it. And if we have cultists, we don't wanna take any chances with botched executions. Nossir.

It's sad but true. Someone's gotta take the blame the first day, and without anything to go off of, it's pretty much chance who gets it anyway.

Well, chance or if someone is most able to persuade people to their cause. Of course, then if they're wrong, they're under suspicion the next day, etc etc.

Innsmouth is how it is.

Of course I'm concerned. I recall a horrible incident where a small town was devestated by all of the bakers and food vendors being murdered. Terrible mess.

I think that the cultists must be caught, but we've no evidence and I'm not ready to follow mob rule just yet. You suggested baseless accustions and I'm just taking you up on it. It seems as good as any other random method for deciding whom to lynch. If we do that Australia voting, things could change. Heck, show me a good reason to vote for Chaos Dancer and I will.

And you should worry about me, and all the other villagers. As long as there are cultists afoot, we are all in danger.

Pretty much anything that looks like the word "vote" followed immediately by the name of a player (or wacky misspelling thereof, according to some algorithm I thought made sense at the time) will count as a vote. It also tracks "unvote", but that's dicey, so it's better to vote for some cat named "[info]abstain" until you figure out who you really want to go for.

And, as in all things, the GM has the final word. Also check carefully; while I *think* all the bugs are squashed, LJ does change things from time to time, which can mess things up.

Why would he want your land? You own a brackish stretch of sandy swampland too close to the ocean to grow and too far from the shore to fish!

Although I suppose [info]Flowen is an avid gamesman. Any deer on your land?

"Exactly! Thus it must be a smokescreen to hide his true intent. Not to mention he's only inciting us further into killin each other. That, and it would be much easier to just off him, and take the those pitchforks, torches, ropes, and whatnot."

I think the best way to do it is make a "post closed" post, then turn off comments. Look at the cuddlepuddle site until you see your post closed post. Verify the comment counts match. Review the tally.

Wait, wait, wait!!

First, I'm not a cultist. I have a weak stomach.

Second, MY comments are creepy?! Mr. I'll use the diesel in my tractor for lynchings? Granted, it would help the torches burn better, but it sounded more like you thought it should be used for burning people!!

I am an innocent in all of this, and I beg that you consider the lack of evidence and the fact that you have probably at least come across many of the other people here at one point or another. Think about the evil they may have perpetrated that you can consider.

I, again, declare that I am an innocent villager. I, personally, will reserve my vote for the moment, in hopes that someone will show us some logic, though I know that never happens.

I would also like to point out that I have no prior opinions on almost anyone and that a cultist would surely have voted you in return and retaliation. I did not have to answer, since the vote is not going towards me, but I feel in the interest of the village surviving, it is my intention to prove that I am honorable.

I haven't seen either of these two post yet:

[info]urbanwolfie
[info]raisha

If I don't see a post today, one of them gets my vote tomorrow; other similar games like this, the GM usually kills off nonposters via suicide after a few days. I now firmly believe it is better that they get lynched than have the town suffer extra losses.

Current rules are that if two game days progress and the person does not post they commit suicide at the end of the second day...they just couldn't take it anymore, the poor dears...

Thanks for the clarification. I think my point still stands; it's better for us to off them as part of the lynch than it is for the GM to enforce the suicide.

An Are You A Cultist "day"/Day Round is 11AM-11AM from one day to the next. We have some international players (*waves at [info]maggiebloome*) so we want to make sure they get a fair chance to play.

On the event of a Day Round starting at 11AM Friday, it will not conclude until 11AM the following Monday (because some people, such as myself, will be away from their computers on weekends).

All I wanted was for people to be properly prepared for a possible incident in our village. A prepared village is a safe village, right?

Anyway, you're all about to lynch one of your own. And in the interest of the knowledge that I don't have any good idea who the cultists are, I'm making the following change.

unvote [info]stride
vote [info]abstain

After thinking about it a bit I might need to change my mind. In some games, in the end game, it might make sense to NOT lynch someone who hasn't posted in a while, so that the GM will be forced to suicide them and move the number of players from an even number to an odd number (or possibly vice versa). This *could* swing the vote distribution to a place where it might give one side or another an advantage. I'd have to sit down with a game tree and puzzle it out.

A little bit.

If you can convince me why, we still have a little time - if you and I both swap to chaosdancer, she goes down instead of you.

But it's really pretty much random, being round 1.
