Holes Mafia {TOWN WINS}

[Scotty]

HOLES

Open setup:
-[up to*]48/24 phases
-Locked nights
-Character claiming is NOT allowed, but ability claiming is free game.
-Ties will be randomized
-‘Sleep’ aka ‘no elimination’ will be an option only at endgame

-Town- (10)
Stanley Yelnats IV (Caveman)
Zero
X-ray
Squid
Magnet
Armpit
Zigzag
Twitch
Kate Barlow
Sam

-Mafia- (3)
The Warden
Mr. Sir
Mr. Pendanski


Everyone starts VT, though some players will have an advantage:

At top of D2, Caveman and Zero will each learn the location of the cop check and the tracker, respectively, if available.

Kate Barlow starts the game knowing 3 locations- one containing the vig shot, one containing nothing, and one containing the yellow-spotted lizard- but won’t know which is which.

At the top of D1 I will provide the Mafia with 12 random plots- one of which will have the Yellow Spotted Lizard.

Findable Roles (Treasures):
-1x night vig shot
-1x night alignment cop check
-1x night tracker (this also will reveal if the target found anything in their hole the previous day phase)
-1x next day double-voter (their one vote secretly counts twice, and they may secretly dig another hole in that day phase provided it is privately messaged to me before the last person votes)

There is a [6x6] grid of plots posted.
Every player on N0 submits a plot on the grid where a treasure is NOT contained. Then, I will place 4 treasures to find in the grid of remaining spaces on D1 (the mafia will collectively know 3 locations the treasures are not).
Be warned: 1 of the plots contains a Yellow-Spotted Lizard. If you dig a hole with it, you will die at end of day.

Each day, a player may dig a hole in one spot on the grid (A1-F6).
This must be submitted WITH your vote in the same post during the day.
(i.e. [VOTE: Scotty] aubergine Dig F2)
IMPORTANT: votes are NOT changeable, and no player may dig a hole in the same spot as another player. This means that digging location priority goes to the players that vote earliest in the day.
If you do not dig a hole one day, or you forget to make a hole selection with your vote, you MUST dig 2 holes the next day, if available. (And if you don’t select a hole then, I will randomly choose 2 for you, you slacker)


Hole selection will resolve at the end of day for everyone (after the elimination) and each player will be privately notified of their reward (or lack thereof). If a player is eliminated by poll, their hole will not be dug that day, thus freeing up that digging spot the following day.
If a player dies from the Yellow Spotted Lizard, their hole will still be dug.

*There is no hammer; however, the day will end early and the thread will lock once the last player votes in a day. Night will be extended as such, but Start of Days will not change.

Night 0 will start as soon as you get your role card.

Day 1 will start January 13th at 7pm EST.

Night 0

Every camper at Camp Green Lake got there the same way: handcuffed in the back of an old school bus under the baleful eye of an armed guard staring them down the entire drive through the desert. And if you were lucky, you could hold your bladder on the long journey.

Stanley Yelnats IV was not so lucky.

It was all because of his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather!

He smiled as he adjusted his wrists in the handcuffs on the bus and tried to ignore the wafts of urine assaulting his senses. It was a family joke. Whenever anything went wrong, they always blamed Stanley's no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather.
Supposedly, he had a great-great-grandfather who had stolen a pig from a one-legged Nomad, and she put a curse on him and all his descendants. Stanley and his parents didn't believe in curses, of course, but whenever anything went wrong, it felt good to be able to blame someone.

Things went wrong a lot. They always seemed to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Why would this be any different?

It Is now Night 0. Please submit a Grid Number from A1 to F6: this will represent a plot that will contain nothing. Note that you may share this info or not during the game- it is entirely up to you.

Day 1 will begin January 13th at 7p Eastern.

[Scotty]

Day 1

There is no lake at Camp Green Lake. There once was a very large lake here, the largest lake in Texas. That was over a hundred years ago. Now it is just a dry, flat wasteland.

There used to be a town of Green Lake as well. The town shriveled and dried up along with the lake, and the people who lived there.
During the summer the daytime temperature hovers around ninety-five degrees in the shade— if you can find any shade. There's not much shade in a big dry lake.
The only trees are two old oaks on the eastern edge of the "lake." A hammock is stretched between the two trees, and a log cabin stands behind that.
The campers are forbidden to lie in the hammock. It belongs to the Warden. The Warden owns the shade.
Out on the lake, rattlesnakes and scorpions find shade under rocks and in the holes dug by the campers.
Here's a good rule to remember about rattlesnakes and scorpions: If you don't bother them, they won't bother you.
Usually.
Being bitten by a scorpion or even a rattlesnake is not the worst thing that can happen to you. You won't die.
Usually.
Sometimes a camper will try to be bitten by a scorpion, or even a small rattlesnake. Then he will get to spend a day or two recovering in his tent, instead of having to dig a hole out on the lake.
But you don't want to be bitten by a yellow-spotted lizard. That's the worst thing that can happen to you. You will die a slow and painful death.
Always.
If you get bitten by a yellow-spotted lizard, you might as well go into the shade of the oak trees and lie in the hammock.
There is nothing anyone can do to you anymore.

You’re probably asking: Why would anyone go to Camp Green Lake?
Most campers weren't given a choice. Camp Green Lake is a camp for bad boys.
If you take a bad boy and make him dig a hole 5 feet by 5 feet every day in the hot sun, it will turn him into a good boy.
That was what some people thought.

The poor souls currently interred at Camp Green Lake, led by the Warden and lackeys Mr. Sir and Mr. Pendanski, have probably dug thousands of holes. But after one of the boys recently found a peculiar item, digging fervor has overtaken the Camp; everyone is digging, looking for…something.

Here’s your shovel. Get to work.

It Is now Day 1. If you do not dig a hole today, you must dig two holes tomorrow. When choosing a plot, please do so in the same post as your vote. As a reminder, votes are NOT CHANGEABLE.

Please vote in the poll when you vote in thread. Try not to select ‘View Without Voting’ as you may be locked out from voting again.

Day 1 will end in 48 hours, or whenever the last player has voted.

[Kate]

Ok I read the rules 3x and I'm still a little confused. Are we supposed to know what a vig shot is? I only know a vig as like high interest from the Sopranos.

Ah, good point. The plot thickens.

[DrWilgy]

Mechanically speaking, I believe it's in our best interest to just not share hole data unless Caveman and Zero are both removed prior to day 3.

[S~V~S]

Howdy.

Mechanically speaking, I believe it's in our best interest to just not share hole data unless Caveman and Zero are both removed prior to day 3.

I had to reread this and the roles but yeah, that makes sense.

[pyxxy]

oh the digging is immediate O.O

[DrWilgy]

Yeah, seems so.

So far Kate and SVS are town.

Pyxxy is null.

Seanzie is wolf lean.

[Epignosis]

Hole-O

I'm Epignosis, your Moderator on Duty while you spend your time remaking Courtney Love's old band many times over.

My purpose here is to be available to you if you find yourself becoming upset or frustrated with this game, its participants, its host, or patches of missing earth where earth once was. Whatever the case, shoot me a PM and let's talk it out. Please don't lose your cool here.

I'm also available to answer any technical or procedural questions you might have while you toil away in the dusty barrenness that is surely a metaphor for something or other.

Have fun and reach out if you need me.

[pyxxy]

oh the digging is immediate O.O

nvm I interpreted the big red X wrong

Hole selection will resolve at the end of day for everyone (after the elimination) and each player will be privately notified of their reward (or lack thereof). If a player is eliminated by poll, their hole will not be dug that day, thus freeing up that digging spot the following day.

it's more to show that hole is claimed / TBD (To Be Dug) (That's Been Dug)

[Kate]

Yeah, seems so.

So far Kate and SVS are town.

Pyxxy is null.

Seanzie is wolf lean.

And Dennis is a cat.

[Sabiplz]

Howdy ladies and gays

[Sabiplz]

Slank cover this weekend because it's my birthday

[Sabiplz]

Wild theory but if either Sean or Pyxxy flip w then the other is too uwu

[Kate]

@Scotty can you please add a link to the role list to the first post?

[Sabiplz]

Also hi @pyxxy

[S~V~S]

Is the grid reset every day? No, right? There are 36 spaces, if not reset, then after they’re all dug up, there’s just no more digging?

Linki happy birthday Sabi

[S~V~S]

Ok I read the rules 3x and I'm still a little confused. Are we supposed to know what a vig shot is? I only know a vig as like high interest from the Sopranos.

Vig shot is a vigilante kill, like a 1x town kill. At least that’s what I think it is.

[Dennis]

Kinda weird that Seanzie did that little vote thing but I think it was funny so I'm okay with it
