Re: JaggedJimmyJay's High School Crushes Mafia [END]

Answers to the end game poll appreciated. I might run this setup numerous times if folks liked it. I want to see how the balance looks over a larger sample.

So many more crushes left unrevealed. :phew:


falcon45ca was Ashley.

Ashley might have been more of a middle school crush than a high school crush, but I think it extended decently into my freshman year at least. She was smarter than I was. Her eyes conveyed a degree of warmth and kindness that none others ever seemed to during the worst era of my childhood, and I never forgot her for that. She was a good egg, and she was nicer to me than perhaps any other human in those days (at least in our limited interactions). I think she had a strong religious bent that I didn't quite understand at the time, and it makes me wonder if there was a little whoo boy, yikes under the surface, and she ended up marrying another of our classmates very young. I hope they're doing alright, wherever they are.

Re: JaggedJimmyJay's High School Crushes Mafia [Day 2]

I have no idea why the poll deadline was in December. It won't let me fix it appropriately, so I just turned off the deadline. I will have to screenshot the poll and manually close it. I will accept votes placed at 7:30 PM EDT, but not 7:31 PM EDT.

You still have 3 hours and 42 minutes. Please don't interact with this post, thanks.

Re: JaggedJimmyJay's High School Crushes Mafia [Day 1]

Night 1 has ended.

@MacDougall has been killed. He was
Town.


MacDougall was Britney.

Britney is one of my greatest humiliations. She was also the only high school crush that regarded me in the same light. However, she did not attend my high school. Indeed, I never met her at all.

The concept of an “Internet girlfriend” was not generally well-regarded in the 2003-2004 era. It was an unthinkable act of nerd desperation in the eyes of many, and for that reason I told absolutely nobody about Britney. I met her in an AOL chat room dedicated to a topic I cannot remember. She was quite flirtatious with me, and that’s really all it took. Empowered by the anonymity of my computer screen, I could communicate confidently and find the personality that felt most authentic and avoid the social barriers of the real world. It was an extremely ridiculous “relationship” looking back, but it did mean something to me at the time.

Eventually my guardians discovered what I was doing online and barred me from the computer. I suspect the same happened to her, actually. We were able to talk again eventually, but the flames of AOL love had been thoroughly doused.

Britney had terrible taste in music. She made me listen to Candy Shop by 50 Cent with her once. It gave me impure thoughts.


Day 2 is underway. You have 48 hours to eliminate one player. The hammer is FOUR votes.

Re: JaggedJimmyJay's High School Crushes Mafia [Day 1]

Moonwink was Amy.

Amy was an interesting case. I'm not sure she treated me either kindly or cruelly. I was about as generically invisible as one gets with her in particular, and that's not even a lamentation. I had no clue what to say to her anyway. All I know is that she had freckles for days, and they caught my eye every single time I passed by in the hallway or braved a cross-classroom glimpse during the few AP classes we shared. I didn't know her as well as the other crushes. She was always at an arm's length (or twenty arms' lengths), and she spent her time in social circles very much apart from my own tiny bubble. I have a feeling she grew up to become the quintessential suburban mom figure. She kind of have that vibe even as a teenager. I would be surprised if she were to remember my name.

Dyslexicon was Lauren.

Lauren was a big one, figuratively speaking. I remember sitting behind her in our freshman physical science class. I was silent, in my usual form, and she was chatting liberally with whoever else was seated in her immediate vicinity. At some point she revealed that her favorite number was 27. I was immediately smitten, because, well, you see: 27 was my favorite number. How could such a coincidence be possible if not to portend a future with twelve babies together? Regardless, I hardly spoke a word to Lauren in school. She revealed later (we became actual friends as adults years later, go figure) that she thought I was very angry and brooding. She was absolutely correct. I wonder how many other babes kept their distance while I brooded.

Re: JaggedJimmyJay's High School Crushes Mafia [Day 1]

Please note that, because the poll was fickle when I started Day 1, the deadline is five minutes after the scheduled end of day. I will keep this way, so the day is technically extended by five minutes. All votes are accepted until the poll officially closes.

Please don't interact publicly with this post. Thanks.

Re: JaggedJimmyJay's High School Crushes Mafia [pre-game]

The home phone rings.

I pay it no mind. I'm playing Baldur's Gate 2. I'm conquering foes that Jackofhearts2005 will only rage about over 20 years later.

"Jay? The phone is for you."

Oh. Probably Joe looking to close out the summer before we start 9th grade with some Magic the Gathering or something.

"Hello?"

*muffled laughter* "Uh. HI. Uh. Jay? Uh. This is CANDICE. You know. CANDICE from SCHOOL. Right?"

...

Girls do not call me. What?

"I think so? Hi. What's up?"

"Well. Uh." *another person cackles in the background* "Well I just have a MESSAGE for you. You know LYNZEE? LYNZEE from SCHOOL? Well she has a huge CRUSH on you." *cackling intensifies* "On the first day of school, you should TOTALLY ask her out." *the sounds of laughter explode through the phone just as it clicks off*

Thankfully, I know when I am being treated like a moron. I immediately discard any notion of listening to those instructions. High school is going to be absolute shit, isn't it?



Day 1 begins now. You have 48 hours to eliminate two players.

Re: JaggedJimmyJay's High School Crushes Mafia [pre-game]

The game will begin tomorrow, on Tuesday the 12th of July, at 7:00 PM EDT. There will be no Day 0. We will begin immediately with Day 1. On Day 1, two players will be eliminated instead of just one. Every player will be able to cast up to two votes instead of just one. The two players with the most votes will be eliminated. In the event of a two-way tie at the highest number of votes, both players will be eliminated. In the event of a more-than-two-way tie at the highest number of votes, two players will be selected at random from the tied set to be eliminated. In the event of a tie at the second-highest number of votes, the second player eliminated will be randomized from that set.

During all day phases after Day 1, only one player will be eliminated, and all ties will be randomized.

JaggedJimmyJay's High School Crushes Mafia
A terrible theme for everyone to enjoy making fun of the moronic host and his miserable teenage experiences

@Dyslexicon - posts - Eliminated on Day 1 - Town
@MacDougall - posts - Killed on Night 1 - Town
@falcon45ca - posts - Eliminated on Day 2 - Mafia


Setup:

Days are 48 hours long. Nights are 24 hours long.

The game is mountainous. There are 8 members of the town faction and 2 members of the mafia faction. Everything is ordinary with respect to day eliminations and night kills, with the exception of a single wrinkle meant to provide pro-town balance and eliminate the necessity of a standard 8 vs. 2 "no elimination" (sleep) vote:

On Day 1 and only on Day 1, two players will be eliminated by vote instead of just one. On Day 1, every player may cast up to two votes to determine who the two players eliminated are. See below for details on ties.

After Day 1, the game proceeds as normal. One night kill per night phase, and one day elimination by vote per day phase.


Remember that the premier rules in any Syndicate Mafia game come straight from the site rules. Review those rules below, and direct any concerns you may have to the host or moderator(s) on duty.

[Link] Rules and Guidelines on The Syndicate

Also always be mindful of the culture of respect that must be maintained in all Syndicate spaces at all times, to include this game thread and any external communication spaces relating to the game. Players must be respectful to one another, to the game host, to the members of the staff overseeing the game, to the game itself by way of its rules and spirit, to the Syndicate community in general, and ideally also to themselves. Respect is never optional. See our full manifesto on our culture of respect below.

[Link] A Syndicate Mafia Culture of Respect

Game rules and guidelines

Spoiler: show
Voting and Claiming Rules

1.) Claim whatever you want if anything. This game has no roles.
2.) Votes in the poll are official, and I will only consider the poll votes when I resolve a day phase. It is still obligatory to call votes in the game thread, as the poll does not track voting order. Call your votes to make it possible to discern timing and order. This is not optional. Please call votes with the [ vote ][ /vote ] tags (no spaces).
3.) Votes are changeable with no limitations.
4.) Voting is not obligatory. There is no requirement to vote in any phase whatsoever. There are participation standards though, which I'll cover separately.
5.) The player who has received the most votes at the deadline shall be chopped. If a majority vote is reached (next integer above 50% the number of living players), the day phase will end immediately. There will be no majority vote in effect on Day 1.
6.) In the event of a tied vote, the chopped player shall be decided among the tied names at random. This includes Day 1 in which two players are chopped. If the second-highest vote total is tied on Day 1, then that tie will be randomized. If the highest vote total is tied, then both players will be eliminated (or two of the people in the tie if it's more than two-way).
7.) A "no elimination" option will be included each day phase. This option must lead the tally with no ties to be enacted at any time.

Participation Standard

There is no rigid standard for participation; this will be at the host's discretion. All players are expected to make a sincere effort to contribute to the game thread consistently enough that their content can be fairly judged. Non-participation has an adverse effect upon the balance of the game. If I decide a player is not participating enough to facilitate this balance, that player will be replaced. If a replacement cannot be found, there might be a modkill. With this in mind I reiterate: it's very important that everyone try to participate. At least a few posts per day/night cycle are a bare minimum.

Other

1.) Respect all guidelines and rules found in The Syndicate's announcements section. Above all else, treat your fellow players with respect -- this is just a game.
2.) BTSC (behind the scenes chatter) is only permitted in host-designated locations.
3.) No editing or deleting of posts in the game thread.
4.) Just don't make posts when you're dead unless you have been given express permission by the host.
5.) Non-players may not post in the game thread.
6.) Living players wishing to discuss something off-topic may choose to do so in {Off-Topic} Green. There's an "OT" button for this in the post editor. This is not required.
7.) This is the Host Color. I don't actually care if you use it, just don't impersonate me. I might use a stupid font.
8.) If you ever have any questions about the rules, roles, or setup, please ask me privately.

Angleshooting and loopholes

Don't.

We all know what the spirit of Mafia is about. So don't. If you ever think something might be cutting it close, just ask me before doing it/saying it. Thanks gang.

You're town.
