WW CLVII - Ghostbusters - Game Over (result in post 1521)

[JAG]

Thread for dead players (http://jagww.forumotion.com/t18-ghostbusters)

http://www.logodesignlove.com/images/classic/ghostbusters-logo.jpg

Continuing our 80s movie theme from Clue, we move to New York City where three men have set up shop as paranormal experts and dubbed themselves The Ghostbusters. Increasing paranormal activity as of late has led to the belief that something major is about to happen. It's up to them and the citizens of New York to put a stop to it and return the city to its normal serene life.

The game will be simple in its structure (usual winning conditions for the most part, voting, etc...) with some thematic twists and additions to spice it up. I'm hoping for a Tuesday start with roles going out Monday night.

[JAG]

Rules:

Rules that are somewhat different from most games:

Editing of posts: I will allow editing of posts if you do so within five minutes of your original post time. For simplicity's sake though, after five minutes from the original post time, please don't edit your post, simply make a new one. One exception: please do not edit any posts with a vote in it.

Tiebreaker: If two or more players end up with the same number of votes, the player to be lynched will be randomly selected amongst those receiving the highest amount of votes. There is also a chance that an additional person at random will be lynched anytime there is a tie.

Nightfall: I will accept Nightfall votes. It needs to be unanimous, the wolves need to agree to it in private, and note that once you vote Nightfall, your vote for that day is locked and cannot be changed, so be completely sure of your vote if you choose to vote nightfall. Note for newer players, a unanimous Nightfall vote ends the day earlier than the normal deadline and is typically only used when there is an extremely obvious vote choice for the day.

Conditional Orders: I will accept conditional orders. The latest submitted orders are the ones I will process for you.

Processing of Orders: In the event that multiple orders somehow conflict, the orders I receive earliest will take precedence (for example, someone who submits their final orders at 1pm vs. 4pm). The lynch is always the first action to be processed, the night kill is always the final action to be processed.

Self Votes: Voting for yourself is not allowed. (hat tip to Chief Rum)


Rules that are mostly the same as other games (i.e. vets can probably just skim this section):

Deadline: 24 hr deadline is 10pm EST / 9pm CST / 7pm PST etc... Votes and night actions at 10:00pm EST and earlier count, votes and night actions at 10:01pm EST do not count. Conditional night action orders are fine if you can't be there at deadline.

Voting: Use a separate line and bold your vote, unvotes are fine, No Lynch is not an option.

e.g. JAG is clearly off his usual game. I am sure he is a wolf.

Vote JAG

Quoting private messages publicly: Don't do this.

Private messaging: If you have PM abilities, please include me on all messages.

Discussion of game: While the game is in progress, please do not privately discuss the game with anyone else still in the game (other than within the constraints of the rules of course, i.e. wolves are free to PM themselves).

Vanilla villagers: All vanilla villagers will receive the following PM:

You are a citizen of New York City.

Victory Conditions:

Ghostbusters and citizens win if they eliminate all Gozerian forces, including Zuul (Gatekeeper) and Vinz Clortho (Keymaster) if they have been found but not Walter Peck.

Slimer wins a major victory if it meets its win condition and a minor victory if the Ghostbusters (and citizens) win (ironic I know).

The forces of Gozer win if they can reach a 1:1 ratio of evil player to good player and two Ghostbusters with a charge remaining in their proton packs are not around.


Roles: (Note that all roles may not be present. Some few minor roles may be present in the game that aren't listed here. While some basic role abilities are provided, there may be other role abilities that are not listed.)

Ghostbusters and Citizens of note

Peter Venkman - The most charismatic of the group though possibly the worst scientist of the bunch. Once per game he can persuade the group to lynch a different player.

Ray Stantz - The most enthusiastic of the group, he is looking to train and recruit another Ghostbuster to join the team, though of course not everyone has the ability and know how to become one.

Egon Spengler - The real brains of the group and the equipment expert. His PKE meter is capable of detecting paranormal activity and he is able to use it once per night (he is the seer). His proton pack begins with two charges rather than the single charge the others have.

Winston Zeddmore - Winston doesn't start off as a Ghostbuster, but he has the potential to join up.

Janine Melnitz - Don't tell, but she has a thing for Egon.

Neutral:

Slimer - He's looking for Venkman to, you guessed it, slime him. More of a mischievous ghost than a malevolent one. Note that Slimer scans as paranormal to Egon's PKE meter.

Forces of Gozer

Terror Dogs: They are looking for the right people to possess in order to summon Gozer the Gozerian.

Zuul: One of the citizens has the potential to become The Gatekeeper. If found, she is looking for the Keymaster.

Vinz Clortho: One of the citizens has the potential to become The Keymaster. If found, he is looking for the Gatekeeper.

Librarian Ghost: One very scary ghost. Has the chance to remove a player from the game when lynched, though if they select a Ghostbuster with a proton pack charge, the Ghostbuster may be able to fend off this ability.

Generic Ghost: There are a lot of ghosts in this town, might be one of these too.

Gozer: If Gozer is successfully summoned, you're all in deep crap.

Walter Peck: He's not exactly working for Gozer (he counts as a citizen for win ratio and does not need to be removed from the game for the Ghostbusters and citizens to win), but he is sure the Ghostbusters' activities are bad for the environment and he wants to shut them down. He wins with the forces of Gozer and though it's not thematic, he will know the identity of one of Gozer's forces.


Proton Packs

Ghostbusters begin the game issued a standard proton pack containing a single charge (with the exception of Egon's pack, which has two charges). This lets them use their nuclear accelerator to potentially accomplish a number of tasks:

1. If a Ghostbuster is attacked while they have a pack with a charge, they may be able to fend off the attack at the cost of a charge. This chance is diminished if they are attacked two times within the same three night span.

2. In a desperate situation (or anytime they feel like it if they are fine with throwing caution to the wind), then can Cross the Streams. Two Ghostbusters with at least one proton pack charge are required to submit this order for it to take place. If this occurs, it takes the place of a lynch during the day. The actual results of this are unpredictable but very likely to be highly destructive and could even make a bad situation worse. If the forces of Gozer would otherwise win due to ratio and two Ghostbusters remain with at least one charge left in each of their proton packs, this order will automatically be submitted and may give the Ghostbusters + Citizens a chance to save the game.

A proton pack that has been fully depleted may be recharged at the cost of performing their role activity that day / night (i.e. no scan for Egon / no lynch change for Venkman and so on).

Going to try and cram one more in for March. The earlier we can start, the better for me, as next week is pretty open and following week is pretty terrible in terms of personal schedule.

Excellent. Ideally I came up with a decent outline for 16-17, but I should be able to modify it pretty easily for whatever numbers we manage.

Awesome, welcome back Narc!

Pretty solid response thus far, I may push up the start date to Tuesday being D1, with roles going out Monday night, so if you're thinking about signing up, sooner would be better if you could.

[Zinto]

[bhlloy]

Sure, I'll play

Yay! Our nights have been quiet without your incessant, lonely chatter.

[Lathum]

Really cool to see Narc in

[hoopsguy]

I'm pretty sure I want the Peck role, even if it leads to an exchange about the merits of me shutting off the power :)

[JAG]

Roles are going to go out tonight and D1 will be Tuesday. Ideally we'd get at least 1 or 2 more (though more would be fine too), but there shouldn't be a problem running with 15 and it's silly to push out the start date another day if there aren't any sign ups for 24+ hrs.

[Coffee Warlord]

Oh what the hell. Why not.

I texted Darth to see if he wants to join.

[JAG]

I'm going to try and get roles sent out in 3-4 hours. Maybe sooner if I can manage it.

[JAG]

Roles are going out now. Please hold off on posting until I write the introduction post.

[JAG]

There can be no doubt about it. There has been a marked increase in the amount of calls the Ghostbusters have received about ghost sightings and supernatural phenomena as of late. Readings are off the charts for paranormal activity. Something major is in the works. It's up to the citizens of the city along with the Ghostbusters to determine what's going on and put a stop to it.

Day 1 has begun. Deadline for Day 1 / Night 1 is Tuesday at 10pm EST. You may now post away.

[Chubby]

NYC citizen here. and one that is off to bed :D

[Autumn]

Nice to see we got another big game off the ground. This one's got some wrinkles too, I'm going to go reread the rules.

[Lathum]

vanilla citizen here,I probably wont even read the rules

[Danny]

Not a cultist checking in

[Autumn]

This wolf situation is complicated, I'm not sure what we're looking at here. There are Terror Dogs and ghosts, which are vanilla. Library ghost is a brutal. There is the potential for a Gatekeper and a Keymaster, but it sounds like those are converts? Presumably if the wolves get both of those, then they can summon Gozer?

[Autumn]

vanilla citizen here,I probably wont even read the rules

You'll be a big help, thanks, Lathum.

[DaddyTorgo]

Game onnnnnnnnnnn

[fontisian]

So, how many starting ghosts are we looking at, assuming Zuul and Vinz Clortho can both be converted?

[Lathum]

You'll be a big help, thanks, Lathum.

I bet you're glad I am back

[Lathum]

VOTE AUTUMN

[Autumn]

lol

[Autumn]

So, how many starting ghosts are we looking at, assuming Zuul and Vinz Clortho can both be converted?

Well it seems there must be at least three, a terror dog, a ghost and the library ghost? Possibly more of the vanillas? Two possible converts, I'm assuming. I can't see going much more than three in that case, especially with a cultist. Though the good guys have a lot of rules including a possible "convert" too.

[Coffee Warlord]

Vote Danny

Hi!

[fontisian]

The Terror Dogs description is plural, so there might be more than one.

[hoopsguy]

Not a cultist checking in

Sadly, the same is true for me. But at least I won't be the one called "dickless" in this game, so that is something.

[mauchow]

I really have an itch to watch the movie now.

[britrock88]

Checkin' in with a vote count, because why not!

1 Autumn - Lathum (46)
1 Danny - Coffee (49)

[Zinto]

This sounds like the Lathum I played with in my first game. Hey guys lynch me on the first day and place your bets on me getting lynched. Just kidding that is how we will find all of the wolves and get Zinto lynched.

[Narcizo]

Hello everyone.

I think the roles of Zuul and Vinz are interesting. Wondering if they know who they are from the start but don't know who the other wolves are or if they believe that they're vanilla villagers until they're converted. The village victory conditions say that they have to be eliminated if they've been found and the write-up says "one of the citizens has the potential to become ..." which makes me think that they start as ignorant villagers. Anyway with 17 players, two potential conversions and various cultist and sorceror and such-likes I'd probably have 3 starting wolves. But I'm usually harsher on the wolves than most people who actually run the game.

[Narcizo]

Have you been drinking Zinto? I've read this several times and I can't make head nor tail of it. :p

[Narcizo]

Vote DaddyTorgo

Reasoning:
1) The day one untouchables - Hoops, Danny, Autumn, Pass
2) The people I haven't played with before - mauchow, murrayyyy (M5Y), fontisian, Katy
3) The people I "always" (used to) vote for on day one - Chubby, britrock, Packer, zinto, blloy

leaving Coffee, Daddy, Lathum. Then the luck of the draw.

[Chubby]

not much to add at this point, will try to keep up with the thread at work

[Coffee Warlord]

The mayor's not in the game? Bah.

I'll claim that role, then.

[Coffee Warlord]

The mayor may, as a night action each night, have a long conversation with Fiorello La Guardia.

[PackerFanatic]

Good morning fellow 'busters! NYC citizen here.

[hoopsguy]

Coffee, you have claimed my secret role ... but how did you also know the power?

Could JAG have mistakenly sent out two "mayor" PMs? I think my head is going to explode ... in keeping with the theme, in a slimy mess.

[Passacaglia]

Wow, I'm in good company.

[Coffee Warlord]

Coffee, you have claimed my secret role ... but how did you also know the power?

He's talking about my Vegas game. Sign up for my sequel and we'll fill you in on the details ;-) Also, he may have been drinking.

[mauchow]

Narcizo is back!

[Autumn]

All right, had time to get a handle on the rules, and here's my breakdown of the roles, mostly for my own purpose but I'll put it here.

4 Roled Villagers
1 (Winston) with the possibility of becoming roled
X Vanilla Villagers

1 (Slimer) other than looking for Ventman, is a villager, scans as evil
2 (Zuul and Vinz) have the potential to become wolves, scan good until converted
1 (Walter) who counts as a villager but is on the wolf team, knows one wolf, scans good

1 (Librarian Ghost) Brutal
2 (Terror Dogs) Wolves looking for Zuul and Vinz.
X (Ghosts) Vanilla Wolves

With 17 signups, one somewhat neutral party, two converts, I'm going to assume it is 13-1-3. Based on looking at the terror dogs from the movie, it sounds like there's probably two of them that "possess" the villagers they convert. I would guess the "ghosts" were there in case signups hit 20. However, given that the busters have proton packs, it's possible that there's 4 wolves I'd say to balance that out.

Since it lists that the Keymaster is looking for the Gatekeeper and vice versa, I wonder if they actually join the wolf team, or become independent wolves. There's some question there about how that mechanic works that we should keep in mind. But as for now, I think we've got three wolves and some pretty good villager powers, so let's go!

[Autumn]

Looking at the list, who do I want least to be a wolf? Lathum. Looking at the last couple games since he came back, Lathum's actually made it to the end twice. Looking at who he's voting for, Lathum's mean. Looking back in my head I remember promising to always vote Lathum D1 for the rest of my life. So it's pretty easy.

<b>VOTE LATHUM</b>

[britrock88]

1 Autumn - Lathum (46)
1 Danny - Coffee (49)
1 DaddyTorgo - Narcizo (57)
1 Lathum - Autumn (68)

[britrock88]

To give him crap one last time...

Vote Chubby

[britrock88]

1 Autumn - Lathum (46)
1 Chubby - britrock (70)
1 DaddyTorgo - Narcizo (57)
1 Danny - Coffee (49)
1 Lathum - Autumn (68)

[Lathum]

I'm ok with a vote for me. You wont kill a wolf but at least you wont hit a villager with a role

[DaddyTorgo]

Vote DaddyTorgo

Reasoning:
1) The day one untouchables - Hoops, Danny, Autumn, Pass
2) The people I haven't played with before - mauchow, murrayyyy (M5Y), fontisian, Katy
3) The people I "always" (used to) vote for on day one - Chubby, britrock, Packer, zinto, blloy

leaving Coffee, Daddy, Lathum. Then the luck of the draw.

Why is pass a D1 untouchable? I've been on a very good run of games lately btw.

Yeah, well, that was kind of mean.

[Autumn]

On the other hand, I assume Danny and Hoops won't vote me for a while, since I specifically didn't off them Day One!

[PackerFanatic]

Oh you know I love you, Autumn :)

And I'd much rather do a second vote now than add a sixth candidate. Day One FTW indeed :)

[murrayyyyy]

VOTE Coffee Warlord

Obviously I want to get rid of him so he can start working on his Starrcade '91 version so I can be Jushin Liger or Ricky Morton.

Nope, no Autumn agenda here.

Hat tip to Britrock for vote totals. Confirmed as up-to-date other than murra5y's recent vote.

See, this is the kind of stuff you have to careful with Autumn. He starts being all helpful and contributing, but if he is a wolf it can all get very confusing.

We are better off not convoluting things, voting him out, and keeping people such as myself around. Those who really have no idea what is going on and just take blind stabs at people for 4 straight days based off one isolated post.

[Coffee Warlord]

I'm off then. Decent enough voting so far. Try and keep it a three-four horse race for as long as possible. In fact there's no reason not to keep it like that to the end.

I'm with you, I think -- I like the tiebreak rules, and I'm glad we actually *have* tiebreak rules, so we don't all need to live in fear of a tie.

[Coffee Warlord]

I'm glad Pass's post encouraged me to actually read the rules.

[hoopsguy]

I'm not voting for myself on D1 in this game.

Or any day, for that matter.

Per the rules:
Self Votes: Voting for yourself is not allowed. (hat tip to Chief Rum)

[mauchow]

vote coffee warlord
For screwing up my post

[Coffee Warlord]

Ohhh, it's on now.

[fontisian]

Vote: Lathum
Call it a gut reaction.

[Passacaglia]

Your name looks too much like Wayne Fontes to trust any gut reaction of yours.

[hoopsguy]

Your name looks too much like Wayne Fontes to trust any gut reaction of yours.

Murrayyyyy and Pass have averted first day votes due to making me chuckle at their posts.

This is a solid strategy at the outset of games, but I don't find it all that effective at nailing wolves in mid/end game.

I'm okay with that spread for the time being. Lathum and Autumn are still far too easy of votes, though.

Rule Change:

I'm sorry for this, but after some thought, I need to make a modification to the rules. This has not come up yet, so I want to remove it before a couple of potentially game-altering situations that I hadn't considered when I added that ability arise. The following ability for proton packs is being removed:

2. They can use the charge to attack a player. If the player is a ghost (including Slimer), they will be removed from the game at a cost of a charge. If the player is a citizen or another Ghostbuster, the player they attack will be killed and the Ghostbuster making the attack will be hauled off to jail (removed from the game). Note that the attack occurs at deadline no matter when the order is submitted.

My apologies again. Other proton pack abilities remain as were stated in the rules.

I already revealed as the Mayor, what more do you want?!!?

[Coffee Warlord]

Though I'm not ready to flip to Lathum just yet. Rather this doesn't become a 2 horse race. 3 is better.

[Lathum]

hey CW, how about we both flip to Mau?

I'm cool with that.

Anyway. More voting, people!

[Zinto]

Well, I am out of class finally and catching up.

[Zinto]

Have you been drinking Zinto? I've read this several times and I can't make head nor tail of it. :p


I may have been a little inebriated when I wrote that.

[Coffee Warlord]

Drunken werewolf is the best.

[Zinto]

Well since it seems to be between Lathum, Mau, and CW at this point I think I am going to vote for Lathum because:
1. I believe Mau was lynched first last game or the game before so I would prefer for him not to be lynched first.
2.This is CW's first game in a while so I would prefer for him not to be lynched first.

Vote Lathum

Vote Lathum

Mau made it to the end last game.

[hoopsguy]

Are we set on these three candidates? If so, I'll move off DT onto one of them in the next couple of minutes.

[mauchow]

I'd go onto DT

[Lathum]

I'll switch to what ever keeps me alive.

That being said there will be no last minute reveal from me. I am just a villager. No great loss.

[hoopsguy]

I've got no meaningful preference for any of the four candidates with votes ... no idea who does what on Day 1. However, if I pull my vote from DT that effectively removes him as a candidate and narrows it to a three horse race. So I figured I would at least ask the question before moving.

[mauchow]

Could be a wolf ploy though I am thinking I should switch back

[Coffee Warlord]

You still could. We've got an hour to go, 3-4 candidates in a pack, and a whole bunch of people in thread. Just sayin'.

[Danny]

Am super tired though may fall asleep before deadline

[DaddyTorgo]

Not me. I'm not a good candidate

[Lathum]

can you clarify this comment?

[Lathum]

I'm telling you, no reveal coming.

[DaddyTorgo]

You guys like to jump around so much these days...it's exhausting.

[DaddyTorgo]

In the span of 4 minutes I just jumped into the lead? That's crazy...

Stay tuned. We're gonna all move onto JAG in 5 minutes.

I think you know me better than that.

Winnie the Pooh move...great, now that dumb song is in my head. Thanks a lot, Danny.

[Coffee Warlord]

Oh bother.

[DaddyTorgo]

I'm just a vanilla villager, but I'd really rather not have to die to prove it.

well to be fair you hint at not being a good candidate, then say you are just a vanilla villager.

[hoopsguy]

Hmm, I seem to have triggered a run by asking a question about staying on my original candidate. WW is funny sometimes.

[DaddyTorgo]

well to be fair you hint at not being a good candidate, then say you are just a vanilla villager.

Your point?

[Coffee Warlord]

Your point?

..the fact you hinted you had a role, then said you were a vanilla villager?

[Coffee Warlord]

C'mon DT, you're smart...

[Danny]

Based on what I see my vote is staying with dt

[DaddyTorgo]

..the fact you hinted you had a role, then said you were a vanilla villager?

Wasn't a hint that I had a role, just said that I wasn't a good choice. Doesn't mean I'm anything other than a VV.

[DaddyTorgo]

C'mon DT, you're smart...

So are you

[DaddyTorgo]

How does mau swing 4 votes onto me in 4 minutes with basically no facts at all on D1?

When I'm dead, why don't the rest of you villagers ask yourselves that question hmm? Something's rotten in NYC...

c'mon man, you have played this game a long time and know what a statement like that suggests

[Coffee Warlord]

Because mau smells of honey and unicorns, obviously.

[Autumn]

The votes always swing N1. That said, I'm still fine with offing Lathum.

[DaddyTorgo]

c'mon man, you have played this game a long time and know what a statement like that suggests

Maybe it was just a nugget to see if I could attract some wolves who saw it as cover to go after a villager...and maybe I've snared some in that big quick leap onto me.

[Lathum]

The votes always swing N1. That said, I'm still fine with offing Lathum.

even though DT made pretty contradictory statements?

[hoopsguy]

Lots of folks here, but not a whole lot of conversation.
15 minutes out - Autumn, Chubby, CW, DT, Fontsian, Lathum, mauchow, murra5y, PF (and hoopsguy)

Posting for posterity when we're analyzing this vote and night results go up that may account for late-breaking action.

[DaddyTorgo]

The votes always swing N1. That said, I'm still fine with offing Lathum.

Based on play I think I'd rather off CW, but if there's no more movement to support me I'll hop back to Lathum momentarily just in case.

[Lathum]

Maybe it was just a nugget to see if I could attract some wolves who saw it as cover to go after a villager...and maybe I've snared some in that big quick leap onto me.

Remindng me of me... though my underlying assumption was that a no-lynch would keep a likely villager alive for another day (while depriving us of any sort of vote analysis, I understand, yes).
