BEGIN DAY 1


A wondrous occasion was coming to the town of JUMPsville: their very first JUMPING olympic games! There would be the long jump, the high jump, the triple jump, and all the jumps that would fill even the most rambunctious jumper's heart. The official mascot, Springy the spring, had been selected, and all the town all watched as the JUMPING torch finally made its way to light the ceremonial fire. The event was finally here!

Klipspringer Kennigit--the mayor of the town--began his introductory speech.

"Welcome all, at long last! I would first like to thank all the citizens and athletes who helped establish these games, and all who will be competing. I must also give my thanks to the slug delegation, who...finally...finished their leg of the torch bearing..."

Slug #1: "Heyy, we don't got no legs! Don't blame us"

Kennigit: "Oh, erm, well that wasn't what I was saying....Anyways, um, I must also bring some bad news that I fear may mar this joyous event. You see, I have received word that there are some poachers disguised among us! Vile wretched creatures they are, undoubtedly hunting us to make some sort of JUMPING potion, but don't worry, I have devised a foolproof method to sort out those who aim to harm us and those that carry the true JUMPING spirit!"

"You see, to show one's ability to JUMP, all we must do is take a leap over the Cliff of Death! Now don't worry, that's just the name...rather odd it is. BUT, I am quite confident, that every righteous JUMPER shall easily make it over, leaving those who are merely treacherous scum to fall to their certain death in the cliffside below! Anyone we find suspiscious, we'll just make them JUMP"

Slug #2: "Heyy, but we can't jump!"

Kennigit: "Oh, erm, well we'll jump that hurdle when we get there. But, to demonstrate my confidence in this method, I shall have my unpaid intern, Rudolph, make the very first JUMP!"

Rudolph looked a little uneasy. The Cliff of Death was no easy task. He tried to protest the JUMP, but Mayor Klipspringer Kennigit assured Rudolph he would give him a letter of recommendation and MAYBE university credit if he made the jump. Rudolph charged towards the cliffside with all his speed, leapt far--far!--into the air, but also fell--fell!--deep into the abyss below.

Kennigit: "AH! See, the method has worked already! I never would have suspected Rudolph one bit! Well, I suppose I'll go have my other unpaid interns go fetch his body, I guess they'll be back later. But, I know Rudolph was not the only poacher to have made it into town. Say, who should we send to test next?"

Vote to lynch someone in BOLD

Epilogue

Night actions, roles, quicktopics

Overall Rules:
Spoiler :

  • NO COORDINATING DRAFT
  • Adhere to all forum rules.
  • Day phase is 48 hours. Night phase is 24 hours.
  • No screenshots or equivalent.
  • No quoting/posting/messaging communications received from the host (me). Private communication is unrestricted otherwise.
  • BOLD your lynch votes. I will count your last vote in the day phase, so it is not necessary to strike out or Unvote:. However, that is advisable just for clarity sake.
  • All lynches are by plurality. No lynch is not an option. A lynch will occur each day phase. If no one votes, a random townie will be lynched.
  • The tiebreaker for a lynch is the FIRST person to reach the vote count. E.g. a 5-5 tie is determined by who reached 5 votes first.
  • replacement or automatic kill if missing 2 day phases (not posting, not voting)
  • When you die, your participation ends in the game. You cannot communicate with living players about this game.
  • you can talk at night

Anyone looking at this in the future (host comments):
Spoiler :

The 9 abilities were:
1) Doctor
2) Bodyguard
3) Roleblocker
4) Tracker
5) Jailkeeper
6) Double Voter
7) Rolecop
8) Deflector
9) Gladiator

Never needed to use in this game but should make sure that mafia kill has priority over roleblocks if they go head-to-head (should actually put that in signups), unless other cofounding things occur (e.g. deflector, bodyguard protecting roleblocker while roleblocker targets a mafia who was going to kill the roleblocker, etc)

Seriously considered (before game start) should make each night ability there 3-time use. I flip-flop on what I think on that. It's probably better in PYP setup I've used to scale with scum better; 10-12 have 2 scum, 13-16 have 3 scum, 17-20 have 4 scum in my opinion with these roles and without implementing "X time use" game tweaking
 
All PM's should be sent. All writing in updates are flavor text.

Important note: You are town unless told you were mafia (mafia already were told previously and were told again now)

I forgot to put that in role PMs. Should be clear.

Happy JUMPING!
 
vote al sipsclar's flaire is an airplane. The use of mechanical assistance to increase your jumping distance is cheating. Ergo Al Sipsclar is a cheater. No upstanding jumping animal would ever cheat, ergo only poachers cheat (because as we all know, poachers either cannot jump or are not animals, or are not upstanding). Ergo vote:Al Sipsclar is a poacher

I demand an award for my record-breaking achievement in JUMPing to conclusions!
 
Pfft. Everyone knows you have to JUMP into the airplane first, before you can fly.
I think you're trying to distract everyone from your avatar, which is an elderly white man. The encyclopedia says that even young white men can't jump, ergo OMGUS: spaceman98.
 
vote: Zack. He will be killed Night 1 or is mafia anyway
 
Jarrema. Err, something something, witty remark, something something, funny reasoning.
 
Vote: Al Sipsclar

Spaceman is a wizard, and they can fly.

Also, by definition, spacemen can fly. Through space.
 
I also have never jumped into an airplane.

Oh wait, yes.... I jump all the time in fact.

Boing boing boing
 
Jarrema. Err, something something, witty remark, something something, funny reasoning.

Ouchy.

I will take it as personal attack, but let you live for now.
 
The bards will sing about this event, and about me in particular. They will say that Ninebolt does not jump, he leaps, he ascends, and he floats.

I vote for Al Sipsclar, for the bards will not sing about him.
 
Noooo
 
Flotsam and jetsam floats. And other scum.

Come on, folks, Jarrema can't be that dense as to vote the top draft while mafia. Somebody pushing his wagon might be more interesting. Vote: edse.
