I've had this one done for a while now. Things have slowed down enough at work where I can get involved again in the fun. If there's enough interest, it will start after the Simpsons Mafia (or whatever mafia is going when I accumulate enough players).
I’m not in a hurry, it can go when there’s no more than a single game running and I’ve reached the amount of players necessary. The game was designed with 21 slots, but it can be run with anything from 15 or higher. Due to the need to have at least 15 (explained below), it will take awhile for this game to queue up enough players. So there’s plenty of room for people to step in before this game I think and get their games going ahead of me. Due to the impending holidays, we definitely won’t be starting until after the new year at the earliest.
PLEASE NOTE:
While this is NOT an Anonymous Mafia, please do not respond in this thread if you’d like to play, but rather PM me. I will keep a running tally in this post on players that are accepted, so you will know who your co-players are before the game starts. I just have a few questions to ask as I’m trying something a bit different to see how it works. Once your name is posted as accepted, though, feel free to post here as you like.
Also, this is role-madness. But not in the way you’ll likely think. For one thing, I’m being up front about part of the setup. This is Pokemon. There is a Team Magma scum team and a Team Aqua scum team. Please remember that any Pokemon can be good or bad depending on who raised and trained it so judging a Pokemon by its type is bad juju. Game is currently undergoing balance testing and being vetted by a few non-playing people to make sure this is not skewed considering the number of other players. This is why the need for 15 players at minimum. If I can’t get that many, then I’ll just have to pass because anything less would be unbalancing in favor of the scum. But more than 15 would be good, too.
And a list of possible roles are below:
Town-aligned roles: Cop (any variety), Watcher, Tracker, Governor, Bodyguard, Doctor, Bus Driver, Roleblocker, Masons, Vigilante, Lie Detector, Commuter or Vanilla Townie.
Scum-aligned roles: Godfather, Roleblocker, Rolecop, Hitman or Mafia Goon.
Third Party roles: Serial Killer, Beloved Princess, Bomb, Bus Driver or Survivor
OH! And yes, I will be assigning Pokemons myself. Sorry.
I have included the rules I will be using in my intro post below so you can see beforehand if the game’s going to be setup in a manner you’d find fun to play or not.
--------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: Some of these rules HAVE been changed from the standard. Please read them.
- The game begins during day phase. One night phase has already occurred and the results of which have been transmitted to those who took actions (if any). No NKs will be allowed during the first night phase.
- A Wall of Words 20th lvl caster is not only unfun to type, it’s abhorrent to read. Please avoid this. I’m not putting a word restriction on the game, but I’m asking nicely.
- No editing your posts. This will result in modkill.
- There are no scripted events.
- No talking about the game outside of the thread unless your role specifically states that you may.
- No posting during game nights.
- No spectator posts.
- Do not directly quote your role PM or conversations with the mod. Paraphrase is okay. Check with me before posting if you're unsure.
- There are no players or parties that would cause the game to end Day 1 or Night 1.
- PLAY TO WIN. Failure to at least put in an effort ruins the game for everyone else. Sabotaging your side deliberately or through massive apathy will get you modkilled. I am not afraid to modkill. Please keep this in mind.
-Modkills due to unexpected inactivity at the start of game will not result in the end of the day, however any modkills after Day 1 will.
- You do not need to post "in character" or do anything special regarding flavor. If you want to, it's fine, but it may complicate the game or give away your role, which is generally bad.
- There are no post restrictions in this game.
- No players have "hidden" abilities that were not included in their role PM. Seriously. Even sanity and variation information. It’s all there.
- If you’re scum and you die, you WILL be removed from the scum chat.
- Vote in the standard ##Vote: Playername format. PLEASE be kind to your mods and ##UNVOTE. While forgetting to unvote will not cancel your vote, it may mess up our tally by seemingly giving people an extra vote where they simply forgot to unvote.
- No Lynch is NOT a viable vote.
- Day 1 will last 36 hours. All subsequent days (excluding LYLO) will last 48. You may make a SINGLE ##EXTENSION request per day if necessary. Majority vote will extend the day 24 hours. If a majority vote has not been reached by the end of the day, the player with the most votes will be lynched. This will NOT change in later days. If there is a tie, while I am not privy to using Hatbot from work, I do have a dice roller of my own who is equally vile and hateful, and will randomly choose your lynch. Do NOT allow this. Kill by majority. You get more information this way. Nights will last 24 hours max. If you do not provide an action by that point, you forfeit it for the night.
-CIVILITY is your friend. I’m not asking anyone to tiptoe around or even be polite (Miss Manners style), but keep your arguments and heated exchanges to the issues at hand, not taking personal stabs at each other. It’s a game. Keep it that way. Please refer to the line above about my willingness to modkill. If you’re driving players from the game, I will modkill you. Again, not saying be nice, just be civil.
- LYLO or potential LYLO will be announced.
- Complete role (including sanity and variation) & alignment information will be revealed on flip.
- Scum are not required to NK.
- There may or may not be third parties.
