Rules This is an unusual game, and as such, the rules are also unusual. The most important rule is to just not piss me off. List of things that might piss me off:
Essentially, I'm not gonna spell out the rules for a bunch of adults, and due to the nature of the game, this is an excellent opportunity for me to just mod the game in a way that benefits me. See, I might not kill you if you break a rule, I might just handicap you, your ridicule you, I don't care. In some ways this game is a bastard mod game. Just act like something resembling a normal human being and you'll be fine. | ||

Game setup and critical information This is a closed, very heavily themed game that due to the high amount of killing power on all sides has the potential to be very swingy. If people fuck up, their side can lose really badly. I have some experience balancing "swingy" games (see storm mafia series) so the game should be relatively even, at least the primary objectives. Events: The game features special events. These might range from accidents to government action to international crises. It's important to pay attention. Cycle Mechanics: There is no lynching and there is no night killing. Everything in the game relies on events and player abilities. Each day lasts 48 hours and the night lasts 24 hours, but there may be abilities and events that change this. Resolution checks. All actions, unless otherwise specified, are resolved at the end of the day. For the most part, each "phase" will work like this: 24h setup (day part 1) 24h action (day part 2) 24h calm and relocate (night) The whole idea is that part 1 is for debating and creating situations, part 2 is for actually taking action, and then the night is to do other stuff. For example, most travelling between locations happens during the night. Winning More: In addition to the primary goal of your faction (there are traditional factions in the game), all players will have multiple secondary objectives. At the end of the game all players will be ranked based on their game score. Note that winning with your faction will score you a bunch of points, so it's important to do that, but you need to keep track of your secondary objectives too. Traits and Attributes: Each player has a significant list of things that applies to them as a player. These may be important because of secondary objectives, events or player abilities. Items: The game features a number of items that have various effects and can be used by the players. Some are used secretly, others publicly in the thread. It's important to note that a very common item held by players is a sum of cash. Active and passive abilities: All abilities in the game are either active or passive. The general rule of thumb is that you can use one active ability per cycle. Some active abilities have further restrictions, such as being day or night use only, or being related to special events. All abilities, unless specified otherwise, will be resolved at nightfall (end of day). Location: Some events and game mechanics rely on character location. The host will keep track of the current location of all players in the game privately. Traveling between locations, for those who have the means to do so, does not count as the use of an active ability unless specifically stated. Additional information Sample role PMs: Superman Faction: Town Nationality: Kryptonian, American Traits: Handsome, Strong Abilities:

Secondary Objectives:

Asking cuz if this is a mini game this might fill out before shapelogs game finishes in which case I should out. I'll accept exactly as many people as sign up. If 12 sign up, that's fine, if 30, that's also fine. | ||

I'll start the game when signups slow down and the time is right (I'm not starting on friday or saturday). If I have close to 20 people by next weekend we'll start the monday after that. If I have 20+ people tomorrow, we're starting wednesday. | ||

On August 10 2016 18:13 Skynx wrote: + Show Spoiler [Just a small feedback for Palmar] + In storm mafia, the split 3p is not a good option. SK very rarely wins anyway and to reduce its power even more to either shoot/protect is too much. In addition one person having kill power and other gets eliminated when killer is shot is just unfair for jk part of 3p. And since that kind of possibility is revealed in that game, it would force mafia in a struggle with the decision of if they should shoot or not if they get alignment information. Just my opinion ofc. I'm sure you spent a decent time balancing the game out so no disrespect. thanks, but of course, this game is far more heavily themed than that one. Don't expect things to really make sense, and don't expect perfect balance because this one has so many moving parts that it's impossible to achieve. This is the farthest away from a normal mafia game you can get, basically. | ||

This game had more signups than expected and I haven't had the time to finish up flavour for this many roles. I'm delaying the start until Monday 22:00 GMT (+00:00). I'm closing the signups tonight at 22:00 GMT (+00:00) in order to give myself the time to ensure there's at least a semblance of balance and time to push out some more flavour. I once again remind you that this is a stupidly heavily themed game and weird shit will happen that may feel unfair, If you wanted a normal game of mafia, you should've signed up for something else  | ||

The final playerlist is up. I expect all of you to review it and make sure your name is on there. I did re-read the thread but it's easy to mess it up. I will be adding more rules and clarifications on mechanics throughout the day. Role PMs will be going out in the hour before the launch of the game. Once again, I didn't expect 27 people to sign up for what is going to be a pretty stupid game. I can't stress enough that this is not a normal game and there will be weird shit in it. Please remain quiet from this post and until the game starts. The exception is, questions about the mechanics that have been revealed in rules and other general setup inquiries are ok. Post them in green in the thread here and I'll respond. Remember though, that once the game starts, questions should be exclusively in PM to the host. Also I have a co-host. His name is ritoky, he's a good guy. | ||
