I coded a theme after a long time, had 1-2 months break. I won't be seen on PO often, but I will continue coding themes! This theme was fully planned by Zidane FFIX (AKA Elite's Aaron on this forum). I did only change a little, ex. Fire Arceus's kill was /incinerate, but i changed it to /burn, because I thought /incinerate would be hard to write. This theme actually was up once, but it had some troubles first, ex. It had too many daykills, only thing ??? Arceus could do was suicide. Now all of them are fixed; there are now 3 daykills, ??? Arceus gets hax on every command and wins with every side. So here are the plans if anyone wants to see them: [secret] Arceus Themed Mafia Game - Zidane FFIX 6/24/2012 It's the Battle of the Gods. Elements are The Heroes. (Fire is vigi/Bomb, Ice is Vigi/Miller, Water is PL/Insp, Grass is BG, Electric is revealer). Physical Arceus are Sub-Heroes. (Rock is BG, Ground is vigi, Steel is Mayor with hax, fighting exposes/daykills and Flying is Insp/Spy). The Evil Arceus try to destroy the world. (Psychic is BG/Spy, Dark is Mafia w/ high priority, Bug is Mafia w/ real poison[3 day death], Ghost stalks people and has low-prio poison, And Poison Arceus poisons 2 people/bomb) True & Draconic Arceus are on their own (True Arceus daykills/prio1 distracts, and Dragon Arceus has 10 votes/can only be killed by ice, ground, and kyurem). The Arceus creations are out to put a stop to him. (Uxie is Mayor/Insp, Mesprit is BG/PL, Azelf/Palkia nightkill, and Dialga is Spy/immune to poison. Awakened Deities are random joiners in this fight. (Kyogre kills people who touch it, Groudon has 6 votes, Rayquaza exposes in a daykill, and Kyurem transforms into Black & White Kyurem). invented by Zidane FFIX and coded by Darkkis. This theme will be constantly adjusted for balancing. -Anouncements- Death - [name] was assimilated! ±Game = ±Mew Magicals win: The Magical Elements will make the world will flourish with beauty, thanks to (names)!

Arceus [/secret] And here's the link to the coding: (checked with Mafia Checker and JSON) [secret] http://dl.dropbox.com/u/85753154/MafiaThemes/arceusII.js [/secret] Hope this gets approved, me and Zidane FFIX first thought it wouldn't be accepted because there were like 9-10 Pokemon themes, but then we heard about the theme cleaning and thought this is our chance to have this up.
Steel is brutal. I was wondering why the last 5 roles are the same thing with no variation. I feel like larger games would be boring. Also, it was suggested to me when making a theme to allow at least 40 people that way at out max no one has to sit out of the theme because they didn't type /join fast enough. I like how you personalized all of the commands but it makes the code really long and a pain to read. Does every role kill, because i have to agree it is over kill.
^ No, every role doesn't kill. There are haxers, distractors, inspectors, protectors etc. Elite's Aaron probably could explain some stuff about this theme better, I just coded it so I don't know why did he have 5 ??? Arceuses in a row in 31-35 players...
This theme just isn't a good idea. The Arceus Creations are terribly OP with 5 members that have team-reveal. This theme is based around the concept of give everybody something, but don't give everybody kills (note: it doesn't work that well that way). Having a random sides can make the teams horribly unbalanced especially if put on the anti side with team-reveal. This theme can't be salvaged. Reject ARCEUS THEMES DON'T WORK!
This theme is based on 4 sides of 5 players where each side tries to dominate the other. Each side has up to two vigilantes. The strategy is to destroy everyone else so the good sides win. To the people who have wrote: t3 the third, you are right when you described the concept. I think people will still enjoy it because it looks like a fun game. BeastCharizard, I did not want duplicate roles, so the theme has 27 or 28 roles. This explains why it runs out at the end. It is just an addition of villager roles. I did not know the 30th player to join is assigned the 30th role in the list. Shiny Rayquaza, I actually thought so too, seeing as he can only be poisoned or daykilled by true arceus. I think it will be a good theme and I hope it can get approved or modified.
This is the same as saying that defeating the King is a strategy in Chess. This is the goal of the game, not a strategy. Having 28 different roles is too much, since all of them are completely different from each other and full of little details that make the theme harder to learn. Also, a small game would have 3 conspirators, while a full game would have 10, which is too much IMO. And the /curse idea is needless, seeing as everyone will think it's an error in the theme and will get mad over an author's joke with no purpose at all.
Rice summed this up pretty nicely. 10 conspirators is really wtf, 3-4 as a max at like 30 players. Decline until that is fixed.
The ??? Arceus Shouldn't be seen as a conspirator, but more of a Villager Role. They win with every side because there are two "good" sides, which are the physical and magical elelments. Arceus Creations and Evil Arceus can be seen as the evil sides. Also I've never seen a game go much further than 30, so I built the roles list to be in games of around 25-30 or games of 8-16
The Summary of Arceus The goal of this theme is for the Elemental Arceus to win.(Fire, Ice, Water, Electric, Grass) They are the heroes. The Fire Arceus is the hero. He is supposed to be the one who makes the kills. Ice Arceus does this too, but Ice does it while hiding. Electric Arceus is supposed to reveal much like Mike Kirby does in the Kirby theme, which gives the Heroes its link up. The Water Arceus can inspect in hopes of finding its connections. Grass Arceus has 8% hax on inspect so Water can /Cruise multiple times to trigger that. ??? Arceus can also see this to counter balance it. They can lie and screw it up and such. Grass Arceus is also the Bodyguard, so Water and Grass can connect very quickly to have that classic Bodyguard/Inspect combo. Ice Arceus is just a second killer in case Fire Arceus dies that appears 19th in the list. Physical Arceus are the main characters in small games.(Rock, Ground, Flying, Fighting, Steel) Rock Arceus is supposed to Bodyguard on Ground Arceus. Flying Arceus and Steel Arceus are supposed to help connect. Flying Arceus knows Steel from the start. They both have hax on player reveal. That is their way of connecting. Flying Arceus must rely on his /inspect to find an ally and connect it to Steel. Fighting Arceus can be used as a connector as well. So between Flying/Steel, Fighting, and Rock/Ground pming they can connect each other. Rock is stuck until he can find someone to BG. Evil Arceus are trying to ruin the planet.(Dark, Ghost, Bug, Psychic, Poison) They do not really have a strategy, they are evil and are trying to take out as many people as they can before they go down. Arceus Creations are trying to put the Arceus to sleep. they are all working together which gives them team reveal so they may slay and inspect Arceus. They seem OP but they appear in a balanced form in the roles list. Azelf (10), Uxie (11), Mesprit (12), for small games and Palkia appears late (20) and Dialga, who is very good, (23). Awakened Deities are just weak roles that randomly join a side at the beginning of the game. ??? Arceus plays the role of Villager. It can screw with the voting stage if it wants. It wins no matter what. They are designed to be scape goats and sand bags to blow up.
Man, I hate to be harsh, but that's really not going well for a theme... hell of a confusing game. Until you think better about balancing, simplifying and patching different and creative plays, reject.
White Kyurem is much better choice over Black Kyurem because of the -5 votes. The concepts appears to be similar to the theme "Clan Wars" with the exception of conspirators, and an extra team. There might be problems where 2 or more conspirators joining the same team. I would say Decline.
Is there anyway I can test play this or something? There should be a mini mafia channel to have test play themes. I have a laundry list of things that need fixing.
Very complicating indeed. I remembered there were a classification of Physical and Special Arceus in an old theme. I only played it like once so i can't say that's entirely true. Anyways, ??? Arceus shouldn't be a villager. There SHOULDN'T be a villager role. After all, we have Mythology, right? Chronos is the God of Time (why can't he stop time in this theme?) but he gets inspected as Cronus (or Kronos) leader of the Titans. Why would a god have no action? They're divine and immortal, no? So is Arceus in relativity, regardless if it's just a fashion-savvy horse with an addiction to jewelry and circular belts wrapped around it's belly. He created the Pokemon Universe iirc. Shouldn't EACH of his/her/it's formes have some special (divine) power?
Honestly, Elite's Aaron, this is something of a lost cause. This theme is just not good. You're more than welcome to make your own server for things, but this theme will probably not get the six approvals it needs.
I'll go ahead and put the kiss of death on this one. I remember reviewing this theme before the transition to the forums. While I don't agree that every theme should follow the strategy of having a major PR surrounded by minor PRS and villagers with opposingly equal mafians, I have to draw the line at this theme. Not every theme needs villagers, nor does it need the procedural form of strategy that we've grown accustomed to, a theme does need balance and meaning. If I may say, this theme basically resembles castle, except I actually enjoyed castle b/c the sides were unique and interesting, this is not the case. Now when I say this theme needs balancing, it isn't simply add a bunch a cannon fodder and you're done (although that's usually the case). Rather, sometimes balancing can refer to voting proweress or in this case, PR balancing. Just b/c there are x number of kills there needs to be x number of bgs same applies to poisoners inspects and distracts. There's just too many PRS, some just being useless thus making some teams just pointless and unnecessary. It's a decline from me so let's put this to rest [6].
