Many of you are familiar with the Space Invaders theme on server, but what would happen if we applied this to forum mafia? Is it still just a game of follow-the-LC and hope you don't get shot? Is it possible to find strategy in a game set very similar to Vanilla? Opening up a kind of theme like this with one focal role along with making it OC makes it very interesting to figure out how things will revolve around the Laser Cannon. There are only three different roles in this game: A Bunker has three protects and can decide whether to protect or not. They can protect anyone, even themselves. An alien has a shared kill during the night with its team and a second kill every other night, separate from the team. The Laser Cannon has the ability to kill any person during the day by posting in the thread. If the Laser Cannon dies, the Defenders (bunkers and LC) lose. Note: All players are given the identity of the Laser Cannon at the start. General Rules Spoiler 1. Feel free to discuss the game while alive, but once you die or have won, please do not discuss the game with anyone. If you wish to sub in, try to keep up with the game while not discussing the game with anyone. 2. This game will start on Night 1. Role PMs may be exchanged as soon as Day 1 begins. 3. Do not take spelling or grammatical errors as proof of faking. 4. You may paste things that I tell you. You can fake logs; ask me for assistance if you would like it. Screenshots are disallowed. Do not impersonate hosts or other players. 5. I may, on occasion, lie to you. However, this is likely only going to happen to feed whatever misinformation is already going around, rather than introducing new misinformation. 6. Deadlines will always be 48 Hours if night, and 72 if day. 6.5. If I am busy, the cycle may go for a bit longer, or may be a bit shorter. I will try to post the deadline, and update will come in the next few hours after that. 7. Stealth lynching will be allowed if you can pull it off. PM the host for help, though they won't delay the deadline if your vote is absent. 8. To vote you must bold your vote and post “Lynch <person>” or "Vote <person>". I prefer using "Unvote <person>" in bold if you need to change your vote. You may choose to vote “No Lynch” as well, and any vote towards a dead user or not present user will not be counted. If you would like to vote for nothing but have already voted for something, type unvote in your new post,and, if applicable, say who you are voting, 9. You may target whoever you wish with your actions. Note that targeting players not present is likely to have no effect. 10. Priorities follow the priorities of aliens on the server. The first person to be killed will be the target of the aliens' shared kill. 11. PM Windblown on the forums for your night actions. If you are choosing to not use your ability, please submit “Night X - Idling”. 12. If a Role PM and the rules clash, the role PM takes precedence. 13. There may be a postgame. It would be wonderful if I had an idea of what is going on, so don’t feel afraid to talk to me about your thoughts on the game, though I cannot correctly confirm nor deny any thoughts you have bouncing around in your head. I may also approach you every now and then and ask for your thoughts; if you are busy when I ask just say so and Iwill leave you alone. Logs of important private messages would be appreciated, and if there's anything specific you wish to be included, tell me. 14. I am GMT-8 if you want to ask me things on the server. 15. Be active. Make sure you are active. You will lose if you are not active, and your inactivity will hurt any alliances that you have entered into. Nobody likes an inactive player. If I feel that you can become more active, we will send you a warning PM. However, if Ido not feel you will become active even if we give you a warning, I may sub you out without warning. Please be active. 16. The PO channel will be #Jalmont Mafia. 17. No editing posts. Signups will close in three days or so. There's no definite player limit, because the setup will depend on how many people are playing. Players: 1. meepsvictory 2. Veteran Padgett 3. Marquis 4. Selena Gomez 5. Epikhairz 6. MeowMix sux 7. Beast 8. MetalGross 9. ZoroDark 10. Chisposo 11. Trace Of Life 12. ajhockeystar 13. ZZZX 14. NotMafia 15. Fiery Espeon 16. dopog 17. Daybreak 18. Finchinator 19. VirajVora 20. SteelEdges 21. EljayQuiz 22. Withoutatrace 23. IronStorm 24. bugzinator 25. diamondslight
Sure, in. I think the number of protects a bunker gets should be proportional to the number of players in the game. Say x/6 number of protects. Rounding up and not going above 3. Just an idea.
Re: @Beast's suggestion. I'm keeping it as similar to the server mafia theme as possible, but with a large amount of people (like 24+ or so) that's when I'd actually consider upping the protects. I already have 16 as of now in which case 3 is a good amount of protects. I also updated the OP with general rules that I forgot to place first time around.
User @diamondslight has difficulty accessing forums right now but he PM'd me that he wanted in so he's in. Also, conveniently locking signups (you have until I put up the thread to join).
