Rules of Engagement

Stolen from myself, mostly.

0. Obey all site rules. Do not violate the spirit of the game.
1. Each day will last ten days.
2. I will prod a player after fourty-eight hours without posting. If a player accumulates three prods in a game, I will replace that player.
3. If you need to go on V/LA for whatever reason, please PM me for how long. You will have until twenty-four hours after that date to post again.
4. Voting is to be done in either bold text or vote brackets. I will not count any attempts to vote that are not in one of those two formats. Unvotes are not required.
5. A lynch is achieved when half of the current votes, rounded down plus one have voted for a player. Once that event has happened, all votes are locked and the day will end.
6. If a deadline is achieved and a player has not achieved the majority for lynching, then a no lynch will occur.
7. Once your dead, your dead. Please do not post anymore. If you were replaced out for whatever reason, please do not post in thread.
8. You may not discuss the game outside this thread with other players involved in the game unless your role specifically says so. If you can, you may only discuss at the private topic listed to in your PM. You may have a 'rant buddy' who is outside the game.
9. Anyone who is not playing but wishes to commentate on the game may PM for access to a spectator thread. Any player who has died will be given access to the spectator thread.
10. I am not responsible for your mistakes. If you screw up a tag or something, I will not edit it for you. If you have the ability to edit posts, please do not do so.
11. Avatars, titles, signatures, and your location are out-of-game areas.

12. I only allow hydrae if they have a maximum of two heads and are public.

13. Please do not quote out-of-thread communications.

This includes any communications between heads of a hydra.

I am not afraid to modkill, so do not test me. Content from out of game influences may be used(ie

metagaming

), but specific timestamps and other such things are semi-off-limits.
14. Players may only use one active ability per phase.
15. Although somewhat divine, I am prone to mistakes. If I miss anything, please PM me and I will resolve the issue as best as possible.
16.

Bolded Purple

is my color, it would serve you well not to use it.
17. Daytalk is enabled for all factions by default.
18. I reserve the right to modkill any players who either intentionally or unintentionally abuse the replacement system to effect the gamestate.
19. Nobody likes a rules lawyer.

Game-Specific Rules

1. CO Powers
--Each player has a CO Power, which can only be activated when a player has the number of stars[*] as defined in their role PM.
--Each player gets one * at the beginning of each night. If that player was on the lynch wagon, they get an additional *.
--CO Powers may be used multiple times, but the * cost must be paid each time.
--Unless otherwise stated, a COP is an active ability and cannot be activated in conjunction with other abilities.

2. Affiliations
--All players have at least two affiliations--a National Affiliation and a Alignment Affiliation.
--National Affiliations are those factions that represent your nation(Orange Star, Blue Moon, etc). They have no direct bearing on your alignment.
--Alignment Affiliations are the ones that determine your alignment. The primary two in this game are the

Allied Nations

and

Neo Black Hole

, which represent the standard town/mafia factions, respectively. There may or may not be other Alignment Affiliations.

3. Roles were (mostly) decided separate of alignment. Mostly.

4. Sample Role PM

Name:

Penny

Affiliation:

Offworlders {Players in neighborhood go here},

Allied Nations

Abilities:

Mr. Bear--Each night, you may visit a player and show them Mr. Bear.
Precocious Psychotic Child--Your role PM is the example role PM!
Wistful--You are immune to the effects of weather.

CO Power:

Stormfront[******************************]---For the rest of the game, you choose who, if anyone, each player targets each night.

Win Condition:

Allied Nations

--You win when all

Neo Black Hole

members are dead.

[Natirasha]

Hey everyone, just chiming in to say that we're still working hard at building the setup!

[Natirasha]

I have updated the third post with the game's game-specific roles. Role PMs will be going out shortly after I finish some IRL things.

[Natirasha]

All Role PMs are out!

I have added a sample role PM to the third post, it might be in your best interest to read it.

Please confirm in thread. Daystart when enough people confirm.

[Natirasha]

That's enough of that. It's day one now.

[Natirasha]

Desperado apparently rescinded his /in at some point. I missed it. He is being replaced.

How are star points distributed on a mod-kill or a daykill?

They aren't.

[Natirasha]

If I did something to intentionally get modkilled to avoid scum getting starpoints on my lynch, what repercussions would it have?

I'm not going to answer this question because it makes me so mad.

So, this game.

This

fucking

game.

We were busy with the setup down to literally the last twenty minutes before I sent out role PMs. It went through a lot of changes and, honestly, could have used another full round of testing to get out all the kinks. I gave Vi, Tar and GIF something resembling an impossible challenge in actually making this setup wonderful I want to truly thank them, from the bottom of my heart--it is only through their help that it got to the state it's in.

That said, this setup was whack. Prior to the game starting, I had no preconceptions to how the game would work. I had a vague idea for the CO Power system(which, I think, more than anything else, worked, and I will likely use again in some capacity), I had the affiliation/mass neighborhoods planned, and I had one role interaction(as long as Lash and Olaf were both in the game, I intended from the start for him to be a lyncher on her), but everything else was built spur-of-the-moment. It shows. The town had a lot(a LOT) of power, but the scum equally had very strong ways to circumvent it--permanent ninjas, unroleblockability, SUPER STRONGMEN+vig at a low cost, the lightning rod(which backfired here, but functioned pretty much as another strongman kill), roleblocks, up until shortly before the game started, Hawke's COP was a Paranoid Gun Owner, too.

I want to say a word as to the pick order: I distinctly skewed it towards the non-Days of Ruin COs(I apologize to Konowa and Brian Skies, in particular, that I had to stretch hard to get), because I prefer that source material and wanted to consolidate the DoR characters to one neighborhood. Thanks to Bookitty, too, who said 'put me wherever', which let me fill the YC neighborhood.

Anyways, the biggest problem with the setup was Konowa's role. In an earlier iteration, the star system didn't gain stars passively--it gained them by people targeting each other with night actions(that setup also had every player have a targeted ability)--so it made sense to have at 2-stars. When the system changed, this one 'fell through the cracks' as it were.

I think the game would have changed dramatically with a different scumteam--due to the way the game mechanics worked, it rewarded players who took initiative. SSK, Saki, Desperado are all very passive players so to speak, and ABR, while good at what he does, has tendencies to get distracted at times so to speak. I instinctual knew this game was going to be a town win from the beginning. But, the RNG dictated it and so...

While the CO Power system worked out great and I would love to use it in another context, the neighborhoods are a mess. I -like- closed-group mechanics quite a bit, but, in large numbers, they lose an amount of focus and end up being a detriment. I did some interesting things with them this game--the mason's private talk wasn't closed to them being the best implementation. I think, though, the general number of high-number neighborhoods in recent past has kinda pissed everyone off with the concept and I promise I won't run another one of these for a good while.

As to my moderation, I want to apologize--I have been experiencing some serious mafia burnout lately and it kinda proxied over into how I went about this game. The lack of vote counts, slow response time, and generally does-not-give-a-fuck attitude all came out of that. I am going to take a break from moderating for a while to recharge my creative batteries and give better content to my games, because the behavior I displayed here was disrespectful to my players.

THAT BEING SAID, some of the behavior displayed by players this game was also highly disrespectful. I don't believe in taking a heavy hand to rules, I don't like rules lawyering. Cryptology is a very shady ground as it were, because I want to allow for some measure of conspiracy-making in my games and things like making closed-references to previous games that only certain players would understand should be fine(heavens know I do this in games a lot). However, a few players abused that hospitality this game and tried to do things that, to me, violated the spirit of the game, then publically aired their concerns in-thread. It is only through the better graces of

some

of my review staff that I didn't outright modkill or force replace orcinus after his post, in particular. I understand if people are dissatified with my moderation, but leave it in private(or go rant to someone outside the game!) til after the game has ended--seriously, it's just disrespectful and completely not helpful during the game.

I do not fault ABR for conceding, so that's fine. I'm honestly glad, because the gambit pile up that was about to happen would have been rather tiresome to weed through.

[Natirasha]

My next game will most likely be Arcadia II: Dusk, which is an original-flavor sequel to my micro game of the same title. I am going to take a break until after the holidays, though, before beginning that game. With any luck, I will have the same

compadre

of review staff and I hope people will be ready when it starts!

Until next time, thanks for playing! All night actions and star totals will be found in the death thread, which will be edited here shortly.

Nati I loved my role

Your role actually came about because I had no good ideas for Penny. But, I knew I needed a sample role PM due to the very specific structure in this game, so when i came across that I was like holy shit that's perfect. Your COP was distinctly made impossible to accomplish because we figured your role was already so powerful as an easily-confirmable friendly neighbor.

[Natirasha]

Also, I absolutely loved my character PM. I don't really know much about Advance Wars, I just thought the characters I picked would be fun to play.

Sasha's role is one I'm particularly proud of. I tried really hard to make your role work as close to it's in-game counterpart. It succeeded!

[Natirasha]

Your role literally did not change at all from initial conception to final concept.
