Objectivia
is a
Hidden Identity Objective-based Real-Time-ish Party Game
format I made up a while ago
In
Objectivia
, no one has teams, no one has alignment.
Everyone is on their own, with their own unique objective and win conditions.


At the start of the game, each participant will be secretly given an
Objective
, consisting of a
Win Condition
, and a
Failure Condition
.
You win if you successfully claimed your completion, and you lose if your current objective remains incomplete by the end of game.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CLAIMING COMPLETION


In order for your objective to be considered completed, you must
announce that you have completed your objective within this thread
.

When a
Completion Claim
has been announced, everything will come to a pause while the player are being judge whether they actually have successfully completed their objective or not. No other participants is allowed to post anything within this thread during this time period.

If the claim turns out to be a Successful claim, they win the game, and will be removed from the game immediately.
However, if the claim failed, they will be given a new and COMPLETELY different Objective, meaning they basically have to start the game over.

After the claim have been judged, the game will resume.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CLAIMING CHALLENGE


A mechanic to help you stop other from winning is the
Challenge Claim
.
Claiming Challenge means you are attempting to guess a player's Objective.

If you would like claiming a Challenge, you must
announce that you wish to Challenge a certain player within this thread
.
No more than one Challenge Claim can occur at once, but the game will not be pause while a Challenge Claim is being judged.

If the claim turns out to be a Successful claim, the
Challenged
player will be given a new Objective.
However, if the claim failed, the
Challenging
player will be given a new Objective, no matter how close to completion they are.

Whether a Challenge is considered successful or not will solely depends on the Host(s)' judgement based on how close your guess were.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OBJECTIVE FAILURE


Each Objective will come with its own
Failure Condition
.

The Host(s) will be checking regularly whether a player have failed their Objective or not.

Once a player have been found to have failed their Objective, they will be secretly informed that they have failed, and given a new Objective.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ENDGAME


The game ends when the
Game Time
run out.
Everyone's objective will be checked one last time more to see if there are any more winners.
All remaining players who have not claimed Completion will
lose, no exceptions
.

Since failed Objectives will be swapped out for a new one, there is a possibility that I might not have enough Objectives to last the entire game ;-;

Of course I forgot to mention some important things. Great start.

Some Objectives also comes with
Special Abilities
that you can use and/or
Restriction(s)
that you must follow.

Special Abilities
will be activated via DM unless stated otherwise.

"Not following the
Restriction(s)
" will also be a secondary Failure Condition.

also an apology beforehand becuase i won't really be as active as i wish i could be ;-;

Alright! and with that

THE GAME HAVE STARTED.


All 6 players have been given their First objectives.

Also, entry is always open for this game, but joining later in the game might give you a big disadvantage.

Good evening, welcome to OBJ News, I'm Benjamin Fordapastfewdays, here to inform you on the least significant of news.

However, today we DO have an important news, which is that there have been reported of an
Alien
hiding among us within this game!
Words from authorities this morning suggested that so far they seems to be rather harmless and we all should keep calm and act like normal, but also make sure to watch out! If you ever find any traces of abnormality within your area, please send in reports immediately.

And with that, here's the unimportant news for today.

A local farmer have had all of his baby chicks mysteriously disappeared yesterday morning. Today, the police have arrested a blob of water about Kirby's size who appears to be an authority within the local Celtic religious community, and upon further inspection, the missing chicks are all just put away in a tiny hidden compartment within the farm. The case have been concluded that the Druid Pluid hid his pullets.

Thank you for reading, we will be back again soon with more useless news.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

tl;dr - There's a role called "
Alien
" currently in the game. That's all you get to know for now.

Now that's what I call a spectacular start to a game! Who is this Alien, what can he do? So many questions...

I think the best way to evoke reactions from all players might as well be for everyone to say what they assume the Alien role could be.

I'll kick off, seems fair to me to do that. Knowing as much about aliens as a non-American, I'd assume they could at one point abduct another player (aliens do abductions, am I right?), then that player automatically loses and they'll be given a new role.
Probably the Alien first has to do a certain thing before they could then abduct someone. Any other thoughts?

They probably have some sort of advanced technology. I don't know what, but extraterrestrials are generally assumed to be highly advanced.

If I had to guess, it's a role that needs to avoid being found by the other players. I wouldn't be able to guess the details, though.

PvtUrist, could you please elaborate in understandable language what you are trying to make clear to us? Don't make us feel alienated...

Speaking of aliens: is it possible that you're speaking in a code language spoken only by an... Alien?

I mean, I also have not a single clue what he is saying, but I indeed was careless and didn't write any rules regarding unconventional/alternatives methods of conveying messages within the thread, so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Too late for that now too, oh well.

Now I'm not quite sure if that's a strategically planned play, or you're just messing with us.

I wonder which.
