Well then. I guess I have no choice.

I'll also be running a Lucid Dreamers game at some point during the weekend, as is tradition. Please spread the word.

I have been looking forward to this coming back. I am gonna run another

Everyone is a Serial Killer Mafia!


Its time for part 4 with slightly different mechanics. Things will work similar to part 3. If 3 or more people are alive, game continues. If 2 are alive we go to the shoot or no shoot endgame just like in last part. If only 1 person is alive, that person wins. NEW MECHANIC = If everyone dies (Outside 2 player end game scenario) then I win! Yes i gave myself a win condition to avoid players taking advantage of the old circle kill for all player victory strategy. You see there will be some new killing mechanics introduced in part 4 in the next paragraph. And the old cricle kill strategy could break the new mechanics pretty hard. So to avoid that happening I've created an "all players lose, I win" mechanic to stop it. Time to discuss the new special killing mechanic.

The killing spree mechanic we had last time could reward people at random. What's better than being rewarded at random? Earning your reward! In part 4 if you receive the most protects at night then your kill for that night is super charged! It will be guaranteed to work regardless of how many protects are in its way. If more than one person has the most protects, then each player with the most protects, gets their kill super charged! (This why i have to derail the circle kill strategy. Everyone could plan to super kill everyone, and where's the fun in that?) Use your charisma and day play to get protects at night, so you can super kill your enemies!

I will run this on either March 30th, 31st or April 2nd. I won't be running a game on the holiday.

@Everyone if you need an automated vote counter hit me up. I plan on observing the marathon games and running my VC in the background of some of them but if you're game is super fast paced an automated VC might just help you :D

I normally don't go for that, but I think an automated VC would help out here.

I'm also thinking about going big with my Lucid Dreamer game this year. 5 years ago, I ran one with 17 players. I'm wondering if we can top that, and if anyone would be interested in such a game. If so, I'll also need some people to help me process night actions.

Does anyone know what the current record is for the largest Marathon game?

Note: I edited my last post to better clarify why the new rules/mechanics were being introduced.

Alter your sleep cycle
Also, what is NM doing? Worst play I’ve ever seen.
I can't remember the last N_M post that wasn't bland, unimaginative and lame. Some shitposters are at least somewhat funny. You are the epitomy of the type of poster that nobody would miss if you were to suddenly disappear. You never add anything of value.
I'm guessing you haven't read the game and probably never will? Why even sign up to play?

Zoraster and I are the leaders of that group. In the past the group was set to request only, but I believe we put it in open status during last years marathon weekend so that anyone who wants access instantly gets it, that way games were more easily created. I'll pm zoraster and see if he has any problem with me setting it to open status a little early. I'll post here when its open.
