Krazy's Post-Apocalypse uPick (19/19)

~~~Krazy's Post-Apocalypse uPick~~~


  • Nineteen players square off in a game with flavor picks from any post-apocalyptic media from any time (including tv shows, comics, novels, music videos, computer games, films, or anything else really)
  • When you sign up, PM me three characters from any post-apocalyptic media, i.e., "1. Ellie from The Last of Us, 2. Ada Wong from Resident Evil 2, 3. Furiosa from Mad Max: Fury Road"
  • There will be only one groupscum faction, and their number may range from 3-4 (including potential mafia traitors). There may be more than one third party role, including up to one jester or jester-like ability. (Jester win does not cause other factions to lose)
  • There will be at least twelve town players and at least 3 mafia players
  • 10 day day 1, 8 day dayphases after that, 2 day nights
  • Maximum of 6 additional hydra heads (so theoretically up to 6 2-player hydras) -- first come, first serve. All hydras must sign consistently or make it clear which head is posting and have a single handle associated with their hydra name. While stealth hydras are OK, the handle of which head is posting should still be consistent. I must be made aware of the main of stealth alts and hydras even if the main is not going to be revealed to the list.
  • This game uses WotM and WotC l-2. Players that have repeatedly been force-replaced due to activity are likely to be wotm'd
  • Jingle is backup modding and reviewing. Skitter will also be reviewing
  • This will be a swingy game but not role madness. This game might not have a vanilla town or mafia goon, but it will have at least one "vanilla town"-like role and one "mafia goon"-like role. I do not guarantee that you will be able to guess how each role works mechanically. Most "new" roles will involve the "scavenging/equipment" system which I am still tweaking. I think this will be *slightly* less swingy than Anime Upick but Krazy's Anime Upick is probably a good ballpark for the level of swing in this game.
  • For clarity, I will be making six initial pools randomly: vt, negativeutility/lowpower/named roles, TPR, groupscum, 3rd party(/ies), mod discretion. These initial pools will be random and not flavor based.
  • Please give me at least three days to design and review the game after signups are complete.

Certainly no shortage of flash zombie games :P

Although if you get really obscure it helps if there's at least like a wiki entry on the character or something.

Pretty openly. I'd prefer not too many picks from things where the world 'seems like it might end but then is saved in the end' but things with flashbacks or where it's not post-apocayptic at the very beginning is fine. Or where it's not really clear if it's a 'world-wide' event but could be is also okay. You can ask me questions about picks on discord if you're unsure

While I generally err on the side of inclusivity I'm not sure I want to include shows that are only post-apocalyptic through fan theory rather than style/motif/iconography

I got a question about this so to be clear, it takes two votes to Wisdom of the Crowds someone. I won't mention single votes in thread. WotC votes should be via on site PM or through discord, please do not mention them in thread.

Some further clarification on relationship between flavor picks and power. While flavor picks can slightly influence the nature of your powers if you are in either group power pool (scum power pool or town power pool), flavor picks are unlikely to increase your likelihood of rolling a specific third party role because those are usually pools of 1.

i.e., say there's a 9 player setup: 1 jester, 2 scum prs [2-3], 3 town prs [4-6], and 3 vts [7-9]. If your flavor leans toward a doctor, and you roll a "8" it doesn't matter, because you are in the vt pool. But if you roll a "4" you are more likely to be a doctor, because you landed in the town pr pool.

In such an example, the players should not assume someone is more likely to be a "jester" just because their flavor pick seems 'jestery-y' because that is totally based on the initial roll (1-9), but if someone's flavor is "doctor-y" they are slightly more likely to be an actual doctor (although could still be scum or town doctor)

that's a really interesting question that I would probably have to re-watch the movie to decide

aren't the creatures in the nightmare world there voluntarily and that's their accepted social order?

I feel like maybe not?

There were some wotc votes but no one hit two votes, so at this point I'm going to say no one is getting wotc'd. If this is a major problem for you and you'd like to argue I should wotm someone, you're welcome to message me on discord or on site, but at present it is not my intention to wotm anyone (and I have at this point rolled alignments and begun designing so it would be inconvenient for me to remove anyone from the game at this point).

Ok got picks from mena

Four total heads are confirmed. I will accept up to 2 additional heads, but additional heads joining should be aware that flavor picks are now locked in

Pretty sure mena's hydra is not looking for more heads but I have no problem with 2 more heads joining a super with nancy before game start.
