Hydra Only uPick the Third (Full)

Post Post #0 (isolation #0) » Wed Feb 14, 2018 8:41 am

Post by Alisae »

Its another hydra anything uPick because Elli wanted to hydra in something weeeeee

TO REVISIT OLD MECHANICS!
> Anything uPick. You have to send me 3 pairs. So like couples or things that just go well together.
> I'm not designing the game with balance in mind. Expect crazy shit.
> Each Head of the Hydra will recieve a role! This is the main concept behind every hydra game I run.
> Upon Lynch, both heads of the hydra will flip with their Role PMs.
> A Hydra cannot be targetted with an action, instead you must target the heads of the Hydra.
> If a head of a hydra were to die, their alignment and role will not flip until the other half of the hydra dies. Their flavour however will flip.
> If a head of a hydra were to die, the hydra account that was previously used cannot post. Instead, the alive head must use their main account to post.
> There will be events and prizes recieved from said events. The usage of Prizes cannot be seen. (To explain events, events are minigames that will happen at certain time. People will /in for the event once it goes into sign-ups to play the minigame.

NEW MECHANICS!
> Scum will have a factional hydra kill.
> I'm allowing 15 hydras minimum, and 19 hydras max. So upon inning, state a preference on how many hydras you want in the game.
> Upon inning, hydras will state their preference between the following deadline lenghts in order from "I want this the most" to "I want this the least."
48 hour days, 24 hour nights.
96 hour days, 24 hour nights
7 Days, 48 hour nights

Restrictions
> I'm going to be loosely WOTMing this.

I mean
now that you posted in thread yeah
you're in.

Also that I believe makes us full.
I think the consensus was 15p and 10 day deadlines?
Thats fine with me, I mostly wanted to vary the playercount to allow more hydras in if they wanted in.
GiF has tonight to find a partner then I'm freeing up the slot.

I would put here a "I might allow more hydras to join" but I think I might be on the wrong end of pitchforks if I do that.
So IF anyone else wants to join, I'm most likely saying no.

In all seriousness, I expect this to take me about a week tbh.
It might take sooner if I work faster, but knowing my work habits, yeah, about a week.
Like again, I'll keep this thread updated I suppose, or setup the gamethread so you know exactly where we are in terms of everything.

But while that happens.
Gamethread is up. I'll replace that with my opening posts later, I don't know if I'm using my current one, my old one, or making something completely new with ASCII.

For those that can't read it.
Picks - How many picks I got in. At this point I have everyone's so...
Setup - The roles in such. I have to design about 30 roles (15 hydra, 1 roles per head).
Sanity Check - Basicly to make sure nothing is too overpowered and there isn't really anything that really breaks the game.
Events - The minigames and stuff. I have an idea what games I'll use, but whats more important is determining the prizes.
Role PMs - Actual wording of abilities, the formatting of the PM, that stuff :P
Flavor - Writing and stuff, we like good writing and ye.
Final Touches and Review - Self explanitory.

Ok I think I spent about like what, 5 hours on this (We went from having 73% of the setup done to almost about 100%, and even then everything is just about done + Fitting everything into a Role PM)?
You can check the progress if you would like.
But I need a break, and then write a paper, and then either A. Sleep or B. Write Flavor
probably Sleep and think about Flavor tomorrow or something.

At this pace btw, I expect to have sanity checking maybe take 1-2 days
Prizes and events will take a day if not less. Probs could crack that in about an hour or two
Flavor to take anywhere from 15 minutes and mocking people like how I did in Once Upon a Time or me tryharding on it and getting it done in 5 hours straight to 3 days working on and off.
Expect Tryharding to a degree because I feel like I would be doing a disservice if I didn't.

Details to come about the setup when the Sanity Check is done.

This is extremely hard writing on my Ipad and having to look at Titus' avi and just seeing that penguin be so happy.

But I need to write this.
I don't think I'm writing flavor in the role pms themself.
And its not because they're bad.
I might change my mind by the time I wake up
I don't think I'm in the right mental state to make this decision, or a correct one at that.

When I'm reading flavor from other mods and I love the flavor
I'm going to be hyped for the game.
I'm gong to want to play the game.
I am going to love the game.

Flavor hooks your players into the game.
It gets them excited.

But these words I'm writing.
They're not exciting.
They're painful words to write.
They're painful words to read.
They're painful words in general.
No one wants to see this.
No one wants to read this.
It would just take a huge shit on everyone's mood.
"OH YAY, I GOT AN ALI ROLE PM"
> opens the pm
"what...what am I reading..."
It would just
Kill the mood.

It would be effective
But it ruins the feeling.
I wouldn't want to read this and go "I AM SO HYPED FOR THIS GAME."
I would read it and go "why am I reading this..."
You can't read this and go "I'm excited to play mafia."
(Are my games even mafia? :thinking:)
If anything, you would just feel bad for me...

That doesn't mean I wouldn't do flavor for the transitions, ofc I'm going to do that.

It's just.
If I am going to want to set a mood with flavor.
The mood I want to set is "I am excited to play this game" not "Should I be concerned about Ali?"

Because even if the words I'm currently writing are painful.
They're real.
So yeah...

I need some sleep.
I'll probably change my mind when I wake up its just
I don't feel like I could make a logical decision right now with the thoughts that are roaming around in my head (hint: They're the worst possible things you could ever be thinking)
So some sleep will just help ignore the problem.
And once I'm not thinking about that.
I'll make a logical decision.

Actually
I changed my mind.
It may not be as impactful as
well
what was motivating me to write the post above me
(If anyone wants to see flavor that I DID write I'll save it and share it postgame)

It may not be much (and it'll mostly carry through flips, so still don't expect much role pm wise)
but I can't sleep when I have a thought on my mind.
And I can work with a lot more ease when I have an idea.
And it'll be a lot more fun.
Plus I wanted to do this for awhile now.

Trust me :]
It'll be fun ;)

ok I finished flavor it
turns out writing flavor makes you feel less like a piece of shit.
Maybe it was the fact I was writing depressing flavor in the first place that made me feel like a piece of shit?
:thinking:

Anyways
Now I can sleep.

If we're lucky, we can get past review and make all of the events and prizes by tonight.
So expect pms to be out by say, either today if we're lucky, to Saturday at the latest.
Sunday if were EXTREMELY unlucky.

I am also going to take this time to talk about some important mechanics.

THERE IS NO DEAD THREAD
- As in, you can be revived and posting again at any given notice.
Also, I'm giving scum the ability to post in their scum PT even if they are dead.
There is a minimum of 11 slots being town and 3 slots being groupscum. The last slot can either be town or 3p.

Also I'm slightly changing events a bit.
There will be some events that are public for everyone. I am going to mostly focus on this :]
And then there will some events that will be at a time that you'll have to /in for.

You're welcome.

There might be more I am missing, but thats those are in general the more important things

I'M ABOUT TO GET SOME SLEEP PCE
