If the time has come for a Harry Phoenix to rise from the ashes, strangle another dragon with a scarf, and proceed to run another Dresden game, I certainly can.

My body is ready.

New game for the list: Brighter than Day

A fast-paced, single-mechanic, nothing-hidden, town vs scum game (or possibly town and 2 scum if there's a lot of sign-ups), in a similar vein to my Ambience game.

The name is a flip of Darker than Black (an anime), which inspired the mechanic - players are all naturally roleless but can take "contracts" to gain abilities, which vary widely. Each contract has some "renumeration" that you must pay - anything from you must use song titles in your posts to you must kill yourself.

It's pretty much ready to be run anytime.

So that's Timelords 3, Buffy, Darker than Black and 3 Tapper games on the list at the moment. Very interestink!

I'm thinking at this point it's best to wait until the new year to start any new games... Specially after how poorly the M&P I just ran went.

Well I posted a mini. If it goes, great. If it doesn't I'll put it in the cupboard.

Town vs. Scum or Faction. Depends upon interest/numbers.

TMDI: 4 based on roles. 4-5 based on mind fuckery.

Based very, very loosely on the Day of the Doctor plot. Here a Doctor, there a Doctor, everywhere a Doctor. Which is nice, which is naughty, which is good, which is evil?



I'd like to flesh this out a bit and run it sometime in 2014 as a mini. I've got great 'background' and 'Doctor/Companion' sets from QuickTidal but he's not a mafia player so I'd also like somebody to help me figure out the mechanics.

I've been putting together a game based on Fist of the North Star. Please put me down on the list, although there are a couple of balance snaafus that I'm still working out, so it's not..quite... ready. If my turn were coming up, I'd probably panic and put it together properly, so that's why I'm asking to be put down now.

My game will be using almost the same structure as JLV's Zombies game, but he never finished helping me with it, so it's status is still 'not ready.'

As long as no-one gets to be Chinese Electric Batman, or otherwise have a power predicated on manipulating particles/quantum physics with no remuneration, I can see this being quite fun. :) (The things BK201 could do if he'd only realized his true power, rather than just using it for what amounted to electric shocks...XD)

Obdigore - Dresden Game
Lady Bliss (Blend as co-mod) - Buffy the Vampire Slayer
D'rek - Brighter than Day
Tapper - Mini
Tapper - Standard
Tapper - Standard
Gnaw - Day of the Doctor
Shinrei - Fist of the North Star
Tattersail - Gardens of the Moon


^^^

That's the list of upcoming games.... Of those, I doubt we'll get enough players for Obdi's Dresden game, Bliss hasn't been around Mafia much lately, so dunno bout that, D'rek MAY be ready to run her game, Tapper's been busy at work, but could potentially mod a game, Gnaw's been incommunicado for a while now, and Shin hasn't had much posting time, so dunno if he'd be able to run a game. Could end up being yours if the rest don't/can't run their games yet.

I really ought to play a game again before I run mine, but finding the time is tough. I'll try and make an effort to get back in soon.

Hey there ;)

I'll try to keep this relatively short and to thepoint.

I am organizing a "Game of Mafia Champions",which will feature the very best players from a bunch of different mafiacommunities. A cross-site game.

This is a very huge, very ambitious and very uniqueproject. It's an experiment in seeing what happens when different mafiacultures clash. Also, it's a chance to let the best mafia players on theinternet face off against each other.

The first two games of this kind have already beencompleted (almost 30 different mafia sites participated) and it was a hugesuccess in both instances.

Game 1:http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/59/puzzles-other-games/1-game-mafia-champions-ww-invitational-game-thread-1368321/

Game 2:http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/59/puzzles-other-games/2-game-mafia-champions-ww-invitational-game-thread-1381100/

(feel free to remove the links if they areinappropriate or against your rules)

I am now trying to gather players for the third gamein the series. And I wanted to ask you if your site would be interested inhaving a representative in this game? :)

I will let you guys decide completely by yourself howyou choose this representative, whether it be by public poll or the modselecting the representative or some third thing. The only thing I would ask isthat you please only send someone who you deem to be a champion of your site,someone who has enjoyed accolades or is acknowledged as a consensus top player.Please no "troll representative" :p


Extra information about the game:

- The game is scheduled to start March 24. Each gameday (including night phase) is planned to be 2 real life days. Saturday andSunday will always count as one real life day though, so less time intensiveover the weekend.

- There will be 25 players and the game should last about2 weeks.

- As for the setup, it wil be a semi-open setup withpotential roles being listed in the OP - without revealing which are actuallyin the game.

- If your site wants to, you guys are very free tospectate the game. We will also have a spectator chat on Skype set up whichanyone not in the game can be invited to. It was very fun for the first twogames and attracted people from a bunch of different sites.


Note: It really is important that the chosen personcan post every game day. If there isn't anyone on your site who would be ableto manage this fast paced format, then that is obviously understandable :p.

Thanks for taking the time to read this. I hope thatyou're as excited about this as I am. Please let me know if you have anyquestions.



Kind regards,
Thingyman

Hah wow, I've only just noticed this post. I would vote for Messremb to go I reckon. He's been impressive in post quality and quantity every single game.
