Okay, to compensate for less players I've removed Ben, Quil, Emily and Eric and the Coroner. Quil's vig goes to Sam, the Coroner's ability goes to the Doctor/Angela. I'm also going to combine Bella and Renesmee into a single player (since Renesmee does nothing 'til night 3 and Bella does nothing after night 3). Since the randomization gave Bella/Ren to Ment, I think he could handle doing it as both alts and I'd enjoy the mind-fuck of more alts than players (plus Illy secret, there'll be 2 extra), so yeah, I'm in favour of giving Ment two alts. What do you guys think?

[HoosierDaddy]

It comes with obvious advantages, two votes, detraining, symping and other whatnots. I'd probably despise it if I was in game and not Ment, but it's your game. Does one alt's death = both deaths? That'd be a way of balancing it somewhat.

If Bella dies before Renesmee is born (which occurs Night 3 at the absolute earliest), then they both die. Renesmee is less than an RI before that point and Bella is just an RI after that. Thing is, if it was two players they'd know each other and always be on the same faction so the voting power isn't really any different from if it was 2 players...

Role/Faction PMs are sent out,

alt PMs sent to Tapp, Bent, The Dude and GK so far. Don't want to send to beru, Ment or m45 yet in case of last minute changes but the rest are solid.

[Shinrei]

Ok! Here we go. I'm looking forward to this first real modding experience. Of course, I had to pick the most complicated game I could

[Path-Shaper]

Damnit, Grief is leaving! Well I PM'd Impirion and tehol to see if they'll join, and I'll send one to Masterblue too, forgot about him.

Oh and alt PM sent to PB.

[Path-Shaper]

PM sent to Ment (he just takes Tellan and will have a 2-char role that is basically both Bella and Renesmee's abilities combined into one alt). Also sent to Venge, Morgy, Gem, dkt, ST, Illy, Gavin, DiBs, baudin and MTS.

[Path-Shaper]

Okay, so with the decrease in RIs, the Carlisle Recruit bit changes a bit. Here's the new PM:

Quote

Name: Carlisle
Faction: Cullens

You are Carlisle, but due to your Transylvanian heritage and medicaldegree you prefer to be called "Herr Docteur" in that funnyevil-sidekick way. Despite living since the medieval ages, your onlyspecial magic vampire ability is that you have 'compassion'.Consequently, you really hate the author.

You already know your adopted son, Edward (Galain).

Abilities:

[3] Heal – You are a doctor, after all. You can heal any player (including yourself) each night.

[10] Recruit – When you're not stalkingsomeone waiting for them to get stabbed, the night time can get ratherboring, so why not head down to the local pub get drunk?! Your cockyswagger and enormous broadsword will seduce many women. If anyattractive women are also at the bar, you may wake up the next morningto find that you've turned them into a vampire! With sex! (That doesseem to be the way Stephanie Meyer turns people into vampires...). You do not need to choose a target for this action, simply show up at the bar and if any seducable targets are there you will seduce them, recruit them and turn them into a vampire.

You cannot heal and Recruit on the same night.

Also, appropriate targets: Tyler (Kaschan) after his vigs have been used up, Mike (Silanah) if and after Bella has been recruited to the Queleti, Laurent (HP) if and after James and Victoria have died, Billy (Alkend) if and after Jacob and Sam have died.

[Path-Shaper]

Allright, alt PMs sent to everyone. We are currently lacking the two RIs and Billy, these 3 2 being the least crucial roles. If we're lucky we'll get a last-minuter, but can't count on that. Regardless it should still be pretty balanced and I think we'll be okay. I'll start the game in not too long.

edit: Impirion is in and Billy, yay!

Serc, on 21 October 2009 - 06:29 PM, said:

ok,do i have to choose the coven il start with now? or can i not kill onnight one. Also with the Irish can they be different targets for thekill and the find.
Oh and the reinfiltrate does that basically meanwhile i [pretty much have 3 NK BP's if i get killed i wont be able toact on the next night but thats it?

You pick one now to start with and should give an order of preference for if you die.

Find and Kill can be different targets.

Re-infiltratemeans that if you get NK'd, your next person moves in immediately, soif you get killed by an action with timing of, say, 3, then your nextcharacter moves in between action-time 3 and action-time 4. If there'sanother action that targets you with action-time 5, then you'll dieagain that night (but 2 actions of action-timing-3 aimed at you wouldonly kill you once). It also means that when you die you don't get towait and pick who moves in next because it happens right away. Getit?

0k for now i think il start with Denali to ensure a body count then the order il go for is
Romanian-Egyptian-Irish.
Ifi do get killed the romanian should make sure i wont get wounded aswell with my new coven, if i then get killed somehow again in that turnthen i cant be found against because of the egyptian. Irish has nodefensive abilities but will be useful in end game i figure

Despitethe fact that every other character is in love with Bella,somehow thefact that you have a crush on her is significant somehow.As the onlyhuman boy whom she is remotely interested in, it's up toyou to seduceher before her other suitors can win her over.

You know Bella is Tellann.

Abilities:

[3] Entice -Each night you can openlystalk Bella and repeatedly ask her out untilshe finally says yes justto get you to shut up. Doing so will bring herone point closer tostaying human and joining the Town faction.

[2] Guard- If stalking Bella is toorepetitive, you can follow someone elsearound and nag them instead.They'll be so annoyed that they won'tperform any night actions.

You can either Guard or Entice each night, but not both. You cannot perform any actions while Wounded.

so, I don't have the 10 posts per day limit, AND I get to be the FM past day 3?

sweet.

now, to get Edward lynched....

hmm, so, barghast is Gem.

and Silanah the grammar nazi's one of my "suitors"

and I think Alkend's m45, and silanah could be GK.

we need more people to be here, esp Galain, so that I can get Edward lynched.

hmmm, question:

what if edward's lynched Day 1, Wolf boy lynched day 2, and the third guy day 3?

there'd be no one left to knock me up *gasp*

would we get some of that asexual conception stuff going?

I hadn't thought of that.

hehe

not that i'm gonna push all three of those lynches, mind you... maybe just Edward.

you remember how I said that if i'd get Edward or Bella i'd play like a Jester?

well, the only reason i'm not doing that is cause I wanna live long enough to be the FM.

Fine,ifall your suitors died I suppose I would make you a faction-lessFMandjust let you have fun with it. Heck, the suitors could all evendieonthe first couple nights if people picked their NAs right.

SWEET!!!!


I would love you forever if that happened,

Well I'd rather it didn't! You get to be FM either way, remember!

yes, well I want to get rid of Edward. on principle.

since cCoven wants Mockra dead, I'm assuming he's the wolf-boy.

SinceI'm an whiny emo adolescent, I think it makes sense for me to become anemo werewolf so that I can howl at the moon and people won't suspect meof being crazy.

so, the plan for tomorrow is to symp the hell out of Mockra and Silanah.

and to get a Galain lynch going.

Telas, on 21 October 2009 - 10:20 PM, said:

SoI pretty much have the option of vigging early and then just playing asymp to last the game, or trying to lay low and see how long I can go.Since I'm not worried about my own faction killing me based upon myrole, I figure the best thing to do is symp the primary opposingfaction to avoid getting killed by them. Of course, I don't want to getkilled by the scum factions, so that's always a danger, but as a rulevocal players tend to get lynched more often than killed. So it's anodds play.

I talked to my wife about the books since she's readthem a billion times and got a lot of good info. I also re-read how yousaid each faction is unique so it's not likely that Queleti will mirrormy faction. She wasn't really sure who else may be one of the Queleti(she says they aren't even werewolves, they are shapeshifters), butJacob is definitely going to be tough/strong (BP and/or vig) and hisdad Billy is a cripple with only 'wisdom' which probably means somekind of finding power or something. Jacob is the faction leader andEdward is ours.

Edward can read people's minds so I have toassume he's a finder of sorts and I'm hoping I can grab a find from himto ID me. I also have to assume he can recruit Bella if he 'finds' her.Carlisle I'm really not sure about. He's the 'doctor' at the hospital,so maybe he can treat the wounded, which would be excellent for myfaction if that can happen to us. If not, he could be some kind ofrecruiter since he's the head of the house.

She didn't give meany evil vampire names but 2-3 is a good guess for their numbers. Iknow there's that 'tracker' guy in the movie and the other 'leader' guyas well as some chick.

She had no idea what the Coven was, so that must be a D'rek invention.

Rightnow, I'm leaning toward using a vig before today ends just to see whatkind of reaction I get. WCS I hit Carlisle or Bella, but even Bellaisn't a HORRIBLE tragedy since she's just as useful to other factions.BCS I hit a scum.

The second vig I'd probably keep as an ace inthe hole later on, and I'm heavily contemplating doing that for tonightjust to see if I live. See, if I can get a gauge on how many playerswill be dying per cycle, I can potentially use the vigs to ward off alynch against me or Edward.

OK, back to the game.

Wowza that's a lot of writing, you've certainly got the mafia mindset going on!

All your speculation sounds good, though I won't comment on its accuracy.

Luckyfor you, no admins are playing so if the person you vig day 1 getsreally mad there won't be consequences (Silencer is known to throwtantrums when he dies day 1, locking the game thread, etc.)!

YeahI'd probably be pretty bummed to get killed off in the first day. Icould just kill someone who hasn't posted yet just to be a D-Bag, butthat's not very nice. And I really need more information if I'm goingto vig early.

I basically called out my own faction as the mostdangerous on thread, so I know the clock is ticking and if we only have2 vigs in our whole team, we are in big danger later from a revealfest. Which means I need to crack the Wikipedia and find a moderatelyobscure Forks resident to claim later. Preferably one that might beable to kill people .

Well wikipedia was my main source for this, so go for it!

more from him a little later:

Telas, on 21 October 2009 - 10:46 PM, said:

Also I'm really carefully rereading all of the intro and wanted to comment on a few things...

Quote

Whena player dies, their player user-name and alt will always berevealed.The remaining three bits of information - character name,species,faction - are revealed dependent on the availability ofcertainprofessions within the town. Additionally, some players haveunique DFsand will always have certain information revealed (or notrevealed),regardless of the professions.

Meaning the town has 3 roles that reveal this info and probably don't do much else.

Quote

1.
2. Guard (all kinds)
3. Heal (standard type)
4. Spirit Quest
5. Switch, Vig(standard type)
6.
7. Find (standard type)
8. Drunken Vig
9. Kill
10.

Sinceyou intentionally omitted a few for fun, I get to speculate. The topaction has to be the most important and probably means it's somethingBella can do when she's recruited since she's supposed to be superpowerful when she is turned into a vampire later (also, kind ofinteresting you included her daughter as a character since the booksare a hodgepodge, and I have no idea what faction her daughter would beif not a Vampire...)

Spirit Quest has to be a Queleti thing.Maybe someone (Billy) makes members of the Queleti go on Spirit Queststo make them into shapeshifters and unlock their powers. This probablymakes them a slightly larger faction (4-6?) and probably means it willbe done on Jacob first if he doesn't start uber.

Switch soundslike good old 'Bus Driver' where you get to swap two people forpurposes of action targets. Gotta be careful there, and probably meansmy kills should never be used during Epilogues, only during days (samegoes for avoiding Guards, if they are night-only).

Drunken Vigsounds fun. Possibly a revenge-style kill or maybe someone can getdrunk and land a kill in anger... maybe they get drunk based on thenumber of deaths the town has sustained so far... hrm I smell a fakerole brewing in my future.

No clue what's in the middle of the list but the last one is probably the recruit action.

OK, that's (again) all for now.

You know what I just realized how much fun it would have been to have been a nonrolled player. I would have symped the shit out of someone just to fuck people up... Sometimes that is a brilliant play (usually when I do it) other times it back fires (see pulling a Khell). Ahhh I miss Khell he was so much fun to play with. I also miss JA, Q21 and a host of others. If I manage to make it to day 4 or 5 then I am going to go all out symping someone. Hopefully someone who has a nice case on them... It will be fun... Now back to boring old doctor/finder/ yawn..... [img]http://forum.malazanempire.com/public/style_emoticons/default/:).gif[/img]

It might take me a couple of days but I might be able to fuck shit up even more then doing that....

I could always reveal who I am. Most every team should want to keep me alive as I can heal their wounds during the day. I will not be forming a loving bond while I have my healing power.

Am I suppose to send my thoughts to the other mod guy???? If so tough shit. [img]http://forum.malazanempire.com/public/style_emoticons/default/;).gif[/img]

Well I'm always a fan of being roleless inno, this looks like it pretty much fits the bill.
And if I play my cards right I can find out who all the Werewolves are - have them watch my back during the day and not kill me at nights. Then reveal the whole group at once turning me saviour of the town and hero to all when the time is right.
Well thats the plan anyway.
