Absolutely tennis ace!!

If you dont already know, there is a rule list in the roleplaying and lit society forum. That will show you how to play. Any questions, and we will be here to answer!

My airborne date for this week seems to have fallen through. I'll check and see if I'm still going any time soon, but I'm probably not going to be joining in this game as unique as it sounds.

Of course he can! :D Market is correct, there is a guide in this forum if you really want to know more about the game. However, personally I think the guide is kinda overwhelming and may not help you much in this scenario. It lists a ton of roles from common to rare that simply won't apply, and the ODP thing is old and incorrect now anyway. What you basically need to know is to try to kill off people who are lying about not being Mafia!

And I don't watch Survivor anymore, unfortunately. We totally used to talk about that a bunch, didn't we?

With Tennis and defeat's joining, we now have 14! :D So let me throw out pretty much all the rest of the info I have for you guys.

  • Everyone will have a night role that targets someone. Some roles are your normal Mafia or Detective/Doctor stuff, but many others are pretty much harmless but still have an effect on the game. The real twist that I've invented for this game is that when you PM me at night, you will send me the name of the person to target, as well as the names of 5 other people that are still alive to be used as decoys. When the next day phase starts, I will post everyone's lists. The lists will have your name on it, so everyone will know what six people you chose. However, I'll put everyone's list in alphabetical order, so no one will truly know which of the six people you really targeted that night.

    What this means for you is that strategies will change drastically. Let's say Jackstick dies. SOMEONE with Jackstick on their list is Mafia! So at first glance, Villagers want to avoid selecting people who they think will be nightkilled in their six, while certain Mafia may want to pad their lists with certain people to avoid having any one person singled out. But THIS in turn might change who the Mafia decides to kill at night! Etcetera, etcetera.

    To avoid making things confusing, the short version is this:
    • In addition to your Night action, you send me the names of 5 more people, and these six names will be made public at day start. This is the only rule change. Overthink it or underthink it as much as you wish.
    Now that that long-winded spiel is out of the way, onto the other stuff.
  • It's probably suddenly clear that this game is going to be the most labor-intensive game I've ever hosted. (Especially so because I'm also writing each Role PM separately to avoid problems we've had in the past.) Additionally, I'm moving to college on Sunday and this whole week is me getting ready for the move. Because of all this, the game will probably start on Monday, August 19th (or maybe the day after I'm not sure.) Sorry for the six-day delay now that we have more people, but my life is crazy hectic lately!
  • It's also certain that it will be kinda hard for me to balance this game. I'll figure it all out, but SO MUCH of it will depend on who picks who as their six each night, and how good you guys are at DEDUCTIVE REASONING. Please excuse me if it tips one way or the other, but I'll try my best to make sure that doesn't happen!
  • I'm thinking now that 14 is probably the perfect size for this game, especially since it's never been done before. Consider sign-ups most likely closed.

Any questions or comments are welcome. I'm laying this all out for you now to give you time to think about how your list strategies will impact the game, and also to explain why the game is still six days away.

It'll depend on how the game plays out I think, but my current idea is to cut off that extra rule entirely and let the last 6 people use the previous several days worth of information to continue to make deductions. If I drop it to 3 or 4 people on a list it'll get way too easy to pin people down to their roles.

Then again, with some of the roles I have planned, it might be better to just keep going and they'll obviously have every character in their lists. I guess we'll see what works best!

Jaron is a liar who lies about lying.
