Be Excellent To Each Other

UNScum

The world is in chaos, wars are everywhere, even Paul McCartney is having no luck calming the situation with a game of footy…

The UN gets together to talk things through, but the situation is so incendiary, that everyone has come in disguise!
We must stop this madness, anybody who can't be trusted will have to be voted off the council and play no more part in any UN decisions...

General Rules
1) Country leaders are in charge and ultimately make the decisions.
2) If a leader of a country is voted out or killed, he will be replaced by another member of the country, decided by the country.
3) Countries members can only privately communicate amongst themselves, apart from the Swiss, as they are all sitting in their bunkers, on their stacks of gold, holding their rifles, and individually won't talk to anyone.

I farts in your gen-e-ral directionne, monsieur!

France will become a member state of the first country that attacks the French President, and that attack will fail, be it an invasion or assassination. France takes on the attacking countries win condition and can communicate with the country members. France as a country no longer exists.

Win condition : Stay alive

Actions
Run : Will roleblock any action taken on any French player (can only be used once)



Neutralists

Switzerland
Councillors (0-?)

Gold? Check.
Gun? Check.
Bunker? Check.
Smug sense of superiority? Check.

Win condition : Expel all Infidels and Warmongerers from the UN



Action Order
Vote fix - Roleblocks - Investigating - Kill

Just to make things expressly clear at the start.

Communications of actions to the town and individuals:
Invade: Individuals will not be told, the town will obviously find out the next morning.
Fix vote: Nobody will be told, but it should be pretty obvious the next day if it was successful!
Assassinate: Individuals will not be told, the town will obviously find out the next morning.
IED: Individuals will not be told, the town will obviously find out the next morning if the IED was successful.
Investigate : Investigator will be told if there was an IED and the win condition, the investigated will not be told.
Defend : The defended will be told they have been defended.
Shmoke: The smoker will know they got high.
Run : attackers against the runner will not be told why their attack failed
Roleblocks in general : the attacker will not know why their action failed.

You do not need the apostrophe in the win condition where it says "one's".

If that's the only mistake I made, then yay!

Oh, and I should mention, all countries essentially work as if they are mafia, i.e. one leader who can choose who to do the action, or do it themselves.

Osama was a Saudi, not an Afghan.

Will the schmoke prevent a player being killed by an IED?

Yes, as you need to target someone to be killed by the IED, schmoke will stop that player targeting anyone with anything.

For the sake of making it a winnable game by the non aggressors, if a member gets killed, then that won't affect their win condition so

Expel all Infidels and Warmongerers from the UN

Should really be

Ensure that there are no Infidels or Warmongerers left in the UN

I may have asked the wrong thing, for I am a fool. What about the other way round? Can the schmoke target deploy an IED? If not, do they get to use it another time instead?

Not likely to happen, but still.

Ah, that makes more sense

The Shmoke target cannot deploy an IED for they are roleblocked from performing any actions, they will be able to use it again.

Well, this seems less complicated than ScumWars.

I think.

Some additional comments and clarifications as re-reading and thinking has brought some questions to mind.

To make it easier to understand, the countries all basically act like their own individual mafia, except for the Swiss, who are the townies of the game.

Because the win conditions overlap somewhat, win conditions can only be met by live or participating members, anyone who is dead or voted off before they have met their win condition automatically loses, regardless of how the game continues...

They are, however, allied with the Dutch and Germans.

True, but much in the same way the townies are allied with the doc in a traditional game.

This seems a bit off. In normal games the Townies and their allies live and die by having enough numbers to have the herd thinned, but gain info as this happens, and they win or lose as one. Having the Townies hold no allegiance to one another means they are not, in fact, a real team.

Ditto the various factions - the various team-mates are in some way opposed to one another. If a faction chap voted for another faction chap to 'maintain cover', the person 'on the block' might as well expose his 'team-mate' as being in a faction, causing them to be attacked instead, since 'taking one for the team' would not benefit them.

I feel I have overused 'these'.

Hmmm... it's either that or have the Americans/British/Afghans win if the Dutch/Germans or Swiss win, which doesn't seem fair, but maybe that's the way it should be.
I'm open to suggestions, it's early enough in the game for the win conditions to not matter too much at the moment, so I think they can be adjusted.

Fuck it, win conditions stay as they are, ignore the comment about only being met by surviving members, if you meet your win condition you win regardless.
However, a win if you are still alive and in the UN will take precedent over a win if you are dead or voted out.

Just have "British/Yanks win if the infidels are evicted andthere are any Warmongers left in at the end".

But that leaves me with the same problem as before, it then become less about the warmongerers hunting out the infidels and more about them being against everyone, which wasn't the intention.

Warmongerers/Infidels outlast their opposite faction by X turns? Or get X kills?

It's a tricky one.

I know you all ribbed me for running short days but I reckon 37.5 hrs is a bit long during the week.

Personally, I think the evening finishes are playing havoc with the game, even though the majority voted for it, no bugger seems to want to talk during the day as there is no pressure, and no bugger is talking in the evening either...

I think there has to be both a daytime and an evening in each "day", and I think lunchtime finishes work better as ironically people have more time to post then they are at work, in the main

I'm aware of that post, mr minority.

Stop posting in this thread and start posting in the game thread anyway!

Day 5, says that Joans has posted the last post, but when I go to page 2 of day 5 it says the last post is mine! What's going on?

Malc

See my comments in the day thread, I posted and it vanished.

Very weird, I can categorically state that I had nothing to do with it!

Probably those moderator spies.
