Be Excellent To Each Other

Inspired by the cottage, anyone fancy a game? It's been a few months.

The game is LazyScum.

The rules and roles are as follows:


That's right, nothing so far...
This is a game where the players decide what they will be.

If you want to play, you need to provide the following:

Character Name
Short description
Night power (if any)
Passive characteristics (if any)
Affectations (if any)
Anything else you want to add


A few rules and guidelines.

The night power can only affect one person. i.e. you can have a protect power that stops one person being killed overnight. You cannot have a protect power that stops everyone being killed overnight.
You can only have an overnight kill power if I have pm'ed you and said you can.
You can only have one night power.
Passive characteristics are effects that will happen in either the night or day phase. i.e. maybe you are a revengeful bastard, and will always vote for the last person that voted for you, or maybe you are a sleeper agent and as soon as someone says a particular word, you wake up during the night and swap allegiances, etc...
Passive characteristics cannot kill anyone, bobby.
You can have multiple passive characteristics if you want, but they cannot be contradictory.
You cannot have a passive characteristic that stops you being lynched or killed overnight.
Affectations are something that your character does or is, and you have to abide by, but don't directly affect the game outcome. i.e. Speaks in a French accent

I will decide your win condition and allegiance, and I will decide who has a kill role. I will tell each of you this information after we have a list of players and before the game starts, so you have time to work them into your character description if you like. However the mafia (and any other groups) will not know who else is in their group and what powers they have until the game starts.

There will be at least two groups to start with, mafia and town. There maybe more throughout the game, depending on the roles you write, that is up to you.

The roles and rules will be posted in a rules thread. The character name, description and night power will be public information from the start. Everything else will be private until it is revealed by either death, or an appropriate game action.

I reserve the right to veto or amend any roles, to keep the game as fair as possible, but i'll try not to.

One last thing. The role you write may, or may not be the role you get, so keep that in mind...

Oh, and in spirit with the name of the game, i'm not planning to try and rush this game through, each "day" will last for 48 hours or so to start with, so if you can only post during the day or during the evening, then everyone should still get the chance to be involved. I would ask that if you sign up, you do intend to take an active role and participate as much as you can. It's only fun if you talk

In. When do you need the roles by?

No rush, I doubt it will start till next monday, to give people a chance to think of a role and then modify it if need be after the full player list is collected and the kill roles and allegiances are allocated.

Perfect, thank you.

In... I will put my roll together later

In like a summer breeze blowing away a winter storm

In!

I really don't care about your gymnastics class.

Have you considered using Town of Salem for real-time online mafiascum?

Didn't even know about it! That looks pretty awesome, not sure how likely it would be to get us all online at the same time though...

In.

Can I have a passive that when I am killed I explode a nuke the town?

a. Was that an in?
b. No

Bumbling

In!

In.

Ok, IN.

Anyone else?

Bobby? are you in?

Yeah, of you need me, but I may not be able to post too much.

I want to be in, but I'm too lazy to write a role for myself And probably can't post much during the day any way.

For anyone else like this let me write you a role :

Character Name : Gazchap the Townie
Short description : A plain vanilla townie
Night power (if any) : None
Passive characteristics (if any) : None
Affectations (if any) : Town
Anything else you want to add : No

I'm ok with vanilla townies being added as roles if you can't be arsed to think of one.

Zaphod, I'm assuming you are in, even though you haven't actually said in yet

Oh, and like I said, the days will be long, so there will be plenty of time to post during the evening. I think part of the reason for the games running out of steam on here lately have been the push to always be talking and taking part at all time. Let's try a different tack and be more relaxed this time and let it run for longer. More of a background activity rather than a constant thing.

I'm in, and yes, I will write a proper role

Sorry - yes I'm in :-)

I'll close the playerlist tonight and send out the alliegances and kill roles, so last chance to sign up today

In.

when do I need to have made up my role by?

Role sent..

I'll start it on Monday, so Sunday night.

Looks like you need the numbers, so ok.

Althoigh I may not be overly verbose.

Thank fuck

Check your messages folks, if you do not have a message from me, then your allegiance is Town and you do not have a kill role.

Roles to me by Sunday night please

Can I have admin access to the mafia forum please modulators.

Don't forget your roles, people

Am I too late?

No, you can town.

Oops.

Not at all, I'll add you to the player list. I'll message you with your allegiance and whether you have a kill role.

Yes yes, FFS. Curio in 5..4...3

Oooh, role! Will do.

<cough>

Did you get mine?

Aye

How many are left over? I'll write another one if you like.

Not sure, I'll add up tomorrow morning and see and give a shout if I need more roles

Done one.

A couple of stragglers left, but we should be good to go tomorrow.

Turns out a good reason for this being a slow game, is how the fuck i'm going to work out what happens overnight This is going to be "interesting" for sure! At least you can't blame me when you can't work out what the fuck is going on

oh, and...

Done ages ago!
