Popular Post Droughtbringer Posted November 10, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 Opening Scene: Ash falls from the sky, while the Sliver of Infinity rules with an iron fist. He has stamped out all that opposes him, dousing any flames of rebellion. The Nobles dance while The Skaa die, just outside of their Ballrooms. Many are either happy with this life, or resigned to it. But there are a few trying to gather support, trying to becoming the fire that will burn down the system. Rules: Welcome to Long Game 40, this game is based off of the Naming/Open Ended mechanic of LG18 and 33. Essentially there are no set actions that you can take, if you can justify it then it is possible. GM discretion exists. This will be a faction game, each faction being one of the Great Houses of Luthadel. You are competing against the other Great Houses to earn favor in the eyes of The Lord Ruler. The struggle has been going on for years. But something new has happened, a thought to be member of a Great House was revealed to be a Skaa Rebel infiltrating the house. The Nobles, of course, are outraged at this, and demand that the rest of the Skaa that have infiltrated the ranks of the Nobles be found, and so the manhunt begins… The game will end when either the Rebels have been wiped out by the Nobles, if the Rebels gain the support that they need, or if the Rebels outnumber the Nobles. If the Rebels are wiped out the Great House with the most Favor wins the game. The ways you can earn Favor listed below: Killing an Eliminator outside of the Lynch - 15 Starting a successful lynch on an Eliminator - 5 Participating in an Eliminator Lynch - 1 Posting at least 2 posts of 200 words each of RP in one round - 5 Posting at least 2 posts of 200 words each of Strategy/Planning in one round - 5 Attending a Noble Ball - 5 At the start of the game each house will get together and decide what their house will focus on. The focus of any given house allows one member of the house to take one action based off of the focus chosen each cycle. This action must be approved by the GMs. Foci: Weapons Subterfuge Travel Metal Crops Hazekillers Soldiers Other (GM approval required) Some players will recieve a role as a Misting. A Misting may burn whatever metal is assigned to them once a Cycle. The actions taken by burning a metal may be anything so long as it can be justified, and the GMs approve. Generally speaking the metals will follow the below: Pewter: Defense, Extra LifeTin: Spy, PM CreationIron: Move, Protect,Steel: Move, Attack.Copper: Hide, Prevent EmotionalBronze: KnowledgeBrass: Manipulate (Suppressive)Zinc: Manipulate (Active)Gold: Past infoAtium: Unblockable Attack, Protect, Unblockable Action Example: Aonar is a really creative Steel Misting/Coinshot. He decides that he wants to do something that no one expected and decides to run away. He uses his Steel action to run away from everyone, and prevent all kills from hitting him. The GMs say that he can do that, but that there is a 25% chance that he will not be back in time to earn Favour, or participate in the lynch next cycle. There may or may not be secret roles. Probably not, unless I am lying Each night every house may send someone (and only one person) to a Noble Ball. When a player is sent to a Noble Ball they are put into a group PM with the other players that are sent to the Ball, and can not talk in the main thread, but can talk to their house in their doc. A player participating in a Noble Ball may still take actions, but they can only target other players at the Ball, while players outside of the Ball can not target those at the Ball. During a Ball the player's’ RP and Strategy posts will still count towards Favour. The Rebels have two possible win conditions, either outnumber the remaining villagers, or achieve enough Skaa Support to start a Rebellion. To start a Rebellion the Rebels require (Number of Villagers)*(25) = Support. The Rebels can gain support in the following ways: Kill a Noble outside of the lynch - 15 Posting at least 2 posts of 200 words each of RP in one round - 5 Posting at least 2 posts of 200 words each of Strategy/Planning in one round - 5 PMs are open, and require Aonar, Orlok, and me to be in them. Aonar will be helping GM this game, while Orlok will be the IM. If there are any questions ask below. Player List: Spoiler 1. Variel - StrikerEZ 2. Dorvan Tekiel - Randuir 3.

Shqueeves Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 On one hand, this sounds like a blast. On the other, I have a habit of going inactive and don't want to let my team down. I'm going to have to think on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrikerEZ Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 Variel was a strange nobleman. He was very susperstitious, though also very loyal to The Lord Ruler. He always made sure to keep his 32 best suits in pristine condition, and made sure to wear them in a cycle so that he'd only ever wear one of his suits in any given month. He always had to adjust his glasses so that they were balanced on his nose perfectly, and he always kept a pocket watch in his left suit pocket, never his right. He was yet to be married, which was slightly uncommon for his age, and he didn't quite seem to care about producing an heir anyway; he spent most of his time dealing with house business or studying in the libraries. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Araris Valerian Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 When does this game start? Also, do all Nobles not in the House with the most favor Lose to the same extent that the Skaa Lose? I guess what I'm getting at is: Is this supposed to be a Faction Game? Losing a player C1 is -10 points/cycle, which seems hard to overcome after even 1 or 2 cycles, at which point the only possibility for those players to win is to kill other villagers.

Anyway, I'd been thinking about a mechanic similar to this game for a Mistborn faction game, so I'll definitely sign up for this one, as Dorvan Tekiel.

Darkness Ascendant Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 Jax sat on the side of his bed, slowly tracing an ornate knife from the tip of his index finger down to the bridge between it and his thumb. House Lekal was in uproar and he had barely gotten any sleep during the past fretful nights. And of course, the moment he got a chance, he found that he couldn’t fall into slumber’s sweet embrace. He sighed in annoyance, he knew his own hand within the machinations among the Great Houses. His actions, which now filled him with great regret and annoyance, he knew had been necessary to kick the Houses into frenzied action, distracting them from the Lord Ruler’s own secret plans. Of course, in the end, he had been acting out of his own volition and agenda, the “Sliver of Infinity”, as they called him, merely trod on one of the paths to his destination. He watched the light glint and flicker off the aluminium blade, the light flaring every so often, hurting the back of his eyes. Jax set down the blade next to the candle on the dresser and rubbed his eyes. He was quite exhausted from the wild goose chase the nobles had gone on, searching for alleged skaa infiltrators within their own Houses. He smiled at this, there was far more to this than anyone within the upper class knew, and if there was one thing Jax liked, it was information, information which he controlled and nobody it concerned had access to. He stretched and got up, pacing around the room restlessly in an attempt to burn the energy which unfortunately coursed through him. He wondered how long the skaa had to have been infiltrated undercover to have seamlessly integrated within the noble society and go unnoticed for so long. Rust, if his suspicions were correct, then the “Skaa infiltrator”, was a man planted by the Lord Ruler himself to serve as a distraction. He rubbed his eyes once more and cursed for the fourth time that day that his room did not have a window.

DrakeMarshall Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 This game looks fascinating... I've been meaning to sign up. I promise a reasonable level of activity, if not perhaps my normal standards. I shall sign up as Belmark Entrone. Belmark is a personable minor noble, recently arrived from House Entrone's homeland within the northern dominance. He has a reputation that is entirely too spotless.
