I don't remember if any of you were in the first SE game I played, LG104, that was my nickname.

No one ever called me that again. I think Terrisman started it. 

That game was really fun. Probably my favorite thus far.

Hi, I keep seeing this in signature blocks so I figured I might as well follow the link, how does this work?

Hello! I suggest you check out our Welcome Thread for how to get started. If you decide to play, you should also skim  through the Rules and Etiquette Thread before the game fully starts. I or the GM would be happy to answer any questions you have beyond what you can find there!

My favorite was QF75, but that was probably because I played really well that game (and survived).

Hi!

I found it the same way, and trust me, it's awesome

Have you ever played Mafia? It's kinda like that, just online. Some of the players will be chosen as "eliminators", while everyone else is just the standard "village". The eliminators keep their identities secret, and every round, the players vote on one person to take out from the game who they think is an elim. After they vote, the elims pick one person from the village to kill. As the rounds progress, the number of players slowly goes down until either there are no elims left (village wins) or the elims outnumber the village (elims win).

That's the basics; beyond that, each game generally has its own modifications to the rules, which you can find in the introductory post. A lot of people like to roleplay during the game, but it isn't necessary. Other than that, I suggest following @Araris Valerian's advice and checking out the base threads if you're interested.

[KaladinsSenseOfHumourSpren He/Him]

Hmm...

Oh, I know!
 

I'm playing the Returned Starseeker, who is interested in becoming Radiant so he can use Stormlight instead of Breaths. to stay alive.

He also does believe in upholding justice in the worlds.

 

11 AM rollover. Well, I'll be at school most days. Not an ideal time...

Ooooh, cool. I have played mafia (a lot, actually). Best game I've played was when the first mafia convinced us all that he was the detective so there were like 2 other people left out of 15 original when he was voted out (the detective didn't say she was the detective for some unknown reason). I also may or may not have quoted epigraphs from stormlight while I was "being a ghost" during another game that week. (we had a rule that if you were dead, you could walk around and whisper in people's ears and stuff at "night", as long as you didn't say anything game relevant)

[Askthepizzagal He/him]

I will join as Greebas Obdilaurd.

He is kind of a crazy looking hermit. A bit like Radagast from the Hobbit movies. Unkempt, long, wizened beard. Long bony fingers, several missing teeth. Smells a bit like a wet, dirty sheep or goat. Might have been a scholar of some sort before he went crazy, as he is always consulting his scrolls and scribbling down things and muttering to himself about things no one else is interested in. Spends a lot of time talking to himself in the third person, and arguing with himself like an old married couple.

You're the one that's like the mafia connoisseur, right?

QF76 - Judgement on the Shores of the Purelake

Hello! Welcome! You and your companions have been selected to become Skybreakers at the Purelake, although your first task awaits you. The Skybreakers have done serious background investigation into all of you and they have found that some of you are guilty of assorted crimes, some minor, some more serious than others. Your first task is simple: can you find those who hide from the eyes of the law, and will you deliver justice?

~

I’m Aeoryi, and I’ll be your GM for this game. @Araris Valerian will be your IM. This game is scheduled to start on Wednesday, August 6th 9:00 PM ET. Cycles are 24 hours in length, so rollovers happen at 9:00 PM ET. The game requires at least eight players to run. 

Rules can be found using the link here, or in the spoiler below:

Rules:

  Reveal hidden contents

QF76 - Judgement on the Shores of the Purelake

General Rules:

Day and night are combined into one cycle. This cycle is 24 hours in length. 

Each cycle, there is a majority execution. The player with the most votes is eliminated. Ties are broken by randomly killing a player within that tie. 

Voting is to be done in Bolded Red, unvoting to be done in Bolded Green. Votes which are not bolded may be missed by the GM and votes which are not in color are not counted.

Inactivity Filter: 2 Cycles (48 hours). I will remind you if you forget to post, but if you don't post for two consecutive cycles, I will replace you with a pinch-hitter (if available) or you may be removed from the game. Please ensure that you contact me or the IM in advance if you are unsure if you are able to meet this activity requirement.

Alignments:

Evildoers: Those who must be completely eradicated for the group to move on. They share factional communication (as all people who commit petty crimes do) and a factional kill to er, disqualify a person each cycle. 

Justice Seekers: Those who are innocent and seek justice and follow the ways of the Skybreakers shall be tested. They have no extra information, and their only advantage is their number. If the number of justice seekers and evildoers is ever the same, the task (and their success in the game) is over. Just to be a little extra harsh, should you fail, the evildoers will all be released as an “incentive” to do well.

(Evildoers win at parity with non-evildoers, and are the standard eliminator faction. Justice seekers win when all evildoers are eliminated)

Roles:

Roles in blue are exclusive to the Justice Seeker faction, roles in red are exclusive to the evildoers faction.

Thinker

Up to X times per game, may target a player to learn who they visited on that cycle. If the thinker discovers that their target did target another player, they are given an extra usage of their first ability that they must use on the next cycle. Any additional usages will not have this returning capability.

Protector

Up to X times per game, may target any player to protect them from being killed. A protector may not protect themselves or any other player who has the Protector role.

Leader

Up to X times per game, may target any player to prevent them from making any actions. A leader may not be roleblocked by another leader.

Innocent

Has no special abilities

Thief

Up to X times per game, the Thief may target any player to prevent them from making any actions on that cycle.

Murderer

Up to X times per game, the Murderer may carry the factional kill to make it unblockable.

Conspirator

Up to X times per game, the Conspirator may remove one player’s vote. 

Liar

Up to X times per game, the Liar may target any player to prevent them from being targeted by all abilities for that cycle.

Mastermind

Up to X times per game, the Mastermind may target a player to learn who targeted that player. The Mastermind cannot be seen targeting another player by the Thinker.

 

Discrepancy Rules:

  Reveal hidden contents

Discrepancy Rules:

• Every player can have only one role and one alignment.
• Every player can have only one role and one alignment.

• Players may only use one role action per cycle.*

• Players who are eliminated will still have their actions that cycle take effect. 

• Players do not receive action success feedback with the exception of the Mastermind/Thinker roles.

• Protected players will still die from execution.

• Vote manipulation appears only on the final votecount. Note that only the numbers of votes are adjusted.

• Survivals are not announced, although kills are differentiated. (Between execution and factional kill)

• Charges have to be used on separate cycles.

• Usages typically denoted by “X” are not universal and can be different for different players. 

• Evildoers can use the factional kill in addition to their one role action per cycle (so yes, they can carry both).

• The evildoer who submits the kill action functionally uses it as an action, meaning it can be Roleblocked by a Leader or seen by a Thinker

• Charges still are used if a role attempts to use an action and it fails.

• Order of Operations is: Murderer, Liar, Thief/Leader, Conspirator, Protector, Thinker, Mastermind, All deaths.

• Every role is capable of self targeting except for Protectors.

Legends say the skies are filled with floofy canines with wings. They often flock together, and it makes it appear as though there are clouds in the sky.

Alternatively, the dog from Up is the true updog.

My character hates the Law. And Taxes.

CD will actively do things purely for the reason that they are illegal.

He will have a knife in his hand, see someone standing there, and think "murder is illegal"

And um... You see where that would go.
