Metacognition Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Ah, Urteau; your home. Sure, things haven't been the same since the Lord Ruler died, but ever since Straff Venture went off to conquer Luthadel, your thieving crew has thrived. Where once you were just a no named crew, barely surviving in the Harrows, now people call you Kalling's Crew. Named after the ashmount nearest to the city, you've blanketed the town in crime sprees and cons. Recently, your leader, Modeft has called the crew together for a new job. He's calling it the heist of a life time and he may be right. It may cost all of you your lives if the Inquisitors catch wind of it.... The Roles Similar to the first game, there will be the 9 typical roles. Where this game is different is that there is only one evil role, The Inquisitor. THUG: They can survive a single attack. If they are killed during a night or day cycle, they survive and this will be revealed in the write up. If they are attacked again, they die… finally. TINEYE: They are messengers and are capable of writing messages to the town while remaining anonymous. Each night, they can send a message to the Game Master. He will then post it within the write up at the end of the night. As long as the Tineye is alive, players can send Private Messages back and forth. Once he dies, he can no longer deliver messages, so no more PMs. SMOKER: The Smoker is undetectable and he can extend this power to one other person each night. If scanned by a Seeker, the smoker or the person encompassed within his coppercloud will show up as nothing. Alternatively, the Smoker can turn his coppercloud off. This would allow them to be scanned. In addition to being undetectable by the Seeker, the Smoker and his target are unaffected by emotional Allomancy. As long as the Smoker is using their coppercloud, the Soother and Rioter cannot change their votes. SEEKER: The Seeker can sense when someone is burning metals. In fact, he/she has gotten so good that they can tell whether someone is spiked or not! Once per night, the Seeker can target someone to learn their abilities and alignment. COINSHOT: The Coinshot does what they do best. They push metals around; specifically into other people’s bodies. Once per night, the Coinshot can target a person for death. Unless otherwise disrupted, that person dies. LURCHER: Where the Coinshot pushes, the Lurcher pulls. Once per night the Lurcher can target someone and that person will be saved from death. SOOTHER: Their ability to dampen emotions puts them and the Rioter in a very special position. During any time during the day round (up until the round ends), they can negate one person’s vote. The change will be anonymous, but since I will be posting voting results at the end of each day, those that are observant should be able to tell whose votes were changed. RIOTER: The Rioter works in a similar fashion as the Soother, except once during the day round they can change one person’s vote. Using this power does nullify their own vote though. They are still capable of voting, but their vote will not be counted. The change itself will be anonymous, but since I will be posting voting results at the end of each day, those that are observant should be able to tell whose votes were changed. MISTBORN: There will only be one Mistborn. They have the abilities of all of the above, but will only be able to use one per cycle. At the beginning of every night, the Mistborn will be told which ability they have and it’s the only ability they have until the next night. UNSNAPPED: You are a Regular Villager, except you have a latent ability hiding inside of you. In the chance that a Misting is converted into a Spiked player, you'll finally recognize your true potential and snap into your allomantic powers. You will inherit the abilities of the converted allomancer, although there is a 25% chance of getting a different one. There is also a 10% chance that you will snap eventually anyways. Every night, the GM will roll to see if you snap. If you do, the power you get will be assigned randomly. REGULAR CREW MEMBER: You have no special powers, but you still get a vote every day. Who knows? Perhaps you were meant to be the one to save the town! Not all stories are about the strongest people in a group. INQUISITOR: Somehow, you've managed to hide amongst the crew. You must have a very good (and very large) pair of sunglasses. Like the Mistborn, there's only one of you, but whenever a Misting dies, you can convert a different player to your side with the role of the dead Misting. You can only do this with the freshly dead though, so the conversion must happen during the very next night turn. To aide you in quest, Ruin has granted you [X] number of special abilities. The number of these abilities will depend on how many players are in the game. To convert another player, you need a dead Misting and one of your Ruin granted abilities. Your target will have a 50% chance to gain the powers of the dead Misting and your Ruin granted power will be used up. The sacrificed power will then be revealed to everyone. If you give up your final Ruin power, you will die. You cannot convert the Mistborn. Cosmetic Roles These are additional roles that players can take on at their own discretion. They do not affect the game play in any way other than to modify how the player posts. If you come up with your own role, feel free to suggest it. There is no penalty for not using one. These are here for your enjoyment, not to be a deterrent. High Imperial - Wasing the wanting of speaking in High Imperial. You must use it at least somewhere in your posts. Note: you do not have to use it for every sentence and you still need to be mostly intelligible. Survivor Priest - Kelsier wasn't just a famous crew leader for you. Perhaps you were in Luthadel during the riots. Perhaps you saw him come back. Regardless, you're a believer and must make reference to the Survivor or the Survivor religion in each post. Drunk - You're never far from a bottle. Heck, sometimes you sleep with one curled in your hands. The reason you drown yourself in alcohol is your own, but within every post, you need to slur some of your words and/or appear to be drunk in some fashion. Cassanova - Good looks are such a curse; one you know all too well. While you didn't ask for it, to you, it's obvious that you are the best looking person ever and you won't let anyone forget it. In every post, you need to remind everyone of what a heartbreaker you are. The Jaist - Somehow, somewhere, you heard about Jaism and knew it to be perfect for you. Now that the Lord Ruler is gone, you've taken up the mantle of this lost religion and in Jaist fashion, you frequently mention your faith. You must end your posts with "Praise the Ja." And that's Game 2! Please state the name of your character (again, please keep it somewhat close to your username) and your role in the crew! I'd like to get around 25 players for this game, but we'll see how many sign up and I'll adjust accordingly. Once I have an idea of how many players I'll have, I may or may not give out the exact number of each role in the game. I will tell you if a role is absent from the game though. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to ask either here or in a PM! Let the Chaos begin! The Players 1. Gamma Fiend- Gamon (Casanova Spiked Soother 2.

Gamma Fiend Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) I'll go ahead and introduce myself.They call me Gamon. I'm told the name means 'one who enjoys playing games'. But the games I play are with ladies hearts. As a regular old, cassanova, my good looks are always make me the center of attention of all ladies, much to the chagrin of my male peers.I can't help it, it's just how I am. Edit: Adding in snapping is awesome, great new twist! Edited January 25, 2014 by Gamma Fiend 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartbug Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) Uh... hi. I would like to play, as well, but if there gets to be a lot of people and space is needed, I am absolutely happy to step out. My name is uh, Barty Spiked.. I am incredibly paranoid, schizophrenic, and a compulsive liar. I am absolutely not Spiked. Right? This is going to be interesting, considering how I am a compulsive liar and hear voices in my head. Can my voices speak, too? Also: Do you know if you're an unsnapped versus a regular villager? Edited January 25, 2014 by bartbug 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesomeness Summoned Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 I'd like a place on the crew You can call me Wes. I'm the best pickpocket this side of the Seran river.

Swimmingly Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) Good day, sirs and madams, my name is Shimble Leice, and I am a the third son of the second daughter of a minor branch of the Venture house. Moreover, I am fairly certain that my father was half-skaa, though my old lady was noble. As a consequence, sirs and madams, I am rather insecure about my ties to nobility - while at the same time secretly afraid to appear TOO noble, due to the actions of the Survivor and his followers. I compensate by sayin' things like "Sirs and madams" and acting much more eloquent than I am (mixing in slang accidently as a result of my mixing with such unscrupulous elements as your good selves), while dressing ostentatiously, gaudily, and cheaply, sirs and madams. Quirks: "Sirs and madams", "Good day", uses Georgia font, false eloquence mixed with mild slang Features: Walking the line between skaa and noble left Shimble caustic towards both - but when he gets his act together, he can talk on a level to either. A go-between and negotiator, with a penchant for turning the tables to benefit himself as much as his client, he cons and swindles as fast as he swigs cheap whiskey. From a frosted glass, of course. Good day, sirs and madams, and I do wish y'all the very best of luck. Edited January 26, 2014 by Swimmingly 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PorridgeBrick Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) Wow, loving the roles this time around. Hopefully I'll do better this time. I'm Ridge. I do the climbing in the crew. No matter how tall the wall is, how smooth, how heavily guarded, I can get in and let the rest of the crew in. As a result, even my ... peculiarities are tolerated by the rest. You see, I'm always wearing blindfolds. It's not that I'm blind or anything, I'm just not particularly attatched to seeing. Who needs it, after all? Blind people get by just fine, so why not me? And if the radiance of my eyes was shown to the public, all the women would swoon. Sure, Gamon might think he's hot stuff, but I know for a fact that I, and I alone, am the most fabulous guy in this city. The haters disagree, but they're just jealous. But I'm nice, and I'm very careful to handicap myself. Blindfolds, garishly clashing outfits, and overly baggy pants are the only way I can level the playing field. I don't want to make everyone else feel inadequate, after all. If you couldn't tell from that, for this game I am also taking on the role of the cassanova. But instead of being an actual cassanova, I'll be the complete opposite of an actual cassanova, who only thinks he is one. It should add some interesting tension and rivalries, right?

Alvron Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Names Vron. Alchemist by trade, poisoner by choice. I handle the crews metal needs. Deliveries made anonymously to the drop point of your choice. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scriptorian Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 I am called Seran. I was once a slave to the Lord Ruler, trained as an assassin in the Canton of Inquisition. I was a silent weapon employed against both heretic and rebel. Now that I am free, I have joined this crew seeking some slim hope for redemption. Though I have forsaken the assassin's blade, the skills from my former life serve me excellently as scout and infiltrator. Keep my secret well, least you bring the wrath of the Inquisitors down on all of us... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aether Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) Wind Aether, adept of the Church of the Survivor, offers his services for to honour Kelsier's memory. May the survivor offer us plenty of opportunities to compose ever more glorious lists! EDIT: While Aether in some cases is translated as "wind", I think I'll just stick to my user name in order to avoid confusion.

loganmathewjohnson Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) Oh! Wasing the hoping for another game!!! Mathieu, a skaa that fancies himself a noble, but can't lose his eastern street slang, is in. He is NOT Spiked. Good thing too. He doesn't seem to serve a role in the crew, except as an extra body. There's absolutely NO WAY that he is a Mistborn. He is too forgettable. Again, as with Bartbug, I'll be happy to step out if there are others needing to have a shot at this marvelous game!!! Do Aether and Claincy know? EDIT: Posted, then discovered that yes, Aether does know. EDIT II: I've noticed it's Sanderson Elimination now... Maybe a Nalthis, Sel, or Roshar themed one next?

Gamma Fiend Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Oh dear, it seems most of the previous spiked are in. They'll have to dodge some immediate suspicion, haha. (some grudges die hard )But I think it will be nice to have Aether's power of lists fully on our side. (assuming him and I are regulars/good guys)This will be really cool though, with the Inquisitor turning people. This game will get crazy indeed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loganmathewjohnson Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Indeed. I seriously cannot wait. So, being a near-worshipper of Spook, I selected the High Imperial as my Cosmetic Role... But I can just feel that I'll screw it up. Is there a guide/forum that can help??

Metacognition Posted January 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) To answer your question, Bartbug: No, the person/people that are Unsnapped will not know, but if the Seeker scans them, the Seeker will know! Mathieu: I specifically changed it to Sanderson Elimination so that future GMs don't feel like we need to keep it locked to Mistborn. I started there because it was one of the easiest to modify for the game (working with Breaths would just be weird and difficult), but I'm hoping that as time goes on we'll eventually figure out a system for all of Brandon's works! Lots of new faces already! I want to thank you all for joining up! I hope everyone has as much fun as I know I will!

PorridgeBrick Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 I just realized the full potential of the Inquisitor. Even if two roles find each other and establish trust between them, the Inquisitor can convert one later and have the perfect spy. This game will be very crazy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aonar Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Aonar, the crew's self proclaimed expert at "covert entry." An ex hazekiller who was thrown out and nearly executed prior to the skaa rebellion for stealing from his employers, he now uses his talents to break into noble's keeps, and help get the crew past allomancer guards. The changes to the game mechanics look really neat. This is going to be fun. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princess Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 This seems like a lot of fun, especially if the last game is anything to go off of! Do you think I'd be too lost if I joined, even though I haven't read the Mistborn books? I have glanced through the wiki articles about them, so I have a basic idea of what's going on. (Plus, my big mouth sister loves to spoil pretty much anything she reads. Yeah, I already know how books one and two end.) If so, I'd like to be the noble woman Cessie. I am a noble woman who is bored with life. My entire life I have had everything hand to me, often literally on a silver platter. Everything has been decided by "the rules", however my parents recently died while trying to get to the capital, leaving me, as their only child, in charge. At this point I'm torn between breaking every single rule that has been controling my life, or playing it safe and doing exactly what I've always done. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
