  1. As mentioned, I've been toying for a couple years with the idea of a Bladerunner game (thanks, Bladerunner 2049!) and then the idea came back to me when looking up old SE games last year or so and remembering the utter chaos that came with LG8. This game takes a base Tyrian Falls ruleset (alright, not quite base Tyrian Falls - I'm using a combination of base Tyrian and Wyrm's refinements in LG17) and tries to salvage the kandra rules from LG8. Without further ado: LGXX: Do Kandra Dream of Electric Sparrows? “And blood-black nothingness began to spin A system of cells interlinked within Cells interlinked within cells interlinked Within one stem. And dreadfully distinct Against the dark, a tall white fountain played.” —Pale Fire, Vladimir Nabokov As Scadrial marches on into the neon-washed reaches of the far future, Heron IndustriesTM is one of the megacorporations at the forefront of innovation, driving technological progress through its extensive R&D investments, and combining engineering with Hemalurgic science to usher in a new era of wonders and prosperity. ...For some. This, however, might be about to change for you. A representative from Heron IndustriesTM has been sighted lurking around the Electric Sparrow, putting out word that she has a job for a skilled Mistrunner crew. This, you hear, is the score: the big one. Heron IndustriesTM has never been stingy in compensating the mercenaries it hires, and for all the times you’ve run the mists, there might never be such an opportunity again. All you need to do is to penetrate a secure installation under lockdown, deal with a containment breach, and the boxings will be wired to your account. The risks are high, but the rewards are greater still. What could possibly go wrong? General Rules: Win Conditions: Roles: Taken House Rules: Thoughts/Comments:
  2. Can confirm, he has a selfie with it and I dedicated a tag to him the day he got it since I happened to be GMing Bro, you had one job >> As, apparently, did I, OTL Me, before taking a nap: "I should be up in time, I have a report due at around 3AM, Wyrm's got this, and the votes are stable and I've pre-written the write-up." Y'all:
  3. I've never counted MR9 or LG20 on my personal tally because I barely lasted a cycle or two before having to get subbed out and abandoning the team. Granted, RL reasons for both, but I still feel substantial guilt over them and they form part of the reason I generally tried not to sign up for games anymore if I doubted I could put in basic commitment. But of course now I'm retired.
  4. Wow, so many smart-arses in this thread today, but you have my upvote >> Tfw you're the GM and even you forget people want to get voted on in this game >> ...I can think of at least three things Wyrm would say but he's sleeping or should be, so I shall triumphantly leave the thread without having to deal with that disrespect.
  5. Hi all, Wyrm has gone to sleep now, or should be sleeping (IDK he's not very good at the actually sleeping bit, but nobody's perfect I guess.) Anyway, in more relevant news, this is a GM Announcement. @Illwei has requested for a pinch-hitter and @Mist has kindly agreed to sub in for her. Please be kind, and please don't C1 her off the - wait, what am I saying, right, just please be kind >>
  6. I like Tyrian and we've run enough Tyrian games to have a basic idea of how the parameters work. I'm trying to fix the LG8 kandra rules so there's no reason I want to run straight into a hot mess by having a more complex underlying base game
  7. Haven't explicitly said so, but I believe I'm currently #15 on the LG waitlist. That game, I'd like to apply to run as an Anonymous Game for reasons that will become clear once I'm able to post the ruleset for comments and suggestions. Edit: If it's a more helpful demarcation, it'd be my Bladerunner reskin, doesn't need a non-Sanderson pass, with Tyrian base rules (probably, I took inspiration from Wyrm's LG17 Heronfall game too) and LG8's reworked kandra rules.
  8. Cycle Three: 10th Doxil, 237 Elandera was elected to the Inner Circle! She was aligned with the Loyalists! Striker has been elected Worker Leader! The cycle has begun, and will end at 2300hrs (GMT+8) on Thursday, 1st July! My thanks to @|TJ|, @Fifth Scholar for write-up content. Credit to @Wyrmhero and Amazon but no thanks due as I'm not sure I'm really grateful to discover that I exist apparently as a cheese grater in his kitchen drawer :/
  9. Reminder that you have slightly under an hour left. Get those votes and orders in! Edit: This reminder and the subsequent rollover was - thanks to a retained user manual - brought to you by your GM rather than @Wyrmhero. Note to any of you using a WD MyBook Live to backup your data: get that thing unplugged ASAP from the Internet. There's an ongoing malicious cyberattack based off an unpatched (thanks, end of support!) vulnerability discovered in 2018, and if your data isn't already wiped, you don't want it to be. Stay cybersafe out there.
  10. Here's the illustration of how Extortion works: No one is Worker Leader during Cycle One because the game does not start with a Worker Leader. Ren is elected Worker Leader by a majority of four votes in Cycle One. Wyrm, one of the Elims, sends in an order to Extort Kas. This means that Kas cannot be voted Worker Leader in Cycle Two. In Cycle Two, Ren is Worker Leader and has a double vote where the Inner Circle is concerned. Meanwhile, voting for the Worker Leader continues. Now, Kas should - by right - become Worker Leader due to having three votes. However, because of the Extortion (thanks Wyrm!), the Worker Leader position will pass to the player with the next highest number of votes: Wyrm, with two votes. In Cycle Three, Wyrm is thus Worker Leader. A little over twenty hours.
  11. Absolutely You already qualify as you've made one post this cycle. Election statement is in the event you get elected; otherwise, an advertisement, op-ed, stuff for the classifieds section, that's fair game though I retain the right to refuse anything too game relevant (e.g. Tineye/Watchman/Informant trying to use this to signal.) Just drop it in your GM PM.
  12. Shh, I have a co-GM and I feel like you just gave him an opening >> Also, reminder to all players: first, don't forget about your election statement! Send those in earlier, if you can. And as long as you have made one post, you are eligible to submit other write-up content, like ads, op-eds, and so on These should also be sent in before rollover.
