Some time back I pitched the idea of a faction mega-arson game with minimal GM feedback. I finished a draft of the rules today, and am looking for feedback. The game should run with 12 players minimum, and may or may not interact with prime numbers of players poorly. Was also wondering whether people think it would be more fun as an anonymous.

Rules:

  Reveal hidden contents

MR ##: A Reckoning for the Rest

Rumor has it, the Reckoners are in town. Luck has it, so are your enemies. 

 

Welcome to Idaho! MR ##: A Reckoning for the Rest occurs across the state prior to the events of Steelheart. Your faction of Epics seeks to provide the Reckoners with enough information to take down your rivals while you avoid a similar fate.

 

General Rules:

• Cycles are 48 hours long, and are not split.
• Throughout the game players may become Marked, meaning that the Reckoners know their weakness and have a plan to take them down
• There is a majority vote during each cycle, where the player with the most votes is Marked. Tied votes Mark all tied players.
  • A vote count will be posted each cycle but it will not reflect any vote manipulation nor reveal the Marked player(s)
• PMs are closed unless opened with actions.
• Each player* will belong to a faction of 4-5 Epics and will share a doc with the members of their faction
  • *Depending on player counts, some players may be Independent Epics
• When every player in a faction is Marked at the same time, all of those players lose and are removed from the game
• Players win if their faction is the last one remaining

 

Actions:

• Each faction has access to the following actions once each per cycle:
  • Roleblock a player (they will not be notified)
  • Move a vote while canceling your own (will not be reflected in the VC)
  • Mark a player
  • Protect a player from the Mark action (a faction cannot protect the same player twice back-to-back)
  • Redirect a player’s action (cannot redirect other redirects, cancels other redirects on the same target)
  • Scan a player in your faction and a player out of it,  checking if either is Marked
  • Create a PM (can contain any group of players, not necessarily yourself)
• Each player can perform 1 action per cycle

 

Order of Actions:

• PM
• Redirect
• Roleblock
• Protect
• Mark
• Vote manip
• Vote Mark
• Scan

 

Independent Epics:

• Some players may be Independent Epics
• They will not be Marked the first time they would be otherwise
• Each cycle can either take the Mark action, or 3 other actions 
• An Independent Epic wins and leaves the game if they Mark an unMarked player the turn their target’s faction is removed

I've played in a Things game on MU. Though I'm not sure if it would work here.

Note that double posting is discouraged here- if you have anyrhing to add we allow edits in a style that notes the edit

Edit:

This is where you put the addition

Oh whoops.

topposting here is probably in the 40s-50s depending on the type of game

we had one game earlier this year where 5 of us 100posted for a few days but that was...very different lol.

 

Alright noted.

@CRichardThrone Can we call you Throne?

I'm usually called CRich or Rich, though sure if it helps you remember.

Hello, (btw, most people here call me TUO, TUA since my name change) I second what Mat said, most people post once or twice a day, with a decent number only posting once and several posting many times. 

Hmm that's slow compared to where I come from regarding my homesite.

It isn't unusual for top posters to be in the hundreds of posts where I'm at.

I've never had to multitab a game, except to look at the playerlist while making a PM, which won't be a problem this game. I'm also not the most hardcore player, but I think it's relatively uncommon on SE.

Hello Aon. I haven't played on this website before, though I've heard a little bit about how games are run here.

I'm thinking of joining, though I'm a little worried I might be multi tabbing and that's not a good idea where I'm at.

It depends on the format being run. LGs are 48/24, MRs are usually 48, but sometimes 24/24 I think, and QFs are just 24.

Noted.

Proof of why the Golden Ratio is an irrational number.

Golden Ratio = (1 + sqrt 5)/2

We can prove sqrt 5 is irrational.

Lets supposed sqrt 5 is rational, or sqrt 5 = a/b

Square both sides so that 5 = (a/b)^2

5b^2 = a^2. If sqrt is rational, then a and b are simplified to lowest terms.

We note that a^2 is a multiple of 5.

Let a = 5c

5b^2 =(5c)^2 = 25c^2

b^2 = 5c^2

Note: a and b have no common factors if sqrt 5 is rational and is simplified to lowest terms.

Except we have proven that 5 is a common factor of a and b, which can't be the case if sqrt 5 is rational.

Therefore sqrt of 5 is irrational.

Hey did you all hear about the recent turbo on Mafia Universe?

Completed: Breaking Site Turbo (mafiauniverse.com)

Edit: I've also heard of a social deduction game called Blood on the Clocktower.

Has anyone here heard, let alone played it?

This is a pretty elegant proof of the Pythagorean Theorem no?

Seems I made a mistake

phi^-1 = Phi - 1

Oh yeah phi^2 = phi +1 and phi^1/2 = phi - 1.

Phi - 1 = 1/phi

x(phi)       x(phi)

phi^2 - phi = 1

-1               -1 

phi^2 - phi - 1 = 0

Use quadratic formula 

phi = +- 1 *sqrt((-1)^2 - 4*1*-1))/2

= 1 *+-sqrt((1 - - 4))/2

= 1 *+-sqrt((5))/2

Phi > 0 so phi = 1 + sqrt(5) / 2

Hello.

What if I told you that the Golden Ratio shows up in Pascal's Triangle?
There is a formula to derive the Golden Ratio too.

48/24 is indeed the usual cycle length. 48 hour long days and 24 hour long nights.

Oh hello.

So this is the Forum Mafia section of the website?

In case I didn't mention it, the "word of mouth" is from people who play Forum Mafia and they happen to be on this website.

Hello everyone!

I found that this website exists by word of mouth. Seems I found a good replacement for Game of Thrones after well how they ended the TV series.

Voidbringers have a high power level, so they require high rep  

That makes sense sort of.

Hello everyone!
 

Yes I've played Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask.

They're both good games.
