So yeah. Hey. Let's do this.

Rules

> No posting of screenshots or any other infallible evidence.
> Metagaming is not allowed. That means that everything that belongs in this game or past games is allowed, but using the forum or any other method as evidence is strictly forbidden.
> The game is played in cycles. One cycle consists of 24 hours. Between every cycle, there will be a pauze of maybe 1-2 hours.
> During a cycle, everyone is allowed to post in the thread and vote for a possible lynch. A vote is done in one way only; ''Vote: Player X''. Anything else will be ignored.
> When a majority is reached at the end of the cycle, a lynch will be set in motion. This does not mean a majority in numbers, just a majority of votes. 4 votes as opposed to 2 votes when there are 12 players would still cause a lynch to happen, for that matter. No lynching is allowed.
> Actions are send to the host during a cycle. At the end of it, the host will list any deaths that happened during the day.
> A faction wins when there are no other foes left in the game. It is possible there is no winner at all.
> Every player is forced to play for their own faction. Actions that the host deems detrimental to a faction, will be punished severely.
> Inactivity is punished by death. This can be remedied by sending the host a PM every cycle if you wish to stay silent in the thread.

I haven't read the roles because I don't have time atm, but I'm going to assume that this game is awesome. Double checking when I get back in a few hours.

Right, thanks everyone for signing up!

But, as it is right now, we don't even have enough for two factions yet. I had hoped for more show, but right, if I must, I'll settle for 12players instead of 16. But that really is the lowest I can go.

Join in on the fun, everyone!

Alright! Right now, this game will start very soon.

However, I have a single idea I want to throw in here;

Right now, we have 12 players. This is fine, because with it, we can either form 3 OR 4 factions. So yeah, after some thinking, I thought it might be possible to remove one role of every faction, and create 4 factions of 3 people.

So, what does everyone think?

- Either, we keep all roles, remove the Followers of Hextor and proceed with three factions.

OR

- We remove a role from the roster of every faction, and start with four factions.

Tell me what you think!

I was originally leaning towards dropping Hextor, but the more I look at it, the more it seems the game would sorely miss them. Also I think teams of three might be a bit more tight knit and versatile, so I'm definitely for dropping a member from each faction. I just did a quick skim through the roles and I have a few recommendations for who should get the ax too.

Shadows of Olidammara
Alton Whisperear or Lavinia Tosscobble

I actually like these roles equally, but I like Gimble better than both of them. It might be better for the faction have only one role with a "forbidden to post" ability.

Guardians of Pelor
Shelia Beckett

If we're whittling down, I'd prefer to get rid of "one time use" abilities rather than sustained actions. Pile on top of that the nuanced abilities of her teammates and the likely chance that whoever she revives might be slow getting back into the game and have inactivity issues, I'd say get rid of Shelia.

Reapers of Nerull
Mialee Nailo

Same deal as Shelia and the one time use. Only difference, and this is a big one to me, is that Mialee also makes the game more boring for an additional player.

Rulers of Hextor
Aramil Galanodel

This is more process of elimination than anything else. Personally, I think I would've rathered that Tordek be removed. However, Todek is the thematic poster boy for this faction. Also, let's face it, Carol Flickaswitch is the most interesting of the bunch.

Thanks, Talon.

Yes, myself, I was also looking at those roles in particular. Mostly those will be removed, in my opinion, except that I think I'll be making some changes to some roles to balance things a bit more.

Personally, I think I'll be removing Lavinia, and then giving the ability to the Flagbearer. Right now, the Scion of Olidammara was already the weakest Flagbearer of the bunch, so giving it a little extra kick won't hurt much.

Next to this, I might limit the Scion of Nerull's ability so that it will only activate after a goal has been reached, e.g., a set number of cycles, a kill of Kelth. Something like that.

I am also musing about Tordek, about him being the Flagbearer. Naturally, he won't take the Scion's kill-ability, but some could argue he does have a right to claim it. What does everyone think about this matter?

I wouldn't mind a buff to the Scion of Olidammara. I think Tordek should be a powerless flagbearer. Scion of Hextor has a pretty good power, whoever kills him should be rewarded with not having to deal with it anymore. I'd also say to have Scion of Nerull's kill activate on either of his followers getting a kill or being killed. Death begets death, and all that.

Hmm, alright.

I'll be taking a shower now, and after that, proceed make the final decision. At this point the game will also start.

In the mean time, feel free to discuss some more.
CYCLE ONE HAS NOW STARTED. GO OUT THERE AND KILL THINGS. MAY VECNA CURSE ALL WHO EXPOSE THE SECRETS GIVEN TO YOU BY THE GM.

Also, check the OP. I've edited the roles.

I don't think there's really much we can do at this early stage other than do a no lynch. The phase will last the full 24 hours anyway though.

Vote: No Lynch.
