Altered Carbon Mafia 1.1 - signup thread

[Reign_Cryogen]

Now that RnR has suffered what turned out to be a beta version.. this one should run a little more smoothly.

It's built on a fairly traditional mafia framework with a couple tweaks injected to work with the theme - the rules & roles will outline them clearly if this gets off the ground.

Upfront: proposed daybreak would be no later than 10am US Eastern (GMT-5). Nightfall would be 9pm Eastern. Those times are negotiable if they're shit.

Target start would be Monday morning, November 3. But that's also negotiable.

So sign up. Chop chop!

If this gets rolling I'll put up a couple links for info and I'll craft an appendix to the rules & roles with some convention stuff.

[ravenscape]

In the meanwhile, the sign up thread (http://talkrational.org/showthread.php?t=4014) from umop's old game has some info and links that might be helpful.

(also there is an unwritten rule that posts in the game threads can not be altered in any way. just saying).

See the link in Post #7. There is another link to a wikipedia thingie, I think. It was a pretty good intro.

[Teshi]

I'm up for it.

How long does the game last, usually?

[Reign_Cryogen]

Noted, th1nk3r. From 5-7 I'm usually not at a PC. So how 'bout we push it up to 7 as a compromise?

[ravenscape]

I'm up for it.

How long does the game last, usually?
I'm not sure. Maybe 5 or 6 game days usually? Sometimes game days last more than 24 hours. A weekend might be 1 game day.

[Fuzzy Fungi]

I want in for round two.

[Fuzzy Fungi]

Or 1.1, whatever it may be.

[th1nk3r]

i don't mind 9 either, it's not like i have to get up in the morning. you'd have to ask some people that actually care about the issue, if any will sign up.

[Reign_Cryogen]

I'm up for it.

How long does the game last, usually?Typically a week and some change, real-time. Which, like raven' said, is about 5-6 game days. This setup has a factor that can potentially move it a bit faster.

Largely it depends on the number of players. The above numbers are true based on ~20 players.

That's midnight gmt / 1am western europe, right?
Count me in, although don't expect me to be around at nightfall every day.

[Reign_Cryogen]

Yes, 7p Eastern is midnight GMT. Alternatively we could do 5p Eastern (10p GMT), if any Pacific players are coo' with that.

[ravenscape]

Ending the game at 2:00 pm my time would work fine for me most days, I think.

[BWE]

I'm ok with 2:00 my time.

[Ian Nerr]

I would like to give this a try.

We'll go with a 5pm Eastern nightfall and see what happens. Worst-case-scenario is we have to adjust it if it ain't workin'.

Signup will remain open until late Sunday. Late Saturday/early Sunday I'll post the rules & roles breakdown, give time to ask questions.

Looks like there's room for at least 6 more to sign up.

I'm screwed if nightfall is 5 EST.

[Reign_Cryogen]

Well, speak up. What's your availability like?

[Luis Garcia]

Well, speak up. What's your availability like?

I'd be available if you start the game about 10 days later than you will, and end days a couple of hours earlier than you did before.

[halii]

i'm in.

[Reign_Cryogen]

Sweet! Do you want to be the doc again?

[elv]

Well, speak up. What's your availability like?

I'm away most days from 10-5 EST. I only need an hour to catch up most of the time so anything later than 5 would work for me. If that doesn't work for everyone else I guess I'd be out.

[Reign_Cryogen]

Okay, well.. that in mind, 7 eastern was my compromise time between the zones in case 5 was too early.

So we'll shoot for that and see what happens. Worst-case-scenario, we know for next game.

Okay, role PM's should all be out. Feel free to PM me with any questions and let me know if you haven't gotten your PM.

Wheels up at 10am Eastern, Monday Nov. 3 - either RSVP to your PM or make sure you post during Day 1 or I will god-kill you when Day 2 starts.

[Reign_Cryogen]

Also, would an Admin be so kind as to give me mod powers for this section and, if possible, make a subforum for the game (and move the two existing threads there)?

And I want a pony!

I have a question. Is all of this going to be done through PM? Because, if not, then, everyone can see who everyone is just by looking at the posts and the names at the bottom of the thread.

Hm.

We haven't done something like this before. Let me do some figuring...at the very least we can do a subforum for the game if its needed.

[Reign_Cryogen]

The moddie powers are unnecessary, by the way. It can just be helpful to lock the thread when nightfall hits so the votes are frozen.

LisaNight moves are all done via PM. But the real gameplay is during the day in the public thread. You've got to figure out who the scum are and lynch them. Harder than it sounds.

[ravenscape]

Subforum is set up and the two threads have been moved to it.

[Reign_Cryogen]

Yay! <3

[Reign_Cryogen]

Also, consider this thread the peanut gallery for night chatter (it's generally considered bad form to post in the day threads after the applicable nightfall).

Its a trap. RC is setting this whole thing up to take over a small subforum of TR for himself.

:wiggle:

actually i created an entire mafia game to get modded so I could fuck with mason's posts.

[Reign_Cryogen]

Was that Arrested Development or the other one?

[BWE]

When is daybreak again?

[Reign_Cryogen]

Deadline is 10am Eastern. I'm writing up the first one.. now.
