Shadows Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 As it was written, "One day the Nizam shall rise again and bring upon the land a great disaster. Many will die as they attempt to reclaim control of the Sands of Time." This is that story. In it's loosest sense, this is a mafia game, but experienced mafia players gain very little advantage over the new players as this will not be quite like anything you've ever played before. The Rules of Play: A small number of you will be receiving a PM shortly. You are the Nizam. The rest of you will not hear from me at any time during this game. You are all free to use the local Potato Messenging system to any advantage you feel it may bring you. The game will operate on a day by day basis, with each game day lasting exactly 24 hours. During that time, all players may post in the discussion topic for that day in an attempt to gain information, create alliances, or simply deceive each other. Participation in the game topics is encouraged but not required. What is required, however, is a PM to me every night you live, detailing your 3 nightly wishes. Failure to send a nightly PM will not be pretty, but it might be amusing. For me. Who you plan to kill. This should be someone you believe to be on the opposing team from you. Assuming they aren't protected, you aren't blocked, and you live long enough to do it, they'll die in the night. Who you want to protect. This should be someone you believe to be on your own team who might be in danger. If successful, it will protect them from one kill attempt. That doesn't mean they'll last the night if multiple people target them. Who you want to block. This should be someone you believe to be on the opposing team from you. If successful, the actions of the person you block will be canceled or possibly altered. Don't be surprised if things don't go as you plan, there will be a lot of people doing a lot of things in the night, plus there are many outside factors that you can't possibly account for. Every day will be a surprise. The night will begin at exactly the moment the previous day ends. You will have 24 hours to PM your 3 wishes to me including the usernames of the players you wish to use them on. Be clear which wish is which, or you might just kill the person you were wanting to protect. At the end of those 24 hours, the next day will appear. This is how you will learn the effectiveness of the previous night (and whether or not you survived it). Ways to Improve Your Odds: PM early. Early wishes succeed more often than later ones. Have a PoP avatar to show you're really in the spirit of things. Participate in the day topics. Silence is not golden in this game. In the end, however, nothing is guaranteed. You may do everything right and still die. Please feel free to post a confirmation of your participation in this topic, but it isn't required. If you do, however, you just improved your chances. Add in a mention of your PoP style avatar, and you've done it again. Give your character a name and some background info in this topic (and if you're a sneaky Nizam, you can always lie), and look at that, you've improved those odds even more. Offer the host a bribe and you're well on your way to victory. See how that works?

JimBee Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 Fifty two players, each with three night actions. Fifty two night killers, fifty two doctors, and fifty two role blockers... Yep, I think it's safe to say ol' Uncle Shadows has lost it. Are you planning on calculating all of these actions out? If so, I'd prescribe some Tylenol. I'm ready win!
Inconspicuous Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 I'm dying to start playing. I can hear the deathwatches clicking in approval. Let me drink some die-t tea and let's get this chaos on the road. (Sorry for the horrible puns, I'm just a simple, phony telemarketer.)
Shadows Posted May 9, 2010 Author Posted May 9, 2010 Fifty two players, each with three night actions. Fifty two night killers, fifty two doctors, and fifty two role blockers...Yep, I think it's safe to say ol' Uncle Shadows has lost it. Don't worry, it won't be 52 for long. I think it's safe to say that Dystopia will lose it's 'most deaths in a single night' title pretty quickly.
Ricecracker Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 I think it's safe to say that Dystopia will lose it's 'most deaths in a single night' title pretty quickly. Well, I know that there'll be at least one extra death tomorrow.
YG-49 Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 Huh. Convienient I changed my avatar then. I think you're going to have a pretty full inbox, Shadows.
Shadows Posted May 9, 2010 Author Posted May 9, 2010 I think you're going to have a pretty full inbox, Shadows. You have 1695 messages out of 5000 maximum storable messages I think I'll make it.
Sir Dillon Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 Uhh ... I am a scroll. I hold an incredible story about Prince of Persia.
CMP Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 I am Gerno Yumen, Persian traveller and part-time assassin. Look at my new avatar. Ain't he awesome? I wanna stab some Nizams.
def Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 This looks like it's going to be a bloody, bloody game. Let's avert a disaster!
Bob Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 Persian Monarch Bob is reporting in and ready to play. I'm sure my trusty guards will run away from protect me from any sneaky Nizam!
iamded Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 iamded reporting in. Err, I'm a Troll... from Persia. Yeeeah. How about that? ~Peace
Alice Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 I am Alyss, a lowly slave. I make toasters for my master Shadows to give away with the carpets he sells.
not-in-use-anymore Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 (edited) There seems to be an increase in killing here... I'm just an angry fish seller, Indan Jonnz, who may or may not be looking at you behind your back. Seriously, don't turn around. Edited May 9, 2010 by indianajones
Sisco Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 <--- Avatar Updated! It's me. With a horse. And new headgear. Can't wait for the bloodbath to begin!!!
def Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 I'm just an angry fish seller, Indan Jonnz, who may or may not be looking at you behind your back. Seriously, don't turn around. As I am just a mere sponge living in Persia. But I am not looking at anybody's back.
jamtf Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 I photographed my avatar just yet and will load it up later today when I am at my parents' house (since my laptop can't do it ). Anyhow, Shiraz (named after a South African wine I just found ) is reporting for his killing duty.
Rick Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 Yep, I think it's safe to say ol' Uncle Shadows has lost it. Looks like Shadows is just trying to out-do Svelte on nuttyness. Got your spreadsheet ready to calculate all this through? Anyway, the Persian Banana Man is reporting for madness duty. Let's just say he likes bananas a lot.
Etzel Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 Roncanator A.K.A Riley Catanor signing in!... Gee I hope I dont die. I was just about to finish my list of different camel species in Persia Did you get my species? The quite rare Duckamel (Camelus Anatidae Etzelius). We are very interesting animals with many good qualities. One of them is that we are immortal, or at least I hope that's true
Eskallon Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 Hello there everyone, My name is Eskallon, I work as a guard in Persia and love to sail. I will show my self equipped (avater) as soon as possible.
Sandy Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 I'd say Shadows has totally lost it, if this concept wasn't so damn brilliant! I am Sandine, an exotic dancer and a great lover of Purrsian cats. Call me the Crazy Persian Cat Lady if you will, I take no offense from that. I only dance for the rich and famous, but the filthy Nizam's will only get a dagger through their heart from me. Come and dance with me! One question about the rules: can we target ourselves?
Dragonator Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 Good day everyone, I'm Mustafa, the friendliest merchant in town! If you're after something, then most likely I have it, or can have it soon thanks to my vast network of producers. Come by my stall in the bazaar, I have it all; cauldrons, rare scrolls, broomsticks, pointy hats, you name it, I've got it! I get new shipments in all the time, so you never know what exciting and exotic objects I'll have in next! And if you're a collector of exquisite and rare items, well, let's just say I know a few people who might be able to help you with those too. Inquires can be made in the back room. These Nizam are disrupting my trade roots and damaging my profits, let's deal with them as soon as possible.
