Oh, and if you only submitted one role, consider if it's viable for multiple alignments. It's more helpful if you submit either one role with multiple possible alignments or multiple roles for each possible alignment.

@Voe has to date been Black Science Man and Jerry Boyd from Yuri's Revenge. Both of them have been absolutely comical to make descriptions and abilities for. It's a shame he doesn't seem interested in mafia anymore.

Waiting on roles from the following: @Nodlied @ChopBam @Killing_You @Category 5 Hurricane @FRAYDO Please try to have these in by the 10th so I can spend the 11th and 12th preparing the game. For anyone not signed up yet, you have until the 10th to do so. Thanks!

There are plenty of items in the current scenario so far thanks to requests, so a break/repair mechanic won't be in--it'd create too many unnecessary actions. However, as a result of so many items, you should all know that role abilities will be pretty weak. I'm liking the way things are taking shape though, it means that all players no matter their character and abilities or lack thereof have an opportunity to shine for their team.

Not something I'll answer since it could provide too much information for game mechanics.

I like this strategy. My goal was to keep items in the game throughout, so a vault seems like the best option.

POSSIBLE FEATURE Item inheritance - If a player is killed, the player that performed the killing action will receive all items the target had. If a player is lynched, a random player who voted for the lynchee will inherit all items the lynchee had. Thoughts on this possible addition?

I got a present for ya!

Halloween was yesterday. Next year!

I'll add a blip about it on the first day post, but the change only applies to hammertimes for the Americas. 10:00PM GMT is currently 6:00PM EDT, but is 5:00PM EST. I will get with Sunflower to see which hammertime we need to adjust (to 5PM EST or 11PM GMT).

Uhm, DST ends this weekend, not the day before game start. But yes, keep in mind that in the States, clocks fall back one hour.

WIFOM is an oft-misapplied term. Which "bomb" are you referring to?

Wow, popular demand. I added a sign-up thread just now since CYORs need a minimum of 10 days to allow for role creation and balancing.

INTRO Back due to popular demand! This game will start on Monday, November 12, at approximately 10PM GMT/UTC, which is the usual game start/hammer time. Game start date and time are subject to change based on signed player count and role PMs received. For those of you who are new to Choose Your Own Role style mafia games, here’s a short explanation: at its core, CYOR is a standard mafia game. Town attempts to eliminate all hostile elements (mafia and third party). Mafia attempts to eliminate players and outnumber the other factions. The third party has specific win conditions based on their role, and the neutral faction is similar; neutral faction players, however, are not considered hostile. If you sign up for this game, you will send me a PM with your role request. Please add Sunflower to your PM request as well. You can customize your role as much as you see fit, and I will do my best to honor your request. Here’s an example of a role request: The more information you include in your request, the more accurate your final role will be. Here’s a template to help guide your request, although it’s not necessary to use when sending me your PM: You can request a specific alignment, but I can’t guarantee it will be the alignment you receive. Also, if you weren’t present for CYOR III, I’ll mention it again: please do not request overpowered roles! Keep game balance in mind. It’s much easier on the GM—and yourself—if you keep your role realistic for a mafia game. RETURNING FEATURES CYOR III brought back the items mechanic from CYOR I and, in my opinion, it was a large success. Items made for a fantastic dynamic that continued into other mafia games hosted by other GMs because of the added risk/reward factor. For example, the Death Note, an item capable of making extra kills for mafia, could end up in a town player's hands and then be used against scum. The reverse is also true. Items will be making a comeback for CYOR IV as well. As with roles, if you choose to request an item in the game, please try to keep it realistic and relatively balanced. Requests for “magic potions that instantly discover mafia” will not be honored! Remember, requesting an item is optional! Depending on the roles chosen, you may see a variant of the synergy mechanic from TheIrishMan's CYOR Supernatural Edition. SUGGESTED CHANGES If you have a suggestion for a game-wide mechanic that might add some pizazz to the game, then please share! CO-MODERATOR Unfortunately my work schedule for my current position and upcoming position (Nov. 19) goes into hammer times. Therefore, @Sunflower will be assisting me with running this game. It's her first time seeing things from the Host perspective, so please be nice!

Come on, even you have to admit that a Nod Base and GDI Base in separate games would make for next-level interesting if done properly.

Remember that idea I had with two GMs running mafia games at the same time that are connected somehow? Wonder if anyone else has some thoughts that could make that a reality.

Okay, so if you're not willing to host CYOR or Basics formats, include them in your poll anyway but say I'll GM them. Easy peasy.

Besides, you never said if you were going to do a forum Halloween APB game.

Then don't join. I can add a poll, but it'll only be between CYOR and Basics formats.

Alright, CYOR IV it is with Sunflower as a co-mod. Think about your next roles. I'll put a thread up either in a few hours or tomorrow morning.

You fail to have me clarify to which endgame I refer to.

I'm forcing her to co-mod my next game. Don't worry.

YES

Come to think of it, I have closing shifts for the next two weeks and after that I start a new job with a training schedule of 11a-7:30p EDT for 4 weeks. Running a game would be quite difficult without a co-moderator.
