CYOR - Halloween Edition: Day One Welcome creatures, villains, and heroes! In light of Halloween, I've arranged for you to fight to the death for my own pleasure. Do your best to either outwit or brutally murder your enemies! But, be wary! Chaos has already been sown among you! The rules are standard. Mafia must try to equal or exceed Town in numbers. Town must try to destroy all hostile enemies. If there are any Third Party or Neutral players, they must do their best to complete their objectives. Days will be 48hrs with Nights being 24hrs. Hammer will be at 6PM EST or 10PM UTC.All night actions must be sent at least an hour before hammer. If you have any questions regarding the rules or your abilities, feel free to ask, although I may not be able to answer all of your questions. Also just a heads up, there may be hidden day actions, so I promise if something happens that you don't expect, it's most likely not my mistake Edit: Lynching rules: At the end of the day, the person with the most votes will be lynched. If there is a tie, RNG will decide. No Lynch is acceptable, but two days without a voting a player will result in punishment. There is no early Hammer initially. There may be one when the player pool has thinned down enough with everyone asking for it. There are also extra guidelines which are posted in the general thread, but let's recap the main ones for those who are new: Try to stick to the timetable Await your Role PM soon before the game starts, if you have any questions, let me know before we start, since after that I won't have time to check PMs Please be civil! No spamming or swearing. It's just a game. Let's have fun! If you are not in the game, please DO NOT post game related stuff in chat! DO NOT discuss the game outside of the thread unless you are specifically given permission by me. DO NOT quote private mod communications. DO NOT attempt to break the game. No trying to get people to make toxx clauses, encryption, or fake day actions. Basically, if you're about to post something you're a little too proud of as a way of breaking the game, think twice before posting. Good luck!

Alright, the game is almost ready to start, just waiting on feedback from a few people before we're good to go.

Oh, I never knew. That explains why you two were so protective of each other during the steins gate mafia game. Now it makes sense.

Last call, sign-ups close on Saturday. I'm gonna say at about 1:00PM EST or 5:00PM UTC, that way I'll have most of the day to do everything. I'd prefer to have more than 8 people, but we can run it as is if we need to. @Alstar Can anyone reach him? He hasn't been on for 10 days so I doubt he's even aware of the game. @Retaliation @Chaos_Knight @kamuixmod @Misa @Isaac The Madd

Oh, I just remembered. I'll probably need everyone's e-mail for google docs.

It's all up to what people request. I'm no longer a hand of RNGesus, so I don't have a say in FRAYDO's death. Mhm...but that 2.5%-3.5% chance at dying was impressive to pull off, regardless of his inability to control the matter.

Where's your game at? I might watch.

Resolving: Mojoman has initiated his ability, Be Helpful. The next request received, Mojoman has to try and complete. If completed he has a 99% chance to flip Mafia. Mojoman, join my game! :b

Sure, as long as you give it a try sometime, like within a year.

If you're already in a game, you can't possibly play a "full" mafia game just by continuing until the sign-ups are over, since there's already a portion missed from when the ability activated, so no You'd have to play a complete mafia game.

Resolving: Einstein shot Jeod, resulting in Jeods death. Jeod was The Duel Master, Third Party! But wait! Chaos Trap Hole has been activated! Nodlied has transformed back into Ruka Urushibara. And Einstein falls into the abyss known as "Mafia", only through playing a full Mafia game can he climb out.

The more the merrier ...or scarier

@Alstar @kamuixmod @Isaac The Madd @Misa @Jeod @ChopBam @Mojoman @Retaliation @Chaos_Knight @VERTi60 Plenty of room still available for you guys.

The jokes on you because Dead Space counts as a horror game, so you never know what people will pick

Do I need to get temporarily upgraded to the Forum Game Master status, like Kam? It's not letting me edit the post anymore.

That'd work too. Either Jeod or iLTS are fine in my book.

Alright everyone, so begins the CYOR - Halloween Edition. In this game Town will be the monsters/murderers while Mafia will be the heroes/survivors. HOW IT WORKS (shamelessly stolen from Jeod ↓) For the new faces, 'Choose Your Own Role' mafia is literally that. When you sign up, you send me a PM with a character name (any universe, any character within reason). If you like, you can even give some background on the character and suggest/request a role mechanic for the character. When I get the PM, I take your character and your ideas, and create a custom role based on it. But for this game, if you're town, your character must have a horror flavor to it. It could be a character from a movie, anime, TV show, comic, video game, etc... For example, Dracula would be fine while Alucard would not. Even though they're both vampires, one isn't in the horror genre. If you want to be mafia, then any hero/anti-hero that fights the monsters of the night would be acceptable regardless of the genre, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Blade, Van Helsing, etc...or any survivor from a horror themed platform. I will make an announcement when I receive all character PMs. If you want to change your character, you must do so within 48 hours of the previous request. Sign-ups will close on October 27th. Game is set to start October 29th 6:00PM EST. *This is not a mafia game for the faint of heart. You could be beheaded, maimed, stuffed inside an anus, or all of the above. This game will have some wacky shit going on. You've been warned.

Tempting, but I'll miss out on the Halloween season, which is the main theme of the game. Plus I'm impatient

Fair, but it still limits Mafia's ability to lie. And certain games can work splendidly with open setups, like yours, but I just don't see it for a CYOR.

I find open setup to be too boring and restricting. It makes things too difficult for scum/TP since it limits their ability to lie, in turn making it easier for town. This is a CYOR where wackiness and the unexpected are certain to be all around. I want surprises and maybe even a few scares. Being uncertain of those around you and figuring it all out are some of the best parts of Mafia. Although this might not be a favorable suggestion, instead of having Vert, Nod, or Cat5 review the game setup, would Jeod still count? He's very familiar with CYOR type games, has the general experience, and won't subtract from our player count.

The only thing I got right now is an idea of "no more than X amount of [blank] role" since there may be multiple characters who are good at something, let's use Tracking as an example. But even that number can vary depending on how many people sign up. I do have a few roles that are guaranteed to be in the game, but no more than 4.

Hm...I'm unsure about how to create rules around how roles will be made since I planned to make them according to the character's abilities, i.e. Michael Myers (from the Halloween series) could be a Tracker with 1 time Night Bulletproof. I think the best I could offer is to have my co-host review my setup after it's made to see if it needs any tweaking. As for setup, I know what I'll most likely do for Mafia, Town, TP, and N count according to how many players sign up, but it'd change depending how many players sign up. And whether there'd be TP or N could change depending on the characters requested and the abilities requested.

Well, it's a CYOR, so there isn't really a setup until the characters are sent. Using what people request is how I'd determine the roles/abilities. I'd have 5 days of sign-up and 2 days to create the setup. And I'm only pushing my game because there's been too much silence on the Mafia front (roughly 10 days of zero posts), so I wanted to give people something to play. If you two want to do your games instead, please go ahead.

Soo...if another game isn't announced within 24 hours @VERTi60 @OrangeP47, I'm gonna launch sign-ups for my game (first time GMing so we'll see how it goes). The theme of my game will be CYOR Monster Mash edition, in the spirit of Halloween. Essentially Town are villains from any horror film - Vampire, Zombie, Witch, Killer Clown, etc... Mafia will be the badass heroes who'll try to survive and kill them. TP and Neutral might be available. If you don't have a specific character in mind, tell me what kind of race, role, or alignment you'd prefer. When choosing your character, please keep in mind that they must be from a horror film (any kind), so a character like Alucard would not be applicable, while Dracula would be. Game start would be October 29th, most likely.

You know, sometimes I feel like your luck can almost rival FRAYDO's.
