Games [GAME OVER] CYOR VI

It would be fun to setup a round of games where each BHP GM picks what they think was their best game, tweeks it enough to be different, and reruns it.

I was already considering doing such a thing, running a Ghost Trick game again with alterations.

Nodlied had a cult in a CYOR back when TheIrishman started playing. Basically, we've had cults. It's not unthinkable. I'm thinking more along the arsonist line myself.

I forgot about that one. I thought that was one of the most fun I've played.

I've thought about doing something like Pulp Novel Chicago mafia again.

[Retaliation]

I honestly can't believe we played like 5 games of deadspace. I can only remember bits of one or two.

Also I've been bingeing zombie media for like the past 3 weeks so I'm in a zombie mood tbh that probably has something to do with it too.

If there's one positive from Corona I hope happens it's that we see a resurgence in the genre.  I think it's already starting to happen.  It goes in cycles, but we were about due for a resurgence.

I think I only played the first two, just didn't have time for the later games. Those were Verti's first RPG style games, right?

Probably closer to release. But believe it or not, I do have a rough idea for a Dead Legion mafia.

Yeah they started mafia and ended up pvp forum RPGs.

I wish there was (or I knew about) some software that helped with the complexity and updating that has to constantly happen during those. I'd try to do some myself, but it's so much work for what often ends up as a worse game of mafia.

I could probably write something like that. I haven't done anything with gaming throughout my professional career, but I do a lot with industrial networking/communication and distributed services. i.e. something that players could send their actions to and it would validate everything.

If somebody wanted to pay for it, it shouldn't be that difficult to host as a website for the front end. Might even be possible to do it for free on AWS.

Eh maybe we are reading too much into this as a cult. It seems at least half of us either chose to or can't visit other people right now. Let's say your town, if you got infected, you'd obviously not visit people. If you're on the scum team, you'd do the NK (not pass an infection) and your partner could do their night action. And apparently we have one guy who is just immune to it.

It seems like a really difficult job to spread a cult like that.

My guess is the knife is a TP NK with a % chance to actually do.

Just imagine the chaos if scum, TP, and town (through a FRAYDO mentor thing) all had NK's that were 100% chance (barring blocking). We'd be done by D3.

[Mojoman]

Oh also @Jeod does that mean my and iLTS day actions are usable again? I think you said yesterday you'd let D1 shenanigans slide?

[Retaliation]

Orange is the only one reading into this as a cult. 

[OrangeP47]

Was I the only one reading it as a cult? Though honestly, these are a good reasons, arsonist/poisoner does seem more reasonable, and I did originally list it as a possibility too so it's not like I wasn't unaware about it being a possibility from the start.

[Shade939]

Could be a zombie cult mechanic still. So a player becomes a necromorph after they die.

[OrangeP47]

And returning to the jealousy angle, I've wanted to be Pestilence for awhile now with some kind of spreading disease/infection, but I've never been able to make it into a form acceptable to a GM, so if someone else found a way to condense it, IE an infection, I'd be hopping mad.

I'll admit my first impression was cult as well, but that doesn't make a fun case against you.

[Shade939]

It's probably worth mentioned but someone was trying to spread disinformation to counter my original statements about what happened to me.

I was targeted by an ability that could have made me become infectious, I am not infectious from what sounded like random luck, and not because my ability stopped it.

[Shade939]

But I might have just gotten the generic it failed to effect you message, and it was because of my ability instead.

[Shade939]

Jeod might have intended to use the word infected instead in that PM, but I'm assuming infectious was intended in order to imply what could have happened.

[OrangeP47]

[Shade939]

We already know for a fact that FRAYDO was killed by a NK.

The action I was targeted by is also most likely a scum action, given that fact, it is likely we have a player running around trying to infect other players with a virus. Also, given the fact I was targeted, it was likely that they wanted me to infect other players by me visiting them, or other players visiting me in turn.

[OrangeP47]

If we have so many people not doing actions we're all socially distancing pretty well though.

So you're saying scum has two night kills or that this infection is something else?

Probably one NK and a TP with an infection ability.

[Category5]

Let's make sure we're keeping our terms straight, because I also thought you were claming that the infection was a mafia ability.

[OrangeP47]

Too bad everyone's getting active again now, cause I'm heading to bed.  Seems like late night is active this game.
