I’ve been considering if I have enough time for this, as it clearly needs dedicated players.
I do!
So please count me in as a player (I’ll be a reserve if that helps.)
As I mentioned in the Arkham game (and really, in all my games), it’s difficult for me to play during work hours, and I work some pretty weird hours sometimes. However, I’m always following along as best I can.
Just so you guys know that going in!
If you can hold off on the start of the game until Wednesday, I’ll be home from vacation and I’ll actually have time to play this.
If that doesn’t disqualify me, that is. 
And on my planet Proboards are down…
Thanks guys!
I actually have a couple days off, and while I’m spending them with a lady, I will also be squirreling away and tinkering with the game design and hopefully moving forward on this.
Sign-ups remain open until that process is complete, hopefully done within the week and the game should begin. Hopefully. Sorry it’s slow but this one is more than just rand-ing vanilla roles out, there’s complicated shite happening in this game. I need to make sure it all makes sense and works as intended.
Welcome to the new sign-ups! Thanks again.
Woohoo! Starting towards the end of the week works for me, too. I’m taking my first vacation in about 10 months so I may not be able to drag myself away from the poolside to log in.
Yeah, well, I work at a college and they’re on spring break this week but some rude jerk killed me in the idlemafia game so as far as I’m concerned, the sooner this game starts, the better. I’m gonna get the DTs!
OK Pizza, we[sup][/sup] killed you over in the Batman game, so you should have some free time to get this thing moving now. Hop to it!
[sup][/sup]I use the word ‘we’ loosely here, seeing as how I didn’t personally vote for you, because I believed your Scummy lying ass…a mistake which I do *not *intend to repeat in this game.
Correction: My scummy lying sexy ass.
And yes, my two days off begin now, and I intend to after those two days are up post an update which, hopefully, should read: Game complete, roles being sent out. That’s the goal.
When you see the game you’ll understand…
Are we fully signed up then? Some folks may need reminders they are signed up for this one.
Not me.
As for Pizza’s scummy if sexy butt getting lynched over on Idle. Haha. Haha. Hahahahahahahaha. 
I second that, hahahahahaha
Hm, am I allowed to say that :), at least the smileys aren’t dancing bunnies here.

1. Game concept and setup: 100% complete
2. Role and character path creation: 100% complete
** 3. Starting role PMs: 99% complete**
4. Miscellaneous tid-bittery and finishing touches: 0% complete

**Draft of the How To Play guide
Experience Level:**
[ul]
[li]Certain players begin with more experience than others, but it will take longer for them to advance further.[/li][li]Certain character classes are more advanced than others and cannot be reached by level 1 or 2 characters.[/li][/ul]
Experience Level Up:
[ul]
[li]Any round where you place a vote during the day, and do not switch character classes, you are awarded one experience level. You do not have to successfully lynch a mafioso or use a special ability.[/li][/ul]
More experience levels as a certain character class allows you to switch to more advanced classes. However, this is not across-the-board; you might advance far as a mage, but that does not mean you can easily switch to an advanced fighter class. You will have to backtrack a bit to get to the more advanced fighter classes from a mage class, and vice-versa. Some exceptions may apply.
[ul]
[li]More **advanced classes **will generally have **more abilities **and higher Hit Points, therefore it is desirous to become an advanced class.[/li][/ul]
Alignment Shift:
During the day or night, you may perform an action which affects the karma of your character. Good or lawful actions may shift you in that direction, unlawful or violent actions may shift you in the other direction. Note that townies can turn Good, Neutral, or Evil, and that Lawful, Neutral, and **Chaotic **aligned characters can all be townies.
[ul]
[li]Alignment affects what sorts of classes your character can become. Lawful characters cannot become every class that a chaotic character can. Purely good characters cannot become every class either.[/li][/ul]
**Good <—> Neutral <------> Evil
**
Lawful <------> Neutral <------> Chaotic
Element Shift:
Mage-class or magically inclined characters may have the ability to change the elemental god which they serve, renounce the protection of one element and embrace another. This may take the place of a different action.
[ul]
[li]Elemental protection can serve to help or hinder you against certain forces.[/li][/ul]
Wind, Earth, Fire, Water, Light, and **Shadow **are the 6 known elements in this game. None are inherently good or bad.
**Light
Fire [COLOR=White]______________Wind
[/COLOR]Earth****[COLOR=White]______________[/COLOR]****Water
Shadow**
[ul]
[li]**Fire **deals double damage to earth, normal damage to wind, half damage to water.[/li][li]**Earth **deals double damage to wind, normal damage to water, half damage to fire[/li][li]**Water **deals double damage to fire, normal damage to earth, half damage to wind[/li][li]**Wind **deals double damage to water, normal damage fire, half damage to earth.[/li][li]**Light **deals double damage to shadow, half damage to fire and wind, normal damage to others.[/li][li]**Shadow **deals double damage to light, half damage to earth and water, normal damage to others.[/li][/ul]
Change Classes:
Characters generally begin as a **Soldier **or a Mage.
[ul]
[li]**Soldiers **become fighter classes, support classes, and clerics, among other things.[/li][li]**Mages **become Wizards, White and Black mages, among other things.[/li][/ul]
Most classes can switch back to being a soldier or a mage. A mage can become a soldier, a soldier can become a mage. Mage versus soldier is the main division in classes.
[ul]
[li]There are some classes which cannot be discovered through experience. Some are naturally endowed with special powers and are therefore inaccessible to all others. This is for game balance.[/li][/ul]
To switch character class, you must first have a class available to switch to. At all times you will be informed as to which classes are accessible at your experience level and alignment. When in a character class, you will be informed which classes you can change into and what criteria must be met for the switch to become accessible. Example, an alignment switch to neutrality may be required, not just a certain level of experience. As the game progresses, the requirements for each class will become slowly known to all players, most likely. The abilities of each class will also become known, most likely.
[ul]
[li]To switch to a class which is accessible, simply PM the game host and the switch will be done. You cannot switch classes again until the next round.[/li][li]To switch to a class which is **inaccessible **but the requirements can be achieved through experience gain or alignment shift, simply PM the game host your intention to switch to the new class. You will then be told what you need to do in order to meet the prerequisites and how long the change will take.[/li][li]If you **do not know **what the prerequisites to change to a class are, then I cannot inform you what you need to do to change to that class. It may require several class changes or it may require information you’re not personally privy to. As such you cannot gain new information by asking me about character classes.[/li][/ul]
Complicated? Remember, it’s still just a mafia game. The game can be won without bothering with any of this. If you are town, just lynch the guilty scum and you win.
Goals
Some characters may gain additional motivations for their own personal success. This does not necessarily mean they are working against the town’s goals, just for their own as well. Some others may gain additional motivations which do conflict with the town’s goals.
In such a diverse group of strangers, not everyone will see eye to eye on how best to proceed.
Wrath of the Demon Lord- rule
If thou shalt miss three voting rounds without explanation to the game master, even on nonconsecutive rounds, thou shalt be removed from this life, and the next…
If thou shalt be away from the game due to “real” life, then inform thy game master and thou shalt be granted a reprieve.
If thou shalt not wish to play anymore, because thou art a mortal weakling and cannot withstand the pain any longer… boo fricking hoo. I do not allow suicides. Thou may abandon the game in a manner not unlike a plucked chicken, but thou wouldst remain alive for others to massacre at their leisure.
Sounds cool, and I’d ask permission to start a new thread once the game is started properly. I’m fairly sure they will grant it.
Can’t wait!
You said we can ask you questions, so here goes. Your in-game character “will hate on everyone who isn’t the mafia…”
Does that mean your character won’t be mean to Mafia?
