Yup as in Serenity.
It’s gonna be cool. 
We are abandoning the open set up that we have used in the past. No one will know what roles are possible (though we may provide a few links at the beginning of the game to help new players get an idea.)
We also have a few twists on the traditional roles that should make things fun.
Also, everyone gets a character name. We are talking about making it a no vanilla townie game also, but haven’t firmly decided.
Hi all.
I would like to state openly that I didn’t leave because of Idle Thoughts. He was frustrating, but I understand that that is part of the game. I left because I came here to have fun, not to be insulted.
I see that Blaster Master has decided to ModKill me, which is just as well, but I do wonder why he was so resistant to subbing me. He subbed everyone else. He subbed Malacandra *after *my first request for substitution. I guess everyone else can be subbed, but I’m not allowed to be.
Glad to see there’s interest in my game. It will be complicated, but fast-paced. I’ll start the Mafia VII thread once this game starts to wind down. If you want to play, post there. Remember, this one’s going to last several more weeks, since the Town’s going to win. 
sachertorte, I don’t think the mod-kill was personal. It just reflects that this game has suffered too many subs at this point.
Sounds interesting. Be very careful about balancing; especially the interactions among the power roles. Not knowing all the roles and powers makes it easier to balance, since it’s harder for players to collaborate. But it also makes it harder for the roles to use their powers optimally. I don’t know how much it’d help, but you may want to see how my game goes for a while, so you can learn from any mistakes I may make. (Like I’ve learned from Blaster’s: fewer players is better.)
Pleo, if you are willing to not play in the game I would love to have you take a look at the set up and see what you think. Balance is the most important thing to me right now. We have already enlisted glee to help the setup, but I figure now that we have the basic outline of the game set, we could use all the imput we can get to make sure it is balanced.
I was actually thinking about starting a GQ thread about how best to balance a game like this, so we all have a reference to look at when creating future games.
Please check your PM’s when you get a chance sach.
And once again, I want to apologise for my post towards the end of the Day.
Oh, you tempter! I’m interested in playing your game, but game mechanics is fun too. I’ll be going on vacation for two weeks after this Friday, so I won’t be able to help you much until I get back. I’ll let you know then which way I decide.
Note, my participation in this game will be going down, but I think my position is fairly clear. I expect to have intermittent internet access, so I’ll be more or less aware of goings-on.
Oh, meant to add, a GQ thread would be good. I’ll definitely participate in that.
sachertorte, I think the reason why **Mal ** got a sub and not you, is down to me. I started following the game again shortly before you asked for a sub and I wasn’t sure if I could find the time to play.
After a little while and picking up on the game, I also found I did have the time spare. I also pestered everyone into keeping the forbidden thread spoiler free so that if others needed to sub in, at least they could post there first.
When **Mal ** noted that he would need a sub, I found I had the time and the inclination to play and told BM that if he needed a sub I was available. If I had not offered, I think **BM ** would have modkilled Mal.
The rest you know.
As for the modKill now - you will have to ask BM.
I hope that you get a chance to play in another game and enjoy it as much as some of the others here, hopefully with no insults.
Wait a second - Sachertorte wasn’t modkilled was he? Wasn’t Idle that avatar and as such someone who voted for him would die? So sicne sach voted for him, sach died. How is this a modkill?
No, **Idle **was not the Avatar. **Sachertorte **quit, and **BM **decided to color text the ModKill.
–FCOD
Yes, Sachertorte was mod-killed. If Idle thoughts had been the Avatar, he would have been identified as such. Sachertorte was listed as collateral damage…not blown up by the Avatar.
Well I spent the last hour trying to figure out a way to phrase the question so it will make sense to those of us who don’t follow these games, and I kept comming up with 3 page (word doc) long posts. Anyone have any suggestions?
%0.00043 is not enough! Recruit! Recruit! Recruit!
Interesting, so you are saying that I just post that? Could work, I can title the thread “Calling all game theorists,” drop it in GQ and see how long it takes me to get pitted.
Lovely.
I started a conversation thread about game mechanics on Idle’s board here just to get the ball rolling. Once I pin down exactly what it is I want to ask I will start a GQ thread.
You know, we could add cute little glowing bugs somewhere into the game, if it would entice Cookies to play. 
I’m already quite interested. Just don’t stick me with being a Reaver.
We’ll make you Darth Reaver.
It’s limerick time
A lying cultist called Idle Thoughts
Thought he would not be caught
Cos he shouted out loud
“I’m a Monk, true and Proud”
But in the end it was all for naught.
