Mafia Roll to Dodge! =D

I got this idea from playing the game Roll to Dodge. In short, in game events are determined on dice rolls. So night actions, including kills, and abilities are determined on dice. Otherwise it is a normal mafia game.

The game itself will take place in the characteristic mafia-filled village, except in the Tropics! :) There will be two fases, night and day, with two write-ups per day (Morning and Evening). If you have a night order, send it during the night, and likewise during the day. Night lasts for 24 hours and Day lasts for 48 hours. Updates will typically be at 9 PM Chavezland time. (so either 30 minutes before or after 9 PM EST Time(don't remember, as it changes with Day Light Saving Time)

Also note, due to the GM's lack of creativity, don't expect creative write-ups unless someone wants to help write creative write-ups for me. :please:

General Rules: (thanks to Earthling as I copied them from his thread)
1) Be active and participate! You do yourself and everyone else a favor by contributing to the game. Communication with other players is key. Feel free to use the CFC PM system as well as other methods of communicating if you wish.
2) However, you must follow this rule: Never quote, copy, paste, forfeit, or otherwise try to present anything sent to you from me, the GM. You may paraphrase information like who you are and your abilities but not quote your Role PM or other GM info.
3) Quoting, forwarding, etc… of communications from other players in the game IS PERMITTED. Be aware of how others may be trying to manipulate your information. But also, be reasonable to your fellow players and paraphrase when necessary. (added by TLO, No quoting PM's to the game thread though, if you wish to share information learnt via PM's(or other methods of communication) onto the thread, paraphrase.)
4) Players who are dead may post in the public thread and comment on already public information in a way that does not overly influence the living. They may not communicate novel information about themselves or others. The dead will otherwise comply will all instructions from the GM, including no other contact outside the game thread in any way with any living players or otherwise further participating in the game in an influential manner.
4a) ALL players will be diligent in checking for PMs from the GM and following GM instructions before other actions- Especially with each Day/Night update. It would be unfortunate to see a situation where a player dies and has not read the PM telling them they are dead or something similar resulting in inappropriate game-thread posting. Dead players may be further informed of circumstances regarding what they are allowed to do/say – so everyone be careful you don’t get privileges like being able to comment at all while dead removed for everyone.
5) Before each Game Update there may be a lockout period where posting is disallowed; it will be mentioned by the GM. Players are encouraged to avoid last minute posting/voting etc… if at all possible, though of course the GM will try to count everything before the time for a writeup cutoff. Note: Players MAY talk on the game-thread during the NIGHT PHASE of the Game, as the Rules stand currently.
6) Roleplaying is encouraged in thread and outside of it too. And of course, you should chiefly aim to achieve your character’s goals and victories however you see best see fit. Try to avoid outside baggage and play within the spirit of the game.
7) Abide by all Forum rules at all times.
8) Always feel free to ask me for clarifications on anything. I can’t promise every question will be answered, but if you ever feel I’ve made a mistake or need something made clearer, feel free to ask.
9) Don’t be afraid to think outside the box…and have fun and good luck

Reserves:
Earthling

There will be 16 spots available, but if there is demend for more, I'll try to rebalance it and add more slots to the game. (Although I don't think I can go more the 24 people).
 
1 more just in case.

Also, would you guys like it if Lynches were based on dice roll as well? I was initially against this, but than realized it would be more of a taste, and it'd be fair to get your guy's opinion on it, whether or not it would throw away game balance. :confused:
 
FIRST POAST!
I won't be playing (I'm already on another's game, way :cool:er) but I'll subscribe to the game thread to comment and watch. What about them write-ups?
 
In, and I hope I get the 'roll reserver' role. Taste the Omnislash, peons!

(Don't like the idea of lynches being rolled for to be honest, because it'd be a bit gutting to spend 48 hours bandwagoning some guy and then roll a 1 and see him get off scot-free. Is that how this mechanic is going to work?)
 
Oh, I forgot to mention, Day/Night length is up for discussion, as it was somethnig I didn't think about when designing the game. Would you prefer 24/24 or 24/48?

@Catharsis, I don't like lynches being rolled either, and your reason was why I was against it.

@ Takhisis, I'd like it (not necesary) if someone could make write-ups for me, if someone wants to help, PM me.
 
In and I hope I get the "post copyer except for one part" role. Taste the Omnislash, peons!

Just to clarify, rolls won't work like "You roll a one and something bad happens to you". Each role will have a unique effect for the most part, even if the general action (IE kills) happen regardless.

So, can Innocents do outrageous stuff that come straight out of nowhere? Like, for example, me becoming the Premier of the USSR like in Ludicrous Edition?
 
Double A has volunteered to be the first victim of Omnislash. Hope you like ridiculously overpowered sword moves AA!
 
No, only ridiculously overpowered bo staff moves. KILIK FTW!

This is hilarious. I didn't even notice until I got to the word Omnislash...

I'll be in as a reserve, or essentially, if you need more players, but I have a feeling I may be busy and I'm sure other players would love to join in and have fun just as much.
 
In. Can I have a helicopter, an epic sword, and an army of demonic kittens?

48 Day/24 Night, No Dice Roll for Lynches.
 
We need more players, unless you can somehow rebalance it for fewer players.
