Ab-HEX-NotW-NES-Thing Discussion/Development Thread

[Abaddon]

During the day, people are free about the city, able to stockade a few areas slowly

At night, the Zombie monsters emerge from the buidlings and destory at will

Come morning, survivors must vote if and where the government should bomb (pick a force)

Were they controlling the zombies? You will find out.

If not, uv'e just killed off a potential allie, if so, were they the only controller?

Game goes on until someone reaches their WIN.

Sounds interesting
religious, army, or police would be good, but I don't really care what I get.

 

[merciary]

Since you've posted this stuff, can I call Corporation?

 

[Terrance888]

Are we having a military or militia?

I call a church.

 

[Methos]

Oddly, I find this interesting. If it's similar to a notw, then I'm in.

 

[Methos]

I'll be the Army.

 

[Niklas]

Ok, a good starting point I'd say, and I think this could be a really interesting game. I can see some balancing issues with it as it's presented now though.

The primary problem I see is that if we vote every morning for someone to be bombed, and that bomb reveals if they control the zombies, the game will be over very fast - or at least we'll find out who the controller is very fast - with 8 factions, we will know for sure within 8 days, probably less.

I would like to suggest the following changes:

- First of all, don't let a bomb reveal whether someone controls zombies. Voting on the bombs is a really good idea, but let them have only the bombing effect.
- To reveal if someone controls the zombies, you must capture their headquarters. Obviously that means adding explicit HQs to the map. That will tell you if they controlled the zombies, and you can do what you want with that info (or fabricate something).
- Only if a faction is killed completely will it become public knowledge whether they controlled the zombies or not.

"Innocents" win if the zombie-controlling faction(s) are eliminated. "Zombies" win if the zombie-controlling factions fulfil their evil goal (which could be as simple as controlling half the map, which would let them overrun the innocents easily after that). Each faction has a separate goal, and like in NotW the real winners are those that are both on the victorious side and complete their goal.

Thoughts?

Oh, and if this really is a signup thread, count me in. I'll be the south side thugs then.

 

[Ekolite]

I agree with everything that Niklas said, but I think that the map is a bit too big. If it was smaller the strategy involved in moving would make the game more interesting.

How far can people move? I assume they can move because I can't think what else the hex grid could be for.

What do all the markers on the map do?

I'll be watching this game develop and if it starts getting a bit better as a game and more intreresting I think I'll probably join.

You know I once has a similiar idea of combining NOTW with a NES (NES of the Werewolves was it's name) it's a shame I never had time to run it.

 

[Sepuku]

Hmmm this does sound interesting, In for me.
And I would love to play the Mutants, but if not then a Street Gang would be ok (as long as all their mohawks match my own ) and if those are taken, National Guard ftw!

 

[Abaddon]

Glad to have you aboard. More details soon...

 

[Arsonist]

In for a penny, in for a pound. A corporation sounds good, but I'm not bothered either way.

 

[rhawn]

This sounds good. I have a lot on my plate right now but if you start it after JtN or Mini-NoTW finishes I"m in.

 

[CCRunner]

Hell, why not. IN

First choice is police, second is the gang, third is national guard.

Reposting it here since this seems to be the main thread

 

[Terrance888]

Gang!
Church!
Survivors!

 

[CCRunner]

Just to clarify, do you want sign ups in this thread or the one in the NES forum? I did mine in both just in case....

 

[Nictel]

Why not this sounds fun. In for Survivors.

 

[Abaddon]

For now, throw them in any where

I might run all the voting and NotW bit here, and the NES bit there..
