Dissensions v2.0 Game Thread - Part the Second

[Renata]

I can't handle a week or more between updates. No offense to either GM, who I'm sure are doing their best, but I can't play that way any more. Sorry.

 

[Rheinmetall]

Well. It was fun while it lasted.

 

[Izipo]

So, is this the part where we reveal all our hidden abilities ?

 

[Tolis]

i figured as much, since im sitting at an airport bored on my laptop, ill do the stats for everyone, as well as the mechanics that were never gotten to (sadness)
Since i am running off my laptop, i think i might have a few things not updated between charater PMs, so if it is different, feel free to correct it.

Battles System was done on a 3/1/1 system, where an attack vs a weakness = +3, an attack vs a defence was -1, and a netural attack is +1.

Win Conditions:
Innocents: Kill off Pinman (assassin), Kill off All Agents, Kill off All Counter Agents
CA/Agents: Kill off all of the opposing faction, as well as Pinman, and control a voting majoirty
Assassin: Kill off all the agents, and then have less players alive then the total number of your attack types divided by 3.
There were no tories in this game, though i did find it funny that everyone assumed that there were who played the last one.
Every 7 days, there were plans to have a global 10% price increase (with the exception of a charater who wasnt played)
Starting on the 8th day, Amulets of Protection were planned to go on sale, costing 1500+100 for each purchased GLOBALLY (aka 5 are bought by anyone, the next one costs 2000) These amulets, would passivly defend against a single TARGETED ability, or a scan of any time, automatically, and are single use.
And the Charaters

Lady Luck

Spoiler :

Reverse the Sands: Should you enter combat against a foe who is overwhelmingly at an advantage against you, you will remain victorious. Should you only have a slight advantage against him, you will lose. Your equipment puchases cost an additional 25%.

You are gifted with the power of the gods, and you posses a supernatural pre-awareness of danger. You are skilled at taking advantage of your foe's mistakes.

Flashy elemental magic is not among your fears, and close quarters combat leaves you little worry. You find it easy to target quick foes, and your attacks are difficult to counter.

Mental attacks are a threat to you, as is magical trickery. Transmutative effects are difficult for you, and strong foes are a challange. You do not fare well against foes who have a companion of sorts.

//Overwhelmlingly was counted at +/- 5 points. If an upgrade was obtained, the ranged would be lose by 4 =win, win by 4 or less = loss.

Manhunter

Spoiler :

Man Hunter

Flawless Strike: Each combat you enter, you may declare a single stat. If you declare a stat, it will be removed from your oppoents lists untill the end of the combat. (I.E. if you were to declare melee, +Melee, XMelee, and -Melee would be removed.

You are skilled with some form of weapon, and you have trained long and hard with a companion. You are gifted at defending versus attacks, and you possess a supernatural regeneration.

Foes who use transmutation do not fair well versus you, and foes who rely on their companion for support are of no threat. Heavily armored foes find you a challenge, and foes with a sixth sense find you too erratic to rely on that ability.

Foes who use flashy elemental spells are a danger to you, as are foes who confuse you with their attack style. Abnormally quick foes confound you, as are foes who take advantage of your mistakes.

// On upgrade, this charater would have been able to use his attack not only to remove a skill from the attack and defense grids, but add the same skill as a weakness

Horseman

Spoiler :

Horseman

Charge: You ignore all defensive skills used against you, but you leave yourself more open to magic attacks. You must declare if you wish to use this ability.

You put much force behind you attacks, and you are skilled with a weapon. You are abnormally fast, and you are trained in the use of armor.

Foes who attack from a distance do not fare well against you, nor do for foes who try to cross you up with their attacks. Flashy elemental spells do not faze you.

Mental attacks are a problem for you, as are conjurers. Foes who use transmutative magic find you at a loss, as are foes skills at close ranged combat.

+Might +Melee +Speed +Armor +Divine
XProjectile XFeint XElemental XMelee
-Psionics -Conjuration -Transmutation -Unarmed

/Weak to magic attacks was counted at +.25 for each magical attack possessed, and if he was weak to it, +.5. Completly ignores all defensive abilities of both players when in use. If upgraded, this skill would have the added effect of allowing the Horsemaster to preserve a single defense type he possesses of his own choice which using it.

False Prophet

Spoiler :

False Prophet
Played by:

Prophecy: You have the ability to receive visions of a person while you sleep. These dreams are imperfect, but will impart knowledge of some of the target's stats or possibly a special ability. If only you could understand the meaning of the dreams.

You have been granted gifts from the gods, and you are skilled at fooling your foes through magic. You posses a supernatural sense of danger, and you can also fool your foes through more mundane means.

Foes who attack you from a distance fair badly against you, as do foes who try to dodge you attacks. You are able to see through nonmagical trickery.

Flashy elemental spells are a threat to you, as are attacks focuses at your mind. Conjured threats are difficult for you to deal with. Foes who put much force behind their attacks are strong versus you.

//This ability would reveal 1/2 of all stats, as well as a 50% chance to reveal something about someone's ability, unless he manged to hook up with the dreamer, which would be a full scan of all stats and ability
On upgrade, this skill would be able to be used once per day and once per night, instead of only at night, provided the dreamer also gained a similar upgrade.

Necro-master

Spoiler :

Resurrection: You have the power to resurrect a single combatant. The process takes one day, which you must live for in entirety, and must find 2 assitants, one with +divine and one with +Nether. Upon resurrection, the target is granted a small amount of gold (500).

You posses strong mental powers, and you are skilled in the use of black magic. You are trained in armor use, and are able to guard against attacks.

Physically Strong foes are no threat to you, and neither are foes who are skilled in close combat. Weapon based attacks do not fair well versus you, and foes who look for opening are disappointed.

Holy magic sears your dark soul, and when faced with multiple opponents, you are confused. Quick opponents are difficult for you to deal with, and foes who guard versus your attacks confound you.

//Resurrection would permantely drain the +divine and +nether skills from both assistances, and would only work once. Each futher attempt would have been designed to lead the necromaster to belive it was based on luck, and would give him a generic -1 Weakness trait that would reduce his offence. An uprgrade would grant an additional resurection, this time without draining stats from the helpers.

Barbarian

Spoiler :

Bloodthirsty: Through rigorous training in offensive skills at the cost of defensive, you gains more attacks then the average combatant, but lacks the defensive capabilities of most of them. Your defensive type purchases are increased by 20% in cost.

You put much force behind you attacks, and you are skilled in a weapon. You are easily able to cross up for foes with your attacks, and you are abnormally quick. Blocking attacks is second nature to you, and you are able to take advantage of openings you foes provide you.

Ranged attacks do not fair well versus you, and you find close combat to lack effectiveness against you. Foes who rely on their supernatural regeneration also are easy for you to dispatch.

You are susceptible to mental attacks, as well as conjured threats. Foes who rely on an ally confound you, and you find it difficult to overcome a supernatural sense of danger.

//On upgrade, this player would recieve a 20% discount on attack type purchases, and negate the penatly on defense.

Dreamer

Spoiler :

Invade Mind: You may invade the mind of a target once per night. Filling them with horrid nightmares, they are shaken and cannot fight as well for the next day. You will also be able to obtain any scanner checks made by them during the following day.

Interpret Dreams: You can understand dreams better then anyone else.

You are skilled in the Dark Arts, and you easily cross your foes up with your attacks. You are skilled at taking advantage of openings left by you opponent, and you posses a supernatural awareness of danger.

Flashy elemental magic merely annoys you, while illusions fail to confound you. Armored foes fall before you, and you see through mundane deceptions.

Metal attacks are especially effective against you, as are attacks made from range. Foes who look for your openings fair well against you, and you find it difflicult to overcome a supernatural awareness.

//Invade mind granted the player a -1 to their battle total for 1 day (this was use on Nahkarma on night 1. Read Dreams was designed to be used in conjunction with the false prophet. On an upgrade, it would be -2 instead, and the scanner jacking would last for an additional 1/2 day (total 1.5 days)

Mutant

Spoiler :

Energy Drain: You may choose an attack type before the start of each of you matches. If the opponent has that attack type, you will steal it from him for the duration of the battle. If he does not have that attack type, you will suffer a penalty. You are also a bit weaker then a standard combatant.

You are skilled at close combat, and you are able to attack from a range. You regenerate your wounds at a supernatural speed.

Flashy Elemental magic doesn't faze you, and you are highly resistant to mental attacks. Transmutative effects do not harm you, and you are easily able to overcome a supernatural danger sense.

Dark Magic is a threat to you, and you do not fare well against more then one target. You are easily crossed up by confusing attacks, and you cannot cope easily with armor.

XElemental XPsionics XTransmutation XIntuition
-Nether -Synergy -Feint -Armor

//On upgrade, energy drain would grant the mutant an additional generic +2 to combat reguardless if sucessful, or +1 if not.

Risk Breaker

Spoiler :

Risk Breaker
Played by

Risk Taking: The Risk Breaker only loses 1/2 the normal amount of gold on bets, but must bet at least 1/4 of his total gold pool (gold worth, not net worth) each match. He also receives a 25% bonus to gold won through betting. Failure to bet will cost you 1/4 of your gold pool (not net worth, just gold on hand).
Once ever 3 days, before a combat, you may elect to "roll the die" in which case a die will be rolled, and an effect will take place depending on the dice roll. These effects ranged from a + or - to total combat score, to attack/defense shifts to other things.

I Stand Alone: The more teammates you have lost, the stronger you become passivly.

You are skilled at deceiving you foes, both with illusionary effects, and with mundane trickery. You are able to conjure threats, and you possess a supernatural sense of danger.

You are resistant to transmutative effects, and foes who try to cross you up are foiled. You adapt quickly and easily to overly fast foes, and foes who attempt to counter your attacks meet with no success.

Flashy elemental spells are difficult for you to deal with, as are dark magic effects. Close combat fighting is one of your weaknesses, and skilled weapon users are very dangerous to you.

-Elemental -Nether -Unarmed -Melee

//Roll the Die was an odd skill in design. 4 Dice were rolled, for each 1 rolled, the Risk Breaker would take a -1 to his total, and for each 6, he would be at plus one. After upgrade, this ability would increase to a roll of 1 or 2 as -1, and a 5 or 6 to +1. I stand alone actually made him weaker untill his teammates started to die off. It actually started off at -1, and after 2 deaths would change to +1, and each death on his team after that would grant +1 again to combat.

Holy Man

Spoiler :

Divine Justice: You are able, once every 3 days, to engulf the arena with a magic type you possess. Both combatants will be equally affected.

You have been granted divine favor, and you are skilled at confusing you foes with magic. You can conjure skillfully, and you have trained with a companion of some sort.

Conjured effects do not harm you, and you are able to effectively deal with more then one target. Foes who try to cross you up with their attacks fail, and you deal well with overly quick foes.

Foes skilled in close combat are difficult for you to deal with, as are foes who watch for your mistakes. You are easily fooled by mundane trickery, and you have a hard time keeping up with foes who regenerate their wounds.

//After Upgrade, this skill could be used every 2 days. It was used in the first fight of the game, as well as in the Mentors first fight.

Carrion Feeder

Spoiler :

Feed: You hunger. After each of your victories, you gain a passive bonus to your combats, which will fade in time.

You are skilled with the dark arts, and you are good with transmutative effects. You put much force behind you attacks, and you are effortlessly able to block attacks. You are also blessed with a supernatural rate of healing.

You are good vs. foes who attack from a distance, and foes who wear armor are not difficult for you. Foes who look for a weakness before attacking are disappointed by your style.

You are vulnerable to the holy arts, and are easily fooled by magic. You are weak against foes who use transmutative effects, and you cannot deal with more then one foe at a time well at all. Foes with a supernatural awareness of danger confound you.

The carrion feeder, after his first victory, would have been in trouble if he didnt keep winning. The bonus would fade away in a number of days equal to the 3 minus the bonus. This would llow him togo into negative power if he stopped fighting. After upgrade, the bonus would have become 1.5, and a day added before decay occured.

Overlord

Spoiler :

Influence: Your influence grants you several bonuses. Your are granted four extra secret votes. You also may once a week have the GM "confirm" something publicly, and every 3 days send a PM to a single foe (at GM's discresion).

You have a very powerful mental attack, and you are able to confused foes with magic. Transmutative effects are one of your strengths, and you are able to take advantage of any opening left for you attacks.

The dark arts have little effect on you, and you see clearly though illusions. Foes that try to dodge you attacks fare badly, and you are not easily crossed up by confusing attacks.

Flashy elemental spells are you downfall, and both close ranged and weapon based attacked are hard for you to defend against. Foes that are able to block you attacks are dangerous as well.

Shaman

Spoiler :

Aura Flux: You can make either yourself, or any other player, appear as an agent, or as an innocent to any attempts to scan them. This is limited to being in effect on one person at a time, and will remain in effect until u change it, which will switch at the end of the current cycle. Death will still reveal true Agent status or true innocence.

You are blessed with divine power, and fierce elemental Magics heed your call. You have power mental abilities, and you are skilled in the art of transmutation.

You resist conjured magic easily, and foes who try to cross you up fail. Those who rely on blocking you attacks, or trying to evade find themselves at your mercy.

Very strong opponents are hard for you to fight, as well as those skilled with a weapon. Fast opponents confuses you, and you find it difficult to overcome a supernatural danger sense.

Anamorphous State: Once every 3 days you may rotate a total of 3 skills between your attack types and defenses and weaknesses.

You are skilled are fooling your foes with illusions, and you can attack well from a distance. You have trained with some sort of companion, and you can fool your foes through non magical means as well.

Conjured magic is no threat to you, and foes that try to block your attacks meet with little success. You easily hit opponents who are hard to hit, and foes that rely on supernatural regeneration cannot keep up with you.

Transmutative effects are strong against you, and you find it hard to resist a skilled weapon user. Fast opponents are trouble, as are those who look for openings in your stance.

Spoiler :

Undeath: You are at a disadvantage at daytime combats, and at an advantage at night. You are also hard to distroy by nonmagical means. Should you be killed by a foe without a magic attack type, you will reform in several days, minus you gold.

You have powerful mental abilities, and you are able to transform yourself and the world around you. You have trained closely with a companions, and to regenerate your wounds.

Conjured magic is of no threat to you, and close ranged fighters are a cakewalk. Weapon based attacks, as well as abnormally strong foes are no cause for concern.

Foes that attack from range spell trouble for you, as do foes that cross you up with their attacks. Fast foes are your bane, as are foes that watch for openings before they attack.

Sadist

Spoiler :

Question: You once per day are able to determine of any combatant who has fought recently (last 2 game days) is an Agent of the Imperium or not. You may also each cycle ask a yes/no question about a single person that will be answers with either a yes, no, or irrelevant. (ie. Does the Dragon slayer have +melee? Also cannot be used to determine guilt) Also, if you manage to obtain the proper name of a power, you will learn what the power does. (ie, if someone tells you their power is named Kill, and you pm me with that name, if it is correct I will tell you what "Kill" does, but this takes the place of your question for the cycle.

You have been gifted with divine power, and you have been trained in the use of weapons. You wear armor, and are skilled at taking advantage of your foe's mistakes.

You see through illusions easily, and ranged attacks do not fare well against you. Foes who try to take advantage of your mistakes do not trouble you, and mundane trickery only amuses you.

Mental attacks are difficult for you to defend against,
and dark magics harm you. Foes who try to cross you up with their attacks meet with great success, and you find it difficult to penetrate a strong guard.

You resist mental attacks with ease, and foes who rely on close quarters fighting are at a disadvantage. You fight foes who attack from range well, and foes who regenerate their wounds find you tough to deal with.

Black magic cannot touch you, and you are not fooled my magic. Strong foes cannot overcome your defenses, and weapon based attacks do not faze you.

You resist both elemental and dark magic. Conjured threats are nothing to you, and weapon based skilled cannot break your defenses.

You can confuse your foes both with and without magic, and you cross foes up with your attacks. Ranged attacks are another forte of yours.

Transmutative magic does not effect you much, and melee attacks cannot harm you. Armored foes do not faze you, and your strikes evade a strong guard.

You are skilled at conjuring magics, and you attack from range easily. You are supernaturally fast, and your wounds heal at an extraordinary rate.

Holy magics do not harm you, and you resist transmutative effects. Armored foes pose no threat, and you are able to confuse foes who rely on a supernatural sixth sense.

Flashy elemental spells are a weakness of yours, and strong attacks pose a large threat. Multiple targets are hard for you, and you find evasive foes difficult to strike.

Mage Masher

Spoiler :

Silence: Disables public posting of a target for 1 cycle once per day. Also, once per 3 cycles (day night day or night day night) you can disable the magical attack type of any combatant. You cannot target one already slated to fight in the public vote, but u may target one in the Agent battles. This weakening lasts a single cycle, and may disable the ability of the target, if it requires a verbal element.p
A few notes about your power:
They do not lose their vote, all they can do is post a vote. They are not limited in responding to PMs, and that would be impossible to police anyways. Also, you will remain hidden while you use this power, unless the target possesses the "intuition" attack type. there will then be a 50% chance that you will be revealed to that person. Also, there is a chance on repeat uses on the same person that you will be caught.

You have been touched with Divine power, and you have strong mental abilities as well. You are skilled in close quarters combat, and you can cross your foes up with your attacks.

You are resistant to transmutative effects, and supernaturally fast foes cannot rely on their speed when facing you. You strike evasive foes without error, and you are not fooled by mundane trickery.

Flashy elemental spells are difficult for you to resist, and the dark arts have always been somewhat of a sore spot. Skilled weapon masters worry you, and you are also easily crossed up by a skilled foe.

You are resistant to holy magics, and you can combat more then one foe at the same time. Armor provides no defense from your attacks, and you strike evasive foes easily.

You do not deal well with conjured threats, and strong attacks are difficult for you to cope with. Fast foes confuse you, and you find it difficult to combat a supernatural sixth sense.

Illithid

Spoiler :

Devour Brain: The trademark mind flayer killing blow. You have developed the ability to harness the power of a devoured brain. When you kill someone in the arena, you may choose to take on one of their magical attack types, or non magical defenses. This becomes an innate part of your skill set for a few days.
Dominate person: Once per 3 days you can dominate a person, forcing them to vote in a matter of your choosing, as well as forcing them to post a single message.

You have strong mental powers, and you are very strong. You are skilled in close combat, and you are able to take advantage of openings your foes leave you.

You are highly resistant to mental attacks, and you see through deception, both magical and mundane. Foes cannot rely on a danger sense to combat you.

Instruction: You are able to 3 times change one character's natural attack type to any other attack type that they do not already possess. This is a permanent process. Also, once every 6 days, starting on the 6th day, you may gift a single attack or defense type to any player other then yourself, or you may grant a single weakness to a player of an attack type you do not possess.

Warlock

Spoiler :

Cabal Ritual: Each day you may choose a team. For each of those players that fights in the next cycle, you will be granted a passive generic bonus on your next battle. This power, is of course unusable day one, and your predictions must be in to me by the end of the night for the next day. If one of those players dies, you will be permanently granted a single attack and defense type of the deceased for the first time of each.
Entrap Soul: If you slay someone in combat, you will trap their soul with dark magics, and be granted their special ability for a number of days.

You are skilled at wielding both elemental and dark magics, and you have trained extensively with a pet.

You are good versus people who use weapons, and you can deal with multiple foes with ease. You find armor foes to be little match versus you.

Holy magic harms you, and you do not resist transmutative effects well. You cannot strike evasive foes well, and you do not deal enough damage to keep up with someone with supernatural regeneration.

Forsaken

Spoiler :

Anti-magic: Due to your "creation" due to highly magical means, you are extremely resistant to all magical abilities. You get a bonus in combat for each magical attack type your foe may, and abilities targets at you are only partially successful.

You are very strong, and are skilled in the use of armor. You can cross foes up with your attack, and you regenerate your wounds quickly.

You are highly resistant to elemental, divine, mental, and dark magic attacks.

You do not cope well with conjured threats, and transmutative effects are a threat. Ranged attacker, and foes who guard against you attacks are not easy for you to deal with.

[Izipo]

Thank you Tolis.
Lot of work you put in there.

So, Pinman was the assassin, but who were the Agents / Counter Agents ?

 

[Tolis]

i honestly dont remember and i have long since cleared those PMs.

The ones i know off hand

Catharsis, The Overlord, The Shaman and Backward Logic were agents

Chandrasehkar, Methos and sirtommygunn were the CAs

I may be missong someone tho.

 

[mythmonster2]

Shame this had to end. Well, it seems I would have died had I fought the were-beast, that stinks.

 

[Izipo]

So Rhein, what do you think of our fight-that-never-was ?

I had bought +Unarmed to match you Did you buy anything ?

 

[choxorn]

So, Kitto, your informant who knew other people's alignments was actually you?

This sounded like a well thought-out game that would have had some interesting results. The Warlock has the exact same stats as in Dissensions 1.

But on to other things, it looks like 3 different special abilities (if you count KittoKittoAsa's) were used on the first fight. The Illithid seems to have used his exactly once, to change Catharsis's vote at some point. Vampyre vs. Were-Beast would have been interesting with their special abilites- The Vampyre would ressurect if he lost, and get his stats changed to the Were-Beast if he won.

Hey, how would we have gotten upgraded abilities?

 

[Tasslehoff]

I was also an Agent. My ability was awesome, and probably overpowered. Since, as an Agent, I got to choose the fight, I would know all four of the combatants for the next day, which accumulated to massive 'passive bonuses' by cabal ritual, and I also had won an attack and defense type.

 

[Catharsis]

The Warlock has the exact same stats as in Dissensions 1.

We noticed that. Nahkarma's ability was quite similar to Martyr Brisingamen's, as well. Attempts to capitalise on this didn't lead to much, however (AFAIK).

It's worth adding that, like in the original Dissensions, there were a few people we couldn't let die - BananaLee and Charles Li were two, but more importantly, we weren't allowed to see PINMAN die (assassin!) or KITTO (the prophet!). You evil so-and-so, Tolis.

Anyway, good game. Sorry for losing interest towards the end. (And also to my various allies, both Agent and innocent, for my being utterly inept. What's been proved, here and in the last Dissensions, is that I suck at being mafia. )

 

[Renata]

And here I was just coming around to suspecting you, Catharsis, after protesting your innocence for most of the game. I can't for the life of me remember what made me change my mind, though.

Did the counter-agents, agents and assassin know what their victory conditions were? (Figures I had one of each among the people I was talking to.) The innocents were blind to that; I'm not sure how that would have worked out.

I stink as an innocent. Can I be a mafia again next time?

 

[Chandrasekhar]

Did the counter-agents, agents and assassin know what their victory conditions were?

No, as far as we counter agents were told, our objective was just to kill the agents.

 

[Renata]

That could have been very strange. Methos kept pushing to have a Candle of Truth used on him -- he says he would have made a statement along the lines that your goal was for the innocents to win. I would definitely have tried to accomplish that had the game not stalled and left me in limbo: you three were half of the coalition kittokittoasa's scans were building, after all, and that could have settled the trust issue once and for all. But how would it have come out? As true or as false?

I'd also like to know the rationale behind the "agent battle" choices.

 

[Rheinmetall]

So Rhein, what do you think of our fight-that-never-was ?

I had bought +Unarmed to match you Did you buy anything ?

I bought +Elemental, before I even knew your weaknesses. After Catharsis told me of your weaknesses, I figured I might have a chance to beat you.

I was intentionally keeping low profile, but sadly it's a two edged sword. I remain unnoticed by most, but some might start to think that I'm not playing or have lost interest, which was not the case.

 

[Catharsis]

Ah, the Candle of Truth. I was considering proposing some sort of mass CoT-bluff for the second week (basically, PM a load of players who might not be in regular contact with others and ask them to PM back 'I am not an Agent' or something like that). That blatantly wouldn't have worked, or fooled anyone, but I was chaotic-evil, so that didn't matter.

As for the Agent battles: a lot of them were set up to accommodate Tasslehoff's rather awesome ability. (Although it seems as though tailless's ability was even more awesome. I didn't know about it!) The secondary reasoning was to get rid of threatening players (that might be in the 'giant secret PM-cabal' I kept raving about) as well as killfire (contrary to what appeared to be the opinion at the time, we didn't know about the Necro-Master's ability beforehand - it was a guess).

 

[Ekolite]

(that might be in the 'giant secret PM-cabal' I kept raving about)

Heh, is that why I was chosen? It turned out that most of my contacts were agents/assassins/whatever anyway lol.
