Simpsons Mafia (Large Game September) [Sign-ups]

[Visorslash]

I want an awesome 0 post count.

(But with PMs.)

Anyway, don't care about player limit, just here so this place doesn't die, as I hear it is so often.

 

[choxorn]

We thank both of you for helping us not die.

While you're at it, see if you can get some of the guys who've died in Capo to come over here.

 

[Earthling]

Yes, we definitely had enough signups now so preparing for the start.

I checked and it seems everyone who registered recently already found the thread to ask for PMs, if not GMs are happy to help, welcome and thanks for signing up.

Everyone who has time could look over and ask any last questions on the rules though of course we'll be ready and anticipate questions when you get your roles.

Anybody else who's been interested and waffling, the last call for signups is going out - we could take a few more or not in the next couple of days, good either way.

Robbiecon and I will have to double check but thinking we could start either Friday or Saturday.

If the game thread opens Friday we'd probably have a 72 hour first day anyway (so that's through the weekend) for everybody to catch up.

Other lingering questions:

Spoiler :

When does the game end? When all the "Mafia" are in jail? Or in hospital? Or when certain conditions are met?

The Innocent or Town victory condition is public, you can see the sample role PM and this here:

The townie VC is to eliminate all threats to the town. Survival does not contribute to players’ victories unless specified as part of your character’s goals. Note that players in the hospital or the jail at the end of the game are not counted as surviving for the purposes of victories or elimination, unless other specified.

In practical terms, the main focus of the town players is eliminating the Mafia, and putting them in jail or hospitalized accomplishes this.

Any other factions' victory conditions will only be made known to the appropriate players.

If anyone who has signed up recently does not actually get their PMs activated, let me know and I'll help poke the admins for you. They aren't always quick... Or, in a pinch it's usually OK to use other forms of communication (like org PMs or email) unless the game host specifies otherwise. Though of course it's much easier to send messages on the same site the game is played on.

::Raises hand:: That's me! I posted in that thread for requesting PMs, made sure I had at least 5 posts.... I'm not sure if there is a time restriction too... but if so, then I guess I'll have to wait? I wish the process to get PMs was posted somewhere directly visible to newly registered members...

I just remembered that I'm not going to have internet access this weekend. (I know, great timing.) So I will vote early and abstain.

If we are going to have 72 hour day, I will probably be able to participate in the night. If it would be helpful to you to give me a role PM early, I'll be happy with that too.

Hi everyone again, thanks to those who have joined from elsewhere.

I haven't been online to update the list in a week, as I haven't had internet. However today I got a wireless dongle, I don't know how good it is though.

I did not wish to start until I was certain that I could make updates, pretty much on time, but I hopefully should be ok now. I'll add those who have since joined to the player list.

 

[robbiecon]

In addition, while the 34 player count does minimize some things, it is still quite possible to begin with this.

Also, some replacements would be nice.

 

[GamezRule]

Let's try to lure some of the people dying in Capo before starting. I really want this game to have a full roster.

 

[robbiecon]

That's not a bad idea GamezRule, and I would like to have a full roster.

 

[RRRaskolnikov]

Shameless Advertising always pays off Choxorn. In! (at your own expense)

 

[Earthling]

Think we're at the point of closing signups but reserves are still welcome. When Role PMs go out players are asked not to discuss the game with other parties until the game thread opens. And first day should last 48 hours until sometime Tuesday.

 

[robbiecon]

Thanks RRRaskolnikov, I can start some background administration on the train this evening, given that I have net (and it works pretty well)

 

[Turquoiside]

I'll sign on as a reserve.

 

[DaveShack]

Is this an "everyone gets a role PM" game? I'd think so but wanted to confirm...

Let's try to lure some of the people dying in Capo before starting. I really want this game to have a full roster.

I guess 100 players were too much to handle?

 

[BigTin]

Everyone will have a Role PM.

Someone asked the same question earlier DaveShack and this was Earthling's answer.

 

[Earthling]

robbiecon has had some Internet difficulties as he mentioned, but don't want to keep you guys waiting forever. We'll probably need a little more adjustments and maybe mod help on construction of the game thread (if robbiecon wants posts of his own reserved for updates) but that can be worked out later.

Role randomization and PMs are being done now and the first day will still be 48 hours, thanks for the patience everyone.

Good luck to everyone!

Role PMs should all be out. Game thread to be opened soon
