Snakes & Foxes 3: The ****oo's Nest

[Chandrasekhar]

Also, maybe Chandrasekhar can shed more light on this, but isn't Snakes and Foxes a spin-off of Unser's Doppleganger Dungeon?

*Puts on history teacher glasses*

It was definitely influenced by it. Originally, Unser Giftzwerg made Doppleganger Dungeon as a sort of cooperative adventure, where the adventuring party would vote on the best course of action, with their unique abilities and attributes. In the final version, there was to be some dops among the party who would try to get everyone killed, by using their advance knowledge of the dungeon's monsters and traps.

The other main influence was Xuenay's NotW VI, which introduced the concept of player wealth. In that game, it influenced votes, but Snakes and Foxes was the first to include an item purchasing system. I believe Snakes and Foxes was also the first game here to include directly competetive mafia groups.

I love how something as small as "CFC Forum Games" can have such a rich history... I really hope we can get those old games back, as the Google caches are very limited.

Sorry, but they're gone for good, according to how I understand it.

 

[CCRunner]

In. I'll be the raider I guess

 

[rhawn]

I'd like the Ritualist.

 

[Tasslehoff]

I'll take the Shaman.

So your 5 abilities and 5 weaknesses and 5 resistances will just be 5 things from that list? Are purchases public? Do the participants start with the same amount of gold?

Yes, 5 things from that list. No, purchases are not public. Yes, participants start with the same gold, unless they for some reason (which won't be public) have a special reason not to (and then the extra gold will not show in the public listing either).

 

[Angst]

I'd approve of the Centaur, dear OP. Are our strengths/weaknesses/resistances selectable or are we prematurely decided?

 

[Nictel]

Minotaur for me.

 

[Niklas]

Welcome onboard! Starting abilities and resistances/weaknesses are all predetermined.

Welcome aboard - 2/3 of the positions filled in just under 14 hours.

 

[ZPV]

No "shamless plugger" role? I'll be the Illusionist, then.

 

[KingMorgan]

Druid would be fitting for me.

 

[RRRaskolnikov]

Druid would be fitting for me.

Is it you, Panoramix?

 

[Kulko]

I take the Lizard.

 

[Niklas]

Welcome aboard, 1/4 of the spaces left for grabbing! I can't help but wonder what people have against the priests.
