The NOTW Information Thread

[NinjaCow64]

Oh man, I'm so going to play this one.

Seconded.

 

[Autolycus]

I'd wait for jarrema's to finish, or at least get well in progress.

 

[Backwards Logic]

I have a finished rule set and stuf for a NOTW on The Tower of Cirith Ungol ( http://lotr.wikia.com/wiki/Tower_of_Cirith_Ungol). Should I wait for Jarremma's NOTW to end before I start this one?

Technically the people in front of you have 'dibs' on the next game, but assuming none of them can go within the next two weeks or so, you could definitely open signups. Rule of thumb is sign-ups can open for the next game once the one in progress is roughly halfway through.

Umm....Bad new is that my Winter break ends in < a week. After that its back to a very rigorous schedual so my NOTW is put off until spring break.

I am looking for players wanting to be reserve/replacement for my Holy Crusade: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=484176

 

[Optical]

I've decided on a name for my NOTW:

NOTW: The Roots Run Deep

It'll be traditional NOTW, Khazad being the setting.

 

[Takhisis]

I'd prefer Klatch, but, well&#8230;

 

[Jarrema]

I am looking for replacements in my Holy Crusade NOTW
If you are willing, please PM me and you will replace one of inactives at random (or NinjaCow, if he feels really bad)

 

[Buddhafish]

I am announcing a new NOTW that I will host sometime in the future.

NOTW: Where the Streets Have No Name

Spoiler Summary :

[MESSAGE INCOMING]

[TRANSMISSION START]

CLASSIFICATION: TOP SECRET--FOR EYES ONLY

OPERATION DESERT NIGHT

JULY 4, 2020

NEAR ********, SOUTH SUDAN


Soldiers of the United States and Great Britain,

This joint American and British Special Forces group (ABSF) has one task: Secure the town of ********. You are hereby authorized to use any means necessary to obtain this objective. If anyone, native to the area or otherwise, attempts to impede you from completing your objective, you are authorized to expel them from the area, using any and all means that you deem necessary.

This objective is key to the continued war effort in Iran. This war is in your hands.

Secure the objective. Report back when completed.

General *****, US/UK Joint Council for Military Operations

[END TRANSMISSION]

-------------------------------------------------------

Dear Joseph,

The town you spoke of is here. There is no sight of any human activity in the immediate area. We will move to secure it and its precious resources within the week. If there is half as much here as you say there is the Iranians will make us richer than kings!

We did run into a local elder from a village about 2 kilometers to the southwest on our way here. He told us of some interesting occurances at the town. Apparently it has been abandoned for 70 years, and anyone that has stepped near it since then has never returned. He babbled on about angels, hellwarriors, and sand beasts. He was a crazy old man. You know that I am not afraid brother, but I did take the precaution of not telling my men, as some of the are highly superstitious.

I will write back when we complete the objective.

Your Brother,
Siambi

------------------------------------------

This game will involve a map, with ABSF and Congolese Mercenary zones and neutral zones. The lynch will be a duel between the nominated ranks of each side. At night, people will choose where they want to go, and depending on the buildings they visit and the risk they take they will get weighted rewards.

Each player will have weapons specialties, with short range, long range, and melee weapons. There will be many specialty roles, and many abilities, as well as items for players to collect.

The setting is an abandoned African town in South Sudan. There are supposedly massive amounts of war-related resources underneath the town. There is something odd about it however...

MOST IMPORTANTLY:

Spoiler :

Death, is only the beginning.

 

[JohannaK]

Cool!

 

[Autolycus]

No new NoTWs in a while makes autolycus sad. Will host one himself starting in Mid-June if no one else has started sign-ups by then. Would host sooner, but going on trips over-seas.

 

[Dreadnought]

I can get mine up in running in a couple weeks. I just need to finish some plot points.

 

[Optical]

Change my game to Werewolf: Pratchett Edition. I might run The Rots Run Deep as a m-NOTW at some point, though.

 

[Dreadnought]

My game is more or less ready. Depending on circumstances, I could mobilize it if need be.

 

[Backwards Logic]

My game is more or less ready. Depending on circumstances, I could mobilize it if need be.

It's entirely up to you. Not only have we not had a NOTW in forever, mafia in general hasn't had any sign-ups in some time also. Since the 'order' of hosting NOTW's at this point is basically worthless, I don't see any reasons why you couldn't host one.

 

[SouthernKing]

If Dreadnought hosts now, I can have my game ready for after his. If he doesn't, I can start about two weeks or so from now.

 

[classical_hero]

You have a large game coming up.

 

[Dreadnought]

I had some technical issues the past few days, but should be ready for signups. Thank you all for your patience.

 

[Dreadnought]

Signups opening today!

 

[Autolycus]

I will host a 20+ person NOTW/MNOTW called The Great Divide at some point in the future. It could be sooner it could be later, based on the needs of the community.
