The NOTW Information Thread

[Autolycus]

It looks like you're up civplayah. I look forward to seeing what you have concocted for us.

 

[civplayah]

Concocted. . Sprig appears to be MIA. But I can manage.

 

[Diamondeye]

Also I'd like to attract attention to the fact that MNOTW VIII signups are open. We're still needing half a dozen players.

civplayah seems to have missed advertising his game here The signup thread is here: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=356244

 

[civplayah]

Thank you. I still need nine players.

I'd like to host a Mini-Mafia game starting around April 1st.

edit: This should probably go in the other forum games thread...

 

[Backwards Logic]

I would like to be put down for a twenty player experimental type game. Title is something along the lines of Sparks of Despair

It's a work in progress but should be playable sometime within the next few months.

I was going through the thread to see if I missed anything, and alas, I did. CCRunner - with 20 players and quote 'experimental,' would you like to run this as a Mini-NOTW after DE's? Or is that too soon?

 

[Diamondeye]

I believe Winston wanted in just after me, perhaps the two of them should talk together.

 

[Winston Hughes]

The full NotW I have been planning has gone back to the drawing board for what must be the eighth or ninth time. The central idea remains the same, but I can't seem to find secondary game mechanics (things like player abilities) that fit with it in a convincing and balanced manner.

However, I was able to turn one of the discarded ideas for that game into a 12-player mini-NotW, which I could have ready to go at a few days notice. The setting will be an ancient tomb buried deep in the desert, into which a group of treasure hunters set forth in search of long-lost riches.

 

[CCRunner]

Winston may take his turn before me since he claimed a spot before me I believe

Hey, everyone, sign up for civplayah's NOTW and Earthling's Mafia Game, we need more players. Please?

 

[Zack]

Especially Earthling's game, due to sheer size.

chox, I've touched up the backgrounds, but I can't send you the file right now because I'm on vacation and I'm away from the computer the files are saved on. I'll add some more stuff when I get home tomorrow, and I'll send it to ya Monday morning.

 

[choxorn]

Thanks, it's much appreciated. I'll work on thinking up some more stuff in the meantime, after I dig myself out of the mountain of homework I'm buried under.

I am currently designing a game entitled Night of the Mindworms, centered around the world of Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri. It will feature 29 players. Similar to the M-NotW "Court of the Momus," there will be no innocent faction. You will simply be on a team with yourself and your mason against the world.

Also included are:
Fation-wide Ecology ratings- How good you are to Planet
Faction abilities- In addition to regular abilities, every team has a powerful one-time faction ability. It takes two nights, (during which you can't use individual abilities) but it is worth it to use it.
Currency- Some abilities will cost you.

 

[civplayah]

Ooh at the above.

 

[Winston Hughes]

Sounds like a very cool idea, Landlubber.

 

[TheForestAuro]

Seems like the hip thing to do these days

 

[civplayah]

Don't forget to put landlubber's NotW on the OP.

 

[LightFang]

Mini-NOTW III - LightFang

I still have the ideas bouncing around my head and to the best of my limited knowledge my particular implementation hasn't been done yet, but we'll see! I was thinking as rehosting this as a Mafia game to make life easier for me since I'm lazy (you all know this already) and I don't want to look up FfH information. Still, even just talk of hosting is really speculative for now, so.

 

[Bad Player]

Some NotW games aren't based around FFH at all!!
