WW CXXIV: When Worlds Collide - Game Over!

[Danny]

Background:
During an FOFC werewolf players get together, a freak happening occurs and real and fictional worlds collide! Fictional characters ally with those at the meeting and an all out war starts. It is then found out that a Magic Rune has caused this chaos. We control this rune, we control the world. Most of us have grown accustomed to and corrupted b y the power of the crystal and wish for things to stay in chaos and continue to rule this new world. However, there are a select few who have avoided corruption and wish to restore things to normal. Each player in the game commands his characters into this new world. There are also characters not aligned with anyone that simply want chaos or take power from us.

Factions:
Players: 20+ (hopefully)
Good/Werewolves: Those corrupted by this new world
Evil/Villagers: Those wanting to restore things to normal
Others: those who don't neatly fit under the other two categories

During sign-ups, each player selects a real/fictional character or collection of characters. that they would like to play during this game. The moderator has the right to refuse a selection, but will try to accommodate any reasonable selection. The moderator will assign roles/powers prior to the start of the game.

The game begins with everyone publicly accustomed to this new world and vying for its power. Secretly, some wish to destroy the crystal and restore things to normal. Characters are well known to all players - these are public roles. Each player has a private role that includes powers, health, energy, and win conditions (if different from overall group)

Win Conditions:
Majority (“Bad”) Make sure that the crystal is protected and this new world remains. By defeating all of the “werewolves” they become assured this new world will remain.
Minority ("Good"): Destroy the crystal. This is done by obtaining a 1:1 ratio with the “Villagers” which allows them to overthrow them and destroy the crystal.

Characters:
Each character will be assigned a set of powers, as well as ratings for Health and Energy.
Health - how much damage a character can sustain before they are killed
Attack – The characters default attack value
Defense- The characters default defense value
Powers - these will differ from character to character and not all characters will necessarily have powers. Based on the character, some characters will be inherently more powerful than others. Each character will have a Standard Attack, and Standard Defense,

Powers:
Expect that there will be some duplicate powers, depending on character selection but a ton of unique powers as well. Powers should be a reflection of the character, but likely will not be an exact representation. In rare cases different powers have been assigned. This is done for both game balance and to introduce some elements of unpredictability in the game.

Recovery:
All characters 1 health per day unless otherwise noted. Health cannot exceed the starting value.

Deadlines:
Day ends at 9PM CST
Night ends at 8AM CST

Day Cycle:
Each day players issue a "Standard Attack" - this is the equivalent of "voting". Each character declares their attack and their target in the thread - use caps and bold at the bottom of your post to declare this. Attacks can be changed or revoked by unattacking and making a new attack up until deadline.

Only one attack can be issued per day, per character (although if an attack is revoked, another attack can be initiated in its place). Players with multiple characters may attack separate characters. A player may still use a special attack in addition to their standard attack.

In addition, every day additional fictional characters will become available for you to fight or interact with. At the beginning of the phase these characters will be posted. Each character will have a reward players can receive for defeating them or by interacting with them. But be careful, those with more powerful rewards may be tougher to defeat or interact with and cause you to take damage and leave yourself more vulnerable to a lynch! Additionally, some with seemingly weaker rewards may prove valuable in interacting with future foes! Which fictional character you want to go visit is to be sent via private message to myself by the day deadline. These fights will be posted with flavor throughout the day if possible, but the rewards/cost will not take effect until the day deadline is processed

Lynch (End of Day Cycle):
At the end of the Day cycle, each character suffers damage according to the amount of attack power used against them – their defense rating. Because of this, it is possible for there to be no death or several deaths in any given day.

Attacking with all characters is necessary! If you do not get your attacks in, the characters you control will attack a random character! (could even be a teammate)

Players will likely not have complete information on damage delivered by attacks over the course of the day, but the end of day recap will include the total amount of damage delivered to each character. Note that this amount will often differ from the amount of damage sustained by the players as it does not factor in their defense rating. The recap will also include the player who executed the "kill shot". Character faction will be revealed upon death.

Night Cycle:
Many characters will have powers that can be used during the Night Cycle. This includes the "minority" force, which have the option to execute night attacks. During the night, the players who control the rune and their characters are vulnerable. Each night attack is made on a player and not on their characters. Thus, after someone is night killed, it is possible that their characters join forces with another player due to a special ability. Players may be able to impact the night kill through use of powers Below is the order for night actions.

Order of Night Actions:
1. Defense actions
2. Research actions
3. Attack actions


Additional Game Notes:
1. No editing posts
2. Character powers will take precedence over any rules posted in this thread. The rules here are meant to apply to the majority, but in some cases may not apply to a small minority
3. Playing in character(s) is highly encouraged. The moderator reserves the right to reward players for especially good role play, either publicly or privately.
4. If a character is driven below 25% of their health, but still lives into the next day, they will be listed hurt (rounding up) heading into the night cycle. Regular healing will take place at that time.

I may do some minor reworking of the rules, but here they are from last time. When you sign up, you may post the character / characters you want. Please get these to me as soon as you can so I can work on it while Dark Knight is still going on.

[CrimsonFox]

IN!

[CrimsonFox]

Collide has two L's

[Danny]

The collision destroyed one of them :)

[CrimsonFox]

Whoa.

[Tyrith]

So we can really choose just about anything?

[Danny]

Yes, I'll work with pretty much anything. The one exception would be a prominent religious figure. I'm not overly superstitious, but I am Christian, so I wouldn't feel comfortable putting in the things I plan with say someone having Jesus as a character.

[Tyrith]

Yes, I'll work with pretty much anything. The one exception would be a prominent religious figure. I'm not overly superstitious, but I am Christian, so I wouldn't feel comfortable putting in the things I plan with say someone having Jesus as a character.

I completely agree with that stance. I'll have to think about my choice for a bit.

[Autumn]

I'm in, not sure on a character yet.

[mauchow]

In. I'll have to read the description about five more times. :)

[JAG]

In.

Character: Melisandre of Asshai.

[Autumn]

In.

Character: Melisandre of Asshai.

Hot.

[Danny]

Keep in mind if you guys have ideas for abilities, feel free to message with me to work it out and come up with something. In general, I am thinking two abilities for most people, but it could be less or more based on the power of an ability.

[Danny]

And again, it's possible to choose more than one character when they are a team or when they may be on the weaker side.

[The Jackal]

In.

Kaiser Soze.

[The Jackal]

Or Keyser Soze, it's late and I think I got the spelling wrong there.

[Danny]

You don't want to be Kaiser Permanente?

[Danny]

Or Kaiser Roll?

[JAG]

Von Kaiser?

[mckerney]

Caesar?

[mckerney]

In.

Heavy.

[Darth Vilus]

In. Character comes later

[Narcizo]

In - torn between Artemis Fowl and companions or Skullduggery Pleasant and companions or Lyra Whatsername from Northern Lights. Because I'm into "intelligent" children's books at the moment. And I feel like my geek-rating needs polishing a bit more.

[Zinto]

I love Artemis Fowl.

I am in but I am not sure what character I want to be yet.

[Narcizo]

Problem with Artemis Fowl is that he's a genius which is kind of hard to play, unless you're a genius. I've thought of a cunning get-round though.

[Narcizo]

Just saw the end of night phase time. I love you Danny. And all you stand for.


Urm ... in a manly way, of course.

[Narcizo]

I'll go for Artemis Fowl and some companions then. PM you the stuff Danny.

[mckerney]

I had thought of going with Gordon Freeman, but to play in character I'd have to not post.

[CrimsonFox]

The Mad Hatter's Teaparty:
The Mad hatter
The March Hare
The Dormouse

(from Alice in Wonderland)

[Danny]

Since someone asked via PM, this is how health, damage and defense will work.

A character takes all damage received over his defense.

Let's say Joker has 8 health, 3 damage and 3 defense. A total of four people vote for him, each with 3 damage, so he would sustain 12 total damage before defense. He has 3 defense, so his total damage taken is everything over 3, so in this case 9 damage. Since he only has 8 health, he would be killed.

[JAG]

I love the character mix thus far.

[Danny]

They'll likely be at least 5 various fictional characters / teams of characters appearing every day as well. Who knows, you might even be able to recruit the help of some of them! Or have to defeat them.

[Autumn]

I will play The Muppets!

[Barkeep49]

In - torn between Artemis Fowl and companions or Skullduggery Pleasant and companions or Lyra Whatsername from Northern Lights. Because I'm into "intelligent" children's books at the moment. And I feel like my geek-rating needs polishing a bit more.

Awesome choices, especially Skullduggery who isn't as well known as the other two. I think though I might have to lean towards Artemis especially cause I think Colfer's a very gifted writer.

[Barkeep49]

I'm in. Seriously considering Omar from the Wire but don't know that I could role play that level of badass.

[CrimsonFox]

woohoo I get two spots on the list!

[Narcizo]

Woo! Barkeep is in. :)

[Narcizo]

Oh and Omar would rock.

[The Jackal]

In.

Character: Melisandre of Asshai.

I -just- started reading Clash of Kings. Guess she's going to be a character that sticks around. ;)

[Tyrith]

I've thought about this for a while, and I just decided to go with the first thing that popped into my head. So I'll play Vice Admiral Horatio Viscount Nelson, of the British Navy. Can't be Lord Nelson, since the lordship was awarded posthumously and I'd rather not play re-animated Admiral Nelson.

[JAG]

I -just- started reading Clash of Kings. Guess she's going to be a character that sticks around. ;)

No comment. Wouldn't want to spoil it one way or another for you (also just learned that Danny will be starting to read the books as well).

By the way, love the choice of Keyser Soze.

[Narcizo]

Come on! A zombie Nelson would rock!

[Tyrith]

Much less fun to roleplay when half your posts have to be random moaning and growling noises. :P If I was someone else in the game I'd shoot me just to get me to shut up.

I also feel like the Muppets should have a hidden dark side of some sort. Muppets with assault rifles, or something like that. This game has so much twisted potential.

[Narcizo]

Aye, I'd be pretty scared of evil muppets.

[Tyrith]

WWCXXV: Muppets from HELL

[The Jackal]

By the way, love the choice of Keyser Soze.

Thanks. Usual Suspects has been my favorite movie since the first time I saw it, which was probably in '97 or so.

[Lathum]

Way to busy to play in a game like this. Hope everyone has fun, PM me when we play a vanilla game.

[CrimsonFox]

WWCXXV: Muppets from HELL


nice. Dirty Harry would be really good in this game.

[Abe Sargent]

I can play, but I won't be nearly as visible/vocal as I've been in the last few games, due to massive workloads that come my way starting next week.

[Autumn]

Hidden dark side? Hidden? Frogs laying with pigs. A crazed berserker musician. A scientist who tortures his assistant. A mutant named Gonzo. We're already there.

[Abe Sargent]

Could I do, Women in Myth that are Treated Poorly:

Medea
Brynhildr
Lilith


I'm also thinking of others, but is that trio too powerful? A warrioress, a sorceress and a vampire?

[Barkeep49]

Ok I'm going to a different direction and choose to be the Goddess of Wisdom and War - Athena.

[Danny]

Could I do, Women in Myth that are Treated Poorly:

Hmm, might be a bit powerful, but might be ok.

[CrimsonFox]

Aye, I'd be pretty scared of evil muppets.

This is how you tell which is which.

3084

[Schmidty]

HULK PLAY!!!

[Tyrith]

Haha, I knew when it said you had responded that's what you were going to do.

[Tyrith]

BTW, the saddest I've ever been as a WW GM was when The Hulk got mind controlled and the wolves suicided him during Marvel 2.

[Autumn]

The saddest I've ever been as a WW player is when Dr. Doom got zapped by a time gun and sent into the future by Kang the Conqueror.

[Autumn]

The happiest I've been is when The Hulk smashed my Doombot. ha ha ha ha

[hoopsguy]

Awaiting a call today that will go a long ways towards determining in/out for this game.

[Zinto]

You can call me assistant manger Dwight Schrute!

[The Jackal]

You can call me assistant manger Dwight Schrute!

haha i like it.

[The Jackal]

BTW, the saddest I've ever been as a WW GM was when The Hulk got mind controlled and the wolves suicided him during Marvel 2.

Did I mind control him too?!

[Tyrith]

I don't even really remember who was what in that game, except for Mr. Hulk over there.

[Danny]

Did I mind control him too?!

No that was a wolf ability, you mind controlled me. And now that I remember, except evil things to happen to you in this game.

[MrBug708]

Might be too confusing for me

[Danny]

Might be too confusing for me

It's simple, especially if you choose one character. You attack (lynch vote) with your character) and optionally send your character out to interact with one of the characters from the day

[The Jackal]

No that was a wolf ability, you mind controlled me. And now that I remember, except evil things to happen to you in this game.

I mind controlled three people I think. You, Pass (who was scarlet witch and therefore shared control with me) and someone else. Now I forget who. :)

[Danny]

Whoever played nightcrawler right?

[Danny]

You can call me assistant manger Dwight Schrute!

Since I'm a fan of Dwight, I think he sustained some radiation during the collision and gained some superhuman powers.

[Darth Vilus]

i don't know who have these people are lol

[Danny]

It's simple, especially if you choose one character. You attack (lynch vote) with your character) and optionally send your character out to interact with one of the characters from the day

You might have some abilities, but if someone thinks they will be less active, we can PM to work out something simple, maybe even passive abilities so you don't have to worry about it.

[Autumn]

I'm disappointed no one has taken Chuck Norris.

[Darth Vilus]

Chuck is too strong

[Danny]

I still need character from Tyrith and Darth. I think we'll be able to still get 20 signups hopefully. I'll probably send out some PM's in the next day or two. If someone wants though, you're free to run a small game while all of this gets finalized.

[Danny]

If no one takes him, you can bet he'll be making an appearance :)

[Tyrith]

I put up my character on the last page :P

[Danny]

So you did, just missing DV then. You can still change your character up until the point in which I lock signups. Hopefully too many people don't change though.

[Darth Vilus]

i'll be Zero from the Mega Man X series. If he won't be strong enough then I'll Be Zero and Mega Man X

[hoopsguy]

I'm disappointed no one has taken Chuck Norris.

Chuck is too strong

If no one takes him, you can bet he'll be making an appearance :)

Chuck has previously graced FOFC WW games with his presence - the first one I ever ran as a mod :)

Too lazy to look it up, but I believe it was called "The Way of the Colt" or something along those lines.

[Narcizo]

Butler could take out Chuck Norris.

[J23]

I'm in.

I'll be the Most Interesting Man in the World.

I must warn you, I've won trophies for my game face alone.

[Abe Sargent]

Chuck Norris is too real for this game.

[hoopsguy]

I'm in.

I'll be the Most Interesting Man in the World.

I must warn you, I've won trophies for my game face alone.

Winner.

[spleen1015]

Can I play and be Harry Potter, Hermione Granger & Ron Weasley?

[Autumn]

I'm in.

I'll be the Most Interesting Man in the World.

I must warn you, I've won trophies for my game face alone.

Had to Google this one. Pretty funny.

[hoopsguy]

Had to Google this one. Pretty funny.

Either this is a regional thing or you don't get out much :lol:

[Narcizo]

Had to Google this one. Pretty funny.

Me too. But I literally have an ocean of excuse.

[Lathum]

when does this start?

[Autumn]

I think the problem is I get out too much. ;-) We don't get actually get any TV so I don't see commercials.

[Danny]

Can I play and be Harry Potter, Hermione Granger & Ron Weasley?

Sure!

[Danny]

when does this start?

Honestly, it probably won't start until late next week or more likely the beginning of the following week (to avoid losing momentum early in the game)

[spleen1015]

Honestly, it probably won't start until late next week or more likely the beginning of the following week (to avoid losing momentum early in the game)

I may have to bow out this time then. I am going on vacation starting 6/24 for about 12 days and this will be furthest from my mind. Maybe I will join the next game.

[Danny]

Boo, ok

[Lathum]

ahh, I'm leaving for England on the 25th

[Narcizo]

ahh, I'm leaving for England on the 25th

Where in England are you going Lathum? I'm taking the kiddies to London for their first time on 4th July - really looking forward to it. My seven-year old son is really excited about seeing the dinosaurs at the Natural History Museum.

[Narcizo]

If Lathum and Spleen are interested any chance of an earlier start to accomodate them?

[hoopsguy]

Or someone running a small game to run Mon - Fri of next week?

[Danny]

I'd recommend the small game, I don't think I can get the signups we need and everything configured in time for them to make sure they can play.

[Lathum]

Where in England are you going Lathum? I'm taking the kiddies to London for their first time on 4th July - really looking forward to it. My seven-year old son is really excited about seeing the dinosaurs at the Natural History Museum.

We will be in London for 4 days,then will be going to the countryside for my Sister in LAws wedding. We fly home on the 4th, if I see you in the airport I'll say hi!

[dubb93]

in

[dubb93]

I choose my stable......

http://i799.photobucket.com/albums/yy279/dubb93/The_Mega_Powers.jpg

The Mega Powers - "Macho Man" Randy Savage, Hulk Hogan and Miss Elizabeth.

[Abe Sargent]

I'm going to have to wwithdraw, sorry. The University clesed earlyer yestreay and closed today, adw ehn I come back on Mon, I have a ton of extra work to do sa a result - n time next week for gaming sorrys.

[Danny]

Are you sure Abe? The game likely won't start for another 10 days, so perhaps you could play then?

[Abe Sargent]

Yes please. It's going to have a ripple effect for a while at work. I was on vacation, so I have more to do, then add it, then add my normal stuff, etc.

[hoopsguy]

I'm not going to be able to sign up for this one - I got the job offer I've been chasing. That is great news personally, but it means I'll be around here a lot less often for a few months at least.

[Danny]

Congrats! Perhaps there will be a Hoopsguy character that people can interact with in the game (though really if we don't get more signups, I'll likely have to change the game again).

[CrimsonFox]

hoops, you have a lot to learn about losing a job. They are supposed to catch you surfing on FOFC all day and fire you for it!

[hoopsguy]

Trying to stay one step ahead of the law, Crimson :)

I don't want the "Tell me about hoopsguy" conversation to happen anytime soon.

In all seriousness, it is a chance to work with smarter people on bigger clients on newer technology. I'm really excited about the work.

[JAG]

Congrats bud, sounds like a nice job upgrade.

[PackerFanatic]

I am back from vacation and this sounds like a fun game...so count me in!

As long as he is not deemed too powerful, I'd like to go with Jack Bauer.

[PackerFanatic]

I'm in.

I'll be the Most Interesting Man in the World.

I must warn you, I've won trophies for my game face alone.

PS - J, this is fantastic :)

[ntndeacon]

now that my computer is not riddled with viruses...

In

[ntndeacon]

I would like to go with Thursday Next

[Danny]

Still need more signups! We really need at least 18 or 19 to get this going. Im glad Autumn started a small game in the meantime.

[PackerFanatic]

I am back from vacation and this sounds like a fun game...so count me in!

As long as he is not deemed too powerful, I'd like to go with Jack Bauer.

Hey Danny - just making sure you saw this, as I noticed you added NTN to the list and not me :)

[Danny]

Ah I missed it, great!

[Danny]

I didn't want to interrupt Autumn's small game thread, but I just want to reiterate for those that may be holding back thinking this game is too complicated that it's not as much as it sounds and I will work with you to make it so it requires less time.

Again as an example, if you pick one character to be, really all you will have to do on a daily basis is give the following orders.

Attack Character
Interact Character

[Chubby]

so I pick my characters??? sure I will die a quick death!

Super Grover 2.0/Cookie Monster/Oscar the Grouch

[Danny]

Cool welcome! We're at 16 now, so I'll work on getting us a few more.

[Danny]

Oh and the interact character action isn't even something you have to do. It has a risk/reward element to it, so while you may miss out on good things if you choose not to take part, you may miss out on bad things happening to you as well.

[Chubby]

C is for cookie and cookie starts with C NOM NOM NOM NOM

[CrimsonFox]

Packer said he wanted Jack Bauer. Perhaps you think he isn't strong enough to play with muppets.

[Narcizo]

I think you've missed Dubb as well Danny - Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage & Miss Elisabeth.

Bit too powerful if you ask me - we all know the only thing that can destroy the Megapowers is the Megapowers themselves.

And NTN wants to be Thursday Next. Which I googled and looks pretty interesting.

[Autumn]

This is going to be awesome.

[Chubby]

I like dirt

[Narcizo]

I'm quite a big Alice in Chains fan as well.

[dubb93]

Bit too powerful if you ask me - we all know the only thing that can destroy the Megapowers is the Megapowers themselves.


:D

[PackerFanatic]

Packer said he wanted Jack Bauer. Perhaps you think he isn't strong enough to play with muppets.

Haha

[Danny]

I have characters from everyone. Hopefully we can get 3-5 more signups here before we start, but even one or two more would be good

[Chubby]

timeframe? just curious :)

[Danny]

We'll probably be starting monday or tuesday. I'll give an official start date tomorrow.

[Danny]

If we have to go with 17 then we will, though I am still hoping for a few more.

[CrimsonFox]

Then we shall recruit some more!

[DaddyTorgo]

Alright sure...I'm in on this. Give me a lil bit to figure out who to be.

[Danny]

Yay! Welcome DT!

[Narcizo]

Alright sure...I'm in on this. Give me a lil bit to figure out who to be.

This just screams "wolf" to me.

Vote DaddyTorgo
Vote Nightfall

[Narcizo]

Some nag Thomkal and Bug (again) to play. I'd have thought Thomkal would be into it as he likes role playing in normal WW games.

[Thomkal]

Some nag Thomkal and Bug (again) to play. I'd have thought Thomkal would be into it as he likes role playing in normal WW games.

Too late CrimsonFox has already been nagging me. :D But sorry I won't be playing in this one, but reading along. Have fun everybody.

[cougarfreak]

I'll give it a go.

[EagleFan]

Was thinking about trying it then I see the deadlines are listed in central time... central time? who wants to do that conversion? ;) (I actually like going to visit that time zone as it makes the day feel longer when shows get done an hour early)

Not sure if I can commit the time. Will be leaving for a work trip to St. Louis on Tuesday and returning on Thursday evening. Monday will be swamped with last minute prep as everyone is going batsh** insane about this project. Tuesday will be final last minute prep in the morning and then off to the airport in the afternoon. Wednesday will be tied up until at least 8 PM that day (though there will probably be at least an hour added onto that as we discuss how day one went). Thursday will be an all day meeting and then off to the airport once that is over and won't be back home until sometime after midnight.

I don't want to commit and then be absent. For a couple reasons to be honest. One is that I'll be a quick lynch because "EagleFan is playing UTR" but most important is that I won't be adding anything to the game.

[Danny]

I'll give it a go.

Sweet, good to have you in!

[Darth Vilus]

I'sd like to change my character. I want to be Cthulhu

[Danny]

Alright, I am planning on sending out info sometime Monday with the first deadline Tuesday. A couple more signups would be good, but we'll be ok going with 19 I think as well if necessary.

[Narcizo]

I don't want to commit and then be absent. For a couple reasons to be honest. One is that I'll be a quick lynch because "EagleFan is playing UTR"

S'all right. Everyone will be lynching DV first after the Batman game. :cool:

And I've got a bone to pick with Packer for making me think he was a wolf last game.

[Autumn]

This is why I took the Muppets. I can vote a whole bunch of you at once!

[Narcizo]

Woh! I just re-read the rules. Didn't see that it was the characters that voted and not the players so you get multiple votes. And you can "inherit" other people's characters. Cool.

I so want this game to start today. "TODAY", I SAY!

[hoopsguy]

I'll go ahead and sign up for this one, can't resist what looks like a fun theme even if my participation might be a bit sporadic.

I'll take Sauron as my character.

[PackerFanatic]

S'all right. Everyone will be lynching DV first after the Batman game. :cool:

And I've got a bone to pick with Packer for making me think he was a wolf last game.

lol - I thought YOU were a wolf too! But I blame spleen for that one...lol

[CrimsonFox]

I'll go ahead and sign up for this one, can't resist what looks like a fun theme even if my participation might be a bit sporadic.

I'll take Sauron as my character.


Right on hoops! Get fired! I mean...Get Fired up!

[CrimsonFox]

This is why I took the Muppets. I can vote a whole bunch of you at once!


So what do you have against Fozzie?

[Autumn]

So what do you have against Fozzie?

Fozzie.

oooooooookkkkkkkkkkaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyy...

[Danny]

Excellent welcome Hoops! Get in any last minute character changes tonight. Also, signups will close in the monday morning

[Danny]

Alright, I'm working on character stats and abilities today. Hopefully DT and Cougar post what characters they want soon or I can choose for them

[Autumn]

I suggest you give them Pee Wee Herman and a Chippendales dancer

[The Jackal]

[Danny]

All abilities will be given before wolves are assigned, so you won't be able to even try and guess the wolves based on revealed abilities.

[Danny]

The wolves may have special bonus abilities in addition to their regular character abilities though.

[The Jackal]

I thought wolves were good guys

[mauchow]

Just peachy!

Browncoat time!

[Danny]

Wolves are good guys

[Autumn]

I thought wolves were good guys

But we hate the good guys.

[CrimsonFox]

Just peachy!

Browncoat time!

browncoat?

[CrimsonFox]

Fozzie.


Autumn, please tell me how this is an answer. :) It makes me think you're on the dope. :)

[Narcizo]

Why? Seems pretty straight forward to me.

[Danny]

Hmm, would anyone be terrible opposed I have to push back the start date until next monday with roles going out over the weekend?

[PackerFanatic]

I think someone should start another small game in the meantime then :)

[Narcizo]

Hmm, would anyone be terrible opposed I have to push back the start date until next monday with roles going out over the weekend?

I'm going away the monday after next, so unless I get killed in the first week (not a completely unlikely proposition I'll grant you) that won't really work for me. Sorry.

[Autumn]

Autumn, please tell me how this is an answer. :) It makes me think you're on the dope. :)

Fozzie is his own argument for not caring about him. I don't think I can add anything to what he's already presented as evidence.

[Narcizo]

Unless Lathum takes over for "me" as he's coming back the day I go out to England.

[mauchow]

browncoat?

Firefly

Danny. Its Zoe not Chloe. Sorry.

[hoopsguy]

Hmm, would anyone be terrible opposed I have to push back the start date until next monday with roles going out over the weekend?

Not opposed, but it would mean that I can't play in this one.

[CrimsonFox]

Fozzie is his own argument for not caring about him. I don't think I can add anything to what he's already presented as evidence.

Ahhhhh. But he's such a humble bear. Take pity on him.

[CrimsonFox]

Firefly

Danny. Its Zoe not Chloe. Sorry.

Ohhhh! VERY NICE! How did I miss that? Did you have something different before?

[mauchow]

Ohhhh! VERY NICE! How did I miss that? Did you have something different before?

Yeah, I had INspector Closseau of Pink Panther initially.. But I didn't think I could keep up with the role playing of him. lol. Even though I make as many mistakes as he does.... so maybe I need to switch back.

[J23]

Either way works for me, but I'd rather start it soon than lose a bunch of people.

[The Jackal]

Hmm, would anyone be terrible opposed I have to push back the start date until next monday with roles going out over the weekend?

I'd still be in.

[Tyrith]

Just remember that two weeks from today is Independence Day, so we'd have a three day weekend that probably wouldn't work well for weekend play smack in the middle.

[Danny]

Alright, I think this kind of sucks, but what I think I want to do is postpone this until after the July 4th weekend. Due to some stuff that came up today, I won't be able to start it today / tomorrow as planned and I think we will lose a couple signups by starting it right before the July 4th weekend. I think if I wait until after, I think we lose Narcizo, but can gain some guys like Lathum, Eaglefan, and some others. In the meantime, I encourage someone to start up a smaller game. I apologize for this and hopefully this doesn't take the steam out of the game. I also will be sending stat and ability to each of you in the meantime so you can look it over and see if you might want to make any chances / have suggestions.

[Danny]

How does that sound?

[Danny]

FWIW, the thing that came up is I am finishing up my comps over summer and while the class extends until mid to late August, my professor has informed me that his availability after mid July is very spotty, so I have to get him drafts of my remaining comps asap. My goal is to have them all to him by next Thursday so that he can send me any revisions needed before his availability goes down.

[Tyrith]

I think that considering everything this is probably the best path. Trying to run a game like this without full GM and community buy-on is probably a bad idea, and this way a more normal game can get started late this week and hopefully finish before the holiday weekend.

[The Jackal]

Yeah that's fine, just push it back. Can run 1-2 small games in the meantime.

[Narcizo]

No problems Danny. GM has to have the time to run something like this or it won't work.

[EagleFan]

In.

[Danny]

Cool! Again, the plan is to start after the July 4th weekend (probably roles out the 5th game start the 6th, so anyone wanting to be in or needing to be taken out, let me know.

[The Jackal]

Bump to remind current players and potential new ones

[Narcizo]

I need to be taken out unfortunately Danny. I'll be in England those two weeks.

[J23]

We still planning on getting started today?

[Chubby]

I'm hoping!

[Danny]

I'm going to leave a post 4th day for people to sign up or back out if needed and we'll hopefully get some roles out tomorrow evening for a thu start.

[mauchow]

I'll be somewhat limited Friday and Monday but should be good around those days.. same as usual.

[EagleFan]

As my character I will go with Duke Nukem. He seems like a fun character.

(was debating about either Sam Fisher or him but thought Duke could be fun to 'play as')

[Chubby]

still on track for getting powers today with 1st day tomorrow?

[Danny]

powers either going out tonight or tomorrow, though I'm debating if it would better to give some extra time and have a friday day 1

[Schmidty]

I think I might want to add Banner to my Hulkiness for once if possible.

[Danny]

Ok, I'll work something out for that.

[Autumn]

These worlds are colliding verrrrrryyyy slllooooooowwwlllyyyyy .....

;-)

[The Jackal]

These worlds are colliding verrrrrryyyy slllooooooowwwlllyyyyy .....

;-)

I keep thinking that myself but I'm pretty sure Danny has had to put an assload of work into this game, and creating/sending out PMs is an assload of work in and of itself even if you have everything designed the way you want to, not accounting for non-WW things that popup.

I know you said it in jest, but I just wanted to express to Danny that we're okay being patient. :)

[The Jackal]

Or at least I'm okay being patient. Because that's what Keyser Soze does. He watches and learns, and then he destroys you psychologically, emotionally, physically.. and then like that.. poof, he's gone.

[mauchow]

Mal is patient for two seconds before he blows your head off with his revolver. So Keyser would be dead right away.

[Danny]

I'm not going to be able to get our roles this morning, but I am getting closer. Sorry again this has taken me so long, but we will get it going eventually! Though I'm thinking roles out over the weekend with a monday start might work best to keep up the flow of the game.

[PackerFanatic]

This game better be damn amazing...

;)

[J23]

I'm fine w/ whatever is easiest for you to run it.

[Autumn]

I think it's fine to start it on a Friday, gives us time to get something going on day one. And I find no matter what I do there's still a big group of people who miss day one for the most part, not realizing things have started, so the longer they have to realize, the better.

Which always makes me wonder, does everyone else here get e-mails when you get a PM here?

[Danny]

I do, and thank goodness google uses conversations so that the pm spam I will get wont take up my whole inbox.

[Autumn]

Also I should clarify that I think it would be fine to just do a very long day one. A friday deadline would be fine too, but I'll be out at daadline.

[Lathum]

what is the status of this game?

[Danny]

We're gearing up to get started at some point relatively soon, but it's taken me longer to work stuff out than I thought. Worst case is a monday start.

[Lathum]

ok, count me in. What do I need to do?

[Danny]

Just post your character.

[Lathum]

err, ok, I haven't read the rules. Anythin interesting I need to know?

[dubb93]

err, ok, I haven't read the rules. Anythin interesting I need to know?

That you really need to read the rules :p

[Autumn]

Lathum's working on his day one alibi already. "Haven't really read the rules yet, don't know what's going on."

[Chubby]

should somebody run another small game in the meantime?

[PackerFanatic]

By this point I think we won't have enough time (especially over a weekend)

[EagleFan]

Lathum's working on his day one alibi already. "Haven't really read the rules yet, don't know what's going on."

It's something we should consider.

:)

[Danny]

should somebody run another small game in the meantime?

It's just a couple of days.

[Lathum]

OK, I think I'll be Harry Potter

[PackerFanatic]

OK, I think I'll be Harry Potter

Love it.

[The Jackal]

OK, I think I'll be Harry Potter

I think you should clearly be Harry Potter AND Voldemort.

[Lathum]

I think you should clearly be Harry Potter AND Voldemort.

I considered it.

[CrimsonFox]

Sure you don't want Dobbie too?

[PackerFanatic]

Dobby* ;)

[CrimsonFox]

I'm really okay with not knowing that. ;)

[Danny]

Finishing up abilities and reworking. Roles will be going out late tonight / early tomorrow for sure, for sure (I woke up late afternoon today, so I will be up until next morning)

[CrimsonFox]

"fer sure, fer sure"
-- Janice the Muppet

[Danny]

And since they didn't give me characters I chose for them. Daddytorgo is Mrs. Doubtfire and Cougar is the Goo (from World of Goo)

[CrimsonFox]

MRS DOUBTFIRE, MAKE ME SOME PANCAKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And Goo, um....spit up some syrup I guess...

[Danny]

I'm basically ready now, but deciding if I want to change anything for balance. I really have no clue if the game will end up balanced or not.

[CrimsonFox]

I think Autumn should be the "Wrong-Sounding" Muppets or at least have a "Wrong Sounding" power.

[CrimsonFox]

I'm basically ready now, but deciding if I want to change anything for balance. I really have no clue if the game will end up balanced or not.

You mean WW has balanced games?

[Danny]

lol, I think my games have been pretty balanced so far (minus one inherit flaw in one of them). A game like this though, I really have no idea.

[Autumn]

Mrs. Doubtfire should have the ability to make my parents laugh until I think they're going to have aneurysms.

[Danny]

Roles / stats going out now. After the roles go out, those who are wolves will receive another private message. Villagers will not get an additional pm stating they are such.

[Danny]

PM's have been sent, and the wolves notified. I will make this note again, but all roles and abilities were given before wolves were assigned. Traditional wolf / villager type abilities may be able to be gained through daily interactions.

[Danny]

As the crystal activated it seemed time stopped as fictional and real were drawn into an endless time loop. Then all of a sudden, everything exploded! And now everyone exists together in a world much like earth, but where characters only in the movies, on paper and in your imaginations existed previously. Each of you has a small shard of excess crystal which gives you commanding power over your characters. Use them wisely.

[Danny]

Game on!!!

And once again, everyone received a PM with their role info and stats and the wolves received a pm letting them know they are a wolf.

[Chubby]

YAY we're started! :)

[Danny]

Sometime by monday morning there will be a list of characters you can interact with. When choosing who to interact with, you will choose to either interact or attack them. This is due at day deadline.

[Barkeep49]

I feel like I've been a wolf a very high percentage of games I've played recently and so it's nice to just be a villager.

[hoopsguy]

I'm unexpectedly in this game, so please be gentle with the "he's not active, he must be a wolf!" stuff for the first couple of days. I absolutely will not be on during 7-7 CST with my new job.

Oh, and I'm a villager too so you don't want to make me go away unnecessarily early or anything silly like that :)

[Chubby]

i'm a villager and have no friggin' clue how to approach this game strategy wise... suggestions?

[Barkeep49]

The wisest course seems to be one which is similar to hoops game as there were attacks and such there as well. Perhaps, while he's around today, he can grant us his insight.
