WW small game: James Bond - Goldfinger (Game Over)
 

British Intelligence has received information from the Bank of England that a gold dealer named Auric Goldfinger has been recently stockpiling suspiciously large amounts of gold bullion. After further investigation, it has been learned that solely stockpiling gold is not his only plan, but instead he has far more sinister intentions. If Auric Goldfinger's evil scheme called "Operation Grand Slam" is successful, he will be able to entirely destroy Fort Knox and wreck the world's economy.

You and your fellow agents have been issued orders to hunt down Auric Goldfinger and his henchmen and prevent his plan from succeeding. Will you be in time to save the world's economy? To make matters worse, British Intelligence states that somehow Auric was able to get his hands on a list of current agent numbers. He'll know how many are out there looking for him!

GM note: The story for this game is loosely taken from the James Bond stories. Relying entirely or in part on the actual stories or movies to gain information would be counter-productive and possibly harmful in your game analysis. Some things possibly have been changed to better fit the game mechanics.

Winning Conditions:

Secret Agents - The secret agents win the game when they have completely rid themselves of Auric Goldfinger and his henchmen.

Auric Goldfinger and Henchmen - Auric Goldfinger and his henchmen win when they achieve a 1 to 1 ratio with remaining secret agents and are able to complete your dastardly plans.

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

Game Schedule:

The game will consist of 2 game periods. The Daytime period which will run from 9:00am EST until the deadline of 9:00pm EST each night between Monday and Friday. The Nighttime period will run from 9:00pm EST until the deadline of 9:00am EST each night between Monday and Friday. The weekend schedule will be stated at the time based on popular choice.

Any actions that occur outside of their proper schedule (votes before or after the day period, or night actions sent in during the day) will not count without prior approval. If for some reason you need to submit a vote or action outside of the normal schedule, please PM me and we will work out the best possible solution if needed.

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

Game Roles

Agent 007 (James Bond) - You are the best of the secret agents and thus have a knack for learning information through all sorts of means. Each night you may scan one other person to learn if they are an evil henchmen or a fellow secret agent.

Auric Goldfinger - You are the evil mastermind, always managing to stay one step ahead of Britain's finest. Each night you may choose one of your henchmen to kill a secret agent. You may also choose to do the job yourself as well. You may also choose to not perform any night kill in an attempt to create suspicion.

Oddjob - You are one of Auric Goldfinger's henchmen. You don't have any job other than carrying out Auric Goldfinger's commands. You may communicate with Auric Goldfinger via PMs during the game. In the case of Auric's death, you obtain the ability to dictate who the night kill will be each evening.

Ms. Galore - You are not one of Auric Goldfinger's henchmen, however you are sympathetic to their cause. For game purposes, you will show up as an agent if James Bond scans you and you count as an agent in regards to the overall 1 to 1 agent vs henchmen game ratio. You will not win however with the agents, and in fact your winning condition relies on Auric Goldfinger and his henchmen winning. You know who Auric Goldfinger and his henchmen are in this game however you are not allowed to PM with them. They do not know who you are.

Secret Agents - Each of you are given a special number. Being a secret agent however is tough work and requires some level of discrescion.

Bodyguard - Randomly assigned to one of the secret agents, each night you may choose one player to protect. If you protect the target for the night kill, you will prevent the night kill from happening but will not learn any other information about the attacker. If you protect the player designated to perform the night kill, you will not learn any information about them however the night kill will not be able to be performed that evening. You may not choose to protect the same player two nights in a row, however you may choose to protect yourself if you desire.

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


Daytime period:

Each daytime period, all remaining players in the game will be called upon to place a vote. The player receiving the most votes will be sent at the end of the day back to England where they will receive intense interrogation. They will be removed from the game at that point and their role will be revealed.

In the case of a tie with the voting, those who are tied will have their tie broken based on the oldest standing vote (based on post number). In cases of Unvotes and then revotes for the same candidate, the newer post number will be used.

When placing your vote, please Bold your votes such as:

Vote Alan T

or

Unvote Alan T

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

Night period actions:

Many, but not all of the roles have night period actions that are to be submitted to me before the night deadline of 9:00am EST. At the end of the night period, James Bond will receive a PM with the information that he found the previous night. The Henchman who was performing the night kill will also receive a PM with the results of their actions. With the morning writeup following each night period the role of any dead player will be revealed.

If people would like to sign up as an alternate either before or after we reach the max 10 people, I will place you on the list at any point.

Bah, and I just realized I'll ruin my exact 1000 posts when I post a thread on the main forums to announce the game. :)

Put me down, but I'd be happy to give it up to a newer player if necessary.

Just delete the thread after you fill the game..... ;)

what path said...I am in but happy to give up my spot for a newer player if need be.

Early deaths mean I get to play in all the games, large and small. Sign me up.

I'm glad you finally joined me in this :)

I have decided i will only play in small games. So sign me up for this one

How come?

Because I can't be online as much as most people who play. And its easier to catch up on 2 pages than 5 like I have been doing with the muskateers game

Going to pass, unless you have trouble finding enough players. I think I may be overexposed lately in these games.

I'm in. Sounds like fun.

So are you saying you're in, SnDvls? Because if that's what you intended, Alan hasn't counted you yet.

In

and with DC in, im in

sorry I was a little confusing in my post.

I'm not in I have too many family members coming into town for the holidays and they are staying at my house so I'llhave to pass on this one.

hope that clears it up some.

Quick question on the bolded part. Is that an actual action that causes suspicion to fall on a player? I don't understand in a short game why no kill would be a beneficial thing or create suspicion since I don't see a jailing option or anything like that.

Nope, no artificial suspicion is created other than the discussion of why there was no night kill. This just allows a non-action as an option if so choosing.

Thanks for the clarification. I'll say that if I was Goldfinger, there will be no nights off for my henchmen!!

Hope we get some more players. I am looking forward to giving this one a shot.

This game is fine with 8-10, if we get 1 more we will be fine. Its just limited at 10.

I would love to get in this game, but the schedule just doesn't work for me. I'm leaving town on the 21st and while I'd probably be killed before then, I don't want to risk it.

hoops maybe? hes dead now too

Friday bump before the weekend. Would like 1 more at least, got room for 3 more.

Put me down as an alternate. If you need me to reach 10, then I'll play.

Alan, I can play if you need one more but I will be leaving town next Thursday with limited access until after the new year.

If there is room I'll play, but Sunday is a very bad for me with a family get together that day. Hopefully if the game is starting Sunday, the deadline is not until Monday night? If so and there is room I'll play.

The roles will go out sunday night and I'll start the game then. Probably between 8pm and 10pm EST Sunday night. The first night's deadline is 10pm EST on monday night, so you should be just fine.

Lathum, Fouts and Hoops all stated they'd play if I needed another body. I don't "need" another body per say, so don't have any of you three on the signup list. If any of you (or anyone else) wants to play anyways though, just sign up before tommorrow night. THere is two spots left for anyone interested.

Go ahead and add me.

go ahead and add me as well

PM received. checking in and ready to hunt Goldfinger.

PM recieved... is it bad that I have never watched a James bond movie?

Actually, I've never seen a James Bond movie either :o

00 checking in, ready to kick some ass, and score some i suppose

lol. i don't even know who's playing in this game i just realized. gonna check!

I'm ready to go. I've got the lamest 00 name ever.

Just read my PM and checking in. Diggin' it.

I'll take my martini...well, you know.

No Chief, I don't know. How will you take it?

Shaken, not stirred. :)

I want to lynch daddytorgo day one because he is getting too good at being evil.

Interesting. I am a 00 and I wasn't given a name. Hmmm, which of us is lying.
