Yep, I'll get the rules and all that good stuff up today, then PM out the roles Monday morning.

Any signups are still welcome for the late-comers!

[oliegirl]

It's Ketchup Boy's first game and AE is making his return? I'm so in!

But, seeing as I'm a girl and all - I get to be the hot blonde cheerleader!!!

[SnDvls]

I'm going to have to start calling you renderer, instead of...uh...render. Or would you prefer rerenderer, so it's back to being pseudo-palindromic?

I think clap already claimed it, but if it makes you feel any better, you're always our hot blonde cheerleader around here......

[jeheinz72]

Rules posted!

I have to admit to being in a tad of a hurry, let me know if anything doesn't make sense.

You can always PM me with questions as well.

[path12]

If each of us has a name, does Sylar (or whatever it was) have a fake name to use?

[The Jackal]

When are we starting?

Will the first deadline be Tuesday morning then? I justw ant to be sure, because I probably won't see your PM until pretty late Monday night (two job day).

[Chief Rum]

Shit, I just realized he won't read this until Monday morning, lol.

We need to get jeheinz an Internet connection at home.

[st.cronin]

I hope we don't have a deadline on Monday, I'm also usually pretty busy on Mondays.

I think he said the first deadline is tuesday

[The Jackal]

If we are running on th 1 PM EST schedule, I bet the roles will go out Monday morning and the first deadline will be Tuesday at 1 PM EST.

Awww, thanks Path!

[Chief Rum]

Just a reminder to everyone: I'll be out all day, so please don't have a runaway vote on me by the time I get on just because I haven't checked in yet.

See y'all tonight.

There will be a good amount more names than players, but he won't be told a name that isn't in the game.

Ha, yeah, just read this! But no worries, first deadline is tomorrow.

...and I have a connection at home, but just don't go online due to A) spending SO much time at the computer at work and B) That's kids and wife time for me. I mean I *could* but then it'd be a Pandora's box situation a bit.

[Lathum]

waiting....waiting......waiting......

[Passacaglia]

Game on!

[hoopsguy]

Got my role, another "villager" (good guy majority) role. I'm interested to see how this game works out since I couldn't play in the last hero game (Apocalypse Awakens).

[Greyroofoo]

I claim Not Wolf!

[The Jackal]

No company or Sylar here, though that Sylar sure sounded fun. With the amount of unpredictable roles, this should be interesting.

[jeheinz72]

Ok folks, all the roles and PM's are out (wow, 23 takes awhile!).

The game is officially ON.

Day/Night One deadline is 1 PM EST on Tuesday, March 4th.

PM me any specific questions, or if more general, you can ask it here. Remember, I'm in from 9 AM - 6 PM EST only.

Also, remember, game names and show names don't necessarily jive. Meaning somoene who is clearly good on the show may be bad here. I'm updating one of the first posts soon with all possible player names.

Have fun, and good luck!

[claphamsa]

Im a hero... woooo

[claphamsa]

I need to go read the backstory, cut I neever watched heros.

[Alan T]

I'm checking in. I'm a hero here as well as my character was a good guy in the show.

I'm guessing some of the powers might have been adjusted for various characters, but at least in the case of mine, my power is pretty close to what I would expect based on the show.

[Lathum]

Checking in.

My first thought is do we gain any value or do we impead ourselves by revealing our names.

My power is also in line with the show, so I think it is best at this time not to reveal our names.

[claphamsa]

well i never saw the show, so I dont knwo if im close or not! sadly my power does not include summoning Hayden Pantiere to my office

I agree with this, I don't think its a good idea for a name reveal right now (especially if Jeheinz did make some good guys from the show bad, or vice versa).

[Greyroofoo]

My character's power seems somewhat close

[Alan T]

It doesn't seem that No Lynch is an option from the rules, and everyone has to vote or they lose their evening powers..

The main caution I will be making is with the ability to affect time, I assume we might see an early deadline at some point sprung on us similar to in one of my games. So I'll probably not be waiting till the last minute to vote. I'll likely get my vote in today before 5pm EST and then always have the option to change it tommorrow morning if I so choose.

[claphamsa]

as is my habit, to vote early and often!

vote render!

[oliegirl]

I don't watch the show, but I'm a hero...

I'm not sure where I stand on revealing, there are definitely benefits but as there are going to be people who lie, I'm not sure that it would accomplish anything other than confusing everything this early in the game. Once we get some sort of CoT established, then I'd be more for it...

[Alan T]

It seems that with everyone having a nightly power referred to in the rules, this will be an excellent game to be able to ask people who are at threat of being lynched what they used their power to do daily and see if it matches what other people may have observed along the way.

[Neon_Chaos]

Hero, checking in.

Same here about not really following the TV Series (but the girlfriend watches). I've watched an episode here and there, though.

[Greyroofoo]

vote render

Only because he killed me last game

[hoopsguy]

Not wolf = Not Company? = Not Sylar? Hmm, Greyroofoo seems to be trying to confuse us already

Regarding show knowledge, I didn't know "Lost" when I played in that game and had to work hard to figure out the characters. So if there are questions I would be happy to help people out with background info.

Revealing - by revealing names we could potentially put pressure on the Company and Sylar. But it also gives a good starting point for figuring out what abilities someone has and what their relative value is within the game. I'm certainly up for discussing this if others are ... I'm not sure there were 23 people with powers across the two seasons (will try to verify this through Wikipedia or something like that) if that impacts people's thoughts on the matter.

The problem I see with revealing names right now is at least where mine is concerned, my name pretty much spells out exactly what my power is for anyone who knows the show. Jeheinz has already stated that you can't trust that someone is good in this game just because they are Hiro or the cheerleader or such.. So by revealing names, we can't necessarily build trust and all we do is allow Sylar or the company to be able to pinpoint exactly where to go each night.

It seems lose-lose to me at least so far based on my understanding of the ruleset.

[hoopsguy]

From the show:
Heroes: Peter Petrelli, Nathan Petrelli, Claire Bennett, Hiro Nakamura, Niki Sanders, Isaac Mendez, Matt Parkman, DL Hawkins, Maya Herrera, Micah Sanders, Monica Dawson, Molly Walker

Company: Noah Bennett (HRG), Mr. Linderman, Haitian, Elle Bishop, Bob Bishop, Kaito Nakamura (Hiro's father), Maury Parkman (Matt's father), Angela Petrelli (Nathan/Peter's mother)

Sylar: Sylar (duh)

Non-powered characters affiliated with Heroes: Ando, Dr. Suresh, Alejandro

Other "bad guys: Takezo Kenzei/Adam Monroe

Tough to pin down: Claude (invisible partner of HRG while with Company, free agent now), Brian Davis (telekinetic who was first kill by Sylar), West Rosen (flying boyfriend of Claire), Charlie Andrews (waitress killed by Sylar), Ted Sprague (??? - not very heroic), Hana Gitelman (cameo on show, more involved with online graphic novels)

There are a bunch of additional names here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...ters_in_Heroes


Hmm, I'm running a little short on heroes so far compared to people who probably would not be listed as heroes. 12 heroes, a bunch that are harder to define.

[Neon_Chaos]

Uh... please see Post #3

There are 23 players, and 31 names.

Is it safe to assume that the bad guys know which characters are in this game (similar to the Greek Gods game we had), and that any reveal of any name cannot be trusted?

[hoopsguy]

Alan, I'm not sure how many of the names tightly correlate with powers. For example, Nathan Petrelli can fly. OK, so what does that get him in this game? Hiro can travel through time - it sounds dangerous, but what does that correlate with?

I think there are definitely some names where I can make very educated guesses on powers. But we have the same risk/reward with any of these games in terms of revealing a name and having the possibility of a cross-claim, of monitoring their ability usage, etc. I think it is at least worthy of discussion for today unless there are better Day 1 topics out there.

You didn't mention the heros with powers that are a bit more impressive than say Nathan's ability. Without knowing what for instance Sylar's goals are this game... I'm guessing it has something to do with hunting down a hero and killing them/taking their power.

by listing out who is whom, you pretty much open the door for Sylar to say, "Gee I don't want to target Nathan, I'll go after Claire instead".

Considering what Neon mentioned is probably likely in effort to keep a mass reveal from wrecking the game, what does everyone revealing their names do other than map things out for Sylar and/or the Company to know who to target?

Where is the positive in that? My thoughts are in a game with this many "powers" You will have people who can perhaps spy on others (invisibility?), read people's minds, etc.. and figure out when people are lying or not being honest. This just doesn't seem like a great game to open our doors wide open for the bad guys to know exactly whom to go after.
