Alright, I'll have a go. I don't know how often I'll be in, as next week is two tricky pracs and they need attention.

I'm in.

In like Eugenio Torre.

Passacaglia · 05-01-2008, 09:30 AM

My plan is to send out roles Monday morning, and have a long Day 1, with a Day 1 deadline of 3 PM, Tuesday May 6. I'll keep signups open until then.

Qwikshot · 05-01-2008, 10:10 AM

Barkeep49 · 05-01-2008, 10:23 AM

Yeah to Qwikshot. I know Pass really wanted 20.

Yep. 20 means that everyone gets a PM partner -- each side has two rooks, two bishops, two knights, two pawns, and a king and queen. Any additional players just mean that the players controlling pawns won't get as many pawns per player (which I still would love).

Passacaglia · 05-01-2008, 02:57 PM

I made a few edits to the rules. Bishops now have the power that the Knights had originally (scan someone and find out if they're the same color as you). Knights now have a power similar to what the Bishops had originally (restricted seer), but different restrictions were used. The area that Knights can see on the board was also changed.

Also, this was added:

Quote:

However, only the Bishops, Kings, and Queens will know what color they are. Rooks, Knights, and Pawns will be told they're White, and the board will appear to them as if they're White, regardless of what color they really are.

Also, the Pawn power of being able to learn a player's location on the board was changed so that it can start being used Night 4, instead of Night 3.

Passacaglia · 05-02-2008, 10:02 AM

Another small rule change:

Quote:

Each Pawn can see one space away, but only after it has moved.

Passacaglia · 05-02-2008, 10:39 AM

This is how the board will look for white pieces, and the Black King, Queen, and Bishop:

Code:

Black Rook	Black Knight	Black Bishop	Black Queen	Black King	Black Bishop	Black Knight	Black Rook    8
Black Pawn	Black Pawn	Black Pawn	Black Pawn	Black Pawn	Black Pawn	Black Pawn	Black Pawn    7
	                                                                                                                      6						
	                                                                                                                      5						
	                                                                                                                      4						
	                                                                                                                      3						
White Pawn	White Pawn	White Pawn	White Pawn	White Pawn	White Pawn	White Pawn	White Pawn    2
White Rook	White Knight	White Bishop	White Queen	White King	White Bishop	White Knight	White Rook    1
A	          B	           C	           D	            E	            F	           G	      H

Passacaglia · 05-02-2008, 11:02 AM

For Black Pawns, Black Knights, and Black Rooks, I'm going to use a separate board that makes it look like they're white. Since Pawns, Knights, and Rooks won't know what color they are, I'm manipulating it a little bit so that both colors think they are white -- for example, the Black Knight who starts in cell G8 will think he starts in cell G1, and the Black Pawn who starts in C7 will think he starts in C2. This might get confusing as players try to communicate towards endgame, so I thought I'd get that out there now.

Schmidty · 05-04-2008, 11:05 PM

Considering the fact that I am a very, very good chess player (sorry humility), I should probably sign up....but I need to get my stuff together for my game. Even though it'll be 100% simpler than this one.

ntndeacon · 05-04-2008, 11:31 PM

That could screw up the rooks trying to go towards his own end and ending up at the other side.

Neon_Chaos · 05-05-2008, 01:30 AM

So... what's the time table on this game starting?

Not if Pass reverses the orders coming in from the black pieces (which I presume he will be doing).

Pass said that he'd be sending out roles Monday morning EST (so Monday night in your case, I guess) with the first day ending Tuesday.

Right. I'm sending out roles in about 2 hours, first deadline in 31 hours.

Say the black rook believes that he is white and currently on A5 and wants to move to A1. He might say that he wants to move "south" 4 spaces or something. You'd see that he's actually on A4 and then move him "north" 4 spaces so he arrives at A8.

I think.

Thinking about it the main problem is that if he thinks he's white then he's going to have to see the same opposite effect on all pieces around him. So if he sees a black knight next to him he will have to be told that it's a white knight, so he doesn't attempt to capture it. Or if a white pawn is in a position where it could capture him he'll have to be told that it's a black pawn so he knows he needs to try and move away.

Right. Part of thinking you're white means that you'll think the other pieces are black. My plan is actually to use "friendly" and "enemy" for the people that don't know what color they are.

Alan T · 05-05-2008, 07:40 AM

I'll play if you need someone to fill in Imthecrew's spot to make it an even 20. Even though my wife is out of town, and I'm spending alot of time working this week, so won't be as active as normal.

Alan T · 05-05-2008, 07:41 AM

Ahh it is my Firefox noscript extention blocking it. Guess they changed how that part of the board works for some reason!

Anyhows, I'll play if you need a 20th Pass

Yeah there's a bit of a script now that allows you go directly to a folder or send a new message without going through the Inbox first.

and ill be sure to get action sin.

Passacaglia · 05-05-2008, 09:16 AM

Starting to send out PMs. Please wait until I post that I'm done to start chatting. Thanks.

Passacaglia · 05-05-2008, 09:38 AM

The following PMs have been sent out:

Quote:

X is the White King, in spot E1, and Y is the White Queen, in spot D1.

X is in spot A1, and can prevent attacks made by wolves. Y is in spot H1, and can prevent attacks on the board.

X is in cell B1, and can see a Friendly Rook in cell A1, a Friendly Bishop in spot C1, Friendly Pawns in spots A2, B2, C2 and D2. Cells A3 and C3 are empty. During this turn, you may move to cell A3, C3, or D2.

Y is in cell G1, and can see a Friendly Rook in cell H1, a Friendly Bishop in spot F1, Friendly Pawns in spots E2, F2, G2 and H2. Cells F3 and H3 are empty. During this turn, you may move to cell F3, H3, or E2.

You are the White Bishops. X is in spot C1, and Y is in spot F1.

X controls the Pawns in cells A2, C2, E2, and G2. Y controls the Pawns in cells B2, D2, F2, and H2.

X controls the Pawns in cells A2, C2, E2, and G2. Y controls the Pawns in cells B2, D2, F2, and H2.

You guys are also wolves. Good luck.

Begin play!

hoopsguy · 05-05-2008, 09:45 AM

OK, got my PM - it is one of the ones listed above (duh).

Time to re-read the rules and create out a homemade map to see if I can get a little better feel for my options.

st.cronin · 05-05-2008, 09:53 AM

I'm not sure how Team White and Team Black are supposed to coordinate their moves. Is there something obvious I'm missing?

KWhit · 05-05-2008, 10:02 AM

I'm not sure I understand why some players don't know what team they're on.

hoopsguy · 05-05-2008, 10:08 AM

Cronin, my impression is that the leaders of the teams (the ones who actually know whether they are white or black) get to make risk/reward decisions about communicating within the thread. Clearly if they identify themselves as one color then they alienate several others (four players to start, 50% of the other players if there is total disclosure).

I do'nt know what color I am - given that this yields information about what my role would be, you (the collective you, not Cronin specifically) can either take that statement at face value or assume I'm bluffing.

Narcizo · 05-05-2008, 10:18 AM

I've thought about this and I would imagine it's to prevent mass reveals. Say we lynch a white piece and then another white piece is night killed. What's to prevent the black pieces all outing themselves and targeting the other white pieces for a lynch?

hoopsguy · 05-05-2008, 10:22 AM

Yep, if we all know what color we are then it gets pretty hard to agree on kills when the game is both "black vs white" and "villager vs wolf".

hoopsguy · 05-05-2008, 10:23 AM

So how does "line of sight" work in this game? For example, I have a certain amount of distance that I can see - but the PM doesn't include information about who is in the spaces around me.

jeheinz72 · 05-05-2008, 10:24 AM

I really need to re-read the rules though.

As I recall Pass said that you will see whatever you can see 'AFTER" you move. So tostart the game you start blind and must move to gain information.
