Werewolf LXXXII - Cops and Robbers (Day 3 Deadline 4 PM EST Thursday)

[jeheinz72]

Changing up my theme a bit here. Overall, still a pretty basic game with a minor twist thrown in...

Background
Welcome to First National Bank! Well, it's not so much a welcome as "YOU'RE SCREWED!" See, it was just before closing time, the busiest time of the day. 18 people were in the bank just short of closing time, two things happened. For one, some Robbers in the bank were JUST about to initiate a heist to steal all the cash and for two, the power in the entire city went out. The bank doors are locked, no one can get out. The safe is wide open. People are frazzled. The robbers decided to slink into the crowd as regular customers, but they are still there to accomplish their mission. But they couldn't completely meld in, one guy died in a shoot out with a now-dead security guard. He was dressed as a regular guy too, no one knew.

RULES

We will use a 22/2 system for the cycles. For 22 hours the bank will deliberate over who to lynch with a deadline of 1 PM EST. Then for the next 2 hours the night phase will run and everyone will do their night actions with a deadline of 3 PM EST.

Each day you will vote for one person to get lynched. The player who receives the most votes will be killed. In the event of a tie a random result will be produced.

Each night the Robbers will confer and submit one player they want to attack, and which Robber(s) will be committing the assault.

Undetermined number of customers and robbers to start the game.
Editing posts is forbidden.
There will be no quoting of of PM's received from the game director.
There will be no discussion of the game anywhere other than this thread.
You may PM me at anytime for questions, or during the night phase with night actions. PM's between anyone else are forbidden.

VOTING

Votes for a player should be submitted in bold, for example:

Vote The Jackal

You may switch your vote with the following format:

Unvote The Jackal
Vote claphamsa

ROLES

Note: Not all roles are necessarily in the game.

GOOD ROLES

Customer - You are a regular customer of the bank, there to make a deposit.

Each night you can either Protect Yourself, Protect the Money or Search for Money.

You win a major victory when the Robbers are Dead, you're alive, and X% of the money is still in the bank. A minor one if they're dead and only one of the last two is true.

Town Psychic - You're in the bank to deposit the cash from your Psychic biz down the street.

Each night you can protect yourself or scan someone to know their exact role.

You win a major victory when the Robbers are Dead, you're alive, and X% of the money is still in the bank. A minor one if they're dead and only one of the last two is true.

The Cop - You're in the bank to take out some cash for a night of getting hammered.

Each night you can Protect someone (to a better degree than a Customer), Protect the Money (to a better degree) or Search for Money. You cannot protect yourself (no good cop would) and you can't protect the same person back-to-back nights. Oh, and there are two of you, and you know who each other are (but can't PM or protect each other).

You win a major victory when the Robbers are Dead, you're alive, and X% of the money is still in the bank. A minor one if they're dead and only one of the last two is true.

The Boy - You're 11. There with your Dad to make a transaction. Being an 11-year-old boy has it's advantages.

For one, you can Sneak Around at night tailing people to have a chance to see what they're up to. For two, you never listen to your Dad so you'll do this each night. It's your only action, and you can't protect yourself at all, since you are 11 and my left calf is stronger than you are.

You win a major victory when the Robbers are Dead, you're alive, and X% of the money is still in the bank. A minor one if they're dead and only one fo the last two is true.

Rich Guy - You are the richest customer in the bank, checking on your security box. As the richest person, you can sway the lynch vote to anyone you'd like.

Each night you can either Protect Yourself, Protect the Money or Search for Money.

You win a major victory when the Robbers are Dead, you're alive, and X% of the money is still in the bank. A minor one if they're dead and only one fo the last two is true.

Ex-Con - You're an ex-con who is on the path to God and rightousness...for now. If attacked at night by the Robbers, you have a choice. You can join them or you can die. If you choose to die, the robbers will lose half of their cash. For all other intents and purposes, you are a Customer (actions/win conditions).

BAD ROLES

Robber - You are a crook who was in the midst of a heist. You want the money bad, but you also need to get out of the bank with it.

Each night you can Make an Attack, Steal Some Cash, or Guard the stashes

You win a major victory if you've achieved a 1:1 ratio with the Customers and have taken X% of the cash in the process. You win a Minor victory if you've only achieved the ratio and haven't taken enough

Head Robber - The whole heist was your idea and you'll get the biggest split of the loot. If you get lynched, you can take any other player with you in the process.

Each night you can Make an Attack, Steal Some Cash, or Guard the stashes

You win a major victory if you've achieved a 1:1 ratio with the Customers and have taken X% of the cash in the process. You win a Minor victory if you've only achieved the ratio and haven't taken enough

Evil Cyborg from the Future - You are an evil cyborg whose time-travel to this earth may have caused the power outage. You possess no abilities other than cowering in the corner calling out for your cyborg-momma. You're also grasping for breath since this Earth's air isn't as concentrated as the air you're used to and need to survive. You win merely by surviving to get the hell back to where you came from. You do not count in the end-game ratio.


The Cash

The bank started with $10,000,000 in it. The exact amount of each steal by a Robber, protection by a customer, search by a customer, etc is known only to me and is pre-determined.

Also, the exact amount needed to achieve and major and minor victories is known only to me and is set at the moment.

The Actions

Here is a quick look at each action and it's result

Protect Yourself (Customer/Psychic/Rich Guy) - If attacked, the odds slightly increase that you'll survive. You may still be knocked out for a day or two though (unable to vote or act at night).

Protect the Money (Customer/Rich Guy) - If you do this, it will lessen the amount the Robbers will get that night and stash away. The more of you that do this, the better.

Search for Money (Customer/Cop/Rich Guy) - You can search for the Robbers stash to recoup some of it and get it back to the bank. The more of you that do this, the better. The money will be hid multiple places.

Scan Someone (Psychic) - You send me a name, I tell you exactly what their role is.

Protect Someone (Cop) - If you do this and that person is attacked, they stand a better chance of surviving (even better than if they just protected themselves, and much better if they do as well). They can still be knocked out for a day or two though.

Protect the Money (Cop) - Being a cop, you're better at this then some regular joe, so the amount taken will go down even more.

Sneak Around (Boy) - You'll get a look at what they did that night. Sometimes it may be exact. Others it may be a partial idea (since searching for money can look like stalking someone to make an attack). You're 11, what can I say, shiny things still distract you sometimes.

Make An Attack (Robber) - You attack someone with the intent to kill. Depending on how many of you attack and if there is any protection, you may or may not be successful. Note that the Robbers as a whole can only attack one person (so you can't have two robbers attacking two different people in one night).

Steal Some Cash (Robber) - You slyly grab some cash out of the safe, the less people protecting, the more you'll get

Guard the Stashes (Robber) - You'll keep an eye on the spots you've hidden some loot. The more of you that do this, the less chance someone can search and put some back in the bank.

[claphamsa]

in,

[jeheinz72]

Okie doke folks, ready to rock on this one. We'll take signups until *at least* Tuesday at 9 AM EST. Presuming we have a decent enough amount of folks, I'll then send out roles with the first deadline being the Day one lynch deadline of 1 PM EST on Wednesday the 24th.

One quick note on timing, Friday will be a touch wacky for me as I'm not going to be at work and will be driving about 4 hours during the day. So we'll probably have a bit later deadline that day (like 5-6 PM / 7-8 PM EST) and then we'll have the customary over-the-weekend break until Monday's deadlines

I'll play. Neat theme.

[path12]

Hands up! (I'm in).

[PackerFanatic]

Theme does sound really cool. If you think the game will be done before 10/6, then I am in.

[Lathum]

[jeheinz72]

Yeah PF, it should definitely be done by 10/6 (well, unless somehow we get a gigantic mass of people that would require like a 10-day cycle game)

I'll put you on for now, let me know if you need off.

[PackerFanatic]

Thanks Heinz

[The Jackal]

I'm in.

[PurdueBrad]

I need to try to get back into playing so I'll give it a shot.

[Alan T]

I'll play, but likely will have some days I completely will be quiet because of being busy with work.

[Lathum]

I may also be more wuiet then usual, I start school this week.

[claphamsa]

wait.... is this a repeat? or did you run the ruelset on TSW?

[jeheinz72]

I ran this game at TSW

I thought it looked familiar.

[The Jackal]

That being said, you'll all enjoy it.

[saldana]

probably in, but can you elaborate on the deadline...i have never seen this one before.

for example, if the day cycle deadline is 1pm on Tuesday, is the night cycle deadline 3pm on Tuesday, or 3pm on Wednesday?

[claphamsa]

3pm tuesday.

[claphamsa]

that way night actions have time to be put in....

[saldana]

so it is a 22 hour day phase and a 2 hour night phase...the rules post confused the crap out of me.

im in

[claphamsa]

heinze is good at that!

[RendeR]

Hrm, the 1pm dealines will make this tough. I'm usually on my way to work then, but I can check in prior to that and get a vote in.

What the hell.

In like a back splinter.

[Narcizo]

I'll play.

[PackerFanatic]

Agreed - I assumed that he meant a 2 hour night cycle (especially since he said 22/2) and that it was just a typo, heh.

[jeheinz72]

My posts are more easily discerned when you're in my head.

But yeah, 22/2, just something I forgot to give the once-over when copying the ruleset. The other site I ran this on more typically had a full day for each phase.

[illinifan999]

I'll jump in if there's room, if not just make me an alternate.

[jeheinz72]

Definitely room left! You're in!

Sign-ups still open until 9 AM EST tomorrow, at which point I'll get roles sent out. First deadlines will be 1 PM EST on Wednesday (Day 1) and 3 PM EST on Wednesday (Night 1)

[SnDvls]

like in if there is room

[Schmidty]

I can't play because of the deadline hours. It would be ok if the deadline was earlier, since I go to bed at 8 a.m. or so, so I'd miss 2 hours of craziness before the deadline.

That should be BUT I'd miss 2 hours of craziness before the deadline.

[jeheinz72]

Sorry Schmidty, maybe next time. I figure whenever I set the hours (due to the fact that I only do WW at work) someone gets hosed.

[jeheinz72]

Ok folks, just gotta look over some boxscores for an OOTP league then i'll get cracking on sending out roles.

Please no posting until I give the go ahead. Should be about 30ish minutes until I'm done.

[jeheinz72]

For reference, the PM each person will receive is going to nearly mirror the role description above.

[jeheinz72]

The game is afoot! Please post/PM any questions.

Day One deadline is 1 PM EST on Wednesday 9/24

[Alan T]

Received my PM and checking in.

[claphamsa]

[PackerFanatic]

This should be fun.

[illinifan999]

Just a regular trip to the bank for me.

[ntndeacon]
