WW XXIV: Treasure Hunt (GAME OVER!)

The rules you see below are pretty much the rules the game will run under, with only perhaps 1 or 2 minor changes between now and then. Please ask any questions or poke holes in the rules, as I wish to have the best set of rules possible.

Background:
BLAHOOP FINDS GOLD!

(Blahoop City) The small south pacific island country of Blahoop has discovered abundant gold reserves throughout the island. In an effort to spur tourism the country is opening the entire island, without restriction, to be dug by treasure hunters. However, in order to maintain some semblance of the country's natural beauty only a limited number of permits will be issued. All treasure hunters will be housed in a hut at the center of the island and treasure hunters will be limited in the hours they can search. The authorities promise severe penalties to anyone who violates these rules, though they have been known to be more than happy to assist those who offer small tips in appreciation. While some call these bribes, the Blahoopians deny that their government is anything but upstanding


Game Basics:

This game will center around finding and then harvesting gold. There are the traditional two sides, referred to as the pirates (the wolves) and the treasure hunters (the villagers). The complete rules will be contained here by the start of the game, including all roles and items. I’ll apologize upfront for the somewhat confusing cycle names, but well, I try and create a convincing game world, and who goes treasure hunting in the dark???

Game Etiquette
Please do not post any PMs you might receive from me. Feel free to paraphrase but outright posting is not allowed. What happens in the game should be based on what has happened in the game. Unless allowed by your role, please do not communicate with other players outside of the thread. If you are concerned that a strategy might not be allowed by the rules please contact me before attempting the strategy. Finally, lynched players are not necessarily dead and so they should refrain from posting or contacting others; if you need to commiserate send it my way :). Dead players, on the other hand, are dead and out of respect for the remaining players should not post or talk to other living players.

The last game of werewolf went well and I’m sure this game will be just as much fun.

Victory Conditions:

Each side has its own set of victory conditions.

For the treasure hunters victory is achieved when enough gold has been pooled together, to bribe the Blahoopian government to create a monopoly. Any person not contributing to the pool, including other treasure hunters, loses. This amount will be revealed when the final number of players is known.

For the pirates, victory is achieved when ALL other players are dead. Alternatively they may hire a group of mercanaries. The amount needed for mercanaries will be announced during the first Evening Cycle.

Cycles

The game will run on the following schedule (all times Eastern):
Evening (normally known as Day): This will run from approximately 9:30 AM (or whenever I finish processing the Morning cycle) to 8 PM. Someone will be arrested during this time.

Morning (normally known as Night): This will go from the time I post the lynch to 11 PM. All orders regarding are due at this time.

Afternoon (not normally in a game): This will go from 11 PM to approximately 9:30 AM and will be the time when I carry out the orders submitted. Once in a while a player might have a decision to make during this time, though I do not expect that to happen frequently.

Evening Cycle:

During the evening players adjourn to the hut provided by Blahoop. Any player who is not at the hut for two consecutive Evening Cycles, will die. As the players will know that some among them are pirates, who will stop at nothing to capture all the gold for themselves even through illicit means, unlike the treasure hunters who would NEVER use illicit means (*wink* *wink* *nudge* *nudge*).

All players will vote for a player who is to be arrested by the Blahoopian police on suspicion of being a pirate and murderer. The player with the most votes will be arrested and taken to jail. A tie will create confusion among the police (they’re simple island folk after all) and result in no arrest. While a player is in jail they may not vote or communicate with the rest of the players, but may be sprung from jail with a bribe.

No information about a player’s role is revealed when they are jailed. All of that player’s clothing and gold will be stored in the evidence room. Since it is evidence any gold the player is carrying when he is arrested CANNOT be used for bail. However, all property is returned to a player if they are bailed out.

Votes should be the last part of a post and be in bold

Example:
Quote:
I hate Barkeep.
Vote Barkeep49

Evening cycles will also feature auctions. Shady Sam will offer some good or service, normally not available through other places, which will go to the highest bidder. All bidding will be done in the thread. The person with the highest bid at the end of the Evening Cycle will win the item. Bids should be bold and appear at the end of a post (in other words bidding and voting must be done in separate posts). A player may bid any amount they wish, even if they do not have it, but bids may not be retracted and if a player can not pay the amount they will not like the consequence. If needed, funds in the bank will be automatically withdrawn.

Bids should look like this:
Quote:
That looks good.
Bid 2 Gold

Morning Cycle:

During the Morning Cycle players may go out to hunt for treasure. Each player will be granted a base amount of action points which they may use which are listed below. They should PM me with how they wish to use their action points. The PMS should look something like
Quote:
AP 1:
AP 2:
AP 3:
AP 4:
AP 5:

If something costs you more than one AP just do
AP 1-2:

The seperate lines are crucial for my ability to track everything.

Some items grant the ability to decrease the costs of performing certain actions, there by costing less action points (AP). Each player must return to the hut at the conclusion of the Morning Cycle except if using the “Camp Out” ability listed below. A player may issue conditional orders, such as “If there is a player in my square follow him, otherwise dig.” But please try and respect my sanity when issuing a conditional order.

Each Action Point is the equivalent of an hour and I ask that you please clearly differentiate your actions being used either through bolding or returns. Thanks.

Afternoon Cycle: Blahoop is very hot in the afternoon and so people don’t do much of anything except lie about. During this cycle I will send out results of individual’s Morning cycle and public information, such as the revelation of certain items bought (after all, how are you going to hide a bike in a hut with nothing, but a whole bunch of hammocks?) and who has died, will be posted to the thread. Any player killed will have their role revealed.

The Map
The map may be found here. All players start their Morning Cycles in square D4 (dead center of the map/island). Each square is a fairly big piece of land so players will not necessarily know if other players are in the same square, though when in a specific location in the square (such as a store) they will.

Some geographical features:
Jungles: The first time a player explores a particular jungle square it will cost 2 AP to use the move action. After that a player will have some bearings and it will cost 1.5 AP to use the move action through that square.

Mountains: Moving through a mountain square costs 2 AP

Road: Roads can decrease the movement cost for people with bicycles or who use a taxi. Note that that the road bonus applies when moving to a square with a road. So no bonus if a player moves from D2-D1, but the player will get the bonus if moving from D1-D2.

River: If a player is attempting to “cross” the river it costs 2 AP. The river runs approximately through the middle of the square. So for instance it costs 2 AP to move from F6 to F7 or G7, but any other movement will allow the player to stay on the same side of the river thus costing the normal AP. Note that the river can also cause some diagonal moves, such as from E6 to F7 to cost 2 AP.

Actions Available to All:
All actions cost 1 AP, unless otherwise specified. Other actions are available only to specific roles. All actions for a given turn are processed simultaneously. If needed, conflicts, such as two people trying to dig on a space with only 1 GP, will be decided randomly.

Buy: You may buy an item or service. You must be at the appropriate location to purchase the item or service.

Camp Out (May be used once per game and costs 0 AP): You will not return to the hut at the end of the Morning Cycle. Instead you will get 3 more APs which you may use. You will not be around to vote in the subsequent Evening Cycle. During the following Afternoon Cycle you will start in the last square you were in (rather than D4).

Dig: You will dig for gold in your current square. May be used in any square except D4. A repeated dig may or may not result in more gold, though all digs on a particular square will result in the same amount of gold (0-5 gold pieces or GP).

Give: A player may give another player an item or gold. Both players must be in the same square. The person receiving the item is not charged an AP. This action may also be used during the Afternoon and Evening Cycles, without any AP cost. However, if used during the Afternoon or Evening Cycles it should be posted in the thread and is considered public information, except that the pirates may pass their knife from one to another by PM’ing me.

Hide: You will hide in your current square. Any person watching you will be unable to do so. This may only be used once per day.

Move: You may choose to move from one square to another. You should specify where you are moving to and from. For instance “I move from D4 to E4”. You may move to any adjacent square, including diagonally. Certain traits and items/services allow you to move more than one square per AP. Also, certain squares might require additional action points to move through.

Watch: You will watch a person. That person must be in the same square as you when you use it. You will learn what that person does that turn, and if they are moving you will follow them. An attempt to use it on a second consecutive turn, unless the watcher has the sneaky trait, will result in the person being watched learning they are being watched. The person will automatically hide from the watcher, without an cost of an AP, on the next turn, while still being able to perform their designated action. The watcher will match the move AP costs of anyone being watched, such as through mountains or over rivers. The watcher will automatically use any equipment or knowledge they have to reduce movement costs.

Roles:

All roles will be in the game, though there may be more than 1 of some. Roles will either have traits, allowing for some additional ability, or actions, allowing for additional actions, or both.

Note: All pirates start the game with walkie talkies, replacement batteries, and 1 knife for the group.

Athlete (Treasure Hunter)
Fleet of Foot Trait: Once per Morning Cycle this player may move the equivalent of two AP with one move action

Cut Throat (Pirate)
Fleet of Foot Trait: Once per Morning Cycle this player may move the equivalent of two AP with one move action
Kill Action: If this player has the knife they may kill another play who is in the same square as they are.

Investigator (Treasure Hunter)
Sneaky Trait: This player may watch another player for additional turn without being noticed.

Paranoid (Treasure Hunter)
Shiftiness Trait: If this person is watched at any time they will know it, but not who is following them, and will automatically avoid being watched by that person the next turn, regardless of whether the person to watch them.

Scourge (Pirate)
Fleet of Foot Trait: Once per Morning Cycle this player may move the equivalent of two AP with one move action
Kill Action: If this player has the knife they may kill another play who is in the same square as they are.
Stalker: At the cost of 2 AP this player may use the sneaky trait, for a total of 3 AP to watch a player for 2 turns without being noticed. If this role is being used it should be clearly noted in the PM.

Swashbuckler (Pirate)
Fleet of Foot Trait: Once per Morning Cycle this player may move the equivalent of two AP with one move action
Friend with the Foes: This Pirate through his debonair attitude will once per game be able to Bail any person out of jail, including himself, for free.
Kill Action: If this player has the knife they may kill another play who is in the same square as they are.

Thug (Treasure Hunter)
Rob Action: Once per game this player may rob another player in the same square as they are. The Thug will gain all items and gold that player might have on them, though he may still only have 1 large item. The person being robbed will not know who did it.

Items and Services
Items and services may only be purchased at specific places. All items are either considered large or small. A player may only have 1 large item and may only have 1 of EACH small item.

Shady Sam’s Selection:
Shady doesn’t seem to really live anywhere. He just stands outside your hut at D4 all day long. People try not to spend too much time near him since his cologne is enough to make even a person without smell retch.

Treasure Map (1 GP; Small item): Shady insists it’ll help you find a large treasure hidden somewhere on the island. Of course it’s probably just some cheap thing you would give out at some pirate themed birthday party for a 5 year-old.

Mike’s Messaging (2 GP; Service): Need to send a private message to someone? Shady’s brother Mike is all too willing to help. Don’t let his two hearing aides make you think that he can’t hear perfec… acceptably well. If you want a reply Mike will cut you such a deal: only 1 GP to reply, making the whole package cost a total of 3 GP.

Bank informant (3 GP; Service): Shady knows someone at the bank and he’ll tell you how much money is in 1 player’s account, for just a small service charge.


Robber Randy (4 GP; Service): Shady says that you shouldn’t listen to the rumors about Randy. He’s just a stiff trying to make a living like everyone else. Anyway, Randy will steal either a small item or if they don’t have that half of the gold that player is carrying on them.
Rhonda the Rat (5 GP; Service): Rhonda works down at the station and hears all the good gossip. For this extremely affordable fee she’ll let you know what outstanding deals the police have with any players (though this does not apply to the Swashbuckler’s ability).

Gun (??; Small Item): This item will allow someone to kill another player from the same square or any adjacent square. Of course everyone will know that you were the one who shot the person. Oh and it only has one bullet so you better make it count. Shady isn’t saying how much it costs, just that he needs a favor, or two, done before he’ll even discuss the price (using the Buy Gun action will get you the information you need).

Monopoly (Announced during the first evening cycle; Service): Supposedly Sam’s uncle’s brother’s sister’s best friend’s cousin is the ruler of this place. Sam says he’d be happy to arrange a more exclusive license for a few of the treasure hunters. However, he does insist on performing a background check before issuing the licenses, so no pirates need apply. Shady says he can’t take the money directly, but needs it to be in be in the Bank of Blahoop. All players who are participating in the purchasing of the monopoly should tell Shady when they’re ready (so ALL players participating must use the Buy Monopoly action, and inform Shady who else is in their group, for it to work). Hopefully your group will not be beaten by a competing group of treasure hunters.

Bank of Blahoop
Located at D5 this bank is here for all of your financial needs.

Savings Account (0 GP; Service): You may open and then freely deposit to and withdraw from this account any gold you have. This ensures that it cannot be stolen from you and should you die, you could will it to another player. A free toaster is included (please include 8 GP Shipping and Handling for the toaster. Toaster will reach you in 4-6 weeks).

Safety Deposit Box (1 GP; Service): This combines all of the features of the Savings Account, but you may also deposit and withdraw small items.

Eric’s Error (4 GP; Service): Eric’s hard work has gone unappreciated by his higher ups and he is quite disgruntled. For the fee he will gladly make half the gold of 1 player disappear from their account. May only be used once a day by each player.

Ellie’s Emporium
Ellie is a retired American who came to get away from other Americans. She’s none too happy about this recent invasion of foreigners and the price tags, showing a price for Blahooians and Treasure Huntes, reflects her disdain. After all, the shovel HAS to be cheaper in whatever currency these Blahoopians use…

Athletic Shoes (2 GP; Small Item): Certifiably made my child labor, these shoes give you the ability to use the Fleet of Foot trait until they fall apart after two days of use.

Bicycle (3 GP; Large Item): Ellie promises that these Schwan bicycles are just as good as the company whose name they sound like. For every 2 move actions on a road these will allow you to move 3 squares.

GPS Satelite (3 GP; Small Item): Good for those of us who don’t know our right from our left, and North (down on a map) from our South (up). All Jungle squares are automatically considered explored (thus costing only 1.5 AP/move).

Party Mask (3 GP; Small Item): Who knew that they made masks of Chester Arthur? These one of a kind masks allow you to attempt the Rob Action, though you gain only 1/2 the gold a person has and none of their items. Unfortunately, the police department isn’t completely inept and so you can only use each mask once.

No Doze (3 GP; Small Item): Nothing like doing bad things to your body in the name of gold, huh? With these tablets you will receiving 2 extra AP during the next Morning Cycle. Your body needs sleep after using it, so it may not be used on two consecutive Morning Cycles.

Medal Detector (4 GP; Small Item) Whirr. Beep. Whirr. Beep. This will help you find more gold, at least until you get sick of finding bottle caps and destroy the thing. May do 2 dig actions for only 1 AP. May only be used twice and not on the same day. Limited quantities available so only one per player per game.

Mountain Bike (6 GP; Large Item): It seems as though all this bike happens to be, is a Schwan with different tires. Regardless of its actual ruggedness, this bike allows you to move through any non-Jungle or Mountain square for the cost of 3 squares per 2 AP spent on move. However, since it’s a tad heavy so you gain no advantage when crossing a river.

Climbing Gear (6 GP; Large Item): This assortment of useful tools and weird clippie things allows you to pretend to be Edmund Hillary. More importantly it makes movement in the mountains only cost 1 AP per move action.

Walkie Talkies (6 GP; Small Item): Everyone had a set of these as a kid. Cheap. Plastic. Absolutely no range. But it should be enough to allow you to communicate privately with whoever has the other one during the Afternoon and Evening cycles. At least until the batteries die.

Shovel (6 GP; Large Item): Now that you’ve met Ellie the strange ban on bringing in digging equipment makes a lot more sense. With this shovel you should be able to get 50% more gold per dig action (but it doesn’t enable you to get more gold then a square has).

Police Station
If the *!&# authorities would just pay these men what they deserved then maybe they’d be a little more honest in performing their duties. Each service may only be purchased once per day, by each player, unless otherwise specified. All services are nonrefundable, but they will give you a receipt so you can try and deduct it from your taxes.

If anything should ever happen… (1 GP; Service): The police respect the cautious sort. The kind that would make arrangements in case they were ever arrested. The kind that is willing to pay gold to get something they might not ever need to use. If you are ever arrested you may send a 20 word message to the rest of the Treasure Hunters. This should be PM’ed to me and I will then publicly post it. May only be purchased once (unless you are arrested and subsequently freed from jail)

I’m just an innocent (2 GP; Service): Perhaps it’s the dimples. Or those puppy dog eyes, but the police think well of you. Oh wait. Who are we kidding? It’s your gold. Regardless of why they like you, you will have one less vote count against you during the next Evening Cycle. This is announced at the end of the Evening Cycle, if used.

Extra Say (3 GP; Service): With a little money suddenly your opinion about who to arrest seems a little more important. You gain an extra public vote during the next Evening Cycle. This will be announced at the start of the cycle.

Look at the Evidence Room (4 GP; Service): Learn the role, if any, of one person who has been arrested.

Not the brightest bulb… (5 GP; Service): You’re just doing a public service really. Some people just aren’t able to handle the responsibilities that are incumbent with the right to vote. Using Shady as your messenger (PM’ing to me at least 30 minutes before the lynch), you may designate one player whose vote will be publicly changed to yours.

Just between the 2 of us (5 GP; Service): With just a few simple words, and the sliding of your gold on the counter, a lifelong… err cycle long friendship has been struck between you and the men in blue. You may cast an extra secret vote on a player of your choice. If different from who your public vote is on it should be given to Shady (in other words PM’ed to me at least 30 minutes before the lynch).

Doughnuts (6 GP; Service): Mmm. Tasty. The officers will be so occupied by their delicious delectable delicacy that they will forget to show up to arrest anyone during the next Evening Cycle. Can only be used once by each player and may not be used two days in a row.

Bail (7 GP; Service): Money speaks and it says that someone should get out of jail. You may free one person from jail. If you’re the one in jail and have sufficient funds in your savings account, the police will generously withdraw the amount for you.

Other Services

Taxi (1 GP Per Square Moved; Service): Karl’s Kabs provides taxi service that would terrify any New York cabbie. It is highly recommended you do not tell your cabbie that Kabs is not a real word. You may call for a Taxi from any building on the map (this includes the Hut, Seaport, and Dock). You may move anywhere on the map that there is a road using only 1 AP.

Riverboat (2 GP; Service): You may move between the docks for only 1 AP.

Mercanaries (???; Seaport Service): If the Pirates earn enough gold they can bring in some of their mercanary friends who will "help" the Blahoopians see the error of their ways in not giving the Pirates all the gold. The amount needed will be announced on Evening 1. As Mercanaries are not a trust worthy bunch, all gold to pay them must be in the Bank of Blahoopian though only one Pirate need come down to the Seaport to hire them.

Getting Killed

Sorry but there’s just no coming back from death, but you have one final chance to influence the game from beyond the grave. If you get killed any gold and items on you will go to the Pirate who killed you. However, if you wish you may leave a “will”. Any money or objects stored in the bank will automatically be transferred to that player. A will must be included in the PM orders during the Morning Cycle. A will continues to be effect unless I am notified otherwise.

Hey I think if hoops had published his game as rules it would have rivaled mine . I'm just am upfront about it and try to be thorough to avoid ambigoutity or doing rule disputes during the game.

Who ran that game with the spaceship and the searching for water? That was complex, but very very fun. There were a lot of decisions to make which I thought added to the game.

I hoping to replicate the decision making aspect here with the reintroduction of APs and the ability to buy abilities and items. I appreciate the kind words about Spawn and am thinking of possibly doing a sequel this summer when I should theoretically have time to do it.

Spawn was an excellent game:
1.) The introduction of ... for the dead guys (or coma guys)
2.) Dubb going down fighting/screaming when he was the scientist poisoning the water (I think he has said since that game that he didn't poison, but the rolls were just way, way off in different directions)
3.) Vince as converted doctor
4.) Lynching the captain
5.) Making Blade open up the brig each night, bitter with his lot in life and lack of trust
6.) Having a choice between two spawn on the first day - or was it the 2nd day
7.) Ardent getting the bum end of a mutiny

Very possibly my favorite game, although it took awhile to get the majority of the rules straight.

I'm never a wolf, as far as you know.

Blade is really never a wolf, or at least has not been for 15+ games. And it really gets to him ...

Ok if I had been smart I'd have had a placeholder post to post this, but alas I was not. Anyhow here is the map. It might undergo a change or two before the final game, but this will be what it is substantially like. I have added in descriptions of the various geographical features under the map section. Also if you've been reading along, check out the new auction feature that will occur during the Evening cycles.

Not once, infact I believe I had the option to either destroy the days water, do nothing, or use my scientist power to bring in more water. Every single day I acted as a scientist in order to look good.

Was just unlucky, it seemed that everyday the people in charge ordered every single spawn on the mission and we had some bad rolls. Ended up costing me my life

I appreciate the kind words Packer.

As noted in the first post, the complete first draft of the rules is up. I will be doing my best to balance everything and hope to have everything finalized by Monday so that we could start at a moment's notice when Ardent's game ends.
