Ok, now that we've completed A.I, it's time to start the next one. For those of you that are new, and haven't yet seen the rules here they are
Y'all live in a cozy little town close to the middle of nowhere, and a group of aliens has decided to abduct members of the town to run their crazy experiments on up in the mothership. It's up to you to root them out before they abduct you all one by one during the night, and replace you all with life like copies.

Townsfolk: The simple people that the aliens have chosen to abduct. It is your job to decipher who among you are the imposters and destroy them.

Aliens: The slimy little green creatures that are selecting the unsuspecting to experiment on and make new discoveries.

Area 51 employees (Masons): The fabled area 51 has determined where the aliens will strike next by interrogating a stranded alien from their last venture to Earth. A group of these scientific minds have infiltrated the town and assumed the roles of residents.

Crazy escaped abductee (Fool): This person was abducted by the aliens but has escaped. The disturbing tests the escapee has been put through, has altered his mental state. He now thinks that he can identify the aliens, but the drugs they have given him are interfering with his rationalization

Agent Fox Mulder (Seer): Agent Mulder works for the FBI's branch of the unexplainable. He was also able to find out where the aliens were to attack through his various contacts. Through his various adventures with Scully, he has become very adept at blending into new surroundings and identifying aliens.

Big Freakin' Alien (Devil): The mother alien. All the little ones come running to her every night a drop of her infinite knowledge.

Town radio DJ (Baner): The DJ has read somewhere that the aliens don't like Country music, so every night, he will find some he wants to keep from abduction by playing country music outside their house.

The Twist:

There is a random chance that an abductee can escape their captors and make it back down to Earth. When this happens, one of two things can happen from this. One, the townsperson who makes it down was has not been probed and had their implant put in yet. Due to the drugs used by the aliens, they remember nothing of what happened and return as normal people. Two, the implant was successfully placed into the abductee, and you are sent back home. But, now the aliens have control of your mind, and your new objective is to protect the aliens at all cost, even sacrificing yourself as necessary. (essentially you have become anti-masons). Any Area 51 members that get abducted and have implants put in them automatically fail due to the preventative measures they have taken knowing how the alien technology works.

Regarding Fox Mulder and the crazy abductee, both start out as normal townspeople, and after being abducted some time during the game either remember who they are, or think they can identify the aliens.

I'm going to open registration for one week starting now, and see where things stand then. (registration will end Sunday June 17th). I will need a co-narrator for this, so if you're interested, please PM me. But, if Castaras would like to do it again, she gets preference.

One more thing. I'm tossing around the of having a secret rule for the game that the players may, or may not find out during the game. I haven't decided I will have one yet, or what it will be, but if I do decide to have it, I will let everyone know before the start of the game.

May as well, I'm destined to give Castaras a run for her money on max WW games played in. Besides, these are fun, and it looks like an awesome game, and I've never played Alien before.

Thanks for running this!

I've never played a structured game before, but I would like to try. I someone could PM me on how to play that would be great.

Sounds cool! I've never played a structured game before either, but i'd like to play too if someone would PM me the rules.

Mordokai
2007-06-10, 11:31 AM
I want in too!

I'm just not sure how this goes, but I think after reading first three pages of previous AI topic I get the point pretty much. Is there any special rules that I should be aware of?

Zar Peter
2007-06-10, 11:59 AM
So, I would volunteer as co-narrator if you like but I have to say that my story writing is not very good.

If another one likes to co-narrate I would like to play.

That is the rules for the game of Werewolf from which this game is based on. There are a few changes for this game, which are in the first post, but the basic game you need to know is there.

Also, new players may wish to check out the stickied thread Werewolf Central (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=36074) in the Structured Games sub-forum.

If you have any questions after that, read through some of the game threads or just PM me.

When I saw this, it looked like it would have been conducted over PMs, otherwise there wouldn't be a reason to accuse anybody. Is this assumption accurate?

Xykon_Fan
2007-06-11, 05:04 PM
Well, there's a secret and public portion of this game. Every night, anyone with a role which requires a secret action PMs the narrator and co-narrator. Every day, everyone in the village (including villains, etc.) narrates what their character is doing, and points at someone (using red texting) to vote for who they think might be an alien and who they want to lynch by mob-violence. Now, you do have to lynch someone, or you will be auto-lynched by default. It's unfair, but it's the way it works. It creates what's known as "first-day reasoning"..."Well, we gotta kill someone, so let's kill someone relatively random!"

General rule of thumb...keep your role a secret until you know for certain who you can trust. Do that, and you'll be fine.

I'm in for sure. Rather then MIB role in this game, I think I'll go with ET this time.

Make that GT for Graklok Terrestrial.

Except Graklok won't fit into a bike basket. I'll need to think about this some. :smalltongue:

Hey guys, sorry for not checking this later. We just finished a 7 game homestand leading up to the all star break. I'll take a count of who we've got later as now I have to call AAA and get my car towed to a shop for some work. Oh, and bump, we could definitely use some more players.

Ok guys, work has still been a little crazy, but I do have off until Monday now, and have updated the player list. We're currently at 29, and a few more people would be nice, so I've decided that I"ll keep it open until sometime this Sunday. After that I'll PM doilemaster, and we'll have the roles out sometime before a week from today (thursday the 28th).

Ok, I just closed recruiting for the game. We've got a total of 32 players for the game. I'll have a little chat with doilemaster, and we'll have to roles out by Thursday. I"m still tossing the secret rule (or maybe role), but I haven't come to a decision yet on it. So get ready for the probing, er I mean fun to begin.

Yeah! Let Alarra in. Because if there's not a little girl running around calling things nalien's then my game is just going to be way off.

((Pssst, to everyone else. The narrator's usually die in the first post, so pointing at them here doesn't do much. But I will definitely point at them in other WW games if they don't let Alarra in this one! :smallwink: ))

Hmmm...I'm not sure if I can trust you two, but then again Shadow hasn't been lynched before the game started, so I'll agree with you for now and point at Shadow. So help me if it turns out he doesn't have a role yet, I'm coming after you. ((:smallbiggrin: ))

Xykon_Fan
2007-06-26, 10:25 AM
Hey, Alarra, the game's not started yet...:smalltongue: (Sorry, couldn't resist...well, I could, but I didn't)

I'll point at Atreyu

You know, if we change our points after the game starts, we can tell who is in league with Shadow, since they won't point at an alien. (There's no question as to whether Shadow has a role or not yet.)

Haha, I was actually right on a couple. Oh well, easier when I quote and find all the answers.

1. The seer isn't a seer in this game.
2. The seer doesn't become the seer until mid game.
3. There hasn't been a night yet.
4. Shadow hasn't been assigned a role yet.

(Yay! Invisible Text!)

Two of my (incorrect) answers:
1. You could be the fool.
2. You probably should have scried Shadow...not the land itself. However, as long as we're here, what was the land's role?
3 & 4. I thought maybe you were pointing to grammatical errors possibly, but was going to bring up your 3 & 4.

Supagoof
2007-06-27, 09:48 AM
No, you see, I'm just trying to throw a wrench into the gears. By lynching someone before the game starts, we are stopping the first day jitters of random pointing. Now we can point the first day based on these non-points pre-first day. Get the logic going early people.

Plus, Shadow wins something* if he survives a game. If he's dead before he starts, he'll win because he started the game dead and ended the game dead, thus not changing his placement from when the game starts. If he's dead, he can't die again right?

So I'll still point at Shadow.

((*Wins something? Really? No. Not really. Maybe a hug from me, if you consider that a prize....))

I hope I get a role! Pleeeeeease!

Eh, whatever, being a paranoid villager can be fun too. It'd be nice if I actually managed to snag a role in the four WW games I'm in right now though that haven't started yet. I tend to have pretty bad luck with snagging roles in real life, so I'm hoping Zeb's (slightly) unbiased program will actually give me some occasionally. Thus, a new WW maniac is born who signs up for EVERY single game.

Pretty soon, I'll be popular enough to be lynched constantly out of pure paranoia! Yay!

Will this thing ever start? Chances are that I'm going to miss a week from the game now.

Ok, I've sent out half the roles, and doliemaster should be sending the other half out shortly. I'll have the game thread up tomorrow after I get back from work. (around midnight EST). If you don't have your role by then, please send me a message. Then it's time to get our lynch on.

See, even Shadow knows that Shadow is an Alien :smallwink:

Wow.
That was bad timing.

Shadow: I'm an Alien!

PGCoD: Roles were just sent out.

Shadow: D'oh!

I still haven't gotten mine, so don't read too much into this....

If shadow dies can I be the heir to his throne? Oooh, then I will definitely kill him.
Not gonna happen, dude.... You'll have to pry the throne from my cold dead hands.

You could be biased you know.

Hey, I was reading Purple's post, and I noticed something. How are you going to know if you were supposed to get a role? Don't most commoners just lack a notification?

You are aware that you're getting lynched on day 1, aren't you?

XF:
All players (even "villagers") should get their roles PM'd to them.
I've seen games where people, on day one, say "Hey. I didn't get a PM staing my role!"
Which meant that you were a villager.

And everyone knew it.

It made the game harder on everyone that HAD a role, because they were immediately targets.

Skippy:
Meh, whatever....
There's plenty more games if that happens....

Okay, I just wasn't sure if that was common to all WW games now. I know RV II did that, but I wasn't sure if that was common practice.

That's a very nice attitude towards your continual first-day or beginning of game deaths. It's gotta be hard being you. :smalltongue: Wait, didn't I say earlier I was gonna be your heir? Oh no! :smallannoyed: No, that's cool. At least I'd be famous on the boards.

Shadow

I'm not famous on the boards....

In forums other than SMBG, people hardly know I exist....

True, but the SMBG boards are what really count anyway. Or at least, they count in every way that's not related to the title lists. Either way, I rarely check any of the other boards, so I don't tend to meet people from the other areas.

Your role is Keyblade Master

You have 4 day night cycles to find the Keyhole and seal the Heartless away. You cannot be abducted by aliens, but you can be lynched. You must post once an hour for 48 hours straight or else the keyhole is sealed and you will die. After that, you only need to post once every 3 hours. If you do this for 4 days, you win a special prize.

I also haven't been given my role, so I think Doilemaster may have not gotten the rest of the roles out. I don't know. Purple? Doile? No worries about getting the roles out immediately. However, by the same token, an explanation would help us to be more patient. Once again though, no pressure.

Actually Atreyu, that gives me an idea for a game. Has an SMBG Scavenger Hunt ever been played? Hmmmm...Ideas, ideas. I'll go post them in the non-structured games area for critique.

Be patient, my padawan.
The Roles will be forthcoming soon....

He must've really already gotten his role and is trying to throw us all off the scent!! :smallwink:
