Rockstar 3 Recruitment

[Raistlin1040]

Hello everyone, recruiting for Rockstar 3 (Subtitle pending) here. With luck, the game will start on eiter December 29th or December 30th, though it's possible it may be delayed until January 2nd depending on Holiday inconvinances. I *am* looking for a co-narrator, and I would appreciate it if anyone volunteered.
So, rules. Even if you've played a WereWolf, even one of the other Rockstars before, I suggest you read the new rules. We had some balance issues in the pasts concerning the Bands, and I'd like to thank Freshmeat for helping me make the game more fair.

The Rules of RAWK
First off, the roles.

Band Members: Rather than Masons and Villagers, Rockstar plays with Bands, a sort of combination. Each Band Member will be assigned a Name and a Band, but not start off knowing any other band members. Rockstar.

Band Leader: Band Leaders are the de facto leaders of their Band. They will also be given a Name and Band. Each night, a Band Leader has a recruitment ability. If they recruit someone who is a member of their Band, the two are introduced, and become Masons, in effect. Here's an example.

Player A is Mick Jagger, leader of the Rolling Stones, Player B is Ronnie Wood, Rolling Stones Member, and Player C is Robert Smith, Leader of The Cure. At night, Players A and C have their Night recruitment ability. Both players try to recruit B. As a Rolling Stone, Player A's recruitment suceeds, and both A and B are sent a PM telling them who each other is. Player C's recruitment fails and he is sent back a PM stating that it failed. Rockstar.

Jimi Hendrix (Seer): Jimi Hendrix, Rock Immortal, is the game's Seer. Each Night, he can consult with the Rock Gods to determine the role of another player in the mighty cosmic Purple Haze of the world...Or something like that. He will be given the player's Role, but NOT a name, if they have one. Rockstar.

Serj Tankian (Baner): As the former singer for System of a Down, and co-founder of the non-profit organization Axis of Justice, Serj Tankian is well verse din how to get around greedy corporate Execs. Each night, he can protect one player from being killed. Rockstar.

The Dating Fans (Lovers): Poor Dating Fans. Just a pair of 20somethings who came to a rock concert together on a date, they find themselves mixed up in the madness that followed. They begin the game knowing each other, but one dies, so does the other. Rockstar.

The Roadie (Fool): The Roadie has been with Jimi since day one, fixing his guitars, hauling his amps, and driving the tour bus when the driver was passed out in a hotel room somewhere. Jimi gave him a few lessons one day, and the Roadie earned a shred of skill. Unfortunately, it all went to his head, and he decieved himself into thinking HE was the legendary Jimi Hendrix. He gets a scry each night, but the results are random. If he scries Jimi, he will see him as the Roadie. Rockstar.

Execs (Wolves): The Execs have no souls. Determined to ruin the world of music by putting out generic, boring albums, they are the bane of all that is artistic. Each night the Execs will reach a consensus and send the narrators a PM detailing who they want to kill (Read: Kidnap, and force to make horrible pop albums until they're crazy, and have lost all talent). Exec.

Sell-Out (Devil): The Sell-Out was in a popular 80s glam band back in the day, but since then, he's cut his hair, wiped off his makeup, and traded in his platform boots and leather for a suit and tie, in exchange for the big bucks at the corporation. Still, he's not stupid, and his key knowledge of the music industry gives him an edge as an Exec. Every night, he can use a bit of his smarts to figure out another player's role. Exec.

NOTE: If you find other members of your band, you are not allowed to reveal that you share a band in the game thread. Saying "I won't point at X because he's in my band" will get both of you killed by the Narrators. Don't do it please.

Win Conditions: The Rockstars win if all the Execs, including the Sell-Out are killed. The Execs win if their numbers, including the Sell-Out, equal the number of Rockstars.

Autolynches: I don't do them. I don't enjoy making lists of who's voted and who hasn't, so it's most likely they won't happen. If I can work something out with a Co-Narrator, it's possible they will happen, and I will inform you guys in the game thread. Either way, PLEASE only sign up if you actually intend to play.

As per most WereWolf games, days will last about 48 hours, and nights will last around 24 hours.

[Reinholdt]

WW game? In.

[Shadowcaller]

I guess someone have to start the sign up, now prepare to be swarmed by players! (I'm in)

^Well, crap, seems I was not first this time:smallcool:.

[Dallas-Dakota]

Craaaap.

*is dragged in*

Looking forward to it!

[Fan]

Will play. As Adam from 3 Days Grace.

[Murska]

Will play. Hoping that Muse is in the game. :smallbiggrin:

[Dirk Kris]

Raist, I'll play or co-narrate, whichever you prefer.

Be warned, however, that I'll be gone from mid next week until after the new year.

[Jontom Xire]

In, but you need to sort this out...



NOTE: If you find other members of your band, you are not allowed to reveal that you share a band in the game thread. Saying "I won't point at X because he's in my band" will get both of you killed by the Narrators. Don't do it please.


So, in version one of this rule where you only die if the statement is true, I can prove I'm not an exec because when someone is scried provably as an exec I say "I'm in the same band as Y" and when we don't get killed it proves the statement false and therefore proves me as a rockstar.

In version two of the rule where you get killed for making such a statement whether it is true or false, it basically becomes a suicide kill. So if the devil scries the baner, a lowly and expendable wolf states "I'm in the same band as Y" and you can kiss goodbye to the baner. Similarly if the seer scries an exec, he gives the nod to a brave rockstar who makes a similar statement and an exec bites the dust without having to go to the trouble of outing him publically and risking a role, etc. etc.

I mention this now because it will save EDK from a day one lynch, again, when he comes up with it after the game has started. We all know how he likes to exploit the letter of rules like this.

Anyway this rule breaks the game and you need to find another way around it.

One possible option is that if the statement is true you kill both people and if it isn't then you only kill the person who stated it. This should solve the problem. I think.

Most correc,t thought I must point out there are multiple bands...

[TwoBitWriter]

What they hey, I think I'll give it a try... Might be a fun change of pace. :smallbiggrin:

[Jontom Xire]

Yes, but it doesn't matter which one you're in as long as it isn't the same as the execs.

Of course, technically the execs aren't really a band at all, so even if an exec said it it might count as false.

However I still think that someone like EDK could find a way to prove guilt or innocence by not getting killed if you make a statement about being in the same band as someone and not dying because the statement is false.

[Dallas-Dakota]

Hmm, true.

[Emperor Demonking]

Sign me up.

[Dr. Bath]

In.

I think it would work better if it was just whoever outed themselves who gets killed, not the one they implicated (perhaps their role is not revealed on death?), even if the statement is correct. Since none of the power-roles are in bands, it would only make one person a known Rockstar, who would likely then be killed. And even then, you don't know that the person revealing roles is telling the truth.

Although Jontom's solution would work too. (and is a little simpler)

[Boo]

In on a sunny day

I'm going to put it simply. It's against the spirit of the game. If you try and screw with the game like this, bad things will happen. Therefor, I ask that you simply not do it. Just don't do it.

Also Dirk, I'd love to have you co-narrate, but it comes down to what you'd rather do, play or narrate.

[Mustiado]

I remember so clearly now. Rockstar was my very first WW game. That we won despite me killing one of my own bandmates.

I gotta play this again.

[Hyozo]

I think I'll join this one.

[Aemoh]

Never learn. In. Yadda yadda :smalltongue:

[Uncle Festy]

Yes.
So very yes.

[Mustiado]

I know they're not 'classic' rock, but I'd like to request to be one of the Dude Choir of Bang Camaro.

They're awesome, you know.

[Raistlin1040]

Yes, they are awesome. But we have to have multiple bands, and I can't just put everyone in the Dude Choir.

Nope, likely sticking with my faves. The Beatles, Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, Aerosmith, The Rolling Stones, Guns N' Roses, KISS. So yeah, classic rock.

[TwoBitWriter]

What about the Sex Pistols? They are pretty classic, man! :smalltongue:

But seriously, you named off some damn good bands all the same. David Bowie FTW! (I love him more than a straight man should.)

[Raistlin1040]

I prefer The Clash and The Ramones when it comes to 1st Gen Punk.

Also, I think David Bowie turned me bisexual. Pretty sure.

[TwoBitWriter]

David Bowie has the power to turn any man bisexual :smalltongue:

I do like The Clash, a lot. Mainly because I think they were better musicians and that they weren't nihilistic like the pistols were. I mean, Mick Jones and Joe Strummer were so damn good at what they did.

Ramones are also fun for listening to.

Yeah, I would put in The Clash over Sex Pistols. I just happened to be listening to them on my Mp3 player when I was posting. :smallwink:

[Boo]

No chance of the Who going on your list?

Also, has anyone ever heard of Teenage Head? >>

[Raistlin1040]

All depends on how many players we have. More players=More Bands.

[Raistlin1040]

Alright, Dirk Kris has confirmed that he'd like to be my co-narrator.

[hap_hazard]

In. :smallbiggrin:

[Zar Peter]

Ah yes, sign me up. Hope the rules are working.

[Raistlin1040]

>.>
<.<

Hey punks, we need more players.

[TwoBitWriter]

Punks (http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=GzmNzJgvKFo) you say? :smallbiggrin:

Maybe we can be a bit more proactive in our recruitment, start PMing people or something.

[GAThraawn]

Dang. I actually managed to resist long enough to click away to another window...in.

Although I would like to open by pointing out that Jontom Xire and Dallas-Dakota are both in my band. :smallbiggrin:

[happyturtle]

Twobit totally failed to try and recruit me even though we chat every day and he knows I'm a werewolf player.

I'm in.

[TwoBitWriter]

Twobit totally failed to try and recruit me even though we chat every day and he knows I'm a werewolf player.

I was getting around to it! We have only been chatting every day for a week now...:smallredface:

[Raistlin1040]

Yay, players!

Ideally guys, and I'm aware this may not happen, I would like 25 players at least.

[Boo]

C'mon, people! Keep the soul of rock alive!

[Dallas-Dakota]

Yay, players!

Ideally guys, and I'm aware this may not happen, I would like 25 players at least.
I already signed up.:smallwink:

Com'on sign up for this game and my LotR ww game!

siiign up!

You know you want to...

[Murska]

Hey, come on, sign up... I want this game to start!

[Vampiric]

Yeah, I'll join.

It's basically lots of little groups of masons, and a groups of wolves? Are the baner and seer affiliated with a band, or are they independants?

[Raistlin1040]

Baner, seer, fool, and lovers are independant. The masons are only actually masons if the band leaders can find their bandmates.

[Vampiric]

Ah, ok. Hence the 'no saying I'm band X'.

[Raistlin1040]

*Pokes the thread* Get back up there and draw more players, you lazy excuse for a thread.

[Raistlin1040]

Due to Dirk's absence, the large number of games currently running and recruiting, and my recent discovery of Post-New Years plans, the new start date is set for January 8th/9th.

[Boo]

DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE!! Sign up!

[TwoBitWriter]

I have, since signing up for this game, become quite the WW junkie. So I should fit in great with the theme... :smalltongue:

Plus I spent most of the 16 hour drive to Indiana jamming in the backseat of a minivan to Flogging Molly, Clash, and Billy Joel :smalltongue:

[Vampiric]

Flogging Molly

Suh-weet!! :smallbiggrin:

We're seven drunken pirates.... :smalltongue:

[RabbitHoleLost]

And here comes a singin' little Rabbit, all ready to try WWs again...
Noir should be along soon, too.

[Noir_Cat]

HONEY!! I'M HooooooOOOOOOoooooMMMMMMMEEEEE!!!!!


I could say that I was sorry.....but I'm not. Count me in, because RHL will poke me if I don't join. That and a Rockstar themed WW game sounds amazing. Almost as amazing as the Batman themed one. Almost.

[Uncle Festy]

And here comes a singin' little Rabbit, all ready to try WWs again...

YAAAAY!
Rabbit, you're back!
Let's hope this run goes better then Titans 2. :smallwink:

[Korias]

I learned from my mistakes last time. Got room for one more?:smallamused:

[TwoBitWriter]

We're seven drunken pirates.... :smalltongue:

We're the seven deadly sins! :smalltongue:

[Raistlin1040]

Korias, we've got room to spare.

Yay players!

[Noir_Cat]

This should be good, Raistlin. As long as I get a good artist, that is. :smallamused:

Seriously, though. Rai has good taste in music (I've been keeping up with doings between Rabbit and Amour).

[Lamech]

Well, this looks fun so I'll join.

[Dirk Kris]

The co-narrator has returned!
And with plenty or terrible/hilarious death ideas in me head.

[Dallas-Dakota]

YAAAAY!
Rabbit, you're back!
Let's hope this run goes better then Titans 2. :smallwink:
Yes, let's hope so indeed. ^^
I think titans to ended up badly for everybody. Surviving till end of game as the only person on my team for more then 5 days I think ^^, and then being killed as the last action:smallannoyed::smalltongue:

[Noir_Cat]

When does it start again? Yay, laziness by just asking instead of searching on my own!!

[Raistlin1040]

Friday, Noir.

[Lex-Kat]

If I get to be a band leader, can I be Freddie Mercury??

In, btw.

[Noir_Cat]

It starts Friday?! YAAAAYY!!! *bounces around*

[RabbitHoleLost]

:: bounces with Noir::
I'm e'sited...

[Mordokai]

Yeah, ok, I'll join too.

If it's not too late by now.

[Helgraf]

Suppose I can give this another stab...

[RabbitHoleLost]

Yeah, ok, I'll join too.

If it's not too late by now.

Bouncing girls always get Mordokai's attention :smallamused:

[TFT]

Well, I just got lynched in a different game, opening up my scedule a bit... so I'll join this game.

[Mordokai]

Bouncing girls always get Mordokai's attention :smallamused:

Quiet, girl and bounce some more :smalltongue:

[Noir_Cat]

Yeah, ok, I'll join too.

If it's not too late by now.

Yay!!! Mordy joins!

I knew bouncing was a good idea. Rabbit said, "No, Kitty, you don't want to do that. It's a bad idea..."

But look now! Mordokai has proved you wrong.


Yeah...I really don't know either...

Yay!! White Text of Invisibleness!!

[Lex-Kat]

Bouncing girls always get Mordokai's attention :smallamused:

Bouncing girls get most men's attention. :smalltongue:

[RabbitHoleLost]

Yes, let's hope so indeed. ^^
I think titans to ended up badly for everybody. Surviving till end of game as the only person on my team for more then 5 days I think ^^, and then being killed as the last action:smallannoyed::smalltongue:

Well, I think Festy said that because I had the incredible misfortune to pick Titans as my first WW game, and was randomly selected to be Baner.
It kinda turned me off WW games >>

[Uncle Festy]

Well, I think Festy said that because I had the incredible misfortune to pick Titans as my first WW game, and was randomly selected to be Baner.
It kinda turned me off WW games >>

Summat like that, yeah.

[Raistlin1040]

Recruitment is CLOSED.

The game will begin tomorrow night, and role PMs will be coming either tonight or tomorrow.

[Shadow]

Could I talk you into allowing one more?
:puppydogeyes:
Well, I think Festy said that because I had the incredible misfortune to pick Titans as my first WW game, and was randomly selected to be Baner.
It kinda turned me off WW games >>And yeah, that's almost as bad as playing Vampire as your first game.
You need something a little more interactive and a little less individualized early one.
This is actually a REALLY good game to get your feet wet in, because you get to play as a team. :smallbiggrin:

[Raistlin1040]

>.>

<.<

*Slides open door, grabs Shadow by the hair and drags him inside*

But only because you're Shadow.

[Shadow]

thankee kindly, sai

[Raistlin1040]

PMs have been sent. If you didn't recieve one, or are confused, PM me back, and I'll get you set up.

[Noir_Cat]

I am assuming that there shall be a new thread?

[Uncle Festy]

This is actually a REALLY good game to get your feet wet in, because you get to play as a team. :smallbiggrin:

Well, I mean, technically Rabbit and I were a team, but… then I died on night three. :smallsigh:
*waits for thread*

[TwoBitWriter]

Still here, ready to ROCK! :smallbiggrin:

[happyturtle]

*tumbles out of bed*

*pours a cup of ambition*

Alright, I'm ready! (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=jqiwEafCJ74&feature=related)

:smallbiggrin: I haven't heard that song in a while. :smallbiggrin:

[RabbitHoleLost]

Well, I mean, technically Rabbit and I were a team, but… then I died on night three. :smallsigh:
*waits for thread*

Yeah, the one night I didn't use my super bane powers on you, I think :smallfrown:

[Mordokai]

Yeah, the one night I didn't use my super bane powers on you, I think :smallfrown:

Hey, I was rather happy because of that :smalltongue: :smallbiggrin:

[RabbitHoleLost]

Hey, I was rather happy because of that :smalltongue: :smallbiggrin:

:; shakes fist at::
Curse you, Villain! Curse yooooooooouuuuuuuuuuu...

[Mordokai]

Hey, I could fry you instead, you know. In any case, three dead gods by my hand is not a bad accomplishment in any case :smallsmile:

[Shadow]

*goes to check old narrator spread*
You would have killed 4 gods, but Recaiden voided your kill of Piratemonk. And a good thing too, or you'd have killed one of your own team....

[Lex-Kat]

Now I know NEVER to trust Mordokai again. He kills his own team, for the sake of the win.

I'd sooner trust Shadow again. :tongue:

[Mordokai]

*goes to check old narrator spread*
You would have killed 4 gods, but Recaiden voided your kill of Piratemonk. And a good thing too, or you'd have killed one of your own team....

Good thing, bad thing. I suspect the damn voider was what caused my demise... :smallannoyed:

As for you Lexy... I was blind. I don't kill my team, if it can be avoided.

[Lex-Kat]

:smallwink: It's okay Mordy. I believe you. No, serious. I do. :smallwink: :smallwink:

[RabbitHoleLost]

:: shakes fist at Mordokai again::
:: and then at Shadow for good measure::

[Mordokai]

:smallwink: It's okay Mordy. I believe you. No, serious. I do. :smallwink: :smallwink:

Sucker... :smallamused:

*kisses Rabbit and runs away*

You're cute when you're shaking your fists :smallbiggrin:

[Reinholdt]

*shoots Mordokai in the leg as he's running*

*whistles and walks away innocently* :smallamused:

[Lex-Kat]

You're cute when you're shaking your fists :smallbiggrin:

Why the limitation. She's cute, period.

[Uncle Festy]

Yeah, the one night I didn't use my super bane powers on you, I think :smallfrown:

Really? I remember our strategy was to bane other people, because it was unlikely that we would get targeted. I know you baned Zeb night two (or at least said you did), but I don't have any records for the night one bane.
Anyways…
*beats down bad memories*

[Reinholdt]

:smallsigh:
You guys do know that you WON that game, right?
*grumbles about being lynched day 1 AND a villain so he couldn't even snub people later*

[Uncle Festy]

Yeah, but it was closer then it would have been if I hadn't died; I friggin scried GAThraawn on the night I died!
…*and now I'm going to stop bringing up bad memories and shut down.

[Lamech]

Erm... wheres the game thread?

[RabbitHoleLost]

That's what I was wondering.
I think Raistlin meant to post it last night...but something happened. ::Shrugs::
He's also been dragged off by parentals, if his posts make any sense. We'll just have to wait patiently.

[Noir_Cat]

*points behind*

But the crowd is getting restless. Soon, we shall have a mob on our hands. They want Battle Royale Rockstar 3. Quick! Someone entertain them!

[Raistlin1040]

It's been posted. It's being waited to be approved by a Mod. I'm not sure what's taking so long.

[Darkcomet]

Raist, can I be on autolynch replacement?

[happyturtle]

http://www.dollyon-line.com/archives/albums/bestof/cover.jpg

Dolly is ready!

[Raistlin1040]

@DC: I actually don't do autolynches, as it's too much of a hassle. If someone drops out however, you can take their place.

@Happy: O.O Oh dear.

[happyturtle]

You think maybe your game thread got eaten by the recent lag storms? :smallconfused:

[Darkcomet]

That sounds plausible *nodnod*

If I do get in this one, I just hope the Kill DC spree is over by the time I do...

[Raistlin1040]

No, I got a "Thank You, your topic has been posted, and will appear as soon as a mod approves it" or something like that message. I sent a PM to Alarra.

[Murska]

I predict with my psychic powers that the thread shall be up momentarily!

[Raistlin1040]

I agree. Since Alarra reply-PM'd me about it >.>
