    Default Time Travelers Timewarp [Concluded]

    Time Travelers Timewarp





    As the clock struck 13 in the Temporal Institute of Menological Equilibrium or T.I.M.E the police in charge of the space time continuum were very concerned. For over the last few weeks many time travellers had gone back and forward in the time stream causing untold damage to the very nature of time. As the very core of the Temporal Institute of Menological Equilibrium, the Giant Hourglass of Time began to crumble the T.I.M.E decide on a drastic course of action. The head of T.I.M.E nodded to his underling to insert the fail-safe device for the restoration of time. The underling lent forward and entered the code Flux Capacitor with that a sudden burst of light entered the T.I.M.E buildings and all sorts of people began appearing one after another into the room, these were the Time Travellers of the world and time. For you see the fail-safe was only a temporary fix to the space time continuum in order for the fix to be made permanent all records of Time Travel and by consequence Time Travellers needed to be eliminated. The jump into T.I.M.E had drained much of the power of the individual Time Travellers devices and anyway being in the very centre of T.I.M.E caused problems anyway. The Time Travellers quickly realised they could only jump back to the time they had arrived at the Temporal Institute of Menological Equilibrium. The head of the Temporal Institute of Menological Equilibrium rose and began to speak.

    "Time Travelers you have all being found guilty of the destruction of the space time continuum the penalty for such an act is death. Give up now and it shall be a quick death if you struggle it shall be much more painful for you."

    The Time Travellers being all people of great scientific minds felt that they could figure out a way to get out of the time field most likely by killing the Time Police standing in their ways. The Time Police for their part relished the idea of using all their knowledge to out wit the arrogant time travellers. The game of Time was about to begin.



    Gameplay

    This is going to be a fairly standard kind of set up for a game with one major exception. Every single character will have the ability to go back to either a night or a day phase at any time in the game and change their action on that day or night. Thus being dead in this game is a purely temporary thing and you never know when you might come back.

    Looking for 17 people

    For now simply say what Time Travellers you would like to see in the game I already have a few in mind but it would be good to have a greater variety so if there are any you want in please name them.

    Rules

    When you die the game is not over for you. Since at any point you might come back in the game you must continue to send in votes and night actions the same as anyone else if you are resurrected these actions will go into force straight away.

    All the standard rules apply not screenshotting

    Vote No lynch is acceptable.

    Interesting concept, can't miss it.

    (But if I do, I can of course just go back in time to find it again.)

    It shouldn't be that confusing I hope if anything the confusion will happen on my end. Basically when a person going back in time changes an outcome you will simply appear or disappear in the next write up.

    Ah yes, Command and Conquer: Red Alert. Clearly Albert Einstein's greatest achievement. Shouldn't remember him for anything else!

    Being better than the worst does not inherently make you good. But being better than the rest lets you brag.

    Hmm. Color me curious.

    It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

    I have a question about mechanics - if you go back in time and cause a person's death, will that change only the person directly affected by your actions, or also people affected by their victim's actions and so on? For example, say Player A kills Player B early in the game, and later Player C changes their vote one day phase so that Player A was lynched before this happens. Would the result be that both Players A and B are dead, or that Player A is dead and Player B is now alive? If the latter, I imagine it could be confusing with long chains, but I might be over-thinking things (I wonder if it's possible to create a logical loop? *fetches pen and paper*)

    EDIT:

    Oh yes, he made some famous theory or something, with light and stuff. I know that because that's what he used to go back in time in the Red Alert games.

    It will affect the chains of people as well. There will be no alignment reveals obviously. I wanted this to be a game where a comeback is possible at any stage at the game even when you think it is all done and won you could still lose.

    Role PM completed sending out now.

    A few Notes

    To make things somewhat simpler for me my version of time travel will be that whilst you are in the past time keeps on moving in the present. Thus if you choose to go back in time during a night phase you can not do any other action that night.

    Time Paradox. If a time paradox occurs which I don't think it will both parties involved will be killed by T.I.M.E since their powers extend to ensuring no paradox's may occur.

    Finally the time machines will also prevent multiple time travel versions of yourself from being in the same spot. Like A Sound of Thunder. Thus you can only go to a given day or Night Once.

    If anyone has any questions about the Time Travel Mechanic ask away I will give as much away as I can.

    Gentlemen, I must express my sincere belief that our extinction at this stage would be in the best interest of All Things.

    For our actions have in fact arrived at the worst conclusions imaginable. We bear this responsibility, though not having foreseen the folly.
