ATPG-hosted small game signup sheet

[Askthepizzaguy]

After Ares and Andres, (current games) Caius and I are scheduled to start ours. As such, I am opening the signup sheet, unless it's a little bit too early, in which case the moderator can temporarily lock the thread. Your choices are:

Innocent churchgoers on a retreat in the Calzone Mountains are confronted by the Chainsaw Gang.
15 players.

Opening scene: The community leaders of Cheesetown have arranged for a religious retreat in the Calzone mountains, where the Greenpepper National Park is located. Here, there are a few small cabins scattered near a stream, and several campsites and trails that lead all over the mountain range.

Upon reaching this camp, the bus started having engine trouble and died. If it were just the engine, they would have had no problem, but the emergency radio went dead after the very first night. Someone in this mountain range has some reason for wanting to keep the churchgoers in the woods, and it is up to you and the rest of the Cheesetown residents to capture the criminal among you and survive the horrors that were about to unfold.

Psycho Mafia (HIGHLY recommended)The Crusty Asylum for the Criminally Interesting has a security breach: All the patients are roaming freely, and a psychotic killer is on the loose. Sanity must be restored before the entire asylum becomes a morgue. What happens when the patients are in control of the nuthouse?

Detective
Kidnapper
Serial Killer
Lone Gunman
Paranoid Schitzophrenic
Pathological Liar
Cannibal
Arsonist
Cultist #1
Cultist #2
Deranged Maniac
Mute


I can't reveal more about this game, but it's lots of roleplaying fun. It should be pretty wild.

Resident Evil Mafia: Part 2 (Thanks for hosting Resident Evil mafia, YLC, and permission to host numero dos)
After the events in Raccoon city, the survivors flee towards a nearby logging village, and are confronted with a new resident evil.

Special Roles:
Police Investigator
Zombie Horde
Umbrella Agent
FBI Agent
Others...

Night Zero-
The game begins with an umbrella agent shooting an FBI agent who has been tracking him since the incident at Raccoon city.

Umbrella Agent:
"It didn't have to come to this... you could have just let me escape. Was it worth it?"

The FBI agent could barely speak, as his lungs filled with blood. The commotion attracted the attention of some black birds high above them in the trees, and the shotgun blast had spooked a good number of them into flying away. A few birds who were trapped in the blast radius fell dead to the cold frozen ground.

"Hmph. Try and enjoy the precious remaining time you have left on this earth." The agent said while collecting the FBI agent's weapons. "Remember, it's nothing personal, it's just business." The man lay on the ground, turning white and shaking, as the Umbrella agent walked away. "If you see Larry, tell him I said hello."

The FBI agent's vision began to fade. He turned his head, and looked around, vainly searching for help. All he could see around him was the trees, a few dead birds, and a cold fog.


Begin Day One.






Actions:

Search Party
Man the guard post
Attempt to Escape

Form a search party: Search the woods for clues, supplies, and items. If players do this, they will be vulnerable to the zombie horde. If they remain inside the village, they will be vulnerable to a very different threat. Searching adds to a player's Foraging skill and may give them items. Some players can defend one another while foraging.

Man the guard post: The villagers take turns keeping watch at night, and if they spot trouble, then the entire village retreats inside the Barricade Cabin and they combine their defensive ratings to survive a zombie attack. Night Watch are vulnerable to internal threats, and cannot gain valuable items. Manning the guard post adds to a player's Barricade skill.

Attempt to Escape: The villager decides to make a break for it, and get out of the village while they are still alive. All living players can attempt this, but it is very, very risky. Escape attempts have a very low chance of success, but may be the only option when if Plague Demon arrives. Repeated failed escape attempts increase a player's Escape ability.

Attack Rating: For those people who wish to murder, this is thier skill in doing so.
Defense Rating: All players have a Defense Rating which does not change except with better weapons.


So, sign up here if your interested in being in this game, and indicate which game you'd like it to be.

example:

IN! And I'm good for any of the above.

IN! And I'd like to play Valentine's Day Massacre. Me likey the chainsaws...

IN! No preference, but Psycho sounds lovely...

And so on. Game shouldn't be starting for a couple weeks or so, given there are at least 2 games active right now which need to end before I can host. However, we should have everyone signed up and a decision as to which game it shall be, by then. Agreed?

woad&fangs- Reserve player
TheFlax (graciously stepped back to reserve player)
YLC - reserve player (If he comes back)

I no longer need backup players, and I need someone to volunteer to sit this one out and go join one of the other fine games.

[TheFlax]

IN! And I'd like to play Resident Evil Mafia 2.

[boudica]

I'm going to try to keep my play to just 1 or 2 games at a time at the most. So I guess we double-check whats going on when one of these start up. However, I would LOVE to play Psycho or Valentines Day Massacre.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Thanks! That's one firm player, maybe another one if boudica has time when the game starts. Well on our way.

[Omanes Alexandrapolites]

In - I don't really mind, but Phyco sounds best IMO.

[Kralizec]

In. I'd prefer Psycho mafia.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Sweet. I was hoping you'd join up, my friend, but you were on the Do Not Invite list. :bow:

Trying to earn that third medal, eh? And remember players, for sportsmanship reasons, it's not ok to vote someone just because they've won previous games.


The story for Valentine's Day massacre will mess with your mind, guys.

[shlin28]

Inz to all of themz! (again :beam:)

I like Psycho the best currently :bow:

[White_eyes:D]

Inz to all of themz! (again :beam:)

I like Psycho the best currently :bow:

I will go with Shlin28......:bow: IN to all of them....(Whenever you host......bad stuff always happens..:sweatdrop:)

Edit: good "Bad" stuff of course.....:evilgrin:

[Greyblades]

In for psycho.

[ULC]

In to all of them and I demand they all be hosted consecutively! Clear the bloody small game list people!

:smash::smash:

[Chaotix]

In for Resident Evil 2, if possible.

Umbrella will rule all! Hopefully I won't taunt the zombie horde on purpose this time... :laugh4:

[Captain Blackadder]

I'm in I would prefer psycho or v day.

[Lord Winter]

In for physco

[naut]

I'm in, and happy with any of the options.

[Beefy187]

Psycho and Valentine please. Only invite me to resident evil if you don't have enough player :sweatdrop:

[taka]

in for any

[Quintus.JC]

I will sign up when it comes ~:)

[Askthepizzaguy]

Psycho was originally designed for 12 players, and it seems to be the clear choice.

Would you guys like me to re-write the game to include the other players? It won't make the game any harder, and I can always change or not change who the baddies are/aren't.

You won't be able to guess, in short. Just because the new roles weren't originally mafia, in a game like this, it's really easy to change who the murderer is.

[Yoyoma1910]

Psycho or St. Valentine's day, please and thank you. I'll probably only be able to do one or the other.

:robot:Will we be getting lasers in either of these?:robot:

I never got to use mine in The Golden Rule.

[Askthepizzaguy]

You're in, Yoyoma.

umm... lasers... hmmm... Nope, sorry. Horror, not Sci-fi, this time. :bow:



I guess I will be rewriting Psycho for 16 players. Possibly adding another baddie to mix things up. In fact, I am going to rewrite the existing characters slightly to throw you off.

[Thermal]

Hot doug, me been missin some fishin, in for any, v day a bit more maybe

[Askthepizzaguy]

Everyone appears to be IN, so when the game begins (could be a bit) just shout your confirmation in the thread. No thread yet, don't bother looking for it.

I'd like to request alternates in case anyone drops out or gets WOG'ed

Thank you. The game will be a rewritten version of Psycho, for 16 players, due to it's popularity. Resident Evil and Valentine's Day Massacre will probably be the next game that I host. I will keep your names on the invite list if you requested to join those games.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I'll need a replacement player to fill YLC's slot. He apparently cannot access the internets.

Still requesting one more player, then... and anyone who is interested in being a backup player.

[Paradox]

Sign me up for Psycho Mafia, Pizzaguy!

:bow:

[woad&fangs]

I'll sign up as a backup:bow:

[Askthepizzaguy]

Excellent, woad&fangs! THANK YOU! Okay.

In fact, Boudica wants in as a full player, I may have to ask Andres or Sigurd to please allow 17 actives this game.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Small Games (8-15 players at the outset of the game)


I am sorry, but I need a volunteer to drop out. Caius' game needs players, please join Caius' game.

I was given a pass THIS time by Andres to have 16 players, but that is technically one too many, and I will not be doing this again. If we make exceptions, that turns into "can I have an exception too?" and then there's no point in having the rule.

That's a fair ruling by Andres and I stand by it. :smash:

[Greyblades]

Could we have a vote on who drops out? Call it a pre-game lynch?

[Askthepizzaguy]

I'm afraid that could be seen as almost a sort of anti-popularity contest. I have a better idea;

Those who didn't really want to be in the Psycho game (signed up for Resident Evil instead, or Valentine's Day, but NOT Psycho, or otherwise cannot COMMIT to the game) should voluntarily drop out.

Players can be in, and be in for the entire game, and be in because they want to be in Psycho Mafia, or I'd request that they sit this one out so the more eager players can get in.

:sweatdrop: I didn't imagine a fight over slots. I hope I get this much enthusiasm when my larger games arrive.

[Greyblades]

Just a thought.

I think people like these games because its a role reversal; mafia(technically) trying to root out the one townie.

[Askthepizzaguy]

@Greyblades:

To put it another way, there is only one marginally sane player, and everyone else is insane. Now, evil/good, that's a different story. There is more than one evil character. I hope that whoever drops from this one signs up to the next one, or any of the fine mafias currently needing players.

To players:
Shuffle off to Murder Manor Mini hosted by me in case you really want to be in a game hosted by me now, and you're not a fan of Psycho.

[Greyblades]

Either way it sounds fun to me and thats all that matters ~:)

[Askthepizzaguy]

:grin:

I wish I were in this game. I hope I can get someone else to host the sequel so I can roleplay as a deranged lunatic, and do it on purpose this time.

:creep:

[boudica]

Don't worry about me on this one ATPG I'll just sign up for Reenks game for now

[Askthepizzaguy]

Don't worry about me on this one ATPG I'll just sign up for murder manor:2thumbsup:

You're an excellent player who wanted to be in this one. Chaotix and I think someone else only signed up for a different game altogether. I want to hear back from the people who may not have even wanted to be in this game before I will let you go.

:medievalcheers:

You're not escaping from my den of insanity THAT easily. :grin:

[GeneralHankerchief]

:grin:

I wish I were in this game. I hope I can get someone else to host the sequel so I can roleplay as a deranged lunatic, and do it on purpose this time.

:creep:

My upcoming small game is something like this, although nobody's insane, they're just all mafiosi. I hope that does in a pinch.

[Askthepizzaguy]

TheFlax as politely and graciously stepped down.

I regret that I had to ask people to volunteer. Flax will get preferential treatment in joining fullish games of mine from now on for his service here. He said he'd watch the game closely, too.


This game is now practically ready to start. As soon as a game ends, you will get your awesomeness role pms.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I am not sure but Quintus.JC may be dropping from the game due to busy in RL.


TheFlax or Woad&Fangs, you're up! Either one gets it. :smash:
