I will be active for this game most likely, but if the game start this weekend, don't WoG me if I am a tad inactive. After that I should be fine :2thumbsup:
I'm back from Melbourne and I'm In if you'll have me!!!
Alright people, the game will definitely start Friday the 8th of August 2008, in other words in about a week.
Andres has put up the final effort to recruit players.
Sign up deadline will be at 20:00 GMT on the 8th of August (you should all have the World Clock at the bottom of your browsers) and I will start the intricate process of assigning roles.
I will have all prepared until then so it will just be a few minutes of execution and then a few pm's to hand out.
The game will start with a night time that lasts 24 hours. This will be sufficient for the players to acquaint themselves with their roles and make plans and strategies with their role buddies if they have any.
27 players have signed up so far and I hope they are all ready to PLAY Midgard saga !!!!
I still want more players, and more the merrier. :smartass2:
Might be worthwhile asking Tosa to put up a forum wide announcement? ~:)
Has already been asked :bow:Quote:

Since the uninformed majority does not know who the informed minority is, the chance of lynching another of the uninformed majority is quite high. When the uninformed majority has managed to lynch all members of the informed minority the game ends in a town victory. If the informed minority manages to stay hidden and kill all members of the uninformed majority the game ends in a mafia victory.
In other version you add other groups of players to the game, maybe a detective that can investigate players during the night phase or a doctor that can protect players during the night phase.
This game is an advanced version of this game and have several groups and roles.
But it is based on the basic version with an informed minority trying to kill a uninformed majority.
Thanks Sigurd. With that description and the wiki link I can go back and read your rules again.Quote:

Have a good Sunday evening all.
Just try it AG, it's fun. :yes:
Ah good to see another Throne Room regular signing up for a mafia game :2thumbsup:
Since it's your first time, we'll lynch you gently... :evil:
I didn't get lynched on my first time :clown:
These things are very interesting games. I just got into them myself a few months ago, and they are certainly a nice break from the usual. It seems to me that the more 'advanced' and complex versions of the games are the most enjoyable, though that could just be my own personal preference. This looks like it will be one of those, so it would be a fun one to get started in. One thing to keep in mind is that once the game starts, you essentially can't trust a single thing that anyone else says unless you are told you can trust them by your 'role' PM. There is no IC/OOC distinction in these games, which can be confusing to some long-time PBM players. Once the game starts, it can pervade all levels of interaction with the other participants. Suspicion is the name of the game, and trust is very hard won.Quote:

OK Sigurd, I'll accept that invitation.
In ~:)
While we wait, why not take a quick read in the old game to get into the spirit of things.
The Midgard Saga
It would be great if you role played a little when this game starts, taking on the mantle of stereotype Norse, displaying little regard for feelings and holding one own's honor and your kin's honor in a blood feud type of way. :wiseguy:
But wouldn't that make us seem very defensive and therefore potentially very guilty?
even tho im still kinda sick Im in
Live on the edge man ... live on the edge. :beam:Quote:

It is a role playing game and hence it is not too serious. Make a character and stay in that character during the game. Then when the game is over, no hard feelings.
If you take this game too serious, you will soon make an enemy of all your friends.
Know that in the game it is OK to be a murdering liar or a backstabbing coward. :smartass2: And no-one should condemn you for it.
Somethin' amiss...
9's tend to do that...
Let's even things up a bit...
In.
There. Much better.
For now, at least...
Why did I reaceive that "wake up!" message? I've already signed up :wink:
Hehe ... sorry about that. Yes you are on my list already ... And will not be forgotten!! :yes:Quote:

Post their names here, I tend to keep their old names handy in my mind, and forget they have changed them.
Fenring is still Krailzec to me.
In!
That is one.Quote:

The game starts tomorrow at 2000 hours GMT
Yes his name has changed to Motep.Quote:
