The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame [Concluded]

Might as well get this new forum rocking, get it? OK sorry.:sweatdrop:

Anyway my game, no 2 on the list has been ready to go for weeks. I have only hosted one mini game before, at TWC and it was pretty lame but I'm hoping this goes better. Intro:

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame

https://i405.photobucket.com/albums/...thom/index.jpg

In the haunted house at the top of the hill the dead musicians were getting ready to practice for the gig they were going to play as the world ended in 2012. The invitation had gone out to twelve legends, yet somehow fifteen had turned up. "The more the merrier" they all thought and proceeded to start jamming, immediately twelve stopped in horror at the appalling racket and the other three managed to stop just in time. Three of the band were still alive, and horror of horrors they were pop stars! There was even a definite Disney vibe in the room! They looked at each other and realised they were going to have to weed out the living if they wanted the world to end to a good soundtrack. The only way was to vote at the end of each day for somebody to be exorcised, if nothing happened they would know it was an imposter and he would be "punished". They all realised what would happen if they voted for a real ghost...

Looking for fifteen players. Feel free to sign up now, I will pm any early sign ups when the game is ready to start.

I am ready to rock :bow:

"I wanna rock and roll all niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiighhhhht..."

Ooooh, a definite Disney vibe! Does that mean that the mafia is none other than Miley Cyrus? I bet there's some .Orgahs who'd like to 'lynch' her... :o

You can count me in for this once you post it in the Gameroom proper!

:thrasher:

Is it actually going to include the... spirits of dead musical legends?

Imagine it; John Lennon, Michael Jackson, Jimi Hendrix, Elvis Pressley, Freddie Mercury... oh, and Miley Cyrus. xD

Well, I might have some of those... It's pretty biased toward my own musical tastes.

Oh, and btw, I have first dibs on Frank Zappa RIP

I WANT IN!

Sounds interesting, though I'm more a Willie and 'The Man in Black' type of guy.

What makes you think neither of those will be in? Like I say it's based on my musical taste, the townie roles will not necessarily all be "rock n roll".

edit: though I suppose only one of them is actually dead, can't see Willie Nelson joining the Disney mafia...

I want to be Bon Scott

I'll join then. I'd prefer to be someone from the Country music side, if possible.

Game open for official sign up and ready for launch.

In for now.

If you manage to reach 15 without me, however, then I will bow out and let the next person take my place. :bow:

Oh, and there had better be some awesome music in the write-ups!

In.

Confirming I'm in, come on peeps. :grin:

Me me me.

Like I said, dibs on Frank Zappa.

I'll join up as replacement :bow:

This is dire.

8 signups (9 at a push with Beefy) when some games are getting 40...

:laugh4:

Hmph! This is not good enough... time for a Secura recruitment signature!

It's not AMG-awesome, but hopefully the picture attracts people to clicky!

I'm back in john. My internet situation is much better than expected. :beam:

The fact that nobody wants to play in these games saddens me. :sad:

I wonder if it's due to them being small games, or due to them being hosted by "rookie" hosts like Cent and john.

In the first case, I feel that small games are just as fun as large games, but they just have a different feel. In the second case, that's really just unfair- how are the less-experienced hosts going to get more experience if nobody plays their games?? And hosting isn't even that difficult- in very few cases have I ever seen a bad host or an unbalanced game. What's making people who line up to join Mafia IX, Shadow Fort, and Star Wars suddenly chicken out when they see this one? I've even done a little advertising in those threads for Cent's game and got no results.

Sorry about that rant. It's just been a while since I played a good small game since they take so :daisy: long to get sign-ups for. I really like small games. I'm also better as a mafioso in smaller games than in large ones (go figure :laugh4:).

Anyway, I hope this fills up soon.

I agree Chaotix, players just effectively go 'they've hosted good games before, I'll stick with what I know' I agree small games are easily as good, its more intimate, easy to keep track off and less to suspect, yet that in itself often generates discussion.

Johnhughthom needs willing players, he has done AAR's, he is an accomplished writer, I already tell that this will be good if things go to plan....

[Secura Approves +10]

Everything you both said pretty much sums up how I feel too; just go around like a walking advertisement as I do or poke people you know into signing up. I've poked Beskie into signing up, hopefully more will follow suit.

I think that the forum's generally missing the likes of CDf and Centurion who would join a game like this without hesitation, it's simply that they're busy with endeavours outside of the Org for the time being. It's just getting towards that time of year when people are preoccupied with other things. All the new or returning blood I see generally seems to steer towards the larger games too, which is a shame and probably doesn't help.

johnhughthom's clearly put alot of thought and effort into this and you can be assured it's going to be fun, so sign up!

I was thinking about creating a thread called "Why you should play small games", but you beat me to it.

I had a feeling I wouldn't get the sign ups for this game, there have been an awful lot of new games recently and if I'm honest I probably wouldn't have time for this myself. Thanks for everyone who signed up and expressed interest, especially you Secura, your effort was much appreciated. I think it may be best to call a day on this.

Wah, that sucks... I hope you reconsider at some point, and hope the rest of the Gameroom wakes up and puts their name down when the time comes. :<

I think the new system doesn't have room for 4 small games at any rate, 2 the same as large would be preferable I think.

Its a shame, perhaps at the TWC instead when your ready to host john? I would try hard to recruit players, many players.

:tongue:

sorry John...I would have joined but i signed up for 3 other games and musicians are not really my thing. :bow:

I would be in, but I believe I saw the game set-up when you were balancing it.

I recommend sending invites to people who died in Shadow fort.

The game has changed hugely since the version you saw, mafia, townies and abilities have all changed since then. I don't think you would have any sort of advantage if you played.

That's no problem, I would be thinking the same thing in your shoes. Anyway I want to have somebody different as mafia in my game.:smartass2:

Hmm, with Psycho back in, ATPG and if I count Beefy that would be 11. I will hound Beskar over Steam and make him join which would be 12, so I guess I should give it a few days.

I already asked him, he was tentative to put it mildly; seems to be having the same feelings about mafia as I am at the moment. More people should hound him. :P

I'd be willing to play to boost your numbers. I have several other commitments though.

In.

Steam badgering FTW.

I've sent out some invite pms, I'll give it a few days and if nobody else joins I can cut the game to twelve. Although the hardest part of making the game so far has been which townies to use, I had a group of nearly thirty and they've been chopped and changed for the last few months. Deciding whether I should include Richey Edwards or not meant the game has constantly changed as I've had him in and then out, then back in again. I decided he shouldn't be in the game, I still live in hope.

hes giving you the stare

I'd love to join, but I really swamped with games at the moment. :embarassed:
But please be assured that I'm not purposely avoiding your game. I'm sure it will rock hard. :wink:

I want to lynch me some Disney trash!

Good man Double A, just 2 more...

I've also decided on a new day ability, as well as voting to lynch you can also vote for somebody to sing a song. This may expose mafia and clear townies, however the town will need to wait until the next day phase to lynch any mafia uncovered. Only one lynch or sing-song will be allowed each day phase.

I had originally intended to host a smaller scale version of this there, I had a completely different game in mind for this slot here, but it kept growing and I knew I'd never get 15 at TWC. I mean look at how slow sign ups are for DG's new game over there and his games are always good. hint, hint Orgahs.

edit: actually looks like we'll get the sign ups for DG's game soon enough.

:laugh4: :laugh4:

Alternatively, we could kidnap this DG character

Ok I've decided thirteen is the perfect number for a game about dead people, role pms will be going out soon. Here is a sample, one of the two roles I cut from the game:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Ian Curtis:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ii8m1jgn_M

A shy man hampered by illness brought on by his epilepsy, Curtis' lyrics give us an insight into a man never
comfortable in the limelight. He took his own life in 1980 at the age of 23.
Normal townie you can help eliminate the Disney scum by voting and taking part in discussions.

VC: Eliminate the mafia, survive.

Game begins with a day phase, give me an hour to get pms out and we'll begin midnight BST.

I heard there was a secret chord,
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do ya?

Hmm, I don't remember putting Leonard Cohen in the game??? When did he die???


:clown:

Role pms sent, if anybody didn't receive one or the video didn't work let me know and I'll resend.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Day One.

The musicians gathered around to watch the warm up act before todays rehearsal, The Ramones were first up:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMD7Ezp3gWc&feature=related

They weren't all dead but at least the living members had the decency not to pretend to be ghosts. As everybody enjoyed the warm up they looked amongst each other nervously, wondering who the imposters were. They would have to decide whether to attempt an exorcism on one of their number or force somebody to perform to prove they were a genuine legend and not some talentless teenager.

Just a reminder. You can either Vote: johnhughthom or Sing-Song: johnhughthom.

Uh, we're really aren't trying right now, are we, uh, so let's just shoot and in the dark, whatever.

Edit: Actually, uh, as long as there are still plenty of live bodies, we can whack around with sing-song, huh.

Sing a song: AtPG

Oh forgot about that
unvote subotan
sing-song subotan

Random.org decrees number 13 to come to the stand.

Vote: Chaotix

Oh, I like the idea of that!

Sing-Song: Captain Blackadder.

I wanna hear your dulcet tones!

Is this some sort of handshake, or are you in la-la land?

Good idea on the voting, Unvote: Beskar; Sing-Song: ATPG

Sing Song: Captain Blackadder

Let it be.

Vote:ATPG

The minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing hallelujah.

Don't you want to hear Pizza sing rather than lynch him outright?

Lynch me outright, it sounds like fun.

Sing Song: Captain Blackadder

Why not? I like this idea. Come on sing us a song Captain, it's just a Day in the Life.

unvote: Psychonaut

Sing Song: Captain Blackadder

Is a forced move for me.

'Zat so?

unvote, sing song: ATPG

Who wants to live forever, anyway?

He private messaged me saying he is Hannah Montana, Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato, all in one.

Those are the same person anyway; Miley Cyrus is the songstress/actress, Hannah Montana is the titular character played by Miss Cyrus in the Disney television show.

I felt it best that I explain that so Orgah masculinity can be maintained... you're welcome, gents. :P

ROFL, you learn something new every day.

Lunchtime Day One

As Elvis walked up to perform the lunchtime act he cast a sidelong glance at Secura who had failed to spell his name correctly. Elvis was angry, first he was omitted from the main act, now his name was being spelt wrong.... The King knew Secura had been playing a lot of Football Manager recently, perhaps she had Steven Pressley, who had been a good signing for managers looking an inexpensive central defender a few years ago, on her mind. He decided he wouldn't hold the slip of the keyboard against her.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z54-QHEZN6E

Tally:

Lynch:
Atpg: 2 (Beefy/Subo)
Renata: 1 (TM)

Sing-Song:
Atpg: 3 (AVSM/Methos/Renata)
Subo: 1 (Capt B)
Capt B: 3 (Secura/Psycho/Atpg)

Beefy failed to unvote Atpg before selecting Capt B for the Sing-Song.

John, who is doing the Sing-Song?

Very funny! I've actually stopped playing FM for a while, got boring without Beskie and I moved onto getting the rest of the achievements for Dragon Age; just three left from Awakening to get the set. xD

Well there was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me do you?

I get the feeling it was Blackadder in the end.

Groovy

Blah, sorry about missing that vote- My internet was out yesterday, just got it back today.

Were I here to vote, however, I would've made ATPG sing, too- I'm glad it worked out that way, because it gives us the perfect reason to not have to lynch him.

sing song: CB

I already know what song he'd do...
