That Creeping Darkness (Pre Sign-Ups)

[ULC]

My basic goal is to create a hard, thought provoking game that requires/opens the door to creative solutions for winning. You fit that bill, but Random simply doesn't want to give it to you. It's all random, but in That Creeping Darkness, starting roles don't mean much, it's what you become that matters.

I have to go now, appointments to keep - will be back tomorrow, promise. See if you can't find enough people to play here or there

And before it happens, Reenk, it is UP TO RANDOM.ORG whether or not you get Yeqon again

Yeesh, tempted to make this a psuedo mafia game/RPG...again, that can be put to a vote, if Andres will allow it.

Answer these questions.....
1) Why did it seem like Quintus's role was overpowered?
2) Why did most of my efforts go to waste, when I successfully lured Andres into my trap last game?
3) When I was a Mafia ghost....because I was a "townie" I had no way to power up and kill anyone....even though, without it I still had a bigger impact then most of the other roles.....
4) Reenk and Quintus in both your games got what I would call..."Win them all roles"...meaning no matter how things went....they still win.....
5) anyway to correct any of these problems??

[Quintus.JC]

Yes, indeed I had a very lovely role, I can't argue otherwise. But I don't think (I can't find YLC's original PM) that I actually started with any special ability, except knowing that Sigurd is my sister and she will protect me. Actually the longer I survived in the game the bigger my ability got. Reenk's role is neat too, but I personally would of prefered Glyphz's role though.

1) Quintus's role had similar function to Reenk's role really, except Reenk could eventually control more votes, I don't see how that's overpowered at all. Second, to control a vote implies mafia like behavior or status, thus it was designed to limit trust of Quintus's protown status, however, you never played that card.
2) You were simply lying in the wrong direction, or wrong way. See above.
3) You were meant to eventually control how the Ghosts voted, to the point that they were in essence a mafia entity, designed to find and destroy hidden protown defenses.
4) Quintus was a normal townie in Dark Vacuum, so no, and Reenk was lucky.
5) I don't really see problems other then that you didn't see how special your role was

in if you promise to keep it going, what happened on dark vaccum?

You told us all in a PM, QUINTUS was the only one we could trust and contact with anyone else would be breaking the rules.... (I played that card but nobody listened......)

Edit: "Lucky roles"......I feel they should get nerfed....or lose power, as time goes on....it is just not fair to others
Anyways, I feel very bad for normal townie's on your games.....they never can become powerful.....only the roles that are already powerful are....

[ULC]

White Eyes, I really can't help with your disappointment in not getting an ability, but townies can easily be as powerful - they have numbers and the ability to work together, and all power roles are the same during the day.

If you want a night action, here's one - you can send the GM threatening letters

[White_eyes:D]

Well....if you notice, I helped create discussion in your games...long after I was dead(even after the first one) Both games, I was lynched in the first round by Mafia's and Pro-town's.....
but I had no idea who to trust and simply was lynched(not your fault).....but one feels unrewarded when one puts up such a struggle, even after the townie did so much.....but had no ability's to back it up...just lies....I am good at that....but someone, sometime is gonna call my bluff and I well be

[Quintus.JC]

There has been quite a number of players that's made their name as superb mafias, but only very, very few people have made their fame as brilliant townies. Townies deserve more recongnition for pinnning the mafia than for a mafia to win a game. I never had the pleasure to know the man, but all the Gameroon vets seems to know Kommondus, who was in fact one of the greatest mafia hunter ever to grace the guild.

Townie deserve a lot of respect.

Well the queue is called "Mafia Hosting Queue".

If your game has plenty of roles, no informed minority vs. uninformed majority and no real day/night phases with voting and lynching, then it no longer qualifies as mafia...

Too often people think the Gameroom is only about mafia, but other games are welcome as well. In all honesty, I'm a bit surprised that during those 2,5 years the Gameroom exists, nobody hosted a real RPG, well, maybe with the exception of The Castle and The Castle II by Killfr3nzy and TwilightBlade.

[shlin28]

I would join the game normally, but I am in 3 games (+1 starting soon) already... so...er... maybe not.

Sorry

(Unless I get killed off in a game of course! )

[ULC]

This game is for next week or during this SUMMER.

If it is within one week, then it will be at the TWC.

Battle Royale by Roadkill that counts doesn't it?

Anyway, I'll be happy to join your game YLC. Although, my performance is often not too briliant in complex, RPGish games so be warned

In for Beefdom!

[Captain Blackadder]

I am in either way

To turn it into an RPG, I would need help to do so

If anyone wishes to sit this one out, or can't play but wants to still be involved, I would appreciate the help.

I still hope this game can be a true continuation of the previous game, lets leave RPG to other starting games. Sequels keep the scent of the original.

[ULC]

True - I just wish I could properly reward you guys, since designing this game I kinda fell in love with my character designs, and you all seem attached to one character or another.

[taka]

i'll deffo play if its hosted here

i dont really have any intention of signing up on to TWC atm (although i check it's mod threads and such)
