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 travelers 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 Travelers of the world and time. For you see the fail-safe was only a tempory fix to the space time continuum in order for the fix to be made permanent all records of Time Travel and by consequence Time Travelers needed to be eliminated. The jump into T.I.M.E had drained much of the power of the individual Time Travelers devices and anyway being in the very centre of T.I.M.E caused problems anyway. The Time Travelers 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 Travelers 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 travelers. 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 once in the game and change their action on that day. Thus being dead in this game is a purely temporary thing and you never know when you might come back.

Looking for around 40 people can do more can do less.

For now simply say what Time Travelers you would like to see in the game i already have a few in mind but it would be good to have a greater vairirty 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.

This sounds like it would never end...

I.e. I die on night 7 but come back on Night 2 and everythings fine again?

An ingenious idea if you can get it to work though.

**Captain Blackadder** · 03-27-2010, 03:15

Yeah I am trying to see if it would work with all actions being able to work once resserected.

I agree. Say late in the game the mafia finally learn who the cop is and they go back to night one and kill the cop. Does that mean all investigations the cop did become null and therefore mafia lynches based on that result never happened? I'm not sure how well this game would work, so therefore I must test it (early sign up).

I understood that players can go back only 1 day or night phase?

Yeah the cop one is the only one i am having trouble figuring out how it would work since if I give the result to him going back in time to kill him wont help the mafia.

No you can go all the way back to the start but you can only do it once after that no more time travel. At least for now that is what will happen I am still fluid as to the whole game mechanics.

Personally, I think you should try the mechanic out in a smaller game of twenty or less people; keeping track of forty people going back and forth is going to be a helluva lot of work.

Having said that, I'm interested in seeing how this plays out so I'd definitely sign up.

Indeed, 40 is overkill for something this complex but I love the idea.
