    btw can I keep my character from Whisper seeing that I'm the sole survivor of the game?
    You and Yvonne "Queenie" Lucia Clark where the sole survivors . And if your Quinn again, that would make you an AWFULLY big target

    Because he would depend on ingame chances to come back at all, he has to be alive to become the Da- :luagh4:, nice .

    Are you in or not WE? Oh, as an aside, vanilla roles in this game mean nothing - anyone can, and most likely will, gain an ability or full at one point or another, but at the expense of another player of course

    But lying has almost no effect in yours games.....I have been a crappy townie for most of your games.........it toke Godfather 3 to show everyone how good I can be as Mafia and Reenk was superman or master villein in most of your games..... Does Random.Org hate me or something?

    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??

    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

    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.

    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! )

    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!
