WW Central VII: Important WW information goes here - READ OPENING POSTS!

[Mordokai]

Science has proven that raccoons have small brains and have difficulty concentrating.
Oh and that they are extraordinary good lovers. Yeah. Especially that.

And you wouldn't be biased at all, right?

[Deathslayer7]

And you wouldn't be biased at all, right?

absolutely not! We at R.A.K.K.O.O.N.S (Research for the Awareness of Kronichally Kute Outdoor Obsessed and Narrow-minded Species) have devoted ourselves to being as unbiased as possible. As part of this effort, we have made the Rakkoon as our mascot.

...you guys are in it for pr0n, aren't you?

[Internet Flea]

Are prawns covered by R.A.K.K.O.O.N.S.? I think Kronichal Kuteness might be lacking there.

no. bunnies and penguins among others are though.

[Wizibirb]

What about Zombies? They are cute and cuddly

[Lex-Kat]

No, I think you are thinking of Zebras, not Zombies. I know they both begin with Z, but they are not quite the same.

[billtodamax]

I think Zombies are cute and cuddly.

*huggles Sanity*

Can I keep him?

ED, your game looks as confusing and enjoyable as it always is. Count me in.

[GrlumpTheElder]

FAO All Mafia Games I am In/Running:

I will be without internet for a couple of days, just thought you should know

Thanks

Agreed, though I probably won't have time to play it.
My only suggestion is making it clear the Fool can scry the disguised roles.

Nom nom nom... mmmm mime... tastes amazing. Cuddles gory body

Sure you can keep me

Would someone with some Discworld-ian knowledge like to read my first draft game introduction and provide some critique?

If we only knew where it was... :P

[Rogue Nine]

If we only knew where it was... :P

Well I wanted to PM it, you know, keep it secret for the big reveal? But I figure many eyes are better than two, or in my case four (don't ask, it was a strange accident with a band saw and some radioactive salamander DNA).

Note: The events inscribed contain possible spoilers. The setting of this is sometime after Unseen Academicals.

Discworld the Third: A series of Unseen Events

Spoiler

Show

Discworld! A strange, improbably* flat planet that spins on the backs of four elephants, who themselves stand on the shell of the star turtle Great A'tuin.

Ankh-Morpork! The largest city on the Disc! The Big Wahoonie! Two cities separated by the Ankh, a river whose gas-fires are a particularly beautiful shade of blue-green, and home to a million inhabitants.

The Unseen University! The Center of Magical learning on the entire Disc**! A place where the greatest minds in the world come together. Usually to butt heads.

Today, an octarine explosion escapes the confines of the High Energy Magic Building, and rapidly expands to cover the entire city before disappearing into the Sto Plains.

“BURSAR!” Archchancellor Ridcully slams open the door to his quarters and stalks down the hall towards his office.

“BURSAR!” The door to the office is locked, but soon shatters into flaming splinters as Ridcully applies a fireball to the lock.

The Bursar's office is covered in dust, and Ridcully remembers that Dr. Dinwiddie had taken a leave of absence, and someone else had taken over. He leaves the office and heads towards the source of the damage, the HEM building.

“STIBBONS!” He kicks the door down and almost slips in surprise. “What-”

“Err, hello, sir. I think I can explain.”

“You'd better get started.”

“Well, as you know, we have been using Hex to study new permutations of Magic. Trying to come up with new uses for old spells?”

Ridcully remains silence, a surprise for Stibbons as he usually asks questions. He must be really mad.

“Yes, um, so Hex has been basically casting the same spell over and over, faster than a human could, with slight differences each time- differences in the verbal, somatic, and even material components. But it looks like something happened that we weren't expecting.”

“You bet it did. What spell, Stibbons? Why do I look like-”

“Some bloke named Gary? Well, sir, it was Stacklady's Morphic Resonator. Only it was way more potent than normal.”

“So your thinking machine did this... assumingly to everyone in the city by the thaumic field that woke me up. Can it fix us?”

“With time I'm sure Hex can come up with a counterspell. I think.”

“Do it. Quickly. The Patrician is already going to be upset by this. Wait, somatic? As in hands?”

TICK

On the Discworld, belief shapes ideas. And so Death (the personification, not the natural event) has forever been trying to become more human, TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THEM he says. So sometimes, he likes to take “little vacations”- which often end up going wrong. The dead, at least the more cunning ones, become aware of this, and several of the Disc's worst criminals use one of these vacations to escape Death's realm. They return to Ankh-Morpork to wreak havoc on those who caused their deaths- mainly Commander Vimes, but any members of the City Watch, or the population at large they could kill would just be an added bonus.

Sneaking into the city was easy, Vetinari's open gate policy meant that they weren't even searched. The six of them found a place to hide, still easy in a city whose population is bursting by applying some violence. After that, they spread out through the city, asking around and making their presence known. When the spell went off, they too were affected. But it works out great for them- not looking like a criminal was great, and looking the exact same as everyone else was even better.

And even though Death was out, that doesn't mean there are no supernatural forces at work:

“What is that, Mr. Tulip?”

“This? Dunno. That dwarf I scragged drew it before he died. I thought it looked –ing neat.”

“It looks like a eyeball with a tail. And it gives me the willies.”

“Listen, Teatime, I'll draw whatever the –ing I want, do you –ing understand?”

“That... was d'Eath, I believe. And if you are to address me, its pronounced Teh-ah-tim-eh.”

“Whatever,” Tulip finishes carving the symbol, kind of like an eyeball with a tail, onto the table, “it's still –ing art.” He dips his other hand into a small bag and comes up with a white powder.

Mr. Pin, or who they assume is Pin, sighs, without looking up. “Mr. Tulip, I believe that is just baking soda.”

* They say that whatever can happen- anywhere in the multiverse- does happen, somewhere. And that somewhere is usually the Discworld.

**There of course are two other centers for magical learning, Brazeneck College and Bugarup University, but the UU staff would argue the difference in preposition was quite important.

[Fortuna]

All makes fine Discworldly sense, which is to say no sense at all. I'll be playing.

[billtodamax]

:D

Looks awesome. I shall be playing.

[Irbis]

A strange, improbably* flat planet

Not that flat. More like funnel-shaped :P

backs of four elephants

Five ;P

“BURSAR!” The door to the office is locked, but soon shatters into flaming splinters as Ridcully applies a fireball to the lock.

Why he looks for him, again?

Also, I though Ridcully preferred explosive crossbow bolts.

Um... I believe these gentlemen were not killed by the Watch, I don't even remember them meeting Watch.

[Rogue Nine]

All true... well there WERE five.

Ridcully is always screaming for the Bursar, even if he knows the answer to the question he's going to ask. Plus, technically, by the events in UA, Ponder IS the Bursar.

Um... I believe these gentlemen were not killed by the Watch, I don't even remember them meeting Watch.

True. Neither was Gilt technically. Nor d'Eath, now that I think about it. Okay, that specific fact will have to be changed.

Maybe I should add Done It Duncan to the Wolves. His only power is that when asked if he is a bad guy he has to say yes.

[rakkoon]

absolutely not! We at R.A.K.K.O.O.N.S (Research for the Awareness of Kronichally Kute Outdoor Obsessed and Narrow-minded Species) have devoted ourselves to being as unbiased as possible. As part of this effort, we have made the Rakkoon as our mascot.

Okay and that's another reasons I can't stay away from this forum. Here, I'm not the silliest person around

[Irbis]

Do eet! >_<

And then give the role to Murska. He will still break the game somehow :P

[Saposhiente]

Are you a wolf?

No

<INSERT OVERLY COMPLICATED THEORY HERE>

Yes, that is a possibility. Urist McBaner then.

[Zar Peter]

Actually I think this would be a nice villager role

[101jir]

Then you would have to restrict every player to asking one other player. Even with that, come to think of it, every single player could be asked if they are the bad guy day 1, and it would be way too underpowered.

An interesting version would be if a good PR and a bad guy had a role like that and had to say yes to anything they were asked.

I'd say several good guys and one or two bad guys.

[101jir]

I'd say several good guys and one or two bad guys.

That would work. I'd like to see a bunch of people running around saying 'yes' to everything!

[Irbis]

I'd say several good guys and one or two bad guys.

Unless some of these were villagers that would have been terribly unbalanced towards wolves.

Heck, even then it would have been unbalanced.

[Internet Flea]

Not if everyone knows that some people have to say 'yes'. It's not like they autolynch when they do.

[Irbis]

Not if everyone knows that some people have to say 'yes'. It's not like they autolynch when they do.

Some people? Everyone knows these are good powerroles and one wolf so they will be reluctant to lynch them. Enter 1-3 more wolves who borrow their buddy's PM and also start saying 'yes' making it even harder for village.

And, of course, painting a big sign on good powerroles (who don't know each other) to wolves (who know which wolf has to say 'yes') is asking for slaughter.

Even if you throw villagers into it, all you've accomplished is more muddy water for wolves to hide in, and more knowledge to the only organized group in game.

[Hipen3]

When can I start Recruiting???? Now?!?

[Hipen3]

Oh and I need a Co narrator, Preferably Saposhiente.
