BANG! (Recruiting 9.5/11)

[Saposhiente]

BANG!
An experimental WW-ish game by Sapo.
Not to be confused with the card game BANG!, which also features WW elements. Yes, this is unfortunate.

A gang of lawless have been rustlin...
It's high noon, and high time they trouble us no more.

Spoiler: Rules

Show

There are 8 Pardners and 3 Lawless. At the beginning of the game, the Lawless meet and decide on the starting turn order.
At the start of each Round, nobody is pointing at anybody.
-Whoever's turn it is must point their gun at somebody (see Procedures for your post format).
-The next player in the turn order must then point at somebody, and then the next, and so on, until,
-When there is a loop of players, such that A points at B, who points at ...(etc)... E, who points at A (Or even just, A points at B who points back at A), BANG!
--Every player involved in the loop dies; their roles are revealed. A new Round starts; whoever was next in turn order is now first in turn order, and play continues.
Each faction must eliminate the other faction to win. If everybody dies, Lawless win.

PMs: Allowed; please CC the narrator.
Sharing Narrator PMs: Not allowed.
Submitting actions in advance: Allowed (within reason).
Helgraf's Scry Interference: Allowed.

Spoiler: Example game

Show

The turn order is player A, then B, C, D, E, and finally player F.
Each player, in order, decides who to point their gun at.
A points at C.
B points at A.
C points at E.
D points at F.
E points at A. BANG!
A, C, and E were in a circle, all pointing at each other, so they all fired, and all died. They were all Pardners.
B and D put their guns down.
F points at D.
B points at F.
D points at F. BANG!
D and F were in a circle, so they shoot. B is the only survivor. F was the only Lawless, so the Pardners win!

Spoiler: Deadlines

Show

When it is your turn, you have a deadline of 24 hours from the start of your turn to point your gun. Each player may extend this deadline by 24 hours twice per game (see Procedures for how). If you do not post in 24 hours, you will automatically use one of your deadline extensions. However, the deadline is not extended a second time unless you explicitly post to extend the deadline.
If you do not respond for 48 hours after it is your turn, or if you miss your twice-extended deadline after posting to request two extensions, or if you miss your 24 hour deadline and have no extensions remaining, I will attempt to replace (autolynch) you; if no replacement is available, you automatically point at yourself, thus forming a loop, dying, and starting a new Round. Players who are autolynched automatically lose.

Spoiler: Procedures

Enclosed are required post formats for day actions. Do not imitate these formats if you are not performing said actions. You may include regular text before or after officially-formatted text of posts.

When you point your gun at someone:
A. If you do not make a BANG!, you must:

Spoiler: Deadline Extension Format

Show

Deadline extended by (24/48) hours.

Activity requirements: When it becomes your turn, you must post within 24 hours. If you will not be available on weekends, please say so; I may add a rule that game time passes more slowly or not at all on weekends if that would be best.

Game starts as soon as there are 11 players. Expected game length is probably about 2 weeks if people don't take forever to act, but about a month if they do or if they are always cowardly.

[Generic-Guy]

First I mean in. I spend to much time on youtube.

If you will not be available on weekends, please say so; I may add a rule that game time passes more slowly or not at all on weekends if that would be best.

Well, i got usually no time betwen friday and sunday-evening.

[flat_footed]

I point at Generic-Guy.

In.

[Logic]

Put me in as a backup. I will play if called upon, but don't reserve my seat if you get to 11 by the time you are ready to go.

[Duck999]

I'll play.

[BasketOfPuppies]

I'll join.

[Gray Mage]

You can put me as backup together with Logic (that'll probably mess with the count the way things are, though, so sorry ).

[Logic]

I just died in my CFC game, so change me to full participation.

[AvatarVecna]

In, I suppose? Looks fun.

[Duneyrr]

This looks amazing. I want in!

How do we know who's turn is after ours? Is the entire turn order published before each round?

[Saposhiente]

How do we know who's turn is after ours? Is the entire turn order published before each round?

Lawless determine the starting turn order; after each BANG!, the order continues where it left off, wrapping around back to the start (and skipping dead players) when everybody has taken a turn. The Narrator will remind players of the turn order after each BANG!

[heretic]

I'm in.




Extra characters...

[Eternis]

In! I am down like a CLOWN!

[Iceseer]

i'm interested in joining.

[RoTWS]

I could join.

[Lex-Kat]

In, to get this game going.

[Saposhiente]

Game is ready to start!
Due to the long period of time spent in recruitment,
All players must confirm their participation to play.
You should have received a Role PM. You must reply to this PM, or in the thread, to confirm your participation; otherwise I will assume that you are not checking the forum.

Spoiler: Pardner Role PM format:

Show

Subject: BANG! Your role pm!
Please reply to this message, or post in the thread, to confirm your participation. Otherwise, your slot will be given to another player.

You are a Pardner! Work together with your fellow law-abiding citizens to eliminate the Lawless! Remember, at least one of you must survive.

During this time, the Lawless will decide the turn order.

[Eternis]

Howdy, Pardners :D
Let's do our best to avoid useless suicides :D

[AvatarVecna]

Ready 'n' rarin'!

[Duck999]

Vroom vroom!

[heretic]

Ready t'go!

[BasketOfPuppies]

Can't wait!

[Logic]

'Ello, all!

[Lex-Kat]

Hi._4567890

[Silent_Interim]

Still need more people? If so, I'll join. Otherwise, I'll just watch.

[Saposhiente]

Looks like this thread is old enough I need to ask a moderator to edit the title and indicate we're full. I'll put you down as a potential autolynch replacement.

Standoff 1

First, there was Marianne. Marianne wasn't the brightest bulb in the field, always wandering off, and Marley supposed that she had simply wandered herself into a bad spot.

Then came Ned and Sheila. These two were inseparable, so it made sense that they were going off together. But this was a hard blow for Dallas and Dusty.

More disappearances. Some split watch with their partner, watching at all times. Others rode out where they wouldn't be easily found.

This morning Sheriff and Lady, his prized cow, were found dead at their home.

11 gathered in the center of town. There was going to be no more waiting. Today, they thought, these rustlers would die.

Saposhiente was shot. They were the Sheriff.

Turn order:

1. Logic
2. Duck999
3. Lex-Kat
4. Eternis
5. Iceseer Silent_Interim
6. Duneyrr
7. RoTWS
8. AvatarVecna
9. flat_footed
10. BasketOfPuppies
11. heretic

It is now Logic's turn. The deadline is in 24 hours.
Duck999 comes afterwards.

[Saposhiente]

Logic points at Duck999
It is now Duck999's turn. The deadline is in 24 hours.
Lex-Kat comes afterwards.

Remember folks, just like WW, your point goes in the thread. Since you can't pretend to take an action you're not performing, I've forwarded it here for Logic.
(Also, it's day 1! Discuss your points, and where you think other people should point!)

[Logic]

"My bad, y'all."

I'll explain my point at Duck when we have a few more points.

[Duck999]

I point at heretic
It is now Lex-Kat's turn. The deadline is in 24 hours.
Eternis comes afterwards.
