Default ItP Chapter II- Battle for Haruki-Kun

ITP- Battle for Haruki-Kun
CHAPTER II

Narrators: Lex-kat, Supagoof, & Bladescape.
Roles written by: Supagoof

In a long turbulent war between Real Life and the Playground, Structured games has become the battleground of choice. While RL has often deployed unusual and strange tactics to remove playgrounders from here, champions of the playground have risen to new heights and fought RL off time and time again. The stories of such battles become legend. Epic words written on endless pages of time answer questions of the ages.

The only question that remains - are you ready to join them?

This time - the journalists and publishers have found a new target. Popular web-comic artist and all around angelic being Haruki-Kun has found that his comic "Angelic Slayer" was considered by the Smithsonian a true adaptation of the Copy/Paste art revolution. Seeking to bring our beloved comic creator out of his fantasy filled inspiration into RL, they have once again sent their agents....

Yay - first post. Really - this is just a spot for me to make notes about how Lexie needs to update the first post. Really - this is just a nag the other narrator post to help us keep you guys up to date on how the game progresses.

Not that you need to be kept up to date - as you should subscribe to the thread, have the posts e-mailed to yourself, and of course, use a smart phone to get your e-mails as soon as they are sent no matter where you are. That's this kind of commitment we want. The kind of commitment we'll take however, is just general interest in playing a fun werewolf game - where the prize is winner's become he roles in the next version of the game! Yay.

Because they aren't that big of a team really. Just big enough that if they decide to allign with either Good (Playgrouners!) or Evil (Real Life) that it could sway the games results significantly.

Take the role of Ramsus for example - Does he side with team good and the masses in order to help them win, or perhaps he chats with team evil, offer's his bane to them, to help them win. As long as that role stays alive - it wins, so it doesn't care whether good or evil finishes, just so long as neither kills that role.

And the secret goals of Lord Fullbladder, MoG and of Tasroth - which team helps them with that goal better?

@Elder - ^ Um, didn't you hear? Yeah - me neither. Replace MOD with ANGELIC CARTOONIST and it works....

She fixed it before you saw it I believe. Or maybe I'm just a lying liar. I can't tell as I'm not wearing pants.

Now I can see a supervillian hiding his pants somewhere in a building, then lying. His grand scheme is to buy a pants factory and light the whole city on fire in one night of wild exaggeration.

Just coming in to point this out - With proper Town strategy, Supagoof will be dead before Night 2. How? D1, Lex-kat claims and no-votes, and everyone else points at theirself under threat of lynch. If Supagoof goes along with this, he dies, so he of course counter-claims Lex-kat. One of them is lynched, if they're Supagoof then hooray, if they're not then Supagoof dies the next day.
So you know.
@v: Right, that rule. Town could still do it, if more slowly, by having 5 tied-ish wagons per day and narrowing down Supagoof over time.
As to people like you, I said "with proper Town strategy". Your attitude is not optimal strategy. It shouldn't have to be had, and instead things like this should be fixed pregame, as I am allowing to happen by pointing it out. If/When I narrate more complicated games, a rule will be "Please break the game, but tell the narrator first". If it was a game winning strategy, they would be awarded the Cheese trophy and an honorary victory, and the rules would be amended. As to this specific case wolf multivoters suffer from this problem in general. The easy fix would be to allow Supagoof to null his own power, perhaps in advance, perhaps a limited number of times per game.

20% is required for a lynch, so I don't think that strategy works out all that well.

Not to mention most people, myself included, would not go along with it and would lynch people who tried to force something like that.

Wouldn't a simple fix for that to just be that Lex-kat/Supagoof's vote only counts as 1 vote against themselves?

Many narrators don't count votes against yourself anyways. Overcomplicating a game with additional rules such as limited number of nulls is a problem in and of itself.

And I'd still vote against you and such a ridiculous plan. I come here to have fun. Not go through the rules with a fine tooth comb to find flaws.

First, I changed plans from the vote for self idea to the five wagons strategy for days where Town has little better to do. As to finely combing, that's not what I'm doing; if it required a find comb I wouldn't have spotted it in a game I wasn't playing. It is simply a common problem with that kind of role.
@Ramsus: Not if town is doing the 5 wagons strategy.

Any idea when you're planning on starting the game?

I'd love to play but I'll be on my honeymoon until June 22 so if you're starting before then I'll have to pass (maybe next game).
