From a PM conversation regarding a game:
I thought I'd give everyone a head's up!

Congratulations.

So what, exactly, are you selling?

[Shadow]

Congratulations.

So what, exactly, are you selling?

Our favorite beverages!
*makes a mental note to stock some port is JX ever comes across the pond*
Pix coming as soon as I think about taking some when I'm there. And I'm on my way there shortly, so maybe I'll remember.

Anyway, on topic...Atreyu has asked me to be the #2 for Convoy, and I've accepted.

Heh, Cristo is #2.

Who does #2 work for?!

Glad to hear the business is booming with success Shadow. Perhaps one of these weekends I can talk the Fairchilde's into road-tripping to Chi town with me and we'll visit.

[Cristo Meyers]

Heh, Cristo is #2.

Hey, guess what? Boom De Yada.

Glad to hear the business is booming with success Shadow. Perhaps one of these weekends I can talk the Fairchilde's into road-tripping to Chi town with me and we'll visit.

Well, it's either that or I come up there and drag you down...

[Supagoof]

Well, it's either that or I come up there and drag you down...

I'll be sure to have 6 hours of that song prepared to sing for you the entire trip.

[Mordokai]

That scares me...

[Reinholdt]

You're too easy to disturb Mordokai. It's like we don't even have to try. Just act like we normally do...

[Mordokai]

And how would that be, pray tell?

[Zar Peter]

Heh, Cristo is #2.

But... but... if they are right about Shadow... you will sit in an empty bar, trying to order Squid bone steaks and no bartender anywhere...

[Reinholdt]

And how would that be, pray tell?

Convoy: VII Interstating the Obvious is still accepting sign-ups until Wednesday evening. Come join the wackiest crew of truckers from this side of Chi-Town as they try to sniff out the bears that would break up their plans. In a completely related note, the psychotic trucker Rusty Nail has reportedly delivered a shipment in the surrounding area. I'm sure its a coincidence and not at all a horribly murderous subplot based on the movie, Joyride.

*sniff* *sniff*, do I smell a mini-Chi-town meetup cooking? Or is it just leftovers? I can probably make it to Chi-town.

You have no idea how much I'd like to do this...

[The Valiant Turtle]

You have no idea how much I'd like to do this...

Trust me, I know. I still haven't made any gaming connections or, well really even any friends up here in Indiana. Coming from the group in Johnson City to here has been very hard in that respect (good in other respects of course), but there is nothing in the world better than a meet-up as far as I'm concerned. Okay, maybe a meet-up with Rock Band beats a regular meet-up, but not by much!

[Shadow]

Oh, did I forget to mention the lounge/side-room has two 50 LCDs's and a 60 plasma?
The 60 has a Wii on it.
The 50s sport an X-Box 360 and a PS3 (or will once we get the PS here...)

Rock Band at the bar, anyone?

[PhantomFox]

As long as Smash or Mario Kart is on afterwards. :D

Oh God: Rock Band + alcohol = Cris getting drunk and making a very big fool out of himself on vocals...

[Haruki-kun]

That. Is. Awesome.

Also, I liked Mario Kart way more than Brawl. How's that for weird?

[Shadow]

@^: That's not weird. I agree with you.

As long as Smash or Mario Kart is on afterwards. :D

Multiple systems means simultaneous play, my foxy friend.

And if this ends up happening, there's a Harrah's Casino, sans hotel, two blocks away.

[Alarra]

I wanna come!

Although, really guys...this is kinda off-topic for the ww central thread. If you're going to actually plan a meetup make a thread.

[Griever]

And this meetup has to be during the summer, so I can drop by without having to worry about school.

[Skippy]

I'm so going there as soon as I save enough to buy me a ticket out of this country...

[Alarra]

Hey! I mean it....Make a meetup thread for this. *shoos all Chicago talk away from WW thread*

[Shadowcaller]

Fourth time I'm posting this game, well hopefully it gets better with every post.

Anyway, I have made the following changes:

• Added the bet system as well as a number of items.
  
• Removed the skull snatcher and replaced it with the Okiba-Gang Shinobi that is basically a thief role with the ninjutsu mechanic.

Kyou II: Tale of the Ninja

This is not a paranoia game.

Roles

There will be three different "teams" in this game, The Ninjas (werewolves), The Samurai (team villager) and the Hunters.
Both the Ninja and the Samurai's will have a leader (or leaders) that will select the members of his team before the game begins.

Ninja (Werewolf's)

If Ink-Eyes successfully recruits a player she can't use her ability during the next night phase. Players recruited by this ability do not gain any special abilities. Scries as Ink-Eyes (alpha).

Higure, The Still Wind: As one of the leaders of the ninja Higure will select all the players in the ninja team with the help of Ink-Eyes at the beginning of the game.
In addition Higure can every night select a player. If that player is lynched the following day Higure can "kidnap" one player from the game for two days (two day phases and two night phases).
During this time the player cannot be killed in any way but can't use any actions or vote.
Posting in the game thread or PM other players is strictly forbidden for a "kidnapped" player. If Higure would successfully kidnap a player he can't use this ability until the kidnapped player can post and use night actions again. Scries as Higure (alpha).

Kami

Spoiler

Show

As the last game there will be a lot of Kami that can possess villagers and grant them special powers.

This time the abilities might be a bit more powerful then the last game. Special achievements will in many cases reward a villager with a kami.

But beware, all the Kami are not on the villagers side and may cause harm instead.

Please note that villagers possessed by a kami will still scry as a villager unless they have been recruited by Ink-Eyes.

Items and Betting

Spoiler

Show

At night time a mysterious shop appears on a otherwise unoccpied street in Kyou. Within this shop are artefacts that otherwise would be impossible to get your hands on.

Within the shop is also its strange owner Ben-Ben, an Akki hermite that seems to possess mysterious powers (how else can he make ninja pay for these items?)

Every player will start with 100 Fuhonsen and it can't be transferred to other players. Items on the other hand can be transferred every night.

A player can have any number of items in their possession but remeber that items can only be used during the night when the kami's presence are strongest.

Items

{table]Item|Description|Cost|Stock
Jade Idol| Jade Idols are sacred guardians of the temple and wards away all evil that would be foolish enough to try entering it.

The Jade Idol will protect you from night kills for one night and then return to its temple.|200 Fuhonsen|**

Slumbering Tora|Tora’s are wild tiger spirits that sleeps in a statue-like state until they are awoken by their owners.

Wine of Blood and Iron|This red potion is filled with a strange liquid. Whatever it contains it certainly gives you a charmatic bonus and thus increases your point value by 1 and afterwards its gone. You can only use two of these items every night.|75 Fuhonsen|**[/table]

Betting System

Spoiler

Show

Ben-Ben enjoys games, especially games that ends up with someone dead. Every night all the player in the game may bet certain amounts of fuhonsen (the valute in this world) that a player will be lynched the following day.

When a player is lynched everyone that bet on it will recive 200 % of their bet back.

If more then one person placed a bet on that person the amount revived back will be reduced by 25 % for every winning player beyond the first one.

At top the amount of fuhonsen given back on a win can be reduced to 100 %. All bets on a not lynched player will of course be lost.

What Ben-Ben uses all this money for is anyones guess...

I would like to have some feedback on the items aswell as the game as whole.

[Emperor Demonking]

Looks good but you should think carefully aboyut whether you want kami and items in one game.

[Griever]

The beginning amount of money and each price for the items are all divisible by 25, it might be easier to divide them all out so you are dealing with large numbers.

[Shadowcaller]

The beginning amount of money and each price for the items are all divisible by 25, it might be easier to divide them all out so you are dealing with large numbers.

Hmmm... how do you mean?

[Griever]

Just divide all the numbers by 25.

Players start with 4 Money (Munny, if skippy is reading this)

Jade Idol costs 8,
Slumbering Tora costs 16,
Ebony Owl Netsuke costs 14, etc., etc.

No reason to have the numbers that large if there is a common factor.

[Reinholdt]

Yes, but numbers with a factor of 25 tend to be easier to work with than numbers with factors of 4.
