Nope. I just chose to break up all the civvies that way since half of them are MFP. No special wincons exist other than those stated in the roles. This is based on a game I ran maybe six years ago. A few roles were added but most of the moving parts remain the same. This will be much simpler than Red vs. Blue was.JaggedJimmyJay wrote:Question for G-Man. Only answer if you don't think it'll compromise your game:
Are the Main Force Patrol and Civilians completely separate factions with separate win conditions who are competing with each other?

Re: MAD MAX [sign-ups]
So, with Mac and 3J, we only need 5 more.
This is usually where the "witty" reference to the game's source material goes, but I have yet to see a single Mad Max film.
Er, get people to sign up! Or Max will somehow get madder!
That's...that's all I got. Something something, Charlize Theron's character in Arrested Development, something something that scene from the Season 3 finale of Bojack Horseman.

And to make it clear, this game is based on just the first Mad Max movie. The sequels will be covered in future games.

Re: MAD MAX [sign-ups]
THE BEGINNING OF THE END (PART 1)
Officer Gerald Mansfield walked up to the station with nervous pride. He was three weeks into his first assignment but he still couldn’t shake the butterflies. Working with both the police force and the elite Main Force Patrol still gave him goosebumps. All he ever wanted to be was an officer, even after the shit started hitting the fan.Sun City wasn’t the big time but it sure had its share of crazy. With each passing day, Highway 9 was becoming less of a backbone through the Outback and more of a gauntlet of bandits and freaks. With petrol becoming even scarcer thanks to the wars and embargos, society was cracking at the seams. Every day there were reports of unrest in the major cities. Riots in Sidney. Looting and arson in Perth. That was just social panic.
While the military was busy keeping the peace in major metros, smaller cities and towns and anyone on the edge of the Outback were left to fend for themselves. If not for the MFP, there would be no law and order out here. Sectors 12 through 20 weren’t bad by any stretch but Sun City was also large enough to be too big for the roving gangs to take a swing at.
That’s how it was until this morning, at least.
“You’ll never keep me behind these bars, bronze!” shouted the wild-eyed man in holding cell number three. He pressed his face hard against the bars, not quite forcing his head through. “Nobody can contain the Nightrider! Just you wait and see.” Behind him in the cell, a fiery-haired woman giggled as she rocked back and forth.
“Afternoon, Wally. What’s the story on these two?” Gerald asked.
“G-Man!” said another officer. He hopped up from his desk across from the holding cells and clapped Gerald on the back. “Punctual as ever. Good on ya.”
Gerald grinned at the sound of his nickname. Everyone at their precinct went by a nickname. He had suggested Gerry, which was a nickname he had as a boy. The chief wouldn’t have it though, as Gerry was his father-in-law’s name and he didn’t want to think about that damn senile fool any more than he already had to. So they took his first initial and the first few letters of his last name and made him a nickname, like it or not. Lucky for Gerald, he liked it.
“Fresh meat,” hissed the man in cell three.
“I’d like to taste him,” his woman giggled.
“Never mind the skags behind Door Number Three,” Wally said. “Just a couple of mental cases the MFP boys picked up in Sector 15.”
“Fifteen?” Gerald snapped. “I know they’ve been leaning on the boundaries but Sector 15 is pretty deep.”
“Well, they ambushed ‘em in Sector 12,” Wally said, gesturing with his hands, “and chased them deeper into our territory before reinforcements cut them off and surrounded them in 15.”
“Shame they couldn’t waste ‘em right there on the highway,” Gerald spat.
“Agreed,” Wally sighed. “But you know the drill- gotta keep the paperwork clean, even for skags like them.”
“Are the MFP boys still here?”
“No,” said Wally. “They called it an early day and went down to the bar to celebrate their catch. They popped a hole in their radiator. Grease monkeys just finished patching her up twenty minutes ago.”
“Well there’s plenty of scrap parts for the Interceptors.”
“No,” Wally cut him off. “They were running a V8. Pursuit Special.”
Gerald’s eyes grew wide. “No kidding!” He ran to the window to see for himself. Lo and behold, a black car sat outside the garage bay, looking every bit as fierce and fast as Gerald imagined.
“I’m tempted to give her a spin,” Wally said, dangling the keys in his hands. “Chief would murder me for it though.”
“So it’s just you, me, and the skags then,” Gerald lamented.
“Correction,” Wally said with a grin. “It’s quitting time for me, so it’s just you and the skags. Have a lovely afternoon, G-Man.” He walked out the door, his boots clacking all the way down the steps.
“Lovely indeed,” Gerald muttered. He sat down in his chair and leaned back. With his feet propped up on top of the desk, he stared down the prisoners. As time dragged on, Gerald was looking through them more than at them. After an hour, his eyes grew heavy and he drifted off to sleep.

Re: MAD MAX [sign-ups]
If we can get two more people to sign up, I'd be willing to drop Johnny the Boy (even though he plays a substantial role in the film) and get this thing started. October is a busy month for me but I ran this game once before and won't be as long-winded on phase posts.

As I just noted in signing up for zebra's Jessica Jones game, I'm going to be pretty busy for the next month or so, but what the heck, I'm ready to re-enter the mafia arena.
And I didn't get to properly play G-Man's Red vs Blue, so this will be my first G-Man game since Secret Mafia 2, which is still one of my all-time favorite games I've ever played, so it has been a long time coming.
