Rules

- This game is dividided in day phases and night phases. Day phases are when you post and make votes. The poll will lock exactly 48 hours after it is posted, and afterwards I will come here as early as possible to make the end of day post. Some abilities can be used in the day, but unless stated otherwise, all abilities are night-only.

- Night phases are when you are allowed to send actions, if you have any. Actions will be accepted 23 hours after the end of day write-up is posted. The final hour will be used by me to process actions, and to correct previous delays in day/night starts. Night posting will not be allowed, as the thread will be locked during the night.

- Voting is done through the poll. I do not require players to announce their votes in the thread or use fancy tags, though it is usually considered common etiquette to do so.

- Self-voting and changing votes is allowed. In case of ties, the lynch result will be resolved at random.

- You must post at least once per day phase. Failure to do so will be considered inactivity. If you are inactive for one day, you will be modblocked, which means your role will not be allowed to use any abilities during the night. If you are inactive in two different days, I may replace or modkill you. No replacements will happen after Night 4. if you are going to be unable to be online for a short period, please tell me in advance so I may give you some leeway.

- Double targetting is allowed.

- Role revealing and all forms of info dumping are banned.

- Do not engage in angle-shooting, which means using information from outside of the game to obtain advantage in it. That includes, but is not limited to, making bets or oaths in real life, asking people the color of their role card, or posting screenshots to prove anything. I will modkill players who break this rule.

- All players who die in the day or in the night will have their alignment and abilities revealed.

- The factions of this game are Mechanicsburg (Civilians), Wulfenbach Empire (Mafia), The Other (Cult), and the 3 Independents.

- Civilian, Mafia and Cult players will win with their teams, whether they are alive or dead.

- Talking with people about the game in any places other than this thread, or BTSC channels authorized by me, are not allowed.

- On game mechanics: super-kills are kills that bypass doctor protections and passive defenses, but they can be roleblocked. Other kills may be immune to roleblocks. Also for the purposes of this game, positive abilities are anything you'd want to be target with, such as a protection, and negative abilities is anything you wouldn't, such as a roleblock. Information-gathering abilities are neither Positive nor Negative.

- Dead players must post in red. Non-players must post in blue. Off-topic posts should be in green. I will use this color, please do not use it.

- Your Game Facilitator is JaggedJimmyJay. If you have any issues with other players or with me and you need to vent out, feel free to talk to him. For gameplay related questions, feel free to ask me and I'll help how I can.

Setup:

Game Mechanic: The Madness Place

In this world, there are individuals who are called “sparks”. They possess amazing intelligence and creativity, and can make the most incredible inventions. However, they have a tendency to go mad. Every spark role has a Madness Meter. Every time they use at least one ability or action during a cycle, the Madness Meter will go by 1 at the end of the night. If they don’t use any abilities, it will go down by 2.

Every day phase, the player will receive a number of votes equal to their current Madness level.

The following roles are sparks:

Agatha Heterodyne
Gilgamesh Wulfenbach
Tarvek Sturmvoraus
Baron Klaus Wulfenbach
Lucrezia Mongfish
Martellus Von Blitzengaard
Othar Trygvassen - Gentleman Adventurer


ROLES AND FACTIONS

Mechanicsburg and their Allies

Winning Condition: eliminate the Wulfenbach Empire, The Other, Martellus and Zola.

Sparks

Against all odds, some sparks have decided to work together. Whether that is good idea or not remains to be seen.



Agatha Heterodyne

The heir to the nefarious Heterodyne clan, the maddest geniuses of Europa, she just wants to be left alone to do some science in her castle. Unfortunately, everyone in the continent wants to either control, or eliminate her.

[Dingbots]: Agatha’s first invention, little robots that also have the spark. She can make one per night, and have them use their ability immediately or save it for later. Each robot will be able to use one ability before being destroyed. She must make all types of robots once before making them again. Agatha can use up to three robots per night.
Agatha may use up to three robots per night.

- Flying Robot: this robot will track a player and learn who they targeted in the night.
- Bomb Robot: this robot will explode on a player and roleblock them for a cycle.
- Fighter Robot: this robot will protect a player from one regular kill with its life.

[Heterodyning]: Agatha’s family has developed a special type of humming that helps them concentrate. After activating this ability in the night, she won’t receive any votes due to the Madness Meter in the next day. Two-shot.

The Wulfenbach Empire

Have BTSC. Kill every night. Win the game when they eliminate The Other, Martellus and Zola, and outnumber Mechanicsburg.



Baron Klaus Wulfenbach

The ruler of Europa, and a powerful spark who ensures the continent lives in peace and order. Or else.

He is convinced Agatha Heterodyne is The Other, and will do whatever it takes to contain that threat.

[Pax Transylvania]: The Baron has a good reputation as a keeper of peace. He appears as civilian on investigations.

[Construct Body]: The Baron has an abnormal body. He survives the first regular kill that hits him.

[Castle Wulfenbach]: A giant military blimp that is more like a city, and can attack a player in the day to make them lose all their vote power.

[Wasp Eater]: The Baron has commissioned the research of genetically modified weasels that can smell the scent of people infected by wasps. Once per night, he can have a wasp eater investigate a player and learn if they have been infected.

[RESERVED]

[RESERVED]

Mechanicsburg, a mostly peaceful town in the middle of Europa. During what is probably the 19th Century, but we are not sure because this is a steampunk story. Lady Heterodyne is in her castle, working on her latest giant robot, when a loud, cryptic voice talks to her.

- Mistress, we have a visitor.
- Is it anyone I know? - Agatha asks.
- Not really. Shall I throw them into the mutant shark pool?
- We have mutant sharks?
- Of course! Your ancestor, Dagon Heterodyne, made them. He used to love experimenting with all sorts of murderous creat-
- No, Castle, we are not throwing anyone to the mutant sharks. Let them in.
- Boring. But as you command, mistress.

The visitor comes in. It is a young man from the city, and Agatha had seen him before. The Castle probably knew him too, that sneaky bastard.

- Lady Heterodyne! The empire is attacking the city!
- What?
- The have surrounded us with their blimps! I've heard even Castle Wulfenbach is on its way here.

This was a problem. The city had a lot of defenses, but Baron Wulfenbach was a very dangerous enemy. Why was he choosing to attack now? Agatha dropped what she was doing and went to the city. She had to gather her minions.

why? a co-worker is also telling me to watch it lol
I currently read TPN from the beginning on, gotta catch up! Love it so I am full heart with TPN!

My prudent town, you inspire me to write.
How I love the way you read, vote and hide,
Living in my mind day and through the night,
Always dreaming about the good upside.

Let me compare you to a discreet crust?
You are more epic, imprudent and big.
Smart heat toasts the wise frolics of August,
And summertime has the sensible digue.

How do I love you? Let me count the ways.
I love your wise townies and civilians.
Thinking of your great civvies fills my days.
My love for you is the thoughtful killion.

Now I must away with a crafty heart,
Remember my right words whilst we start.
