Chess Mafia [sign-ups]

[JaggedJimmyJay]

Chess Mafia

A game for exactly 16 players
12 vs. 4

The actual game we know as Chess will be relevant to the Mafia game. The Mafia game will not be especially unorthodox though. Disregard the divisions above; they're no longer accurate.

Closed setup. Character claiming is illegal, but role claiming and info-dumping are not.

What's the difference between character claiming and role claiming?

What's the difference between character claiming and role claiming?

You can claim to be a queen, but you can't claim to be a cop.

It's a very strange world.

Other way around in this case, but yes.

[Epignosis]

Oh, I suck at the reading.

I'll /in

I loved to play chess growing up but stopped when there was no one left to play against. I've recently been getting back into it, so this feels timely.

[JaggedJimmyJay]

All players fill one of these special characters as well as the single pawn which starts the game in directly in front of his or her piece (see divisions in the photo of the chess board).

I'm making a little tweak, and this will no longer be the case. It'll still be similar though.

New arrangement:

I’m gonna sink all your battleships. King me! Yahtzee! Sorry! Bingo, 5 in a row! It was Mrs. White, in the billiard room, with the lead pipe! You landed on park place now I’m gonna wave my money in your face!

[JaggedJimmyJay]

Yes, Nanook, it IS water in the knee.

OPERATION.

Count me in, hope it's not starting this week because I can't play cuz RL is busy.

You’re probably safe!

Halfway there, gang

[JaggedJimmyJay]

Now that I have allowed myself to realign the pieces, I can probably make any number of players work. I'll set 11 as the minimum.

[JaggedJimmyJay]

If I get 11 I can start before the end of this weekend.

I just this very minute... won! My opponent fell apart at the end, trading their rook for my bishop, and then moving their queen into danger.

I prefer live chess. I like being able to read my opponent. Internet chess is very cold.

Cool. We'll have a game underway before the turn of midnight into Monday morning. I'll probably have to realign the board again, but no big deal.

Oi Oi you're not looking for 16 players? I kind of signed up thinking it'll take a little while before getting underway since Mac's game should be starting soon lol.

16 is ideal, 11 is the minimum. We've been in sign-ups for a while now, and we need a game.

Keep in mind that this one should move quickly, especially with 11 players, at 24/24 cycles. We'll be finished in no time.

[JaggedJimmyJay]

Back to ten. I might just go with that.

I will give it a bit more time though.

As long as we hold at 10, I'm still starting tonight. It may not be midnight now, but it'll be before I fall unconscious.

Everyone who clicked "maybe" is now officially a replacement.
