ALL PMs MUST GO TO BOTH Turnip Head and S~V~S
If you do not do so, and your night action does not go through, don't blame us

Please use the following format for Night Actions:

*Your Name/Your Role Name/Night (or day for day actions) #*

RULES

*No Illegal BTSC
*Deadies and non players off topic only in the appropriate colors, "dead red" & "NP Blue"
*Living Players posting off topic do so in "OT Green" only please
*If You have an issue with another player or the hosts or fate or something that happened in another thread DO NOT POST IT IN THE THREAD~ If you have to vent, contact Whichever of the two hosts you wish (we are self modding). Or just walk away. We all lose it sometimes, lets try not to do it in public
*Don't be a dick~ it's a game. Don't be drama, it's not Broadway.
*It is our policy to not allow prize discussion in our games. If you did (or did not) win a prize at any time in the game, please do not discuss this in the thread
*No reproducing or paraphrasing host PMs, or direct discussing of night results or of if you were targeted or with what.
*If you are told to vote for a specific person, or are given a task or a curse, IT IS UNDERSTOOD that you are not to make it obvious. Don't toe this line.
*No role outing of others
*No info dumping~ which means no night results, no info gleaned via BTS, etc.
*This game is closed set up. This allows for limited role claiming. But be careful about that, and do NOT involve other people in your claim.
*Please don't question the hosts re our application of these rules. Things happen that you do not know about.
*If you have read these rules, please include the word "scandalous" in your first post of the game.

We will be modkilling anyone for lack of posting. If you have not posted for two cycles, or missed any four consecutive polls (night polls are mandatory) without first informing the hosts (out of town, etc) you will be modkilled or replaced if a replacement is available.

MISSING VOTES:
If you miss two votes, day or night, no worries. It happens to everyone. If you miss three or more, day or night, you will be roleblocked one night each time it happens.

Please have fun, and if you are not having fun, let us know.

Furzt lolz

Scandalous. I got a vanilla role, saying my win condition is to achieve making a decent omelette for breakfast for once in my life.

Also, nooo, why does it have to be Hunger Games themed?

What poll?

DH breaking the rules already? how scandalous...

Also, can the title not be all caps, please? Like, my eye. (Oh, that reminds me.)

Hmm... Rico, you are right... The Doctor (who I most definitely am) needs to represent!

Watari-san

Ricochet wrote:Also, can the title not be all caps, please? Like, my eye. (Oh, that reminds me.)

A reasonable request

So we have 30 Mystiques. Sounds fun.

I wouldn't mind Duncan Idaho in this game. Preferably 12 of 'em.

Votes are changeable in this Night 0 poll.

Who da hell is Xander Crews?

Wilgy, Rico, do you want to form a voting bloc with me

Chure!

Tranq posted but didn't vote. Mac voted but did not post. Discuss.

It's kind of scandalous that none of those 5 roles are mine. Now I'm going to have to go research to see which ones I think are cool enough to be included.

It's kind of scandalous that all 5 of these roles are mine.

I'd say Watari and Duncan, off the top of my head.

So this poll is an I.W.I.N. button?

DH hasn't complained about Golden posting without voting. Confirmed baddies.

Golden is bae tho.

Baeddie, yes.

"Bae," Urban Dictionary says, is an acronym that stands for "before anyone else," or a shortened version of baby or babe, another word for sweetie, and, mostly unrelated, poop in Danish.

I don't know which of these I'd prefer you mean.

Reading is 4chumps

One more vote and our wonderful wall of wones is compleete!~

The Face of Bae?

I need to wrap my brain around this game. I don't think I've played a champions game before--although I did co-host one. Cupcakes FTW!! Just got back from vacation...way too tired to think through what roles are included and how that decision may have been made. Will ponder after sleep. To do so earlier would be scandalous.

S~V~S wrote:I am seeing a woeful lack of rules reading

That's quite scandalous.

These are the roles mentioned in the poll:

Ezekiel - Biblical Mafia - Civvie
Xander Crews - Frisky Dingo - Civvie
Finn McMissile - Disney Cars - Mafia
Watari - Death Note - Civvie
Duncan Idaho - Dune - Civvie

I'm not familiar with any of these roles. Where's the War Monger?

Um, have I? Entirely possible that I have and forgot.

Ezekiel is the only one up there from a game that I've played in. But I did horribly in that game. Sooooo.... Randomized Watari by pointing and clicking. Votes are changeable in this poll. Scandalous

It's scandalous the way these two games have to be starting on the same day

OK, here's what I got.

Xander and Watari both appear to rely on another role from their own game being in the game. In Xander's case, the role seems almost entirely pointless and unable to adapt to this game. Watari I could see being adapted, and its also kind of cool so I could see it being used.

Duncan Idaho is decent, but relatively normal. There are other more interesting roles from Dune I think would be more likely to be included. Finn McMissile also seems like a relatively normal role, although in a game that seems relatively traditional all up. So Finn is a decent option.

On the other hand, the role of Ezekiel seems seriously epic, but in a game where there are lots of unusual and interesting roles to choose from. But I think Ezekiel stands out to me the most, so thats the way I'm going.

Ah, the "role" (chara) / "role" (power) term differences (for me, it usually stands for character, fwiw). What makes you so sure, Golden, that the characters in this game will be imported with their original power?

Why didn't you include the role descriptions so we could debate how awesome/lame they are and if they are worthy of this game?

You seem to be relying on the assumption that the roles have been copy/pasted from their source material. Any one of these roles could have been reflavored to fit the GoC.

I'd need less G&T for that.
