The Syndicate

The laser gun fired.

It all happened in less than a second. A blast of white light pierced the heavens, escaping the atmosphere and entering deep space. As it pierced the air, the entire sky around it illuminated so hard that someone who looked at the laser directly might have damaged their eyes. The sound it made was just as strong, as if 1000 thunderbolts had hit the same spot at once.

It hit a flying object, causing it to almost completely disintegrate. Some of its particles fell into the atmosphere, becoming shooting stars.

A drone flew close to one of those shooting stars and managed to read the radiations coming out of its particles. The readings were clear. They did not come from any kind of material that existed on Earth.

Unfortunately, the aliens had seen it coming.

Having observed the human civilization for years before the invasion, they had a clear idea of the humans' potential for war. They knew Earth was on the verge of creating strong enough technology to be able to repel an alien invasion. That is why they were invading now, before they lost their window of opportunity.

And they brought counter-measures.

Suddenly, the flying saucers changed forms. Instead of their obvious alien appearances, they now looked like the carriers that humanity was using to rescue their own and take them to bunkers. Or they looked like the military fighters that were being deployed to keep the flying saucers busy while the laser cannon was being prepared to shoot.

Earthlings now had an additional challenge: to figure out which targets were enemies and which ones were aliens. A shot at the wrong target could be fatal to humanity's hopes of survival.

- Win the game is they either eliminate the Laser Gun Operator, or all Bunkers.

If the laser gun operator is eliminated, we move on to congratulating the winners of the game.

It was a normal day on planet Earth. People lived through their normal lives, with maybe a pandemic or two, but overall, nothing much civilization-threatening happened.

WHEN ALIENS ATTACKED.

They came in their flying saucers. Because fictional aliens need flying saucers, of course. At first, they started only abducting cows, so people tried to justify it wasn't a big deal. But then, they started abducting people, and eventually, they started firing their lasers on cities and actually killing people. Humanity realized they had to work together to survive.

Researchers of the entire world worked 24/7 to develop a weapon that could fend the aliens off. Meanwhile, the attacks continued, and humans started hiding in bunkers to protect themselves from the aliens' lasers. The bunkers couldn't hold that long, though, so the humans were growing desperate.

Eventually, the scientists finally arrived at a solution. A massive laser gun that was capable of obliterating flying saucers with one shot. Unfortunately, it would take time to mass-produce that weapon, and the bunkers wouldn't be able to hold for long. So a single prototype of the laser gun would have to do.

They then chose someone to operate it, one of Earth's finest soldiers. That woman would be responsible for saving humanity from colonization by aliens. Or die trying.

Rules

- This game is divided in day phases and night phases. Day phases are when the Laser Gun Operator makes his kill. They must send a kill to the host within 25 hours of the day start, or I will pick it at random. I will make sure to talk with the Laser Gun Operator beforehand to align the day end times to one they are confortable with.

- Night phases are when the Bunkers and Aliens send their actions. Actions will be accepted 23 hours after the end of day write-up is posted. Night posting is allowed.

- There will be a poll for voting on players, but it will have no effect on gameplay, and is used just to help organize the discussion. Voting on it is not mandatory.

- You must post at least once per day phase. Failure to do so will be considered inactivity. 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.

- 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 or posting screenshots to prove anything. I will modkill players who try break this rule to influence the outcome of the game.

- This is what the Bunker role card looks like:


- Town and Alien 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.

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

Setup:

There are two factions: Town and Aliens.

Town (11)

- Do not have BTSC
- Win the game when all aliens are eliminated.

1 Laser Gun Operator

- Is confirmed by the mod at the start of the game.
- May kill one player each day with his laser gun.

10 Bunkers

- May protect one player from Alien kills each night.
- Only has 4 shots. After those shots are used, cannot protect anymore.
- Self-protecting is allowed, but only once per Bunker.

Aliens (4)

- Have BTSC.
- Win the game if they either eliminate the Laser Gun Operator, or all Bunkers.
- On odds nights, the aliens make one kill together. The kill will work if no Bunkers are protecting the target.
- On even nights, if there are 2 or more aliens alive, the faction can perform up to 2 kills. If both kills aim for the same target, they will only survive if being protected by at least 2 Bunkers. If they aim for different targets, a single Bunker may stop each kill.

This game does not have lynches. The Laser Gun Operator will be responsible for carrying the town faction's kill. There will be a poll to help the players organize the discussion, but that poll has no effect on gameplay, and the Laser Gun Operator makes the final decision on who to kill.
