Right, so I'll open sign-ups
14th of July. Advance notice goes here so people know when to check back and stuff, and so I can arleady given some information on what kind of game it'll be. You'll have plenty of time to consider.
Remember that this is an Anonymous game, so don't express interest here, unless you don't mind spoiling the guise. Let me make this clear.
This isn't compulsory anonymous: I won't punish you if your guise is dropped.
Alright then.
The game's theme is Cavalier of the Abyss. Knowledge of the theme is absolutely not required, it's just there for flavour purposes. None of the roles, alignments and characters are linked. It'll be like me and Touhou themes. Absolutely
.
Anyway.
- This game will feature a power role for each player. There are no vanillas in my game, and similarly there will also be no "functional vanilla" players. Each role is guaranteed to be usable and/or of use in some capacity. It's advised not to sign up if you hate role madness, and similarly it is also not advised to attempt to game the system.
- No role has a standard name, and no player will flip his abilities. For example, you could have Oski, who is a town Time Manipulator, with the ability to rewind the day and remove any votes placed in the last x time. When Oski dies, you will see that he was Oski, the town Time Manipulator, but not what his role entails.
- Not all roles will list all their abilities. There may be hidden aspects to your role, both negative and positive for your side. Any positive or negative hidden side-effect will be reasonable. Things such as, "You are a vig, but you die after vigging surprise!" aren't reasonable.
- Standard roles do not necessarily exist. Conversely, it is also not a given that all roles are crazy. Therefore, clear your mind of conceptions that you can class people as being "a cop", or having a "batshit insane" power.
- Characters are given at random. You cannot /in for a specific character. Why? Because it's easier for me this way, flavourwise. Deal with it.
So much for game specific. To add some further information.
- This game will observe a brief pause during the Otakon weekend, to accomodate players attending Otakon. During this period the game will be locked and time will not progress. I will do my best to make this synonymous with the start of the night, or during the night, but I cannot make promises nor account for players speeding up (or slowing down) time.
- Hydras are only OK for Mentor Hydras. If you would like one, please negotiate with a possible hydra-mate and then BOTH PM me to confirm /in with eachother. However, I may refuse your Hydra if I deem it an unnecessary or unbalancing partnership. I think you can all agree that Kitten4u + Kiro would be a frightening situation.
- On the subject of modkills, I hate them. That is not to say I won't use them. Please think closely about whether or not you will have the time, energy and desire to dedicate to the game, because I will modkill you if you are negatively affecting the game. I penalise myself for being an arse; do not expect me to be any easier on you than I would be on myself.
- This is a 13-player game. 13 is an unlucky number.
Of course, I'm much less of an arse than I like to present myself as. :3 Basically don't shit things up and we'll have a jolly great time.
Right then, I hope to receive many PMs to join from July 14th onward!
