Also Retro, who is an Overseer, and has been quietly observing.
But since I'm here, Splinter, what boards will you need hosted here at Outer Gafia? Will the whole game be hosted here?

Everything on OG. Main thread for everyone. Second thread for "dead" people (hidden). Scum thread (obviously hidden). Spec thread. No idea how you work out the permissions, but scum players will be a mix of living (main + scum chat only) and "dead" (+second thread) |

Everything on OG. Main thread for everyone. Second thread for "dead" people (hidden). Scum thread (obviously hidden). Spec thread. No idea how you work out the permissions, but scum players will be a mix of living (main + scum chat only) and "dead" (+second thread) That actually will be pretty easy, I think. The setup will be slightly more complicated than usual to run, but very doable. We'll have five permission groups that we will move players in an out of: Player - This group will be able to access the Island Board Mafia -The Group will be able to access the scum chat, whether they are dead or alive. Player (Dead) - This group will lose the ability to post in the island chat, but will gain access to the afterlife. Spectator - This group won't be able to post in either thread. This will be the final destination of all dead players. Mafia Spectator - I like the dead mafia to still be able to read their thread, so I'll use this as a final destination for Mafia players. Example 1: Scrafty is on the Island and is Town, so she'll be in the Player and Mafia groups. When she is killed on the island, she will be taken out of the player group and moved to the player (dead) group, which will give her access to the afterlife. When she dies in the afterlife, she'll be removed from all groups and placed in the Spectator group, which will give her access to the spec thread. Example 2: Sorian is on the Island and is Scum, so he'll be in the Player and Mafia groups. When he is killed on the island, he will be taken out of the player group and moved to the player (dead) group, but will stay in the Mafia group so he still has scum thread access. When he dies in the afterlife, he'll be removed from all groups and placed in the Mafia Spectator group, which will give him access to the spec thread and still keep him in the scum thread. (He will not, however, be able to post in the scum thread any more, he will only be able to read.) What is this game actually called? |

I assume you didn't mean to include Scrafty in the Mafia group, so otherwise that looks perfect.
Just a heads up, everyone is town D1, roles are assigned N1. I guess that might be awkward since I'm aiming for short night phases... I'll get the assignments to you ASAP.
OH another spanner in the works... There is a living PR that can access (and post in) both threads, and might lose all access to the afterlife thread mid-game (ie. they become ordinary).
Title...
Volcano Island
...eh. That reminds me, any of you creative types fancy writing some day start/end flavour? (Someone save me)

Oh yeah, alright, I'll do it when I get to my PC (soon).
Here's the short version:
Doctors - can't heal anything
Cops - gets role titles, not alignments
Watchers and trackers - will (hopefully) provide a basis for discussion, but unlikely to catch scum directly (due to the way PRs work
Fake cop - gets "spirit animals" - completely meaningless.
Switchers
This game isn't really about the PRs.
First off, PRs aren't used directly but given out as 1-shots. Therefore they will end up in the hands of both scum and town players.
Second, they don't actually do much apart from look at other powers (which in turn don't do much).
So basically there will be a lot of powers floating around at night that change very little about the game. This is designed to get people talking about actions taken and results received. PRs are unlikely to directly catch scum, but will catch liars (if town share enough information).
There are a couple of PRs that are more important, I'll put the full descriptions in your spreadsheet.

Ok all the roles are now in that sheet. Between that and the summary thread I think everything should be somewhat explained. I'll need more specific questions now for us to start moving forward on this.

Splinter, I'm going to create these boards Volcano Island - Game Board The Next World - "Dead" Thread The Realm of Angry Spirits - Scum Thread Oceanic Flight 815 - Spectator Thread How are these for titles? Let me know if you want them to be something else. I'm building the boards but keeping them invisible for now. |

Okay, everyone is assigned as a player. Let me know once Roleclaims have gone out, and I'll assign the scum, make the boards visible, and then you can create the threads.
From there, the glorious insanity can begin.

Actually can you give me access to the boards? Going to make the main thread first so I can include it in the role PMs
I guess the main board can be visible already, but everything else must stay hidden

Ok Scrafty made the boards visible for me (which was terrifying, but looks like it worked out ok). Retro can you just double check when you get on - the Afterlife board should be 100% invisible to everyone but me (and even I can't see it at the moment so I think we're ok)

This is actually the part of the game I'm most worried about. Everyone is expecting crazy and everyone is receiving ordinary town PMs. I half expect zipped to ragequit when he gets his.
Expecting a lot of suicidal players D1.
Also I sent nin's PM to Palmer, cos I'm great (fixed it now)

The boards are deliberately set up to be sort of ambiguous. At worst Scrafty knows that the Dead Thread is separate from the Spec thread, and while she can draw conclusions from that, (if she even looked that closely in the first place,) she won't guess why.
Not sure why you can't see all of them, I'll check on that.

btw real roles will be assigned when the first lynch target is selected - Sunday evening - so if there's anything that needs changing that is pretty much the deadline

Please post the scum list here, then. I might not be around Sunday Evening, so Yeeny can get them assigned if I can't.

I can't imagine it's that complicated now that everything's set up btw real roles will be assigned when the first lynch target is selected - Sunday evening - so if there's anything that needs changing that is pretty much the deadline I did a little extra flavor on the boards - the descriptions make it a little spookier. Let me know what you think. Looks good  |
