[Batman Wayne]

In

[Phantom of The Library]

And with Batman Wayne joining we have everyone we need.  Should anyone else wish to join, feel free to volunteer for the replacement list.  If someone is unable to finish the game for one reason or another you will join the game and take their place so it can continue.

The game will begin some day in-between Tuesday and Friday of next week, most likely later rather than sooner.


Remember, a game of mafia can take up more than a month, so if you aren't sure you'll be able to be here the entire time, please inform us. If it's going to be a certain date that you won't be available on just let everyone know ahead of time (trust me it's a whole lot easier than trying to explain afterwards that you weren't lurking), or if you will, say, be going to climb Mt. Everest or something similar starting on August 2nd, it might be a good idea to wait for the next BM, so long as there are players willing to play in them they will be held!

For reading material in the mean-time, I recommend reading Dakarian's Scumhunting Bible, found in the OP (actually, I a little bit more than highly recommend reading the entire first post, but you should read Dakarian's Scumhunting Bible at least twice) It's an invaluable guide for players on finding scum.

If you're having a hard time understanding the game from the text descriptions alone, be sure to look at the flash tutorial, it should at least clear the fog a little.

Now that that's all said, the only way to truly learn how to play the game is to play it!

I will state now that that will not be an option.  One scum does the killing, one (should the role exist) does the blocking.  Each person has one action per night, excepting special cases where there are rules or roles that allow that.  This being a BM, there are none.

Right. It is, as Toaster said, a question that depends on the Mod and game type, but in a standard vanilla game (like the BMs are supposed to be), one player can only perform one action per night: if there is one scum left with a blocking power, they can choose to kill or block, but not both. Good for Phantom for clarifying that.

Are there any spots left? I'm a complete noob.

Survey says...

Try again when somebody asks for a replacement. It's pretty much guaranteed that that'll happen.

Yup, Should anyone drop out I will PM you and if you're available, you'll take their place.  See the post two posts above yours for advice on what to do in the meantime.




There has been a change in plans, in the interest of getting the game going as soon as possible, Bookthras has volunteered to help and he will begin the game on Sunday at 10PM CDT and manage it until I am available again on Thursday.
My apologies for not being able to be here, I was not expecting the roster to fill up so fast 

[FluffyBinLaden]

Sweet, sounds like a plan. Let it begin.

Batman Wayne was banned. So you're in.

Bookthras and Phantom of The Library both running a game, Jim and Dariush as ICs with Shakerag as the scum IC...

Oooooh boy, this is gonna be one great game.

Requesting spoilspec?

To be clear, it's only Phantom that's running the game. I just volunteered to mind the store for a couple of days while he's on holiday, since if we are full, starting sooner is better. I'll post vote counts, send PMs, that kind of thing, but it's Phantom's game (and he'll make any spoilspec or popcorn decisions when he's back).

But yes, I'm sure it's going to be a great game. Phantom has put together some kick-ass flavour and clearly has thought this out very carefully. I'll put up the opening post tomorrow when we're sure we have a full roster. Speaking of which:

Batman Wayne was banned. So [kingfisher] you're in. 

I sent kingfisher1112 a PM to confirm if he's ready to start. If he is, then we have a full roster and tomorrow evening I'll send the role PMs and post the opening flavour that Phantom prepared.

If anyone wants to volunteer for the replacement queue, now is a good time. Kingfisher has first dibs on the spot vacated by Batman Wayne until, say, tomorrow 4:00PM forum time; if he hasn't responded by then, the spot will go to the next person in the replacement queue. If we have none, then the game start will wait until we have a full roster.

[Dariush]

Ohlol, I was spot-on about not trusting Batman Wayne. I am so awesome.

[kingfisher1112]

Received PM, good to go!

[Bookthras]

Excellent, thank you. Game will start tonight.

[Chaos Armor]

Good luck, everyone.

[Dustylou2]

I'll join the replacement queue. Until I'm needed, good luck everyone.
