Now then. It seems that my co-mod's vanished from the forums. Options?

Just run the game without a co-mod. You can handle it, yeh? Pros: !!insanity, fun!!, Cons: Game might not go so well, roles might be unbalanced.
- 8 (53.3%)
Seek out a new co-mod. You might need it. Pros: sanity, good design, general boost, Cons: less !!insanity!!.
- 3 (20%)
I have no opinion on the matter.

Fallacy's BYOR(5/9): GAME OVER.
« on: March 11, 2016, 07:47:13 pm »

((Optional flavor follows))
Null Nevermore, collector of gods, master of multi-universal death games, incredibly dangerous and powerful demigod, was bored.
Very bored.
His latest attempt at getting a bunch of people to massacre each other... was undergoing a time flux. The end result: the deathmatch game was proceeding at an extremely slow rate.

"Null."

Null turned his comfy office throne around to face his loyal second in command, Nowhere Nevermore. "What is it, Nowhere?"

Nowhere smiled. "Have you ever heard the concept of a "mafia" game?"

"No... I have not."

Nowhere took this as a request to continue. "I know how much you like your deathmatches, but there are other options for entertainment. A mafia game is a game of intellect, a game of the mind, a game of-"

"With deadly powers?"

Nowhere sighed slightly. "Yes, there can be deadly powers."

"Very well. I'll try it."
~~~
A few hours later, 9 Manifestations were drawn from the multiverse...
~~~
The rules:

Basic mafia rules are in effect. Also a few reminders:
No sending PMs to other players(unless you're a mafia player, in which case you can send PMs to your scum buddy).
Don't directly quote your role PM(you may paraphrase it, and you are allowed to directly quote things I've said in thread).
If you're dead, you get one bah post(no game-relevant content). After that, no more posting. Unless you come back to life(role powers, eh?).

A special hammer system is in effect:
The game will consist of 72 hour days and 48 hour nights(the time will pass at half time during weekends(during a weekend, the deadline will approach half as quickly)). During the day, the day may end because of a hammer(getting the majority of the game's available votes on a player will lynch that player, ending the day), or because of the deadline. What makes this system different is that at LYLO or MYLO, the hammer system will not be active, and the only way to end the day will be via reaching the deadline. To prevent mod confirmation of the fact that it's MYLO or LYLO, the fact that the hammer system is not or is being used will not be announced.

To ease my newbie GM mind's transition into GMing mafia games(read this, it's important): I'm keeping the roles somewhat simple, and there will be no third parties. There will be 7 town players and 2 mafia players.

Any and all of the normal rules and whatnot may be subverted/modified by role powers.

This is a BYOR, meaning when you go in, you must also PM me something for me and Residays to build your role out of. What are you allowed to submit? Almost everything.
Don't submit anything that would violate the forum rules and guidelines, or anything that would violate the Nevermore canon(I'm serious, thank you).

The theme this round is: Basic.
~~~
I'm going to(hypothetically) be co-modding this with Residays to help ease my brain.
NOT. Residays vanished.
~~~
So... I'm taking 9 players. The game will start after FHPBYOR2 is finished.


~~~
Seeing as it's my first time modding a mafia game, please inform me(via PM if you like) if you notice any mistakes I may have made(in the OP, in actions... vote counts... basically everything).

Shameless bump to help get people's attention.
I don't think I can run a BYOR with only four players...

I'm definitely still going to run this.
Even though it's taking a rather long time to get players...
even though my (potential)co-mod is still an escaped lunatic and her last post was on march the first...
even though this is going to be my first mafia game...

FallacyofUrist is filled with DETERMINATION by thinking of the awesomeness that is to come.

I'm definitely still going to run this.

In, because Local Emergency should be done by the time this ends. If not, I can juggle. I don't know a lot about your setting, is there some post I can read? I'll send my role in now and change it if it violates the setting.

Heh.
I suppose, in all my time of GMing and whatnot, I've never made a definitive explanation of the Nevermore setting.
I'll do so now.
~~~
There was once a man named Null. He was an incredibly powerful mage with a sword that nullified every magic it touched except its own. Then he made a stupid mistake against a mage named Thrakor, causing him to trip on his feet... end result: he accidentally impaled himself with his own sword.
((I based the previous paragraph on the bay 12 forum game Perplexicon(the first one, by piecewise). Everything henceforth is my own invention.))

Null happened to have children, who were understandably angry about his death. Thrakor, after some time, eventually had a family of his own.
Fast forward a long, long time...
There are now two multiverse spanning families/magical mafia clans known as the Nevermores and the Forevermores, the Nevermores descended from Null, the Forevermores descended from Thrakor. The Nevermores are lead by the latest Null Nevermore, a madman with a penchant for deathmatch game shows and a collector of gods. The Forevermores are lead by the latest Thrakor, also known as Thrakor Prime, seeing as all Forevermores have taken the first name Thrakor.
The feud between the families isn't over yet.
~~~
That's the basic idea.

Surely there are three more people wanting a BYOR somewhere.

Flabort's HPBYOR2 just ended... so did Vengeful 11... and Local Emergency Mafia too...
the players are there, they're just not paying attention.

I'll edit the title again.

Don't submit anything that would violate the forum rules and guidelines, or anything that would violate the Nevermore canon(I'm serious, thank you).
I'd be potentially willing to bet it's this part.  I, for one, have no idea what the fuck Nevermore is.
