Bastard Paranormal 3 - Game over! 4 Exterminators Escaped!
« on: November 12, 2020, 04:12:03 pm »

There seems to be some interest in a Bastard Paranormal game, and I have this set-up that I've been planning on doing for a long time.

Should be a good time!

Being a Bastard Mod game, you're going to have to work at it to figure out how to actually win the game. While this is going to be a Paranormal game, and the flavor and theme will reflect that, you cannot rely solely on strategies that work in normal Paranormal games to win this.

Remember, things may not be as they seem.

I'd like to have at least 9 people for this one if we can get that many, but the more the merrier!

Players:
  • Caz
  • TricMagic - Alien Exterminator
  • 4maskwolf - Alien Exterminator
  • Shakerag
  • Luckyowl - Alien Exterminator
  • webadict - Alien Exterminator
  • heydude6
  • juicebox - Alien Exterminator
  • IcyTea31 - Alien Exterminator
  • Jim Groovester
  • Toonyman - Alien Exterminator

I'll leave sign-ups open for a bit longer. At least through Friday, and then we can kick the game off as soon as I have time to do all the roles and whatnot.

NOTE: As this is a Bastard Game, any and all rules are subject to change away from what is posted here without notice. You have been warned.

Here are the normal rules:

Here is the (current) list of possible roles:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Definitions:
    Doppelganger: These foul creatures kill and eat humans, taking on all of their memories and abilities. Once they have a form, most doppelgangers cannot change again. They are a flawed species, and possess and uncontrollable blood lust forcing them to kill and eat humans each night. Their goal is to destroy all of the humans in the town and make their way out into the larger world.
    Night Kill: Any kill that happens during the Night Phase. The Doppelgangers each get 1 Night Kill as a group, in addition to any allowed by Roles.
    Morningkill: A morning kill happens between the night and day phase, and cannot be prevented by abilities that prevent night kills (Such as the Guardian). A Morning Kill will always look like it recently happened.
    Abduction: When a player abducts another player, two things happen. First, the abducted player is role-blocked for the night. Second, that player is removed from play for that night (and possibly the game). While removed, they cannot be the target of any other night action and cannot vote or be lynched during the day. Exceptions: The Paranoid War Vet and Sentry Gun are not role-blocked by an abduction, and will kill the player attempting the abduction. Abducted players are not role-flipped until their abductor leaves the game.



I've written a perl script to pick roles and whatnot randomly. It has some rules that it follows, but it should make for a nice amount of randomness to the set-up. Note that while I'll generally just go with whatever it spits out, I may make modifications to the set-up in order to make a more interesting game or to test out a specific feature. Also note that I will intentionally mess or not mess with stuff just to screw up anyone depending on the Gambler's Fallacy.

Note that the script NO LONGER restricts most roles to only one or two per side. Being able to use meta-game deduction to determine that someone must be town/scum breaks the game, so I've removed the aspects of the game that allow that.

Not all roles are guaranteed. In fact, it's quite possible to have a game with nothing but normal doppelgangers and humans.


General Rules:
 
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

  Feel free to ask for clarification on any rule.
 


The Rules have Changed

The game is no longer split into Day and Night phases. Voting will no longer occur.

The game is now split into Truce phase and Hunt phase.

Truce phase replaces day. You may discuss things here, purchase tech, or trade tech with one another. It acts like a Day phase in most respects, without the voting and lynching.

The Truce phase will last for 48 hours or until everyone has indicated they are Ready for the Hunt phase to begin.

The Hunt phase replaces the Night phase, and functions like it in most respects. However, the thread will not be locked so you can still discuss things in the thread over the station comms. Each Hunt phase will go for 48 hours or until I have all Actions and have a chance to do the write-ups.

Sounds like an adventure! However, I need time to process the last one.

I missed the fact that there was a mafia revival. Thank goodness I decided to check the banter thread today. Lenglon's thoughts on the meta were spot on!

Count me in. I didn't have the energy for a normal game, but bastard is a different beast altogether.

Meph summoned me and I have arrived.

I should have enough time to not totally disappoint everybody with how much I'll be able to play.
