... BYOBYOR.
Someone needs to run that.
Pick a role, it must be a role from a previously finished BYOR.

Rough Draft of the Opening of: Blessed be the Bomb Shelter - Pending Changes

There are few fates worse than starving to death. There are few fates worse than being slaughtered like an animal for meat and bone. There are few fates worse than being raped until such a time that your captors decided you would make a better meal than toy.

You are one of the few in the world to never have worried about this. When society began collapsing your great grandparents were lucky enough to enter one of the bomb shelters. Protected from the horrific wasteland the nation had become they were blessed with a life of normalcy. Blessed be the Bomb Shelter.

The bomb shelter, as well as others like it all across the world, contains the only surviving sane humans that you know of. The outside world fell quickly. Crime became common place and human meat became a necessity for survival as the fallout prevented any and all crop and beast from growing. The bomb shelter has provided for you your entire life. You never go hungry. You never go thirsty. You only have to follow the rules.

One day, however, the Bomb Shelter addressed everyone in the vault, so the elders say: Hello inhabitants. I have fed you. Clothed you. Protected you from the outside world. Until now you have followed my rules. Now, however, there are those of you who see the rules as folly. You must be punished. Those who break the rules are trash. Trash must be disposed of. Every week you will vote on someone to be disposed. When those who have broken the rules have been disposed of all will return to normal. If you refuse my demands, then all of you will be cleansed. Choose wisely.

It was the first time the Bomb Shelter spoke. But it was not the last. Over the years the population has dwindled due to the weekly purges. Now there are few of you left. Those who broke the rules must still be here. Those who broke the rules must be found. Those who broke the rules must be destroyed.

  • This could be you.

[Thoughts on flavor? I have the roles pretty much mapped out as I've been considering this for a loooong time]

Ooh. I have an idea.

How about Steal Someone Else's Role? It would go like this:

1)Everyone PMs the mod a role.
*The mod could make the roles now, or wait until before the game starts.
2)Everyone PMs the mod the user that they want to steal a role from.
3)Ties are sorted out somehow, and unused roles are shuffled among players without roles.

Sounds a lot like Bring someone Else's Role.

There's a bastard game I would like to run... I was hoping to run it sometime soon... Like... Immediately. But I suppose I can go onto a waitlist of some sort with all the BYOR's going on.
GO RIGHT AHEAD NERJIN!!!!!

Please don't make me have to run my game...  Run yours instead...
Heh. You want me to run mine before yours too? :P
I get it if you're not ready.

I think I have the opening flavor for mine ready, already. The idea for it, anyways, and the OP.

Just got to figure out which games on the queue should and can start now, and if Nerjin wants to go first or not. :)

Aren't the roles randomized in BSER, though?

This could make for some interesting day-game, since you would know the name of one other role, and might be able to figure out who has it.

The same situation arises in Someone Else's, too.
The main difference is that you can try to predict pre-game who's role is likely the most powerful. And the results of a tie.

Yeah, I guess I'll throw mine into sign-ups. I was expecting to have to wait a couple weeks, but with 4mask hesitant to start his, and others suggested afterwards, I can start right away.

Meh.  Screw it, I'm putting mine into signups as well.  Should probably get it over with.

Meph Apologies if you've been absent, but I noticed that FHPBYOR and THF:2050 haven't been moved on your list from queue to signups. You should maybe move them.

I'll put up Magic Mafia 2 into Planned. I won't Queue up until after BYOR13 is done, and that's assuming there's actual space. Otherwise, I'll just wait a while.

Aaaaaand, BYOR 13 is over. I'll wait a bit if someone else wants to run a game.

THF: 2050 is shut down. It can be removed from the list.
