I think we have a sufficient lack of games at this point. I also know that BYOR5 never saw a true end, and would therefore require a game to replace its tragic downfall. For this, I submit for your enjoyment, another BYOR5. There shall be no crazy set-ups like last time. There shall simply be crazy people with crazy roles.
Crazy, amirite?
This game is like many other games you play out there in Mafialand. You lynch the Mafia as Town, kill the Town as Mafia, and severely mess things up as Third Party. But, in this game, you control yourself. You pick a rolename, and I make a role that matches fairly well with your choice.
Yes, I know what you might be thinking: "But Web, you're so clearly awesome!" Well, I have to agree with you, but what does that have to do with this game? It's a good reason to join, of course!
Rules:
Bring Your Own Role Mafia. Basically, you pick the name of your role, and I pick how it acts and interacts with other roles. Any name shall do, and if it is obscure, a link to a data source might help. ...But please not TOO obscure.
This is otherwise known as U-Pick. I shall do my best to insure playability and avoid broken games.
Therefore, let's play!
As for rules:
PMing: Disallowed unless Role Allows
Hammering: Semi-Allowed (Hammer ends Day, Days are timed [72 Hour Days, 24 Hour Nights, Weekends do not count in that])
Extensions: 48 Hours, Requires more for than against
Quoting Mod: ALWAYS Disallowed
Editing Posts: ALWAYS Disallowed
Along with never under- or over-estimating your own significance.
AND PLAY TO WIN!
And, send your role in when you sign up! Please provide a Wikipedia link (NO VIDEOS/50-PAGE ESSAYS [SOMEONE ALWAYS MISSES THIS!]), if obscure. Or a description, if you're feeling extra keen that day.
Please note: If you do not read the rules and proceed to send me a role with: a) a Video Link, b) an essay, or c) a picture, then do not be surprised if I cut you. And not just from the game, but possibly in real life.Players:
