Star Trek Scum Sign-Up Thread

Right-o. Time for another Scum game.

This game will be loosely based around Star Trek (TNG). As ever, knowledge of the source material is wholly unnecessary other than for geeky in-jokes.

Rules will go up at some point this week, but will be largely standard, with maybe one or two interesting little quirks.

What's the deal with low-availability players?

Depends on how low their availability is. If your average posting is likely to be <1/day then I'd give it a miss, but there's no need to be posting a zillion times.

THAT SAID, there will be encouragement to be a bit talkative, following the deadly silence of the last game.

Erm, why is my name not on the list already? I specifically issued an edict that I was to be considered IN for all games between now and the end of time.

Because I can't be trusted to remember such things.

Change me back to Mr Russell then. Break the rules.

The problem being that the mods have to type in your existing name in order to find it and change it. Chances are you'll be stuck forever now.

Luckily we don't. Otherwise Lambasting Sasquatch would have had an unexpected name change.

I'd be happy to be signed up for this, as the concept is intriguing. I haven't been involved with any of these *scum exploits previously, however, so if someone can point me in the direction of a set of guidelines to follow, I'll in.

You should have access to the Mafiascum forum up the top of the page, where all the previous games are kept. Have a read through to see what happens

All you really need to know to start with is not to vote for anyone for the first couple of days, then just vote for the people who talk the most...

Mr Russell · **Joined:** 6th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 12334

Only MaliA is allowed to wear a red shirt.

Joans · **Joined:** 31st Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 8655

I was going to give this one a miss, but it turns out

ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!

I'd quite like to play, please.

In.

TheVision · **Posted:** Wed Aug 31, 2011 0:28

Can I play please?

NervousPete · **Posted:** Wed Aug 31, 2011 0:33

Nervous Pete, taking the belm helm!

[I can only play in evenings, is that a hindrance?]

Mr Dom · **Posted:** Wed Aug 31, 2011 8:02

Go on then. Twist my arm.
Ow - not that much!

You are assuming that anyone will talk at all.

You will all be able to marvel at my tremendous and sadly neglected Star Trek geek gland.

Be me Starfleet, Klingon, Romulan or Ferengi, I will geek you all in the FACE!

Any more for any more?

Sign-ups will remain open until Sunday, at any rate. Not sure what time Sunday... but I'll be sending out the roles in the evening, for a Monday morning start.

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49244

Yeah, go on then.

*your* brain ? (Data / Lore / whatever the beta thingy was)

or "Your Brain" (Dr Noonien Soong)

Whatever [vote:ElephantBanjoGnome] for the unprovoked role claim

Mr Russell · **Joined:** 6th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 12334

That's the problem with a theme game. If anyone tries to express interest in the theme by doing a good quote then people see it as a role-claim and as such people say less instead.

It's better in my mind when people are still roles such as 'mafia', 'detective' etc but play a role in the game completely unrelated to their mafia role. Eg. it doesn't follow that someone roleplaying Kirk is actually a good guy.

But then of course you lose the point of themes.

Here's an idea. Try not killing me off on the first night if you want more talking
