GothamScum Signup Thread

The Rev Owen · **Posted:** Sat Jul 12, 2008 11:58

VampireScum is coming to a close.

The next MafiaScum is game is going to be GothamScum, starting on Wednesday 16th July. (A shorter gap than the usual week because my boss is out of the office next week, making it an easier time to run a game.)

This thread will remain open until 1:55pm Monday 14th Juy, after which the player list will be finalised and PMs sent out ready for the start.

(Subject to change, etc.)

GothamScum supports up to 25 players and I really don't expect to get more signups than that. If I do, I'll run a ballot for players who played VampireScum.

Rules can be found in the Upcoming Games thread in the MafiaScum subforum. I will hopefully post a finalised ruleset on Monday in a separate thread, mods willing. In contrast to the creeping dread and paranoia of VampireScum, GothamScum is designed to be a quicker, more rough and tumble affair. (But who knows if it'll work out like that?)

The main theme is town vs. mafia, but there will some familiar faces from Batman's rogues gallery spicing things up. Will you be the Batman? A member of Black Mask's gang? A GCPD cop? An inmate in Arkham Asylum? Or maybe even Catwoman herself? Mrow!

Go on then.

Dimrill wants to be Batman, so as he can Bum Robin.

I am thinking of adding my name to the list, although I'm still feeling a little drained from day 3 of the current game.

I'd like to play, although you're starting on my birthday so I may post as though I have a few Tizers.

I wanted to sit this one out, but I'm intrigued by what I've seen of the rules, so I'm in if there's room.

TsuMuch · **Posted:** Sat Jul 12, 2008 15:08

Ooh Batman! Count me in. Please.

KevR · **Posted:** Sat Jul 12, 2008 16:38

Put me in the ballot please.

Although I "played" Vampire scum I would be interested in this.

I think I'll count you as not having played, if it comes to that.

I can't turn down the possible opportunity to "be" Goro Batman, so sign me up.

I've played in every game so far, so in the interest of fairness, kick me out before you do a ballot if you have too many players.

Rodafowa · **Posted:** Sat Jul 12, 2008 18:25

Ballot me, big boy.

I'd love to play this one. Please put me in the ballot.

Mr Dave · **Posted:** Sat Jul 12, 2008 22:20

Ok, I will go for it.

WARNING: If we have two days of nolynches, I reserve the right to appear to lose my mind again.

Poison Ivy should stop the nolynches, I hope.

And would it be possible for some nice mod person to give me the rights to post the rules in the MafiaScum subforum, please?

You've got it.

myp · **Posted:** Mon Jul 14, 2008 9:28

Yeah, I already did it and PMed him to test before announcing it. You know what I'm like for ballsing it up.

It's either going to be great or the worst thing ever.

Ok, the wonky ruleset sounds like fun, I'm in.

Busy day next week on Wednesday though, so I'll be quiet for the first day.

Dudley · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 8679

Yeah, I'm in mostly because I can't miss this

The Rev Owen · **Posted:** Mon Jul 14, 2008 12:36

The first couple of nights are going to be very interesting.

I've done some test builds with current players. They're... interesting.

The Rev Owen · **Posted:** Mon Jul 14, 2008 13:09

Okay, that's 25 players.

I'm tempted to lock the thread now to stop me having to do a ballot, but that would be a bit rude.

ElephantBanjoGnome · **Joined:** 22nd Dec, 2010 **Posts:** 8175

I'm guaranteed, I didn't play the last game. me me me!

myp · **Posted:** Mon Jul 14, 2008 13:11

I don't know what anyone else thinks, but to prolong our interest in the MS games, we should perhaps take a 2-3 week break after this one...
