Be Excellent To Each Other

Question - Does Yoda have to take on the other rebels abilities / can they chose to or not ? / or can they mix and match - also if one of the others is killed does yoda take on the power then , or only when both are gone ?

(it seems the empire have the choice but Yoda is forced into taking the others powers at some point?)

Yoda is forced, the Sith have a choice.

This will be interesting!

Why is Jabba's secondary sith? I think it should be survive.
How will the storm troopers know they have performed an action? Can they be killed/detected doing so (doesn't look like it)? And who chooses which ST performs the task (if relevant)?
JJB's role is to get himself killed? Can they state outright, "I am JJB"?
What is Han Solo's win condition?
Can yoda ask questions of the ilk, "Is X character Y?"
Do Boba Fetts deliveries stack, ie if he has deleivered 2 to JTH, and JTH is killed, he then delivers one to DV, does he win?
Actually, can JTH win? Boba Fett's win conditoin kicks in prior to JTH, but JTH is relient upon BF to win.
DV's shouty tactic, end of this day/next two night sections; which one, and who chooses?

I'm assuming that, for the purposes of the game, everyone has magically learnt to speak English? (apart from R2)

It's both. Luke can do nothing for the remaining day phase... not even post. He also has no night action for the following two nights, so shocked is he.

R2D2 and C3PO can talk to each other, right?

Han has no win condition? Probably rebel/survive?

It's Rebel, but I can't edit the post until a Mod gives me the rights.

No, for the lolz.

It would appear that 3PO should try and kill himself, because the rebels would be much better off with R2's Intel going straight to Luke.

So Jar Jar just says "I AM JAR JAR" and then he dies, right?

I think my English question is still valid, otherwise it's going to be bloody obvious who the jawas are...

Yes, they all speak English.

Why would anyone kill him? It's not in their interest. So if he does that then nobody will kill him. You could even argue roleclaiming as Jar Jar is against his win condition...

Because he's mother fucking Jar Jar Binks!

Make everyone with a killing ability lose if they kill jar jar?


Malc

I like this. Power roles galore! I like that there appears to be two 'mafia' going against each other.

LOOKING FORWARD TO IT

('cept I probably be a fucking ewok)

True, but I expect a desire to win the game will come ahead of the desire to off Jar Jar.

Perhaps a foolish belief, but it's up to y'all.

Oops - you should have them now. These rules excite me.

However:

Maybe so... perhaps they should go to Leia instead?

Could just have them not going anywhere - basically reducing him to a standard detective role.

I'm gonna put together a set of rules for Red Dwarf Scum, I think.

This sounds complicated. So many rules there is.

Wait, what happens if a jedi dies, can they still participate in the game, they did in the films

"run luke!"
"use the force you fucking idiot"
etc...

No, but they gain entrance to the Qui-Gon Jinn Memorial Dead Thread.

I propose a game of Vanilla Scum.

Sorry, I realised this not long after posting - I should have asked if they're aware of each other's identities.

Again, nope. Pesky midichlorians.

I don't know what that means.

Just chucking these out as I've written them on my lunch break. Comments? Tried to keep it fairly balanced, but may not have managed it!

Rules for DwarfScum:

Boys from the Dwarf:

The Boys from the Dwarf know who each other are and can communicate freely. Their win condition is Red Dwarf.

Kryten: You are the know-it-all mechanoid of the posse. Once per night you can investigate another player and you will be told that player's win condition (not role).

Rimmer: You're a total coward with all the social grace of a pubic louse. You can choose one player per night, and pay them a visit. Once there, you'll use your skills in hypnosis to fix them with the mesme-stare, rendering them powerless for that night (effectively roleblocking them).

Lister: Before the crew were resurrected you were the last human being alive. Great example, eh? You're a total slob, but deep down you're a good person. However, you have no special abilities.

Cat: You give pleasure to the world because you have such a beautiful ass. You also have a tremendously sensitive nose and can smell when danger's imminent. If anyone tries to kill you during the night, you will sense the danger and escape, but not before making a note of who came for you.

-------------------------------------
The Bad Guys:

All of the Bad Guys know who each other are and can communicate freely. Their win condition is Bad Guys

The Inquisitor: You are a simulant, hellbent on forcing everyone in the universe to be judged. Once per night you can pick a player, and that player will be erased from history. All of that player's previous posts, across all of the day phases, will be removed (including quoted portions). Any other player who mentions an erased player after they've been erased from history will also be removed for creating a time paradox!

Note for RDGeeks: The Inquisitor's self-repair function has been broken, so he can be killed.

Hackhackhack-ach-hachhachach: A GELF from the Kinitawowi tribe, Lister jilted you at the altar. You've tracked him down to Red Dwarf but don't know who he is, it all happened a while ago. Once per night you can send your Emohawk to a nominated player. If the player you choose is Lister, he will be killed. If the player you choose has a role with a night action, the Emohawk will steal that night action from them and they will not be able to use it again. You have a secondary win condition of Lister.

Queeg 500: Red Dwarf's backup computer was resurrected along with the crew, and after being disabled for three million years has gone insane and wants control of the ship. Once per night he can investigate a player and their role will be revealed (not their win condition).

Camille: A pleasuregelf. Once per night you can nominate a player, and that player will be unable to perform their night action from being infatuated with you.

-------------------------------------
The Wildcards:

Dr. Hildegard Landstrom: Once a brilliant scientist, you've been infected with a holographic virus and now have the ability to fire hex vision at people. Nominating a player during the night phase will fry them alive with the hex vision. However, using your ability shortens your lifespan. At the start of the game, you will live for 5 nights. Each time you use your hex vision, that lifespan is shortened by 1 night. Her win condition is Dr. Fruitloop. She also has a secondary win condition, Rimmer.

-------------------------------------
The Innocents

The rest of the players will be unnamed members of the Red Dwarf crew. Their win condition is Red Dwarf.

-------------------------------------
Win Conditions

Red Dwarf: All of the bad guys are killed.
Bad Guys: Enough of the Innocents and Boys from the Dwarf are killed to make a voting majority against them impossible.
Dr. Fruitloop: You successfully kill 3 other players with your hex vision.
Lister: Lister is killed by the Emohawk.
Rimmer: Rimmer is killed by Dr. Hildegard Landstrom.

Christ, have fun doing the admin for the Inquisitor one.

Quite - what happens if you remove someone who voted for someone who died? Would you resurrect the dead person?

Also, Rimmer's roleblock should be telling the target about a game of Risk.

No, I'd hand-wave that away by saying that the "sperm that never made it" would have voted the same way


Much better

I was going to suggest that !

<then I rolled a 6 , and .....>

I think in the current setup the bad guys are too powerful , for one thing remove their inter communication (it also increases the chances they hit each other or the emohawk steals better than dwarf powers).

I'd also be inclined to add a talkie toastie to the character list with something about an obsession with toast and not caring who lives or dies but how much toast he can get consumed (each night he has to get X number of people to agree to eat some toast and only certain players are toast eaters?)

While we are sharing upcoming games, a sneak preview of something I am working on I'll need a lot of help, as it is turning out to be bloody complicated!


Super Scum

A sunny day at Metropolis prison, all is well in the world…
Superman and his two good buddies, Batman and Robin have taken the opportunity to have a picnic in the grounds.

<BOOM>

What's that noise?

<BOOM>

Yes, that noise

It appears that Lex Luthor and his cronies have turned up, and they are attacking the prison, too many members of their volleyball club have been locked up and if they don't get some out, they will have to forfeit their next match! No way they are going to lose to the Smallville Middle School under 12's… again…

But all is not as it seems, the attack is a distraction, Lex flicks a switch on his robot suit and a mysterious dome covers the immediate vicinity, a dome made of kryptonite. Everyone is trapped!
(Oh, and when Lex flicked the switch a kryptonite infused length of rope fell out of his pocket, no one notices, maybe that will come in useful in future? Nah...)

Seems as if Lex made a few miscalculations on the dome makeup, not only has it trapped everyone, but it has also had the side effect of removing specific parts of specific peoples memories, and has also taken away their ability to recognise some people.
How strange.

Only one way to settle this…

Yep, that would be excellent. We did Batman a while back, and that was superb.

Also - STOP POSTING IN HERE I KEEP THINKING THE NEXT DAY HAS STARTED.

That'll stop 'em!

P.S. Still waiting on night action(s) and going out now, so no update for a while.

WELL FUCK YOU BUDDY

Any chance of a sign up thread at some point I know it's not been that long since the last game, but this looks quite cool.

And then I think we should have a game with the cult in again.

How does the cult work?

You start with say 2 cultists who can talk amongst themselves. One is a leader who's night action is to recruit another member to the cult. Eventually the cult becomes powerful enough to control the lynchings.

That sounds like an excellent addition.

We've played it here in the distant past, and also had a live game or two at TEH COTIJJ (but obviously after you'd gone).

Sure thing, i'll ping Grim... a pm first though, as to play the superscum 2 game I guess we'll need a jail thread setup that only Jail members can see, so they can talk amongst themselves if they want to (unless of course he reads this )

Plus I just need to find out tomorrow what's happening with my work situation and if i'm still going to be relatively free for the next couple of weeks.

Yeah, that's easy enough to set up.

Are you going to get him fired?

/leaves the jail stuff to Craster

Oh - right. OK.

Done.

Ta

Ooh, getting excited now.
