Dimrill - You are a Dimrill and your night action is bumming. Once per night phase you may PM me with the name of a player to bum. That player will be too sore to carry out their night action, if they have one. They will know that they have been bummed but not who they were bummed by. You win once you have bummed every player left alive. Your win condition is Bum.

Suggest some more! Here! Before they wreck my game thread!

Comical Gnomes - You are Comical Gnomes and your night action is winning. At any point in the game you may PM me and say you're bored now and would like to win. If any other player targets you during the game, you fly into a furious rage and kill them.

Ace Ace Baby
You are an Ace Ace baby and have the largest camera lens in the universe. Once per night phase you can PM me the name of a player that you want to papparazzise*. If that person is carrying out a night action, a photo of them carrying out their dastardly deed will be stored in an unmarked brown envelope in a drawer of your desk. If you die before te end of teh game the townsfolk shall find your snaps and the contents shall be revealed to them. Your win condition is Town

Grim... You are loaded. You can buy another player to act as your human shield at night (2 if you fancy). During the day phase you are completely protected by your Land Rover.

Is it bad I think this is actually a really interesting role for a future game?

No you're right, Mimi's completely ruined it by taking you seriously and coming up with a good idea.

I think it might be a bit overpowered.

Myoptika

You are Myoptika. You are adept at making people switch votes when someone you dislike votes in a certain way. Once per night phase you can PM me the name of a player that you dislike. When the player you dislike votes for a player to be lynched, all other votes for that player will immediately switch to the player that currently has the lowest votes and may not be changed for the rest of the day. Your win condition is TOWN.

Mr Chris. You are a Mr Chris and, thanks to a newborn child, your night actions are exactly the same as your day actions. You have one opportunity to offload the child onto another player but should that player then get lynched, you have to have it back. Your win condition is sleep.

You are Mr Chris. You are kept constantly on edge by your sleepless child. Once per night phase you can PM me the name of a player. You will hand your child to them to babysit, thus preventing them from carrying out their usual nightly action. Your win condition is GET SOME SLEEP.

You are Chinnyhill. Once per day you may PM me a name and a piece of remarkably in-depth knowledge about the history of Amstrad or Sir Alan Sugar. The person will be some astounded that anyone would know this that they will be unable to carry out their action that night.

You are a Mr Russ. Everything you do will be suspicious and you will always be in the frame for a lynching. Once per night you may PM me the name of a player and that player will be instructed to try and be more suspicious than you the next day.

I think Mimi's idea is excellent! If you limited it to two (?) stored photos only on a FIFO basis, it could really work. That way, if they got the (sire/mafia boss) they don't have to take any more photos and could actually act all suspicious in attempt to selflessly save the town and get themselves lynched.

Or maybe limit who they can find out about, eg Mafia boss isn't likely to allow cameras near by, or Vampire Sire can't have photo taken, or something, if it is deemed too powerful.

Actually, do Vampires show up in photos?

The photographer could take a picture, wait a day for it to develop and if it's empty, then he knows that the person he tried to take a picture of is a vampire ( or he just sucks at taking pictures )

Is it just me that thinks a BeeXScum ruleset could actually be viable?

Joans · **Joined:** 31st Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 8658

I was hoping this was going to be the makings of a proper game.

Edit - I reckon the Dimrill, Ace Ace Baby, Chinny Hill and one of the Mr Chris roles could all work.
It needs some sort of group though.

CUS · **Posted:** Tue Jul 08, 2008 19:27

It can't be a proper game, you've got no antagonist defined thus far. Just a disparate collection of tossers (no offence meant) and losers (sorry!)* with nothing for them to all to come together for.

You need a baddie, in short.

I recommend following the Hollywood playbook and making him a dirty forrin type. Make him hmm, a bit short (like Napoleon was alleged to be), with some kind of hilarious facial thing like a daft handlebar moustache, or maybe an amusing hat, and give him some silly nationality. Welsh, or French, or Luxembourgish (see also: Albanians in Wag the Dog), something that's obviously not really an evil foreign empire basically. Oh! And give him some hilarious vice. Perhaps sexual... or y'know, he's a massive alcoholic. But not so boring as that, make it a bit quirky. I dunno... cake - yes, like Jo Brand, have the antagonist be addicted to cake. Or packets of nuts, say. Lastly, he needs to have a terrifying but surprisingly mundane modus operandi. For example, the antagonist from No Country For Old Men uses merely an air cylinder to wreak frightening death. So, hmm, give the antagonist something you could find in a typical B&Q. Such as perhaps a caulking gun, for caulking with caulk. Or a carpet stapler - that sort of thing. And, if you wanted to do something a bit different, instead of him actually killing people... have him (or her, natch) perhaps... massively affect the gas supply for a house, so it's now unsafe. Or an EMP device (a bit out the ordinary that, of course) that disables all local vehicles, which might e.g. prevent a MetalAngel or MaliA player from riding on his motorcycle to safety, or AceAceBaby and Grim... from escaping in their jeeps.

I don't really go on forums that much, really, I never have. Is there anyone on Retrogamer or RLLMUK who might do for some part of the above? Not all of it, obviously, that'd be daft, but anyone who kind of slightly fits the bill? Jeff Minter maybe? His special weapon could be waggling a stereogram in front of your eyes and then flouncing off if you tell him you really can't see anything and are a bit bored.

* I'm kidding! Ho ho!

Are you a mafia style group, or do you start as a single Mimi and try to infiltrate the whole town?

Surely it would be a single Mimi commanding an army of monkehs?

I'm afraid the rules have changed now, you get one Mimi and two Monkehs.
