BSG VI -Sign ups CLOSED
A smaller version of the game. More roles could be added if needed.
Good guys
Athena (good cylon) –Each night she can scan to find cylons.
Athena would submit a name to scan. The answer to her question will be Cylon or Human. If Athena is lynched the autopsy will show cylon. If she finds Galen before D'Anna she will be told that she has found Galen. If she finds Galen after D'anna she wil only be told she has found a Cylon.
She has the one time power to get an extra scan during the day when a cylon target is found, to determine which cylon was detected (may be used anytime as long as that Cylon is alive). Cylons will know they were scanned when used.
Felix Gaeta -The only good Cylon is a dead Cylon is his philosophy. Gaeta has the ability to manipulate the vote and cast an extra vote against a player when he feels they must be a Cylon. He may only use this ability twice.
Gaeta is also determined to find out everything he can about the Cylons. Know your enemy. He may research a dead player each night. If they are human, that is the only info he will receive but if he researches a Cylon he will learn the role of the Cylon.
Starbuck – She can protect one person per night. If she protects a bad cylon (not Athena), She’s dead and that will override any kill selection of the cylons. She can protect the same player more than once but NOT on consecutive nights. She may choose to protect herself or no one.
Starbuck each night may search for the player with the gun. If she finds the player with the gun she may disarm that player on any day if they draw the weapon to fire. If the weapon has been passed to another person at night then Starbuck cannot disarm until she finds the new player with the weapon (She may continuously check the same person if she wishes). If the weapon is passed during the day and Starbuck has identified the gun holder on a previous night, she will notice the exchange and know the identity of the new gun holder. (If the option to disarm is available then the Moderator will e-mail Starbuck and ask if she wishes to disarm, as the player with the gun is about to shoot, but not who he will shoot).
Good guy/potential bad guy
Galen Tyrol –He is unsure of his loyalty after discovering he is a cylon but continues to assist the humans. If he is found by Athena he will give his sidearm to another player of his choice at anytime during the game (day or night after the night found), that player then will have the ability to kill during the day cycle (does not replace the lynch). Galen will give the player the gun and they will exchange info (allowed one PM to each other). The player with the gun then may use it at anytime during the day cycle. (As a good cylon, he will not use the sidearm, and yes he could accidentally pass it to a bad cylon).
If found by D’Anna, he will then have the one time ability to kill during the day. He will count toward the Cylons side and have access to the forum. (If D'Anna finds him after Athena, she will just be told his role and he will not switch sides to the Cylons at this point).
If not found he counts for the human side.
Citizens – Citizens have no power other than voting.
================
Bad Guys
Ellen - she sleeps with a player of her choice each night. That player, if he has a special role, cannot perform any special functions that night. Cannot sleep with the same player more than once. Ellen can be denied her nightly adventure by a Starbuck protection of that person. Twice during the game she may search the players room she is sleeping with to determine if they have a special role, but not what role they play. Results of scan would be special or not special.
D’Anna-each night she may research the background of a living player to determine their role. If she finds Galen Tyrol before Athena, he will switch to the Cylon side.
Leoben - has a mysterious psychic connection to Starbuck but does not know her identity. Each night he may scan a human and ask if the human is Starbuck. He may also once during the game psychically interrupt Starbucks protection (prevent her from protecting one night).
Sequence:
1. Leoben interrupts Starbuck
2. Starbuck searches for player with the gun.
3. Starbuck protects
4. Cylons assassinate
5. Ellen gets nasty
6. D'Anna scans.
7. Athena scans
8. Leoben scans
Hours in the game day shift:
Day 1 -18 hours
Day 2 -18 hours
Day 3 -15 hours
Day 4+ -12 Hours
What does this mean?
Each Real day time (24 hours give or take an hour or 2) is 3 hours of game time
Translation:
Day 1 = 6 RL Days
Day 2 = 6 RL Days
Day 3 = 5 RL Days
Day 4 and on = 4 RL Days.
Weekends will be an extension of Friday or added to Monday.
So Day 1 would last 6 days plus weekends. If no lynch happens then everyone goes to bed and the night cycle starts.
Victory
Humans win by killing all the Cylons (except Athena & Galen if unconverted)
Cylons win by killing enough humans to make the sides even thus ensuring a cylon victory.(Athena counts toward humans. Galen counts toward humans if unconverted).

Re: BSG VI -Coming Soon - New rules-discuss
Will the Civies be split 50/50 male/female (or as close as possible), or will it be assigned by random.org?
For Galen - if he is found by Athena, he stays human even if found later by D'Anna? If found by D'Anna, does he get the one time PM exchange? And does he then count for the Cylons?
Will a person be told if Ellen slept with them? (Not who she is, just that she slept with them.)
How many people is the rule set for?

Unsure if I want it to be 50/50 for all the good guy or just let random org decide (which is the way I'm leaning)stessier wrote:Will the Civies be split 50/50 male/female (or as close as possible), or will it be assigned by random.org?

if he is found first by D'Anna he then joins their side and will have access to the Cylon forum.
Yes.Will a person be told if Ellen slept with them? (Not who she is, just that she slept with them.)
we've been getting 11-12 players, so that's the goal.How many people is the rule set for?

good question. I've been thinking about the scanned on the same night dilemma and I have not come to a conclusion yet.

Ellen sleeping with Galen does not prevent any scans on him.

I understand what you are trying to do with the sexes but I think you need to be very careful not to break the game there. A lot of ways the sex of a player could be exploited. Heh he....sexualy exploited....he he. You need Baltar.

D'Anna will scan before Athena so the Cylons win him. Hopefully this will make him think a little harder about announcing his identity if he has not been swayed to one side or the other yet.Lassr wrote:good question.

The world is a swirling maelstrom of death and decay. It's inhabitants feed upon each other in a vile feast of flesh and blood. We should all live this way because it is the way of the universe that the strong survive and the weak PERISH!

true. With fewer people playing I had to trim down the roles.Isgrimnur wrote:This one seems easier to wrap my head around. In.
I never realized how complicated my game could be to others because I put it together, but when I play some of these other games with many rules I understand more clearly. Sometimes I just don't feel like trying to figure all the nuances of a complicated game. Like the LOTR game now, I love the concept but just didn't have the time now to dedicate myself to something different.

Re: BSG VI -After LotR - New rules-updated-sign ups
I almost did not sign up for the LOTR game for the reasons mentioned above. It seemed overly complex upon initial reading. Playing the ruleset has been quite different. The ruleset is simple in what needs to be done, but seems complex due to all the possibilities.Lassr wrote:true. With fewer people playing I had to trim down the roles.Isgrimnur wrote:This one seems easier to wrap my head around. In.
I never realized how complicated my game could be to others because I put it together, but when I play some of these other games with many rules I understand more clearly. Sometimes I just don't feel like trying to figure all the nuances of a complicated game. Like the LOTR game now, I love the concept but just didn't have the time now to dedicate myself to something different.

Re: BSG VI -After LotR - New rules-updated-sign ups
kind of the same with Scoops' Starship game. It took me half the game to get warmed up to the rules but once I did it wasn't so bad. It's that warm up period I dread sometimes.theohall wrote:I almost did not sign up for the LOTR game for the reasons mentioned above. It seemed overly complex upon initial reading.

I think roles are going to have to be added. He's getting a lot of us. And Baltar is too fun to leave out.
