Octopus Overlords

I'd be happy to be INvolved, however I'd certainly understand if you'd hit your desired limit/balance.

And I would dearly love a start before Monday so I have something to do at work this weekend... . Gotta start figuring out my Hobbit Codes...

I suggest Morse Code. Fits with the setting and is just plain cool when it's revealed.

I'm just going to wait until I need to claim a role then pick a random post of mine from the game start and create the code so the post translates into "I am role X".

would like one more.

Added a few roles. Please comment and we'll try to get this started Sunday or Monday (Sorry Chaos).

How does Starbuck work with Tyrol and Anders? I assume that since she dies by protecting a bad cylon she is fine with both at the start but if Tyrol gets switched he then becomes a landmine for her while Anders will be fine the entire time?

ok really really dumb question - but the last three photos, the tramp, lebhen and other person...that is team evil right? the bad cylons...i think thats what you mean, but it aint crystal clear to this tired ass person.

So this is the "You better have finished the series by now - SPOILERS!" version.

Yes! You and I did it as Secret Masons. Sure, you were converted the first night and left me talking to myself the whole game, but I still got you to put in the code.

No Brother Cavil...

Yes - Fixed

Guess you could say that.

Not this time. Wanna try out D'Anna which is the living player scanner compared to Cavil who is the dead person scanner.

When I had a request for Tyrol I came up with a role for him and then started going through the whole cast trying to find unique roles for each. E.g. Saul Tigh, if he is ever used, can declare Martial Law for one turn but I haven't quite worked out the mechanics of how Martial Law would work yet.

If I don't have another player by noonish and no one finds any busted rules or roles, I'll start the random assignments this afternoon. Game will be moved to a fresh thread also.

Who's Marshall? (Psst... Martial Law )

Marshall
Ha! I didn't even catch that and I did it twice.

Isgrimnur wrote:Who's Marshall? (Psst... Martial Law )

I am the Sheriff. I think Timothy Olyphant plays the Marshall.

Do we have anyone that could tell us the difference between a dead bad guy and a dead good guy?

Remus West wrote:Do we have anyone that could tell us the difference between a dead bad guy and a dead good guy?

If the day's lynch target is shown to be a cylon then, if Athena is alive, everyone will learn if a cylon that is killed during the day is a good or bad cylon (not their role though).

If you are talking specific roles then, No.

Doesn't that ruin the Athena as Cylon aspect if we know good/evil as well as Cylon human? One of the neat twists in this game is the Seer not being able to prove themselves because they show up exactly the same as the Bad guys. If we are told good/evil Cylon and then suddenly lynch a Cylon and are not told it gives away Athena's death.

Also, no doctors this time around?

I've been wrestling with that rule. I didn't like it but I was trying to add it to her role so I could try out other roles without having to bring in Apollo. But I've been thinking of removing Anders and adding Apollo back for that reason. or adding Apollos powers to Anders.

No doctors this time because this game is set a few years after the start of the war and everyone one knows about the cylon hybrid threat.

What if Anders knows if the Cylon that dies is good or bad AND when the cylons kill at night, Anders will know if it was a Cylon. Then eliminate his other power or keep it?

The more I think about it, it may be better to have Apollo since he's human. Galen, Anders and Athena are all good cylons (that may be too many) of course Galen could switch sides.

edit: of course with Anders he could nab a fake Athena when she releases her scan list if it doesn't match what he knows...of course he would have to be scanned by her to gain access to the list.

decisions, decisions.

For later-in-the-series Cylon paranoia/detection, how about Gaeta?

Wiki wrote:In college, Gaeta studied genetics, but joined the military to pay for his education. ...he left to become President Baltar's Chief of Staff. ...helping his idol, Doctor Gaius Baltar, design a Cylon detector.... ...he also acts as a spy for the resistance, providing them with information on security, personnel in the New Caprica Police, and radio frequencies.

I had Gaeta and Zarek roles set up for a 3rd traitor side in the future if I ever decided to do that game. Not that I could change Gaeta role in later games, it sure changed in the series.

I'm open to suggestion here though. I like the Anders role (see my edit in the post above yours).

Apollo, Cylon Anders, or another human (Gaeta) with the ability to hunt down Cylon identities like Grund suggested.

ah, good find.
I'll work on that after lunch and I think we may be ready.

Sorry about the edit. I was tabbing back and forth.

I'd like to jump back in.

Welcome back!

Thanks Grund. I just messaged Remus... Life has calmed down and I'm on top of work. You might actually see an active and analytical Bub this time. Bring it on.

I'll be following this from the sidelines, I got a bit burned out on WW from modding FotR.

Nice to see you again, Bub!

*faints*

I think the final rules are in place. Look them over please. I will start random assignments soon.

Yea! Casting is closed.

Time to start thinking up my codes. "I'm the hot one" should cover all the female roles. Now to code the male roles.

Looking at the roles, for those of us that did not watch the entire series, the bad guys are all cylons I assume.

Great! Now I have to read the rules.
