How people have played in the past is fair game. Mentioning when they have been online is OK. (View it as the village noticing Bob is not joining them at the table to discuss the events but Larry saw him peeking out his window).
No quoting of PMs or posts from other forums. No links to other forums. Talking about what was discussed in PMs or other forums is OK.
20 players.
16 good with two capable of changing sides. 4 bad plus 2 that may come over to their side.
I will set up a forum for the Specialists and Cylons to chat. Six and Baltar chats will be done through PM (unless Six or Baltar wants to set up their own forum).
Baltar –Each night he may ask if a particular player is Six.
“Is player X six?” He will receive a yes or no answer.
If he finds Six then he will defect to the cylon side and be able to PM with Six only for the remainder of the game as long as Six is still alive.
Baltar CANNOT PM the other cylons. (So if the bad guys choose to set up their own forum Baltar cannot have access to it). If the 3 specialists die and Baltar is still on the good side he will take over the identification of Cylons.(There will be one night of no autopsies between the specialists death and Baltar taking over).
It is not Baltar’s nature to announce who he is but the role may be played as the player chooses.
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.
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. Exception: cylon #10, that has not been converted, will not know they have been scanned. Athena will know they are inactive and will be capable of one more extra scan. Athena will also know when #10 is converted anytime during the game but only if she had used her extra scan on #10.
If she finds #7 during her extra scan she will also know if he has planted a bomb and in who's cabin. She will go disarm the bomb.
Helo-He has a one time ability to kill during the day cycle.
Apollo –He can ask the role of a deceased player each night.
“What was the role of dead player X?” He may ask about a cylon lynched also to determine if one was Athena but he will not learn the roles of the bad cylons.. May escape #7's bomb (See Cylon #7)
Starbuck – She can protect one person per night. If she protects a bad cylon (not Athena or unconverted #10). 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. Protecting Baltar causes her no harm even if he has switched sides, he's a wimp. She also may escape Cylon #7's bomb (see Cylon #7). She will know if she protects someone.
If Baltar is the last bad guy alive and Starbuck protects the player he is attempting to assassinate she will catch him and execute him on the spot ending the game.
Tory Foster - can find Baltar when having a conversation with him. Tory has a chance each day of identifying Baltar through casual conversation. Tory will PM the moderator her target for conversation and moderator will let Tory know if she learned anything. Tory does not PM her target, she PMs the moderator only. (First 2 days she gets 2 scans each).
3 Specialists - as long as one is alive you will be able to tell who was a cylon and who was not when lynched (or killed by Helo). If all the specialists are killed and Baltar is dead or joined the cylons then you will be lynching blind. May PM each other at any time.
Also has a one time ability to try and detect a cylon during the day before a lynch but will be revealed as a specialist. One time power can be used by only one specialist. Results of scan will be released immediately to the public.
7 Citizens – No Powers other than voting.
================
Cylon #10 - 1 crew is a hidden Cylon (does not know they are cylon) if in the search for Baltar they find hidden cylon#10 then cylon is activated and have access to other cylons (#7 if contacted) and the search for Baltar stops. But Baltar may continue to search for six. If six is dead then the other cylons may continue the search for #10. Cylon #10 will scan as cylon by Athena at all times. Cylon #10 counts as good as long as unconverted. (Athena and Baltar cannot be #10). #10 loses any special abilities of the character he/she was before activation.
---- cylons
Cylon #7 –Daniel-The cylons do not know you are a cylon. You know the other cylons. If cylons attack #7 at night, cylons will be informed they found Cylon #7 and will be able to PM with #7 for the remainder of the game. #7 may also plant a bomb in one crew members cabin on any day. (May only be done once). He may detonate it any night after the night he plants the bomb.
If bomb is planted in Starbucks cabin she will not be killed if she is out protecting someone else that night. If planted in Apollo's cabin, he will not be killed if he is out investigating a dead players role.(Starbuck or Apollo will know it was their room that was targeted)
If the bomb detonates against the same player the Cylons are trying to kill there will be only one death. The Cylons will kill the player and #7 will then blow up the corpse.
If Six, Cavil and Leoben and #10 (if converted) are killed before finding Cylon #7 then Cylon #7 takes over the role of choosing the nightly targets (scanning for #10 and the kill). #7 would get access to any Cylon forum and/or results from all the Cylons previous moves through a memory dump from the resurrection ship. If Baltar has switched sides and is still alive #7 still gets to choose the nightly victim. Baltar only chooses if he is the only one remaining.
Brother Cavil – He can ask the role of a dead human each night (same powers as Apollo).
Six –Each night she will be able to ask if a particular player is Baltar. “Is player X Baltar?” She will receive a yes or no answer. She gets 3 scans on the first night. 2 scans on the second night and one scan thereafter.
If she finds Baltar then Baltar defects to the cylon side and they are able to PM each other only for the remainder game as long as they live.
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 at anytime during the game psychically interrupt Starbucks protection (prevent her from protecting one night) even if he has not found out her identity.
There will be a kill if #7 is found.
Private Messaging
Six, Leoben and Cavil can PM each other all the time.
Cylon #7 or #10 may start PM all other cylons (except Athena) when the cylons make contact. (#7 through assassination attempt, #10 through contact)
Baltar and Six may PM each other only when one of them makes contact.
Baltar may not have access to a cylon forum even if he joins them.
-------------------------
Each night the specials will submit their requests even if they choose to do nothing it must be submitted. The cylons (only the ones allowed to PM each other) must assassinate.
Possible Outcome of Events
-Lynching – Player was human or cylon (Athena is included as Cylon).
-Athena scan – Player X is human or cylon. (Baltar is human even if he has defected but she will sense that he is helping the cylons) #10 will always scan cylon.
-Apollo scan- Player X was character X and had the power to…
-Six/Baltar scan – Player X is not Six/Baltar
-Cavil scan-player X was character X and had the power to…
-Leoben scan-player X is or is not Starbuck
Nighttime scenarios-
-Leoben may choose to interrupt Starbucks protect
-Starbuck protects a cylon (except Baltar , Athena, unconverted #10). Starbuck dies . Cylons assassination attempt is called off. 1 death that night.
-Starbuck protects player X and cylons attempt to assassinate player X. No deaths that night.
-Cylons attempt to assassinate Cylon #7. Assassination halted and #7, Six and Cavil are told what happened. Alternate target is then killed.
-Six or Baltar find each other, Six finds #10: Assassination will not be stopped. The humans will somehow know the next day that they have a traitor in their midst though if Baltar. Will not know if #10 was converted.
-#7 detonates bomb any night of his choice after planting the bomb.
Daytime Scenario
-Athena scans known cylon if power still available
-#7 plants a bomb in cabin
-Tory Foster talks to crewmember
-Helo may shoot
-specialist may scan a crew member

Answers to all scans will be given immediately before the next day starts.
Lynching votes: Voting is open until a majority is reached.
Please use Player name

No editing Posts. (exception: If some one is posting a vote count then that post may be edited)
Everyone will receive a PM to start the game.
Victory
Humans win by killing all the Cylons (except Athena)and Baltar and/or Cylon #10 if they have switched sides.
Cylons win by killing enough humans to make the sides even thus ensuring a cylon victory.(Athena counts toward humans. #10 counts toward humans if unconverted).
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
Unagi 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.
