Re: Starship R. Scott III - Sign ups in progress
Proposed Rulez - Open to suggestions
Roles:
Humans:
Marine Guard (2)
The Marine Guard has been hired to work at Corrections Station 22 for the next 5 Terran years. You are unarmed however you do possess a single-use (once per game) pocket incinerator gun which can be used to kill any player even if in cryo lockdown. Only one marine guard can do this per day.
Engineer (2)
The Engineer is employed by Divergent Corp. to perform maintenance activities at Corrections Station 22 and also has maintenance experience with cryo pods. Once per day period, the Engineer may secretly (by sending a PM to the moderator) disengage a locked down cryo pod freeing it's occupant.
Computer Hacker (1)
The Computer Hacker is a criminal being sent for imprisonment by Divergent Corp. to Corrections Station 22 for hacking their network. The Computer Hacker can decrypt a single cryo pod medical report from main computer once per Course Correction. The medical report will reveal if that player is a role, host human, symbiont or alien. The decrypted medical report will be sent to CICP Communications for everyone to read. The Computer Hacker will not be revealed when performing this power. The Computer Hacker wants to survive but also wants to take control of the ship and escape. The Computer Hacker must perform a scan each course correction. If no response is received by the deadline, random.org will choose the scan target.
Convict (5)
The Convict is a criminal being sent for imprisonment by Divergent Corp. to Corrections Station 22 for various crimes. The convict wants to survive but also wants to take control of the ship and escape.
Divergent Corp.
Symbiont
The Symbiont is an artificial human being but very real looking. The Symbiont has orders from Divergent Corp. to secure an alien organism sample in a locked down cryo pod. All other personnel aboard are expendable. The Symbiont must ensure that least one alien player is locked down in a cryo pod at the end of the 6th course corrections. The Symbiont can engage a cryo pod's lockdown mode once per each course correction. The Symbiont is immune to an alien attack or implant attempt and will live through the encounter but will not learn the identity of his attacker. The alien will lost the egg in the implant attempt.
Alien Organism
Alien Organism
The Alien Organism has to ability to kill or implant an alien egg in human beings turning them into hosts. The alien player only has two eggs. However, the process is time consuming and can only be performed during the course correction when the humans are incapacitated in their cryo pods. The alien organism can not attack players in a locked down cryo pod.
NEW RULE: The alien organism can choose to send a tweet at the beginning of each day. The tweet will be delivered by the main computer (moderator). The tweet will not identify who the alien organism is.
Host Humans
Host humans will be unaware they carry an egg inside them.
Role Cliff Notes:
Humans
- Marine Guard01 (pocket incinerator gun - one shot - During Day)
- Marine Guard02 (pocket incinerator gun - one shot - During Day)
- Engineer01 (can disengage a cryo pod's lockdown mode)
- Engineer02 (can disengage a cryo pod's lockdown mode)
- Computer Hacker (Can decrypt cryo pod medical report (reveals role, host human, symbiont or alien) from main computer once per Course Correction)
- Convict01
- Convict02
- Convict03
- Convict04
- Convict05
Divergent Corp.

- Host Human (unaware they carry an egg inside them)
Victory Conditions
Human Victory: Alien organism is destroyed and all human hosts are destroyed before arriving at Earth in 6 course corrections.
Human Sub-Victory A - Marine Guards and Engineer: When the overall human victory is achieved, Marine Guard, Engineer, and Symbiont are equal to or out number the Computer Hacker and Convicts.
Human Sub-Victory B - Computer Hacker and Convicts: When the overall human victory is achieved, Computer Hacker and Convicts out number the Marine Guard, Engineer, and Symbiont.
Alien Victory: Alien organism wins if it and/or a human host is alive and not locked down in its cryo pod when the STARSHIP arrives at earth.
Divergent Corp Victory: The alien organism and/or at least one host human is locked down in its cryo pod at the end of 6 course corrections. The Symbiont does not need to be alive to win.

The game begins with a Course Correction (night) and players will be in their cryo pods.
Days and Course Corrections:
During course corrections, players must enter to their cryo pods to service the ship's accelerations and de-accelerations. The Symbiont and Alien players are immune to Course corrections and may leave their cryo pods according their specific role rulez.
Cryo Pod Lockdown:
Players who's cryo pod was locked down may not post or vote in the main game thread and are considered in stasis. However, the player's cryo pod may be disengaged by the engineer so please pay attention to the game. Players who are locked down in a cryo pod may be voted for. The alien organism may NOT attempt to implant a egg into a player that has been locked down in his cryo pod. The guards MAY use their one shot incinerator guns to kill a player who is locked down in their cryo pod.

Re: Starship R. Scott III - Sign ups in progress
The rulez have been adjusted since the last time. No longer are their alien conversions. Instead the Alien can implant an egg (infact) a human making them an unknown human host however he can only do it twice and if he tries to implant the symbiont he loses that egg. Alien can also just kill a player also.
So, there will be no baddie forum in this game.
There are still only 6 days/nights. I'd love to hear feedback.

Re: Starship R. Scott III - Sign ups in progress
They have no idea they are infected. They continue to try to meet their team's victory condition. There is no cure so if they find out they are infected (through the hacker's scan) then for the good of humanity that can choose to self-vote.Archinerd wrote:What do the alien hosts do after they are converted, just try to survive and help mommy?

Re: Starship R. Scott III - Sign ups in progress
This game style looks great. But I'm new to it, so here's my first newbie question:
How does the symbiont have the slightest idea who is the alien or who has become a host? Without any knowledge, is he just locking down via solitary player's intuition?

He has no tools for determining who is the alien other than people's reactions. But remember his goal is to lock down a alien or host by the time the shop reaches earth.

Re: Starship R. Scott III - Sign ups in progress
How do the day actions play out?
Do the marines and engineers all PM you before we get any results from you (all simultaneously), or do you report events as you receive them?
For example, if the day starts with a marine locked in a pod, if an engineer unlocks the pod, does the marine get a chance to use his kill that same day?
If the two marines burn each other simultaneously, who dies?

How often can the Engineer unlock cry pods? I'm reading it as once per day.

Re: Starship R. Scott III - Two spots left!!
So let me talk about what drama I want from this game.
I want the tension between the two human groups to grow as they grasp with wanting to have the majority when the alien/hosts are eliminated. Lack of information can lead to paranoia but it can also lead to frustration.
I don't want the alien to ever feel comfortable since he is by himself with no hope for support. He just wants to lay his eggs and lay low.
They symbiont wants to keep at least one alien/host alive so he will be locking down who he thinks is acting like an alien or who is causing him trouble. The symbiont can lock down players and can control the dynamic of the convicts vs the humans.
Remember that locked down players can not post/vote and do not count towards victory totals.
And remember when the game starts the humans are unaware who are guards or convicts. This is where the initial tension needs to arise. The convicts need to guards but don't want them to get the upper can.
I want the tension between the two human groups to grow as they grasp with wanting to have the majority when the alien/hosts are eliminated. Lack of information can lead to paranoia but it can also lead to frustration.
I don't want the alien to ever feel comfortable since he is by himself with no hope for support. He just wants to lay his eggs and lay low.

Re: Starship R. Scott III - Two spots left!!
Since the hacker/seer's info is always public and can't be skipped or withheld, does the first day with no report mean the hacker is dead, or does Random.org continue to provide scans?

Re: Starship R. Scott III - Two spots left!!
Very cool. I think with several factions there is less need for rigid balancing, players will try to sort that out (are you more afraid of the Alien currently than of the convicts, for example).

Marine Guard (2)
The Marine Guard has been hired to work at Corrections Station 22 for the next 5 Terran years. You are unarmed however you do possess a single-use pocket incinerator gun which once per day can be used to kill any player even if in cryo lockdown.
Is that supposed to read once per game?

That's no reason to cry. One cries because one is sad. For example, I cry because others are stupid, and that makes me sad.

Also I enjoy how they're described as unarmed, however they do have a lethal gun.

Re: Starship R. Scott III - Game Full
So the marines (between them) get one kill a day?
Seems like there will be a race to post the kill order every morning.

Re: Starship R. Scott III - Game Full
New Rule:
Alien Organism
The Alien Organism has to ability to kill or implant an alien egg in human beings turning them into hosts. The alien player only has two eggs. However, the process is time consuming and can only be performed during the course correction when the humans are incapacitated in their cryo pods. The alien organism can not attack players in a locked down cryo pod.
NEW RULE: The alien organism can choose to send a tweet at the beginning of each day. The tweet will be delivered by the main computer (moderator). The tweet will not identify who the alien organism is.

Does anyone else gets to send a tweet through the moderator? Or is it just for Alien gloating?
