WHAT IS 'THE PROTOMEN'?

Spoiler:

No one was left who could remember how it had happened,
How the world had fallen under darkness.
At least no one who would do anything.
No one who would oppose the robots.
No one who would challenge their power,
Or so Dr. Wily believed...

The Protomen is an American rock band that is known for their concept albums and rock operas loosely based on the Megaman universe. While originally a college project, the band has become a cult classic and still regularly tours the United States to this day. The story that they weave presents the world of Megaman as a dystopia of humans who are fighting against the control of robot masters. The story is largely split between multiple albums presented as different 'Acts' in the story--Act I presents humanity as forsaken and cowed to their rulers and robot enforcers, with Megaman as a tragic hero trying to save a people who are not deserving; Act II brings us back to the sparks that started this entire dystopic conflict by showing us the story of two brilliant scientists who create a robotic labor force but disagree how to implement this new technology; finally, the album 'The Cover Up,' despite being a cover album, still presents an arrangement of songs with slight changes that speaks towards the corruption that lead to the future present in Act I. Altogether, these albums present a compelling retelling of the Megaman story that grapples with the nature of tragic heroes and humanity enslaved.

The goal of this Mafia game is to reproduce the same tensions built within the narrative of The Protomen's albums. My hope is that my love for this music will translate to a flavorful setup that pits players into a conflict where they are not sure who to side with, where control and fear are major factors influencing the majority of players. Ultimately, I want people to have a fun time playing a non-normal setup while getting to be a part of a musical universe that I've come to love and am proud to share with others via Mafia.

WHAT IS A 'VARSOON GAME'? WHAT SORT OF GAME SHOULD I EXPECT HERE?

Spoiler:

Protomen Mafia is a 13 player blitz game with a non-normal setup. Days will be 72 hours, nights will last 24 hours. Notably, by default, town will have multiple win conditions and the non-town factions will do what they can to influence town to play one way or another. My previous game, Final Fantasy Tactics Mafia, was a fairly complex setup--I'm hoping that I can present a simpler, yet still engaging and non-normal theme setup. Flavor knowledge is encouraged, though not necessary to play and compete in this setup.

As a moderator with a deep passion for rhetoric, expect a game with mechanics that will always supplement the rhetoric of the game rather than the usual sort of roles that are supplemented by rhetoric. My games are typical Role Madness games--I like to give every player some sort of unique 'something' to play with in tandem with the actual game. I try to include very engaging public mechanics in order to retain player interest, which can be a difficult thing to do in the Large games that I like to run. Do not expect many, if any, 'vanilla' roles here.

'Varsoon Games' are typically characterized by heavy flavor, high quality moderation, and unpredictable yet satisfying mechanics. I am very cognizant of my moderator meta and I constantly keep even seasoned fans on their toes. I have achieved a Master's Degree in writing Fiction; I enjoy writing involved flavor that reflects the sensibilities of players and the game state while not revealing anything that would give a mechanical advantage. I also take Mafia very seriously; I spend over 8 hours a day with access to the site, always with a tab open, refreshing my games, re-reading them, and so on--even when I worked full time and went to college, I accomplished this endeavor. For me, Mafia is a labor of love and a full-time job. I want to deliver the quality experience that I came to love on this site. My games, hopefully, represent that.

As far as moderation goes, I see online Mafia moderation the same way I do moderating a face-to-face game with my friends. I am here to ensure all of my friends and guests have a fun time playing a game we all enjoy. That said, Mafia does get intense. Mafia is psychological. Mafia can feature very aggressive rhetoric. We lynch people here. I love those aspects of the game, and I want them to be in a game, although they will always run risk of ruining the experience for some players. I am far less draconic in my moderation than other moderators. I will always err on the side of the player. That said, I have no patience for players who do break the rules. Do not play my game if you are habitually in trouble with moderators and other players. I'll do everything I can to keep you in-game and having a fun time, but if you cross the line and it's clear you intentionally broke a rule, I will have no mercy in my judgment.

I do not enforce Blacklists, Wisdom of the Crowds, Wisdom of the One, or any similar requests to prohibit players from playing. The only players not welcome in my games are banned players. Do not ask me to prohibit a player from joining for personal reasons; I will never do so unless they currently have a ban or restriction. Everyone is welcome at my table. If you have a personal problem with a player, come to a happy agreement with them before creating drama in my signup thread or in my game. If you absolutely can't play with someone else, do not sign up for a game of mine if they are in the player list. If you do, I will allow you in, but don't think I'm going to shunt the other player because of your personal issues. I want everyone to get together and have fun here. I fully support even bitter rivals playing at the same table and learning to overcome their own differences in order to have fun with something we all enjoy.

WHERE/HOW DO I SIGN UP? (CURRENT PRE-INS: 6/6):

Spoiler:

This game is being run as a part of the November Blitz Month in the Mini Theme Queue. This means that signups will not open until November 1st. Sign up in the Mini Theme Queue once the game is posted there! I am allowed up to 6 Pre-ins, so please PM me as soon as possible, as these do go fast.

PUBLIC MECHANICS APPEARING IN PROTOMEN MAFIA:

"THE MAN WHO TURNS THE WHEELS, THEY WILL FOLLOW; ANYWHERE HE LEADS"

Spoiler:

In this game, there are three factions confirmed to be a part of the setup.
These factions are

The State

,

The Dead

, and

The Father of Death

.

The Dead

is the default uninformed majority faction, typically referred to as 'Town'. The default win-condition of

The Dead

has two possibilities for achieving a win:

The Dead

will win the game if all players that are a part of

The Father of Death

faction are dead and at least six total players of any faction are still alive.

The Dead

will win the game if all players that are a part of

The State

faction are dead and at least two members of

The Dead

faction are still alive.

The Dead

will lose the game if they ever have only one member left alive at any given time.

"WE'VE GIVEN EVERYTHING WE CAN; THERE ARE NO HEROES LEFT IN MAN"

Spoiler:

In order to avoid players from gaming the flavor of this setup, every player will be given a default 'Citizen' Role PM. Members of

The Dead

will not know their true identity until they are dead.
While roles will still have unique mechanical abilities, their unique flavor will not be revealed until being flipped upon death in the game thread.

[*] The game has been reviewed, play-tested, and approved by numerous veteran moderators and players on another site. It is considered fun, fair, and swingy, and that is how I like it. I think this game allows for the best players to win and, I hope, everyone to have fun!

Please note that as reviewer I don't think this game is balanced in the traditional sense; I think it is about as balanced as a drealmer game can be. I would encourage players to be prepared for a very drealmerz7 experience.

MAGICAL☆GIRLS☆UPICK II

(Not as confusing as last ad now)

13-players UPick coming to mini theme eventually!

QnA

Q1. So what's this different special mechanics you mentioned about?

A1. I'm glad you asked again.

• Transformation!
  • All players will start as non-transformed version of the character they chose. A girl can only transform during the night to use their ability, or activate their day ability for next day. Transforming costs a different amount of magic points explained below. Only a transformed girl will be able to use her power and at the end of the night, there will be a public message about how many girls have transformed during the night.
• Gauge of magic
  • At the start of each night the gauge of magic is refilled and can support up to half of the alive players+1 transformations. If more magic points are spent than the gauge can allow, the gauge will overflow and break for the next phase, and no players will be able to transform the following night.

Q2. What's the criteria of the "magical girls?"

A2. Here we go, again.

1. The character must be able to transform.
   • Come on man, that's like, the basis of magical girl. That's what separates the magical girl from a witch. And no not the Otto Pon whoever that one of the girl corrupts into kind of witch. The magic using ladies witch. Magical girls are to be admired upon, witches should burn with a stake.
2. The character must be able to gain power upon transformation.
   • That means, no, Robby Rotton, despite the awesome "transformation" with costume, can not be a magical girl.
3. Must be a girl.
   • Man this is given. I know how wild y'all can be, but no, power ranger red is not a magical girl.
     *There may be exceptions in cases-by-cases.
4. Must be a "human".
   • I put the quotation marks here because Sailor Moon is not actually a human but close enough. Someone like Nyaruko, no. She looks like a girl, she can transform, she fights evil, but she's a nyanfkvowhcjaj of whatever cthulhu legend monster thing.

Q3. I want to play this game but I have no idea about magical girls. Can you give me a recommendation?

Hello, guys. It's Tatsuya here at my Open House. It has been almost two years that I have been here and I have recieved a lot of beautiful moments. Thank you everyone. I have done many Anime U-Picks till now. Some of them are extremely fun, some of them might be a little bit too crazy, but at least it has been a great time. Now, I am proud to announce. Anime U-Pick will be back once again, but this time, it will be bigger, badder, bolder and crazier than ever before. Because... (hits button)

Hi everyone. I am being all "mathy" and trying to build an improved VC system for you guys that I eventually have plans to do other amazing things (TBD) with later.

I have a micro in signups and my Open should be next.

Both are vanilla games so easy to understand mechanics.

I would love people to sign up and play

Please play as you normally would so I can test it.

If you're tired of long nights / lulls in play these games are for you!

[fferyllt]

Coming soon to the Micro Queue!

Setup: Micro Theme
# Players: 9
Moderator: fferyllt
Reviewer: Empire, Nachomamma8
Flavor: Game will be based on the Voyager Tarot. The game will feature some tarot-inspired mechanics, but no alignment changes.

The Voyager Tarot deck by James Wanless and Ken Knutson is a distant descendant of the Ryder Waite deck, so you can use R-W meanings to select your card picks. If you have any questions (or if I know your card has unique or idiosyncratic meanings or symbolism in the Voyager deck), we can discuss when you're ready to make your card picks.

Links to R-W meanings for

Major Arcana: http://www.tarot-card.net/majorarcana.htm
Court Cards: http://www.tarot-card.net/courtcards.htm
Minor Arcana: http://www.tarot-card.net/minorarcana.htm

The interpretations I'll use for the game are not entirely R-W standard, but more of an amalgam of R-W, Thoth and a few other sources.

Choose three cards, ranked in your preference order. When the game goes into sign-ups, I'll provide photos of all the cards to help with your selections.

Pre-in's accepted (5 max), Hydrae welcome.

Original Tarot uPick micro game is here.

I also ran a Large Theme Tarot uPick, but this game will probably be more similar to the micro than the large theme.

What "adolescence" do you have?
This will remind you have to recollect "adolescence"
Do you remember "Childhood"?
The irreplacable one that exisited.

I'm modding another game, this time coming to the mini-theme queue!
There are a few details you need to know about this game.
A. There will be events! These are fun mish-mashy type games that will happen during the day and you get to win prizes! One game being featured is Clue.
B. It is a hidden alt, role madness game.

C. It will be played with the Geriatric Players Club's ruleset and posting guidelines, which you can find here. I will also be WOTM people who I find will not be able to adapt to the ruleset.

Its a rolemadness game (because when are my games not), so pm me for pre-ins! (2/6 filled)

Coming Soon: a 14 player large theme morphgame run in 2014 style based upon "The Deathworlders"

" See, they have this planetary classification system for temperate worlds like ours.” Jenkins said amiably, as on the screen one of the players hauled himself back up onto his skates, clearly a bit winded but otherwise no worse than if he’d taken a hard body-check from one of the Arizonan players.
“Category one is, like, the Garden of Eden. You could drop any species in the galaxy down there completely buck bare and they’d be happy as Larry for the rest of their lives.” he continued, as Canucks and Coyotes players helped one another to their feet. Alien though their body language was, everybody could see the alarm and surprise the Hunters were feeling as every single one of the humans they had shot turned out to be not only alive, but angry.

“Most planets are like, a four to six or so. You don’t want to get caught in the rain and you’ll need to work for your food, but generally it’s pretty easy living on those worlds.”
The aliens fired again, punching the players off their feet again.

“Anything above Class ten is considered a deathworld.” Jenkins continued as, yet again, the players got back up, and this time they started skating around the invading aliens, which formed a defensive corral and began to fire wildly at the circling sportsmen. It quickly became apparent that their reflexes and aim were remarkably sluggish and that the circling skaters were just too fast to hit. Shot after shot splashed harmlessly on the plexiglass.

At first, the people behind the barrier cowered, but that plexiglass was rated to a much, MUCH higher resilience than even the heaviest Kinetic Pulse fire. It didn’t take long for the cowering fans to realise this, and begin to chant: “Kick their ass! Kick their ass!”

Kevin Jenkins opened a beer for himself.
“Earth,” he said, with vicious satisfaction. “Is a Class Twelve.”

[momo]

Coming soon: A Game unlike any this site has ever seen before; Ghost Mafia

Hold up y'all. I know what you're thinking. But momo!, we already have played games with anonymous alts.

This is not that.

This will be a 13 player game run in the mini theme queue in which you can't vote publicly.

By this I mean, after 75 posts (average duration of rvs) (including moderator opening posts and vote counts) you will not be able to publicly vote. Scumhunting is allowed but you can not in anyway indicate who you are going to vote. You can point out someone is scummy, but never outright say you are going to vote them. (Except if you are mafia in the scum pt of course).

Vote will be done in an individual private topic where all you are allowed to do is naked vote.

Votecounts will show how many votes each player has but not who is voting for them.

This will be a crazy game but don't worry, it is balanced.

Let's bring a new type of game to this site. Welcome, to a ghost!game.

Now accepting pre-ins!

[FakeGod]

In the northern city of Bergen, there lived a duke with three beautiful daughters.

One day, a masked man appeared before the duke with a warning: that night, when the sun set,

the Troll – Giant of the Forest – would assail Bergen and carry off the duke’s daughters.

[drealmerz7]

coming mid to late January to the Large Theme queue

I generally severely dislike cult games. I think they tend to be unfair, frustrating, futile, and ultimately unenjoyable most of the time. I've made this game in an attempt to make a cult game I think is fair, unique, exciting, and very enjoyable for all. It's a game I would love to play myself and am looking forward to modding it.

game-specific rules and mechanics:

CULT

-

Rocky Horror Picture Show

is a cult movie and this will be a cult game based on that movie. It shouldn't be any other way!

publicly known cult mechanics:

• There are two cults / 2 cult leaders. Once recruited into a cult a player's alignment can not change again.
  
• All players except the cult leaders start as part of a neutral survivor faction.
  
• Not all roles are cult-recruitable. Most players will not know if their role is cult-recruitable unless recruited.
  
• Players will use their vote to choose who to make immune to recruiting. This can be done x# times during the game, a maximum of once per play/pause cycle - (instead of lynching - there is no lynching) !

DAYLESS

- it is always Night over at the Frankenstein Place. The game thread is always open.

PLAY

PAUSE

- the game cycles between these two states

  - players may submit actions and vote, actions are queued until PAUSE
