War of Moving Cities Game Thread

Welcome to the War of Moving Cities! PM's will come shortly but I'll get this post up properly first [spoiler=History]History Welcome again to yet another futuristic World, it's the year 4400 and much has changed in world. Us today are know as the ancient ones, the people who had such advanced and amazing technology that filled the whole earth. Constantly archaeologist have been digging up technology and trying to make sense of it. What is a See-Dee and how did it hold information? What they did know however, was that that it all ended very badly for the Ancient Ones, in what is recorded in the history books as "The 60 Minute War". Since then, the world went through another dark age, but humanity survived, but technology didn't. But eventually, people began to figure out this technology. The rules and the physics and began to rebuild the world in a different way. In 4057 London became the first moving city. It was decided that the most sustainable way to live was a way, like a society that had remained constants for thousands of years, like the Eskimos. To fuel these giant cities, London teared apart the country side and towns around it. This caused international panic. Bremen, Hamsterdam, Brighton and Manchester as well as many other cities started building their own moving cities. Over time the fever spread East until news hit the city of Batmunkh Gompa. Batmunkh Gompa was situated in between 2 mountain ranges. The Mayor of Batmunkh Gompa did not agree with moving cities but saw them as a threat. So he built a wall and armoured the wall separating the east from the west. The Tractionists from the Anti-Tractionists. Many years past and food is becoming scarce for the moving cities. Every settlement on the Great Hunting Ground moves. They live by a system called Municipal Darwinism. Big Cities eat the smaller cities, smaller cities eat the even smaller settlements and even smaller settlements eat the static settlements. But food has become scarce and eyes turn towards the east. In the East, a great leader, Stalker Fang has been preparing her army. She calls it the "Green Storm", with the slogan to "Make the World Green Again." 20 years of stalemate pass, Stalker Fang disappears, no-one knows where, some believe her dead, and the city of Manchester has agreed to host "Peace talks". The new Green Storm leader, General Naga, seems far more accommodating for Peace Talks than Stalker Fang. But can there really be a peaceful resolution, with both factions wanting vastly different outcomes? [/spoiler] [size=18px][b]The Daily Traction[/b] Lady Naga has been kidnapped! [/size] She was on tour going to Zagwa, a static city in the south of Africa when terrorists hijacked the plane she was taking and she has gone. What we do know was she was kidnapped over Tractionist territory but no body as of yet has been found. General Naga has reacted strongly to Lady Naga being taken. He blames the Tractionists and declared that peace cannot be achieved until they Lady Naga back and if she was murdered peace won't be possible as long as he lives. The Mayor of Manchester is taking statements from all the traction cities in the area but none said they knew anything to do this and say it was either an isolated incident or a Green Storm plot. All this tension that has suddenly built up over such a short time is a dagger to the hopes of peace. Hopefully we can resolve this matter quickly, we've been at war long enough. Signed by a reliable journalist [spoiler=Game mechanics - Please Read] Winter/Summer system - (to represent timeframes in an actual war. Winter is night, Summer is Day) There will be 2 big teams of 5, Tractionist and Green Storm There will be 3 players vying for peace There will be 3 neutrals is miscellaneous win clauses. [b]Main win clauses[/b] For Tractionists to win, all players aiming for a Green Storm win must die unless specified otherwise For the Green Storm to win all players aiming for a Tractionist win must die unless specified otherwise For peace to win a no lynch or a tie needs to be voted in 2 summers in a row Each player will have 3 win clauses. If a player can achieve all 3 of their wins clauses then they'll be the ultimate winner. If you can only achieve 2 then you might still have a chance of winning either in your team or if nobody left alive has completed all 3 win clauses Some of the information in your role PM is really important. Be very careful who you share with. Names are also important. For example someone might have a specific win condition of killing a specific player. [b]Resurrection[/b] You are likely (especially at the beginning of the game) to be resurrected when you die to become a Stalker. You will have new abilities. Your win clause may or may not change. That will remain unclear. Role Pm's may change slightly for balance. The 16th member screwed me up a little, but I hope what I've add doesn't break the game too much [/spoiler] [spoiler=Money and Coin Usage]Every Winter you will be given 6 coins from me. A vote costs 2 coins To open a private chat with someone costs 1 coin (tell me who you want to have a chat with in Winter and I’ll open it up for Summer) You can add as many alive players/ stalkers to this chat as you want. Bid for multiple services (in Winter phase) (like the Slave Trade/ Stalker Trade/Assassin) and the highest bid will be taken (in the majority of cases). If you ever find yourself having spent more coins than you own then for every coin you are in debt, the treasury will put that many votes on you. Most players will automatically put all remaining coins they have left over into their voting. (you can’t save money in war). Business owners will be able to choose how much money they wish to spend on votes. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Slave Mechanics]You will be given the option to bid for Slaves in this game. You may become Enslaved yourself. All this means is 1. I'll open a chat between the 2 players 2. The master will choose who the enslaved player targets for their Winter/Summer actions 3. The Slave still has freedom of who to vote for, how to spend money (but can't buy a slave as a slave) and freedom of chat. They do not have to give up their role PM and anyone who tells you that you must is trying to deceive you. You can become free from your master if they choose to Release you (any phase), if they die or if an action allows you to be freed Got no idea if this will even work or be popular but we've got a Stalker alternative [/spoiler] [spoiler=Stalker Mechanics]When a Stalker has been bought he is allowed to chat in the forum once again. Stalkers work best in teams. When a Stalker is owned he will always obey his master. If 1 Stalker targets someone, they will defend that player If 2 Stalkers target someone, the Stalkers will kill that player (whether alive or Stalker) If 3 Stalkers target someone, they will convert that player into another Stalker. Stalkers get given no money so cannot vote or bid or open chat rooms alive players will have to invite them in If a Stalker's master release's them or dies then the Stalker becomes a free Stalker and has free reign to choose their actions [/spoiler] [spoiler=Basic Rules + Game specific rules, please review]Rules: -You must do your best to help YOUR faction win. -All forms of outside communication on this site to be created by the moderator -Do not post after you die (and hasn't been resurrected as a stalker.) -Do not post in the game thread if you aren't in the game. -Please do not edit posts. -Votes take this format: [b]Lynch USER[/b] [b](in Bold please)[/b] -Take your Actions in the Pm's [b]In Bold[/b] -No bribing the moderators or other players -The moderator is always right. If there is an issue, respectfully bring it to their attention, but do not argue it. -No ScreenShots [/spoiler] I'm adding this outside the spoiler because I'm adding a rule of No Copying and Pasting Role Pm's. I wrote 3600 words for all the Role PM's combined for all the role PM's so I think they are pretty hard to fabricate. But what you can do is rewrite the PM in your own words. This includes Actions, Win Conditions and info [spoiler=Potential Characters - Names don't fit the actual story but most are based off actual characters] 1. General Naga (Green Storm Leader) 2.

First to post. Not Inactive!

well - it seems that hood has made a preemptive strike already. i will certainly be trying to gain allies but think we should wait until the game actually starts and roles are assigned. however - since role claims can not be trusted - i will [u]not[/u] be initially be looking for members of my faction but just a small group to huddle in the corner with that might provide some group protection from hood and his bloodthirsty gang - remember - there is safety in numbers. a chat group to help sort out the mechanics of this game would be nice and maybe share plans on buying things so as to avoid a bidding war. since hood seems to be already on the rampage = i think we should keep the members of our group private for the first few phases until we can actually find some of the members of our own faction to work with. beware of joining hoods gang - many can testify to the double dealings of hood. if allowed - i will send out a chat invite to all soon.

well the posted game mechanics kinda changes my chat plans - i will not be sending a chat invite to everyone. just tell me here if you want an invite [b]mada[/b] - does the chat cost 1 coin per player invited or 1 coin for the chat room from the player who initiated the chat room or 1 coin from each player who joins?

The Chat rooms cost 1 coin per room. So a 3 person room costs the same as a 2 person room. You have to tell me in the Winter phase who you want to chat to in the Summer Phase

Unfortunately, it is 2:15PM right now and I'm super tired. I really don't want to get anything wrong in the Role PM's so I'll leave that till tomoz. Really sorry, but I need to sleep. I have a really busy day so I probably won’t get around to it till 10pm tomoz. Which is fine cause I wouldn’t be answering your questions in that time anyway, I would’ve just had an extra long deadline

What is the server clock dead line ?
