Hello! I am your
faceless fearless leader. Welcome to the Driller secret society. We are among the few clear-headed groups of thinkers able to see what the Filibian empire really is about. Sure, Emperor Sugarcane talks about spreading love and good will, but all we're really getting is bread and circuses! There's no actual free will or ability to move up in this world we live in and this needs to change!
Which is where we come in. The nine of you are capable individuals and I have the plan necessary to take the empire apart piece by piece. We don't even have to execute it perfectly for it to succeed, which is great because my resources indicate that there's been some foul play within societies as of late. I've tried to run background checks against all of you, but the last people I sent out to do research were sent back to me with shapened candy canes protruding from their spines. Luckily, one of them was alive enough to give me this juicy nougat:
THREE OF YOU ARE SPIES. And then he promptly died.
Which three of you are traitors to the cause, I can't even begin to guess, but since I can't afford to have you killing one another to figure it out, I will ask that you figure it out rationally like adults. Do you understand? I'm assuming you're nodding at me; if not please rectify this immediately.
Great! I have sent a document explaining the basic structure of my plan and how I would like you all to carry this out. Follow it carefully! I will give you more details on each mission as they come up. Good luck operatives!
RULESEach round will consist of a team building phase, a voting phase, and possibly a mission phase.
Team Building Phase:Every round one player will be the leader. Here is the randomly generated leader order:
1.) TheEvilDog
2.) Black Sword
3.) henri bemis
4.) Gareth
5.) TRVA123
6.) de_la_Nae
7.) dr. nervioso
8.) Unicorn
9.) riccostar
When it is your turn to be leader, you will choose who goes on the current mission. The leader may choose him or herself to be one of the team members. The following indicates how many people are needed to be on each mission:
Mission 1: Gareth, henri bemis, Unicorn - SUCCESS
Mission 2: Gareth, Unicorn, TRVA123, de_la_Nae - FAILURE
Mission 3: Unicorn, henri bemis, riccostar, de_la_Nae - FAILURE
Mission 4: 5 person team
Mission 5: 5 person team
The leader will, in a
colored, bold font, indicate who they propose to send on the mission. If it's not in this font, it will be assumed that you are throwing a suggestion out there for feedback and not actually submitting it for a vote.
Voting Phase:Once the proposed team is submitted for voting, everyone will submit to me via a PM whether they APPROVE or DISAPPROVE the suggested team.
If any spies were selected to be on the mission they will also submit whether they will be choosing to SUPPORT or SABOTAGE. Once ALL the votes are in, I will simultaneously reveal who voted APPROVE or DISAPPROVE. So remember, this vote WILL be revealed and you WILL have to own up to it if confronted about it. You can say in the thread that you would approve a certain team but then disapprove it via PM or vice versa, just remember some people may or may not look unfavorably at that.
If the majority of people support the team, then the mission will continue with the suggested team.
If it's a tie or the majority oppose the suggested team, then the round is over and the next one starts. The next leader will try to arrange a new team for the same mission.
Mission Phase:If a team has been approved, then the number of SUPPORTS and SABOTAGES will be anonymously revealed. If the mission is disapproved, any SUPPORTS or SABOTAGE PMs from spies will be ignored and the next round begins.In missions 1, 2, 3, and 5, the mission succeeds if no sabotage has been committed. They fail if even one sabotage has been revealed. Mission 4 is special and much more foolproof. It requires TWO sabotages to fail.
There are three spies and six operatives. The spies have been notified of their status. If you received no notification you are a driller operative.
Win/Lose Conditions:The resistance faction wins as soon as there are three successful missions.
The spy faction wins as soon as there are three failed missions.
The spy faction also wins if there are five consecutive mission teams that do not get approved (the resistance does not trust one another enough to get organized and the government continues to reign).
Other notes:There is no player elimination in this. Voting to lynch each other will be met with hysterical laughter from me.
There are no deadlines unless I think the game is lagging. I will then set a deadline for the current phase if it becomes a problem. If you have a real life issue you have to work around please try to notify me and I will try to work with you around it.
You are free to discuss anything you want at any point in the game, but I will ask that you keep it confined to the game thread itself and no PMing unless it's with me as part of the gameplay or to ask a question. This is even if you're a spy. Part of the challenge for spies is to make sure they coordinate their sabotages while everyone is watching and listening to you and I'd like to try to simulate that as best as possible. Honor system!
The sign up thread can still be used for general discussion and for people watching from the sidelines! Just make sure your discussion will not impact the actual game. Use your best judgement on what that entails.
We are now in the Team Building Phase for round 1.1! TheEvilDog, take it away. Others, you're free to throw in suggestions and do the usual discussion you'd have in regular mafia until it's time to vote.
