S-FM: Fist of the North Star

[Azuriae]

S-FM: Fist of the North Star

First, This is not accurate to the storyline/plot of Fist of the North Star. Don't panic. I was only inspired by it.
Second, My English isn't perfect.. I'm working on it. Don't hesitate to point out if I make/made mistakes.
Third, this is my first time hosting, I will do my best.


This is the year 1992. World War 3 has left the world in ruins. The nuclear war has ravaged the planet; the Earth is nothing more than a wasteland. Only few survived, and most of those that survived the nukes died of starvation.
Justice has ceased to exist in this barren world. Multiple gangs have formed, taking over whatever valuables were left.
Most notably, the three Rashōs, Kaios, Hyoh and Han have taken over the Island of Shura. Their reign is a reign of terror; Anyone who dares defy them meets a terrible fate at the hand of their deadly martial arts. In only a few months, the number of survivors has already faltered to around twenty five thousand poor souls.
But today, a hero has risen. Originally an orphan from Taeiseiden, Kenshiro was adopted by Ryuken, master of the Hokuto Shinken martial arts, who tutored him and taught him his secrets. And now, he has come to Shura to put an end to this injustice, accompanied by other users of the secret arts, trying to establish an equity in this damned world.
As if the Rashōs weren't enough, there is a rumor floating around that Shin has also arrived in Shura, thirsty for vengeance.
Nothing will stand in his way when it comes to his true goal; find and steal the woman he has always loved, Kenshiro's fiancée, Yuria.
This can only end in a bloodbath; who shall survive the battle of the island of Shura?

Wow, I like it. The special mechanics also seems fun and will make things spicy!

[Azuriae]

First time hosting, first time writing down a setup, etc.
Point it out if you see any flaws/things that could be worked on!

Lol that theme.

[creedkingsx]

Kill all doc claimers.

[Azuriae]

Kill all doc claimers.

Any reason in particular? Something imbalanced about the setup?

Lol that theme.

You know you love it. You can't dislike Fist of the North Star.

[NoctiZ]

Maybe because Doctor is paired in the investigative results with scums only (except for the Maiden which is a kind of safe lynch too if we don't want to risk letting a scum escape because we assume him/her to be the Maiden) and it might protect the scums from investigators? The real doctor is bound to be killed with these people. But it's just something I assume anyway, maybe creed has a different reason.

[CmG]

Watch the real life movie of it. With Malcolm Mcdowell and say that again!

/presign b/c Azuriae. 'nuff said. This will be awesome

[Cryptonic]

before submitting this to the queue, you'll need to reduce your # of possible roles (including Godfather, Citizen, ect) down to 25.
But it looks like you put a lot of effort into your thread, so GJ

I was thinking about swapping the Maiden with the Bodyguard in the pairings. Any input on this?

Ack, I had totally forgotten about that rule.
I'll have to rethink this, not sure which roles I want to remove from there. (My role setup isn't set in stone yet.)

Maiden to Bodyguard swap makes a lot of sense for multiple reasons, but it is your setup. Only change what you want to change.

I hate this role rule xD.

But it does make a lot of sense. (And it has been done!) As I said, this is my first time hosting, any feedback/tips are more than welcome.

[Azuriae]

Updated the Amnesiac rolecard for ''Unique'' roles and identities and updated the Maiden's rolecard/special mechanic in case She visits Kenshiro/Shin and is visited by the other one at the same time. Who knows, It's a possibility!

wait what were to happen if the both vist? or maiden vist one and other vists her?

[Azuriae]

Second question is answered in the Maiden's rolecard/Special Mechanics. Yuria will die if she is visited by both at the same time, as unlikely as it is (My bad, I'll add it to the card.)

(All questions will be answered in pink. ♥)

[Azuriae]

Removed Coroner/Janitor to comply with the 25 roles rule and updated the investigative pairings.

Also going through a Fist of the North Star marathon. Went through 150 chapters yesterday, I'll finish it all tonight when I'm home after work. Woopwoop~

[Cryptonic]

coroner / janitor are still on possible roles list.
and there is still more than 25 :P

[Azuriae]

FFFFF-

I had forgotten to count Maiden and Supreme Leader in.
Rectified, say goodbye to Framer and Spree Killer. I think that should work.

[Cryptonic]

OoO is missing Survivor and Amnesiac.
Framer, Janitor, and Coroner are in OoO, but are not in the game.
If Yuria visited Shin and Shin isn't visiting Yuria, does Shin still get roleblocked?
Jailor needs to be specified that they need to PM you who to jail, not just type it during the day.
If Lookout sees who his target visited, what's the point of targeting oneself?
If two charged players visit eachother, and one is healed, will he remain charged?
Since the Electromaniac can charge himself, does everyone he charge after that die since he's charging and visiting?

[Azuriae]

OoO is missing Survivor and Amnesiac.
Framer, Janitor, and Coroner are in OoO, but are not in the game.

Woups, fixed. Forgot to remove them after taking them out of the possible roles list. Added Survivor. (Amnesiac is the first one the list!)

If Yuria visited Shin and Shin isn't visiting Yuria, does Shin still get roleblocked?

''If she visits Shin/is visited by Shin, she will roleblock him and they will learn each other's identity. She will become a Citizen. Shin also gains the ability to send Yuria a letter every night''
So yes, roleblocks are before kills/douses/charges in the OoO; Shin will be roleblocked.

Jailor needs to be specified that they need to PM you who to jail, not just type it during the day.

Rectified this line.

If Lookout sees who his target visited, what's the point of targeting oneself?

Derp. Mixed that when I removed Detective. Fixed it.

If two charged players visit eachother, and one is healed, will he remain charged?

No, he will be saved and the charge will be consumed. Other charged person will die.

Since the Electromaniac can charge himself, does everyone he charge after that die since he's charging and visiting?

Same thing as the situation with the Doctor; He can charge himself on, let's say, N2. on N3, the person he charges will die, and the charge on himself will be consumed. I'll add this information to the rolecard. Also removed the double charge on N1.

[BorkBot]

Can the amnesiac remember the Maiden?

Can the amnesiac remember the orange (Shin-aligned) citizen?

If amnesiac takes a role with charges, how many charges does she get?

Does the maiden lose if the game ends before she met Shin or Kenshiro?

Can survivor vest use be roleblocked?

Are there any actions/visits the lookout can't see? (esp jailor, journalist, amnesiac, arso ignite)

Can bus driver, jester and maiden (non-block) be roleblocked?

Can Shin's mail be roleblocked?

Can Jailor executions be healed/guarded? (since it's not listed separately it looks like a generic kill)

[Azuriae]

Can the amnesiac remember the Maiden?

No. The Maiden role is specific to Yuria.
I've added it to the rolecard.

Can the amnesiac remember the orange (Shin-aligned) citizen?

Yes. The fact that the Citizen is Shin-aligned will also be revealed.

If amnesiac takes a role with charges, how many charges does she get?

One charge. Added to the rolecard.

Does the maiden lose if the game ends before she met Shin or Kenshiro?

Yes, she does. She must either meet with one of them, or become a Jester (And win as a Jester) after both died.

Can survivor vest use be roleblocked?

Considering roleblocks are before vesting in the OoO, yes.
I'm not sure if I should leave itl ike that, though. Suggestions would be appreciated;
doublecheck my OoO to make sure everything is fine ;)

Are there any actions/visits the lookout can't see? (esp jailor, journalist, amnesiac, arso ignite)

The Lookout will detect the Jailor/Journalist/Amnesiac action, but will see the Arsonist as not moving when he ignites. He will detect his douses though.

Can bus driver, jester and maiden (non-block) be roleblocked?

Yes, Bus Driver may be roleblocked. Visits may also be blocked (Jester/Maiden.)

Can Shin's mail be roleblocked?

No. This is not considered a night action/visit; the mail has no effect on the game.

Can Jailor executions be healed/guarded? (since it's not listed separately it looks like a generic kill)

No. I forgot to add it in the rolecard with the Perfect Roleblock/Immunity; It is also a Perfect Kill ;)

[BorkBot]

Recommended OoO change:

Order of Operations:
1. Jailor jails his target.
2. Night chats open, Journalist sends his article to his target.
3. Mail
4. Bus Driver swaps his targets. (affected by 5)
5. Roleblocks (Escort/Consort/Maiden Success)
6. Night visits (Maiden Fail/Jester)
7. Doctor/Bodyguard protects and Survivor uses his vest.
8. Arsonist Douses/Electromaniac Charges/Drug Dealer/Blackmail.
9. Kills.
10. All investigations (Sheriff, Investigator, Lookout, Journalist article is posted, Consigliere)
11. Amnesiac picks his role.
12. Jailor Executes / Releases Prisoner

This way:
- You make clear that the bus driver can be roleblocked
- Maiden/Jester visits can be roleblocked (they don't affect the consort/escort in any way, so they can happen afterwards without exceptions)
- Amnesiac can be roleblocked (dead targets can't be bus driven, so it's not affected by driving)
- Mail can't be roleblocked or misdirected because of bus driving (because it happens first)

If you want survivor to be able to use vests without worrying about roleblocks, move it to the front (where Mail is).

[BorkBot]

No. I forgot to add it in the rolecard with the Perfect Roleblock/Immunity; It is also a Perfect Kill ;)

Can the jailor's execution be roleblocked?

And another setup reminded me
Where is jester grief in the OoO?

[Azuriae]

Can the jailor's execution be roleblocked?

Yes.

And another setup reminded me
Where is jester grief in the OoO?

At first I thought I'd just let it be part of the ''Kills'', but I think it would just be better to put it at the far end of the OoO. Done!

[BorkBot]

Not using the OoO I posted?

Essentially it's just a corrected/more complete version, according to the answers you gave to my questions.

[Azuriae]

Yep, I'm an idiot. I was at work and only saw your last post.
Updated that.

Only change I did was swap Amnesiac and Investigations. I think It's fair for them to be able to detect his pairing/faction on the night he picks, if they happen to target him.

Thanks a lot; I really appreciate the help.

Oh I understand that! But the whole point of the sign up thread is so sign stating you agree to the rules set out in your sign up thread and that you know you're going to be free and available to start at that time! A presign doesn't confirm that! :]

how about this if a person wants to allow it let the person allow it if they dont then dont allow it

[Azuriae]

Aye; but considering I'm not opening signups for approximately two weeks, I'll require a confirmation from everyone to make sure they are still interested/available for the game. I think It's only fair ;)

[BorkBot]

You could do as Slaol did last time.

Leave signups open after they fill and give presigns priority slots even if they're a bit late. Choose a time to start the game and if presigns still don't show up, disregard them.
