S-FM: Converging Realities

[Auckmid]

Setup: https://www.sc2mafia.com/forum/showthread.php/43663-S-FM-Converging-Realities-(13-Players)

A few minor changes may be made to the setup before start. I'm posting signups now, but the game will likely not start for a couple of weeks to reduce conflict with Damus'/Mike's FM.

As I said this likely won't be going for around another 2 weeks. Are you just not going to have any time to play at all during this period?

Yea, I have a baby coming in a few weeks, so I don't think I should commit to a game lol

Okay, congrats! You and Damus ended up having kids at pretty much the same time.

It’s in the air

Move me to /reserve

Life is throwing me curveballs. Don't know how much time I'll have free for games.

Curveballs are keeping me busy at least until March. Gotta find a place to live and move in before then.

I was interested in playing with you more...

Sorry. If in a couple of weeks it seems like I will have the time to give the game the attention is deserves, I'll consider signing again, but as it is, I think the game is better off without me. Especially if my performance in blink's game is anything to go by.

As mentioned, the FM still won't start for at least a week. However, I would like to get some opinions on the preferred day/night times...


Option A) Both "realities" run in parallel with 72 hour days and 24 hour nights. This is how it is currently in the setup.

Option B) The "realities" are slanted so that only one thread is open at a time. RealityA would be open for 48 hours, followed by RealityB being open for 48 hours, followed by a 24 hour night. Only one thread would need to be attended to at a time, but the overall time required to reach the convergence would be extended by 48 hours (From 8 days irl to 10 days).


I'll do whichever version is preferred by the majority of the players.

[Marshmallow Marshall]

I vote for Option A. I'm not a fan of leaving a thread (a reality) dead for 72h straight.

I agree option a

Option A reads to me like there would be two threads going at one time.
Is this accurate or am i misunderstanding @Auckmid

[Kenny]

A)

[Yayap]

I'm good either option.. something tells me that with the amount of killing roles and no lookout, I won't live long.

[Banshis]

/reserve currently for reasons u already know of Auckmid

@Yayap If you survive night 1 you are scum

[Glip]

Option A is faster, 4 day cycle instead of 5 day. These games can tend to drag on as it is. Let the multiple simultaneous daythread confusion begin!

[Yayap]

/reserve currently for reasons u already know of Auckmid

@Yayap If you survive night 1 you are scum

Well if you want to start this now, then I claim that a doctor on me possibility might persuade scum to not hit me. Thus I might make it to day 2.

[Auckmid]

I'm seeing much more support for option A, so no changes will be made to the setup in that regard.

Option A reads to me like there would be two threads going at one time.

Yes, both threads will be open at the same time.


The following additional notes have been added to the setup...

Additional Rules

1) The host reserves the right to add uncommon or unique roles to the setup in addition to the special roles/keywords given above. However...
2) The following mechanics will NOT exist in the setup:

• Roles which must die to fulfill their win condition (ex: Jester)
• Roles which can win with different opposing factions (ex: Survivor)
• Roles that cause other players to change alignments (ex: Cult Leader)

3) Cause of death will not be given pre-convergence but will be given post-convergence, including the cause of death for people who died prior to the convergence in both realities.
4) No last wills or death notes.

Quite a few players who were available earlier in the winter aren't available at the moment. We will see if there is an influx of signups at the conclusion of the ongoing FMs. If not, the start of the FM might need to be delayed for some of those players to become available again.

I will tentatively move my /reserve back to a /sign, assuming this still isn't starting for another couple weeks.

I'm not completely certain on when I'll start the FM. I'll give at least 3 days warning before starting the FM, so if you are still too busy at that point, I'll move you back to reserve.

[Yayap]

Auckmid! Shhhhh... You are making it too obvious that your example setup is 100% not the setup. I'm trying to setup wifom before the game starts to survive N1.

Ps.. Prefer town, I'm tired of having to rewire my brain to play scum.

[Auckmid]

lol, I'll just leave the cult leader in the example setup as it is

[XDarkDragonDX]

/reserve pls, I'll be busy a couple of weeks

[The Lawyer]

When does the game start?

[Auckmid]

When does the game start?

Even though there is still a bit of uncertainty, it will most likely begin some time next week.

Ideally, we will get the last 4 signups in the next few days and then I can set an exact start date based off of that. If it comes to it, I will downsize the setup to work with less then 13 players.

[Ganelon]

/sign
My game'll start after Auckmid's ends.

[Mike]

Change to /reserve have a lot going on. Sorry.

Any chance you could start the game anytime after next Wednesday? I'll be quite busy till then

[Auckmid]

Sure.

After giving some recent thought, I have decided to give a vague role list for the 13 player setup for both realities.

Hidden Any

[Marshmallow Marshall]

Swap me to /reserve, please.

[Auckmid]

@Damus_Graves @Marshmallow Marshall


After giving it some thought, I don't think that I can downsize the setup without heavily gimping the mechanics I would want to have in play. While there are several players that will become available again in a few weeks, I don't think that I am realistically going to fill the last 4 slots that quickly. For that reason, I'm happy to push this game down in the queue and let Ganelon go first if he is able to get the appropriate numbers for his game. If not, setup sizes might have to be downsized for a bit until there is a higher amount of player activity again on the site.

[Glip]

My /sign should be good to go to start any time. Shame so many people are stuck in the reserves list for now

[Mike]

Just to let everyone know one of these weekends I will not be able to play as my wedding anniversary. Is Feb 10 yes us men can remember lol. I promised my wife a hunnymoon weekend. Meaning spending time with her no games lol. Only putting this out there so you all understand why I am not signing up.. now if I can play one during the week and have a sub for the weekend that would be ok. Lol.
