S-FM: Spore, Cell Stage

[deathworlds]

Prelude:
The Spore Series is going to be a 5-part series of S-FM's and M-FM's. Each of the 5 parts will be divided into the 5 stages of spore, respectively, in order.

Part 1: Cell stage S-FM
Part 2: Creature stage S-FM
Part 3: Tribal stage S-FM
Part 4: Civilization stage S-FM or M-FM (preferably M-FM)
Part 5: Space stage M-FM or (FM???)

Things to expect:
1. Similarities in abilities, names, mechanics to the game.
2. Custom made roles
3. Special role mechanics.
4. Lots of special mechanics
5. Evolution mechanic, players that participated in past games will receive slight advantages proportionate to the amount of games you have played; this will affect their role assignments but not their alignment.
6. RP, yes I will actually make an RP for this game (shocker right?) it will follow a winning (living) player in each game.

Now, bask in the glory of my latest creation

Completed and ready for review

RP
You, and several other cells have recently developed on a new planet, several Herbivores have gathered around and formed a fragile alliance to protect themselves from Carnivores, meanwhile a radical new type of diet has emerged, an Omnivore lurks among them.

My current game of D&D may be less complex than this setup plan.

I like the eating mechanic so far.

[ika]

omg spore was so much fun......

[Cryptonic]

omg spore was so much fun......

Yes

[SuperJack]

I would play this game just because I loved spore.

[SuperJack]

It was so great my girlfriend played it, and she hates games.

[Hypersniper]

Spore was great still play it today got every doc released to it but am i the only person who.got galactic adventures and spent days creating a story

[Hypersniper]

Also I suggest that the players who played in the first one get priority over the later games and so on
so if I play the first 3 I get priority over someone who only played the 2 before me etc

Add me, im wormhole73.

It'll take a few business days. Lots of special mechanics and I just got the shit beat out of me so I need to regain my brain cells

[MattZed]

If the omnivore has 5 points with each alignment, can they win with either?

[deathworlds]

If the omnivore has 5 points with each alignment, can they win with either?

Yup, as long as its not an epic omnivore.

[Orpz]

It seems like Town has a lot of customizable power and inherently able to withstand more than one attack from the Mafia. Is this intended?

Will players know how much HP they have at the end of each night?

Yes.

And the key is for mafia to attack together, effectivly dealing enough to kill most cells.

[Stealthbomber16]

I'm assuming all parts will be assigned to us as opposed to regular spore.

Yes.

Since your last activity was over 2 months ago, I will be archiving this and all of your other setups for the time being. Please PM me when you would like to host again. At the time of this post, you had a small S-FM at the top of the queue.

On that note, I hope you are feeling a lot better and have since recovered from your illness I'm beginning to feel the effects of the winter myself

[Thornholt]

/sign me up, I loooooved spore

[SuperJack]

heck yeh, HOST IS BACK LETS DO THIS GAME <3

[Thornholt]

though I'm over him in the queue.....

[Calix]

though I'm over him in the queue.....

This is a small S-FM, which has its own queue. It will be up after Sen's game.

Your game is a large S-FM.

[Orpz]

Is it revealed how many foods are available per cycle?
For proboscis, what do you mean by damage dealt is proportional to blood sucked? The wording is too vague, please specify an exact amount.

Are size and non-mouth parts randomly given out as like "rolecards"?

[deathworlds]

Is it revealed how many foods are available per cycle?
Every Day Start and End reaveals how much food is left

For proboscis, what do you mean by damage dealt is proportional to blood sucked? The wording is too vague, please specify an exact amount.

Can not do, if the cell is epic it can deal 1-6 damage (lethal) from a single attack, if it is small, then it deals 1 damage. if normal it deals 2, if large it deals 3. But It will only provide blood equal to the amount of damage that the target recieved.

Are size and non-mouth parts randomly given out as like "rolecards"?

???

/sign

I wasn't sure how parts were earned, since the rolecard says you only start with a mouth, but the example rolecard PM lists more parts.

[Orpz]

What does poison do to investigatives that find it?
Can both Carnivores use the jaw attack on the same night?
Can abilities from different parts be used together on the same night?

I think town might be a little too strong because of the HP mechanic making it hard for Mafia to kill. If Mafia loses a member, their kill potential is halved.

[deathworlds]

What does poison do to investigatives that find it?
It results in a "you could not focus last night" kinda shtick.
Can both Carnivores use the jaw attack on the same night?
Yeah
Can abilities from different parts be used together on the same night?
You can use 1 ability that deals damage, 1 ability that obtains food, and 1 ability that does something different all in the same night.


I think town might be a little too strong because of the HP mechanic making it hard for Mafia to kill. If Mafia loses a member, their kill potential is halved.

I'm thinking of adding a factional kill that replaces the damaging ability for 1 of the mafia members.

^^

[Orpz]

^^

A factional kill might be best. I know there's mandatory lynch, but Mafia won't always be in control of that.

[SuperJack]

A factional kill might be best. I know there's mandatory lynch, but Mafia won't always be in control of that.

Makes the HP thing pretty redundant.

[Orpz]

Makes the HP thing pretty redundant.

That's true. Perhaps nerf HP and then buff Mafia attack instead?
The big issue is the Mafia kill isn't very consistent. They might lose a KPN by attacking a Large Town cell. Worse, when one of them dies, the other can only one hit kill the small cells.

Is there a way for cells to grow in size or is it determined at game start?

Right now, size is predetermined.

[Orpz]

Have you decided on any ideas for possibly changing the night kill idea?

[deathworlds]

Have you decided on any ideas for possibly changing the night kill idea?

1 member of the carnivore faction may instead perform a boosted attack that deals 4 damage instead of 2 each night.

[Orpz]

Approved, you may post signups now.

[deathworlds]
