They asked for more Shining Force mafias. What the hell man?


I know, right? These people are all masochists.


Well, they asked. Who are we to deny them of their means of self-abuse? I've got a psychologist on speeddial, ready for this game.


Bro, you're gonna need more than that.


Right. I should call the guys at the storage unit up the street. Might need the space.

.::RULES::.
- I'm the mod and my word is final. Don't do anything that you expect will annoy me, even if it's not in the rules. This includes looking for loopholes. If you're modkilled, you lose unless I feel like giving you grace due to the circumstances.
- No Outside Contact, keep the talking to the game thread unless your role allows otherwise. This goes for dead players, as well as non-players.
- Don't directly interfere with the game if you're dead or not playing - if you're going to talk to other players or post in-thread I expect everything you say to have no game relevance whatsoever.
- Going 48 hours without a post nets you a prod. Going 72 hours without a post or receiving three prods will result in a modsub, or a modkill if I cannot get a sub.
- If you need a sub, please ask for it. I will be more lenient if you give me fair warning that you will be away from the game. That being said, please don't sign up if you plan to be away for voluntary reasons. This includes; limited activity due to playing other games such as LoL or WoW, posting actively in other threads such as the Roleplay boards and being active in one mafia game but not this one.
- Don't screenshot things with the intent to post them in this game while it's running.
- Don't edit your posts.
- Don't post after hammer. Warnings may be given. Or worse.
- Don't talk at night unless your role allows you to do so. If you have something important to say, say it in your RolePM.
- Have good integrity. This includes not being a dick.
- Play to win.


.::ELIESON'S AND SB'S PAY-SPECIFIC-ATTENTION-TO-THESE-GAME RULES::.
- Keep the insults to an absolute minimum. I will be happy to force sub/modkill if I see insult slinging. Vulgarities, I don't mind, unless used as or combined with insults.
- If you are showing signs of inactivity, you may prep a post in your RolePM that I can post on your behalf, at any time. This means, if you are away until night phase, and can come up with a post (but cannot post it due to phase rulings), then post it in your RolePM and give me a request as to when you'd like it posted. If you don't specify a time, I will post it on your behalf at phase start, assuming you are alive during the next phase to post it.

-There is a cult.
-This game is Anonymous, and will be held offsite. Links will be provided when the game is set to confirmation phase.
.::SET-UP INFORMATION::.
- 72 hour days, 24 hour nights. Nights may end up to 8 hours early, if all actions are submitted.
- This game features a Day start
- All lynch options (including No Lynch) must be Hammered. Hammers are instant, and cannot be undone. Hammers equal 50%, rounded up, of voters.
- Day 1 may end early with a hammer, or with majority by phase clock end. All days after Day 1 without a hammer result in a No Lynch.
- LYLO and variations will be announced.
- 3 No Lynches result in a Universal Loss for all players.
- A mafia-aligned role can use their night action and go on the factional kill in the same night.
- This set-up is explicitly not bastard. Everything happens for a reason.
- Players will know if their action fails or if they are redirected.

- Inspection results aren't guarenteed to be accurate.

- Vanillas may or may not exist.
- If you violate any rules, your faction may suffer a punishment deemed worthy to even the game's playing field.

- Do not communicate with other players on the outside of the game. You don't know who's playing, so you don't know who you might be revealing information to. If I'm informed about this, the faction responsible, alive or dead, will receive punishment.

The lineup commences. Iom has stolen the Sword of Hajya from our heroes. They need that sword, for without it, how can their brave leader emerge and guide the Shining Force towards victory?

It is now Day 1, and runs for 72 (+40 minutes) hours. Day 1 ends on 4/17/14 at 0900 GMT-5/CST.

With 19 alive, 10 votes result in an instant day-ending hammer. If no hammer occurs, then for this day only, a lynch may occur with a single player having the majority of votes collected on them.


(You'll find ISO's in the Booting up the GameGear subforums, and linked in the OP here.)

Day 1 End:

To everyone's surprise, Quark just couldn't figure out how to vote.

"I just want to be your friend!" he shouted. "Why do we have to kill people?"

But no one listened to him. There was no doubt that Iom was influencing Quark to be a spy in the Cypress army. The Shining Force would tolerate betrayal no more.

Quark has been lynched. Quark's RolePM dropped from his chainmail and said...

Dear Quark, you are Claude.

sfggp11.gif

You are a bird-man bird battler. Pretty strong with attacks but doesn't have good defense. This character's biggest advantage is it's ability to fly. He joins the Shining Force after their battle on the ship. Claude is so strong compared to birdmen in other Shining Force games. So that makes him special.

During the night, you may respond to your RolePM with ##Night X: Fly over to [uSER]. You will fly towards [uSER], and engage in conversation with them. [uSER] will know that you are conversing with them. You and [uSER] may communicate only in a chatroom provided to you by the host via URL link. This communication will only last for the duration of the next day phase.

In short, you are the Neighborizer.

You have a Post Restriction in which you are requested to follow. Please make all posts as if:
-Elite. You're aerial combat is impressive, and hell, you can fly. Flying units always dominate, and you are well aware of this. Try to come off as cocky.

You are aligned with the Shining Force. You win when the Shining Force prevails over its foes!


Looks like his Quark, got popped.

YYYYYYEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA



It's now Night 1. Night 1 ends in 24 hours, or rather, at 9am GMT-6/CST.

Night may end up to 8 hours early, if I have all actions in by then. So, keep quiet! I want my beauty sleep!

Since everyone is asking

Submit any and all night actions to your Serenes Forest PM, not the one on Zetaboards.

Also, no talking to the dead, or anyone you think might be dead. I don't want to have to modkill people, I really don't.

The Shining Force made it to Algam Fort, with but one casualty. Things were looking up, but the enemy didn't seem to keen on letting the Force drive through their southern stronghold. Zombies and Pegasus Knights lay in wait for for Force, but that didn't seem like a real threat. Dark Shamans and even a Master Mage were hiding in the shadows, but still, the Force kept their wits about them and conquered Algam.

There were many deaths, grunts and zombies and everything in between, but three deaths stuck out from the rest, and sent shivers down everybody's spine.


Overlap has been killed. Overlap was...




Dear Overlap, you are Chester.

sfggp10.gif

You are a human, male ranger. Pretty strong with attacks and has soso defense. Joins the Shining Force after Gordon leaves the throne room after he tells the Shining Force that the king was sacrificed to Iom. Chester tends to have stronger attacks than Graham.

During the night, you may respond to your RolePM with ##Night X: My elven eyes can keep an eye on you, [uSER]. You will maintain focus on [uSER] throughout the night with incredible diligence, and while hiding in the trees, will be able to spot anyone that visits [uSER]. You must spend time crafting new arrows for your bow however, and thus may only perform this action on Odd nights (Night 1, 3, 5, etc).

In short, you are the Odd-night Watcher.

You have a Post Restriction in which you are requested to follow. Please make all posts as if:
-You are after vengeance for losing your king. Post as if you are upset and holding back tears of sadness and regret for not being able to save your king.

You are aligned with the Shining Force. You win when the Shining Force prevails over its foes!


Carnival has been killed. Carnival was...




Dear Carnival, you are Warderer

sfggp12.gif

You are the evil bulldog-looking villain, he is Iom's right hand man and he enforces the mighty Iom's commands to his evil minions of darkness. Even though he's one of the major villains, he doesn't seem to do much. All he does is ramble on about Iom and command his minions to do his bidding. What a lazy villain. Shame on you, Warderer! Get off your lazy ass and do something about the meddling Shining Force!

During the night, you may respond to your RolePM with one of the following:
##Night X: Minions, point [uSER1] at [uSER2] quickly. You will force actions set to target someone specific made by [uSER1] to target [uSER2] instead.
##Night X: Minions, follow [uSER]. You will send a lesser minion to follow [uSER], learning who they target with any active ability. Should [uSER] idle their action, or not have an active ability, you will receive results indicating “visited no one”.
##Night X: Minions, spy on [uSER]. You will learn if [uSER] performed an action or not. If [uSER] does not have an active ability, or idle's their ability, you will receive results indicating “did nothing.”
##Night X: Dark Forces, forge a mental bond with [uSER]. You will engage user in a telepathic communication with [uSER] via a bond which will last until one of you dies. You may communicate anonymously in the link below. You may reveal your identity if you so desire (yes, that means you can claim to be any player you wish, including yourself).

In short, you are the Jack of All Trades, featuring one use of each of the following:

  • Hijacker
  • Tracker
  • Reporter
  • Permanent Anonymous Neighborizer
You have a Post Restriction in which you are requested to follow. Please make all posts as if: [You are Sarah] -Kind, supportive and reassuring. You have a glaring optimism that restores morale simply by existing. Be kinda cutesy, since people are always happier around you.

You are aligned with Iom. You win when Iom is the the only army standing, or nothing else can prevent this from occuring!

Saturn has been killed. Saturn was...




Dear Saturn Saturn, you are Gyan.

sfggp24.gif

You are a dogman, male fighter. He's strong in strength in defense. Gyan is one of the few survivors of Nick's army. He joins you before the battle with Iom's Statue that shoots beams of fire. Gyan rules! He's such an original character. No other Shining Force has a dog-like kung fu fighter like Gyan.

During the night, you may respond to your RolePM with ##Night X: Take [uSER] down. If you are killed, [uSER] will also die.

In short, you are the Hunter.


During the night, you have no action. However, you may communicate with your fellow Guildmate(s) in the provided chatroom. Since you have been recruited first, you will inherit the Guild, on the chance that your Guild leader dies. You cannot recruit.

In short, you are the Cult Backup Leader.

You have a Post Restriction in which you are requested to follow. Please make all posts as if:
-Absolute humourless service towards Cypress. You are part dog though, and do occassionally find yourself exhibiting stereotypical dog like behavior, like howling at the full moon, and wagging your tail when you get excited.

You are aligned with the Shining Force. You win when the Shining Force prevails over its foes!

You are aligned with The Guild. You win when The Guild includes enough members to equate to 50% or more of the total amount of living players.



It is now Day 2. With 15 alive, 8 hammers, and you have 72 hours to do so. Failure to hammer results in a nolynch.

Phase ends at 0900 GMT-6 on 4/21/14 (7am PST, 8AM MST, 9am CST, 10am EST, etc)

Things just wouldn't be the same with one member down. Didn't matter who it was, for you were all certain that it was for the best.

The Cypress Army can't have the weak in it. They'd be better off back in their hometowns.

Halloween, go back home, to your family, to your friends, to the place where you belong.

Halloween froze on the mud where the Cypress warriors had left him to stay. He paused, and watched as the army marched onward towards the night, crossing the horizon before him, while he stood unable to move. Halloween had no home to return to. His village was under siege until mere minutes before his invitation to join the army. With that, he could not maintain his pride as a man. With no family to return to, and no cause to fight for, Halloween decided that it would be best to rid the world of his worthless body and shriveled up dignity as a Dwarf with nothing to call his own.

Halloween was lynched. Halloween was...

Dear Halloween, you are Rhode.

sfggp16.gif

You are a human, male gladiator. He's very strong and he has good defense. Another must for your army. He joins the Shining Force when they reach Algam fort. Rhode is as strong as Randolf. They both kick ass.

During the day, when the game is not in any *YLO (or variant), you may respond to your RolePM with ##Day X: It's you or me, [uSER]! You will lock [uSER] in a duel to the death, and lock your vote on [uSER]. [uSER] will also have their vote defaulted to you. Other players' votes will default to ##Vote No Lynch, and will only be allowed to vote for you or [uSER], resulting in either one of you being lynched, the other, or a no lynch if a tie should occur. This is too much for your old bones, and can only be done one time.

In short, you are the One-shot Gladiator.

You have a Post Restriction in which you are requested to follow. Please make all posts as if:

-You are recalling classic dwarven lore and folktale, wanting to engage in battle to prove your strength, or interested in downing a tall mug of the best Ale coin can buy.

You are aligned with the Shining Force. You win when the Shining Force prevails over its foes!

It's now Night 2. Night 2 ends in 24 hours, or rather, at 9pm GMT-6/CST.

Night may end up to 8 hours early, if I have all actions in by then. I'm off!

Waking up to yet another day, you find some people missing. And... a familiar face?

Define and Nexus have died. They were:

Dear Define,

???

Dear Nexus, you are Graham.

sfggp09.gif

You are a centaur, male ranger. Pretty strong with attacks and has soso defense. Joins the Shining Force after he shoots the gargoyle escaping with the Sword of Hajya. Tends to have stronger defense than Chester.

During the night, you may respond to your RolePM with ##Night X: Something isn't right with [Alliance], where [Alliance] is your choice of the Mafia or Cult. You will be able to detect how many living players are aligned with the mafia or cult. Also, because you were voluntarily recruited by an enemy once, and absolutely hated it, you have stronger willpower than you realize, and are determined to never sway alignments again under any circumstances.

In short, you are the Cultproof Numbers Checker.

You have a Post Restriction in which you are requested to follow. Please make all posts as if:

-You are the indirect source of the war, stealing the Sword of Hajya from Cypress in order to save your village from doom. You've apologized for your actions but still feel remorse. Post as if you regret your actions, and wish you were stronger and more capable.

You are aligned with the Shining Force. You win when the Shining Force prevails over its foes!

That's strange. Whatever happened to Define, anyway?

But that's not the weirdest thing. You find Overlap alive again, for some unknown reason. Take what you can get, I suppose.

You also hear the usual loudness of a morning.

Alright guys I know mafia is hard and all but let's try to get our shit together and lynch scum today.

Starting with Galahad.

Furthermore:

Alright guys I know mafia is hard and all but let's try to get our shit together and lynch scum today.

"Clearly August is allied with Iom!"

"I agree."

So you lynched them.

Dear August, you are Slade.

sfggp08.gif

You are a human, male healer. Has weak defense, soso strength in attacks, and possesses healing magic. Joins the Shining Force while they pass through a town after the first two battles. When Sarah joins the Shining Force--drop this weakling for her!

During the night, you may respond to your RolePM with ##Night X: Teach [uSER] how to really heal. You will attempt to spend the night helping [uSER] control their magical powers and use it for effective and risk-free Healing. If successful, then [uSER] will be able to control their healing magic in a whole new way.

In short, you are the Certifier.

You have a Post Restriction in which you are requested to follow. Please make all posts as if:

-Afraid of death. Your village was ransacked, and you're pretty timid due to it, so act the part of a nervous commoner.

You are aligned with the Shining Force. You win when the Shining Force prevails over its foes!

Wait... what?

It is now Night 3. You have 24 hours or something to send in night actions.

The sun set quickly yesterday, but the night still seemed to last forever, as yesterday's surprise left the Cypress Army at wits' end.
What do we do now?
I don't know. Can we trust you?
We can't even trust ourselves. We could turn at any moment...this is becoming too much.
I can't take it anymore!
While no one slept through the night, the fires lighting the camp did die down for moments here and there, and when the sun arose and tents emptied, a glimmer of hope seemed to make itself known, among the ashes of the firepit. This message, looked like an arrow. It seemed to be pointing towards Galahad's tent. The survivors carefully walked over towards the canopy, untied the fabric that loosely held the portals shut, and looked to the ground inside with complete shock.
Galahad has been killed. Galahad was...

Dear Galahad Galahad, you are Gordon.
sfggp13.gif
You are this creepy-looking guy with huge eyes. He took the form of the king after the king was sacrificed to Iom. When the Shining Force arrives to the castle, he reveals his true form and confesses to his crimes before he escapes leaving the castle in rubble. His eyes look so creepy!
During the night, you may respond to your RolePM with one of the following:
##Night X: Crystal Ball, show me [uSER]. You will learn any special abilities that [uSER] is capable of.
##Night X: Disguise [uSER] as one of us. You will cause [uSER] to appear aligned with Iom for this immediate night. This will only last for one night.
In short, you are the Framer, as well as the Role Cop.
You have a Post Restriction in which you are requested to follow. Please make all posts as if:
[You are Higins]-A short, curt ninja. You aren't much of a conversationalist, so keep your posts short and infrequent, but include as much key info without posting fluff. You only speak what matters.
You are aligned with Iom. You win when Iom is the the only army standing, or nothing else can prevent this from occuring!
There was another omen though. This one was...different than the other. Almost spelled out in blood, below Galahad's cold, stiff feet, was an image of what looked like a coin.
A coin? What could that mean?
The survivors continued to gather around the camp, and eventually, meandered over to the shop to purchase provisions for the morning's meal. On the ground, in front of the stand, lay a body with deep cuts across its wrists and a pool of blood around each one. Was this an attempt at suicide?
Retina has died. Retina was...

Dear Retina, you are Dawn.
sfggp06.gif
You are a centaur, female knight. A well-balanced soldier for the front lines. Starts with the Shining Force in the beginning. Dawn has a tendency to have to have better defense than Eric. I like Dawn but I go for Eric since he's stronger.
During the night, you may respond to your RolePM with ##Night X: Strike [uSER] with my lance. You will charge towards [uSER] with such force, that contact with your lance will knock them to their knees, preventing them from performing their action.
In short, you are the Roleblocker.
As a member of the cult, you no longer have an ability, but may communicate with the cult in the provided URL below. You still have your vote, however.
You have a Post Restriction in which you are requested to follow. Please make all posts as if:
-Diligent and proud of your duty. Smack lax partners in the back of their heads, and insist that town follow its leader (whomever it may be, as it isn't you, since you're the guard to the leader).
You are aligned with the Shining Force. You win when the Shining Force prevails over its foes!
You are aligned with The Guild. You win when The Guild includes enough members to equate to 50% or more of the total amount of living players.
Wait...how did this happen? Where's Jurassic? He might know what's going on. What about Flicker or Mythic? Let's move down the line...Blackberry? She would know what's going on, wouldn't she?
Blackberry was nowhere to be seen. Strange, since everyone else was in the party and walking together.
While slowly returning towards the campfire once more to prepare their daily gruel, amidst the cloudless skies, a ray of sunlight shone to a nearby rock. Curious by this, Equality and Knot took a look from opposite sides of the large stone before them. What lay on the other side would shock them both, and their screams of happiness and horror filled the stagnant air of the camp behind them.
Blackberry has been killed. Blackberry was...

Dear Blackberry, you are The Merchant.
sfggp18.gif
You are the ever-so-famous merchant. His role in the story is to sell you items and weapons; fix broken rings and weapons; and buy items or weapons that you want to sell for a profit. He pays you quite a bundle for rare items and weapons. And he sure looks like he's stoned right now. It looks like he's staring into space and watching all the pretty colors. He probably gets high off all those medical herbs.
During the night, you may respond to your RolePM with ##Night X: Announce my DEALS like this! [MSG]. You may post up to 500 words in your [MSG], and this will be posted at the beginning of each day phase anonymously.
During the night, you may also respond to your RolePM with ##Night X: Submit forms for [uSER]. You will recruit [uSER] into your The Guild, thus increasing the members you may interact with and communicate with. You may communicate with members of The Guild in the link below.
If you are ever investigated, your alliance will be displayed as that of the town, and your role will be displayed as simply being an announcer.
Also, because you are just a merchant, no one will suspect you of being up to no good, and thus, any attempts to determine what you are doing by targeting you will inevitably bring results which feature nothing out of the ordinary of a common merchant such as yourself. What do they know? They're not merchants, they're warriors!
Need more power? Your first recruit will inherit your guild, should you die! (S)he will not inherit your recruitment ability, however. Also, your guild can never have more than 4 members, including yourself, at any point.
In short, you are the Godfather Ninja Cult Leader Announcer.
You have a Post Restriction in which you are requested to follow. Please make all posts as if:
-Trying to just be helpful and offering your services.
You are aligned with The Guild. You win when The Guild includes enough members to equate to 50% or more of the total amount of living players.
That explains Retina...doesn't it?
This day is far...far different from what was expected. I wonder what Presumption would say?

It is now Day 4. With 7 alive, 4 hammers, and you have 72 hours to do so. Failure to hammer results in a nolynch. Today is also in a state of Potential MYLO; a certain event(s) following a Mislynch could result in a town loss.
Phase ends at 1700 GMT-6 (5pm CST, 6pm EST, etc)

Wait a second, that's not right.

Knot has been lynched. Knot was...

Dear Knot, you are Eric.

You are a centaur, male knight. A well-balanced soldier for the front lines. Starts with the Shining Force in the beginning. Eric has a tendency to have to grow physically stronger Dawn. I don't like him that much because his nose bothers me. Look at it! It's so weird! It's scary!!

sfggp05.gif

During the night, you may respond to your RolePM with ##Night X: Convince people to slack off and play like [PR]. You will convince anyone who visits you that (s)he should take a break, and let their true colors come out. You can force a new post restriction onto said player by specifying in the [PR] area. You may reset this once per night, but its effect will remain constant no matter what you set [PR] as.

You may also post during the night.

In short, you are the Insomniac Reflexive PR-Enabler

You have a Post Restriction in which you are requested to follow. Please make all posts as if:
-You are lazy, and hate your job. You take pride in being a guard, but you don't have much enthusiasm towards bettering yourself, so just act like you don't care too much.

You are aligned with the Shining Force. You win when the Shining Force prevails over its foes!


You still say he deserved it.

It is now Night 4. You have 24 hours to send in any actions you have.

Night 4 ends at 10am GMT+0.
