I'm launching this so soon mostly because I don't think I'm actually running it, just doing a small test to see if it possible.

Basically sign up and immediately send me a role, I might give them to somebody else or do something else entirely, not sure yet.

EDIT:Just a clarification, despite you being supposed to send me a role pm, this is more of a "pick a character/magic card" game, the role you send will be used to determine your role, but it won't be a 1 to 1 match.

Players(send your role to join)
1)JayDreven
2)Zinger2099
3)King of Dominaria
4)duskyblue
5)m0nster
6)aaarrrgh
7)Skystone

Rapid fire.

Just testing the waters to see how some self made pms could look like, game will probably launch some months from now since it was unannounced until recently and somebody else probably had plans for running a game, or not at all if pretty much all the pms I receive are just unworkable.

Ah. The ultimate test of a good creator. I like it.

I fondly remember this one time I gave Zinger a card to translate into a mafia ability.

I threw down. He picked that up and threw it right back at me. Outdid himself he did.

I may or may not have done that right.

if the mod had the right of veto and basically worked with the player to create a role (that another player would receive) that would be conducive towards a fun (or at the very least functional) game experience then this could be a really interesting practice i think.

allowing unlimited griefing probably makes the game entirely non-functional though.

The one concern I can see is that, if every player made the role of another player, what happens when claims come out?

Player 1: I am a specialized Cop who learns the alignment of any player I target, and I can target N players per Night, where N is the number of Mafia in the game minus the number of dead Towns.
Player 2: Wow, that's the role I came up with! You must be telling the truth.

I guess if HW randomizes alignments rather than chooses alignments based on what makes sense for the provided roles, it might mitigate that from being a problem, though it would still mean role claims can be corroborated easily. Wether or not that is a problem, not sure.

That assumes I'm giving players other players roles.

Well I guess I'm locking your submission so you don't try submitting something that could cause too much grief. The role you sent me seems workable.

So what you're saying is I need to go find a character/magic card to fit the role I've already sent you?

So this is probably going to be a real game, imagine it as one of those mafia games where you pick a character or something and get a role flavored about it, only instead of sending your choice of a character, you send a role PM, you can still make that pm have the flavor of a character tho.

EG: Sent pm:
Quote:
insert flavor here.

You are vanilla.



Possible role you could receive:
Quote:
Despite what your family kept saying when you were younger, you never accepted that you couldn't strive to be something better than a single flavored vanilla flavored ice cream.
Thus, on the summer solstice, you forfeit your humanity sending a request to an eldritch entity so that you could become a multiflavored ice cream.
You are now a mafia aligned vanilla and virgin blood ice cream.
[vanilla]: (passive) you return as a vanilla to role cops.
[virgin blood]:Whenever you perform the mafia night kill, you become bulletproof for that night an the next one.

The mafia thread is there:LINK.
You win with the mafia.

In but still confused. Can I just send a card, or do I first have to make a role out of it, then you make a different role out of that?

I don't know the parameters. I used what was stated thus far, and am officially in.

As far as I understand, we do design a role, but then the mod redesigns it to fit into the larger scope of the game.

I'm not sure though if we get our own roles back or if they are assigned randomly?

Either way, /in.
