Ball Pit Mafia Sign-ups(2/19) Archived due to host permaban

[Yomiel]

"It's all fun and games until a plastic ball comes to life and ends you."

It used to be that ball pits were places of fun and delight. But in the modern era, children prefer to play with their video games and pursue other types of electronic entertainment. As if that wasn't bad enough, ball pits all over the country are being closed down and replaced with elaborate play areas-monstrosities made of enlarged plastic tubing. To clear out the colorful plastic balls, the humans have thrown in balls that don't belong to take care of them. But the balls in one pit are not going down without a fight. It's time for the ultimate battle between human and sphere-Friend and Foe,-and it's not going to be pretty...or safe for ages 3 and up.

-------------------------------------------------

[spoiler=GUIDE]Here is my game goes:


-First, there will be a sign-up period. If you want to join in, now's your chance. Should you change your mind, make it clear you no longer want to play. Don't just delete your sign-up post, disappear, or spring it on me at the last minute.

-When enough people have signed up, the game will start. Each player will get a PM from me, telling them what their role is and explaining any abilities they might have.

-All times will be EST. Day Phase will start and last no more than a week. If a majority is reached in the voting, I will end it sooner. During this phase, vote for who you want to see thrown out of the ball pit or for no one to be. You can only vote for a different player if you unvote the one you already voted for. Both of these MUST be in bold and in RED, and you
MUST state who you are unvoting, or I will not count it. Ties will be broken with a program like Randomizer. If you can and would like to use one of your role abilities, PM me accordingly. When you do, please be clear and include something in the title that references your role/action. This makes it easier for me. Also, note that the order in which actions are sent in
is irrelevant, unless it is stated otherwise.

-Night Phase starts when Day Phase ends and at most will last two days. During this time, the Foes will choose a person to throw out of the ball pit. The Godfather or whichever Foe role has the ability to do that, must PM me their choice, or no
one will be tossed away. If you can and would like to use one of your role abilities, PM me. If you do not wish to act,
please tell me so. Night can end early if everyone has finished. As mentioned above, the order actions are sent in is
irrelevant.

-A Night post will be made, usually informing players who was thrown out and what their role was, while vaguely mentioning other things that happened during the phase. Day will then begin again.

-The game continues and will usually only end when either the Foes have outnumbered the Friends or the Friends have eliminated all the Foes. However, there are other roles that many also claim victory along with the winnning side.

-There are three types of roles(Friend, Foe, and Independant).[/spoiler]

[spoiler=RULES]Rules:

-Only sign up if you are sure you can and want to play. Replacing people is a pain, especially when the game is a bit more
complicated.

your role states otherwise.

-If you are inactive for two in-game turns, you will be replaced.

-No cheating or game-breaking, obviously-this includes mass-claiming. Doing either may result in you being replaced and
barred from my future games.

this as well, if they are unsure about something.

-Unlike votes, actions can't be taken back.

-No editing or deleting posts.

Ah nostalgia, so very colorful....
I'll sign up.

[Yomiel]

Glad to hear it.^^ I hope we'll get enough players soon!

[Nebuchadnezer]

Since you've posted all 19 possible roles...how does a mass claim on day one not end in a town win? You may want to rethink this setup...

[Yomiel]

Well, it was stated that mass-claiming is against the rules. Also, it would be pretty reckless. First, because you can never be sure who is lying. Second, the Mafia aren't the only ones who will want to keep their roles secret. The White Ball won't want the Cue Ball killed. And the independent roles have their own win conditions to think about. Third, it's just poor playing to do something like that.

You going to sign up?

[jonty125]

In please.
