Easygoing Eyebeast *i Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 There are twelve roles in the game in alphabetical order. Below is information on each role's abilities, skill level, immunities, and victory conditions. Please offer comments below. Adventurer Skill: Stealth Attack: Physical Immune: None Ability: May target one person per day. If that person has any items, you steal one of them (chosen at random). Victory Condition: Kill, by your own hand, two of the following: Dionicio, Necromancer, Gladwell, Anama Priest, Darkside Blademaster, Darkside Mage. Anama Hunter Skill: Standard Attack: Physical Immune: None Ability: May target one person per day. Reveals if that person is in the Anama. While attacking someone in the Anama, your skill level is treated as Power. Victory Condition: Total elimination of the Anama sect. The Anama Priest and all followers must be dead by any means necessary. Anama Priest Skill: Standard Attack: Physical Immune: Magic Ability: May target one person per day. Reveals if that person is a magic user. Victory Condition: Have the number of Anama members outnumber the mages at the end of the game. The magic users are: Shanker, Gladwell, Necromancer, Darkside Mage. Bound Servant Skill: Standard Attack: Physical Immune: None Ability: So long as Gladwell is alive, you are protected from being attacked. This does not apply if you attack someone. Also, when you attack someone under your geas, your skill becomes power for the duration of the battle. Victory Condition: Gladwell dead by any means necessary. Darkside Blademaster Skill: Power Attack: Physical Immune: Physical Ability: None. Victory Condition: All four of the following must be dead, by any means necessary: Adventurer, Dionicio, Shanker, Empire Spy.

If the target decides to attack anyone, his or her attacks will be unable to harm the opponent. Note the curse only affects when the target attacks, not when the target is being attacked. Victory Condition: All four of the following must be dead, by any means necessary: Adventurer, Dionicio, Shanker, Empire Spy.

Must they be identified publicly? Other than that, looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast *i Posted March 22, 2009 Author Share Posted March 22, 2009 As a clarification, no, these are identified to the moderator. I will make sure something gets into the instructions for the player. Of course, Machrone (or anyone else) may identify them publicly. Thanks for looking this over.

Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 I assume the Anama Hunter's skill becomes power for that action, and not permanently, right? A very interesting combination of roles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast *i Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 That is correct. The skill only counts as power when attacking an Anama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Acky Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 I have a question about speaking to other playersabout the roles; is it completely allowed to lie about your own role? The Last Archon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast *i Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 You may say anything you want to other players so long as it does not violate the Code of Conduct. This includes lying about your role. Since this may come up, I'll address it now. You can make in-game threats such as saying you will attack a player if they do not cooperate with you. The line is drawn when things become personal: no name calling, personal insults, racial slurs, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 An admin is running the game. He can ban you in his sleep (since he's done it so many times). So consider how close you want to go towards pushing the envelope with the CoC. Besides you should be able to convince players to help you with threats and not language.

Easygoing Eyebeast *i Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 I will reiterate I give a lot of leeway when it comes to these games. My intent is to not make people be afraid to do things to win. I just remind people that there are still standards and everyone needs to watch themselves because arguments can get heated during these things. The general rule is to not get personal with the game. Randomizer is correct. Generally speaking, personal insults will not motivate people to cooperate with you. For game purposes, who cares if someone gets called a "dirt cheap lying son of a sea horse"? It does not impact the standing in the game one bit. Now being killed by a more powerful character for refusing to cooperate does. Like the rest of these boards, just use common sense and you will be fine.

Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 If the Bound Servant attacks someone, can he be attacked by that person in subsequent rounds or is the counterattack he isn't immune to that role's normal response to being attacked if he or she survives? —Alorael, who is, of course, revealing publicly his role. Everyone take note! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast *i Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 The protective ability of the Bound Servant (and all of Gladwell's subsequent servants) are a strictly defensive thing. It functions much the way wards from Shanker do. When a player tries to attack someone serving Gladwell, the person will get a message that magical wards prevented him or her from reaching the target. The person attacked will not even know the attack happened. What it does not do is offer any offensive protection. If the Bound Servant attacks a power role, he or she will (nominally) end up dead because someone of standard skill cannot harm someone of power skill. Note that there is no protection from traps or the wand of death. These two things kill anyone regardless of any other effects. Fortunately, both the box of traps and the wand of death are one-time use things. To clear up confusion, a counter attack happens automatically if the original attack by the offensive player fails because of a skill mismatch or immunity. If the counter attack fails, then neither character is killed but both know of the attack and who was involved. Anything after that is up to the player.

Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Does the Darkside Mage's curse prevent someone from reaching their target as well, or does the person reach their target but make an unsuccessful attack?

Easygoing Eyebeast Zeviz Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Can Anama members and Gladwell's servants attack their faction leaders? Does Gladwell automatically learn the real role of people he recruits? (If not, how does his compulsion work?) Looks like this will be an interesting game to watch. I have no idea what I would do as some of these characters, so it's interesting to see what strategies players will come up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
