Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

This game uses very unusual mechanics. Please read the rules before signing up. Of particular note, this is a mostly free for all game rather than a village vs mafia or even a faction game; though you might ally with other players your victory conditions are often mutually exclusive and nothing stops your ally from backstabbing you.
Spectrum has kindly agreed to assist with the game. He knows My-Hime at least as well as me, so feel free to ask him questions about the setting or the game using Cyan.
The warning sounds fun, but what's My-Hime?
Mechanics
There are two main types of roles in this game. Himes have various powers, and also a numerical combat strength. Each day they may attack or guard one target, and combat is resolved based on relative strengths (see below). If a Hime is defeated in combat, their Most Important Person dies and they are stripped of all their powers (but not killed), and their identity will be revealed in the narration. If their Most Important Person is killed, the Hime is stripped of all powers.
Most Important People are otherwise normal people who are (un)fortunate enough to be deeply cared about by a Hime. Whether family, friends, or romantic interests, the result is the same; if the Hime is defeated in combat the associated person will be struck dead. If the person is killed by other means, their Hime will be rendered powerless and considered defeated. Defeated hime can still vote and post but are not subject to inactivity requirements, and will not be replaced with reserves. There is a resurrection mechanic in play, so staying active might pay off.
There are also a few unique roles not in either category.
Each day all living players vote for a suspicious player to confront. At the end of the day, the player with the most votes has his identity publicly revealed.
This game has no mafia in the traditional sense. If you consider mafia to be groups with a victory condition involving wiping out most other players, than almost every single player in the game is mafia.
It's also important to note that, though all Hime have an associated Most Important Person, players are not evenly divided into groups of two by these relationships. The two role types are also not mutually exclusive, and some hime have most important people not represented by a player.
Combat (basic)
All Hime begin the game with combat strengths ranging from 2 to 7. If one Hime attacks another Hime, or a Hime attacks a player being guarded by another Hime, the two will fight. If the attacker's strength is greater then the defender, the defending Hime is defeated. If the Defender's strength is at least two greater than the attacker's, the attacker is defeated. If neither is true, the attacker is able to retreat.
If a Hime causes the defeat of another Hime, either in combat or by killing the other Hime's most important person, their child absorbs the power of the defeated Hime's child. The victorious Hime gains an additional 2 combat strength.
Combat (Advanced)
This section covers more complex combat situations that could possibly arise.
I'm looking for 24 players, and reserves are always welcome.

Usual phalla rules apply. No copy/pasting or screencaping of role PMs, no anonymous communication, and PM me all proboard links. In addition, you may not ask another player about the contents of their role PM (In particular, no role calls, as this would throw game balance straight out the window). You may still provide your identity and paraphrase your abilities to others if you wish.
Signups are in Lime. Votes are in Red. Requests for clarification should be in Orange. If you have a question on the setting, ask in Cyan and Spectrum has kindly volunteered to answer; while I've made changes for the sake of balance and simplicity, I tried to stay true to the anime when possible, so knowledge of the series might help you figure out aspects of the game.
Vote close is at 11:00 PM Pacific.

Kime you can't sign up for a game called My-Hime or else it'll be My-Kime.
Or at least you can't be alive for long.
Muahahaha, a game based on me!
Edit: I actually see "kime" every time I see that name...

Damn it, now I can't help but see it either.
Welcome to the thread. Take a ticket, sit down, the line is slow-going.
He earns his name.
A hime is always in contact with her personal MIP and vice versa, yes.
No more cake for Kime.
Because this hasn't happened before.... :wink:

This phalla Before-Kime and After-Kime.
So, My Hime, huh? The Hime franchise is pretty big. I'm confuuuuuuused. What do I need to learn about?
Never fear, neonate. I am here for you.
What this game will definitely draw from:
My Hime, the anime
What this game may draw from, but probably not:
My Hime supplementals, such as Natsuki's Prelude or the artbooks
What this game won't draw from:
My Hime, the manga
My Hime Destiny, the novel
My Otome, the anime (which beel has so helpfully provided screencaps from)
My Otome, the manga
That's great, Spectrum. What the hell is all this?
All in due time.
My Hime, the anime, is a 26 episode rollercoaster deconstruction of the magical girl genre. It's got comedy, action, drama, character development, romance triangles, and a plot that isn't a complete mess. It's my second favorite anime and if you do or say bad things I will be sad.
There are some supplementals that can be hard to find but, to be honest, are unlikely to be needed. If you find yourself liking the series, however, hit me up in IRC and I can link you Natsuki's Prelude. The first half covers up to right before Episode 1 of the anime, while the second half takes place in the middle of the series.
My Hime, the manga, is a completely different plot from the manga. It's far, far, far more about the romance triangles, the characters are unrecognizable from the anime, and it's worse. You don't need to know anything about it for the purposes of this game.
My Hime Destiny is, again, a completely different plot. It, however, focuses on a new character not in either the anime or the manga, but the character relationships are somewhat closer to the anime.
My Otome, the anime, is set in an entirely different universe and is about a finishing school where young maidens are turned into instruments of war used by countries the world over to fight proxy wars. An argument can be made that the character developments seen in My Hime, the anime, continue into My Otome, the anime, allowing for the different circumstances. It's pretty crap, to be honest.
(For the sake of completeness, I will mention that My Otome got a sequel OVA, My Otome Zwei, and a prequel OVA, My Otome Sifr, but they hurt my brain to even think about so let's not go there, okay?)
My Otome, the manga, is a different take on the same universe as the anime. The main character focus is far, far different, the plot emphasis is different (the manga is more about political intrigues while the anime is more about the main character's maturation), AND it is in fact somewhat of a sequel to My Hime, the manga. It's surprisingly non-terrible.
So, too lazy to do the research? Allergic to all this 'weeaboo bullshit'? (What are you doing here?) Ask away. Basic character introductions, plot synopsis, theme analysis. Anything's fair game.
Spectrum, you talk alot.
No cake for you.
I am also drinking at work.

Somewhere in the back of my head a voice is screaming because I'm going to have to learn to spell "Delphinidaes".
Sign Up!
Even though I'm terrible at them. One of these days I'm going to fail my way to good.
But blue dotted...will be fun to watch.
See I figured I could win this is three days. Where are Burnage and Thelawinator?
