Shadow Phalla: Return of the Wagon

1929, November

A letter arrives in the mail
Greetings,
I do hope this finds you well, if not good. More pressing matters are at hand. You see we have the Reverse Demon Gate ritual once again. However I find myself bored of the plotting and unexpected interruptions. So this time I will let others decide and I shall amuse myself with your confusion, pain and hopefully in some cases the death of a trapped animal. You will find yourself helpless in this. I'm sure by now you have noticed the burning sensation. It is a long forgotten and certainly forbidden ritual. Well it is more of a geas if you will. Attend my little game before the end of November or your blood will burn itself free. West of Shang-Hi in the mountains of Lost Hope. See you at what will hopefully be the commencement of a New Dawn, with me beside an Older God.

Your host,
Roger Bacon

Rules:

Vote closes at 12:00AM midnight (-5 GMT) as stamped by the forum

Votes are to be entered in Bold Red, edited posts will not be counted

Clarifications are to be entered in Bold Orange

Sir Bacon will not accept anyone using these colors out of context. Furthermore once you vote your ballot is cast. You may simply re-vote using Bold Red but otherwise once you vote you are unable to NOT vote.

All power usage must be sent to Trueneverborn with the subject line "Playersname-Dayacting." [IE:TrueNeverBorn-Day1] Except for rituals (explained below) all actions must be received by 11:00PM (-5 GMT). Like voting, latest PM received is the one I will go by. I am trying to get a PM pre-log going so I can tally votes quicker and get a narrative out before 1AM.

Any rituals began must be used, they CANNOT be canceled. You may change your designated target ONCE per day. This restriction is due to the time it takes to do a ritual. As such, all rituals are considered active simultaneously. Yes there is a “what beats what” but I am unable to say as it is a mechanic. Due to this restriction and the cleanliness of PMs I WILL be accepting ritual PMs till Vote Close at 12:00AM (-5 GMT).

Simple Disclaimer, ALL rules are in ADDITION to those outlined in the "Crit Fail Phalla Signup" thread. Should anyone wish to use a Proboard I ask you send me a PM subject line, "Shadow Pro" and be allowed to access all related forums. Not that I see it as necessary or that people are straight out cheating. It is simply a preference.

Roger Bacon

Age: 43
Nationality: ??
Class: Dark
Voice: ??

A British warlock who uses powerful magic. He is calm, collected, and calls himself Roger Bacon. If that is true, he is the legendary alchemist, but...

Fan based database

Later modifications/clarifications will appear below in Bold Orange:

All I will say is Shadow Hearts is a game of intrigue and there are a couple of groups trying to stop the end of the world, Reverse Demon Gate.

Roger Bacon will be portrayed as he is in the game, he NEVER backs down on his word.

Action order WILL be hinted at in narration as instances come up.

Roger Bacon likes death, in event of a tie he may just kill both. He also has stated he is bored so he may simply vote himself against one who isn't amusing him.

Trickle down: "All actions have a reaction"

Conversions?: People will possess abilities, I will sadly not tell you what ANYONE can do. You are entering the unknown, as is typical with Roger Bacon.

Win conditions are static, though there are a few possible ways to change things.

Yes, if you never vote you have effectively abstained.

Once the game begins any misuse of Red and Orange may be what tips a tie. If one of those people in the tie misused one of the colors.

Inactivity: I consider at least one post active. Inactivity may result in a switch of vote. IE: Bacon inquistions you instead of the one voted for.

There are standard Vanillager and Mafia pms.

So if you love games and I love games... Why are we not playing... **sees the forum** OOOOHHHH Yeh!

    This counts as a Main, since it was signed up in the Sign-up thread as a Main game, and there were no other games in 'ready' status. Such is the nature of the sign-up list these days. Of course, I did a light background check before giving the go-ahead, and he's had a few games experience under his belt, so I'll trust him to run a game.

    The idea that your vote is a moral statement about you or who you vote for is some backwards ass libertarian nonsense. Your vote is about society. Vote to protect the vulnerable.

    Is this a traditional or faction game?

    Can we trust communications from the host? Can you trust your masons, if you have any?

    What is the order of actions?

    What happens in the event of a tied vote?

    Is there trickle-down?

    Are there conversions?

    Are win conditions able to be changed during play?

    Yes I'm an awesome host, burnage wins (not really) But I would also like to take this moment to note that once the game begins any misuse of Red and Orange may be what tips a tie. If one of those people in the tie misused one of the colors.
