Guild Wars (Game Thread! Finally!)

TreeHuggerPanda

The tree hugger of Hyrule
Hi guys, due to Atsuma's leave, I will be taking over Guild Wars, as your new game mod.

Guild Wars is basically similar to the Mafia game. How so? In several ways, but GW has other twists and special abilities that will help all three teams achieve their goal more easily and not simply rely on mere confusion and voting. I'd read the whole thing if I were you, there is much to know, and it's basically easy to understand. Just go on and read.

How to Play:

The game will have day periods, just like Mafia. Depending on how many people sign up for it, the day periods will vary. Also, game days will become shorter as players are eliminated and few are left standing. All players who sign up for it are considered to be villagers. The object/purpose of the game is survival for all three factions. The Large Village is home not only to villagers (townies) but also to two tough guilds that are fighting for power and control of the village. The two guilds have members who will fight to eliminate the other guild and become the sole power in the village. As to the villagers, they fight to rid the village of guild members, who only have brought trouble, suffering and unwanted death to the village itself.

How the Game can be won or how it can come to an end.
--The game ends when one guild successfully eliminates all members from the opposing guild. The victorious guild will be declared the winners of the game.
--The game ends when the villagers wipe out the two guilds. Villagers become known as the winners when this happens.

Other Important Information to know about the game:

--Every time a guild member dies, he/she will be carrying a clue (A letter found within a guild member's fellow name) That clue will be very important to all factions. Why? Read on. I will use myself and Atsuma as an examples.

Let us say that Atsuma was the guild member that was lynched. The letter found within his corpse was a "U" which points out to guild member me, TreeHuggerPanda. Do you see the "U" within her name? It doesn't tell much, really, because there will be many other names that have U's, but it points to a fellow guild member in a way, thus being a small clue. This can either be helpful to the Villagers if they want to rid the village quickly of guild members, or harmful as well and can cause confusion amongst them, causing them to kill each other by mistake. As to the guilds, they will become suspicious of people who have a U in their name, which will make them assume they've found an opposing guild member.

--When an innocent Villager dies, both guilds will receive $200 in money. Money can only be used by the Village Leader and Guild Leaders. When either of the three factions accumulate a total of $1000, they can either hire a Mercenary, (who works independently) who will kill any member the Village Leader or Guild Leaders desire to be rid of. Or, guild leaders can use the money to upgrade their guild, which means that with it they can rank one of their members higher, like from a simple member to an Assassin, who has the ability to kill anyone he sees as a threat to the guild at the end of the day. A guild can have as many assassins as money permits them to have.

Villagers make money by lynching Guild members successfully. For each kill, the villagers get $200 as well, money that can be used to hire the mercenary or appoint a private investigator, whose role is to find Killers.

--IMPORTANT: When a guild loses one of its members, the other guild will have the right to recruit someone from the Villagers, thus the guild becomes stronger and the other guild becomes weaker, which will add pressure to their survival as the games goes on.

--If a guild leader/village leader dies, the game does not end. The guild will restructure their ranks and will choose another leader, as to the village leader, I will appoint a new one myself.

The Roles of the game:

Roles will be randomly appointed by the Game Master, you don't get to choose a role, you are assigned one to begin with, then as the game goes on, you might be recruited by a guild or made an officer, etc.

Game Mod: That's me, for the first game since I know what I will be doing. I will handle the game and post to update, modkill anyone who edits a post, do the killing for the person that's been accused, etc. Any questions you might have about the game that you don't understand, you contact me, via PM.

Guild Leader: Leader of the guild. He/She will handle all decisions when it comes to his/her guild. These are as follows:

--Is able to use the money to hire a Mercenary.
--Has the ability to name his/her guild before the game starts. (be considerate when choosing a name)
--Will decide the roles for his/her personnel, like deciding who is/are Assassin(s)

Village Leader: He/She is the voice of the villagers, though pretty much his/her role is kept secret. He/She is able to use the money the villagers accumulate in order to hire a Mercenary or make a random villager (of my choosing) a Private Investigator.

Assassin: Is top ranked in the guild just below the leader and well respected. He/she can kill anyone at the end of the day. His/her job is to try to pick off those that he/she thinks is an opposing guild member. An Assassin is most likely to supplant a dead leader, should the leader die.

Mercenary: Works independently and in secret and can be hired to rid the village of anyone. Once his contract is made, I will pm the person with the hitman role and he/she will then pick someone at random to kill. Should he/she die early in the game, I will assign a new hitman at random from the Villagers to keep the money system going.

Private Investigator: His/Her role is like that of a detective, working undercover for the Village Leader. The officer has the ability to pm me a person's name at the end of the day. If that person's name belongs to a Serial Killer, the Serial Killer dies. In case the Officer is able to successfully bring the SK's to justice, he simply wins and acts like a villager for the rest of the game.

Killer: Is pretty much independent and likes killing for fun. At the end of the day, he/she has the ability to pm me a name of a person he/she wishes to kill.

Healer: Is in the village to serve everyone. He/she will pm me at the end of the day two names. If those names belong to any member who is chosen by the Killer(s), then that person is saved. Note: Assassin kills cannot be undone by the doctor's pmed names, an assassin always will kill their target efficiently.

Guild Member: A low ranked member belonging to one of the guilds. He/she acts like a normal villager. Can be upgraded to Assassin.

Villager: Is innocent but also is trying to help clean the village of guild scum. Can be recruited by a guild once an opposing guild loses one of its members. When this happens, I will pm the Villager and let him/her know that he/she's been recruited and will show a list of the guild and it's members. Carries around $400 in money, which is split between the two Guilds when the villager dies.

Alright, to vote for a lynch, or for a member to die, use the same Mafia term:

Post who you want to vote for in the format:
VOTE: PLAYER X
If you wish to unvote at anytime, do so by:
UNVOTE: PLAYER X

(ps, I prefer your vote to be in bold... and in all caps...)

You may vote and unvote at ANY TIME during the DAY period. Only during the Day, remember that. Once a majority vote is reach, that player will be lynched NO MATTER WHAT. So if a majority is reached and you decide to unvote for that person, its too late. PLAYER X will be lynched and his identity, Villager or Guild Member, etc. will be revealed. A player will also be lynched at the end of the day period that constitutes the Day time based on whoever has the most votes, if a majority is not reached.

Once the Day period (after the lynching) is over it becomes the Night. Night won't last long, a day or two at most. During the Night there will be NO ACTIVE DISCUSSIONS. Everyone goes to 'sleep'. This is when the special role players do their thing of killing, saving, etc.

Day will come again, and the identity of any dead persons will be revealed.

This continues until either the Villagers remain, or one of the guilds is left standing triumphant.

Rules:

- DO NOT PM EACH OTHER ABOUT YOUR ROLES. Mystery and assumptions are the point of this game, so if all the villagers band together through PMs you will ruin this game. Play with integrity. Lying is fine though. Guild members may lie that they are Villagers. Deception is a major aspect of this game. Guild members may PM each other, of course.

- DO NOT POST INFORMATION FROM OUTSIDE THE GAME. This means any information, revealing or otherwise, that comes from screenshots of the active user list, IM conversations, or anything. If you post such information, you will be ModKilled.

- You may only post in the Day period.

- Vote and unvote in the format: VOTE: PLAYER X; UNVOTE: PLAYER X

- DO NOT REVEAL ANY INFORMATION AFTER YOU HAVE DIED. If you are a Guild Member and you die, do not reveal to anyone who else is a guild member because that information may end up in the hands of the villagers.

- IF YOU ARE INACTIVE YOU WILL BE MODKILLED. If you do not post at least one time per "day", you WILL be modkilled by me, if I decide to do so.

- DO NOT EDIT YOUR POSTS. DO NOT EDIT YOUR POSTS. I hope I don't have to repeat it again. This is a cardinal rule. Editing your posts is a no no. If you have something more to say, or need to edit a section of your post then MAKE ANOTHER POST saying what you need to say. If you are caught editing, you will be ModKilled.

If you wanna use the Mafia abbreviations, go ahead, I really have none to make up. You don't have to, though, except for the vote/unvote, etc.

Basic Commonly Used Abbreviations/Words
AtE: Appeal to Emotion
BWCS: Best Worst Case Scenario
EBWOP or EBWODP: Edit By Way Of (Double) Post
IoA: Information over Analysis
IwA: Information with Analysis
IGMEOY: I've Got My Eye On You
ISTR: I Seem To Remember
FoS: Finger of Suspicion (When you are not sure enough to vote, use the vote format for this, ie. FoS: Player X)
RVS: Random Voting Stage (usually occurs during the beginning where people vote at random)
Scum/Dirt: Guild Member or anyone else bad (Serial Killer)

Credits:

Most of the Credit for this game goes to Viral Maze and Axle for posting it here, etc. And part belongs to Atsuma since he came up with the ranks, the upgrading/rank system, money system, clue system, recruiting system, etc.

And a little part goes to me for offering to step in a be the new game mod and such :3

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

Day will end on Tuesday, August 24th.

ANNNND... If you did NOT receive a PM from me, you are just a villager.

Eight of you are in the Guilds. Among them, one of you is the village leader, the healer, the private investigator, the killer, and... the rest of you... are simple villagers.

Now, with that being said, I will now start the intro.

In the village of Eden, the mornings were usually boring and plain, but one day, when the villagers woke up, they noticed every villager was gone, except 22! They found a note tacked onto a pile of lifeless bodies.

We are the Venomous Snake! Until the Poisonous Pandas are dead, we will strike when the night comes.

~VS

Other villagers noticed a note tacked on the bulletin board.

We are the Poisonous Pandas! Fear us, Venomous Snake members! We will strike again, when the day us over.

~PP

As some villagers came to retrieve water, a couple villagers found a note in the central well.

I am the Killer. I am not working for anyone. I might help the villagers, I might help the guilds, who knows?

~ K

With mystery surrounding the once peaceful Village of Eden, who will survive? Who will be lynched? Who will be killed in the night? Who is in the guilds? Who is the killer?

All of the questions will be answered in time, as the Village of Eden is faced with a difficult situation.

Yay! Guild Wars! It's finally here! I'll be back with my thinking on who the Guild members are after more people post.

Arent people coming? Vote:ShiekiahWarrior

I swear I didn't edit that!This happened in Mafia too!Whenever someone posts after they post without someone posting inbetween,it adds the second post as a part of the first post,and counts it as an edit!

Well... I wasn't sure about voting, but when you start explaining how to vote an RVS etc. I just thought something like "ok".

And why people vote in the first post is just because it starts the game. If you begin voting, other people (like you this time) will start a discussion.. and btw, I would probably change my vote later because this one was just a random vote.

Look at this: "RVS: Random Voting Stage (usually occurs during the beginning where people vote at random)"
I don't understand why this makes me suspicious, like Atsuma/THP already said, in the beginning of the game you know nothing, and I remember in the last game you did like you was innocent and said the same things like you did now, but eventually you was the serial killer... so I don't see what makes me suspicious?

you are accusing me of things you are doing either. I did a Random Vote, but you are just trying to make me suspicious, but there is no evidence so why would you? We are doing RVS because we have no evidence at the beginning. And I'm not the only one, Dracomajora and Composerbrother are doing the same thing, are we all Guild members now because we did a random vote??

Hmm you could be just fir the sake to can unactive players, i was the assassian last game, and thast hat i was going after. But in right in teh beginning you are post to wait for some evidance but like near teh end of teh day then, thats when you start RVS not in the very VERY begining so you do have to wait for some people to smother their ways out...

RVS: TheGreen, he's somewhere in the middle of the list, so is a better possibility as someone at the edges of the list. :xd:

not really, to little people have posted yet, and btw it's just an RVS

I think you're right.

I dunno why but you've kinda convinced me voting TheGreen

Vote: TheGreen (RVS)

lolol
Yay! I win the random prize!

Even though I'm the victim of it, I fully support the RVS. It's a necessary part of the game. Also if everyone comes on here saying "oh no one is doing anything suspicious" then we wouldn't get anywhere.
[but please don't vote for me XP]
