Curse of Ret-Talus
Round VIII Sign Ups

If you don't know what the "Curse of Ret-Talus" is, you should stop reading right now and check out the rules, found here (http://www.plaidhatgames.com/sum_forums/showthread.php?t=708), or the previous games, or better yet, both!

If you already know what you're in for and are still interested in playing, now is the time to sign-up. Registration will be open thru 11:00PM (EST) Friday, September 9th. This round of CoRT games includes two game options: 'Basic' CoRT (mandatory for first-timers), and 'Advnaced CoRT (for those who’re more experienced)'. Identity PMs for all games should go out by Sunday (September 11th), and the games will start Monday, September 12th (at the latest). I don't currently know how many caves there will be, but game sizes will be limited to 24 players maximim (including host).




GAME-PLAY TIMETABLES will be set by individual Storytellers immediately before the games begin. Games hosted by me (Jebuh214) will follow the schedule below, and I recommend it as a standard:

Caves:

DAYS will last 2 real world days.
NIGHTS will last 1 real world days.

...but again, individual Storytellers are free to set their own schedules, so long as there are at least 24-hours in each NIGHT and 24-72 hours in each DAY.

And now for the fine print. If all my typing puts you to sleep, just make sure you are aware of the SUMMARY in BOLD BLUE below. If you want to sign-up, you need to do 5 things (I know, it sounds like work, but bear with me...)


1) Decide what TYPE of game you want to play. Your options are: ‘basic’ CoRT OR the ‘advanced’ CoRT game. You may only enter the 'advanced' game if you have previously played in a 'basic', or 'basic+' game hosted here in these forums, no exceptions. If you're not sure you have the time or sanity to keep up with an 'advanced' game, then go with 'basic' CoRT instead. If you're not sure you have the time to play at all, please don't register.
2) Send a PM to me (Jebuh214 (http://www.heroscapers.com/community/private.php?do=newpm&u=132)) noting your desire to join, AND your choice of basic CoRT, or ‘advanced’ CoRT.
3) Unless you want to play a 'random' character, post your preference in this thread and PM me with the character you'd like to 'play'. Characters are first-come, first-served. If someone else has already 'claimed' a character you wanted, list a 'second choice' instead. Players who have not chosen a character by Friday, August 5th (or want a random choice) will be assigned a random identity by me before the games start, and will receive one extra end-game 'roleplay' vote.
4) I may need to move players from their first choice game type to a different game to meet minimum player levels and/or to ensure the games are similarly-sized. If you would be willing to volunteer to be moved from your 'first choice' registration into the other game type if the need arises, state in this thread (or your entry PM) that you are FLEXIBLE. If it becomes necessary, I will select the minimum number of FLEXIBLE volunteers and move them into the other game first; the rest will hopefully be left in their 'preferred' game(s). Though FLEXIBLE players will be moved first, be warned that I may still have to move others around if I run out of FLEXIBLE players. Any players (FLEXIBLE volunteers or otherwise) who ARE moved into a different game will receive one extra post-game vote in the 'most-fun' category for their game as compensation.
5) If you have regular, FACE-TO-FACE contact with another member of this forum who will be playing, PLEASE NOTIFY ME of both your identities so that I can try to put you in different games. You might think you want to play in the same game as one of your 'R-L buddies', but unless you are willing to be extremely careful to make sure that NEITHER of you CHEATS, you're just asking for trouble. If you plan on letting any other player(s) NEAR your computer anytime during this game, just tell me, and I'll put you in different games. If you choose to play in a game with someone else you 'know' in real-life, CONSIDER YOURSELF WARNED. Anyone who flubs up (deliberately or accidentally), gives away their role or learns someone else's, and spoils the game for everyone WILL be considered CHEATING and will be PERMANENTLY BANNED from future participation in CoN games here in the forums. If you can be responsible for your actions and take measures to safeguard the game for everyone's enjoyment, you can play with whomever you wish, but you WILL be held accountable if you screw up. If you don't think you can handle it, it's much safer to just let me know so I can split you up. ...'Nuff said.
NOTE: Another registration option is UBER-FLEXIBLE. Anyone registering as "UBER-FLEXIBLE" is expressing no game preference whatsoever, and will be placed after registration closes into whichever game needs them the most. Such players will automatically get the one extra 'bonus' post-game vote in the "Most Fun" category, no matter which game they are eventually given. Furthermore, players registering as RANDOM UBER-FLEXIBLE will similarly get one extra post-game vote in BOTH the "Most Fun" and "Best RolePlayer" categories.
So, recapping:

Send me a PM, noting your choice of game ('basic' or advanced)
...then post your character pick in this thread (if any)
...then note if you are FLEXIBLE (in case I need to move folks around)
...then tell me what other players (if any) I need to keep OUT of your game due to privacy issues.

Final Note: SIDEBOARDING:
As if registration wasn't complicated enough, there's also the SIDEBOARDING issue. First-time players can ignore this section, and veterans should know all about the purpose and function, so I'll not rehash it here. If you are an experienced player (minimum of 3 games played, one of which must be an advanced), you may volunteer as a SIDEBOARD potential to replace any players that drop out due to inactivity. Note this in your registration PM to me and in this thread, stating clearly if you are EAGER to play if the opportunity arises, or if you are just WILLING to play, but only if absolutely needed. Please, DO NOT volunteer as a sideboard candidate unless you are absolutely certain that you can handle playing in both games simultaneously, if needed.

If you are in the host queue (below) and want to be a Storyteller for the basic or Advanced game, post here or PM me to let me know. First choice will be given to willing hosts starting at the top of this list and moving down. If you want to play instead, or won't be in this round at all, also let me know, so I can skip your name and seek the next willing victim, *cough* I mean volunteer. You must have played in at least 2 previous CoRT games (of any type) before you may sign-up to be a Storyteller...



Top Storyteller Candidates:

the mouth of sauron

That's all for now. Let the registration begin! I will try to keep the following list updated and fairly current. It is each player's responsibility to check this list and make sure they are registered properly. I have been known to (occassionally) misread players' intentions, so double-check to make sure your preferences were understood...

REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN
Until September 9th, at 23:00hrs (11:00PM) EST

Extermely tempted to join...I may, but not sure yet.

Also I am probably willing to storytell otherwise, although I'm not on that list, and I guess I haven't played in 2 CoRT games. (I have plenty of experience with CoN, and I've hosted 2 games before...)

So yeah anyhow...probably gonna sign up, but I'm going to let myself get into the swing of college first before committing.

I posted on the other thread I wanted to reserve the next storytelling position. However, I have changed the name of the game.

I have an Advanced Game ready, called Tundle's Counterattack.

If it is also permissible (and necessary), I will have a Basic+ game ready.

We could set up a poll for whether or not we should use the role(after one game, hehe).

KCU Master 2007

We could set up a poll for whether or not we should use the role(after one game, hehe).

Well...the role was used over on Scapers as well, so we know it was retired for a reason. The last game gave us a quick look at why. Personally, as the only Merc on this site so far, I think it should be either retired or modified to say that if he survives until the end of the game he wins with whichever team was supposed to win.

As it stands, it becomes too easy to survive and be the sole winner. At the very least, we need to have a counter to the Merc that should be in the game somehow...maybe that would be just as fun. If we had a counter Merc that could either hunt him or nullify the Merc win by also surviving that would be good I think. Those two roles would have to be used simultaneously though.

Possibly some kind of bounty hounter? A normal warrior who nullifies the mercenary. Something for the mercenary to hunt for and root out.

I suppose I agree, for now we should leave it out of games, unless we come up with a good counter-part or change it somehow.

Maybe something along the lines of

You are the bounty hunter, and the mercenary is your prey. Each night, you may PM the storyteller one name, and you will receive a response of either "mercenary" or "not the mercenary". Also, once per game, you may PM the storyteller one name with the command "kill". That person will die the following night. If both of you are alive at the game's end, you both lose. If you kill him, you will win with whoever else wins. If he dies, but not by your hand, you win only if the warriors win.

Thoughts?

It gives the mercenary something to worry about specifically. It introduces a nice sub game of bounty hunter vs mercenary along side the normal game of zombies vs warriors.

We would have to allow the Merc to die only by the Bounty Hunter though. As it stands, the Merc can't be killed at night by anyone EXCEPT being visioned by the real visionary.

Can you rephrase that? I don't get what you mean.

draggash
09-01-2011, 01:16 PM
MERCENARY... Because his own tremendous magical powers make him immune to the magical attacks, the Mercenary cannot be killed by the Zombies (or the Rogue or Reliquary) at NIGHT. With respect to ending the game and to the Empath's power, the Mercenary is considered to be a Warrior, and he can still vote with and be killed by the rest of the players during the DAY. If the Visionary asks the identity of the Mercenary player during the NIGHT, the vision will reveal him to be a Warrior, but the backlash from the brief magical connection with the Mercenary will overload the nervous system of the Mercenary! This causes the Mercenary to die.

The relevant rules section

Killer Lawnmower
09-01-2011, 01:21 PM
Mercenary - This Warrior enjoys causing trouble for everyone. He has no side, merely wishing to play the game without a care as to whom wins or loses. The Mercenary has only one victory condition: To Remain Un-Paralyzed. If the Mercenary is paralyzed by a DAY Vote, the Mercenary loses regardless of which side wins. If the Mercenary is visioned by the true Visionary, the Mercenary is paralyzed at the conclusion of that NIGHT. If the Mercenary is sentineled by the Zombies' Sentinel, the Mercenary is paralyzed at the conclusion of that NIGHT. If the game ends and the Mercenary is not paralyzed, the Mercenary shares the victory of whichever side won.

Bounty Hunter – This warrior has one job: find the Mercenary. Once per NIGHT, if the Bounty Hunter has not been paralyzed, the Bounty Hunter may contact the storyteller and ask the identity of one player. The storyteller will reply with “Mercenary” or “Not the Mercenary.” However, the reward of power is sometimes too great to refuse. If the Mercenary has successfully been paralyzed, the Bounty Hunter considers his contract terminated, and can choose to renew his contract with the Warriors and hunt down the Zombies, or choose to join them!

What's this sound like?

chardris77
09-01-2011, 01:26 PM
Why is your bounty hunter looking for the merc? If he finds him, he can't kill him.

I like the BH being able to select his side when the merc dies, but then how would a vision of the bounty hunter come across while the merc lives?

Also, how would the BH know the merc died if he hadn't found him yet?

Killer Lawnmower
09-01-2011, 01:32 PM
All your answers coming up...soon.

Bounty Hunter – This warrior has one job: find the Mercenary. Once per NIGHT, if the Bounty Hunter has not been paralyzed, the Bounty Hunter may contact the storyteller and ask the identity of one player. The storyteller will reply with “Mercenary” or “Not the Mercenary.” Also, once per game(at night), the Bounty Hunter may contact the storyteller asking to paralyze one player. The target of that command will be found with any other bodies that night. If the Mercenary dies by the hands of another, the Bounty Hunter will be contacted the next night by the storyteller that the Mercenary has been terminated and his contract is also terminated. However, the reward of power is sometimes too great to refuse. If the Mercenary has successfully been paralyzed, the Bounty Hunter considers his contract terminated, and can choose to renew his contract with the Warriors and hunt down the Zombies, or choose to join them!

So he is warrior aligned until the Mercenary dies, and he would be contacted by the storyteller the following night if the Mercenary died from other causes. So if the Mercenary died Night 2 the BH would be contacted Night 3. Then there would be indecision as to who actually was the Mercenary(not that it really matters once they're dead, just another little twist).

If the game ends and the Mercenary is not paralyzed, the Mercenary shares the victory of whichever side won.

Goal? Appear unthreatening to zombies and players alike. Prevent the Bounty Hunter from turning the warriors against him
Altercations? The bounty hunter.

The storyteller will reply with “Mercenary” or “Not the Mercenary.” If the Mercenary is not paralyzed at the end of the game or if the Zombies win, the Bounty Hunter looses.

Goal? Find the Mercenary, then convince the Warriors to kill him.
Altercations? Announcing the mercenary gives the zombies an ignorable target making the game easier for them and harder for the bounty hunter



- This way the Bounty hunter is forced to hunt the mercenary with what few powers he has. Assuming the "mercenary" roll wins with the winner, then this should lead to some fun debates when the bounty hunter tries to trick the warriors into killing him. Though the mercenary should loose the "killed by visioning" trait, because the attention the bounty hunter will draw to the mercenary is likely to get thier attention.

Okay, there's some good points draggash. That's what I liked about mine. He had to try and convince everyone else that he is the BH and that so-and-so is the Merc. And then he suddenly changes sides and goes against the warriors. And I think it's somewhat able to fake by the Zombies. They could say "I'm the BH and ____ is the Merc, so you should kill him, even though ____ isn't the Merc.

I think this BH is the best so far. The question now is, how to implement it. In other words,

If there is a merc, must there be a BH?
Does BH count as one of the roles?
If both of the above are answered yes, and the merc is the last of the randomly selected roles, then what?
Etc.

Yes he would be a warrior to begin with. If he were neither, either side would be at his mercy. That's not fair, basically.

KCU Master 2007

I think he should choose his side just like the rogue a the beginning of the game OR he wins with whoever wins the game should the Merc be killed.

I don't know about this, guys. The whole thing could ruin it. Namely, the fact that the BH would be killing the Merc, and that would just tip the scales towards the Zombies. Because, seeing as how the Merc would be a Warrior, having the BH kill him would eliminate a Warrior.

Heard about the games from a friend on here, and, since I'm really into roleplaying and having trouble finding a forum which does it well, this looked awesome.

Sorry I haven't posted much - I don't really know that much about summoner wars, and the non-SW parts of the forum seem rather empty (with the exclusion of the forum games). :)

I'm friends with Draggash, and by extension Rolocookie :) He happened to be explaining the game on here, and I said it sounded like a forum version of Werewolves of Millers Hollow, only with more of a theme. From what I've seen, the last game looked really good.

So - anything I should know about the game or the forum that I wouldn't have learned from the rules?

Well, Curse of Ret-Talus was stolen from "Curse of Ne-Gok-Sa" over on heroscapers.com, which has about, ehhh, twice as many active players as we do. Approximately. Right now there's a 33? player game going on.

And I don't think there have been any rule changes. I think we're still working on the Mercenary role though.

Yeah, I love roleplaying - avid tabletop RP-er. I really wish more forums would have sustained, active roleplaying sections, as since finishing university, it's hard to find people to play with. So if anyone can recommend any good ones - please do!

I'm friends with Draggash, and by extension Rolocookie :) He happened to be explaining the game on here, and I said it sounded like a forum version of Werewolves of Millers Hollow, only with more of a theme. From what I've seen, the last game looked really good.

So - anything I should know about the game or the forum that I wouldn't have learned from the rules?

Rule #1 Don't trust anyone

Rule #2 Private messaging is used for both good and evil purposes

Rule #3 Anything can be faked. Don't trust anyone.

Rule #4 Voting patterns are vitally important.

Rule #5 Don't trust anyone

I'm sure there's more but that's all I have for now.

Dysole had a good list, but he kinda missed out on some other important points:

--Remain active, and post your thoughts.

--Always vote, know the deadline and get your vote in

And most importantly: --Have fun!

Hehe, thanks for the advice ;)

I can foresee this being amazingly fun, so no worries on the having fun front. If it's as fun as I think it'll be, I'll be checking for updates every hour or so!
And trusting no-one? I can do that. Skepticism is always interesting.

Probably sounding like a bit of a newbie (but hey, that's kinda what I am to this), but what do you mean by voting patterns?

How people vote. Why they vote like they do. Does their vote match up with past thoughts from them. Who doesn't vote with who because they are Zombies and want to separate themselves from each other.

Something like that.

Edit: Soooo Ranior. Decided to join yet?

Yeah...he basically got it. Voting patterns are interesting though. I also love to pay attention to when people vote--is it always the deciding vote, just minutes before the deadline? That can say a lot. Also who is voting first, who is trying to push or sway public attention?

And otherwise just watching where people vote. If the votes are really split over like 5-6 people, usually zombies will spread their votes. That can help in figuring out likely teams. If only three people vote for x and there are three zombies, it's highly unlikely they'd group themselves publicly like that.

And finally--I have not decided yet. I am quite tempted, but we'll see. Unlike HSers, it seems like this site still has a lot of interested players, who keep up and are generally on time and are usually active. So I am quite tempted, but we'll see if I join or not.

Dysole also forgot:

Always make sure you have a reason for your vote. If you can't think of one, you're probably being manipulated.

Don't fake roles if you're a Normal Warrior. You'll mess everybody up.

Don't overreact if somebody forges a PM. It's part of the game.

Don't trust anyone.

Also, I'm not really sure why I'm not on the lists, but I'll switch to Random Uberflexible for community benefit.

In case you haven't figured out, petal, Dysole's one of the most-respected players on here, and it's a good idea to listen to everything he says. Intently.

But never trust unequivocably everything I say. On this forum alone I have faked intuitive and visionary and once claimed that a PM conversation was forged and also voted for myself while a zombie. However, on the Scapers forum I have faked a sympathizer as a normal warrior which ended up getting the zombie team to spill to me and one time even faked a facebook conversation with a fellow zombie.

Haha....trust the advice they are giving you now, when there isn't a game.

As soon as their is a game...question EVERYTHING. OOC, in character, PM, facebook. Whatever contact you have question it. Listen and think about what the person is saying, but do not trust it completely.


A Facebook conversation? How the heck did you do that? And it seems like nobody ever trusts you, Dysole.
As for facebook....you just have to have friends in the game who you are friends with on facebook. Dysole and I are friends on facebook--we've used it multiple times to talk to each other during games. (In fact....he may even be refering to me? I can't remember if we faked a conversation when we were zombies in Byzantine)

Wont be if its a Basic+. Itll be Vis, Zombies, Empath, Beat and Symp. Possibly the Charmed as well. Itll probably 3 of the 4 additional roles + Vis + Zombies to keep you guessing and make it possible for zombies to fake the one that isnt included (not that they'll know!!)

Ps, I just want it noted that I PM'd in as an uberflex random male, since that isn't mentioned in the list of sign-ups. I really don't want to play as a girl. More power to ya if you do, but that's not for me.

09-07-2011, 07:24 PM
No, we will not be including the Sly in the roles this time around, I haven't had enough time recently to work out the wording, and all that jazz. As for what kind of a game this is going to be, I do believe I said it would be a Basic and an Advanced if we got enough people. Though I do not think we will quite make the mark for that, so if we don't I think we should have a Basic+.

Now on to the next order of business, storytelling, who is? Is it Tyler or Nightshadow? Just reply to this telling me who is, or pm me, either one works just fine.

Lastly, I don't have time right this second to update the front sign-up list, though I will have it done before the end of today. Just really busy right at the moment, and haven't been able to get on for more than a few minutes here and there. Sorry 'bout that.

There's been a million basic+ games here...honestly you guys might benefit from just trying out some more basics, they definetly get to the point of using intuition and gut. I generally prefer more roles myself, but the basics are nice occaionally...just saying.

Ill storytell a Basic+ if Nightshadow wants to wait for an Advanced one. We have a lot of new people this game so I'll storytell this one and then he can take the next one when people have a game under their belt?

That suit you Nightshadow / Everyone else? I'll need at least the weekend to get stuff together but I can certainly do it all for you. I'll have to create a thread / game ideas / rules and timings that I can work to as Im in England and obviously on a dif time scale.

How about the Aruleun time scale?;) Anyway, I don't live in England, so I have no idea what the time scale is. Tyler, do you know the American time scale? If so, you should just put both down so both the Amreicans and the British people can know what time the voting and stuff ends.

Oh thanks, Tyler. If that's the case, I'll join in. Uberflexible Random.

I will put the American times yes, Ill probably put that and put the British ones as an aside afterwards as its only Rolo, Draggash, Petal and a few others who are non US. Just to say - it wont be 10pm US time, as thats 3am our time and I can't guarantee that. More like 7pm your time and midnight my time. Maybe even half an hour before depending on work.

Would that be okay? Would people be able to hit a 7pm EST deadline most days of the week if they needed to?

I know I shouldn't have any issues as most of my votes are going to be early (by 3:30 most days) because of my class/work schedule.

Would you do 48-hour days, or 72-hour days?

Has anyone over on Scaper's done a game where it starts 48 and transitions to 72? that would seem ideal, ... for the warriors anyway.

TylerStroud
09-08-2011, 02:10 PM
That could be arranged if required. Itd probably be 48hr days and 24 hr nights. And could bring it up to 72 after Day 2 if youwant?

It seems to me that, for the cave as a whole, the first two days are basically straight RP. After that, vital information begins to surface and time is needed. I don't really know, though, any feedback from the Scaper gurus on length of days?

I like the idea of 48 --> 72, but I don't know if that would be unfair to the zombies.

Some caves 24 hours seems too long for a day, some caves 128 hours is too short. Honestly in these games 48 works pretty well. I think if we increased to 72 it wouldn't be bad but it'd be easier for people to lose track of the game.

~Dysole, who has no real clue how it'd go down.

09-08-2011, 02:19 PM
There have been games with 128 hr days?!?!?:eek:

TylerStroud

Ok 2day day, 1day night. Flat rate. Keep it the same all the way through. Keep it punchy and fresh. Cool?

~Dysole, who can recall a couple such days that felt that long

Whew.

Yeah, TS, that's fine with me.

We probably should make it standard, as Jeb suggests.

Ok thats good enough for me. Give me the weekend and possible beginning of next week to plan a story and then I'll collate signups, randomise the ID's and roles and we can get cracking.

I can't consistently vote at 7:00/12:00 although I do understand that it would be kind of ridiculous to do it any later than that. I don't really have a solution to that, so I guess just take me off the list. I'll spectate this time around, which may be whats best for me after the way I handled last game. Thank you much!

You can always vote early.

Well I dont want to lose you from the game Thing 2, the alternative is voting closes at a regular time - but the result is posted in the morning the following day. I can do this when Im at work (without fail pretty much because Im lazy). Just means you won't see the results of night votes till after, but you never would anyway.

Is that okay instead? If we say votes till 10pm EST (3am my time) but then result posted 6am EST and 11am my time? Gives you something to look forward to when you wake up ;)

Also (Sorry to double post) - I've got an idea for a story. Little bit whimsical, but should be funny all the same. The basic idea is there and will quite possibly wing it for the rest of the plot and try to keep you turning at every avenue :p

I apologize, Tyler, for not being able to actually do the story.

09-09-2011, 09:44 AM
So, when do we start? I think Jebuh said the sign-ups end today. And Tyler? Why don't you write the begining and let us do role-play until you get the next part done?:confused:

TylerStroud

Ok mate will do. At work right now but will do as soon as I get home. I'll also send out IDs.

Its cool - I wanted to storytell anyway. Just means Im not planned as I didnt expect two games to run in a row and therefore didn't think itd be me for a month or so. I've got the idea just need to get home and sort out your ID PMs and the introduction to the story - then you can RP for a bit.

So anyhow though here, for times, it should be fine if you make us all vote by like 6-7 our time.

The real thing to remember is that after 6-7, there is a ton of time that evening for the warriors to plan, and they can basically have things figured out by the next evening, and voting could start then.

Really there isn't a reason you'd be missing any votes.

...and what the heck sign me up. Uberflex (not that I think that matters since we have one game) Random.

And yeah sign-ups say they run through tonight so you technically should wait...

D---!! I lose computer for a week, and the game starts without me! I finally get my sentence lightened just so I can get on and maybe play, but I find out this.

And now my sentence is longer.

Oh well, at least I didn't send in my PM and screw up the game for all of you with a comatose savager. Next game then...

PS: Double d---!! I was going to get a friend into CoRT this game 'cause we were finally having a Basic! And now next game will be Advanced, probably...
