[SYSTEM] Scanner deployed.
[SYSTEM] Satellite coming down in 3...2...1...

..................

[SYSTEM] Begin transmission.

[SOLIDER] Commander Nell, we're under attack!
[NELL] What? Here? By whom?
[SOLIDER] It is unclear at this time, ma'am; however, preliminary reports indicate Black Hole forces are responsible.
[NELL] Black Hole? How could they have known about this location?
[SOLIDER] I'm not sure, ma'am. We have done everything we could to protect its identity.
[NELL] Yes, of course. This is most troubling.
[SOLIDER] Yes, ma'am. We are mounting a military response as we speak. Our rockets and missiles have repelled the majority of their first strike, but if they should move in with additional troops, we may be too weak to hold them off. What are your orders?
[NELL] Maintain your current defensive actions. I will call for reinforcements, both ground, naval, and aerial. They should arrive shortly.
[SOLIDER] Yes, ma'am. Thank you, ma'am.
[NELL] Now, to the issue of our primary HQ being discovered...
[SOLIDER] Yes?
[NELL] There must be an internal leak. There is no other explanation.
[SOLIDER] Ma'am, if I may, that seems highly unlikely. Perhaps they simply tracked some of our APC movements...
[NELL] No, that is impossible. They are too heavily camouflaged. As much as I hate to admit it, our own organization is compromised. Alert the other Commanding Officers immediately. We must work as quickly as possible to plug the hole.
[SOLIDER] Right away, ma'am. I will have them meet you in Situation Room 1 as soon as possible.

[SYSTEM] End transmission.

..................

Just minutes after the Allies defeated me the first time, I knew I would rise again. Their victory was due to dumb, situational luck and foolish overconfidence on my part - not skill. This time, they will not be so fortunate and I will not be so asinine. I will break them...not from the outside, but from within. If overconfidence is my weakness...their faith in their friends is theirs.

..................

Ladies and gentlemen, I thank you all for assembling here so quickly. You know I would not have called you away from your respective armies if the situation were not so grave. At the end of the last world war, we stood strong and defeated an enemy much more powerful than each of us alone. After the war, although the enemy dissapted, the alliance remained. Now, the enemy has returned ... but instead of the alliance reamining strong, like it should, it is weakening. The unthinkable has happened: we have traitors in our midst. Now, I know your first reaction is going to be that this is impossible. I assure you, it is not. There is no other explanation. We all must work quickly, efficiently, and together to eliminate the moles in our alliance so that we can return our full attention to winning the war. Good luck!

[General Rules]

1) All site-wide rules apply.
2) Unless your role PM permits you to do so, do not discuss this game with any player outside the game thread.
3) Do not edit or delete posts.
4) Do not post in the thread when dead. A single "bah" post with no game-related content is permitted.
5) Do not use smaller-than-normal text, invisible text, or any other board-tag related way of encoding hidden information in your posts.
6) Do not quote any communication you have with the moderator, including timestamps. Careful paraphrasing is acceptable. Please contact me first if you are unsure of whether a post will violate this rule.
7) Inactivity kills games. Please be considerate and play the game you signed up for. If you do not post every 48 hours, you will be prodded. If you receive 3 or more prods, you may be automatically replaced without warning at the moderator's discretion. Please notify me if you will be V/LA.
8)

Red

is the reseved moderator color. Do not use it. Black will also be used by the moderator. It, however, is not reserved.
9) Flavor is written for your enjoyment only and has absolutely no relation to in-game alignment. Analyze it at your own risk.

[Game Specific Rules]

10) This game is nightless. It will remain open nonstop until a faction fufills its win condition or the game is terminated by a moderator. Any faction with the ability to communicate amongst itself privately may do so at any time.
11) Each player has one or more static CO abilities. These abilities are in effect at all times while the player is alive.
13) Each player has at leaszt two activated abilities: A CO power and a Super CO power. These abilities are measured by a "Power Meter" that tracks how often they can be used. Each player will be informed by private Quicktopic what percentage of their power meter is full.
14) CO Power Meters are bankable and shared. Once your CO Power Meter has finished charging, your Super CO Power meter will begin to charge. Once your Super CO Power is fully charged, your meter will cease to fill until you activate a power. If you use a CO Power after it is finished charging but before your Super CO Power is fully charged, any extra charge left over will remain in your meter.
15) To use an activated ability, simply PM me the ability you wish to use and any appropriate targets. Abilities will be resolved by timestamp, with ability sent in earliest being resolved first. In the rare event of a tie, NAR will be used.
16) Some abilities resolve immediately, whereas others last a certain number of days before expiring. Your CO Power Meter can still charge even while an ability is in use.
17) If a player is killed, any effects that player's CO power is causing end immediately.

[Voting, Lynching, & Death]

18) To cast a vote, post a bolded

Vote: Playername

command in the thread. Unvotes are appreciated, but not mandatory.
19) You may NOT Vote: No Lynch. If you wish to no lynch, simply refrain from voting and the game will continue until a majority is reached.
20) Who is voting who is public information, but the total number of votes a player has and/or the number of votes required to lynch a player are not.
21) There are no deadlines. Instead, a mandatory "lynch cooldown" period with a day length equal to the number of players in the game will be in effect at all times. Whenever a lynch occurs, a lynch cannot occur again under the cooldown period has elapsed

(for example, if a lynch occurs and there are 11 players left in the game, another lynch cannot occur for another 11 days).

You may still vote and votes will still be counted during this time.
22) If you feel the game is moving too slowly, you may

Vote: Accelerate Cooldown

in addition to a normal vote on a player. If 2/3 of the players vote this way, you will gain the ability to lynch immediately. However, 24 hours later, the mafia's kill power will automatically charge to 100%.
23) This is a partial reveal game. Name and alignment are revealed upon death, but any abilities a player had are not.

The "town" win-condition reads as follows. At least one player has this win-condition.

You are aligned with the Allied Nations and win when all other factions have been eliminated.

This is a game. It is meant to be played and it is meant to be fun. Do your part and have a good time!

1. Yes
2. All of them.
3. All of them(AW1 and AW2 are tough as hell IIRC.)
4. Yes
5. Saw a forum post on League of Legends wanting to play LoL Mafia. Didn't continue though, but they sent me a nifty little link with the Flash Tutorial. Got very interested.
6. Blue
7. Animal Farm
8. Varies. I have too many.

[bv310]

I had such a freaking hard time on AW:DS in that one where you have to shoot down the satellite. Picked the game up again last week, and I beat it first try. >.<

[mallowgeno]

I need to find my DS one. Sadly, i've never beaten any of these.

[VasudeVa]

AW:DS was incredibly easy. Just dual strike your way through the entire game. Black Hole Rising, on the other hand, was hell on earth. The Green Earth Campaign comes to mind. Also the last few missions attacking BH. Like, Woah. I don't remember ever finishing AW1, so I think it's reasonable to assume it was hard. AW: DoR was the only one with reasonable difficulty IMO. Plus, I liked the new mechanics. New CEOs aren't as colorful and interesting as the ones on the original setting though.

[bv310]

I really enjoyed Days of Ruin. I missed the cartoony COs and plot though.

[Fate]

OMG MY CHILDHOOD!

EAGLE AND SAMURAI GUY 4EVARRRRRRRRRR.

Blue moon sucks

Howdy!

What's your favorite color?

Favorite Book?
Song?

1. Yup, the first one and Black Hole Rising
2. AW 1. I played on emulator and my comp died before I could finish BHR.
3. RTS? Nope. Except from WH40k: Dawn of War, I never liked any single real time strategy game I played, and I tried Starcraft, Warcraft III, Codename Panzers, Company of Heroes etc. I love turn based strategies though. AW, Heroes of Might and Magic and of course Chess.
4. I played this game in RL as a kid and I liked it. Thanks to that I signed in when I noticed the game like that exist on the Internet as well.
5. Black.
6. Pizza.
7. You can deduce it from my name. If you still don't have a clue - Catch 22 by Joseph Heller.
8. Serenity Painted Death by Opeth

And now, something completely different: the best two pieces of music in AW series.

Grit's Theme
Jess' Theme

And now, something completely different (again):

vote: Fate

For bitching about the setup and outcome of my modded Mini Normal game

BTW, is there a 'Watched Topics' option or a similar one here? It was incredibly useful on the old board.

[Riceballtail]

I really enjoyed Days of Ruin. I missed the cartoony COs and plot though.

Yeah, that.

VOTE:Mallow

for being the most useless character in that game.

Geno, OTOH, can come back to another game any time now.

[Col.Cathart]

Blue moon sucks

Add another reason for my vote. Grit is fucking awesome, how dare you...

[Fate]

Yeah but the fat guy and the rich kid suck ALL THE AWESOME out.

Oh I forgot to say

HI COLONEL
HI SOCIOPATH
HI XRECK

[SocioPath]

Have you played Advance Wars Before?

1. Yes.
2. None of them.
3. Love 'em.
4. Found it myself on another forum.
5. I don't really have one favorite. My favorites are green, red, and blue. I often switch between the three depending on my mood.
6. No real favorite but I do mostly like Mexican and Asian food.
7. The Sword of Truth series but I don't read often.
8. No favorite song. The bands I like are Avenged Sevenfold, Atreyu, Tenacious D and things of that nature.

vote: Vasude

for spelling my name wrong first.

[xRECKONERx]

NOT ANSWERING STUPID ASS QUESTIONS
NOR AM I LAYING DOWN A RANDOM VOTE

SUCK. ON. THAT.

[jelly jiggler]

I got a question for you guys too. What CO would you have preferred to be?

[VasudeVa]

BM >= GE > YC > OS

Tried, tested and true. If you disagree, you are wrong. OS is the lamest of all the countries. Gorilla Guy and Mechanic boy can suck it. Infantry girl is so-so.

Winter Buff and Movement Point decrease/Mass {Neotanks,BattleShips,Bombers}/FoWRangeLoL are too awesome. I use them in Medium/Large/FoW Maps respectively. (Small maps have to go to Adder though~)
