Lost Season 5 - Son of a bitch...

L O S T

season five

The Freighter blew up.
The helicopter crashed in the ocean.
The Island disappeared.
The Oceanic Six escaped.

These are the events that happened at the end of Season Four. And now, in Season 5, things have gotten out of hand. Moving the island accidentally knocked it out of its place in space-time, and now it is skipping around through time, out of control. Find the mafia among you, but beware of the time skips, they could change the game itself.

I will be using my standard ruleset, which can be found here. Any rules listed below in "Special Mechanics" override any rules found in this list.

Special Mechanics:

01. There will be

no traditional days or nights

in this game. Instead, this game is based on real-time mechanics.
02. Players are stuck on the Island, which is skipping through time out of control. These time shifts will keep the players divided into separate groups based on what timeline they're in.
03. Every [amount redacted] hours, a time skip will occur. This shift will reshuffle the groups and reset the votecounts.
04. Separate groups have separate votecounts. If Group A has 10 players, and Group B has 3 players, the lynch threshold for Group A will be 6 votes, and the lynch threshold for Group B will be 2.

Groups will be determined through pure randomization (no mod intervention).

05. While a lynch or kill doesn't send the game into night, it may freeze gameplay in... other ways.
06.

There is a way to stop the time skips. Whether you want to do so is up to you.

07. Flavor knowledge of The Incident may be necessary.
08. Should The Incident occur during the course of the game and Jughead detonates, that will be counted as a town loss.
09.

Town

wincon is "You win when all Mafia are dead".

Mafia

wincon is "You win when you are equal in number to the Town players, or Jughead blows up (The Incident)."

There are no other wincons in this game.

10. Any other questions, ask in thread or PM me privately. For now, you have what you need.

A bright white light flashes through the sky... and you all awake to find yourself with a high-pitched ringing in your ears, completely disoriented.

You are all stunned for (expired on 2011-07-29 10:00:00). Thread will be unlocked then.

Why would rule 6 have anything to the mod, this isn't a reckamonic game.

Bolded.

Yeah but Dramonic is the weirder of the two. Also in the previous Lost games there's been no mod shenanigans, I'd expect that'll remain consistent.

Lady Lambdadelta · Post Post #11 (ISO) » Fri Jul 29, 2011 4:37 am

Yeah, but level with me here: How ELSE would we be able to stop the time skips?

Darox · Post Post #12 (ISO) » Fri Jul 29, 2011 4:41 am

Why would you want to stop them?

Double lynch is pretty awesome, yes.

There are a few ways it could be done though, LLD, you've no show knowledge right?

Very little.

But I know that the if we're having Time Skips, and the town loses when Jughead goes off... that lowers our time significantly.

Lady Lambdadelta · Post Post #15 (ISO) » Fri Jul 29, 2011 4:47 am

Further, the Mafia will have a kill ability, yes?

It'll probably be based around lynches/time like CYS was.

If there are time skips, it'll help the mafia to get their kills in faster.

Darox · Post Post #16 (ISO) » Fri Jul 29, 2011 5:31 am

I think one of us is misinterpreting what the time skips mean.

Or even a... constant?

For transparency's sake: I am not lynchable.

I can tell just from my role PM that the game mechanics are going to be pretty weird -- which will match Season 5 well (I was an avid watcher of

Lost

). Without revealing anything consequential about my role, my assumption from the information therein is that stopping the time skips will favor the town.

I am curious as to what assumptions everyone else makes about what their role PMs say and suggest that we share some of our assumptions -- those that

can

be shared, without giving scum any information that would be advantageous to them. I also think this could be a lucrative form of RQS -- scum may lie about what assumptions they draw from their role PM, but over time we may be able to catch them in the web of their own deception.
