HunterxHunterxMafia: Yorknew City: In Progress

Post Post #0 (ISO) » Fri Apr 26, 2013 9:52 am

The Yorknew City auction is the biggest in the world, and a natural target for the world's greatest band of thieves, the Phantom Troupe. Will the city descend into anarchy, or will the Troupe be stopped by the Hunters standing in their way?

From the designer of the 2012 "Best Setup" Scummy winning "Abarat: Days of Magic, Nights of War Mafia" comes another large theme following the same design axioms of innovation, adherence to theme, and most importantly, fairness.


Yes, that's right. I was intending on running it later, but I felt bad for the site that the Large Theme queue was empty, and the players who pre/in'd were all okay with an earlier start.

This is a 23 player, 2 faction game between 18 members of the
Hunter Association
and 5 members of the
Phantom Troupe
, with characters from the Yorknew City arc of HunterxHunter. Flavor knowledge is NOT necessary (you can join just because you like large themes with cool roles), but it will increase your enjoyment. Hunter Association aligned characters are not necessarily Hunters or involved with the Association in any way. There will be spoilers for this arc, but no spoilers for the following parts - if you don't want the game to spoil you, make sure you've watched up to episode 59 of the 2011 anime or read up to chapter 120 of the manga by the time it starts. Spoilers for anything in HunterxHunter beyond this point must be in spoiler tags, or you'll be punished, so watch out! Note that all but the latest episode of the anime are legally free to watch (it's worth paying for higher quality + the newest episode, imo).

As a consequence of the 2-faction nature of this game, there are no Serial Killers, Cultists, Lynchers, Cults, Survivors, or similar. No player will have their win condition changed from what it was at the start of the game.

This will be a hydra friendly game - hydras are allowed, and players do not have veto rights over whether a hydra joins. However, there is a limit of 3 heads maximum per hydra, and a limit of 5 “bonus players” as a result of hydras (so five 2-headed hydras or two 2-headed hydras and one 3-headed hydra are the limit.)

This game will use an arbitrary justice system. I will decide whether a player should be allowed in to the game or not. If you believe you have information about a players performance that I may not know and would significantly influence my decision whether to allow them in, please PM it to me. I will not publicly name anyone who shares information in this way. Note that I may ban one or more players I normally approve of if I feel that a certain combination of players will negatively impact the game. Please do not take it personally.

As a final note: If you skip the credits, it's pretty reasonable to get through an episode of Hunter in 20 minutes or fewer. As such, getting up to episode 59 with 20 hours of watching is easily done. So, if you've never seen Hunter but are interested in the game, you can try to watch it now! And, if multiple players are trying to marathon through Hunter, I am willing to delay the start of the game for a few days by request to allow those players time to finish watching.

I've read most of the manga. So, I'm somewhat familiar with the story.

I'm going to have to decline this. Nothing personal; it's just that you're in your first two games and experience suggests that when a newbie starts on the site with 3 or more consecutive games they almost always end up disliking the experience. Have fun in your first two games, and I hope you enjoy the site!

Oh yeah, this setup was reviewed by Faraday, Nexus, and CES. Faraday's backup.

This will be 2 games ATM. I love the game and would like to play. I am perfectly fine with you not allowing me to play; I just would be disappointed.

I have to be in 2 games to be in the WWE WW game. This would be my second, and that other game isn't happening for a while (according to the moderator), so that means I can be in this one, right?

I know you want to go right to experiencing Large Theme's, but it's a pretty sizeable jump.

How's this sound? Instead of having you in the game, I'll just put you in the dead QT at the start. You can hang out and observe and chat. Give scumreads and such and you'll find how you're doing as the game goes on. When players die you can ask them more questions about their thought processes. It'll give you the scumhunting part of the game, but not the convincing others you're town part, which is so often what falls by the wayside when you're suddenly busier than you thought you would be. It's a pretty solid intermediate start.

And yeah, feel free to use this thread to ask for hydra friends.

Alright. If signups last more than two weeks I'll contact you about being /in at the start. Sound good?

The first day deadline will be 3 weeks.

Actually it's starting today. It'll last for at least 2 months, possibly longer.

I would agree with Hito.

Okay Nexus. I thought it would be longer. I will sign up for replacement once I die in that game lol. The way I normally act is apparently scummy.
