Alright. That's enough for today. I've got the rest of the roles mostly typed up but they still need some editing and I need to get other stuff done tonight so I'll have to finish posting the rest tomorrow.
This begs the questions, would you be ok with the game starting in the middle of a week or would you want to wait for it to launch this Sunday giving you time to read up on the rules and roles once fully posted? How is the schedule / availability still looking for all you players?
It's nice to see we were able to reach 17 so I'm hoping we can still keep that amount and the timing will still be alright for the majority of you. (That said, I'd really like one more of a total of 18 if that could be done as the Pellet breakdown would work nicely at that number. You'll understand about Pellets when the rest of the rules are posted.
)
Personally, I've gotten very excited about this game over the last 24 hours as I've begun nailing down how I want this game to work and merging the ideas and elements of Mafia with Pikmin. I'm looking forward to how this will play out and the strategic decisions that may come for it which is fitting for Pikmin which involves a bit of strategic planning.
Back by popular demand (or at least by Mop it up's demand), The Bomber role has returned... with some new tweaks. Definitely take some time to read up on that role which has been posted in the Rules and Roles thread. The twist I like about the role is that it actually may encourage voting despite the risk of voting out The Bomber because of the element of bomb disposal. (Unless you want to get risky trying to target someone with a bomb in your hands.)
And that's just one element / role so far. Wait until I get to the Pikmin Mafia.
Roleplay - Some of you have wondered what the roleplay for Pikmin could be. I admit it is tough since there aren't a lot of speaking or developed characters in the series. For this game, the townie faction (and the Other faction like The Bomber or Killer) will come from the variety of Pikmin enemies. In this case, the Mafia will be made of Olimar and the types of Pikmin. You can base your character around the idea of the planet's wildlife trying to snuff out the growing Pikmin threat. Hopefully that can give you some ideas or inspiration.
