Title: CRISIS: On Duel Earths Rules and Story
Post by: Spak-Spang on June 03, 2008, 01:27:10 PM
Crisis Mafia Rules:
This is an experimental Mafia game trying out a new idea in gameplay of Mafia.
Basically, there are going to be two mafia games running at once. Mafia Earth Alpha and Beta. Each Mafia will get its on voting thread, which you vote as regular per any mafia we have played before. The person that loses that vote in that Earth will be killed.
However, several roles will effect both universes so although the games aren't 100% separate.
That said each person is given two roles. One role for each Earth. The object is to do whatever you can to make your team win in each Earth. Since each Earth is playing separately your roles and motives to win in each Earth should not cancel each other out.
In Each universe there are 4 Mafia Agents, 4 Townie/Special Roles and 7 regular Townies.
The special Roles Include:
A Detective, A Brother, A Sister, A Doctor, A Killer, A Witness, A Bounty Hunter, A Tough Guy
Obvously, you notice that the Townies of Each Earth will have different types of Aid...however, it is important to note many of this Roles have actions that apply cross dimensionally.
I will not be posting how these roles work...they are a secret for only the person that has the ability. Also, I treat the lynching from the daily vote as a night action...and all night actions take place at the same time, so if an action is given that action will be done...all actions will be done.
Other than that it is Mafia as usual. Good luck everyone.
Voting Ends Each Day at 9:00pm central Time (Texas Time) This will give me enough time to to sort through all actions and make sure a get everything right. Please send all night actions as soon as possible.

When someone who's forum name has two words that both resemble "spank," I worry when I see the words "more" and "come."

Scientists have been studying the hole within the Ozone layer, and it is believed there is potentially more to this whole than UV rays causing global warming and skin cancer.
Something bad is coming...a crisis for all of mankind.
More to come soon.
More information about the O-Zone Layer will be revealed at a later date.
NASA Scientists are preparing a low-orbit probe to study what appears to be a storm within the O-Zone layer.

NASA is reporting that the O-Zone storm is clearing, but it appears the hole has grown greatly in size. It is now an estimated 10 times larger than previous estimates. Scientists are unsure what this means for the future temperatures and weather on the planet.
Video and visual images from the probe are still being processed and researched...rumors of photo leak lead to many speculating NASA is not reporting the full findings from their probe.
More as the story develops.

Astronomers around the world are reporting what appears to be a source of coming from inside the O-Zone Hole.
The Rift continues to expand, and it appears to have doubled in size again.
Churches throughout the country and perhaps the world are preaching signs of revelation and are awaiting the great trumpet sounds...

I'm glad you said skin cancer there becaue the ozone has nothing to do with global warming.

As in most science fiction stories...the science is dubious at best.
Eh, I did some quick googling and I seem to be off the mark. Maybe the guy who spoke about it (Tim Jarvis) wasn't as extreme.
It will be repaired, eventually. Give it a hundred years or so. Till then, keep applying the SPF 30+

Breaking News:
NASA has released video from their weather probe. It appears the O-Zone Layer is actually a Rift of some kind, leading to what appears to be another world.
The United States has called an emergency meeting with the United Nations.
The President had declared the event a national disaster and has allocated Billions to NASA and other research teams to determine if this rift poses a threat to the Earth.

Edit: It appears this paper is run by monkeys that can not spell or punctuate...however, it appears that the stories are surprising accurate, and strangely do have a point even though the cryptic nature makes you believe Spak-Spang has just gone insane...but then again it would not be the fun house without insanity and self depreciating humor.
On a side note, why doesn't Microsoft Internet Explorer spell check?

In a joint UN press release, the nations of the world address the people of every nation.
This is a historic day, it has been discovered that the rift leads to an alternate dimension with an exact replica of our Earth. NASA discovered radio communications interfering with our own through the rift...
It is believed that life exists on this alternative Earth and they are equally advanced as we our.
Communication with our brothers in Earth Beta are being conducted even now...and a historic science experiment is being planned to send people into an alternate dimension.
NASA is taking recruits now Please sign up and the best candidates will be selected for this mission.

(Break from Story)
Despite the crazy theme and twist, I will try to keep this a pretty typical Mafia game.
The Twist will be EVERYONE will get 2 roles one for each Earth, and some abilities will have cross-dimensional effects. You will have to play both Earths to win, and if you die in one Earth you can still play in the other...but what other surprises may their be.
2 Mafias 2 Worlds 2 Groups fighting for survival...
What surprises may come about from this Mafia...

I should have guessed.
I'm in. What the Hell--after this shitty game, (which I didn't even get to play) I could use a real game.

I'm in as well. I'll donate the prize, is that cool spak? anything 1000 pts and under across wiiware and virtual console. It can be split up like I did for Maxi too, so like 2 NES games if you want.
Title: Re: CRISIS: On Duel Earths
Post by: Spak-Spang on June 05, 2008, 03:05:32 PM
DAaaman64...if you are willing to help donate an end prize that is cool.
By the way for every ten players to sign up I am randomly giving a NES game or SMS game away.
sign ups 1-10 in a raffle together. 11-20 in a raffle together. 21-30 in a raffle together.
I don't think I have to go higher than that.
And just for the record...I have enjoyed UncleBob's game...it has been fun to try and see who can make it through a random kill fest. I think people need to look at the game for what it truly is.
I am also starting a new signup thread for the game.

After 10 days of growth the Ozone Rift has appeared to stabilize. It is not large enough for a small plane to fly through.
In co-operation with Earth Beta we are doing an amazing new experiment...and are going to try to pass human life through the rift.
The crew is being kept a secret for security reasons, but it is suspected that their is another mysterious experiment in process...it appears Earth Beta has requested to send their own vessel into our Earth.
Scientists on either Earth can not explain what caused this rift and why it opened now. Perhaps this experiment will be able to answer both questions.

Rules up on page one...or at least a brief explanation of how this game will work.
Title: Re: CRISIS: On Duel Earths Rules and Story
Post by: Spak-Spang on June 10, 2008, 12:20:41 AM
Tomorrow I will explain the what I have in mind for the game in more detail and list different roles.
I have really been pondering this game and how to make it work...because the theme and twist is a very hard game to balance...it will end up being much more traditional Mafia than it sounds because of this fact...but I think the few twists to roles will be fun.
Please don't forget to sign up. Remember just playing gets you chance to win a game. Playing well will when you another price.

UncleBob: I loved your Mafia specially after you told me the twist with the ghost...and everyone having the killing ability.
The issue was it was short...but I believe it was short and sweet...but left people wanting another Mafia, which can be good.
As for my game it starts Monday the 15th.

It has been leaked that the experiment taking place today includes a shuttle being brought through the dimensional rift of both universes. However, there is more to the experiment. It appears that we are actually switch members of each dimension. The same astronauts from each universe are coming through the rift. We are basically replacing the and maintaining balance and order within the universe. It is believed that if the experiment isn't done perfect it could cause a permanent unbalance in the world leading to unknown consequences.
We go live to video of the shuttles entering the rift.
It appears everything is going fine. Both ships are currently half way through the journey and the shuttle crew has not reported any discomfort or problems as of yet. This appears to be a perfect procedure...and a great day for the history books. In just another 3 hours we should be able to have get word on the success of the mission.
The shuttles have both landed...and appears that all crew members are well the mission was a success. The Shuttles and crew are going through examinations and detox as we speak. we have no idea if there is any threat of dimensionally different disease or health risks. Early Reports have commented that the shuttles were covered with a strange black Ash after going through the rift...research is on going about this strange ash and its unique properties.

No...I wrote myself into a hole...that would take WAY too many pages to explain for a plot.
