  1. So, for the following Monsters I'd have to guess these actions:

    Argus: who he spies

    Medusa: who she Petrifies

    Minotaur: who he saves

    Siren: who she targets

    Also can Charon, Hermes, Perseus, Theseus be recruited?

    Remember that all 4 of those monsters may be inactive for whatever reason as well. You can guess if they will be inactive. And those final 4 characters can be recruited with 2 Pleas each. There's also Persephone who can be recruited. It's all in the Rules.

  2. Uh-oh! I just tried to track this forum through Itachi's profile and I did so quite easily. I hope others don't misuse it unknowingly. :lol:

    That's what I thought at first, but rookie just confirmed that we can see it only because we have access. People without it cannot see the thread. Thanks rookie! ;)

  3. I am off to bed, Imp! Need to sleep now.:yawn:

    Another coincidence! Unreality called me Cerebrus last game and I get that role this game. :lol:

    Cerebrus: Move three levels up to Prometheus' mountains(assuming I am in Hades' castle). No killing for the three-headed pup tonight. :P

    Imp, if you can guess Argus's action, guess that he will learn the identity of someone or if needed in more detail, learn the identity of the Siren or Persephone. And if valid, Persephone.

    You cannot guess Travels, only actions. Therefore you cannot guess Persephone will stay in one place. As for Argus, you will need to be more specific. Basically, exactly what will Argus do tonight? (aside from travel)

  4. Just trying to get it clear in my head! Itachi's now in River Styx and dawh moves to the surface. So Itachi's attack will fail and dawh will be safe, right? I guess so, but can you confirm it Itachi?

    And again I think this one's obvious, but if I am on the surface I can move down to hell swamp or vice-versa tonight, right?

    And moving and attacking are simultaneous actions? Again just a minor clarification.

    Traveling and Attacking are simultaneous basically. Just picture it all happening during the 1 Night without any time breakdown. As far as the dawh movement part, if he was on the surface and I tried to attack him on the River Styx, then yes it would fail. I wouldn't be able to find him. If you are on the surface, you will have to try to move down that night, but you may get stopped by any particular character who can do so.

  5. My favorite Sylar moment was his look after the kid finished slurping his milkshake. :lol: Priceless :lol: I'm glad he's back to being a 'psycho killer' (great homage btw) I'll just forget about those episodes where he was a pansy.

    And yes! HRG's constant role switches are now just silly. :rolleyes: I've had enough. Just stop changing sides and be good or bad once more and for all.

    So who's the anonymous phone caller?

    Mika... Nikki's kid who has been forgotten in N'Orleans. He should stay forgotten IMO

  6. :o They wouldn't! That's not cool :mad:

    hehe, I might be wrong about that. I asked rookie if people would get an access denied message or something to that effect (maybe it doesn't even show up). If not I'll just patrol the threads. If you see someone reading it who shouldn't be here, just let me know B))

  7. I have one more question about movement. Does movement take place before attacks or after? It kind of makes a difference which happens first...Again, most of the time it won't matter, but sometimes it will. I'm guessing that everyone will move first and then people will start attacking, but I don't think that it is entirely clear in the OP.

    It's simpler than you're making it. Basically, it all takes place the same moment (Night). So, where the person moves is where they are all night. I wouldn't want to get into breaking it down into movement before or after action :wacko:

    for instance: itachi moves from the Surface to the River Styx and attacks dawh. ;) So, I'd be on the River and trying to attack you :D

  8. Hi Bb and Kat! You both can now use this forum for all communication for the game.

    As for Calchus. You can PM me whenever you want during the Night and I'll send you a random action of the ones I've received. Good luck! ;)

  9. This looks amazing. B)) I'm still wrapping my head around some of the rules. If the character sacrificed is on the river, will they stay there? :unsure:

    People could probably use a little clarification on this point; I had more questions initially, but rereading the OP answered them, but not this. (It is kind of a corner case... :o )

    In any case, I'm ready to start fighting gods and monsters, etc.! ;)

    Thanks and good call. hmm. I think I'll make it a 50/50 toss up if the Sacrificed player is on the River.

  10. Characters and Abilities:

    Hades and the Monsters of Tartarus:

    Hades - Hades and Cerberus start with BTSC. Hades can only be killed by Odysseus and only if Odysseus is at Hades' Castle. Hades can guess 3 actions each Night and nullify them, learn IDs and gain BTSC partners depending on what he guesses. He can also send people from Tartarus (each Character only once during the Game though). If he is voted to be sacrificed, he will select one player who voted for him to be sent back up to the surface (regardless of prior evictions).

    Cerberus - begins with BTSC with Hades. May Kill each night with 100% accuracy, 50% against Gods. Cerberus must be killed 3 times (once for each head)

    Argus - Given to Hades by Hera. All-seeing with 100 eyes. Spies the ID of anyone that passes through the Dungeons. Knows half of the code to Odysseus' freedom. If killed, will get the info to Hades.

    Medusa - Can petrify one player per night so they have no action and cannot Travel. If she petrifies the same person 3 Nights in a row they will shatter and die.

    The Minotaur - May protect one Player per Night, but never himself. If he protects anyone from the same Character twice, he will retaliate with a 50% accurate counter-attack. Knows half of Odysseus' freedom. If killed, will get the info to Hades.

    The Siren - Her song will halve the final accuracy (including Nestor's influence) of her victim's actions. The effect also makes them have 50% chance of death next Night as well, unless Nestor sets them straight that following Night with a good story.

    The Achaeans:

    Odysseus - Odysseus and Calchus start with BTSC. Odysseus begins the Game shackled in Tartarus without any power but his mind. No one can be sacrificed for him unless he is freed. Odysseus can kill and is vulnerable to be killed at Night once he is freed and Apollo is dead. He has 100% accuracy against humans and 50% against Gods and Monsters. He must be the last Greek standing. Someone will sacrifice themself for Odysseus if he is targeted (Odysseus selects the character from a list provided by Poseidon). Again, he must be freed for sacrifices to be made for his life. May guess 3 actions and choose: Nullify them, learn IDs and/or recruit into BTSC. Odysseus knows how he can be saved.

    Calchus - begins with BTSC with Odysseus. Foretells a random Action each night.

    Diomedes – Kills humans and monsters with 50% chance. 25% on Gods. If he doesn't kill his victim he will befriend them for the Night and Protect them. If he fails to kill the same Player twice, he will befriend them permanently and not be able to Attack them again.

    Athena - Can stop the Daily Sacrifice, but not twice in a row. She may Protect one person each Night as well, but never herself.

    Apollo – Zeus has taken over the responsibility of pulling the Sun across the Sky in Apollo's absence. Apollo's skill with the Bow and Arrow is slightly diminished since he is so far from his dominion. He may kill each night with 100% accuracy, but he cannot kill other Gods.

    Nestor - Can boost any attacking Character to 100% kill accuracy with a rousing story of the good ole days.

    Independents:

    Charon - Can deny one Player passage to or from Tartarus once per cycle. This includes people who die above surface during the Night. They will have to stay dead and try to Travel to Tartarus the next Night.

    Hermes - Can send a message once per cycle to any Player. Can freely travel to anyplace he wishes.

    Persephone - She is being punished by Hades. She cannot die while hidden. If she stays hidden for 3 cycles though, she will join Hades' side automatically and reside at his Castle. Persephone begins by the Lake. If recruited by Hades, she stays in his Castle. If recruited by the Achaeans, she moves like they do. She can use her influence in Tartarus to save someone and block all action taken on that Player each night how ever many times, not including herself.

    Perseus - a warrior wandering Tartarus in search of a good fight. Can kill each night. Can kill Medusa with 100% accuracy. All other kill attempts are 25% (50% if recruited). Will learn ID of victim though.

    Theseus - another warrior lost, wandering Tartarus to fulfill a forgotten desire. Can kill each night. Can kill the Minotaur with 100% accuracy. All other kill attempts are 25% (50% if recruited). Will give his ID to his victim though, if they survive.

    Game Rules:

    BTSC: A special thanks to rookie for setting up 2 hidden forums for this game. There is one for the Baddies (Hades' group) and one for the Goodies (the Achaeans). Once recruited by Hades or Odysseus, players will gain access to their respective forum. Please use these forums with the same respect as you would any other part of BrainDen.

    Traveling: Hades never moves from his Castle. Persephone begins by the Lake. If recruited by Hades, she stays in his Castle. If recruited by the Achaeans, she moves like they do. Perseus and Theseus start at random places and move one area per Night. Hermes starts randomly and can move however he pleases. All other players have initial starting points (Achaeans all start on the Surface with the exception of Odysseus) and can move 1 or 3 areas every odd Night and 2 areas on even Nights.

    Actions, Attacks and Deaths: All physical Actions are only possible if both characters involved are on the same side of the River Styx. An Attack can only be made if both Players involved are on the same side of the River Styx. If they are not on the same side, the victim cannot be found. If any Player dies on the Surface, they wind up in a random area of Tartarus. If a Player dies in Tartarus, they are permanently killed from the game. Below is a list of the areas (in order):

    1) The Surface

    ~The River Styx~

    2) Ixion's Path

    3) Hell Swamp

    4) The Valley of Sisyphus

    5) Fire Cave

    6) Dungeons

    7) Snakes' Cavern

    8) Prometheus' Mountain

    9) Tantalus' Lake

    10) Volcanic Pits

    11) Hades' Castle

    The Daily Plea and Sacrifice: Each team only may get 3 independents during the game. They each require 2 pleas. A plea MUST be made by the voted victim before the Daily Sacrifice. The Sacrifice is not fatal though. The victim is revealed as (Olympian, Achaean, or Monster) and are made powerless for that Night. They are also sent to the opposite side of the River Styx (The Surface or Ixion's Path) than where they resided that Day and cannot move that Night.

    Each team may only have 2 Gods maximum at any given time.

    Back ups:

    1. IDNE

    2. LIS

    Thanks for signing up everyone! I think this is the final roster (for now :P ). Yay! PM made it! ...though did you want to be on backups? ...still slightly confusing. :wacko:

  12. Randro and Twin Bro are twins, Twin Pop is their dad. Randro signed up plus reserving the spot for his dad, while Twin Bro jumped in not noticing (happens all the time :lol:) that his brother signed up!

    In the end Twin Pop probably decided not to join the game, cause it causes confusion when all three of them are in the same game at the same time (happens all the time :lol:). So Twin Pop will probably tutor his two boys through the game just like he did once before! :)

    I'm hoping this helped Itachi! ;)

    Ah, it all makes sense to me now! :D thx. ;)

    only 1 more spot! :o I think it's reserved for Twin Pop until further notice.

  13. wow, perfect timing

    dun dun da dun.... Its the final count down!!!

    Song started playing right when I started reading this thread :lol:

    hahah! Arrested Development memories... ugh, why did that show get canceled?...

    anyhoo, I just listened to Discipline by NIN

    before that: Fearless by Pink Floyd, a few Bob Marleys, a few Radioheads, Harbinger by Mike Oldfield, some Del the Funky Homosapian, High Rise by Ladytron, and Soma and Zero by Smashing Pumpkins.

    That's what happens when you shuffle B))

  14. Here's some more:

    1) Submarine screendoor

    2) Ankle watch

    Question: is Randro Twin Pop or Twin Bro? I'm a bit confused about you 2 :huh::)

    Only 2 spots left?! :o

    ~it starts next Monday.

  16. I AM curious about how Itachi thought that Hermes should have been played, however. I had an idea in my head that I thought was the best use for his ability, but once unreality and BrandonB started organizing their teams publicly, that pretty much made me feel like I needed to start trying to trick the teams into betraying information about themselves (and then betraying them up and down the river Styx to whoever i wanted to win). I think that maybe Hermes should have another option, or possibly something that doesn't come into play until later in the game. Other than that, I liked all of the abilities (I think Odysseus was my favorite), and can't wait to see what the sekrit powers are.

    Well, my first advice would have been to get recruited before Apollo :D You could have come out as Hermes (maybe dangerous, maybe not) or just made a strong case for Hermes being selected first since he helps so greatly with BTSC recruitment. You played it pretty well. There was more info you could have passed around though. I'll leave that open since Hermes will be in Part 2. Once the game was almost over you became a character everyone knew and the least practical to kill since you were independent. So basically, your goal was then not to get recruited. The Achaeans wouldn't allow it anyway. ;) As for more power... well, that's what Volume II is for B))
