Justice League UNLEASHED 2 Sign-ups [Mafia]

[Yoruichi-san]

In the middle layers of earth’s atmosphere hovered the substantial ship, originally constructed from the technology of Krypton, but modified throughout the years by alien technologies from numerous worlds which had, as a consequence, shared the same fate.  Its advanced cloaking technology had caused more a few avian fatalities, but that was of no matter to what was inside.

 

The surprisingly low humming of machinery, flashes of light, and sparks of electricity filled a chamber near the aft, where a sundry of mechanical arms operated on an object prostrate on a seamless table.

 

One arm, a three ‘fingered’ mechanical claw, held a gold oval with face-like features, the final piece, which it attached into place.  Another arm with a heat ray of some sort worked around, melting the edges of anomalous alloy and sealing the piece onto the object.  After it finished, the entire assembly came to a stop and the humming ceased.  A moment later, the entity on the table arose.

 

“You have been repaired based on the data uploaded from the late Dr. Ivo’s hard drives,” a robotic voice resounded through the metal alcove.  “A few upgrades have been included.”

 

The ‘expression’ on the gold entity’s ‘face’, if they could be called those things, shifted.  “Why?” it inquired.

 

There was a pause, then:  “A wager has been made for the outcome of this planet.  To win, it is computed that the simulation requires your factor.”

 

Slowly, the gold entity nodded, comprehending.  “Then I shall play my part.”

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Inside the tower that was in this realm, but not, the man sat in a carved wooden chair, transposed in the peace and tranquility of the inner garden. The golden helmet that contained that other part of him was perched on a small table besides him, its hollow eyes seeing nothing and everything simultaneously.

 

Behind him a woman appeared, slipping through a dimensional portal, the only way into or out of the tower.  She was handsome, with dark hair tied back at the nape of her neck, and her voice was halcyon and mellifluous as she spoke.  “It seems the Brain Interactive Construct has begun to move.”

 

The man sighed, reluctant to leave his serene repose.  Finally, he placed a gloved hand onto the helmet and stood, resigning to fate.  “All right, Inza” he projected, donning the head piece.  “Then we must move as well.”  He turned to the woman, and his eyes, or the helmet’s eyes, or perhaps both, glowed.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Justice League UNLEASHED

Second Arc: Of Magic and Men

 

 

 

 

The 2nd Assemblage of Supervillains:
(Have BTSC, choose one player each Night to carry out kill, and once in the entire game, may save one player from the lynch)

Lex Luthor: (Man) A mere man, yet he earns the title of Superman’s greatest adversary for his intellect, ambition, and powers of manipulation. Each Night, he may control the actions of one player if he is able to correctly identify their role. Subject to all role restrictions (if he unknowingly breaks one of them or the player unknowingly breaks one of them due to having been manipulated, the player’s action will fail and he or they will be informed it failed). The player he is manipulating is subject to block/redirection. If he manipulates a role that receives information, he receives the information as well. The player he is manipulating is not informed they were manipulated. Cannot manipulate Amazo. If he manipulates the Flash or any Day action, must specify during the nth Night that he will use the action on the nth Day (and hence no other). He may choose the message targets during the Day.

Ares: (Magic) The God of War, not at all bitter about the lack of worship to him in the present era *whistling*. Uses his powers to rile up his opponents against each other. Any Day, may select a player to change the vote of. As it is a Day action, it cannot be blocked or redirected, but can be manipulated.

Solomon Grundy: (Magic) Undead zombie corpse of a mob boss, is short on wit but definitely not short on strength. Being undead, can only be killed at Night by the magic of Hawkgirl’s Nth metal mace and requires a majority of votes to lynch. Any Night, may use brute force to prevent a player from acting.

Felix Faust: (Magic) An ancient sorcerer (yeah, we mean ancient) on a never-ending quest for mystical power. He may channel the spirits of the dead. Any Night, he may use the abilities of a dead player if he can correctly identify their role or choose a player and determine if they are magic or man. Cannot channel Amazo (being an android who doesn’t have a spirit to channel), or Hawkgirl (being from a different world whence her spirit will return to upon death). Subject to all role restrictions, which are reset upon the player’s death.


The Independent:

Amazo/Professor Ivo’s Android: (Man...kinda) An innovation creation by the late Professor that can replicate the abilities of the beings it comes in contact with. Each Night, it may choose one player to learn their role and abilities (this action cannot be blocked, redirected, or undone). On the nth Night, it may also use n/2 (rounded down) of the abilities it has learned. Not subject to any role restrictions, except Lex’s RID manipulate. If he replicates Superman, he gains his invulnerability and susceptibility to krytonite. Invincible for first two Nights and Days. If blocked or redirected, each block or redirect will only affect one of his abilities.



The Justice League:

Superman/Clark Kent: (Man) Somebody save me...well, that’s what he’s here for. Each Night, may choose one player to save. Cannot save himself and cannot be saved. Due to his Kryptonian physiology, he cannot be killed at Night without the aid of kryptonite. However, since studies have linked prolonged exposure to kryptonite to cancer, no one carries it around with them, hence an attacker must return to their secret HQ to retrieve it, and cannot perform any other Night action in addition to the kill. Use of kryptonite must be specified with the kill, and cannot be used two Nights in a row.

Batman/Bruce Wayne: (Man) The only founding JL member without superpowers, he is arguably the strongest due to his intelligence, discipline, and inner strength. Now comes equipped with his own trademarked utility belt! Any Night, may use an item on his belt, however, once the item is used, it will be gone and no longer available. If blocked, item is not used. Items on the belt (and their quantity):

Batarangs (2): May use to injure a player and prevent them from acting.

Grapple gun (1): May use to spirit himself and another player of his choosing out of danger (save).

Line Launcher (1): May use to zip line a player away, saving them from the lynch.

Cryptographic sequencer (1): May use to hack into a player’s computer and receive the same information they receive that Night.

Smoke pellets (3): May use to disguise himself so that he may watch and find out the players who acted on his target.

Tracers (3): May place on his target and find out who they acted on.

Kryptonite (1): (In lead casing) His backup plan, just in case...

Wonder Woman/Diana: (Magic) Themysciran Princess with power second to no man. Each Night, may use her lasso of truth to find the answer to one TRUE/FALSE question (PM’s question to host and host will answer TRUE/FALSE). Cannot be redirected. May not ask about pending actions.

Flash/Wally West: (Man) Fastest man on earth...and, as Hawkgirl likes to point out...single. Uses his super-speed to ferry messages b/w roles. Each Day he may choose two roles, one to send, one to receive and the next Night the sender will be informed they may send a message and to which role. The receiver will not be informed of the sender’s role. As it is a Day action, it cannot be blocked or redirected, but can be manipulated.

Green Lantern/John Stewart: (Man) Using his power ring as an extension of his will, he may choose to do one of the following actions each Night, not the same two Nights in a row: save, block, redirect. Cannot redirect a player to themselves. Cannot die as long as Hawkgirl is alive. If Hawkgirl dies, also gains the option to kill.

Hawkgirl/Shayera Hol: (Magic) Her tongue being the only thing sharper than the spikes on her Nth metal mace, this Thanagarian dynamo may target one player any Night to kill with her weapon or she may choose a player to find out if they are magic or man using the magical properties of her weapon. May not choose the kill action two Nights in a row and may not target the same player two Nights in a row. Knows the identity of Green Lantern. Is revealed when she dies.

Martian Manhunter/Jon Jones: (Man) Sole survivor of his species, each Night may use his telepathic abilities to delve into one player’s mind and redirect their action, or use his ability of invisibility to watch and learn which players acted on his target. Cannot redirect players to themselves. May not target the same player two Nights in a row.

Zatanna Zatara/Herself: (Magic) uoy no lleps a tsac lliw ytuaeb reH. Each Night, my use her backwards magic to undo an action if she can predict it. Predictions must be in the form “[role A] [performs X action] on [player B]”. Applies to the action itself, not what the player intended, so includes actions that are being manipulated and/or redirected and is assessed after manipulation/redirection. Zatanna’s action itself cannot be redirected, and trumps all other actions in case of loops or conflicts.

Green Arrow/Oliver Queen: (Man) The world’s greatest archer...or so he likes to think. Always hits his target with deadly accuracy. Each Night, may choose a target and make their action unblockable and unredirectable, or choose a player to determine if they are Black Canary. If he finds Black Canary, gains BTSC with her. May not target the same player two Nights in a row.

Black Canary/Dinah Lance: (Man...well, not really but you know…) Strong willed and skilled at judo, each Night, may use her canary cry to either incapacitate a player, preventing them from acting, or to echo-locate them and find out their target. May not target the same player two Nights in a row.



Miscellaneous rules:

Things that will appear in Night Post: Kills, successful saves (including undo’s), blocks. Kryptonite use will not be shown. Block on block will result in a canceling out of actions and will not be shown (observing roles will also not see anything happening). Everything else in the Night/Day Post is subject to creative license ;P.

In the event of a tie: if the tie is due to use of Ares’s ability, no one dies. Otherwise, all tied players die and the last player(s) to add/remove/change their vote(s) to create the tie(s) dies.

All “cannot be killed at Night”’s will appear as saves, from a saving role that is not shown as acting otherwise in the Night Post if possible, otherwise random, and all “cannot be lynched/saved from lynch/no one dies” will be indistinguishable.

In case of loops: Manipulate>Redirect>Block 

In case of roles acting on the same player: Lex’s manipulate>Amazo using Lex’s manipulate, Amazo using any redirect>Martian Manhunter’s redirect>Green Lantern’s redirect, and of course, any block will prevent the player from acting.  

Redirect loops will be terminated on the first return, i.e. if A redirects a block to A, will show in the Night Post as A being blocked; if A redirects B’s redirect to A it will effectively block B’s redirect and nothing else will happen. Only the initial redirect target and action will be seen by observing roles, i.e. they will see A acted on B, but not B acted on A.

Unless otherwise specified, role abilities (things that a role must actively choose to do, i.e. actions) can be blocked/redirected/manipulated/copied, but role attributes (i.e. passives) cannot.

All actions are considered to be initiated at Night and ‘go through’ during the transition b/w Night and Day, so a player’s action will occur unless blocked or manipulated.

Players will not be informed of the success/failure of their actions unless otherwise stated.

Players are free to say whatever they wish in the thread as long as they do not make a false claim about the host or the rules. The host reserves the right to clarify any seeming misunderstanding about the rules.

No reproduction of game related material from outside the game thread in the game thread.

Please address your questions to the host in purple. Thanks!

Note:  Game will not begin until the first week of September.

 

Most of the roles have some sort of choice of action so there are a lot of possible interactions, which probably haven't all been taken into consideration, so there may will probably be adjustments before the game begins.  Questions/comments welcome!

Just adding the numbers up (side down with an exclamation point).

[Yoruichi-san]

Lol...it might have been fun if you didn't say what the numbers were and left it as a puzzle to the reader. ;P

 

Oh, and I forgot to edit a change I made into the OP for Amazo:  At any time, but only for one Night/Day cycle in the entire game, Amazo may activate turbo mode, in which he is unkillable, unlynchable, unblockable, unredirectable, and unundoable.

 

 

Links to JLU1, in case anyone's interested in the story:

Yeah, I didn't think of turning it into a puzzle, just a tongue in cheek reference since I was adding up signees.

But that's an idea. Puzzles. It's been a while.

So sorry, my current schedule doesn't agree with brainden mafia. Might return later.

[Yoruichi-san]

Alright, since it seems my evil schemes to draw interest have failed :/, and I've finished writing the intro, here's what I propose:

 

I will (semi) randomly remove 1 Supervillain and 2 Justice Leaguers, but I will not reveal which roles were removed.  (Of course, some roles will know if other roles were removed)

 

Any objections?  I'll give 24 hours for anyone to voice them, otherwise then I'll get the game thread started.  

 

Thanks for your patience.

[dee_tot]

I'm ok with it.

[phil1882]

yeah i dont think we can do any better sorry y.

[Yoruichi-san]

Lol no problem.  Thanks for everyone's efforts tho .

 

One change will be made in the rules in lieu of the new situation:  blocks will no longer be shown in the NP, but players will be privately informed if they are blocked, but not who by.
