Heroes Hybrid

--Rules--

-This game only takes place in 24hr cycles. All actions must be decided within 20hrs, and the post will go up in the following 4hrs. From here on in the instructions and descriptions, Cycles=Days=Nights. It’s all the same.

-All roles must PM their action/inaction to me each night if they are able to take action. Failure to send a PM confirming the decision of action or inaction will result in default use of the ability with no effect. (Ex. If no PM is received by HRG during a given cycle, he will use his kill ability, but it will not harm anyone, and he will not be able to use it again the next day). All of a team’s role actions may be collectively PMed to me by a single member of the team.

-There is no lynch vote. As a result, there is little incentive for a great deal of posting in the thread, except for any conversation made in an effort to learn the roles of the unsided players. So the more conversation, the more likely a team will make a successful draft.

-Every day, each team may make one collective kill attempt, in addition to whatever actions are taken by the kill roles.

-At team may satisfy a double-source kill during a particular night by sacrificing the following night’s group kill… Rephrased: a team may use the current night’s kill, AND choose to sacrifice their following night’s kill, in order to fulfill a double-source kill. Because the members of the team risk too much to successfully make the kill against their target, they would spend the next night recovering.

--Drafting--

-ONCE* Every day, each team may choose one player to draft from the group of 5 unsided players. In order to successfully make a draft, the team must PM me the correct name AND role of the unsided player. If a player is drafted, they will be aligned with the drafting team, and will gain BTSC with them. However, the opposing team will not be informed whether or not the draft was successful.

-If a team makes a guess, and they are incorrect, then they are informed only that the draft failed. If one team has already drafted someone... then the other team tries to draft that same person, they are informed only that the draft failed. If both teams attempt to draft the same person on the same night, then both teams are informed that the draft failed.

-*Teams may also purchase additional draft attempts by sacrificing the use of a chosen role’s ability.

-No team may draft the MIA member of the other team.

--Role Inequality Exchange--

- At any time, on the thread, a team member may make a formal guess about the identity of any player that does not have BTSC with the guesser. In order to make this guess, the player must disclose a TRUE statement about any Player AND Role on his/her team (with current BTSC), in the form of "<NAME> is not <ROLE>". Following this, the opposing team may take up the offer or refuse it. If they take up the offer, they respond in kind with a guess of their own about any player not on their team, and also must provide a true statement about one of their members in the abovementioned form. After this is completed, I will PM each team with the truthfulness of their guess (in terms of 'right' or 'wrong'). However, if they refuse to take up the first team's offer, nobody can start a new round of guessing until the refusing team finally accepts the offer. There is no limit to how often this RIE may occur. [Note= the same inequality statement cannot be made twice (though you can use the same player again, just with a different role, and you can use the same role twice, just with different players), and it must pertain to a living player whose identity has not been publicly confirmed.]

There are three groups. (Starting with 5 players per team)

The Company:

*All-but the MIA members have BTSC*

Objective: Kill all of the Hero members including the MIA player.

• Mr. Petrelli – Any night but not two in a row, he may steal the ability of any living role for the night. But when he does, he will be outed to the role that he stole from after the following post. If the role is already dead, then the steal fails. If the ability was going to be in use by the chosen role, then they would not be able to use it until the following night. (*Stealing the ability of a player that has BTSC with the company, counts as a use for that player. Stealing the Ability of anyone else, does not count as a use by the target).

• Linderman – 1) Every night will be able to choose any person to protect for the night, but not the same person two nights in a row (this ability may be used on himself). OR 2) Any night but not two in a row, instead of protecting someone, Linderman may come to the rescue of any person that died the night before. He will be able to choose any person after they have died from a single attack and revive them. However, he will not be able to revive a person that was attacked by more than two sources (double-source kill) at the same time. Linderman may not use this ability on himself.

• Candice - Any night but not two in a row, she may choose any person and change their reality. Candice’s target is randomly redirected to anyone. However, Candice may specify three players that will not be redirected towards.

• HRG – The man with the Horned Rimmed Glasses. Any night but not two in a row, HRG gets to kill one person. He is outed when he dies.

• The Haitian – Any night but not two in a row, selects one player that will lose their role ability for that night.

• Elle – Any night but not two in a row, Elle may electrocute someone to death.

The Heroes

*All-but the MIA members have BTSC*

Objective: Kill all of the Company members including the MIA player.

• Peter –Any night but not two in a row, Peter gets to visit one person, and uses that person's ability on them. If Peter is visited by 3 or more people on the same night he will blow up and take everyone else that visited him with him. (IF peter chooses Ted, then peter gains Ted’s invincibility, however, he also mimics Ted’s kill ability and thus subtracts 1 from Ted’s double-source kill).

• Nathan – He can save someone each night by flying them to safety, but not the same person two nights in a row.

• Mohinder Suresh – Any night but not two in a row, Mohinder may inject any other player with a serum that will allow the person to perform their ability for the second night in a row (of course this excludes saving roles that work every night. And yes, the second use counts as a use and therefore the ability would not be used on the third night). Because this is not a power, this ability may not be stolen by Mr. Petrelli, nor reflected by Peter.

• DL – Any night he can save one person, but not the same person two nights in a row, and only as long as Niki isn’t killing someone. If Niki dies, then DL gets restricted to use his ability any night but not two in a row.

• Niki – Any night she can kill one person, as long as DL isn’t saving someone. If DL dies, then Niki gets restricted to use her ability any night but not two in a row.

• Ted – With his radioactive powers, he can kill someone any night but not two in a row. Also, due to his radioactivity, it is difficult for any one person to get close enough to make an effective kill on him. However, if Ted is attacked by more than one source (double-source kill), enough damage will be done to cause Ted’s death. Also, Ted can never be saved by anyone.

The Unsided

*No BTSC until drafted*

Objective: Survive till the end, or win with the drafted team.

• Matt Parkman – Any night but not two in a row, he may choose one person to read their mind and find their role. The target will be notified that they were discovered. He cannot be protected two nights in a row.

• Claire Bennet – May save one person any night but not two nights in a row, and she can’t save herself. She is invincible to everyone (except Peter's explosion) as long as HRG is alive.

• Isaac Mendez – Each day he paints a picture showing the events of the night before and learns the roles of the people that died. Also, any night but not two in a row, Isaac may paint the picture of the role of his choosing, and show the action that was taken by that role the night before.

***The unsided group will also have two MIA members (They do not start with BTSC with their teams)

• +1 Random Killer Role Company Member without BTSC

• +1 Random Killer Role Hero Member without BTSC

These two roles will only be able to be drafted by their credited teams, at which point, they will regain BTSC.

*Tip: Keep in mind that the opposing team will also be looking for all hints possibly given by the MIA players, and IDing an opposing team's killer role would make a juicy target.

[Brandonb]

There is still one spot remaining, and maybe one or two more depending on Mekal and Slick’s decisions.

So far the roster looks something like this

Y-san

Itachi

Frost

Marth

Kathleen

Crazy Painter

Sinistral

reaymond

Also, as soon as the roster is filled, they will be randomly rearranged and will be posted like this:

The Company

2)

3)

4)

5)

The Unsided

1)

2)

3)

4)

5)

The Heroes

5)

This will publicly show every player on each team. However, their particular roles will not be shown.

If there are any questions please ask in the thread.

Meaning...everyone knows who the baddies and goodies are, just not their specific characters (ie. Claire Bennet)? Well, that makes life easier

[Guest]

This question might sound stupid, but I don't get what a MIA character is

<(^-^)>

Maybe, Maybe not... I really have no how this thing could turn out...

Not a bad question at all.

There will be two MIA players. One that is taken from each Team (one hero, one Company Member). They will not have BTSC with their original team until they have been drafted. So even though each team has a list of six roles, there will only be five of them with BTSC at the beginning of the game. The other will be hiding among the Unsided Players.

Also, something that I forgot to include in the intro stuff... The two MIA players will not know their own identities until they have been drafted. They will obviously know that they are MIA, and therefore will have a kill ability. But they will not know who they are, so they will not know which side to attack, UNTIL one of two things happens...

Ah, ok, so they can basically do nothing at night, so they know they're MIA. Also, why are there cycles if we don't lynch during the day?

They can do something if they want... They could go and kill a random person if they felt like it .

Cycles are there, so that I can make some pathetic attempt at writing epic posts . All players get 20hrs to make their decisions about what actions or inactions they will take with their roles. And so teams may decide who they want to try and draft, and make whatever RIE deals they want. Once the 20hrs is up, I make the post about how the battle went down, and inform the teams about their draft attempt. Then it begins again with 24hrs till the next post.

Oh, btw, are we waiting for someone to confirm their place in the game? I was reading your signature, and it says that two slots are on hold and there are 2 back-ups

I'm usually not this impatient, it's just that I only have 2 hours left before I leave and won't be back on for another 21 hours

Still need one more player for sure (I just got a PM so it may be filled) then I need to hear back from Mekal and aka and depending on their responses I may need another one or two players. Then, once I have the roster filled I will randomize the roles and send them out to the players. Hopefully all of this and the intro post will be up by tonight. I think the 24hr cycles will be running at about 8:00est (a little over 7hrs from now).

Heh, I was going to go with the no-lynches idea for ABR 4-2 Oh well, I'll change that idea now This looks cool btw, I'll play 2 characters if you want since at least 1 of mine will be targeted a.s.a.p.

, as much as I would love to see how that would turn out, I think that'll confudle everyone (especially if you end up being a goodie and a baddie! would luv to see how you kill yourself )

LOL, Thanks!

Also, I'm hoping that this new full-disclosure format will put an end to that. Opposing players should be more afraid of the roles than the "what if a player is actually in that faction" paranoia. Now they will know you are not on their team... but you may not be worth attacking to them, depending on your role .

[Guest]

I think I'd like to play this game, if a role is still open (it sounds like it is). I can be very active during the weekdays, and active at least a few times every 24 hours for the weekends. I'm in EST, and look forward to playing.

[dms172]

i'd like to plsy but i'm sure it's full

[akaslickster]

i'd like to plsy but i'm sure it's full

You can play for me. I may need more time to read and I have no lap-top.

I'm better off as a back up in case of accidental death or sickness.

Sounds Cool I'm glad I joined

[Guest]

So has it started yet BrandonB? Sorry sometimes I'm impatient

[unreality]

Don't worry, you're nowhere near as impatient as Brandonb himself :P

[Guest]

Maybe not, but I'm excited too I'm assuming we'll get a PM with our roles when it starts though, right?

yes. And patience is a virtue not many of us here have....

[Guest]

yes. And patience is a virtue not many of us here have....

Especially when it comes to Mafia.

[Guest]

Well, that's ok I guess, so long as it doesn't get frustrating for the people hosting . Anyways... *goes back to doing his homework*

[Brandonb]

OK, roles will be PMed soon. All of the roles have been assigned.
