A VuTales-themed forum game, along the lines of Mafia. Read the thread however, the rules aren’t all the same.
Edit: Raczynski changed to Bogdan due to popular demand and ease of spelling.
Roles
Bogdan
V
Basiler
VuTalerAt the beginning of the game, I choose one Bogdan and one V among the people who are playing. Everyone else has a 2/3 chance to be a Basiler and 1/3 to be a VuTaler.
Bogdan
His goal is to ban V, or ban all the other VuTalers. At the beginning of each round (except the first), I PM him, and he gets to choose a person to ban or no one at all. When someone is banned, I post the username of the banned person on the thread.V
His goal is to find out who Bogdan is so that he can IP block him from VuTales. At the start of the game and after each Bogdan’s turn, I message V, who selects a person to investigate. I then tell him the role of that person (Basiler, VuTaler, or Bogdan), and post their username on the thread (but not their role). Once that happens, the round enters the equivalent of the ‘daytime’ phase.Basilers
The Basilers’ goal is to report V to Bogdan for stealing his site’s layout. During the daytime phase, everyone reports one person by posting their username on the thread. Banned peoples’ reports count as half. The person who is reported the most that day is banned. In case of a tie, no one is banned.VuTalers
The VuTalers are hidden among the Basilers, and their goal is to undermine the Basilers’ attempt by reporting anyone but V (see above). Each VuTaler knows V’s identity, but not each other. You could abuse this by trying to cooperate, but people can always lie (screenshots are forgeable), so I’d advise against it 🙂Everyone
Reports during the reporting phase. This includes Bogdan and V. Banned people can vote once after their ban before they are out for good, so in this sense they can have some sort of a last word/revenge/etc.Win Conditions
If the current V is banned, his identity will be revealed and the first VuTaler to PM me, with “imwithvusys” somewhere in the message, will become the new V. If there are no VuTalers remaining, Bogdan and the Basilers win.
If the current Bogdan comes under investigation by V, he is removed from the game (equivalent to a ban), his identity revealed, and I will randomly choose another Basiler to replace him. If there are no Basilers remaining, V and the VuTalers win.
Also, if Bogdan is banned through a vote, the second person regardless of role to PM me with “lolbasil” in the message will become the new Bogdan. If by this rule any VuTaler (including V) becomes Bogdan, VuTalers win.
Disclaimers
Seeing as I just made up much of this on the spot, it hasn’t been tested at all. If the rules clearly favor a certain side, I’ll tweak it some more for balance. Be aware of this, and know that I don’t guarantee any fairness… yet. 🙂Checked and it’s quite fair, at least if people ban/vote randomly. I’m still not entirely sure whether it’s easier for one side or the other to mindgame a win, hehe.The masculine pronouns ‘he’, ‘him’, and ‘his’, used in reference to Bogdan and V, refer to their roles and not the people behind them.
Roles are assigned randomly, by this Lua script:
players = {
‘player1’,
‘player2’,
‘player3’,
‘etc’
}
bogdan, v, vutalers, basilers = ”, ”, ”, ”— assign Bogdan
i = math.random(#players)
bogdan, players[i] = players[i], false— assign V
repeat i = math.random(#players) until players[i]
v, players[i] = players[i], false— everyone else
for i = 1, #players do
if players[i] then
if math.random() < 2/7 then
vutalers = vutalers .. players[i] .. ‘ ‘
else
basilers = basilers .. players[i] .. ‘ ‘
end
end
end— print output strings
print(‘Bogdan: ‘ .. bogdan)
print(‘V: ‘ .. v)
print(‘Basilers: ‘ .. basilers)
print(‘VuTalers: ‘ .. vutalers)Basiler’s the largest player group, so it’s perfectly normal to be one multiple times in a row. Better luck next time.

Instead of
Raczynski.So basically, there’s a group of ‘basilers’ and ‘VuTalers’. Amongst them is one Bogdan and one V respectively. B and V ban a person, and everyone starts pointing a finger at another person.
Right?
I don’t get it. 🙁
Isn’t this kind of against the entire point of actually connecting Basil and VuTales? So Bogdan doesn’t actually get pissed off and sue Vusys?
I would still play though, seems interesting.
OMG i just saw Bogdan on TV!
no lies, it was really him. It was part of that wierd video where we was sitting at a table at some restaurant.:O

WHERE?
it was so weird. I was watching this free preview of some music channel (I think its Toronto based), and he was on the commercial. And then i ran to my computer to tell someone.
Rofl. Really. He lives in Toronto though, so you, pirkid and his sister can gang up and beat him into submission. :3
ahah yeahh, i can bus it down to his place. And actually, I think ganzy lives closer to me that pirkid does.
