Mass Effect 1 - Thorian (Cult) Wins!

[DirtyDishSoap]

Many choices lie ahead, none of them easy.

Rules...

Spoiler

1. This game is moderated by me (DirtyDishSoap) and my Co-Mod (DJFireside). Our laws are final and whatever we say, goes. However we are not infallible and may make mistakes, if we make a mistake we'll do our best to fix it.

2. Do not quote any PMs you receive from the Mod. The only things you may post (loosely paraphrasing) are your roles (and anything associated with them) and alignment, during the active game. Once the game has concluded, feel free to post the rest of your personal information.

3. All ‘votes’ and ‘unvotes’ must be in bold and in GREEN. If they are not, they will not be tallied. (I.E. Vote DirtyDishSoap)
** If you vote two or more times consecutively without an unvote in between them, then the first vote will be the one that gets tallied. **

4. Lynching requires a majority of the town vote, and once the majority has been reached any and all unvotes will not be counted.

5. Once your death scene has been posted, you are dead. You can wish your team luck or make a joke, but no revealing of any information, no matter how miniscule it is.

6. You may vote ‘no lynch’ to end the day without a death.

7. The game will not be discussed outside this thread, unless your role specifically says you may do so.

8. Do not edit/delete previous posts. Whatever you say goes into historical record.

9. Joking in the thread is fine, but don’t let it get carried away and take over as spam

10. Be attentive and active in the game. If I see you are not posting at all, I will prod all those who are inactive. If there is no timely response, you will be replaced.

11. Days 1 will only last 5 days real time. This will hopefully keep players active and skip into night action. You may still vote for a lynch during this time frame. All other Days will have a 2 week deadline unless there is a lynch.

12. I will not provide fake claims. It is up to you to use your wits and be (somewhat) knowledgeable about the theme. A quick internet search will give you a plethora of information to work off of.

13. Each game ‘night’ will not last more than 72 hours. If I have not received your night choice within 72 hours, you will have lost your choice action (I.E. for mafia, there would be a ‘no kill’, etc).

14. If you have any questions about whether you should or shouldn’t do something, or just need some clarification, feel free to PM me.

15. No posting of win conditions!

16. Personal attacks and insults against other players will not be tolerated. Remember the most important rule is rule 18. If I feel that players are getting carried away and descending into personal insults, I will warn the players I feel involved. If these continue I will not hesitate to wave the mod kill stick.

17. Be wary of mass claims! Mechanisms have been put in place that make this dangerous!

18. Have fun and keep it friendly!

I'll be sure to feed him too, such a damn travesty he never played the game. Are you signing up to strike or just expressing outrage? Lol

[strike wolf]

FemShep get!

Spoilers of first game:

Spoiler

Kaiden: You're romancing Liara but I was hoping you'd romance me.

Femshep: Look. I'm not really into aliens or even other women really but you're just so boring and I can't romance Garrus or Thane or even Jacob till game two but really wanted that romance achievement so Liara.

Kaiden: *cries*

FemShep: Don't worry I'm going to let you die on Virmire anyways so you don't have to think about it too long!

[DirtyDishSoap]

I'll be sure to feed the poor soul too. Lol. How can you skip this masterpiece?!

Whoever gets Shepard can bang any alien of his or her choice

[Pikanchion]

We'll bang, ok?

[madmitch]

in please

[Ragian]

Skip? I don't know what it is. Enlighten me, og brothers of the light (and sisters...)!

[dakky21]

Skip? I don't know what it is. Enlighten me, og brothers of the light (and sisters...)!

Mass Effect trilogy is one of the best games I've played, even bought 4th game - Andromeda, but still didn't give it a shot.
It's a space based shooter/adventure.

So, I'm in!

[Ragian]

A shoot 'em up game mixed with adventure stuff? Sounds nice. Not that I've played such games since the first Wolfenstein, though

[Skittles!]

In af even tho I've never played ME

Yeah, and it's like 30% shooting and 70% adventuring, exploring and talking with other characters or even romancing with them. Multiple choices for answers, so it can affect the story. You can be bad or good in the game. All decisions transfer over to Mass Effect 2, and after that in ME3, so how you set your character in ME1 will have impact on your ME2 and ME3 characters.

I suggest you to watch at least few minutes of the walk-through, to get a sense of what's going on.

[dakky21]

BTW. The main protagonist is called Shepard and can be both male or female, depending what you chose.

Got another one strike.

For those that have not played, I highly recommend on reading the lore of the first game, main characters and events. It'll be crucial for you to determine who you are and what others may be. Just my suggestion. Looking out for you homies.

[strike wolf]

Here's some of the characters. Probable good guys: Shepard, Tali, Garrus, Wrex, Ashley and Kaiden (though even among those at least one would be likely fake claim territory). Other prominent good guys: Joker (pilot), Engineer Adams, Dr. Chakwas and Admiral (or whatever his rank was in the first game) Anderson. Prominent a hole who is unlikely to be a villain: Ambassador Udina.

Depending on how complex DDS makes the game, you may also have a town or third party group among the Councilors (Asari, Salarian and Turian.) They're not going to be antitown but they may have their own win objective that could be slightly different. Otherwise I put them in the same boat as Udina.

Probable mafia: Saren, Matriarch Benezia, Geth and one I'm hesitant to mention because even though they'll be in the game, it would be a major spoiler and I recommend at least going through a video on the game's plot first.

There are also a few small roles, DDS could potentially sub in if he wants to provide better fake claims to mafia.

To be fair, Mass Effect is more than simple Adventure shooter. It's an RPG shooter where you can also select abilities to use and improve based on what class you picked (I always liked the ability to practically go gunless in killing everyone with biotics in 2 or 3 but with the shooting mechanics of the first game, I would go with a class that either allows you to snipe so you have at least one gun with better aim or a durable class where you don't mind getting in close and blasting everyone to smithereens when you do.)

For the record, Andromeda isn't as good as the first 3 well 2 3/4ths before the 3Rd one got a bit frustrating BUT I did enjoy it and am already working through a second play through...slowly.

[DirtyDishSoap]

I'll be a bit lenient of giving fake claims if the player(s) that happen to draw scum are unfamiliar with ME and try to give them a better understanding rather than have them go in blind. That's as far as I'm willing to stretch it, rather have people try to be creative.

I love ME and I don't think a mafia game will do it any justice on just how creative and complex it can actually be. I did my best though to mix things up, and hopefully y'all will enjoy the set up.

I will say that any fans of the Mass Effect trilogy will be disappointed with Andromeda...The writing is...A lack luster? It definitely doesn't have the ME vibe. There are also a lot of time line issues that I'm seeing or something that would be obvious made me go "Huh?" Honestly, I think it's just EA being EA and pushing a developing company make a quick cash grab.

If this mafia game is successful, I'll play with the idea of the other two games in the future, though I'll probably leave out Andromeda. Lol.

[Ragian]

I've been meaning to ask, DDS, what is your sig thing? General doing away with intolerance?

[strike wolf]

It's just Neo being sensitive about his weight.

[DirtyDishSoap]

I've been meaning to ask, DDS, what is your sig thing? General doing away with intolerance?

It's basically me vs American drama TV. Pretty sure we're a giant soap opera now at this point.

[Fircoal]

Looking to try my hand at modding. The theme follows the first game of Mass Effect. (If anyone wants to help co-mod this game, please PM me).

17 players required.

Game will start after No Theme or Lion King has ended.

My suggestion is you pair your timing around No Theme, and I'll do mine around Lion King so they both don't collide with each other. (Although I feel like mine will be more like No Theme in tone while I don't know how yours will be like.)

Also in.

[DirtyDishSoap]

Mine will have some odd things happen. About all I can say.

But I'll do that, tie it with no theme.

FOS strike for trying to be helpful townie. I have only played andromeda and enjoying it at the moment. Can't play unfortunately basically because I have seen the set up
