7/25 Risk WW Game Thread

[Risk Mod]

This is Risk, a WW mish mash game. There are villagers, there are wolves, there are no neutrals. Here is the villager PM:

You are a villager

Your territory is XXX

You have x units on your territory

You win by eliminating all of the wolves

Territories

Every player started off with precisely one territory. You must possess at least one territory containing at least one unit to remain alive. If a territory is depleted of all units, you forfeit that territory to the player who conquered your final unit. If you no longer own any territories, you are dead.

Everybody gets 1 unit of reinforcements a night starting n2. You can either choose which territory you want it on or it will be rand()ed.

Attacks:

The attack period will start on d2. You can choose one player whose territory to invade per day by bolding: INVADE [player name]

The possible outcomes of an invasion are:
-target instantly dies and the attacker inherits any territories in the targeted player’s possession
-target loses one unit from a territory owned
-attacker loses one unit from a territory owned
-no effect

Note that unlike the board game, you are permitted to attack from a territory that only contains 1 unit. Also note that you run the risk of forfeiting the territory if your attack fails and death if it is your only territory.

If you own multiple territories, you can PM me before attacking to designate the territory from which to attack. If I do not receive a PM, the attack will be defaulted to your territory containing the most units. If your target owns multiple territories, the attack will default to the territory containing the fewest units. Location will be disregarded, so attacking Kamchatka from Japan will be no more or less effective than attacking Kamchatka from Brazil.

If an attack successfully kills a player and/or conquers one of his territories, you will receive a risk card.

Risk Cards:

Every player starts off as vanilla. You acquire powers through conquering territories and receiving risk cards that yield powers. Once you acquire a risk card, you will receive a PM from the mod specifying the details of the power that your card holds and may utilize it accordingly.

Lynches:

Every day there will be a lynch. Each lynched player’s territories will be assigned to a live player(s) for reasons which have been pre-determined by the mod.

IT IS NIGHT STFU

POG Rules
Do not attack or insult other players in the game. A little bit can be overlooked; if it becomes excessive, or contravenes 2+2 site rules, then Moderator action may be taken. You should focus on attacking a persons ideas, actions or logic - not the poster as an individual. If you feel someone is crossing the line with namecalling, you should PM a POG Mod (Legend42, gtpitch or Zurvan) who is not currently playing in the game. Post reports should be avoided if mods are playing the game, as it may provide them additional unfair information based on who is reporting. Standard 2+2 rules violations (ie, telling someone to perish in a oily conflagration, inline nudity) can be reported with the Post Notification button.

Wagering on the game is not allowed.

2+2 Terms of Service and site rules are to be observed at all times

One account per player - you may not play in a game with multiple accounts, nor should you attempt to use a well known account to extract information from other players while you play on a gimmick account.


Basic Rules

No editing posts

No deleting posts

Do not copy/paste, screen shot, or otherwise post your Role PM.

Any other PMs or private communication with the Game mod is not to be posted in the thread

Any time you have rule questions - be it general questions, or those about specific game rules - contact the Mod in private. Do not post the question in thread, and do not expect the mod to see any questions posted.

No communication outside the game thread with ANY other players in the game about the game, unless it is specifically allowed by your role, and only within such times as are specified in the role PM.



Voting

Each day, each player is allowed (and encouraged) to vote to lynch a player. To do so, type the name of the player in bold; if you want to be sure the moderator sees it, you could be so kind as to write something like "vote: Zurvan", but it is not required.You may abbreviate the name of the player, provided it is clear to other players (and the moderator) whom you mean.

You may remove your vote by posting "unvote". You may change your vote simply by voting the new player; you do not need to unvote.

At the end of the scheduled game day, the player with the most votes is lynched, and his role revealed in the thread. If two or more players are tied for the most votes, one of the tied players is chosen randomly by the moderator.


The Timing

All times give are server time, which is also Eastern Standard Time.

I will open the thread every morning by posting "It is day." You may not post in the thread until I have made the morning post.

Day lasts until 8:00 PM EST. Posting at 8:00 PM EST is acceptable, and votes with that time stamp will be counted. Posting after that, even just a minute after, is not acceptable, even if I have not yet declared it night by posting "It is night." Do not post in the thread at any time, for any reason, between the end of the day and the opening of the thread the next morning.

Weekends are different: There is not "night" Saturday night -- the thread remains open from Saturday morning until Sunday evening. There is no scheduled Saturday night lynch.


Communication

Villagers may not communicate with any other player in the game, other than by posting in this thread. Any communication about the substance of the game (i.e., anything beyond the fact that the game is being played and that you are in it) is prohibited.

Wolves may communicate with each other by any means they desire during wolf chat.

Wolves have 24 hour chat

Questions and Confirmation

Any questions regarding the rules should be submitted to the moderator by PM.

Other Rules

Participation

Werewolf is a participatory game. While it may be good strategy simply never to post, it is not fun for other players when people play that way. Accordingly, everyone is expected to participate on a regular basis.

This means that everyone is expected to post something every day, but it means more than that. Popping into the thread once a day to say "posting to avoid modkill" is an excellent way to get modkilled.

If you aren't going to be able to post at all on a given game day, tell me beforehand. Life happens; we get that. Once or twice is not an enormous problem, but if it's going to be an ongoing issue, we'll have to find you a substitute.

If you go a full day without posting, I will seek a substitute and possibly modkill you

Angleshooting

Lying is not only allowed, it is expected.

Quoting or paraphrasing communications with or PMs from the mod is not allowed.

Player assistance with vote counts will be greatly appreciated when the moderator is not available. If you make a mistake while doing one, that's to be expected. Do not intentionally make any, though.

Posting after day has ended, whether I have called "night" or not, is not allowed.

Discussing the game outside the thread is not allowed. Sometimes this comes up when someone is in two games at once; basically, the most you can say outside this thread is that the game is going on, and so-andso was or is in it.

Posting in the thread after you're dead is not allowed, much. You may post once after you are killed, if you want, but you may not say anything substantive -- "go, village" or "take it down, wolves" are about the limit. After that, stay out of the thread; root, but root silently.

It is best if after you are dead you don't discuss the substance of the game with anyone else in the game, or even other people, until it's over.

If you are ever unsure about whether something is or is not allowed PM the game mod and ask.

IT IS STILL NIGHT

[Risk Mod]

Other stuff:
1. If you have a question about the game DO NOT ask it in the thread. PM me and I will answer in the thread.
2. If you did not receive a role PM DO NOT POST IN THE THREAD. PM me and I will immediately rectify.
3. Dead posts of any kind are not allowed.
4. There is no majority lynch.
5. Feel free to PM me questions at any time.

Claiming territories and/or powers:

You are free to claim any territories or acquired powers at any time, but do so at your own risk. There may be consequences to doing so.

IT IS STILL NIGHT

[Risk Mod]

OK I think that covers the important stuff. If I missed anything I will just make gratuitous mod notes

IT IS DAY MOTHER****ERS!

Dean, edit OP, add spade, profit

[fnord_too]

Ok, so I joined up expecting to do some serious world conquering, but it looks like invading might actually be not so hot for the village. (I wasn't really sure what the game was supposed to be like, but I like risk, and I really want to invade someone.)

[Priptonite]

Just about to go to bed. I'll be posting from work tomorrow.

boa noite, meus amigos

[Aaronk56's Son]

I was going to invade Fnord but then I rechecked op and there is no invading till D2. But anyways, gaining risk cards is super important. Also in our Skype Risk games we always played increasing tradeins so I imagine something similar is in place here. Cause Dean is modding.
