Red versus Blue - Day 8 - Game Over
« on: January 09, 2013, 02:02:35 AM »
This is a forum game of my own invention that I would like to try out. I may use new rules in the future depending on how it turns out, but I figure may as well start.

Red vs. Blue

1. Each player is assigned a color - either red or blue - in secret via pm.
2. Each "day cycle", which lasts 24 hours, every player pms me the name of someone they want to convert to their own color.
2a. You cannot attempt to convert yourself to your own color. Self targetting will be ineffective.
3. Every 24 hours (or once I?ve received commands from every player), I tell all affected players their new color, and the game progresses a day.
4. In the event that an equal number of players from both sides target someone, their color will not change. (Tie means no change)
5. Whichever color is the last color standing wins.
6. If the game lasts 8 days, the majority team wins.
7. The number of red players and blue players remaining will be announced at the beginning of each day.

You may talk as much as you want in thread. As of now, the only rules are those listed above.

Signups begin now.

I remember you talking about this, just a few questions:
Is it suposed to be completely random? Without even knowing your own color, there's no way to tell if you're winning or losing.
What's the point of talking if you don't know your team ever?
"Whichever color is the last color standing wins." <-- How many rounds is this going to go, because 23 blues hunting for 1 red that keeps changing could go on forever, I'd seriously consider 7 rounds or something.

You will be informed of your own color at the beginning of the game via pm. No one else will be informed of your color. You will also be informed whenever you are changed to red or blue, and the number of red players and blue players remaining will be announced at the beginning of each day.

If the game lasts too long, 7 rounds is fine, with victory to the majority.

Things you might want to note, players won't know how is what colour will they? So how do we choose who to target? And after we target them how do we know if they've changed?
I'll be in though, assuming the game works.

Interesting game! The fact that it looks to me like a variant of Mafia is making me think twice about joining in, though.
Will Mafia experts start with a considerable edge over inexperienced players? If so, I think I'll just watch (and learn, hopefully :V)

All PMs are sent. Please PM me if you have not received your PM.

Once upon a time, there were two armies in a box canyon. And they were red and blue. And they fought eachother. Why?

"Because they're blue and we're red. What more reason do you need?"

"Because they aren't blue like us, and thus must be destroyed."

And thus, a war began.
