Can I play?

Forum name: CarrieVS (but you can call me Carrie)
Game name: can I let you know later? I suck at names - suggestions welcome. If I don't think of anything before it starts I'll just be Carrie. (maybe my parents thought they were having a girl)
Game gender: male, why not.

[EDIT: going with Moo's idea, 'Cat-eye Carrie']

In the last game I felt as if sometimes people were so into their characters that they did things that were not in the best interests of their team. Let's see some really vicious plotting, strategising and accusation flinging. I'd like each of you to have a blood feud with at least one of your forum mates by the end of the game.


That bein' said, I still enjoy a bit of the ol' finger-pointin' and characterizing. Arrrrgh!

I would like to play, but I've never played a forum game like this before. So the idea of tagging along sends 'A shiver up me timber' so to speak. It sounds fun, but I don't want to ruin other people's fun by not knowing how I'm supposed to participate. For example, how do I know when to, who to, or even how to eliminate someone? Or what would determine me being eliminated? If all that has already been explained I'm deeply sorry for missing it, I must have not understood. But if anyone could be so kind as to walk me through the basics a little I would love to join.

Skyrim, the game is fairly simple to understand. As stated before, at the start you will be assigned to one of the three teams. If you are on either Orange's or Phighter's team, then you will know everyone that is on your team. Your team will also (if they're smart) set up a private message chain so that you can coordinate who to kill at night and who to vote to lynch during the day. If you are on team Tortuga, you have no idea who is on what team, and the game turns much more into "hysterical hearsay" than "cold calculation."

There are two phases: Night and Day

During the night phases, one of the pirate teams will vote who to kill in the night. Also, those people who have powers that work in the night (the Converter and Scanner) will send a PM to Orange and Phighter telling them what you want to do. Once the night orders are sent in, the GMs will make a write up where what happended that night will be detailed. It will then shift to the day phase.

During the day, the people of the town will vote who to lynch. Generally, votes to lynch have been in red and vote retractions have been in some other color. At the lynching, you can vote to lynch anyone and everyone. After a length of time, the GMs will shut down the voting and do a write up stating who was lynched. It then shifts to the night phase.The process repeats itself until the ending condition is met (in this case, until there is only one team left).

I hope this helped. I recommend looking here and here to see how the game looks in action.

Please, don't be afraid to join up. The more the merrier.

I think I'm going to keep thinking of Sryim as Skyrim now.

Honestly, it's also easier to play than it is to explain. You'll pick it up and be gleefully stabbing people in the back in no time.
