As written by Die Hard:

There has been a robot invasion in Explosm City, and the robots have killed Rob and now the citizens are seeking revenge. Sounds easy enough, just find and kill the robots. But the thing is, they can disguise themselves as humans. The robots are pissed, and are trying to kill all the humans. We need to find and kill all the robots before they wipe us all out of Explosm City.

Also, Die Hard Adds:

We can put more info in the actual thread
And we aren't changing it up, it's still going to be the same. We're just trying to make it simple and not have everything get fucked up

There will be four classes: Army, Civilians, Evil Robots, and Good Robots. Details and such will be in main game thread, when people sign up, and in PM's.

[Far]

Post an actual outline of the game by tomorrow or I'm closing this. There's no info as of yet that would make anyone want to play.

[MrDoctor]

I'm in.

[jewishjosh]

People* will sign up anyway, even though, judging by the title, this looks like a carbon copy of the last five games.

*People like me. This is me saying I'm in.

[Benjaman]

Okay, I'll write an outline of the game. If their is a large enough vote, we'll switch it up a bit.

[Benjaman]

[Will Not Delete]

[DieHard]

How about you put that in your first post

[Penguin_Of_Death]

I'll join the game.

[GCBC]

[Dauntasa]

[Inseln]

Count me in too please.

[jewishjosh]

Will there be secret roles?
ROBots???
Or can you not tell us yet?

[Benjaman]

If I answered your question either way it would arouse suspicion.
Haha, arouse.

[blltmssgy]

I am in this thing.

[Dauntasa]

If I answered your question either way it would arouse suspicion.
Haha, arouse.

That arouses more suspicion in me than a simple yes or no would have.
My suspicion is very aroused, if you know what I mean.

Look out Benjaman.

[Shadowpriest]

[jewishjosh]

Nice, I started a trend.

[ryuuzaki]

[Dresden]

I'll do it.

[Robo_Sexual]

My type of game. I'd like to play. :D

[gordanthefree]

I am in :). I haven't played a game before :D

[Mantaur]

Yeah why not count me in

[Knight of Cydonia]

I'm in. We broke tradition with killing me off first round once so why can't we do it again!

[Con-Con]

I'm in!

[Far]

Make this a good one, this is the last type of these games I'm approving for a bit. All the rest before hand have sucked out loud.

Yessir :salute:

Remember to look for clues outside the thread, and look at posts that me/Die Hard have made that we've edited clues in.

[Werty]

Benj, try and limit the clues outside of the thread. They're usually a pain in the ass if you've never been to the showcase forum. Same with the clues; make them something obvious, but not too obvious. Like Zephyrus - I highly doubt that it's common knowledge to know that it's a west wind - but that may just be me, and then again you can't really clue to someone like that without being obvious...

None the less, try and limit the insanely hard clues.

[blltmssgy]

I'm in. Killing me off in the first round was fun so why can't we do it again!

You want us to kill you off in the first round again? Fine with me.

[Triple J]

I'm in.

[History]

I'll play again.

[davidmanman]

I'll join as well.

[Awsumerthanyou]

Sign me up!

[ryuuzaki]

Come on we just need nine more

[gordanthefree]

Sign me up bitches :D

[Spiffy13]

Sign me up.

Yeah, I wouldn't do anything too drastic, but if you work more finding the clue, then you'll have an easier time finding it out. And when I said out of thread, I mean, like Google someone's user name. That's what I did.

[Miss Freeze]

I'll play

[burningtoad]

i wanna i wanna

[Werty]

Ahh, ok. That's easy enough. But, now we can't use that. :ahe:

[Demoir]

Sign me up.

[Inseln]

I'm a complete noob on the forums, what's the whole clues thing? It can't be like a puzzel mystery can it?

If possible I'd like a quick brief on the game too.

In a PM maybe? So just in case you don't accidentally give anything away

[Mirrorman]

Yeah whatever, I'm in.

[BKS]

Im in

Well, if I were to give a clue, I would type "BlahBlahBlah is a robot" in one of my posts in the thread. You would have to find it, and decipher it, but that one clue doesn't need much deciphering. This could be an anagram, a sentence, a cipher(damn you Dauntasa :argh:), or a link to something. Of course, I would make the clues harder :fmita:

[Sniperfire]

Is it too late to sign up? I wanna play.

[Crabstick]

I'll just go ahead and take the last spot then

Cipher, that the 13-7-9 sorts thing, the page or whatever, the line, then the letter. Right?

Well this should be fun, how long do these things usually go for?
Are we still ghosting ot did it die?

[Con-Con]

Looks like we have 32 people. Hope we can start soon?

[Benjaman]

Yeah, I'll submit the thread once Die Hard and I write a beginning.

[gordanthefree]

Haha, this is going to take years to start isn't it? Oh, well, I can wait.

[Sniperfire]

Same here, i've never played a game like this before.

[Inseln]

So you'll pm us all with the thread link or something when it's up?

[Tweek]

If someone ends up not playing, count me in.

[Knight of Cydonia]

What? Why am I not in the list? I signed up before half of those people! What happened Ben?

[Tweek]

I don't see a post in this thread saying so.

[Pig Fucker]

#18 on the list is KoC, and its right between Mantaur and Con Con (the people that posted before and after you). I'd assume that is you, Knights.

[Tweek]

Oh, my bad.

[DieHard]

Yeah I've been busy, I'll make sure to submit the thread by Friday or the latest, Sunday.

[Dauntasa]

Yeah I've been busy, I'll make sure to submit the thread by Friday or the latest, Sunday.

That sounds familiar.

[DieHard]

Well you were doing it while the game was in progress, and plus I'll have Ben to update it when I'm not around or vice-versa.

[Benjaman]

Well you were doing it while the game was in progress, and plus I'll have Ben to update it when I'm not around or vice-versa.

You can always have me, Die Hard :hmm:

But yeah, we'll have the thread by the weekend, so keep your pants on. Or off, :heya:

[Inseln]

I'd prefer mine on thanks. I'll just get my proverbial underwear in a twist. Promise it'll be here by the weekend?

[Holocaustits]

I'll sign up for a resevespot, there's always one or two that lose interest/fuck up...

[ryuuzaki]

I was just looking through the posts here for white text and I haven't seen any.

[Dauntasa]

I was just looking through the posts here for white text and I haven't seen any.

Then look harder.
Hehe, Harder.

[DieHard]

I was just looking through the posts here for white text and I haven't seen any.

This is the SIGN UP thread idiot, all the clues and stuff are going to be in the actual thread. And yes, we will have it by this weekend.

[Triple J]

I am looking forward to this.

We play this kind of mafia at night time at my camp. Like while cozy in our bunk beds.
It is awesome when you get a good storyteller. (Like getting killed by alligator clips hooked up to a big electric box clamped onto your nipples.) Here's your white text, bitch

[MrDoctor]

Yea are we gonna get our pm's the same time as the story post or a little before then

[ryuuzaki]

I'm sure they will send out the PM's just after the post is made.

[Dauntasa]

Well, due to the fact that the thread has to be approved by Far, the PMs are sent long before the thread appears.

[Far]

And I won't be able to get a computer much this weekend I think so you may have to wait for it to be approved until tuesday.

[gordanthefree]

Oh my fucking god, is this ever going to happen? please do hurry.

USER WAS PUT IN TIMEOUT FOR THIS POST. (http://forums.explosm.net/bankamp/)
Reason: Have a TO while you wait.

[Benjaman]

Oh my fucking god, is this ever going to happen? please do hurry.

Like we said, by the end of the week, Far has to approve the thread, and we have to write the damn thing. Be patient.

[Benjaman]

[Not Deleting]

[Jimith Jamith]

im in O

O wait already 32 people darns

[jewishjosh]

Hey Ben/Die hard - do you want replies to the role PMs as confirmation? You didn't mention anything about replying in the PM.

[DieHard]

Well, it should be obvious by now, but yeah I forgot to add that. Send us a PM for confirmation.

[DieHard]

And by saying that, if you do not respond to your PMs by Tuesday, you are not playing and we will replace you.

[gordanthefree]

I've never played a game like this before, how do we place our votes?

[DieHard]

All the players state in the thread who they are voting for and a reason why they are. All the votes will be collected and the person with the most votes, the mob kills. When you vote for someone, make sure to bold their name. For example "DieHard - I pick him because I suspect blah blah blah".

Edit - This is only for the mob voting, the other voting (Robots and Army) will be PM's.

[Jimith Jamith]

wait so can i join?

[DieHard]

Not unless someone backs out or doesn't respond to their PM by Tuesday

[Jimith Jamith]

ok, ill be on tuesday, so PM me if anyone doen't join :)

USER WAS PUT IN TIMEOUT FOR THIS POST. (http://forums.explosm.net/bankamp/)
Reason: This is like, the third or forth time I've banned you for shitty posts. Get your shit together.

[Pieman]

Not unless someone backs out or doesn't respond to their PM by Tuesday

Your PM box is full so I'll confirm here. I know my job and all that shit.

[DieHard]

Alright, sorry it got filled quick. I emptied it, so PM away

[Triple J]

So then during the game do we post our vote like "I vote for so and so?"
Or do we PM our votes?

Wasn't Die Hard specific enough?

[MrDoctor]

Ok i got my pm i can't wait for this to start

[Mirrorman]

29. Mirror-man :fmita:


Haha, oh you .:fmita:

[Triple J]

All right, sorry had a little brain flatulence. I got it now.

[gordanthefree]

STILL no thread :(

[DieHard]

Gordan, Far has to accept our thread first. But we haven't even made it yet, we still are working on stuff.

[gordanthefree]

Ok, ok, I can wait.

[MrDoctor]

Ok, ok, I can wait.

You don't act like you can

[Dresden]

I hope gordon is a robot, so we can kill him off right away.

[BKS]

This oughta be an interesting game alright.

[gordanthefree]

:C, so sad to Gordan

[Dauntasa]

I hope gordon is a robot, so we can kill him off right away.

I say we kill him even if he's not. He's either an enemy or a liability, so there's no point in keeping him around.

[gordanthefree]

Why are you sooooooo sad to me?

[ryuuzaki]

Because you're acting foolishly.

[Crabstick]

I'm a werewolf.

[ryuuzaki]

Suuuure you are...

[Dauntasa]

Why are you sooooooo sad to me?

What the fuck does that even mean? Are you some kind of retard? SPEAK ENGLISH MOTHERFUCKER!

[Benjaman]

The intro has been written, but I wanted Die Hard to see it first. Once the thread's been accepted, the game will commence. We also need a few more people to reply to Die Hard's PMs, I think.

[DieHard]

I'm currently waiting on two people, Dauntasa and Mantaur. Until they send their ok, we'll have to wait until tomorrow and replace them.

[Dauntasa]

I already sent mine.

[DieHard]

Alright, then that leaves one person. If he doesn't reply by tomorrow we have to replace him.

[pranshee]

Replace him with me if you want to

[Benjaman]

Replace him with me if you want to

Sure. I'll talk to Die Hard about cut off times.

EDIT: Oh, he said Tuesday.

[pranshee]

So, do I get the part?

[Benjaman]

So, do I get the part?

If Mantaur doesn't respond by tomorrow, then yes.

[ryuuzaki]

Wait isn't there an order for repacements like whoever asks for an opening spot first gets it?

If so then wouldn't holocaustits get the spot?

[Benjaman]

Yeah, but depending on who answers the PM replacement first, or whatever happens.

[pranshee]

So is it going to be a race then?

[Inseln]

It's just an enforcment of the 'First come, first served' rule. Don't ask if it's you, DieHard or Ben will pm you and you'll find out then. If you bug them, there's less of a chance of this happening.

[ryuuzaki]

I think we shoud replace Mantaur because I just got a PM from Mantaur asking me what he is supposed to do which is annoying since the beggining of this thread explains it.

[Dresden]

sounds good. we dont need TWO morons that we want to kill off before the game even starts.

[ryuuzaki]

I'm guessing you're referring to Gordan and Mantaur.

[Con-Con]

I would assume so.

[DieHard]

Alright, he isn't sending me a PM. We need a replacement as soon as possible, first one to PM me gets it.

Edit - Found a guy, badumpbumpbump is now replacing Mantaur. Once I get Ben's ok we'll make a thread.

[Con-Con]

So can we be expect the thread to be submitted by tomorrow?

[DieHard]

Yes, I really am sorry for delays.

[Dauntasa]

Yes, I really am sorry for delays.

This too seems familiar.

[blltmssgy]

Yeah, but they aren't registered assholes.

[DieHard]

This too seems familiar.

This won't happen when the threads up and running, stop saying that.

[pranshee]

YEAH, be patient guys, if you want out, then OUT I'll get in.

[Robo_Sexual]

Just asking: We will recieve a second PM when the actual thread begins, won't we?

[Tweek]

Alright, he isn't sending me a PM. We need a replacement as soon as possible, first one to PM me gets it.

Edit - Found a guy, badumpbumpbump is now replacing Mantaur. Once I get Ben's ok we'll make a thread.
Aw, dude :frown:

[Crabstick]

Just asking: We will recieve a second PM when the actual thread begins, won't we?

Oh come off it, you're on the forums every 3 hours anyway.

[Exodus]

Just to let everyone know, this is Dr. acula. I got a name change.

[DieHard]

Just asking: We will recieve a second PM when the actual thread begins, won't we?

Hmm, I guess I could send out a PM announcing it

[Far]

Enjoy.

[Benjaman]

Enjoy.

Thanks Fary :shobon:
