Szeth_Pancakes he/him Posted December 10, 2022 Report Share Posted December 10, 2022 (edited) Important note: This ruleset was written before Cytonic and the novellas. Think of this game as an alternate continuity of sorts. The UrDail, in collaboration with the DDF and using M-Bot’s hologram technology, have sent a team of Spies to Starsight, this time to root out and assassinate the members of Winzik’s Inner Circle, who are responsible for the corruption within the Superiority Department of Protective Services. Can the Spies complete their mission, or will it end in disaster? -- Welcome to QF64: Spies in Starsight! I, Szeth_Pancakes / @Ookla the Omniscient, will be your GM. I'm new at this, so if anyone wants to co-GM the help would be greatly appreciated. Your IM is @Araris Valerian. Another important note: Since Ookla season ends in the middle of this game, please provide your non-Ookla name in the signups to protect my sanity. Thank you The game will start on Saturday, December 17 at 9:00 PM PST (12:00 AM EST). Rollovers should hopefully be short due to the light game rules, but we'll see :shrug: Rules Spoiler Basics Each Day and Night are combined into one 24-hour-long Cycle. Every Cycle, there is an execution, which is decided by a vote. The minimum number of votes somebody can be exed by is 1. Every Cycle, one of the Spies can submit an action to assassinate one player. If you don't post for two cycles in a row, you will be removed from the game and, if one is available, replaced by a pinch hitter. If none are available, you die. PMs are not open. Alignments SDPS Member: You win if all of the Spies are eliminated. Spy: You win if Winzik and all members of the Inner Circle are eliminated. You have a doc in which to conspire. Roles Winzik: You have great influence among the SDPS, so in addition to your normal vote in the thread, you can also make use of a second vote in your GM PM. Inner Circle Member: You are Winzik’s most ardent followers. You and Winzik share a doc in which to conspire, but the Spies have infiltrated it, so you must use codenames to protect your identity. Other rules Winzik and the Inner Circle have edit access to the Inner Circle Doc. All Spies are able to view said doc. Winzik and the Inner Circle must use codenames in the doc, given to them in their GM PMs at the start of the game, to protect their identities.

Kasimir he/him Posted December 10, 2022 Report Share Posted December 10, 2022 How do you plan to swing the edit v. view access issue - player integrity? Feels somewhat revealing if players have to give you their Gmails, as this would immediately give a pool for who the spies and inner circle/winzik could be by checking the permission settings.

Specifically the issue is you can't edit a Google Doc in incognito mode on mobile, so you might be stuck doing it all on desktop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can sign in to do it, right? I believe you'd still appear as an anonymous animal to others on the doc. I'm just worried that you don't appear anonymous in edit history or permissions history. But I also really don't see how you can selectively allow edit access to some and view access to others without requiring emails, so it feels like something that will need to rely on player integrity. 7 minutes ago, Ookla the Paragrapher said: Ping me if you don't get the player count you need, but for now I think I'll pass.

Mat he/him Posted December 10, 2022 Report Share Posted December 10, 2022 I suppose I’ll say that if you need more players then I’ll play, but otherwise stay a PHer. I want to take a break soonish like Shining is, but I’m definitely playing the AG so this QF is a weird in-between spot :P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does depend on player integrity, but it would be fairly hard for an elim to edit the doc and get away with it. 1 hour ago, Ookla the Paragrapher said: Specifically the issue is you can't edit a Google Doc in incognito mode on mobile, so you might be stuck doing it all on desktop. You can! Commenting doesn't work anonymously but that's it. 1 hour ago, Kasimir said: I'm just worried that you don't appear anonymous in edit history or permissions history.

For me, both tend to work, but commenting is sometimes with my account, sometimes not. Editing as far as I know has only not worked once, and that was for unknown but most likely different reasons.

Yeah, I don't really care about that. The point of my question was just to know if you'll be requiring email access.
