The Gathering
One morning, Zombo had received a phone call from an anonymous caller. A self-proclaimed philanthropist, he had chanced upon UPSB and read about how difficult it was to hold a universal gathering. According to him, it was unfair for mere physical separation to restrict the potential of a well-intentioned hobby. He proceeded to outline a plan for a universal gathering.
The caller had offered his own private island and mansion as a venue for the gathering. Spinners would fly into Montreal and lodge in a hotel overnight. SpinZ members were also invited to cover the event. Then a private jet would be chartered by the anonymous man to fly everyone to his island. Since there were not enough bedrooms in the mansion to accommodate everybody, the gathering was supposed to last for half a day at most. The spinners would be flown back to Montreal on the same day, where they would travel their separate ways. The man would cover the costs of everything, only asking that he remain anonymous in return.
The logistics were ironed out months ago, and everything was happening as planned. The gathering had been a very enjoyable event, with demonstrations given by various spinners, as well as several mini-tournaments. The spinners had stepped out of the mansion, prepared to leave when suddenly the waiting jet on the runway exploded into flames. Mute with shock, the spinners were at a loss for words. They were now stranded, but the greater danger was far more immediate …

I'll allow for a bit more time for people to finalize their movements:
Movement phase deadline
Tuesday, May 20, 3:00 am GMT
Monday, May 19, 10:00 pm Eastern
Monday, May 19, 7:00 pm Pacific
If you don't submit a movement before this time, you automatically stay at the beach. -

Ok, it seems like people have settled on their locations.
The movement phase is now over. PM me your actions AFTER I send you a description of your location. This thread will only ever be closed when the entire game is finished. You are encouraged to use this thread for discussion in the meantime.

Movement Phase 2 has now begun.
I've decided to overlap the two phases a bit since the game is stalling. Some people still have follow-up actions but for the majority the action phase is complete. Move again. And without more discussion you (you know who you are) probably won't win. -

Alright, only 3 people are pending on follow-up actions now.
Note: This time I was lenient and allowed for follow-up actions at the merchant's store if you had money remaining. But to speed up the game, future actions at the merchant's store are limited to a single PM. That is, you must list all your transactions all at once and it constitutes your action. -

At the merchant's shop I found that you can go to the beach to find jewels to sell to the merchant for more money.
What have you guys found at your seperate locations? -
Date: Thu, May 22 2008 00:03:54
The lock pick only has a 25% chance of unlocking a locked door, if it is not successful it breaks and you can't use it anymore, but if it works you get to keep it. You can attempt to unlock a locked door X amount of times until you run out of lock picks, or you can keep attempting to unlock the door until you run out or you are successful.
Food rations heal 3.5, count as a full action.

Not in the exact same way, no. But it is possible they may come about similar information/items/etc. in a different way. -

so, at some point (after every room is explored), only way to get some 'useful' items is to kill someone, but then again you might have no use of that item because it was already used for something that can't be done again :/

Movement Phase 4 has now begun.
* Huroni and PenCell did not send me actions so you guys did nothing in the context of the game.
* Eriror has been asked to be replaced. Unfortunately, there are no replacements, so I will be forced to pull him out of the game. He had no items, so it should not affect the game much. As for his identity, he was a Spinner.

A few things I need to mention.
* When I said earlier that you won't get PM'd descriptions of rooms you've already visited, it meant only if there were no visible changes (this should have been implied, hopefully). If some aspect has changed, you'll be notified of the change(s) only.
* You can only carry an item in one of your hands. The only exception to this is if the items are part of a set or are logically connected to each other, such as a weapon and spare ammunition for it.
* If you've forgotten how full your backpack is, what items you have, or how much money you have, you can send me a PM at any time and I'll refresh your memory, although you should be keeping track of these things yourself.
* Assume that it begins getting dark at 9:00 pm and that nighttime begins at 10:00 pm. Also, assume that the lights automatically turn on at 10:00 pm for simplicity's sake (but there are still light switches in every room). There is no "energy" in the game in the sense that you don't need to ever rest.
* If a replacement cannot be found for Huronix within a few days or so, I will regrettably have to withdraw him from the game. In such a case, any items of interest in his possession will be made available at the Merchant's Store.
Thanks, and enjoy! -

Also, this game was only supposed to be a test to see how things go. If you're interested in a particular part of the game, such as which room contained what, tell me and I'll post it here.

seriously, the amoutn of discussion was so low. I'm beginning to wonder if discussion type games are even possible on UPSB.
I mean, for example, Rorix just basically posted the existence of the PC and nobody even questionned him... spinners shouldn't know about the PC to begin with. He even insisted and nobody cared. -

no, he really was stuck in sand.
had he not been saved, he would have been dead. -
Date: Tue, Jun 17 2008 02:57:42
If you were at the beach, a random die was used each action phase to determine whether you got caught in quicksand (1/6 chance) or bit by a scorpion (1/8 chance). Retro somehow managed to trigger both these events (about a 2% chance).
Also, very few people made use of the library. It was lenient in that you could choose from all sorts of books and in some cases select books I had not previously considered.
* If you had read up on lock picking, I would've raised your lock picking chances up to maybe 75%.
* If you had read a mercantile book, you would've been able to haggle prices at the store. If you tried to seek discounts without this knowledge, I had to deny it.
* Some people were creative in that they read up on anatomy, and I rewarded this with a 75% kill rate with a knife (if target was not observing or defending).
* You could've also read up on chemistry, in which case all herbs/plants/potions and their effects would be identified when you picked them up.
* There were other possibilities, such as firearms, sneaking, etc.
Note that I said you can't do anything to the merchant or steal from him, but this did not preclude conversing with him, for example. -

Pen Spinners can spin any kind of pens: regular pens, SpinZ, pencils
PC members can only spin pencils and will fail at spinning regular pens and SpinZ
SpinZ members can only spin SpinZ and will fail at the other two.
It is a quick way to determine who is what.
Bats will bite 100% for 1 damage.
I still can't believe nobody accused Ralys of murder. -

well. i actually thought it was him but i only posted my thought in quicktopic invisibleman created.
QUOTEso..sleeve died. and i think theres a vampire because there was a 'ligature marks on neck' when he died. Ralys was in the cave with him..so i'm guessing it was him. but someone else helped?
i swear i was going to ask if i can buy an onion at a merchant's store so i can after i bought my knife. but..the game ended. -
Date: Tue, Jun 17 2008 13:50:34QUOTEswear i was going to ask if i can buy an onion at a merchant's store so i can after i bought my knife
you mean garlic?
but yeah, i was not a vampire.
there is dark in the cave, so because of this:
Ralys – Ninja
*Strangulation (Active) – Silently choke players to death who are not observing or defending by using a garrote-like item (e.g. wire, rope, etc.). Strangle fails if defended against or if target is observing. Counts as a full action. The garrote, after a successful strangle, is unrecoverable.
*Discretion (Passive): Able to sense presences in the dark and remain completely concealed when choosing to hide in the dark.
it was perfect way to kill him.

Date: Tue, Jun 17 2008 15:20:03
Retro accused him of being a murderer. I can't believe I tried to rescue Retro. He would have pushed me in to the sand after =P
I think the problem is that there's so much to do and only one action at a time which is annoying. You have a room with like 5 stuff to look for and you can only check one at a time, which leads to 5 turns spent in the room in order to make the most out of it. 5 turns?! that's fucking ages! -
Date: Tue, Jun 17 2008 15:36:32
thats why you gotta pick the most important action, team up with other players to discover more things at once, talk with other players to share what you discovered etc
this is still a team game, you will never find everything in the game alone.
there was so many ways you could have generated discussion in the beginnign:
for example:
each person give their opinion on the use of each item.
each person give their opinion on what each room contains. -
Date: Tue, Jun 17 2008 16:58:04
Actions need to be normalized which is why you can't search a whole room. Searching a room in detail would take what..5-10 min? In the same amount of time, one could argue that you could stab everyone in the kitchen, cook a meal in the microwave while searching the bodies, then get into the oven (food elevator). I think minche was the best at searching for things. She found something interesting on every turn, so it's not impossible if you make smart decisions.

Date: Fri, Jun 20 2008 02:16:44
the next game will be smaller, like 6 players, to give an atmosphere similar to Clue.
it will also be invite only, so that we get to pick players we know are active and can play the game the right way. the only way for non-invited players to join is through the replacement list.
this would be the only way to make sure the game flows. -

Probably sometime in July, when I have time to work on it. I have some rough idea in my mind. The format could be 5 innocents + 1 killer. The killer wins if there is an unsuccessful lynch or a certain amount of time passes; the innocent side wins by lynching the killer. Another alternative is simply like Clue, where the first person to solve the crime wins. Either way, I may have to think about eliminating PMs altogether to keep such a game flowing. If you were active enough in The Gathering, you'll be invited to join.
