Some hosts seem to insist on putting recruiters in their games. Whenever I'm in a mafia game in which a member of my team was recruited, at the end of that game I feel like I've been cheesed. Actually every time it feels pretty shitty to have a member of your team recruited away from you and I...

I've been thinking about a game in which you can only communicate via certain phrases that are predetermined. This solves my main issue with NOC's - the walls of text - but I would like these set phrases to be inclusive enough to allow for meaningful discussion despite the limitations...

I'll be hosting a small mafia game in which the roles are inspired by your favorite Hearthstone cards!! The game will be simple and similar to basic mafia games hosted in the past (and would be an excellent first game for a beginner) but I believe it will also have some twists that veteran...

If you have feedback about this thread, feel free to PM a mod or post it in this thread. Welcome to Circus! In this subforum we play long-term, strategic forum games. One of the big problems with this subforum has been that it is difficult to figure out what we are doing simply by reading the...

Hello all, thanks for signing up, let's get this started. Sending out PMs now. Rules: Overview: This game will have 11 players and each player will be on his or her own team. Each player will control two ships, and will seek to destroy a certain number of enemy ships before both of his or her...

approved by myself lol Welcome to Space War 2, the sequel to Space War. People seemed to like that one, so I’ve created a bigger, better game to follow it. This game will have 11 players and will last for roughly 3 weeks. In the event that significantly more than 11 players express interest in...

Over the last few weeks, Walrein, zorbees, penguin344, and I have been working on a guide to Circus for newbies. It's one of the most glaring faults of our subforum that it's so difficult for new people to figure out what's going on, so hopefully a guide like this will help. I am posting it here...

We're going to be implementing changes to the categories we have in Circus pretty soon. Having the games have tiers has been an interesting experiment but it no longer makes sense for us. Recap: We currently have 5 tiers of games. They are Big, Standard, Expert, Beginner, and Other. The only...

The Conversation feature of Xenforo is great, but it can be extremely difficult to fake such a conversation. This is because it's more than just text - it's timestamped automatically by the forums as well. As such, in village vs mafia games where the formation of trust is the point of the game...

As someone who has hosted a lot of games, I've had a lot of games ruined by simple design choices I could and should have changed beforehand. I thought it might be useful to discuss some discovered "rules of thumb" which can help you figure out when something you're planning on doing is a...

Challenge 3: Space War In this challenge you will each be in charge of an intergalactic fleet, and seek to kill each other. Overview: You will be split up into 8 teams of 2. Each team will have two people and two ships, each ship starting out with 3 HP. These ships all have names and can be...

As with the last thread, the first post of this thread is to list those of you who made it and those of you who did not. The challenge was designed not only to narrow the pack of users in the game, but also to weed out the inactive FLAKES. These flakes who did not even send in their answers...

First, let's go over how everyone went with the sign-ups. Let's go over who will receive the bonus. The following users submitted their signup posts correctly and were the first to name another Smogon user who signed up: kingofkongs zorbees tas vonFiedler Walrein Ditto FireMage LightWolf RODAN...

approved by zorbees Read the whole post before signing up. Inspired by Bass's game within my game, and then inspired again by Bass's game outside of my game, this is my attempt at a similar style of game to his No Cowards series of games. The rules go something like this: Everyone who signs...

What’s this? There are cards… everywhere… why are there so many cards? Who would do such a thing? From underneath the cards three aptly named teams emerge. One calls themselves TEAM A. The largest team, TEAM A has plans to win this game through force of numbers. However, just as they begin to...

Approved by Crux Wait, you mean like vonFiedler's Card Game Mafia? Ehh, not really. Rules: The basic format of the game is 1 village vs 2 mafias. The village will be called TEAM A, and the two mafias will be called TEAM B and TEAM C. Each mafia team has a deck of cards. At the beginning of...

Approved by billymills Who could deny that the truth is often hidden from the general public? Big decisions get made behind locked doors, and who has the key? The Illuminati. The UK has been ruled by a number of sentient shape-shifting reptilian creatures posing as humans for hundreds of...

A week and a half ago, I was in a bookstore and I found this calendar that had pictures of penguins on it for every month. I carried it around with me, debating purchasing it. I knew I couldn't walk out of the bookstore with just the penguin calendar, because that's a bit weird, so I resolved to...
