Gnomefia: A Supreme Lack of Hope



Gnomes are stupid. Like, incredibly stupid. They always have been, and they arguably always will be. If evolution could actually reverse course, gnomes would be capable of it. They are the opposite of natural selection. They are the most foolish, simpleton creatures in Ringworld. And unfortunately, they are still subservient enough to form a society, somehow.

Recently, a group of gnome exiles have settled a new village in the middle of the Southern Forest, filled with all types of terrible creatures. A settlement of outcasts and their families have come together to huddle and survive the elements and the land, with nothing but agriculture and a little bit of protection to save them.

But, horrifically, a group of shapeshifting lizard wizards have been hired by the King of the Gnomes, Joqueitch, to infiltrate this village and betray its members to horrible, hilarious deaths to be used as a message against those who would try and plow their own fields and live outside of his jurisdiction.

This is… Gnomefia! Together, someof you will come together to create a village together, hopefully before getting horribly annihilated by your comrades. You are a ragtag group of gnomes with several diverse backgrounds, but you are still just really gorram dumb. Like, honestly the cards would be kind of stacked against you even without the constant threats that lie in the forest. Expect any number of animal, vegetable or mineral to trip you up on your journey towards, or really any number of possible directions, against, totally to the side of, straight down???, self-sustainability.

This is a game of mafia for 15 players.

Rules
  • Don’t make attacks actually personal. If people start to get really ruffled, honestly, by a player, there will be a warning and possibly a modkill. Insults are going to happen, but there’s a line before approaching the Pettiness & Vilification Station.
  • Days will be 48 hours, possibly stretched to 72 hours. We’ll see.
  • Voting will be majority, anything less will result in a no-lynch.
  • Thread will be closed at night, no twilight, probably. Gnomes are terrified of any kind of darkness.
  • No quoting your role PMs, paraphrasing (you know, claiming) is fine
  • No real posting after death. (dumb ghost text allowed, but no content)
  • Basic mafia rules, no editing your posts, no posting after hammer, no fake day actions, no OOT communication unless it’s specified in your role.
  • please please please post, not posting is pretty much the only things other than mod inactivity that really makes games actually truly bad. Well, that and rule #1.

I'm proud of you, Bender. Sure, you lost. You lost bad. But the important thing is I beat up someone who hurt my feelings in high school.
I have a personal rule (that I just made up) that says I have to play in every gnome themed game that is made.

I will try not to screw it up, but considering the theme, I'm going to go ahead and say it is a very, very low bar.

Put me down for a replacement! I really want to play this, but I'm running one, in two, and I've already put down my registration for a third. If I die soon in one of the games or if the third doesn't come to fruition, I'd like to upgrade to player status.

Intelligent and bright, they explored a world that was new and strange to them. They liked it, they thought - a whole world just for them! They were dimly aware that a God had created them, was watching them; they called out to him, thanking him in a chittering language, before running off.
I will play in this sure to be monstrosity (I couldn't think of a good gnome pun. I'm very ashamed of myself. But then, if I had thought of a pun, I would just have been ashamed of that. It was a gnome win situation.)

Haha yup :)

Full story is that last winter I decided to go into iPhone repair as a side business, and so I asked my boyfriend (an artist/cartoonist) to draw a logo for it. My original idea for a business name was "Shelly Applescreens" (before realizing Apple would sue the poo poo out of me if I used that) and so asked him to draw a sort of me/Jonny Appleseed hybrid, but with smartphones. Later on, my best friend who walks/boards dogs as a side business, asked for a similar logo and so he did one for her too. Full pictures are here.

Epilogue: I realized that (a) I hate cellphone repair, (b) I like my regular job, and (c) my boyfriend is the one who should be going into business for himself.
