the trad games jinho


Welcome to the Groups of Death. This is a mafialike game for 32 people. The similarities are that you are able to lynch a player card from one of the 32 teams (not a player) each day, and that you have a night phase as well where you are able to attack a player card that somebody else has. The differences are that this is basically a free for all bloodbath that has no mafia or town, just people that may or may not work together to try and get to the end. Trust people at your own risk. This is for 32 players and isn't a huge timesink, so if you're in another game you can still join without it being an issue, as long as you're active.

THE 5 PLAYERS/PLAYER CARDS FOR EACH TEAM ARE LOCATED IN THE GOOGLE DOCUMENTS IN THE POST BELOW THIS.

Rules/The Cards - 2 Hearts
  • Before the game starts, you will private message me your 5 assigned player cards and what powers will go to each one. You MUST keep this private. Every night you will attack one of their 5 cards (example: I will attack Brazil: Pele) for 1 heart. Each card has 2 hearts unless they have a special power (see below).

    THE 5 CARDS

    1. One player card of your choosing can take 0 damage for one night, after that - it has no powers.
    2. One player card that has no powers.
    3. One player card that will have 3 hearts.
    4. One player card that cannot be lynched for one day, after that - that card is able to be lynched (can be killed at night).
    5. One player card that when it dies, it replenishes the hearts of every other card currently alive if they are missing any.

    (Note: If you kill the card that replenishes hearts on the same night another card dies, it will still be replenished no matter if it happened before or after).


  • Cards that have died will be posted when the thread is unlocked during the next day.

  • You may ally yourself with any other team, however you will not know who attacked you.

  • During the day, when you are voting for a card, you can only vote for the teams that are in the GROUP OF DEATH for that day - anybody that is in the GROUP OF DEATH during the day CANNOT be targeted for that night. This is a 1 time thing for all 8 groups.

  • The card to get voted out will need half of the votes to get eliminated - so if there is 32 teams, you need 16 votes. If there is 20, you need 10.. etc. If by 24 hours there is no result, it will go by whoever has the most votes.

  • Each day will last 24 hours, and when somebody is lynched the thread will be closed, so turbolynching isn't encouraged when you have a while. If I'm not around, you may still talk until I return to close the thread.

  • Night will last about 10 hours give or take. It shouldn't take long to send one thing via PM.. which brings me to..

  • If you do not have time for this, PLEASE DO NOT SIGN UP. If you will be active, PLEASE SIGN UP. Replacing people is one of the most unfun things to do. NEWBIES ARE WELCOME.

  • You will be informed when your "bulletproof for 1 night" card has been attacked and that the next night you are able to be injured.

  • You will not be informed what happens when you attack somebody else.


THE GROUP OF DEATH

In the World Cup, the teams with the toughest opponents are usually called the Group of Death. In this game, the group of death will be randomized and pre-determined at the beginning of each day.

If you are in the group of death, only players from your group can be voted out during the day. So say if you were a group (randomized) of France, England, Ghana and Greece .. only you guys can be voted out during day. Another group of 4 will only be able to be voted out the next day, so on, so forth.

However, it is also a blessing because if you are in the GROUP OF DEATH you will not be able to be targeted that night - so pick your targets carefully. If you target one of the 4 that are unable to be targeted, your attack will not count.

After the 8 groups have gone through their GROUP OF DEATH stages, it will end and EVERYBODY will be able to be voted for.

Important Stuff

Here is a link to the google document, which will be very important - this contains all team and player information.

On the document is where you will see the 5 players (it would be too long to put in the thread) selected for each team on the main page, and then I made custom pages for everybody (that I spent entirely too long on).

Team picks are first come first serve. Once you pick your team, send me the 5 powers that you want to assign your 5 players via PRIVATE MESSAGE.

Remember: When you are voting during the day, and attacking during the night, you must state both the team and the one player on that team you are lynching or attacking.

If you have any questions let me know.

Yes, just make sure you read it before it starts. A lot of :words: but it's probably way simpler than regular mafia

Opop, just tell your country not to be poo poo at football in 4 years and then when there's another game you can be them!

Also anybody hesitant about signing up / not knowing poo poo about it don't worry it's just the theme of the game, requires no knowledge
