IT’S A CONSOLE WAR THE year is 1995, the Fifth Generation of the console wars is ramping up just as the fourth generation is ending. Fancy new machines are being shown off at trade shows with crackpot ideas such as Three D models, Rumble and more. CD-ROM drives are getting faster, Cartridges are getting bigger and full motion video is hitting its peak. Questions are being raised as to who would win in this all-out battle. More and more competitors are rising from unknown depths to challenge those that came before them. The bit wars are here, a full scale poo poo-fight of numbers. 16, 24, 32, 64. These numbers race across marketing departments and television screens across the world.  The number of players in the game will determine the amount of consoles on the field. This image is not a representation of the consoles to be used if the playerbase is less or more than expected. THERE are plans being cooked up, plans to gain marketshare. To some, it’s the task of winning hearts and minds but to others it is an entirely different business. The business of killing giants. There are consoles out there that look on with envy, confusion and disgust. They want to claim glory, they want the Pac-Man of pie charts – Absolute Global Saturation. How do these consoles do that? How does a new kid on the block destroy the new machines from Sega, Nintendo and Sony? How does a kid kill a giant? It takes raw processing power to devise a plan, a plan for survival, a plan for sales and a plan for winning. THE current consoles on the field are both veterans and newbies alike, assume consoles from both the 4th and 5th generation lay in this game.
• No talking about this game outside this thread. (unless you are scum talking amongst yourselves, or in a deaddoc) This includes coy hints in the chat thread! • Do not directly quote your role PM or any other mod PM. Discussing your role or results is fine, faking up official mod communications is not. • No deadposting unless it's the standard no-content stuff, like "go team" "you guys suck", etc. • No toxxing or truth or dare or literal encryption of posts, or anything else dodgy that goes against the spirit of just talking things out in the thread. • Day phases are 12 hours, from 10 AM - 10 PM Australian Eastern Time. • Lynches are by majority, playing to hammer. Do not purposely post after the hammer has fallen. • Don't panic, there are no loving millers of any type whatsoever. Here are some Video Game ads to get you in that special 90s mood:          This will be a role-lite game

GOOD NEWS, DUE TO CLIMATE CHANGE THIS GAME HAS BEEN UPGRADED FROM A CAT 1 ROLE-LITE GAME TO A CAT 2 ROLE-MEDIUM GAME  DARKNESS descends upon the console arena! The unknown combatants begin to circle, hungry for marketshare, hungry for recognition, hungry for the attention of the mainstream. While I, the handsome and highly successful narrator would LOVE to tell you; the reader which consoles are after your precious marketshare… My client wishes for that to remain a mystery. Likewise, I personally believe that disclosing this information may lead to unfair competitive advantage and let’s face it, I’m no Hiroshi Yamauchi. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_E2lh1lgmk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtLPrazftds YOU wonderful machines are about to fight to decide if there are champions from the old companies or champions from the new. To decide this, you sentient hardware shells must do battle, you must engage in Below is the current state of the market:  What happens this generation is unknown and widely speculation. At the moment CD-Roms and 3D Models seem to be taking off but who knows what will happen during these long 6 years. Now I personally have a shift until the late hours of the night today, past the deadline. You you guys could stop posting after the hammer, that'd be great. If there's any problems with votefinder, secret documents or you somehow STILL haven't gotten your role PM. Let me know via PM. DAY 1 START

In my head the voting rule would be to hammer, In this special circumstance however, in order to narrow down suspect lists and because I have received a message indicating the player with the majority of votes wishes for death anyway. I will also employ a majority without hammer lynch for tonight. As this is the first mafia game I've run, I'm sorry if any of the language used in the rules have caused confusion. Lynching prior to tonight was votefinder posting a  I wish for that to continue past this particular lynch. I'm sorry MCED had such a bad time and I hope he plays again in the future as I hope to run games in the future with a fun theme.I can't think of any particular flavour for this situation so I'll just save my creative juices for tomorrow and cut straight to the point.

THE GROUP OF CONSOLES APPROACH THE OLD ABANDONED COMMODORE FACTORY This is folly, the factory has been abandoned for YEARS, nothing operates here! The Door Opens  And that console was right, the factory was barren, at least on the ground floor... The group of consoles head upstairs  Inside a lone door on the top floor rests a recently refurbished office space. By Mario's Cape! A console exclaims On that table rested plans, plans to conquer Europe and return to North America  Commodore was in trouble, the Amiga CD32 was blocked from sale in America due to a patent shark getting a favourable court ruling in 1994. Therefore the console only ever came out in European Regions and Canada. The CD32 was smart though, He was building a plan that if he couldn't get back in America then he'd make sure there'd be no more consoles left in America. Paving way for the CD32's rightful return to America. These plans were about to be foiled... In Christmas 1994, the CD32 made up for 32% of all CD-Rom sales in the UK, in that short period of time, it was even outselling the Sega CD. With a twinkle in his eye and high ambitions, this console drafted a plan of conquest...  A lone Amiga CD 32 stumbles out of a back room bathroom How did you find this PLACE? How did you find MY OFFICE silence Gentlemen... The Amiga CD 32 pauses... Surely you will welcome me with open arms? The Playstation 1 begins to speak There is no room for second rate trash here, your company is so close to bankruptcy that it's a wonder why you still have an office. I've seen your kind before, thinking you can go from rags to riches by eliminating the competition. This is simply a fools way to victory. You're a killer, aren't you? Wind blows through a broken factory window  You know there no other way... in the face of behemoths. Napoleon before me tried to bring France glory through conquest of Europe... I don't NEED America, not yet. You have no business here, get out off my office. ENOUGH OF THIS MADNESS The Playstation 1 uses its Dualshock Controller as a Defibrillator and electrocutes CD32 TO DEATH  ... Only 100,000 sales... Enjoy 100,000 volts.

LOCATION: Alamogordo, New Mexico A sweaty Playstation 1 commands to console group.  KEEP DIGGING MEN, HE'S HERE. HE HAS TO BE! The consoles keep digging...  and digging...  and digging... UNTIL I-I think I found it sir! A exhausted Turbografx-16 exclaims ... ... The Playstation 1 looks down...  ... By Abe's gas! A subterranean TOMB Just as the map inherited by Playstation 1 laid out  Follow the alien, dig and behold; a tomb and city...made of gold.  The Playstation 1 enters with caution, his group of consoles follow his lead He reads his ancient scrolls Inside Atari's hidden Sphinx, past the tomb of the Lynx, through the 5200 steps which lay quiet wide, take a left and time must bide. Down and down you must go, find the dark and crystal throne, take the sword from the undead kings chest; prepare to fight, hope for the best. A picture accompanies his texts  Goddamned cultists The Playstation 1 whimpers to himself. 8 hours later  The Playstation 1 removes the Atari Sword from the long dead 2600 King  AND SUDDENLY A VORTEX  FZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZT A LONE ATARI JAGUAR EMERGES  I WAS HIDING IN THE THIRD DIMENSION! SONY PRETENDER YOU ARE NOT MEANT TO BE HERE IN MY FALLEN KINGDOM! FWWWAGH! THE SWORD BELONGS TO ME, I NEED ITS POWER....HISSssss... I AM KING YOU HEAR ME, KINGGGGGG Much like a jungle cat, the Jaguar lunges towards the Playstation and his comrades! NYAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!! The Playstation 1 dodges!  *Fwosh* You're outdated old man! The Playstation 1 launches a memory card which impales the Atari Jaguar in the neck!  *PEW* FWWWWWAAAAAHGGGGGGssssss.... The Atari Jaguar crumbles to DUST! ... End of an era INDEED Playstation 1 and his group of loyal consoles head to the exit... thatbastardken, the Atari Jaguar was erased from history! (Scum Godfather) NIGHT ACTIONS!

IT IS UNHOLY, UNHOLY FOR THIS WORLD  Yes, Playstation but my games will be suitable for the NEW World! The PC-FX, the failed successor of the PC-Engine/TurboGrafx-16 neglected 3D. the company NEC, called 3D models a gimmick and continued with 2D games. 3rd party developers did not follow and the entire library of PC-FX games was filled with bullet hell shooters and adult-anime games. With all his power, the PC-FX summons an assistant  The ship begins firing at the Playstation 1!  I knew you would do this... BUT YOU ARE MY TARGET TOO THE PLAYSTATION 1 EXPLODES, TAKING OUT THE WHOLE APARTMENT BLOCK  MEANWHILE  The last of my kind....I HATE BEING ALONE! A hooded figure turns the corner  THEN JOIN THEM!

I love this song. Asphyxious posted:I agree actually. Having my own separate mini investigation detached from the town/scum thing was huge amounts of fun. Yeah, it's like giving a cop a mission or something. I think you'd do better at it if you were to get it again. No promises though, maybe other Auspol Mafia mods have taken note of the utility of psychiatrist/babysitter and it'll appear slightly more often (the previous amount of times being zero)
