One Man's Spy... The End

One Man's Spy...

Welcome to the Dome of Deception.

Each of you has been placed into one of three teams:

~~Team Alpha~~ - Destroyed
~~Moggy~~ - Team Charlie Spy - KIA
~~Jenuall~~ - KIA
~~Tomous~~ - KIA
~~RetroCora~~ - KIA
~~Mommy~~ - KIA

Team Bravo - Victorious
Preezy
Herdanos
~~DarkRula~~ - KIA
~~Qikz~~ - Team Alpha Spy - KIA
Roonmastor

Team Charlie - Destroyed
~~aayl1~~ - KIA
~~Parksey~~ - Team Bravo Spy - KIA
~~Drumstick~~ - KIA
~~Rocsteady~~ - KIA
~~Pedz~~ - KIA

But, in a daring twist, each team has successfully infiltrated one of the other teams with a spy!

Each team will soon learn who their own loyal spy is.

It is imperative that you do everything possible to prevent your spy from being discovered by the other teams. Not only will you suffer a loss of intel if your spy is killed, the infiltrated team will gain a 50% operational bonus that will last for the rest of the game!

Core objectives

Protect your spy
Uncover and kill the spy who has infiltrated your team
Kill every other player not on your team
Obtain the treasure in the middle of the arena

How the game is played

Each turn will see the following actions:

(1) In-thread, a democratic vote will elect a Blower. The Blower will be responsible for blowing the Ob Bob Horn. Blowing the Ob Bob Horn will cover the Blower in a magical protective substance, giving the Blower immunity from attacks on that turn.

(2) Meanwhile, each team must secretly decide on their two actions for the turn. The action options are:

A Leader for the turn must PM me privately (i.e. without copying in their team members) to confirm the two actions. I will reply to them (also privately) to confirm the outcome of their actions. I will accept confirmed actions from any player on the team, however each player can only be Leader once. When every surviving team member has been Leader, this allowance resets.

(3) (Optional) At any time, if at least half of the remaining players from any team vote to execute a member of their team, they may do so by PMing me together. This will not cost the team an action. If at any point there are only two players remaining in a team and one of them is the Spy, the last loyal member will automatically be executed, the team will lose, and the Spy will rejoin their true team.

Assuming (1) has been completed, the turn ends after each team has completed (2).

Each team has a map of the arena:

Team Alpha starts at A1
Team Bravo starts at B1
Team Charlie starts at C1

How to gain the upper hand

Obtain the powerup found on each tile of the map by ending your turn on that tile. There is only one quantity of each powerup.
The powerups increase in power as you progress along the tiles. The powerup on the fourth tile will benefit every team.
The ultimate powerup starts at tile X. Once per turn, it will be moved closer to the team to which the Blower swears allegiance. Obtaining this powerup will give you a huge advantage.
PMs are open. Perhaps you can persuade the other teams to target each other…

Rules

1. PMs from me may be described but never quoted, copy/pasted or screenshotted. You may fabricate or adjust the content of my PMs when describing them to anyone else, but you mustn’t produce a fake image purporting to be a PM from me.
2. You cannot fire a missile onto your own tiles.
3. Teams may choose to carry out the same action twice per turn.
4. Spies are not based with their true teams, therefore they cannot carry out actions as a Leader for their true team. However, they may carry out actions as a Leader for the team they have infiltrated.
5. A Blower must be elected in-thread each turn. You cannot vote for a Blower from your own team.

General information

1. If a Spy remains alive when their true team has been destroyed, the Spy will flee to the tile their true team last inhabited.
2. At the beginning of the game, with 15 active players, the number of votes required to elect a Blower is 5. This number will be reduced by one for every third death.
3. Anyone can be elected as the Blower, even if they were the Blower in the previous turn.
4. Each team gains one missile at the end of every turn, and one forcefield at the end of every second turn.
5. To fire a missile, you must target a tile and a player. If the team the player is on is on the tile you specified, that player will be hit.
6. Everyone starts with 1HP. The only way to gain HP is to equip a forcefield. Forcefields cannot be stacked, but they can be replaced.

The game has not yet begun in earnest.

Please wait to receive a PM from me before attempting carry out any turn actions. I will try to send the PM this evening.

Everyone will receive a group PM from me. Spies will also receive an individual PM.

Now is the time to ask questions about the gameplay and the rules. You may also bond with your fellow team members (in the knowledge that one of them is a dirty Spy) and give opposing team members grief for being scumbags.

Okay, this sounds fun. Too bad Alpha and Charlie teams look rubbish compared to the might Bravo!

Does getting the Blower make you immune to in-team attacks?

I refuse to believe there are any traitors in a team as sexy as the Alpha team. :datass:

Also, does the spy infiltrating your team know who your spy is?

Btw I'm going to do my usual thing and not bother reading the rules and muddle through the game just winging it. :datass:

Roonmastor wrote:Also, does the spy infiltrating your team know who your spy is?

Yes.

I've thought about this quite a lot, and although that instinctively sounds crazy, it is absolutely not in the interest of the spy infiltrating your team to reveal the identity of your spy. In fact, the very opposite is true.

Roonmastor wrote:Does getting the Blower make you immune to in-team attacks?

Yes. The Blower for the turn is immune to attacks of any kind.

As long as you understand point 2 of 'how the game is played' the rest will take care of itself :datass:

All I know is I have to blow you. Do I need to know more?

I knew you would instinctively understand point 1 :datass:

Well, I should have known. I guess all the teams will be having an orgy directed by the glorious leader Ob Bob come the end of the game.

If they survive.

You only get one spy, so make it count

You might never get this moment agaaaain

All PMs have now been sent.

Spies have received an individual PM and TWO group PMs.

Everyone else has received one group PM.

The vote for the first Blower may begin immediately.

Please reach a consensus in the thread for a Blower. You may not vote for a Blower from your own team.

As soon as someone has five votes, they will be elected as Blower.

You may also begin discussing with your fellow team members to decide on the two actions your team will take for this first turn.

One person from each team must PM me in private to confirm the two team actions.

You don't need to keep copying me into PMs, as much as I am genuinely finding them entertaining :lol:

.

Also, to answer a question: yes, other forms of communication are allowed (e.g WhatsApp, Discord, etc) but please ensure inclusivity, so whatever works best for everyone in your team.

Furthermore... someone needs to make a pitch (in-thread) to be the first elected Blower!
