Yep, it's basically having a search/replace rule on the scum pages - that's one of the reasons it was in its own subforum.

Having an alternate login becomes a major pain in the arse if you want to post on the forum while playing.

Having not been part of the Saw themed game, how hard is it to run a game where noone knows who anyone else is?


I understand it was a lot of work for both Grim... and The Gaywood , and they both know the forum and its inner workings very well , the only 'easy' solution I could see would be to give everyone a new login that they only used for the game - although i'm sure Malc would still sign his posts so you could probably spot him :-)


I really struggled with that game!

My ideal would be a situation where no-one knows who anyone else is and what their win condition is. Maybe an amnesia situation? I thought something like a Sleeper Ship being invaded by pod people whilst falling towards a sun or something similar. I could set a certain number of days before everyone's killed and all of the goodies have to hit their primary win to save the ship

Example, there would be a couple with two halves of a thingy necessary to the operation of the ship, but neither knows who the other half is, so they have to give clues, but very subtly.

Sound good? Workable? Too complex?

I like the idea of giving clues, but the problem with having a group is there are more likely to puick up on them, so if you had (using your example) A needs to find B, but C needs to stop that happening, where ABC are single people, it may work better. I say give it a try, if it doesn't work, it doesn't work.

So, next game then? I'll find out how busy im likely to be at work for the next couple of weeks and i'm happy to run my UNscum game (although I may have to change one of the leaders!) if people want that, but there was a Red Dwarf game in the offing and supposedly an easter game that never materialised?

Aye, the recent super scum game had a minimum of 24 hours per day, and that worked quite well, if I do say so myself :D

So Curio, you running next month's then? ;)
Author:  Curiosity [ Tue May 24, 2011 13:35 ]
Post subject:  Re: Upcoming Games
I am indeed intending to run one next month, along these lines:

BLIND SCUM

No public role descriptions. No amount of roles given. Nothing to go on... can the Town eliminate the evil within their midst?

No roles are initially publicised, though there are no primary roles that have not been used before, so we're working within at least some degree of confines.

Anyone who dies has their role description shown.

The majority of characters will have a secondary win condition, which could be benign ("Mention watermelons every day"), dangerous ("Accuse the fourth person on the playerlist of being a spy no matter what, even if that person is you") or specific ("Ensure the death of Player X").

Role playing is encouraged, and for some characters, essential.

Absolutely no questions may be asked of the GM within the game thread, nor must you mention that one exists. Want a rule clarification? Ask me via PM. Want to argue a point of rule? Do it in character. Don't go mentioning any PMs you've received.

There will be consequences for those who play fast and loose with the 4th wall.


...I think that's enough for you all to know. Any more info will be given once the game begins. This is going to be super fun, I promise.

These two might be worth being general rules in future? Depending on how this game goes :D

I always try and role play as much as I can. Obviously, as the game wears on, it's harder to stay in character, but not impossible. See: Bobbyarro and Russ in the game I ran.

I roleplayed in the star wars game, look where that got me... Oh yeah! I won on the second day and played everyone for the fools they are, didn't I? :D

It is hard to keep it up all the time, especially if the majority aren't, as it increasingly difficult to refer to 4th wall game mechanics in character.

Be forewarned, next game I am planning to talk A LOT, this doesn't mean i'm either good or bad, it just means i'm talking a lot, so please don't kill me for it everyone ;)

Nearly everyone ;)

A blind game will be much easier to role-play, as there isn't really any discussion of specific roles or numbers. The KillerScum game was blind, and that was played really well by almost everybody.
I found giving everyone a "role" to play (such as "gardener" or "musician") makes people roleplay more (although I fucked that up in CylonScum by not giving the bad guys a role). Telling them to do it doesn't work, at all.

Good point. As otherwise you are asking people to come up with their own, which may not work in the setting, and most people can't be arsed. Or they try and roleplay their scum role, which is a career limiting move if you start talking in an Italian accent... :D

I'm off on me hols first week of july, but I should be pretty free after that for a few weeks if people want me to run a game mid july? Just a bog standard normal game, but i'll throw in some roleplaying to make it fun :)

If anyone else has a game prepared that they want to run instead, then feel free, otherwise I'll do a signup thread just before I pop off to Greece for a week...

Obviously we'll leave a bit of a gap before the next game, but when do we reckon there'll be another one? I want to cram in as many games as possible before I leave my current place of work one week into October.

Am equally happy running them as I am participating.

Cool. Craster can do a vanilla one this month, and then I can think up something suitably ridiculous for September. Then anyone else can do 'em from then on, as I probably won't have time in the new job (at least until I work out what I can get away with!).

I would very much like to run a game in September, the theme of which was divulged to some BeexBeeQue attendees over the weekend.
