[kyriakosmods]

Hello, and welcome to our first GAME DISCUSSION post!

Do you have a game that you want to run? Do you have an idea but no idea how to run it and want to make other people figure it out? Do you want to corun? Do you want to throw out ideas even if you don't have an Echo because you want to see an Echo run it?

Then this post is for you! Post your game ideas, no matter how fleshed out they may be (or if they're not at all and you only have a vague idea) and help each other work out games that you would like to see happen!

1. I'm running a (very low trauma, scrapes and scratches and bruises and discomfort but no maiming or death) problem-solving exploradora on January 25th, 7:30pm EST. I will probably need a co-runner. Who is up for it?

2. I'm thinking of running a twenty-four-hour bingo with my new Echo if she gets in. I have some general ideas, but what sort of bingo games would you guys like to see?

[wingtamer]

1. I'M WILLING TO CO-RUN o/ altho depending on the content i will have to borrow another echo

2. social bingos!! also weird activity bingos, maybe even scavenger hunts like GET AN AMALTHEA'S PIECE OF CLOTHING or sth? also bingo games that feature voluntary truth telling /'-'/ secrets bingooo.

Okay guys, I want to run a game based on Long Live The Queen with Princess! Except I need some help because the Princess could potentially die in certain ways due to assassination attempts or something else. I need an Echo (if anyone would like to help!) that would potentially just go "lol here have a bad end for this story" since Princess wouldn't do that. '^'!!

Princess Maker but with LONG LIVE THE QUEEN tones basically.

[chuggachuggasnoozesnooze]

did someone say videogames and bad ends

[pchaaair]

maybe

[roomforhope]

JO WOULD TOTALLY DO THE CHOCOLATES ONE or a dramatic duel :'|b

[pchaaair]

Maybe this game should just be an Echo pileup

[vaguelydied]

EVERY ECHO HELPS SABOTAGE PRINCESS'S GAME

[pchaaair]

NEVER TRUSTING ANOTHER ECHO AGAIN DO YOU GUYS JUST WANT TO KILL PRINCESSES (unsure)

[vaguelydied]

GOD BUT WHAT if she played a huge prank on all of them or blamed them for some mess/trouble and this is how they get her back!

[pchaaair]

maybe she will

she gets bored easy enough

[toomuchyakking]

If you want a 'a random wolf eats them' or nature-themed bad end, the yaksinis can help

[pchaaair]

... I vote we just do an Echo pileup, for some reason all of these Echoes just want to see a Princess die :(

[swordedpast]

What if you run a mingle where the Princess innocently and accidentally offends all the other Echoes, and this is their way of getting back at her?

[fangirlitis]

If you need shippy drama, you know who to call♥

[wingtamer]

the witch would definitely help with this :)

[toomuchyakking]

I'm all booked out for months so someone else else should take these ideas if they want!

- There's this party game called The resistance I think could easily be adaptable to a game. I'm not any good at numbers, so I can't do it.

- An old-school RPG style exploradora could be fun! Send people on a dumb quest across the generic lands of Grindia! “Your exits are north, south, east, and west. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.”

- A game based off the Loveless series, where characters are paired off. They get a special name describing their partnership (Loveless, Fearless, Suckless), have cat ears/tail if they're virgins, and engage in wordplay battles. To borrow from another game, here's a FAQ covering the fight/sacrifice relationship, how the fighting works, etc. It places two characters in an intense partnership where working together is obligatory, not necessarily even from the same team, and it's a combat game without having to worry about how strong your kung-fu is.

[pchaaair]

ALSO game ideas for people to run if they'd like, but I may not be able to run on my own!

- LEGENDS OF THE HIDDEN TEMPLE, GUTS, Double Dare, etc. Old Nickelodeon gameshows! I'm sure there's a good way to turn this stuff into a game.

- LIFEBOATS

- The Game of Life

- OPERATION (non-trauma, trauma would be horrible omg)

- Mousetrap, Clue, Guess Who, board games like that!! MAYBE EVEN JUMANJI.

[vaguelydied]

we totally had the same idea

[pchaaair]

omg yes we did

although it's true, they'd make good games.

[chuggachuggasnoozesnooze]

I WAS ACTUALLY thinking of doing a jumanji game, and then I forgot to ask the boardgame echo if they were planning something like that

[pchaaair]

I AM PRETTY SURE that I heard Vappa say that she wanted to run something like it at one point. :|a!! I didn't remember until after I had posted the comment.

[bittersweetness]

We do have The Board to do those games.

[pchaaair]

I REMEMBERED after I posted that /)'w'(\

i will shove them at vappa like HERE VAPPA HERE

[bittersweetness]

Legends of the Hidden Temple is something the Empress could help with.

[pchaaair]

I might be able to do something with the new Echo that I want to do! I'm fairly limited on Things I Can Do With Princess, but the next one should be flexible enough to run something Legends of the Hidden Temple-esque.

It would be fun. /)'w'(\

And we should include that stupid monkey.

[forallages]

Let us discuss sometime :3

[pchaaair]

yesss, let's. :3c

[vaguelydied]

1. GUTS (Nick's action/live action gameshow) would make a really cool premise for a game! It would involve a lot of math I think, but there are ways to work around that (loser game, though competition might make this all the more fun). RPG-style with action elements and would reward a team's athleticism, which is generally not something games reward so that might be kind of fun.

2. I'd love to see Jeopardy played somehow, some way, though that might have to be largely through IRC hrmmmm
or MAYBE MAYBE is it uh. that gameshow where you have to guess all of the answers to a question like "top 10 things mothers hate about christmas" -- family feud right?

3. I still really want to do a tug of war against another team game :|a if someone has any ideas of how to make that happen please let me know

4. I really want to run another strings-type game a la decollage sometime, if someone would like to co-run/help me plan because I am a trauma baby and won't have my first trauma game in aather until July. . .!

5. TELEPHONE. Sort of like the picture/action game -- which i'm not sure what it's called, but someone writes a phrase and another team has to draw a picture to match it, then the next team writes a different phrase to describe the picture and we see where it goes. I am pretty sure i will run this one at some point, because it's silly and cute.

6. APPLES TO APPLES.

[swordedpast]

I am tentatively planning to run trauma Apples to Apples in March.

[wingtamer]

i am a trauma baby also but i am willing to offer my echo/co-run the strings game '-'!!

also re: the tug of war, maybe it could be a sort of statistics/sacrifices game? BY SACRIFICES I MEAN LIKE you have to confess secrets to boost points or you have to do X activity to boost your strength or something, idk you're in a giant robot that's tugging the rope or something. i don't know.

i really like the idea of telephone!!! i look forward to it gosh.

[chuggachuggasnoozesnooze]

1. I really, really want to run a game based off Fortune Street, but I have absolutely no idea how to make that work, because even doing a simplified version of it seems like it'd just be way too hard to keep track of.

2. Another thing is Mario Party, which I actually do have some ideas for but nothing real solid at all so suggestions would be cool!

3. games that ruin friendships

[leadstodeath]

someone said IC cards against humanity

[pchaaair]

cards personalized to kyriakos should be used for sure

[bittersweetness]

- what about an ace attorney game?? the empress can be the judge

- cry wolfff

- fairytale games!

[acemedium]

re: AA game, EVENINGSTAR APPROVES

You could probably pit two teams against each other, one side to be defense, one side to be prosecution, and empress (and/or other NPCs) oversees and mediates the discussion. If you really want it to be true to form, you can have some ridiculous AA-style case set up and whatever team gets to the truth first wins or just whoever can sway the judge (maybe a jury of echoes or something idek)

[bittersweetness]

YEAH I think it's doable.

[pchaaair]

cry wolf might be interesting but i'm not sure if we have enough numbers since teammates aren't supposed to be pitted against each other. :|a

... unless! there was a very condensed one day version in aather, maybe that could work out better than spanning days just due to our lack of numbers? :|a six teams makes those games a little hard (unfortunately).

[heron]

Yeah possibly.

[acemedium]

-this might have to wait, but further along the line a game where teams have to answer questions about their own teammates (their worlds, memories, dislikes/likes, that kind of thing. And/or setting detail questions. I was thinking it could be set up like a gameshow, with status effects for wrong answers, etc.

-hostage trauma game where you have to hurt-up-to kill the other team's hostage in order to save yours/possibly yourself from pain!! The more damage you inflict on the hostage, the more the certainty that yours will be saved. Refusing to hurt a hostage will mean more damage on your team's hostage and possibly yourself.

-the hungry games. Come on it'd be hilarious. Except instead of sesame street teams have to eat their way through weird foods to win.

-A vague power rangers type game where the teammates have to pick animal robots and then combine robots and attacks and to fight something.

-A game based in the same vein as witches in Madoka Magica - as in, one person from each team designs a witch, along with area, familiars, etc, based on what they've remembered and their experiences in Kyr. The witches would be mixed up, with each team facing another team's witch, and they either have to fight the witch or figure out who it is and verbally reason with/reach out to/appeal them them somehow
