Xocrates' Cold War TWG - GAME OVER: CIA Wins

Postby Xocrates » Wed May 07, 2008 8:03 pm

Setting: It's the high of the Cold War, the crew of the nuclear submarine K278 – Prokofiev is on a mission for the glorious Soviet nation when they discover that vile CIA agents have infiltrated their midst and even now conspire to get them all killed. Will the crew manage to fight them back and successfully accomplish their mission?


Rules: Usual Rules apply, with the roles and exceptions mentioned bellow:

CIA Agents (aka wolves): Unlike usual rules, Agents will not know the identities of all the other Agents with the exception of the Lead Agent (see bellow), instead they'll be placed in a network and each Agent will receive the name of one or more contacts (number of contacts may vary from Agent to Agent depending on the network). Additionally, one of the Agents will be working for the humans, and as a consequence Agents are allowed to kill other Agents.

Every night each Agent must PM me their vote for who gets killed. In case of a draw the kill will correspond to the vote of the Lead agent or, if he's dead, the first vote I receive after the night start.

Submarine Crew (aka humans): No basic changes, other than Cryptographer, Double Agent and Assassin

Special roles:

Lead Agent: the only wolf to know the name of all the other wolves as well as their position in the network
Double Agent: In replacement of the Seer. All the Agent rules apply to him (he still has to vote, but may file in a blank vote, as do all wolves), but he only wins if the crew wins and counts as a crew member for reasons of victory condition check. Additionally, the game does not end in an Agent victory while the Double Agent is alive.
Assassin: In replacement of Vigilante, during the night he is allowed to choose a player to kill. This kill will be indistiguishable from an agent kill (the agents won't lose their kill though). His identity will not be revealed and he can only use his power once.
Security Officer (aka Guardian Angel):Usual stuff.
The Cryptographer: The Cryptographer can PM me and ask for the answer to one of the coded messages sent so far and I'll give it to him. This is a one time power.
Additionally, in the day after the Cryptographer dies (be it by lynching or by being "eaten"/assassinated) I'll post detailed steps to solve the coded message from the previous day

Other Rules: Inspired by the Town Drunk idea, each day the crew will receive a coded message containing useful information, however someone misplaced the code book and every day the cypher is different.

- Arguments relying on metagaming, or otherwise events that did not occur within the game are shunned upon and should be kept at a minimum. Quoting something that happened in the pre-game or something the GM said is disallowed.

- The rules are just that, the rules. And in order to make sure that the game is as fair as possible to everyone involved, the GM may correct any information regarding rules posted by any player. Regardless of consequences (short version: don't invoke the rules to justify your arguments)

good old wiki wrote:K-278 Komsomolets was the only Project 685 Плавник (Plavnik, meaning "fin", also known by its NATO reporting name of "Mike"-class) nuclear-powered attack submarine of the Soviet Navy. ... In October 1988, K-278 was honored by becoming one of the few Soviet submarines to be given an actual name: Комсомолец (Komsomolets, meaning "a member of the Young Communist League")

Emphasis mine.

Although I failed to point it out, you were winning anyway :wink: but that is a really good argument.
