The index for the Medal Round is up, we'll do Quarters and Semi's on Saturday and wrap up with the Medal Games on Sunday.

Round Robin Index Medal Round Index We're likely to get the tournament games started on Weds unless I get all my lines in at a reasonable time tomorrow, just to give GM's some time given how late this wound up getting up today. That said to the 5 WJC GM's please send your lines to rpower22@gmail.com. Any other questions just shoot me a DM on Discord ideally or a PM on the forum works. Rosters should be good however. Best of luck to everyone lets have a fun tournament.

Less of a Town of and more of a fun way to leverage some of the gamesets that exist for actual Pokemon gameplay but in a forum format with others. I'm actually quite digging this, I'll check this out sign me up.

Also, to keep with the theme ya'll set....

I haven't forgotten about you. We lost a player due to the situation with that member and I've had a hectic few days so I think I'm just gonna try to find a replacement and get us back into motion later today, if folks want to play of course still. As mentioned it was a little "less than" active but that did pick up as the day wore on and people started getting actions in I can confirm, and we do have enough actions pending the new player doing something to get it going proper.

INDEX @VHLE GMThis has been up in the portal since last night, just putting this in the forum here. Double sim incoming to start the playoffs, good luck to everyone!

Hello players. It was indeed a quiet first Act and for the most part that actually played out true behind the scenes. Players figuring out what abilities did, I still have one lingering player not on the Discord in @Jack Johnsonwho didn't get any actions sent in to me. Just want to give people a chance to get the rules so that last first Act was extended a bit just for fair play. We now resume regularly scheduled programming with probably an 8:30 PM ET start of new Act everyday. Anyway let's wrap up Act 1 shall we? We didn't have any votes to jail. We did get a revealed Commissioner James Gordon in Ricer (check the OP for updated role list and the overall game thread with current disrupted players etc.) As far as what we learned from the Bat Signal last night as it makes sense to get to that first; Bat Signal Utility Action: Someone failed in an attempt to use their Utility Action and was disrupted for the next Act. Utility Action: Someone was sent to jail. Ability Action: Someone was dealt an attack that both disrupted and roleblocked them for the next Act. As for news from the night to report on. We DID have one jail, Spartan found himself in jail for a brief period last night but we also have one murder to report on as well. @Doomsday was found shot dead, a scarred silver dollar with two heads on it was found next to his corpse, confirming we in fact have a Two Face in the game. Doomsday was a Blackgate Jailor, which means Spartan is sent right back out into the streets of Gotham to do his bidding. Because someone was sent to jail however all the players who have Jail Discord access will be given theirs shortly. With 11 now non jailed living players we still need 6 total votes to get a majority and send someone to jail. The Mob Leader bonus from Black Mask remains in affect. Act 2 has begun!

Extending Day 1 of this for a spell here, just want to make sure everyone has had a chance to go over what they can or cannot do, still missing a few actions/abilities from some notable players. Will be starting the next Act at some point tonight/early morning though for sure.

This is in fact a true statement, and Ricer IS in fact the one and only James Gordon!

Town of Gotham #3 is upon us! Mostly everyone should be up in their proper Discords, remember for the first Act here only the two Blackgate Jailors have Jail Access and everyone in the game with Jail Access will join at the start of the first Act when somebody is in jail. Speaking of jail, and changes, well NORMALLY this is where I would let you all know that the big new change on top of no Day/Night Phase and this thread being open without being closed is that Gotham can now vote to jail up to 2 people per day instead of 1. However, revealing his presence in the game early is a Mob Leader ability that will debunk that going forward. This also slightly reveals how the Mob Leader stuff works, in the event one is elected Gotham will learn what ability they have in play to start an Act. So it's a bit of a double edged sword as the Mob gets a bonus, but at the price of revealing just who is who when it comes to who is playing in the Mob. The Mob Leader perk in play today is Mob Leader - Controlling Influence: While Black Mask is Mob Leader Gotham can only vote to jail 1 player during any Act instead of 2. The first time Black Mask is jailed while he is also the Mob Leader a jailbreak occurs at the start of the next Act. With that our confirmed role list at the start of Act 1, with no player identities yet revealed is as follows; 12 Players Gotham (4) Commissioner James Gordon - ???? Blackgate Jailor - Doomsday (Dead) Blackgate Jailor - ???? ???? - ???? Bat Family (2) Batman - ???? ???? - ???? The Mob (4) Black Mask - ???? Two Face - ???? ???? - ???? ???? - ???? Unaligned (2) Ra's Al Ghul - ???? ???? - ???? Disrupted Players Act 2: Advantage, omgitshim That game list will get updated at the start of each act to reflect revealed/confirmed roles and to also show when a player is disrupted during an Act so Gotham knows they are incapable of voting. Anyway, with that ACT 1 HAS BEGUN! Gotham can get right to voting 1 target player, and with 12 living non jailed players that means we only need 6 total to send someone to jail. Unlike before this won't occur until the start of the next Act, so this doesn't stop any Ability Actions that are likely to occur during this Act. Make sure you read/understand the changes as well, Utility Actions are pretty powerful and happen instantly so get your actions in to me once you know what you got planned. Have a good time ya'll. Oh right, times. So because we changed it to be just an Act, each Act will last about 24 hours. So to give myself a spare hour let's go ahead and say the start of Act 2 will be at 7PM ET. Let chaos reign!

@Dom expressed interest in joining in the Discord, so that gives us 12. I'll be setting up roles in an hour or so here so if any late stragglers want to get in just get a post in here.

Need 2 more to sign ups to at least get started yet btw.

Sitting at 9 signups currently, need 3 more to get a game going. Going to overall leave signups for another day at least and we'll see where we stand.

Bump, mass tag to last games participants is out and we are now officially RECRUITING for Game 3! Post your interest here!

Some patch notes before we get to setting up a third game. There is no longer a Day/Night cycle, and Acts happen live. The game thread will now stay open during the entire portion that the game is live. Actions have been recategorized into Utility and Ability Actions, with Utility Actions resolving instantly and Ability Actions being added to the stack to resolve in conjunction with others abilities during the end of Act portion of the game. Most of the minor non unique characters were given boosts, every character now has a Passive Ability. Minor changes were made to Scarecrow, The Riddler and a few other roles to fit in conjunction with the new format as well as to balance some things about how they played. Riddles now must be solved within 2 whole Acts or they explode. 4 new characters were added, one per faction. Mayor Aubrey James, Batwoman, Black Mask, and Anarky. Gotham may now vote to jail 2 people during any Act's game thread as opposed to 1. The Mob no longer has a legendary character included with every game, and instead several Mob characters can become Mob Leader which gives them an extra Passive Ability to help the Mob win the game.

Didn't spot this one before my recent sim, will be added for tomorrow. The other one was though. Amended - Processed this now for line purposes for the teams. Players should be on your rosters accordingly.

GG Indeed. Okay folks. Here was the role list for the game. Gotham Commisioner Gordon - @Goliathus Blackgate Jailor - @scoop (Converted to the Mob) Blackgate Jailor - @Spartan(Converted to the Mob, dead) Gotham ER - @Jericho GCPD Surveillance - @Adrest245 Bat-Family Batman - @Advantage (Dead) Nightwing - @Ptyrell Robin - @rory (Dead) The Mob Scarecrow - @Zack Victor Zsasz - @Ricer13 The Penguin - @NSG Carmine Falcone - @Doomsday Unaligned Ra's Al Ghul - @Ben (Nightwing and Commisioner Gordon) The Riddler - @omgitshim Catwoman - @Berocka(The Penguin, The Riddler, Ra's Al Ghul) Bane - @MMFLEX Given where things are at, even with a Rha's final rez that was about to commence, given Nightwing had not submitted an action and mob had entire control of the jail it was just going to be inevitable at this point that a nearly entirely alive Mob will win the game. Spartan is really the only odd player out but he was also a recruit. Therefore our multiple winners of this game are The Mob (Zack, Ricer, NSG, Doomsday, and Scoop) as well as our tag alongs who met win conditions, MMFlex as Bane for literally killing Batman. Berocka as Catwoman was about to steal from all her targets on the last Act, giving her the win. Ben as Ra's Al Ghul was about to resurrect his third unique character that so Ben will also get a win here. Lastly OMG's chaotic and fun riddles that he came up with himself by the way, also get the win as he had plenty unsolved. Congrats to our winners. Re our usual prizes. Given you guys patience this game, and given the nature of this game being very specific to having a lot of unique roles I'm going to give everyone who won a 50% chance of selecting their role in our ToG 3 the Testing/Tweaking Continues! The game was actually a lot closer than people gave it credit for. Bat Family and Gotham had nearly won, I believe by my count there was a point where only MMFlex as Bane was not jailed as a member of unaligned/The Mob. Ra's doesn't count remember for the win condition remember. But then that very same Bane killed Spartan and set in motion the end of Gotham. Anyway, hope to see you all for the next game when I decide to finally run it. I want to get my thoughts on my changes down and probably summarize some patch notes for them so people have an easier time of taking a look at specifically what has changed/been altered now that some of you have had a chance to actually get some of the ruleset and concepts down.

For real though, I'm actually just gonna close this "Test run 2" and declare the rest of the winners. With enough time between plays and people were not around (understandably so given the delay issues) this just makes the most sense. On the plus side work has been steady? Lol. Thanks for everyone who played though seriously both scheduling, some naming, and even a few character changes (and new characters) will be added before I start another game of this. I've realized given the nature of Gotham thematically, but also given my scheduling going forward going with the conventional ToS Day/NIght cycle isn't really as mandatory as I thought it was. I'll let you all know who won what given where we were at in the game in and go from their. to you all, seriously thanks for testing out this chaos with me. I hope to see people again for a the third game down the road here it'll be this month for sure, just probably mid to later just so I can normalize these long hours.

Only one person per day is voted, it's the most votes provided there is a majority goes, so in the instance it's split but both have the majority just the one with more goes. If it's a tie, I don't know I hadn't thought about that probably be chosen at random at that point between one of two.

What is dead may never die, or something like that. Sorry again all the apologies and good fortune to all who hope to finish off this game. We actually had a CRAZY "last night" of Gotham activity. Nothing to do but get formal and wrap up all the details that we learn here. The Blackgate Jail got a little fuller last night as both Ricer13 and NSG were sent to jail last night. It was short lived for one of them as we will also report that Ricer13 has escaped prison. We have two that is right I said TWO deaths to report on. Both @Advantage and @rory were killed last night. Their exact roles are not revealed which does confirm that they are in fact both members of Bat-Family. That isn't all, we have a WIN to report on following all of that madness. @MMFLEX has successfully fulfilled his win condition and has left the game! (You do not learn his role, or what his win condition was that caused him to leave the game.) Congrats to MMFlex. Bat Signal Information: Batman used a night action last night! Ra's Al Ghul activated the Lazarus Pit again last night as well. @omgitshim just can't stay dead, and has returned to the game! That should about cover it. 10 living non-jailed players means we only need 5 votes total to jail someone. I'll be leaving the day portion of this thread up for a spell to give everyone a chance to realize this has returned and flood back in and figure out what's what. Thanks again for your patience and for playing. I'll be continuing to make changes as we go including to overall format and scheduling and I think I have some solutions that'll work even for longer stretches. Anywho, get to it. ACT VI HAS BEGUN! Feel free to send me your actions privately whenever for either day or night.
