The quality might be bad though on the free stream, there is supposedly a way to get a free upgrade as detailed here http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmess..._id=259099 I haven't tried it though.

I know the schedule listed here is pretty rubbish so I will try to edit more details in when they are announced.

Prologue

Needing a break from the stress of your daily routine, you booked a vacation in an exclusive island resort at the edges of civilization. To tell the truth, you were hoping to make some new friends, but your fellow holidaymakers could best be described as... weird. Still, it promised to be a relaxing time until the mood was inevitably spoiled by the remains of a dwarf being found in the morning:

Meiz, Korgan Bloodaxe, Village Berserker was killed night 0

You gathered in the lobby and quickly determined that Korgan had been killed and eaten by werewolves. What was worse, the next boat off the island wasn't due for a week. Outlandish as your fellow travellers may be, you'll have to work with them to survive.


Current Deadline: Night 3, 2200 GMT Sunday November 27

Day 1

Rules

1. 48 hour days / 24 hour nights. Phase ends at 2200 GMT even if the moderator isn't online. Votes and actions submitted after that time will be ignored. If a player holds over 50% of the votes at the 24 hour mark of the day, they will be lynched and the day will end.
2. Roles will be randomly assigned and initially secret. Quoting PMs from the moderator is forbidden, you may paraphrase in your own words.
3. During the day each player may cast one vote for someone to be lynched.
4. Votes must be posted in red or they will not count.
5. The player with most lynch votes at the end of the day is killed. In the event that two or more players are tied for the most votes, the first person to reach that number of votes during the day will be lynched.
6. Night actions have been pre-assigned a priority order that seems sensible to the GM and will be processed in that order.
7. Dead players may make one posthumous post that doesn't contribute to discussion.
8. Forum profile camping is not allowed.
9. Anyone failing to vote for 2 consecutive game days will be mod killed and removed from the game with a loss.
10. To prevent confusion that may arise in the case of cross posting, posts may not be edited.
11. Breaking the rules will result in penalties ranging from warnings to being mod killed depending on the severity of the infraction.
12. Players may not communicate with other players about the game outside the thread via PM, email, chat etc. unless told otherwise.
13. Players must check their PMs each game day before posting.
14a. The village (11/15) wins when all wolves are dead.
14b. The wolves (3/15) win if they make up 50% or more of remaining players at the end of a phase.
14c. The possessed (1/15) counts as a villager for the purpose of evaluating victory conditions, but wins with the wolves.

So, Ranked Teams are out soon, So will we make one? You can have max of eight players on a team, So the people in it will be... Sullla, Speaker, Varis, Dantski, Youngdiva, Seyruun, Sunrise and Maybe Cull if he's not trolling.

Anyone else have their thoughts?

Any Financial people looking in here will get sued.

That out of the way here is and amusing picture of how we compare to the other 4 financial civilizations. It is also an amusing picture about the potential update speed of this thread.

Will our Civ's theme be 1990's rock bands who haven't really held up over time?



In that vein...

Welcome for a merry Khazad ride! Legends tell of a Santa Dwarf living in Erebus, give him a hill city and he'll reward you with toys!

Give him all 3 hill cities, and he'll be glad with joy! You don't get any benefits, but it's for charity!

Hi! I'm Commodore, and along with DaveV here we're playing the horsey guys, except led by the horsey chick! I'm newer than a fresh-hatched chick, but a dude, elowell!

The other dudes might lead us to water, but they can't make us drink it!

Right lets try this again without mistforms shall we?

Should be an interesting game, have Squareleg onboard as a ded lurker, and will quite happily welcoem anybody else who wants in
