Post subject:  Nonary Game 5 Cancelled ;-;

Yes, this is very soon after the *technical* conclusion to the last game but I won't have a chance to run another for about half a year otherwise. If people aren't interested, then I suppose the sign-ups won't be filled :/

Some small notes (will add to these if anyone has more questions):

-Once again, everybody's getting a backstory that connects to the larger mystery
-The mystery will be more in the vein of Nonary Game 4 than 3
-The safe/puzzle aspects will be included for the puzzle rooms (probably not as good puzzles though :p )
-It will be difficult/impossible for any large group of people to win this. This game will encourage backstabbing more than the others

Agree to Neo-MAMA before signing up

Spoiler: Neo-MAMA
I understand and agree that by participating in the game:

All actions made in the game must adhere to the spirit of sportsmanship and fair play. All in-game actions are towards the in-game victory. All actions expressed in the game are without insult, ill-will, harmful intent, or personal grudges. Furthermore, any outside alliances, friendships, or other relationships will not affect any of my decisions in the game.

During any game, the Game Master's (and/or co-GM's and/or proxy GM's) judgments regarding the game are final, and not subject to review. This is excepted ONLY when a forum rule is broken, or under very extreme circumstances. All cases will be assessed and processed by CR staff members only. In these exceptions, the staff decision is then final.

The use of meta-game methods for collecting and disseminating information is grounds for penalization. This majorly includes (but isn't limited to):

Screenshots of game-related content.
Creating/using a secondary account.
Using non-players to aid you.
Threatening, extorting, bribing, or otherwise forcing/buying the behaviour of any party involved in a game to influence the outcome of a game.
Reading restricted conversation areas. (Includes, not limited to: Dead/Spectator Thread, QuickTopics, other player's role PM's, etc.)

Pursuing my primary victory condition takes precedence over everything else. If even the slightest chance of victory for my faction remains, I must pursue it for all I'm worth. I will always pursue the victory of myself or my faction and will not knowingly and/or willingly assist other factions, unless it does not interfere with my chances of victory. I will make no attempts, through any action or inaction, to knowingly hinder the efforts of myself or others within my faction to achieve victory.

I will not, through any action or inaction, attempt to ruin the game's experience for others. I will not be arrogant in victory, nor contemptuous in defeat. I will be respectful toward all other players of any background and skill level.

The utilization of means to circumvent the phrasing of this agreement will be considered a violation. Anything determined to violate the spirit of this agreement is subject to penalties on par with a violation of any of the specific directives.

If for any reason it is determined that I am in violation of the NEO-MAMA, I understand that I will be penalized for my actions with or without warning, inclusive of being expelled from current and/or future games.
If you are incapable of abiding by this agreement, do not play the game.
NONARY GAMEPLAY RULES

All participants must agree to the NEO-MAMA in order to play any and all rounds of Nonary Games
All round-specific requests (power usage, item usage, affiliating, etc.) must be sent to the Game Master via private message. The use of instant messaging clients to request is forbidden.
Living players may not directly quote any messages they receive from the Game Master without their express consent.
Game Masters reserve the right to remove any player from their game at any time, for any reason they wish.

LIFE, DEATH, & ACTIVITY RULES

Living players may not view or post within the Dead Thread, and dead players may not post in the Living Thread. You must immediately contact the GM or a member of the staff if you have the ability to break this rule.
You may not, as a dead player/spectator, reveal round-specific information to living players.
Signing up for a round and being inactive will not be tolerated. Players are removed from a game after a duration of its GM's choosing, which cannot exceed 72 hours to maintain site efficiency.
The abuse of thread access to indiscriminately post irrelevant bulk messages is not allowed. However, you're not required to remain completely on-topic all the time. The more amusing you are, the more lenience you'll receive.


Game will start at everyone's convenience

Hmm just so you know.

Most of the puzzles in my game probably weren't considered too hard by folks, in fact across both games I think I only had one person fail a puzzle, everyone else just didn't answer or got it right.

Also what do you mean by the mystery will be more like 3's than 4's?

Feel free to put me down for now. I agree to the Neo-Mama. I'll just need to get a mosey on with GF's endings so I don't get swamped.

From what I can intercepts of what JM is saying.... He's saying that the mystery will be more like Nonary Game 4 than Nonary Game 3. At least that's what I can make of his statements.

Also, count me in! I already read the NEO-MAMA.

I hope I won't get number 4 again. I want to be a different number this time around. XD

Sign me up! I agree to the NEO-MAMA.

It might be useful to inform people in the 4th game's post-game thread. I'm not sure everyone regularly checks outside of the threads they're subscribed to.

Sorry, shouldn't have said "easier", they'll be the same/harder. I was planning on getting them online so the solutions would be easy to look up. It would pretty much just rely on honor system

Though I did just remember that I got some riddle cards as a birthday present a while back. Some are easy, some are hard. Here's an example

I'll probably try to pick a difficultly level somewhere between these two cards

A good amount of these riddles are math/science leaning, is that ok with everyone?

I don't consider myself great at either but whatever I'll give them a shot. I imagine it'll be more time that prevents me solving puzzles rather than difficulty.

Oh and as Rioichi said, it'll be more like 4's than 3's, though I can't really go into that deeply without spoiling. But it won't be about one essentially central past-mystery like 3's was

Yes! Yes! Yes! I won't miss my chance this time. However, I hate to celebrate off of Pierre's circumstances... Still, I'll jump on this while I can.

But I agree to the NEO-MAMA and wish to sign up as the first substitute. If Pierre decides I can take his spot, then so be it.

EDIT: Darnit. :ron: Okay Bad Player, you can be ahead of me. I'll replace for anyone else should something come up.

Screw studying for finals! Just access the Morphogenetic Field.

Seriously though, you beat me to the punch so you do have first dibs (though I did properly sign up and agree to the NEO-MAMA while you just asked if you could play.)

Before all of that I'd have appreciated trying to bargain to pause the game a bit (or just play without me) but I suppose fair is fair. If you want to replace me for it go ahead.

Oh, I'm sorry. My summer classes start in May so I wanted to make sure to get the game going before then so this didn't overlap with school too much. I'd be willing to delay the game or day or something for a player but considering this game will only last 1-2 weeks (hopefully), missing a week of the game is 50% or more of it and a long time to delay

Though I wasn't taking you off the player list, Slezak'll just be your replacement for when you drop the game. You can still start the game (and possibly finish)

Yes, phase change will be every 24 hours

Nah don't worry about me, it'll be better for consistency if Slezak takes the full experience.

Thank you very much for considering me and thank you Pierre for being honest. Seems like delaying the game's out of the question so I'm sorry you can't play.

Of course, I still wonder: Bad Player did inquire about playing before I'd posted. Shouldn't he be considered before I am? Even if he did say he had finals, it still seems like he was interested in playing.

Well, there's always the far future :P

If you don't think that'll work, though, if you have all the GM documents already typed up and stuff though, I could run it.

Thanks, but I don't have them typed up. That was the plan for today

So the game is postponed until TBD for now. Someone can run their own Nonary Game 5 in the meantime if they wish
