Game Mechanics[]

Rules[]

OOP:

  • trap > redirect > block > others, First Prime > Teal’c > O’Neill > Carter for same actions

Shows in NP:

  • Killed hosts
  • RID kills
  • Successful saves
  • Jonas’s ODTG

Cronus Mechanics:

  • Has a Greek account used only for BTSC (player advised to keep anonymous to avoid outing via concurrent activity).
  • Begins N1 in a random goodie’s account (not including Teal’c) and assumes their role.
  • He can speak freely in the game thread in this account, and can act and vote in place of the player.
  • The taken over player can look at the game thread via their main account, but will not have access to their Greek account and cannot post.
  • He should not send PMs. Ask questions and submit actions in BTSC.
  • Switching
    • He cannot take over Jaffa (Teal’c and First Prime)
    • His host switch can be blocked and redirected. If he is redirected to someone he can’t occupy, he does not switch.
    • He cannot perform any other actions.

Notes:

  • Aliens are Cronus, Teal'c, First Prime, and Jonas.
  • On a night Cronus moves, Daniel’s and Frasier’s spies test positive for his old host, but not his new host (unless the new host would already test positive).
  • On a night that Cronus moves, targeting Cronus’ old host will give Carter a new ability, while targeting his new host will not (unless his new host is an alien).
  • If Cronus takes over Carter, she will gain a new ability only when Cronus moves to another host, assuming he keeps her alive.
  • If Jonas acts when Cronus switches hosts, Jonas becomes Cronus' new host.
  • In said situation, if Cronus chose to kill his previous host, both Cronus and Jonas die, but Cronus' previous host does not.

Role Description[]

Stargate Command

  • WinCon: Eliminate Cronus and his Jaffa
  1. General George Hammond
    • General of Stargate Command. Has great influence. Can prevent a player from getting lynched, but not the same player twice. The identity of the lynch target will not be revealed.
  2. Colonel Jack O'Neill
    • Leader of SG-1. Able to give a command to someone each night, excluding Hammond. (Redirect)
  3. Daniel Jackson
    • A brilliant archaeologist, with great insight into alien cultures. Can determine if someone is alien.
  4. Captain Samantha Carter
    • An incredible scientist and engineer. Able to manipulate alien technology for her own purposes. Because she was briefly a Goa’uld host, she has naquadah in her bloodstream and can detect it in others (tests positive for Cronus, First Prime, Teal’c, and past hosts). Each time she comes into contact with an alien (once per alien) she can add an action to her arsenal, randomly chosen from role spy (doesn’t detect Cronus), follow spy, save, RID lynch save (not the same player twice), block or redirect. She may only use one action per cycle, regardless of available options. None of her bonus actions can be used two cycles in a row.
  5. Teal'c
    • A swift and powerful Jaffa warrior, determined to put an end to the false gods that are the Goa'uld. Can incapacitate someone each night (Block). May also choose to undergo kel'no'reem, giving up his action in order to gain a boost of strength and morale and a choice of a 24 hour save (save from kill and lynch) or 24 hour trap (keep from acting that night and speaking the following day day, does not provide night or day immunity) the following night.
  6. Doctor Frasier
    • A distinguished medical doctor who has seen every bizarre and unearthly case imaginable. Can choose to save someone or examine them for a symbiote (can tell whether they are a Goa'uld/Jaffa or human).
  7. Jonas Quinn
    • An alien from the planet Langara. He has a tremendous sense of duty and will do anything to help his comrades. ODTG can choose to have all baddie actions redirected to himself.

Goa’uld: have BTSC, no NK

  • WinCon: Be in majority
  1. Cronus
    • Teal'c's former master, and the murderer of Teal'c's father. Spends the game residing in others. While residing in someone, he has complete control over their words and actions. Any night he can choose to switch hosts, and can choose to either kill his previous host or let them live.
  2. First Prime to Cronus
    • The greatest among the Cronus' Jaffa, and perfectly loyal to his god. Has the same abilities as Teal'c, without the 24-hour save. If Cronus is killed, he goes on a furious rampage, gaining a kill. He can choose to substitute this kill for two RID kills, but both must be correct for them to go through.

Host's Summary[]

Game Idea and Expectations[]

Game[]

This was a fun game for me, and I’m a bit disappointed it went so quickly. I’m glad the general concept of taking over accounts seemed to work well in making the goodies paranoid and really unsure where the baddie could be. Unfortunately, that only lasted for one cycle, which really wasn’t enough to really get into it.

While I don’t think the baddies’ decision to withhold moving was itself a game-breaker, it did make Cronus’s N2 move predictable. They seemed to receive little suspicion on D1, given the N2 actions, so they might have actually been better off withholding the move again and going for a mislynch. I had actually wanted mislynches to be much more of a tool for the baddies than in a standard game, hence the lack of a consistent night kill. I even thought toward the end of D1 that I should have made D1 ties a random lynch as well, to keep to that concept, but by then it was too late.

I also wanted moving without killing to be a viable option, but I realized that the ability of goodies to clear themselves afterward was too great a disadvantage of that. I’m not sure how it could be made a better move for the baddies.

Jonas’s ability was of course a major part of this game. I realized in the beginning that it could end like this, but I wanted that incentive for the baddies to not kill their hosts every night. I also liked the idea of the WiFoM game going on between Cronus and Jonas. If I do this again, I would like to have a similar ability, but I’ll consider making it weaker somehow. Maybe disable Cronus some way instead of killing him. I also realized it may have been better if Jonas’s ability didn’t show in the NP. That way, even though Cronus would be dead, there would be the disadvantage that no one would know that he was dead, which I think would greatly hinder them finding and killing First Prime.

Size was another issue. This game was probably too small to really give the concept justice. I felt constrained by a lack of roles when I was designing it, and settled for what seemed a balance design. Trying to add more roles would be difficult if I wanted to make a coherent story that at least loosely went along with the Stargate series (I already had a hard time trying to do that with this game, with my limited story-making abilities). I almost want to make a vanilla game so I don’t have to worry about roles and can just focus on gameplay and balance.

Now, I would like to award the MVP. Panther (Pi) made a crucial move that essentially handed the goodies the win. Donnie (Tau) deeply analyzed the game from the beginning, offering a lot of sound information and strategy, and had a large part in bringing Prime down. I would like to award them both as co-MVPs.

Last but not least, thanks to everyone for playing. It was really fun being the main host for the first time (and hosting at all for the second) and seeing how everyone thought through the game. I wasn’t sure about hosting before, but after this I’ll be looking to do it in the future as well. But next time maybe I’ll try to do it in a way that doesn’t involve story. Tongue I’m glad you guys had fun as well. Hopefully next time the game will last a week or so.
