Rayelek

Swap Jerry & Duane if Jerry is a bad fit for Assault? I like doing what ROH used to do with Nigel Mcguiness and have my authority figure on color commentary, so maybe go with Duke Hazzard on the Assault brand, have him announce for both shows and he can make matches right from the booth. Duane/Duke for the A Show, someone/Duke for the B Show? Then for the Supreme Brand, Jerry/Emma for the A show, Marv/Ana for the B Show is fine. The B Show doesn't necessarily need a separate match maker, but if you want one, that's a good spot for MC Motormouth to start potentially, or Carl Batch to work. I don't have the game in front of me so I'm blanking on announcers to potentially hire. Off the top of my head, Remmington Remus, Terry Smith, or Dane O'Hara are guys I like to use, but i don't think any is particularly stellar.

It is almost Day Phase 1. Once you have received your role PM, you are free to post. Day Phase 1 will end at 9am EST (2pm GMT) on Sunday June 23rd. There are 17 living players, so 9 votes are required for a lynch. Have fun!

Rayelek - Mac Donald, Ellin's Grove Aligned Farmer History of Ellin's Grove Day Phase 1 Night Phase 1 - Deaths of Leion & lukess11 Day Phase 2 (lukess11 & Leion were resurrected on this day)

READ OR DIE HOW TO PLAY: - All of you will be PM’d a role and your alignment. The objective is to eliminate all members of the opposing alignment from the game. - Each player has been given a role with their own special ability. Your PM will explain what it does, if you are meant to know. You don’t have to reveal what your role is to the other players, nor will I do so in my updates. Then again there is nothing to stop you, so if you feel that it may help prove your innocence, go ahead – just keep in mind that this could also backfire and help the mafia. In other words, claim at your own risk. Likewise, you may lie about who you are if you wish. If you want to use your abilities, PM Rayelek. DO NOT post it in the thread. - The game is split into two phases, Day and Night. The game begins during the day, and all players (Mafia and Townie alike) post in the thread, deciding who to kill off. Lynching is the only way for the Townies to kill the Mafia, so be sure to examine voting patterns of your fellow players. I might also provide clues in the death write ups, but over-reliance on those is ill-advised as some may be traps. Day phases will last 48 hours unless otherwise noted. Night phases will last 24 hours but may end earlier if all night activities are concluded. - All voting and discussion is to occur within the thread. Town players may discuss who they think is Mafia, and Mafia members should be trying to bluff/convince/blend in, and generally try not to get voted for. To vote, post Vote: Username (MUST BE IN BOLD AND RED!). You can also change your vote, by typing Change Vote: Username (AGAIN BOLDED AND IN RED!). You can also change your vote to nobody by typing Change Vote: No Vote (IN BOLD AND RED!). You can also choose to vote for No Lynching by using Vote: No Lynch (yeah... BOLDED AND IN RED!), meaning you actively vote to not lynch anyone during that day phase rather than passively not voting at all. You must post in the thread for your vote to be counted. You do not have to vote if you do not wish to. - A Day Phase is over when the 48 hours runs out, unless otherwise noted. The player with A Majority of the votes will be lynched. - Night falls after somebody is executed or a no lynch is achieved. During this time, the Mafia can discuss who they want to kill next (using their official Discord server). Abilities are also used during this time. To use an ability, PM the mod (Rayelek), and I will PM you the outcome of the ability if you are to receive one before the following day phase. If it is something serious, like somebody getting killed, we will update it in the thread. If possible though, try to PM us what you want to do as soon after night falls as possible to keep things moving along at a quick pace. - A new Day phase will begin once the Night write up has been posted, and the cycle repeats itself. The Town players win if all Mafia members are dead, and vice versa. Remember, this is a team effort, so if you think sacrificing someone may help your cause, go ahead. -Remember, some roles such as investigators and protectors are more valuable to the town – so try to keep them alive! RULES: - I know it’s the Dog Pound, but try not to postwhore in the thread anyway. Feel free to trash talk, accuse, call out other players if you want, but if you’re going to vote, at least state some kind of reason as to why you’re doing so. - Though I can’t force you to post, I’d love to see active participation. I would advise everyone try to check in with this game at least once a day. Things move fast and you can fall behind pretty easily. - Once you are dead, you stay dead, and may not participate until the game is over. This includes notes found on your corpse, cryptic messages from the dead, etc, etc. You may also not advise the remaining players on what to do – besides, to prevent cheating, I will not provide the dead with any additional information than they would get if they were still alive. Of course, I’m willing to listen to your theories as to what’s going on. Likewise, I'd appreciate if those not taking part try not help those playing, though general comments on how things are going would be welcomed in the Sign Up Thread. - Unless your role PM specifically states otherwise, all players may not discuss game plan, your role, or alignment outside the thread. Of course, I can’t enforce this, but I believe secretly revealing information amongst each other would spoil the game, so try not to do it. - Players are not allowed to edit their posts in this thread at all, as it allows for those who make mistakes to remove all of the evidence without any effort. Since I can't enforce this, I strongly encourage all players to scrutinize any posts they notice that have been edited. -Players are not allowed to cut and paste anything straight from the Role PM except the Role title. No cutting and pasting from the body of the PM. You can paraphrase what your Role PM says but that is all. -Please play your role/alignment and play to win. I will be strict about this, so please don't make me enforce it. -Not everything is as it seems. If something unexpected happens, feel free to question it to me in private, and if I can, I'll answer. I reserve the right to mod kill if we find out that any of these rules have been broken. Please remember that you are not the only one playing this game, so don't ruin it for everyone else! The mod for this game is Rayelek. All PMs regarding abilities, questions or anything else should be sent to him. If you fail to communicate your information then I will go on what I have. You have be warned! Let us all keep in mind that this is a game and should be an enjoyable experience. Game Specific Rules *A graveyard discord will be available for those who have died. However dead players must wait 1 phase to be invited in case they are resurrected. *Some characters and creatures will be tougher to kill. Those players can functionally be assumed to be protected once each night. When a kill is said to bypass protection, that means it by passes 1 instance of protection. If a character that is tougher to kill is also protected, it may still survive a kill that bypasses protection. If a character is targeted by more than 1 kill in the same night, a protection will only protect against 1 kill. So stacking protections may be wise for particularly valuable members of the town. (EXAMPLE 1: a player is protected twice, and targeted by a kill that bypasses protection. The player lives...EXAMPLE 2: a player is tougher to kill, and targeted by 2 killers in a night. The player will die.)

Ellin's Grove was a quiet town, occasionally a stop for travelers on the way into the Greystone Mountains, or the Eldaliering Forest. But when the land's Adventurer's Guild decided to place an outpost in the town, things changed. With the powerful adventurers came evildoers seeking power, monsters seeking a challenge, and powerful magical beasts with agendas of their own. On this night, a man stands in the tavern, telling jokes, spinning tales, and entertaining the townsfolk. The bartender eyes the crowd, as the barmaid serves the food and drink. ============================= A man staggers across the town's square, a bottle in his hand. None pay him any mind. ============================ In a mountain cave, a mind wanders. "Death and destruction are coming...I will have my revenge on those 'adventurers' and that whole vile town." ============================ Deep in the forest, a monstrous creature snarls as it fades to sleep. Soon everything it wanted would be his. ============================ In a dark back room of the tavern, a small group meets. Their conversation is in hushed tones, and there is no drink in front of them. Suddenly light shines into the dimly lit room as a door to the main hall opens. A man pokes his head in. "Excuse me, is someone in here? A dark blast eminates from the table, from who it isn't clear. It strikes the unfortunate man in the chest, and he falls to the ground. A trap door is opened beneath the table and the room rapidly empties. Rayelek is dead. He was Mac Donald, Ellin's Grove Aligned Farmer.

Ok last call for sign ups. I'm going to start randoming and sending out roles in about 4 hours. Would also accept a co-mod to do some vote counting if anyone is interested.

Tournament tracker is pretty cool. It would be neat if the auto booker would make tournament matches, or take tournaments into account.

I'll give it until Friday for more sign ups, but a few more would be splendid. Going once, going twice...

I usually only play with face/heel off if lots of stable wars are involved, but I find it hard to book when there are no allegiances, even if those are as simple as face/heel. I think a mod has to change your thread title, editing the topic in the first post doesn't work as far as I know.

<p>Starting to figure out TCW (maybe). Just had my second B+ match (in April of 2016) (RDJ & the New Wave vs Wolf Hawkins & the Canadian Animals). I'm hoping to continue to push forward and that I actually learned something and not just got lucky. Aaron Andrews left, but in 21 days, Eric Eisen will arrive from SWF. Not really a TCW skill guy, but the heel gimmick writes itself. I'll probably wait to have him show up on screen until right after Total Mayhem, not much for him to do in the 2 weeks in between.</p><p> </p><p> Total Mayhem Card (subject to change)</p><p> Rocky Golden © vs. Wolf Hawkins vs. Troy Tornado -TCW World Title</p><p> The New Wave © vs. The Canadian Animals vs. Technical Excellence (Ernest Youngman & Greg Gauge) - TCW Tag Titles </p><p> Bryan Vessey vs. Joshua Taylor</p><p> Ricky Dale Johnson & ??? vs. Generation X (Jay Chord & Hollywood Bret Starr)</p><p> Benny Benson vs. Chance Fortune w/ Adrian Garcia</p><p> Danny Fonzarelli vs. Joel Bryant</p><p> More matches to be announced...</p>

About halfway there, anyone else?

If someone has a game planned, they are welcome to co opt my sign up thread, but if not, I have a game ready. Target number of players is 20, 25 would be great. Definitely a high power game, some roles will seem VERY powerful, but there are those on both sides. Rules Note: because some roles can resurrect recently dead players, graveyard invites won't be sent until 1 phase has passed, unless there are no resurrections available. 1. Destiny 2. BHK1978 3.

Lots of VT, Sam, Dean & Cas, maybe Bobby for town PR, not sure how much of a United force there could be a scum group though. I only got through the first 5/6 seasons, whichever was the first one with angels.

#10 - 82 - Steven Parker d. Mobstar to retain the ECZ North American title - Night of Champions, June 2020 Night of Champions is my Wrestlemania, and usually where the winner of the Rip Chord Invitational in February cashes in their title shot. In this case, the big leagues were coming after my champion, Mobstar, so Parker cashed in 2 months early, winning the title. Mobstar signed a written deal with me, so they had their rematch at Night of Champions, with the new champion retaining. #9 - 82 - El Mitico Jr d. KC Glenn - Night of Champions, June 2021 I spent so much money on KC Glenn (more than my next 2 highest contracts combined) and I'm trying to speed him up the ladder without angering half my mid/upper midcard, since he started with almost no US Overness when I got him. 6 months after this, he's only at 36, so I'm sure he'll be bringing the house down for quite some time. El Mitico left me for USPW a few months after this, where he is a midcarder and having excellent matches. #8 - 84 - Bunrakuken Torii d. Nate DeMarcus - Uncensored!, July 2021 This was literally a throwaway midcard match. By virtue of his tag team with Logan Wolfsbaine, who was the star of the team, Nate DeMarcus got decently over, and he's really athletic, but I have to believe that fortunate card placement and "Machine Gun" Torii carried this match. #7 - 84 - Bunrakuken Torii, Steven Parker & Lenny Brown d. Mobstar, El Mitico Jr & Nate DeMarcus - Breakdown, May 2021 With Bunrakuken Torii's showdown with champion Mobstar looming on the horizon, he teamed with a few of Mobstar's former biggest rivals to take on the champ and some rising stars. While "Machine Gun" got a big win in pinning the champ, he didn't manage to take the belt away a month later. #6 - 84 - Mobstar d. Steven Parker, Lenny Brown & Aldous Blackfriar to win the ECZ North American title - No Escape, December 2020 2 months earlier, Scythe won his 2nd North American title, ushering in the reign of his stable, The Black Night, also featuring Blackfriar, and tag team The Old Gods (Prometheus and a regen I named Kirin). Unfortunately, Scythe suffered a Major Concussion and vacated the title on the next show. After some qualifiers to get into the match, these 4 men battled to become the next champion, with Mobstar picking up the win and beginning his record 3rd reign. #5 - 84 - Mobstar d. El Mitico Jr & Hector Kazmaier - Elite Wrestling Monthly!, December 2020 This was a champion's showcase to end the year, with all 3 singles champions in one match. Mobstar, the newly crowned North American champion, defeated Pennsylvania champion El Mitico and Hardcore champion Kazmaier in an unexpectedly good match. #4 - 86 - Aldous Blackfriar d. Lenny Brown - Elite Wrestling Monthly!, February 2021 #3 - 86 - Bunrakuken Torii & Koshiro Ino d. Mobstar & Gram Gorman - Elite Wrestling Monthly!, February 2021 Grouping these 2 together as they were on the same show, and co-main event and main event, respectively. First, Blackfriar got revenge on the man who eliminated him from the Rip Chord Invitational, even though he wasn't the man pinned (Brown would lose to Torii in the finals). Then Bunrakuken Torii, the man with the title shot in his pocket, teamed with PGHW loaner Ino to face the then-reigning Sam Keith Classic champions in the scrappy pairing of Mobstar and Gorman. Torii won, the first step towards his eventual Night of Champions title shot. #2 - 87 - Mobstar d. El Mitico Jr to retain the ECZ North American title - Danger And Violence, March 2021 Looking back, I'm even more sad that El Mitico left me 4 months ago as I see him all over this list. He was never going to win here as Torii vs. Mobstar was clearly being built for Night of Champions, but he gave the champ a few scares, and they tore the roof off of the building. #1 - 87 - Steven Parker, Jimmy Prudence & Lenny Browan d. Nate DeMarcus, Bunrakuken Torii & El Mitico Jr - Sam Keith Classic XI, August 2021 The main event of the Sam Keith Classic was a barnstormer, as a preview for Sole Survivor the following month where these 6 men met again with the North American title on the line. That night, Steven Parker would win his 2nd title, becoming only the 3rd man with multiple title reigns (Mobstar (3) & Scythe (2)). This game started in Jan 2016 with the default data, and is now in December 2021. The company is Cult with 56 popularity throughout the States and slowly climbing, running 2 shows per month, a big show on Week 2 Saturdays, and then Elite Wrestling Monthly on Week 4 Saturdays.

98% sure its Outlaw.

I had an old PSW game where he teamed with Brimstone as Hellfire (Hellfire & Brimstone, haha), that could work. I like Scourge, that someone else suggested, or when I looked at it, my brain threw out Azrael but I think theres someone with that name in the data already.

I've got one 98% ready to go as well, just need to finish 1 role PM and the n0 write up. Figured I'd give it a few days for a sign up thread to pop up before I took charge and claimed it. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

That sounded like a fun game, I didn't sign up because I was at work, was gonna do it when I got home and then zonked out. Any word on the next game over here?

Holey moley a lot happened while I was asleep. Looks like it was a fun game. Would have liked to play a little more, but oh well. Maybe next game. Speaking of which, where's the next game? If it gets going quick, I have time for 1 more before I take a break to move.

In my head canon, it was always Christian Faith who was undefeated at Supreme Challenge. I think that may have been from a dynasty game. How come you have the tag belts as the main event at SC21?

I am working on getting to sleep, so I probably won't catch the write up until the morning. The baby has begun waking up at 3/4am, and with me getting off work at 12:30ish, I haven't slept well in a few weeks so fingers crossed

I would be shocked if we get Day Skip. Even if both Derek and Destiny are scum, it's a ballsy play to out both of them with that vote. Of course, if we got Day Skip, it'll be a situation where all 3 council members are saying "I voted Majority, the other 2 are scum".

End of my work break, we can continue this discussion either might phase or next phase depending on rules.
