That is correct. The doctor can not protect himself and can't protect the same person on consecutive nights.Remus West wrote:Correct me if I am wrong, but the doctor can NOT protect himself. So if he comes out in the open the village loses his protection as he will be eaten.

Uhg. I was kinda hoping to be a zombie but the idea of eating you...no thanks, I know where you've been.Chaosraven wrote:I'll have to be IN
because the zombies need someone to eat the first chance they get

Clarification: will the Dr kill a zombie attacking the person he's protecting, or will his medicine just make the protected unappetizing to the zombies?Ralph-Wiggum wrote:Ok, here's the final revision (I hope!):
If a sibling is killed by a zombie, one random zombie will die that night as will the other sibling.
The doctor has the power to protect someone each night, but will not kill a zombie if attacked.
Also, the sibling rule will still leave us with an odd # of deaths in a day (1 zombie, 1 sibling, 1 lynching). Which is fine, but have a tie breaker contingency in mind...or kill both of 'em.

If a sibling is eaten then they both die but take a zombie with them. You know all of this effort to avoid tie votes is wasted by the fact that the doctor can protect someone stopping a night death.

Just create a contingency for a tie vote...
I.E. both are killed if the vote doesn't change within a time frame,
or the first/last of the tied will be the victim, or there is no lynch
(there is that option sometimes in these games)

Why didn't someone mention that earlier????
edit: I'll go with ChaosRaven's idea - if there is a tie, I'll set a time limit for votes to change. If there is still a tie after that time limit, both will die.

No it won't. If a zombie attacks one sibling, both siblings die (as does one zombie). Then the lynching the next day is normal.Bakhtosh wrote: Also, the sibling rule will still leave us with an odd # of deaths in a day (1 zombie, 1 sibling, 1 lynching).

Here is the list of rules and roles.
1). There are 15 players - 3 zombies, 1 psychic, 1 doctor, and 1 pair of siblings. Every player's role will be choosen randomly.
2). Like the other games, each night the zombies go looking for braaaiiinsss and kill one player.
3). Each night, the psychic can concentrate on one player and determine their actual role (if they are a doctor or a sibling, they will find that out too).
The psychic is no mere normal telepath, however. Due to exposure to nuclear waste at a young age, he has the ability to transfer his powers to another. If he so desires the psychic can give his abilities to another. The recipient then has the nightly ability to have visions and the psychic loses that ability. The new psychic, however, can not transfer his powers onward.
That transfer must be done at night instead of having a vision. If the psychic is attacked the same night he tries to transfer his powers, the transfer will not be completed.
4). Each night, the doctor can visit someone's house. Due to the nature of how the zombie virus infects its host (it takes time for the virus to spread), if the doctor manages to visit a player's house on the same night that the zombies attack that player, the attacked player will survive the zombie attack without dying. The doctor, however, can not visit the same person's house twice in a row - too much of the antidote in a short amount of time is fatal to the victim.
5). There is one pair of siblings. Because they know each other so intimately (not in that way, you sickos) and live together, they are sure right from the start that their brother/sister is not a zombie.
If the zombies attack one of the siblings at night, both siblings will be killed but one zombie will also die (chosen randomly). If only one sibling is left (i.e. the other has been lynched) and is attacked, that player dies and doesn't kill a zombie in return.
If the doctor protects a sibling and that exact sibling is also attacked by the zombie, no players die that night (siblings or zombies). If, however, the doctor protects one sibling and the other sibling is attacked, only the attacked sibling dies and all the zombies live.
If you want to change your vote during the day, please do not edit your original vote. Instead, just create a new post with the new vote.

Since I'm lazy and need to get the game started, I'm just copying and pasting the introduction I wrote for the last game. 
The day at Lake Woebegone started just like any other. The sun was bright and the birds were chirping. At 9 o'clock sharp every member of the isolated town went to work at The Facility. The Facility, officially known in government circles as DARPA Lab 38c, was the reason for the town's existence.
Ostensibly, the lab worked with deadly pathogens such as anthrax and small pox and the clap. But the government had another role for the lab. For the last 4 years, the members of DARPA Lab 38c were trying to create a new virus - a virus that would be very useful for the armed forces.
The goal was to create an injection that would hone the senses and physical abilities of our soldiers. But that goal had not yet been reached. While the current version of the virus, code named the ORLY virus, did increase strength in animal test subjects (chimps and manatees), it also caused irratic behavior. The test animals grew too hostile - if caged with another animal, infected chimps tore off the head of the other creature and munched on the brains.
Oddly enough, however, the aggressive behavior was only nocturnal. Once the sun had risen, the infected animals would go back to their normal behavior. But each night, the violent urges again swelled. The only way to "cure" the animal if infected for long enough was through decapitation.
The lab had developed, however, an innoculation to the virus. But that innoculation only worked if injected within an hour or two of the contracting the disease and it had some terrible side-effects. Unfortunately, too much of the innoculation was itself fatal.
But this morning, things were going well. Everyone seemed happy since it was a Friday which meant casual attire and free bagels. Nothing cures the morning blues like some lox and cream cheese. The day passed uneventfully.
Until 3:47 PM. The lab's alarms sounded - somehow the virus had gotten loose into the lab's self contained ventilation sytem. Everyone panicked. Proper procedure dictates that each lab worker quarantine himself until he are certain that the virus has not infected him. Nobody followed proper procedure.
Every lab worker ran for the exits like mad, not even stopping to take the remaining bagels with them. The last worker squeezed out the exit right just as the blast doors completed it's automatic shutting procedure. Knowing that they had all completely disregarded their training in the panic, the citizens didn't know what to do. So, after standing around for a couple of minutes, they all decided to go home with a plan to meet back tomorrow morning.
Hopefully no one had been infected. All they could do was wait until night to see......
At 9 the next morning, all the villagers gathered in front of the lab. But one person was missing. Where was Captain Caveman? After a small debate, the group decided to march to CC's house to discover why he handn't shown up. What they found was horrifying - CC's house was covered in posters of horses with erect members. And by CC's bed was a Real Horse Doll. Who knew?
But then they made another discovery - a blood trail leading to the bathroom. In the blood trail, 3 distinct sets of footprints could be made out. When they opened the bathroom door, the witnessed an apalling scene. Captain Caveman's was sitting on the john, completely headless. Bits of brain was splattered all over the room. And the room stunk - but that was due to the unflushed logs in the toilet.
But the scene made one thing clear, 3 people had been infected by the virus. But who? Everyone looked normal. The town knew they had to do something. Someone needed to be decapitated - now they just had to choose who that would be.........
Let the voting begin. The day will not end until someone has recieved a majority of the votes and been decapitated. 8 votes are needed for a majority.

Eh, go ahead and throw a vote out there. It gives us some info to note who jumps on a bandwagon. For instance in the last zombie game we got lucky and offed Orinoco the first try and he was a zombie. Neither of the other zombies joined that wagon.Arcanis wrote:just want to say i'm here but am not casting a vote yet. Since we have nothing but a guess at the moment i'll wait and eleminate the last one in.

You have to admit...it would be hilarious if ChaosRaven was actually a zombie this time.
I'm finally back in a game where I can PM!!!
And I don't have anyone to talk to.
I'm all alone in this great big world...scared and so very, very sad...

Thoughts: Certain people seem to always get eaten by the zombies anyway. I would let those people live, and after a few rounds if they aren't dead we might discuss that further.
However, now that I have posted that thought it is likely that the zombies will refrain from killing said people in a hope that we will kill them ourselves. Thus I clearly cannot choose the wine in front of you.
I'll throw in a real vote later today.
