"Lloyd's What? Wait, that's not Lloyd... wait, that's... oh god"

ToaKapura1234 · August 7, 2014

Not really. You've seen spam once, you've seen it all.

Chro · August 7, 2014

Oh, that's not what I meant; I was referring to the fact that the title prominently featured "Lloyd"

Not all spam is created equal.

For example, Pupwa speak is of a far different variety than the "buy my sandwich" topics.

I think it was a Ninjago thing. Emphasis on "think."

Anyway, Mafia, anyone? : P

Yes I know

But Lloyd

and yes that's Mafia related

**Edelgard** · August 7, 2014

I am wondering what the heck Nightmare was supposed to be about.

Chro · August 7, 2014

Something Lovecraftian I guess

Dapper-Sama · August 7, 2014

I thought it was a Mafia game as viewed by a normal person...

......I sold Sandwiches as a part time job once.

BUY EM.

Case in point

ToaKapura1234 · August 8, 2014

So why does Sumiki no longer close topics by killing the survivors?

ShadowVezon · August 8, 2014

Probably because Sumiki isn't closing the topics anymore, Windrider is.

We enjoy living.

Dapper-Sama · August 8, 2014

It's a "kid friendly website".

Underscore · August 8, 2014

Suuuuuuure it is

ToaKapura1234 · August 8, 2014

But Sumiki's apocalypses were usually far less graphic than the actual game

Dapper-Sama · August 8, 2014

It just suddenly dawned on me that my games are much darker than others. D'ya fellas think there's enough comic relief?

**Edelgard** · August 8, 2014

Some games are darker and some are lighter. I wasn't under the impression that your game was darker than XV or X.

Dapper-Sama · August 8, 2014

I wasn't around for X. XV was pretty gnarly, too.

MT Zehvor · August 8, 2014

I think there's a distinction between dark and serious that should probably be made here. A dark game is one that actively tries to be foreboding and imposing (such as Lloyd's game, where the few scenes he did write were intended to impress a sense of dread upon the player), whereas a serious one is simply a game that doesn't act silly. From the few scenes of XVI that we've had so far, I'd say it's a game that takes itself seriously, but it isn't what I'd call dark, or at least no more dark than the usual Mafia game.

Just for distinction's sake, you can have a serious game without being dark, and sometimes a dark game without being serious (though it's hard to give the impression that things are really screwed up when you're telling jokes frequently).

So to answer the question, no, I don't think your games are too dark. If the question is altered to: "Do I think your games are too serious," again, no. Just write with whatever atmosphere you think suits the game best, provided you think you can do it well.

can confirm

in 2FA someone's head exploded into kool-aid if I remember correctly. and someone didn't die when lynched so i just stuffed them with the dead bodies

good times

Dapper-Sama · August 8, 2014

A'ight. It's been proven that I can't really do BZP-appropriate comedy to save my life, so seriousness it is!

Chro · August 8, 2014

I'd definitely love to try hosting a very dark game or a fully humorous game at some point... but I'm not a very good writer so I doubt I'd manage to effectively keep the tone consistent

Dapper-Sama · August 8, 2014

Hey, mood whiplash can be a good thing.

**Portalfig** · August 9, 2014

woah guys this is really cool. We have a general topic now =O

Anyways I am super sad that Lloyd's game didn't finish, and that I missed signups for all the games. D=

As far as tone goes, I was kinda ridiculous with II(actively trying to make sure nobody but Zakaro actually dies was hard) but pretty dang serious and a little dark with VIII. X was seriousness through and through.

Also now I want to host a game that entire revovles around the mood of the game. Like, the mafia kill somebody if it is a serious scene, but they do something else if it is a funny scene. Each round would be randomly decided for whether it would be funny or srs.

Uuhgr guys I really don't have time to host all these games I have ideas for. Stop giving me ideas lol

Daytime scenes are joking but nighttime is dark and srs

Or backwards

The mafia is a clown organization and just pranks people. Then the people leave because they got shamed.

THEN DAYTIME KILL.

Gamzee Makara for Mafia boss

A game like that would be perfect for the end of the Third Age

When the game ends and the topic is locked it initiates a Gigapause

Fourth Age begins after Hussie resumes updating

**Portalfig** · August 10, 2014

One does not simply plan the end of an Age.

Makuta Luroka · August 10, 2014

lol Mafia L will have a Gigapause

Maybe it could be the end of third age.

Edited August 10, 2014 by Makuta Luroka

Trijhak · August 10, 2014

Nah, we'd have to endure 10+ months without a Mafia game.

As regular Mafia players, we all know we all die if we don't play at least one mafia game every three weeks.

Chro · August 10, 2014

Truer words ~~were never spoken~~ may have been spoken at some point, but their truth does not invalidate your accuracy

Dapper-Sama · August 13, 2014

The dramatic irony is strong in XVI.

ToaKapura1234 · August 13, 2014

So is the other kind.
