The rumors were abounding everywhere...children had found a way to open doors in the door lab! Most of them had been caught, but supposedly a few were still lurking around.

What could the University do to ensure everyone's safety?

In the meantime, the Scare Games have begun! Who would win the night's prize, a Randall Boggs's Can o' Sweat!? A popular souvenir when Randall first joined Monsters, Inc., no one really remembers what it does anymore...only the really sneaky kids ever bought it.

It was a great competition, and the results were close! The winner of the first Scare a Game is...

Roar Omega Roar!

I wonder what they'll use that prize for...or if it still works?

Another beautiful dawn broke over the green campus of Monsters University. Students were scurrying to class or breakfast, the dew still twinkling on the grass. And then...

"HUMAN CHILDREN!!!!!!" a seventeen-legged purple monsters ran screaming across the quad, waving his arms over his head. "HUMAN CHILDREN ARE ON THE CAMPUS!!!!"

It was true. One of the doors in the Door Lab had swung open and a number of kids had come through. Luckily, the Child Detection Agency had been able to round up most of them...but not all.

Dean Hardscrabble knew there was only one thing to do. She needed professionals to help. She called her old friends at Monsters, Inc. and asked them to come right away.

With the help of Mike Wazowski (EFHW) and James P. Sullivan (chairs), could the University be made safe?

yuma · « **Reply #82 on:** May 04, 2014, 06:45:26 pm »

So until we know what is what I would suggest that no claiming of anything, including houses...

EFHW and chairs can have the last say on that, but until we know if claiming it would be bad or good let's stay away from it for now.

Axxle · « **Reply #83 on:** May 04, 2014, 06:47:26 pm »

I may or may not need to claim a house...

yuma · « **Reply #84 on:** May 04, 2014, 06:47:39 pm »

and by houses I mean Greek Frat/Sor...

Nice to have EFHW as town as she is the expert on having these sort of houses. She modded Harry Potter mafia where we had it as well.... and was obviously what ash was alluding to when he said he was tributing her game.

for some reason when you said "house" it made me think of Monopoly. Monopoly has houses yes?

Has anyone ever tried to do Monopoly Mafia? Isn't the whole reason we have forum mafia because someone started a thread about how horrible Monopoly is...? Monopoly is horrible, but Monopoly Mafia sounds kinda fun...

AndrewisFTTW · « **Reply #87 on:** May 04, 2014, 06:53:44 pm »

I got Nintendo Monopoly recently. It kinda rocks.

We have ICs I guess. Cool.

vote mail-mi because.... you know...

yuma · « **Reply #88 on:** May 04, 2014, 06:58:30 pm »

yeah, two ICs rock... but it makes me very wary.... I am thinking mafia probably has pretty good powers or town has kinda weak powers. I don't want to speculate too much on the town side, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if mafia is stacked

Archetype · « **Reply #89 on:** May 04, 2014, 07:06:21 pm »

Well this is cool!

Vote: yuma Why shouldn't we claim houses? If scum are a member of our sororities/fraternities, they already know whose a part of them. And if they are a part of two, they can POE the players in the other one.

Why are you voting me for it? What makes it worthy of a vote?

I don't know if we should or shouldn't. I am saying we shouldn't until we think about the positives or the negatives associated with it. I can't remember what the outcome was from the last game, EFHW will probably remember best.

AndrewisFTTW · « **Reply #91 on:** May 04, 2014, 07:13:13 pm »

Well someone has an item. Does it really matter if we find out who that is? Not at this point at least.

Hmmmm. Each player rolls each night and moves around on a doc sheet board. If you land on a property and its already owned by someone not of your faction, you must pay rent to that player. If its unowned, you can choose to buy it. If you run go bankrupt, you are killed.

Mafia's kill would probably decrease/take other people's money and have some factional power that would give them a free pass when they land on a Townie's property.

Each color would be a specific power (Doctor A, B, C)To use powers you'd have to invest some money into that property (buy houses). But you'd need a Monopoly first...so you could probably somehow trade properties.

It's probably possible to do.

Town won because of it.

It's worthy of a vote because its RVS.

yuma · « **Reply #94 on:** May 04, 2014, 08:02:42 pm »

RVS isn't a good enough reason to vote someone when you actually imply a reason. If you have a reason, it isn't RVS... but we have had this discussion before.

What do you mean town won because of it? I don't remember that.

Eh, I guess "because of it" is a little strong. Everyone claimed D1 and Town won the game.

What do you think are the disadvantages of house claiming?

yuma · « **Reply #96 on:** May 04, 2014, 08:40:48 pm »

I don't know. Legion potentially. What are the benefits of doing so? Again, I am not saying we shouldn't. I am saying we shouldn't w/o a good reason.

EFHW · « **Reply #97 on:** May 04, 2014, 09:13:32 pm »

Town won HP b/c of good scum-hunting and then investigation. I don't recall the houses being a factor in that. chairs and I are not in a Greek house, btw, so we don't know what kind of discussions are happening there. In HP there were 4 houses, 3 scum, and 2 factions. The 3 scum by chance ended up in different houses (town didn't know that, of course), so they knew the composition of each house from the beginning, and claiming meant everyone had that information. In HP the houses had voting powers, so there was potentially more pressure on the scum in each house, and opportunity for scum-hunting through the house voting discussions.

Here we have 3 houses, an unknown # of factions and unknown #'s of members in each faction. It's not clear if town wants to win the challenges or not, and the knowledge is pretty specialized, so it shouldn't be hard for scum to blend in.

ashersky: will flips contain the individual's frat/sorority?

It's not clear from the OP how the prizes work -- if one individual gets the prize, or if the house votes on a target for some prize action. The winning house from the first challenge knows how it works, though. They might even know what the prize did!

I think that knowledge is enough for me to advocate house claiming. Let's hear from more people first, and then if it looks like a go, I don't think we need any special order or system.

Witherweaver · « **Reply #98 on:** May 04, 2014, 10:08:59 pm »

What would claiming the houses do for us? I can't think of a good reason not to, but there doesn't seem a point to unless there is a benefit.
