This thread is for Role Madness Mafia 5, which will be Shakespeare-themed! So foul and fair a day I have not seen!

Rest of this post will be modified to reflect the sign-up list and game rules. I haven't prepared a set of rules yet for a Role Madness game, and want to take some time to do so.

In the meantime, SIGN-UPS ARE OPEN! If you are interested, please /in and also list up to three Shakespeare plays from which you would enjoy playing a role. Source material from the canon has not yet been selected, and your preferences may influence those decisions!

The game will have a maximum of 13 players. The level of bastardry in the setup has NOT yet been determined, but once the setup is finalized I will be publicly disclosing my best estimation of how bastardly (or not) the setup will be.

I am also seeking one or two back-up mods with whom to collaborate on preparing the setup.

SIGN-UP LIST:
1. Robz888
2. ashersky
3. Galzria
4. Cuzz
5. Eevee
6. Glooble
7. Grujah
8. Dsell
9. Insomniac
10. Jimmmmm

/Offended that I wasn't auto innnned.

Cuzz · « **Reply #3 on:** October 19, 2012, 09:16:20 am »

/ininin. Tempest, Henry V, Macbeth, Othello would be great of the top of my head. Oops that's more than 3.

Eevee · « **Reply #4 on:** October 19, 2012, 09:17:24 am »

/innest of them all

Captain_Frisk · « **Reply #5 on:** October 19, 2012, 09:19:50 am »

Oh - I've only read Henvy V, Macbeth and Romeo & Juliet I think. Maybe another one.

Grujah · « **Reply #6 on:** October 19, 2012, 09:20:06 am »

Hamlet, MacBeth and Romeo and Juliet are the only one that I've read, so those.

I also know some basics of Shakespeare coding language, if that helps. Still not sure if /in, depends on level of bastardy, which I usually do not like, but it is Volt's game and those can't fail.

Galzria · « **Reply #7 on:** October 19, 2012, 09:21:22 am »

I'm down with any material, from any play, or any Sonnet.

Grujah · « **Reply #8 on:** October 19, 2012, 09:21:27 am »

Also, I would be disappointed if dead people do not come back as ghosts. Maybe even die pre-game!

Cuzz · « **Reply #9 on:** October 19, 2012, 09:29:37 am »

Wasn't thinking about which plays would yield best roles. Definitely have to suggest Midsummer as my top choice now.

Archetype · « **Reply #10 on:** October 19, 2012, 09:30:13 am »

To /in or not to /in…

ashersky · « **Reply #11 on:** October 19, 2012, 09:58:16 am »

Confirming now.

Othello, Richard III, Lear would all make good mafia games. But really, Much Ado is the only way to go. Dibs on Benedick.

Eevee · « **Reply #12 on:** October 19, 2012, 10:07:34 am »

Could you maybe announce what's this based on asap, so people could read the material if they so desire?

Once material is selected, it will be announced and there will be time before the game starts for folks to do that reading, if they so desire. It will not be required.

Surely The Scottish Play is the best setting for this, murder and intrigue, Witches, Danes, the lot!

jotheonah · « **Reply #15 on:** October 19, 2012, 10:55:57 am »

/in to back-up mod! Also, may I humbly suggest A Comedy of Errors. Twinclaims, twinclaims everywhere.

Robz888 · « **Reply #16 on:** October 19, 2012, 11:35:29 am »

Thank you for the auto-in.

shraeye · « **Reply #17 on:** October 19, 2012, 11:54:38 am »

Insomniac · « **Reply #18 on:** October 19, 2012, 11:55:35 am »

Depending on when this starts /out.

Wrong. You can /out of a lot of things, but a Voltgloss moderated Rolemadness game flavored by Shakespeare? No. Just no. You can't miss it. Out of the question. You're /in.

I want to back-up mod here. You know we have unused material from RMM3...

eHalcyon · « **Reply #21 on:** October 19, 2012, 03:33:22 pm »

Also, I think I've posted it here before, but:

I will /in, but you may come to rue
the theme you have conferred upon this game
You'll find it is a blessing and a curse
(when possible I'll use iambic verse)

Glooble · « **Reply #23 on:** October 19, 2012, 04:15:24 pm »

I think Lear would be grand. But also I guess Midsummer and Romeo and Juliet?

Captain_Frisk · « **Reply #24 on:** October 19, 2012, 04:19:59 pm »

Oh, I've read Lear.
