You and 11 other people find yourselves trapped in a strange, oppressive facility. A deranged, broken robot forces you to play the "Nonary+ Game", making you undergo hellish Trials in order to try and escape. All the while a psychotic psychic kills people off one by one, forcing you to lynch your fellow captives in a desperate attempt to stop them...
Hello and welcome to Black Fable 3! This is a Mafia game with Nonary Game theming. If you are interested in signing up, please read over the information below, fill out the survey and post expressing your interest.
MafiaThe core gameplay of N+G is Mafia. If you're unfamiliar, it's a discussion-based game where players talk it out to try and vote off the killers hiding among them. The additional elements in N+G are only RP-oriented, so if you're a fan of Mafia hopefully this game will be to your liking.
Black FableBlack Fable is a loose series of Mafia-based forum games. There's no real connection to previous BF games here, so if you're unfamiliar you don't need to worry about this. If you've played BF1, BF3 should be similar gameplay-wise. (It has little in common with BF2 however.)
Nonary GameBF3 started out as a Nonary Game, but the end result is closer to a Black Fable game so it's titled as such. I want to be upfront that the NG elements of this game are more for theming than anything else, so please don't sign up expecting puzzle rooms or other series staples. That said, fans of the NG RPs might still enjoy this game. For anyone unfamiliar with the Zero Escape series (where Nonary Games originate), you'll be able to play BF3 comfortably without needing additional knowledge. Just smile and nod whenever "the Morphogenetic Field" gets thrown about.
This GameIn joining N+G, after receiving your role you will create your own character to play as. There will be moments of free, undirected roleplaying where you simply hang out with the other characters. There isn't much direction during free-RP sections, but they're intended to be quite short so hopefully nothing with stagnate. It's probably best to hold off on character creation until after you've seen your role; however you should also aim to make it so no-one can guess your role just from what kind of character you've chosen to play as.
Characters will be split among
three factions. Some roles have abilities, while others are 'vanilla' and exert their influence solely during discussion phases. Rules and mechanics will be made clear once appropriate during the game, but I don't mind explaining anything now if it's important to know before signing up. Roughly speaking, the game alternates between "day" and "night" phases. During "day" phases players discuss among themselves until they decide, by majority, who to vote for. That person is then executed. During "night" phases, players with abilities use them, and one character will be chosen by the killers to be murdered. These two phases alternate until one faction's victory condition is reached.
Other Details- The nature of the game is that characters die often, and early. Don't sign up expecting to survive for any period of time, and don't complain if you're killed: it's simply part of the game, and isn't personal. The game is also intended to be on the shorter side. Both of these should be considered when creating characters.
- All players will get a Quicktopic containing details of their role. Actions are posted here, as are results and other information. Make sure to check during the "night" phase. Additionally some players will also get QTs with other players to communicate privately with. I will use Discord (if applicable) as well, which is ideal for quick, private questions and the like.
- Basic game rules apply here. Don't deliberately make your team lose, don't share private information if you're not allowed to, don't post screenshots of private information e.t.c.
- Please be active during "day" discussion phases at the very least. Activity during "night" RP phases is encouraged, but optional. You must at least be active enough to tell me your action for the "night" however.
- Each phase is expected to last only a few days. I will likely cut things short if it seems appropriate to. Ideally a full day-night cycle would last 5 days at most, and on average I expect there to be 4 of these day-night cycles.
- The title used to be stylised as Nonary⁺ Game (that's a superscript + if you can't see it). Unfortunately the ⁺ character appears unsupported on some devices so I'll use + instead.
