it's finally time to start a new adventure!

a brand new megagame, with a unique structure and storyline never before seen in TI

See here for the basic pitch: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HHe4NUzFSnCsF5EWRmT1L-MhygqYgvPLhwLfuphAnUk/ , but lots of things will remain secret for hopefully obvious reasons. on the megagame server there is a bit more in depth rundown of the mechanics as they are currently laid out

signups here! https://forms.gle/R8oPJRoPP7EnxZjP8

they will be open for a while depending on rate of signups, at least 2 weeks though

To launch a new game, please run the command /game create_game_button, filling in the players and fun game name. This will create a button that you may press to launch the game after confirming the members are correct.

Love a good "option 1"

First

#

Bah I got discorded

rapid cave

#

Very excited for this though. I love the idea of making side quests in this game 😁

rapid cave
#

fixed, thanks

#

Teams required?

#

@verbal fog want to get salty about another megagame ending too early?

rapid cave
lone hill
#

I signed up, and I would like a team, but I'm not picky about the team

rapid cave
#

you're exactly the type of signup that makes these difficult to organise, jazz

verbal fog
#

Small team vassal or player team @frozen raven ?

#

I was leaning vassal but if it's you I'll be happy wherever

frozen raven
thin turret
#

i'm down

#

happy to team up with someone as well

rapid cave
#

i guess team size should have been a q too

#

I would love to be a vassal! @rapid cave

rough isle
#

Let’s get it

forest lion
#

@midnight sierra bc u likely miss these fun things

midnight sierra
#

@rapid cave solo vassal pls

#

I'd like to interact with the players in fun ways

#

Will I get more role-playing opportunity as a vasaal or on a team as a player?

dark spade
#

@rapid cave why must you make this such a hard choice. Both player and vassel sound fun. As an avid DM/ttrpg player/fow gm do you think I'd enjoy player or vassel more 🤔

humble forge
#

Why are multiple people pinging for their desired rules instead of filling out the form?

(Yes I'm a tattletale)

dark spade

Think I'm leaning vassel?

Also it said there are options

@fallow swift @snow badge wanna do this as a team?

#

Injecting roleplaying into TI with no expectation of winning?!? Sounds like a normal game to me

rapid cave

#

High doses of concentrated trolling and role-playing. Count me INNN. Vassals all the way

#

Me to all the players in exchange for whatever I have that they need

Hey now I've only been eliminated in 2/2 megagames so far 🤣

golden dock

#

@rapid cave can I sign up now as a solo and add in teammates later if they want to join in?

atomic bone
#

I’ll just put them on the gauranteed team list, but note that only if they are playing

lavish anchor
#

Oh this sounds interesting. I hope I can do something silly 😄

hexed temple
#

weird fun

sick osprey
#

@rapid cave For the faction selection, "Any!" includes the "Something Weird" option, I assume?

wise bison
#

i signed up !! MEGAGAME is soooo cool

ripe junco
#

Vassal sounds great to be part of it without having to juggle interactions with 25 factions around you. Does it still matter which factions i want to play if i chose Vassal?

rapid cave
#

vassal choice will still take preferences into account

rapid cave
#

oh boy, 73 signups in 12h is rather a lot

numbers are gone from discord usernames nowdays

"Rimsebimse" this would be right?

uncut swallow

I signed up

marble rampart
#

game gonna end up with 1 player team and 23 vasal xD

rapid cave
#

currently 30 either, 21 player only, 25 vassal only

would be funny tho if it was

#

just 1 "player" to send fetch quest around the univers

Assuming you're still thinking ~10 player teams

@rapid cave changed my mind about my teammate answer, i want to force @compact rover to be my teammate!

so @rapid cave as a vassal...can you give out secret objectives made by yourself or pre made? 👀

How many factions total should we expect?

Let me rephrase it then "zombie (nekro) virus variant?"

i won't be taking any suggestions

#

where's the fun in that :p

golden dock
#

So no pre-spacefaring vassal faction that a player can enlighten in the vein of Stellaris?

Really wanted @rough isle to be forced to roleplay a terrestrial slug people, who subsist on leaves and fight using stone tools

cold knoll
#

Any megagame experience required? Very intrigued 😁

rapid cave
#

i have maybe made a mistake

humble locust
#

@rapid cave If I want to sign up for player with several other people guaranteed to be on the team do you want each of us to sign up requesting being on each other's team or one signup for the group?

Signed up with friends - hopefully I'm not too late 🙂 It'd be cool to be a player but vassal looks fun too

"without the stress of playing as part of a big team"

Finally a mega game experience i can get behind

rapid cave
#

thanks! the idea comes from @livid rivet who i have shamelessly yoinked and expanded from

placid valve
#

Interested

#

Have filled the form and open to all

@fallen rain

#

This sounds super dope

gilded hemlock
#

@rapid cave What will the time commitment be like for a player? Compared to like a super fast game of multiple actions a game/constant chatter?

rapid cave
#

it's really hard to tell in advance

#

start of game will be 1 action per day

#

after that depends on the table

gleaming tide
#

@rapid cave when are you planning to start

rapid cave
#

not got a committed date yet, tentatively early june

gilded hemlock
#

If I can wrap up some games soon, I’ll sign up!

idle adder
#

how big are vassel teams / player teams ?

covert widget
#

Looks like vassals are intended to be solo, but can have multiple players on request. No idea how big player teams are other than probably more than two.

opaque veldt
#

So, to clarify:
We'll be assigned to a team, and we'll work to gain concensus in the team, doing actions, etc

rapid cave
#

vassals are like 1-3 players yes

#

player teams i'm aiming for around 10

golden dock
#

Promote disunity! Each team member a minister with distinct areas of oversight and no alignment on overall strategy

explain why this is bad

rapid cave
#

too many cooks perhaps

humble forge
#

A lot to organize too...

#

do you have/need help for the backend side of things? Seems like this large of a single game could be easy to burn out on, take care of yourself! 🙂

rough isle
#

I’ll help get replacements once the game is going if teams are stalling but reach out if you need any other help Chassit

rapid cave
#

right now i'm not sure what i'd need help with 😆

humble forge
#

Maybe nothing! 🙂 You have a lot of experience running TI4 events after all! 🙂

I'll be the Minister of Helping Kime Win, I'll change the rules and stats of the game to make sure kime wins. I'll be unbiased!

fair yarrow
#

I'm kinda late to the party. Is it still possible to get a spot as a vassal? I just had my first FoW roleplaying experience and I absolutely love it, hissing at other players as a Naalu, spreading beauty and tranquility to those chaotic and ugly races.

#

Well, I signed up, so fingers crossed 🐍

sullen stratus
#

I've just pushed an update for the bot, now everytime Kime presses a button or runs a command, the bot won't comply and tell them instead they are biased

rapid cave
#

signups are still open

We're gonna need a Minister to manage all these Ministers. I would like to put myself forward as Minister of Ministers

@versed meadow

#

so, hypothetically if one person does fill in the 'I want to play with this person' but the other person doesnt say the same back, will they be put on the same team?
asking for a friend

versed meadow
#

XD

lone hill
#

The answer should be yes. I didn't put anyone down but all my irl friends put me down, and if I'm not put with them that will not be good lol

#

(Mostly cause I didn't know who wanted to join at the time)

rapid cave
#

if there are big discrepancies, i will bejust pinging people to explain

versed meadow
#

I also signed up : )

hushed goblet
#

this sounds really interesting! as a long time dm i would love to see what you have cooked up !

I'd hop into something crazy and bespoke. Looks like there's...a lot of interest already.

Are we supposed to recieve a confirm or anything?

#

I have two games on their last round, I’ll sign up 😆

warm marsh
#

Is it still possible to sign up? Trying to convince a friend to enter into a glorious life as a vassal

languid pollen
#

This is the aforementioned friend. I was convinced

rapid cave
#

signups are still open, and i'll make it clear once they aren't

dark spade
#

Chassit frantically generating new factions so there can be 100 vassels scattered around to meet demand

rapid cave
#

"either" is looking a lot like "player only" at this point

fickle sentinel
#

TBH it's mostly the team bit that made me choose to vassalate myself. If there's room for a player team of one...

rapid cave
#

definitely not!

fickle sentinel

Darn

dark spade
#

cue me trying to remember if I said vassal or either 😄

rapid cave
#

maybe people have heard of winnu's reputation in megagames

#

this is also probably a nice little faction popularity contest

echo thorn
#

I'm gonna be a copilot in this megagame. Just saying.

polar lily
#

surprised L1 and barony is that low

rapid cave
#

i'm not

echo thorn
#

Me either

sullen stratus
#

they just have a very standard gameplay, nothing wild, so forgettable

lone hill
sick osprey
#

What if we had a game where each planet was a vassal? Obviously they would have to function differently than vassals will in this one

rapid cave
#

you've kind of recreated cpti game 10

#

except every planet was a player and a franken component

sick osprey
rapid cave
#

yeah

sick osprey
#

Intriguing

rapid cave
#

it was fun but extremely cooked

#

got too much to follow really

sick osprey
#

Yeah, constantly changing abilities sounds like a pain to keep track of

#

But I do think I will start brainstorming and probably post something in the megagames server

glacial frost
#

@rapid cave no rush, but any idea when this would start?

rough isle
#

If it started in the bot it would have been much better

#

But so many people (including myself) checked out

vague reef
#

So this is no DS (good for me), what are the homebrew components with which this game will be played?

rapid cave
#

unique and secret

#

more loosey than super mechanical

#

well i guess plenty have actual mechanics

hearty aurora
#

Signed up. Will be glad to participate on any terms🤗

sinful bolt
#

Signed up. Looking forward to it!

hexed wedge
#

Probably a silly question, but this counts against game cap, yeah?

frozen raven
#

it would but if you tell that to a bothelper I suspect they'd grant the exception

rapid cave
#

it won't stop you joining either

#

and vassal players will probably be put as dummys in the bot, idk if that changes the calc

I do believe @thin turret is the biggest dummy, and I think he'll corroborate that too 😉

About that: where will further info be shared? Here, or in the mega game server?

rapid cave
#

uhh not exactly sure yet

sacred dawn
#

Would this be a good first online TI experience :P

rapid cave
#

it would probably be fine as part of a team, but not representative of many other games

lone hill
#

As long as you're comfortable with the normal rules I'd say so

#

Or yeah on a team

rapid cave
#

i'll be trying to make sure someone on every team is good with the bot

sacred dawn
#

Awesome! Secondary question: do we have a vague start date?

lone hill
#

Tertiary question, do we have a not vague start date?

rapid cave
#

vague start is june 9th iirc

#

whatever the monday around then is

sacred dawn
#

Well... there's probably a 50/50 shot I'll be dead in the diplomacy megagame by then, so why not :P

#

It's the 9th

#

Oh also (from scrolling) if it's 1 action a day it's nbd if I'm alive in the dip game

i'm really looking forward to this 😊

@whole crane @bitter steeple @midnight path @pastel ginkgo you all signed up and requested each other as teammates, but you also requested @indigo depot and @polar lily , who did not sign up. was this a mistake, or are they not joining us?

bitter steeple
#

Thought they were. Not sure 🤷‍♂️

#

Also thought I requested @hard ice but also not sure if he's signed up either

rapid cave
#

ah yeah they did not

#

ah no okay, @indigo depot did sign up but didn't put any preferred team members, same for @polar lily

#

are you two good to be on a team with the above gang?

#

@unique orbit @bright dune you both asked for @pearl crow to be on your team but they did not sign ups, is that a mistake or are they not joining us?

@idle adder you have been selected as a teammate by @versed meadow but not selected them back, is this a mistake?

@rapid cave sorry for pinging. I appreciate you're doing a great job. But don't trust Google very much. Is there a way to check if my sign up has been successful? Guess @pastel karma was asking the same

Does that include what faction the teams/vassals will play as?

no

I've heard vassals will be individual fighter tokens and will be forced to roleplay as stranded travelers

Wait I could have sworn vassals were just role-playing as planet cards that players could yell at when resource output was behind quota?

[[PLAYERS ONLY]]

ok i've assigned every player to a team. i'm going to let you all in to your team channels to mill around and start getting to know each other, and importantly, to check i haven't made any mistakes with double assgning/missing people before it's too late!

if you don't have "show all channels" enabled in the hub, you'll want to add it to your channel list, or will disappear on you

ping me if you think you didn't sign up as vassal only, but you don't have a team, if you can see 2 lots of team channels, or if there's someone you wanted on your team but you can't see them with you. maybe tomorrow or so, the faction reveals will come in

Uh i kinda had this thread on mute since i signed up. Should i have the channels on the main hub Server or do i need to join the megagame Server now?

right clicking the channel you got tagged into and favoriting it also works wonders

Chassit rudely ended it by starting the game process ( ❤️ ), but I'm so proud of y'all for the long string of jokes that went on earlier. Made my day 😄

I just think pinging all .@illiterates could save you on repeating yourself

@rapid cave sorry for the late ping but I was hoping to get on a team with @sick current if it's not too late, he signed up and listed me as a teammate, thx

Are you guys telling me you filled out the sign-up form and didn't read the rules first. Wow, shame on you guys specifically

Rules sound cool! 😎

eh it was more vibes than rules what i gave for signups 😅

@sly panther are "vibes" also a discord UI mechanism?

chassit I like the role color

pls dont change

rapid cave

thanks i like it too

there's alot of text here now.

I signed up before. do i need to do anything now?

Was there an issue due to the miscommunication with bob as a player? Or he was set up just fine solo

rapid cave
#

vassals aren't done yet

golden dock
#

Probably spelled it backwards. It's bob I think

fair yarrow
#

how many vassal spots are there in total anyways?

rapid cave
#

about 60 vassals

#

about 60

uh

#

sounds ike everyone might get in 🤩

rapid cave
#

oh yeah everyone is in who signed up

#

that's why the teams are so rammed full of players lol

ripe junco
rapid cave
#

not yet, it will be obvious

#

probably a couple hours of work to finish vassals yet

ripe junco
#

Cool. The vassal thing sounds very cool so im hyped for the first time for a megagame

idle adder
#

how many people signed up in the end?

#

200ish?

rapid cave
#

yeah something like that

idle adder
#

sooo, 8 player teams? 🙃

rapid cave

something like that

alr alr
no spoilers 😦

rapid cave
#

alright i'm gonna be pinging vassals into their channels

golden dock
#

I haven't gotten a ping yet. AM I KICKED. DID I SIGN UP. WHAT DO I DO WITH MY HANDS

rapid cave
#

everyone should have been pinged somewhere. you have permission to shout at me if not

red mural
#

I got the ping. reacted in that channel. but now i can't find it.

rapid cave

#

How hard would it be to get us permission to pin in the channels? I'm assigning roles to my teammates and want to be sure they don't get lost in the shuffle

rapid cave
#

done for all vassals

Is there any information out yet for the vassel rules?

No

Basically nothing for anything yet, but Chassit will get to it when he gets to it

@rapid cave so I never check the announcements, but I have a degree in theatre. Have room for another vassal?

rapid cave
#

it's too late for now, unless maybe i find some room for you on another team

#

but that would have to wait a lil bit

final crane
#

Sure, whatever works, also okay if I missed the boat. I can also be on a replacement list or something.

Hi everyone. Just breaking the ice of silence😇
Hope everyone is ready to fall under the greatness of Team 7

And also keeping the fingers crossed that @rapid cave is doing fine and the emergency hasn't been any serious. Wish all the best to you and your family🤗

you guys have sleeves?

versed bear

So there’s at least 7 teams?

hearty aurora

I thought there are 8🫣

#

Just like the SC count

So what does team 9 do?

hearty aurora
#

Yeah.. and I'm actually team 666😛

And Team 10 controls Whackamol Rex? A planet that teleports itself all over the map and has 10 shards of the trone on it?

oblique heron
#

Team 11 has Megaton Rex, with the legendary planet ability "Whenever a player activates this system, resolve the" For" effect of the Ixthian Artifact agenda.

Team 8 has Megatron Rex, capable of transforming into a war sun

Aw man Team 3 just got told we were Chassit's favourites you guys get all the fun

rapid cave

you're all my favourite children and i haven't forgotten about you

Obviously, Team 1 is the best. As it says on the tin... It's literally No. 1

If it was the best, it'd be team 0

Should we just delay until tomorrow and integrate codex iv

probably not

What if it's easy to integrate?

But it is just the announcement right, or are they actually releasing it?

glacial frost
#

Fast approaching is sus wording

amber forum
#

I doubt we get the codex on 12th

severe abyss
#

Yes, I'm skeptical

rapid cave
#

fast approaching is the wording of now, not the wording of the 12th

#

if things makes sense to include, i will add them

deep copper
#

said wednesday the 11th of june aka tomorrow

rapid cave
idle adder
rapid cave
#

the probably not was for integrating

#

but it's kind of an impossible answer without knowing whats in it

#

like if it's just adding to some decks that's fine, but i'm probably not changing any omega components

glacial frost
#

It could be whole new factions (not getting added)

golden dock
#

I saw a leak somewhere that said if your username didn't include reference to at least 2 articles of clothing, Codex 4 would invalidate any points you score in favor of those who do have the requisite number

viscid idol
#

Ah shit :(

(these name change jokes do not age well, looks like the funniest "ah shit" people have ever seen)

I heard both of those rumours were true, your name needs to reference an obscure lord of the rings thing and at least 2 articles of clothing

Not sure how to change my username to actually win now

@rapid cave are we allowed to share/discuss anything regarding the faction we are playing or the rules for players vs vassals with other players/vassals? I'm talking with some people who are vassals and I'd rather we all keep to your stated boundaries, than giving too much away

rapid cave
#

vassals shouldn't be telling players anything, vassals have a place to chat among themselves

#

Will there be turns over the weekend? I will be afk for most of it, so will have to organize who presses the buttons. 😄

idle adder
#

weekend is when Chassit sleeps, no turns

rapid cave
#

it's a lot of work 😭

oblique heron
#

I'll bet! Just wrangling one faction has my hands full 😅

echo thorn
#

Just play your faction badly, that's what we are doing

oblique heron
#

Is this an attempt at sabotage? 😄

echo thorn
#

It's only a sabotage if it's from the action card region of the game. Otherwise it's just sparkling bad play

oblique heron

careful!

You think we'll get two whole points? Nice

One will be from Martyr as we complete our victory lap of all the home systems

Should we have a general chat channel @rapid cave ? Let this poor overworked game signup thread rest at last? 😄

glacial frost
rapid cave
#

yeah

stuck totem
#

Yeah, a general OOC channel would have helped in the current contingency.

I don't know what is the situation for other teams, but my team is still waiting on resolve of Friday's action. I think all teams should stop making actions until GM comes back or we may create a horrible mess for him to clean up

ornate crown
#

I don't think anyone should be making actions without the GM, right?

Dang, we shouldn't have been scoring all those points over the weekend?

hello all! still feeling bad. haven't managed to get caught up as i'd have liked yet

focus on getting well, game's game

We knew we were signing up for a months long game anyway. An extra week to catch up is fine

Not me, I expected the game with literally hundreds of players to last a week
