The Heist

[Jin]

Banner to be possibly added here later


There will be many rounds to this game. In each round there will be choices, some good and some bad. These alignment (good or bad) of the choices will be diguised.

The team is made up of trustworthy players trying to work together to meet an end goal, although there will be one player that is trying to sabotage your efforts. Every character will be given special skill sets and personal goals. Only the main skill of each character will be visable and the rest known only to that character.

When a round starts I will give narrative and then a set of choices which will be discussed by the players and then voted on. The choices are completely up to the players and will affect the ending.

This is a new concept made up by me and therefore might be a little weird when played out for the first time since this is literally the first time I am hosting this game. Please bear with me on this journey, it will get better. Start-up ideas are always weird. Also, please post your interest in joining below

Sure, why not? I'll jump in.

This sounds interesting. I'll go for it.

Usain Bolt ran in to the house! Of course I'm playing!

Phase 1: Setup (Normal)

Everyone has congregated in the upstairs of a mutual friends restaurant. You lot have been requested personally by a handler to layout, plan, and execute a heist. Having never met each other, you don't know who is who but need to work together to accomplish this task.

First order of business is to vote on the type of mission you will be tasked with.

1. Big Bank Job {Money Path} (Highest money payout, highest risk)
2. Jail Break {Explosive Path} (Reward of one extra person which has modest payout and a lower risk than bank job)
3. Small Bank Job {Mixed Path} (Modest payout, lower risk than Jail Break)
4. Arms Dealer Warehouse {Gun Path} (High payout in long run, medium to high risk)
5. Securing business CEO {Vehicle Path} (lower payout, lowest risk)

Choose wisely fellow heisters.

This will last 48 hours or until everyone has voted. No special actions will be used this phase.

[Flemingisa]

So is this the first of many missions? If so than it makes sense for us to do the lowest risk one to see how all of us work together. So I'm going to go with either the jail break or ceo mission. I don't know yet

The Jail Break has the second highest risk rate, meaning 3,4,5 have the lowest risks.

[Aersoldorf]

Are there formalized rules?

[Boltor]

I'd vote for 3 or 5.

[Aersoldorf]

I'm greedy, I'd say 1

[Boltor]

I'd prefer the small bank job to the big one

Get some team experience in something easier.

[Hahiha / USSR]

I'm going to vote for 3.

[Sheynat]

3. Good place to start.

[Aersoldorf]

Fine, 3

[Bevilla]

If you don't mind, could I play in the next game?

[Elite]

I'll vote 4. If we're going to have multiple missions, it makes sense to do the "long run" mission first and maximise earnings.

[Barry]

Yeah, I agree with Elite's reasoning for #4. Save the least risky (#5) for if we get in trouble and need something relatively safe in a later round, while we all try to get the hang of things and at least start the long-range, lower risk operation.

Vote: #4

[Barry]

Sorry for the double-post.

If there is some natural logic to this game, it would seem we might want to grab some guns (#4), and then maybe carjack a van (#5), before we go robbing any banks (#1, #3). Since I don't think we're in jail - yet - we can probably rule out #2.

[Bolt]

We have to do 1. High risk, high reward is good. Better than what that Patty is thinking. I hate him!

[Barry]

I think going after the big bank heist without enough guns or even a get-away van may land us in jail.

[Bolt]

I say one, so we will do one! I am Judge!

[Boltor]

I'm also accounting for mixed path vs guns path in the description of 3 vs 4, not all of us are rambocentric in our skills + arms dealers thugs are worse than bank security imo. Although I guess we could thin them out beforehand. IDK how Jin will run things, and how payouts will help us for the next job. The payout from 4 read better than 3, but the risk of 4 indicates to me it could be risky.

Jin are we allowed to say who we are? The OP suggests a sabotage role, but I guess anyone could be the saboteur as their goal that Jin pm'd each player. I think it would be cool to know who everyone is, put some faces to some skills and names.

[Jin]

I will post the results tomorrow after my doctors appointment. Basically three things i want to touch on.

1) You can reveal your role but there is a saboteur amongst the group so lets be weary of that. You also could make up whatever skills you need to in order to deceive one another, its in your best interest to not reveal everything.

2) Please PM your skill decisions to me if you have any. That helps retain anonymity when choosing who is on the receiving end of your choice. Along with this, i must say that in this decision phase all skills are blocked. Your skills will start on the next phase.

3) Choose wisely as your choices in the first heist will greatly affect your other heists. Achieving goals, making certain choices, and your character secrets (more will develop) will sculpt your future endeavors.

I am sorry, i did not see this. Yes, basically, there are guidelines. I know core phases that need to be executed, those will not change but the whole game, outside of the core phases, is very much moldable.

The ground rules are these.

1) No PMing each other unless i allow it, add me when you do.

2) Stay on topic, outside banter will come with in-game risks.

3) All is fair in love and war, the game will change. Therefore, i am the end all be all and writing narrative is on me. Please refrain from posting any changes or narrative, again there will be risks attached.

4) Please bold your votes and be definitive on your choices in the end.

[Boltor]

okay I'm voting for 4 (Arms Dealer Warehouse)
