werepenguin time? WEREPENGUIN TIME!

we shall be playing werepenguin: snatcher edition... it is based on what is objectively the greatest video game of all time and where my moniker originates, and the story is essentially just a game of werepenguin. below is a link for some BACKSTORY. i would like to try to keep the roles somewhat minimal but am still giving it some thought just to keep things fun. in the game, metal gear mk ii is a robot to scan people to see if they are human or not, so that will be the psychic role. i will continue to update the roles over the next few days. i would like to start on TUESDAY the 30th (after the memorial day holiday) as long as we have enough players. this will be fun...




PLAYERS:
Alexi
SCG
Crouton
Jura
gotham
NSS
Magic
wise
boydster

current roles:
junker (human)
snatcher (werepengiun)
metal gear mk ii (psychic)
random hajile (wildcard)

the setting will indeed be a futuristic japan in the year 2047 in the fine city of neo kobe. a lot of the narration and story will just be from game lore which i will do my best to keep fun and digestible whether you know anything about the game or not (but also just play it or watch a playthrough on youtube since it is amazing).

Yes.

I'm in!

Seems like a good time for it.  I'm in.

can one of you fine mods/admins just convert this to the OFFICIAL SIGNUP THREAD?

i shall provide you all the story soon, thankfully most of the work has been done for me

 
I shall make the journey from the lands of mist.

Count me In!

Sign me up.

I have a vague idea of what this is. Eh, screw it, I'm in.

It's easy stuff. Just stick with me and trust everything I say uncritically. The others will just lie to you.

Yes, just trust everything Crouton says uncritically.

UPDATE in the OP

I don't see what Notsoskeptical writes and I don't care, and it is in. This may affect the course of the game in some variants. Anyway nevermind. You can count me in the game, provided that if Crouton promises throughout the game that he won't ban anyone for game-related reasons.

He loves me.

Narrator's discretion. It has nothing to do with me.

I think the imminent threat of Croutons arbitrary power hanging above us like the sword of Damocles adds a frisson to the proceedings, without it the tightrope is only a foot from the ground, People can kick off, run screaming from the game and anarchy is loosed upon the world.

It is sobering to know such powers exist.

We will fight Crouton with our fists.

Much like nuclear Armageddon we must try to become numb to the threat of the tyrant Crouton's shadow over us all of us.

I recommend repeatedly listening to 99 Red Balloons and Mad World.

It is directly related to you, but at least the narrator's high IQ gives me hope in this regard.

It's because you banned him during my game for being a shithead.

You must decide on what players can be trusted to deliver actions that are equivalent to what they say.

I declare before you that my whole game life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to keeping the game integrity at the highest level possible and to deliver actions that result in bringing fair play to the game in which we all belong. 

Has anyone notified boydster and Jane?

Gayer notification?

Done all three.

i'd like to have at least a few more players so we should probably keep signups going this week.

If D1 was free, he would definitely join in.

Sorry. Even though I said "yes" a recent turn of events mean I can't play this game.

Maybe next time.

Where the hell is Stash?

In my sex dungeon.
