Since I got an okay from @Squigs44 and M49 is delayed... let’s do this.

Always wanted to play a forum game, but don’t find Mafia your taste?
Just finished a mafia game, and looking for a forum game to play before the new large one starts?
Love diplomacy, and want to play a game that has a similar aspect of alliances and backstabs?

If you answered yes to any of those questions, then you are perfect to join in gameplay of the second game of Coalition, first created by @Sguigs44 and going to be GMed by me.

Coalition is a game where you must create coalitions with other players to score as many points as you can. Will you be loyal throughout the whole game? Will you try to be friends with everyone? Will you pull a fast one on those that trust you? Coalition is a blend of diplomacy and mafia. Played in 48 hour phases on the forum, it has a similar gameplay to mafia. However, the game is every man for himself, and the strategy is similar to diplomacy.

Here is a link to the previous season’s forum thread:

And here is a doc with more extensive rules:

Fine with any play size, although ideally 10-20 players. Play begins next Saturday, and would run for 8 phases (just over two weeks). If you miss a phase, you miss out on points, but can still jump in the next phase to try to catch up, so don't worry if you don't think you will have a ton of time. You could get on every other day for 5-10 minutes and still participate.

Please post below if you are interested I think we may be able to run this parallel with M1008

Here’s a short rundown of gameplay which was previously posted by creator @Squigs44:

Each phase, I will post a couple different coalitions that you can create or join. The rules for how points are scored vary depending on the type of coalition you join. Creating a coalition is done publicly, and (usually) joining a coalition is done privately. At the end of the phase, I will post who was in which coalition, and how many points were scored, along with the new types of coalitions.

The link has a list of possible coalitions, but here is one of them as an example:

Note: n is the number of people in the coalition

The “Gamble” Coalition: This coalition has a normal leader and anyone can join it. Each player in a gamble coalition where n is even gains 5 points, while players in a gamble coalition where n is odd gain 1 point.

So if someone says they are going to join this coalition but don't join it, they could screw over everyone else.

Also, for this game PMing is allowed

Above is a better URL, although points awarded from the coalitions may be changed when I post the coalition that are able to be created and joined for balance or to spice things up.

I'll join. Sounds fun, less reading than mafia, and should be finished before I have to go away.

In after Tuesday.

I'm interested.

I guess I could play the game I created. /in

So we're ten at last. Now we only have to wait for Temasek to be back from Thailand...

By which point I'll probably be on holiday. Um, we'd better get this going soon, or I'll have to drop out.
