LOL NEW TRAZ GAME- interest thread

alright, so I have yet to name this game but I have ideas. In any case, the game is simple. It was inspired by many of our past games.

The objective is to be the last man standing. It is very much an "every man for himself" game, although alliances or friendships may be formed and broken. Everyone will start off with 100hp (with a maximum of 200hp). Each player will get 3 types of night actions...attack, defend, and manipulate. In a 3 night cycle, you must use an action from each group once. That is, if you attack on night 1, you must defend and manipulate in the next 2 days before you may attack again. The night actions look like this.

ATTACK
Level 1- damage a player for 25hp
Level 2- damage a player for 50hp
Level 3- damage a player for 100hp

DEFEND
Level 1- Protect a player from all attacks.
Level 2- Heal a player for 25hp (may put a player over 100hp)
Level 3- Defend actions may be used on self with 50% success rate.

MANIPULATE

Level 1- Randomize a players action
Level 2- Randomize a players action AND/OR target
Level 3- Block a players action

Randomizing/blocking occurs first, then defend, then attack.

Everyone starts with level 1 actions. To attain level 2 in a group, you must successfully use the level 1 action. That is, it cannot be blocked or randomized to something else. The same applies from level 2 to 3.

Dead people will be allowed to send in a vote each night. If they choose to vote, they must vote for ONE action group (attack/defend/manipulate) and ONE player. I will then tally the dead votes, take the majority action and apply it to the majority player.

This is very much a night game, so time committal is minimal. Anyone should be able to play if they want to...they never have to post if that's what they choose. I figure there will be a discussion thread so players may chat/brag/taunt or whatever. Players (including the dead) may chat in the day, which will be from 10am-10pm est. At 10pm est, all players must submit their night actions, and then I'll tabulate everything and post the results by 10am the next day. So 12 hour cycles...day will be for chatting, night will be for actions (no chatter for maximum suspense? :P)

The only reveals will be the likes of "traz died at night" and also the success/failure of your action. You will not be able to find out anything else.

To make sure the game is interesting, I may throw in bonus incentives. If I see a huge alliance or something forming, I may pm a player and say "you will get one free attack action if you kill player x" or something along that line. I have yet to decide whether I want to make that a guaranteed aspect of the game.

Anyways, that's the core of it. I'd like to get as many people as possible, but I'd also like to start on Monday. We'll see what happens I guess. Any interest? Suggestions/comments/signups may be posted here
