"I would like to play The Pipeworks.
I agree that this thread and the provided titanpads are the only method of communication available for Pipeworks discussion between players.
I agree to never reveal the password to a Pipeworks titanpad document no matter the circumstances."

The best shade of blue that I could find a name for is Electric Indigo?

With 2 days to go until the deadline*, I'd like to address a point about how much of your time this game will take up.

The answer is not a lot. With 13 players or less, each team will have 4 members. Between you, you'll be expected to submit 6 actions every 2 days. This will be out of sync with RS3 and/or any other forum games when RS3 ends, if Pipeworks is ongoing.

You can spend several hours analysing the best options, or you can crank out 6 actions in a few minutes with 30 seconds until the deadline. Though the latter option will lead to a shitty game, my point is this: it won't take up much of your time unless you want it to.

If you're a Spy, the effort you might need to put in will be double. If you're a Spy and you don't want to be, there's nothing stopping you from only contributing to one team.

Anyway.

Linkcat and DoubleCapitals need to read the rules xD

*Yes, I am more keen about this than Hyroen is about Council

My favourite shade of blue is sadness.

Sign ups have ended. Awaiting Linkcat to prove that he's glanced at the document before teams can be allocated and we can begin.

[CleanOnion]

Linkcat has decided to back out because he couldn't deal with the pressure of being in another forum game and has decided that his time is better spent elsewhere, for example, sitting in his bed and crying alone.

Once balance calculations for 11 players are complete, PMs will be sent and Round 1 will begin. Please hold.

Spoiler for Pipeworks at the end of Round 0:

Items at the start of Round 0:

ROUND 1

Submit your actions in the top six lines of your titanpad.

There are between 0 and 13 Spies in the game. Spies may be acting as Spies, Spy-Spies, Spy-Spy-Spies or any other depth of Spying.

There are 4 players in each faction. If you only see 3 speaking, somebody is inactive.

Members of the Wraiths have been given the following line:
"The Wraiths are a problem that need to be dealt with, according to... well, everyone. Your job is to deal with them first."
I should make it clear that "them" refers to "everyone except the Wraiths".

Round 1 has ended.

The timer will normally be 2 days long, the 3 days is just to de-sync with RS3.

Please PM me any queries or bugs.

Owing to some confusion involving names, I've reset the Engineer's titanpad. It can now be found here:

The same password still applies The password has been changed, please consult PMs for details. If you erroneously did not receive one, contact me.

If you're going to spam-change your nickname, don't make it look like other players. It's confusing.

Rule-changing update!

Players may now opt to send the host (me) copies of their actions from the titanpad.

This is briefly explained in a paragraph I just added to the Rules Document:

Spoiler for Example:

For example: John, Mary, Ann and Mark are in the same faction.
Their titanpad has the following actions:

• Expand
• Illuminate
• Nuke Everything

John, Mary and Ann have also PMed copies of this list to the host.

Mark is a Spy. Towards the end of the round, he quickly edits the actions in the titanpad so they benefit him more:

• Use Hammer
• Use Drill
• Use Running Shoes

He then PMs these moves to the host.

When the host comes to processing actions, I look at all 5 copies of the actions. 4 from PMs, and 1 from the titanpad.

For the first action, "Expand" occurs 3 times (from John, Mary and Ann's PMs) and "Use Hammer" occurs twice (from Mark's PM and from the titanpad).
"Expand" occurs the most times, so that action happens. The "Use Hammer" action is ignored.

This is a method for evading last minute edits. It is completely optional. Balance suggestions are requested.

Megalomaniacs, those of us of the Wraiths would like to propose an alliance. Reply here if interested. Onion has confirmed that the alliance action can be done on any action in the same round.

Hey organizer-person -- can you find a way to use this in the game somewhere/sometime?
