Two Rooms, One Boom, and a Bang (not run)
EDIT: This is not the right thread - fresh sign-ups are
Or 2R1B1B, if you are that way inclined. This will follow the same general practices as the Two Rooms and a Boom Practice Game that I ran last year, but this time around I'm using a slightly more complicated roleset, specifically:
Blue Team
President
Doctor
President's Daughter
Nurse
(Vanilla) Blue Team members as necessary
Red Team
Bomber
Engineer
Martyr
Tinker
(Vanilla) Red Team members as necessary
Grey (unaligned)
Sniper
Target
Decoy
Gambler (if necessary)
Roles from the previous game work the same here. At the end of the game, in addition to the Gambler making their call as to who won, the Sniper must name who they will shoot. If they successfully hit the Target, then the Sniper wins and the Target and Decoy both lose. If the Sniper does not hit the Target, the Sniper and Decoy both lose and the Target wins; and if the Sniper hits the Decoy, the Decoy and Target both win. This does not affect whether the Blue or Red team wins (in particular, shooting the President does not cause the Blue team to lose, go figure).
Additionally, one role other than Sniper/Target/Decoy will be buried, prior to roles being distributed. If one of the key roles is the buried one, then the appropriate back-up role will take their place. For example, if the President is the buried role, then the President's Daughter is considered to be the President for all intents and purposes - she must meet with the Doctor and not end up in the same room as the Bomber in order for the Blue team to win. If a key role is not buried, then its backup role is essentially a vanilla member of their team. The buried role is not revealed during the game.
The backup roles are:
President -> President's Daughter
Doctor -> Nurse
Bomber -> Martyr
Engineer -> Tinker

They're kind of covered in the previous game, but I'll be using one of the currently reserved posts to put up a proper list of rules and roles and how everything interacts.
EDIT: The Doctor and Engineer roles were listed in the room threads, but not the main thread. I will still be posting the full list of everything soon. Also, based on feedback from the previous game, this time around there will be no PMs. Instead, all non-public actions will be placed in spoilers, and players will be trusted to not look at spoilers not addressed to them.

Re: Two Rooms, One Boom, and a Bang (sign-ups)
Welcome to the new folk, and thanks for signing up!
I'll leave sign-ups open for two more weeks to get the numbers needed (also because I'll be on leave and having fun with my family next week so can't start the game then).

Re: Two Rooms, One Boom, and a Bang (sign-ups)
I wasn't aware the game wouldn't be starting for so long. I will be abroad from the 25th to the 4th, and can't play if the game overlaps.

Ah, that will be a bit difficult then. Even starting now would probably be cutting things a bit close then. I still need to hold off, so I'll see when I can start the game (if we don't get the sign-ups, it won't be a problem anyway!)

Re: Two Rooms, One Boom, and a Bang (sign-ups)
I'm sorry to see this didn't work out. I am hosting my own take on Two Rooms and a Boom offsite, but the catch is that the game takes place entirely through Quick Topics, and doesn't necessarily have to be based in a single forum. If I hear enough interest, I can post another OP here, that I can ensure is identical to the one on the ToS Forums at all times, and welcome xkcd forumers to play as well.
Re: Two Rooms, One Boom, and a Bang (sign-ups)
I'm finally back, after being back and then gone again thanks to a stomach bug. I'm not sure whether to reset sign-ups, or the thread, or just withdraw and collect my thoughts and try again later. Any preferences?

Probably best to start around or after then, because that's when I come back from holiday too.

Re: Two Rooms, One Boom, and a Bang (sign-ups)
Probably worth at least re-announcing. We'll have to see if everybody's still around… I'm still around.

I'm out of the running for this game. Sorry.

Re: Two Rooms, One Boom, and a Bang (sign-ups)
I'm sorry ConMan, but something has come up and I don't have time for another game right now. I might be available in 2-3 weeks.
Re: Two Rooms, One Boom, and a Bang (sign-ups)
Looks like it will be best to close this up and reset sign-ups a bit later. Hopefully by the time I do, the search function on the forum will be working again.

Re: Two Rooms, One Boom, and a Bang (sign-ups)
Sorry, the game will not be running just yet, and when I'm ready for it I'll set up a fresh sign-up list.
As to your question:
As stated in rule 12, you cannot lie in bold type, which includes reveals and shares. The terms refer to the fact that when playing in real life you have actual cards that you literally reveal and/or swap, so it's the difference between just saying "I'm the President" and showing someone that you have the President card.
