Hello, and welcome to Fortress of Lies! If you’re new here and reading this, you’re probably trying to figure out what our forum games are and how to join one. Worry not, for you’ve come to the right place!
General Organization
Fortress of Lies has several categories relevant to managing, discussing, and playing forum games. They are broken up as follows:
Forum Games
This category, where all forum games are played, contains three subcategories - Signups, Ongoing, and Completed.
Signups
This category contains signups for upcoming and ongoing games, with new games opened on a regular basis as old games finish. If you would like to join a game, simply find an open signup and express your interest in playing. Note that there is a dedicated queue for new games to avoid having too many running at one time.
Ongoing
This category contains games that are currently ongoing. Don’t post in ongoing games you aren’t a player in.
Completed
This category contains signup and game threads from games that have already ended. Feel free to look through old games or comment on ones that have recently concluded, but please avoid replying to very old games for no reason.
Forum Game Discussion
This category is for everything pertaining to forum games that isn’t a game itself, including guides, discussion, the queue, role and class cards, helpful links, and more! It’s also a great place for any questions you may have about joining or playing forum games.
