Twelve people are traveling through the forest in the mystical land of Aruen, on their way back to the castle after an adventurous quest. Heavily armed, and stocked with sufficient provisions, they made camp for the night and slept peacefully. This morning, they awoke to discover that someone had stolen many of their weapons, slashed their water-skins, and dumped or taken many of their provisions. In horror, the group ascertains the damage and tries to clean up the salvageable provisions. During this process, they find a note which reads:

“Greetings, unsuspecting and vulnerable travelers!

There are traitors in your midst! You will never find out who we are, for you will all be dead before then. MWHAHAHAH!

Yours Truly,
The Mafia"


The Jobs:

Civilian: The majority of players are civilians. Civilians do nothing special, they just vote every day for who they think is a murderer.

Mafia/murderer: There are 3 Mafia, who get to kill one member every night. They PM the leader, telling the leader whom they want to kill.

Psychic: The Psychic gets to find out the job of one person per night.

Angel: The Angel saves one person every night. If the Angel saves the same person as the Mafia decide to kill, then that person doesn’t die.

Cupid: On the first night only, the Cupid PM’s the leader with the names of two people he/she wants to be ‘lovers’. If one of these lovers dies at any time in the game, the other one will too.

The Game Play:

There are 2 periods of the game: day and night. During the nights, the murderers kill somebody, the Psychic finds out somebody’s job, the Angel save somebody, etc. During the days everybody votes on whom to hang at the end of the day.

The object of the game for the murderers is to kill everybody before they themselves are all hung. The object of the game for everybody else is to hang all the murderers before they're all dead. During the night, the murderers kill one person, the Psychic finds out the job of one person, the Angel saves one person, and (on the first night only) the Cupid picks two lovers. During the day, everybody votes on whom to hang for the last murder. (I will be putting people’s votes up in bold next to their names.) The Duke then decides on whether that person gets hung. Then it goes back to night and it starts over again. Don't forget to bold your official votes; otherwise they don't count!

We will be playing this game with time constraints, so each day and night will last 72 hours at the most.
For the days: The day ends (1) when all of the people have voted (2) when one person has more than half of the active votes or (3) when the 72 hours are up. If the vote is tied after the day ends, both people die (unless they're the last two people in the game, in which case the leader declares indecision).

For the nights: The night ends when (1) the murderers, Psychic, Angel, and (on the first night only) Cupid have all PM'ed the leader, or (2) when the 72 hours are up. If any of the people with night-jobs have not PM'ed the leader by the end of the night, the leader selects a name at random to go to that job. Thus if the murderers fail to PM the leader, the leader selects a name at random for them to kill, if the Psychic fails to PM the leader, the leader selects a person at random to tell the job of to the Psychic, etc.

This game will be non-reveal, so you won’t find out other player’s roles until the end of the game.


Things to note:

Please keep your inbox as empty as possible. I will send PMs regularly to the players.

Don't be scared to make alliances, lie, and do anything else to win! Just remember, don't trust anyone, as we have murderers in our midst! If you prefer to play in a sportsmanly way, you may decline from using devious methods to win, but be forewarned that they are allowed in the rules and that you may be targeted by other players. Please do not take it personally!

You are always free to ask questions by PMing me or asking everyone in general.

Ooh, I like your set up.:D

*Sigh* Those Mafia seem to pop up everywhere.

*Searches damage frantically* Did they take my book?!
 
It's just funny that every mafia thread seems to begin with a book discussion.... ;)

*reads Chesterton* He's good for long journeys.
 
*reads Jesse Stuart*

I know how I'll figure out who everybody is!

The Doctor/Angel will be the one reading Merck's Medical Dictionary.

The Detective/Psychic will be the one reading Sherlock Holmes.

The Mafia will be those reading Serial Killers and Their Ways.

The Civilians will all be reading Civics Life-Pacs.

The Cupid will be reading a romance novel.

Okay, I got it! I win!
 
:D Not sure you win...but Jesse Stuart is cool. I've read only a little of his stuff--a short story and part of a memoir--but I'd like to read more.

But but but

If I'm a civilian I want people to think I'm not a civilian because civilians are boring

If I'm the Mafia I definitely don't want anyone to know who I am

If I'm the Detective I don't want the Mafia to know who I am

If I'm the Doctor I read Doctor Who books

and I'm not reading romance novels even if I am the cupid.

*Reads Chesterton as well*

*Shivers under covers*

When is night over?
 
Oly was the first on the forum, I believe. But since he seems to have abandoned us.... *glares at Oly's Beard*
 
OK people! Don't nobody come now saying stuff like "well, BK's been awfully quiet...bla bla bla bla... cause you'll all be sorry. I'll make you listen to my tenor-like rendition of Asleep in the Deep and High Noon Noose Ain't Loose. It will send shivers down yer spines (if you have one).

Either that or I'll make my recorder squeak those stupid high pitch tones all night long until the mafia succumb and give themselves up!!!

*Jots down note*

Note to self: Say "BK has been awfully quiet..." at some point during the game...
 
*refuses to be awfully quiet*

We've got a fire going, we should stay up all night and tell stories! I mean, it's not like any of us are going to get real sleep with the mafia about. :rolleyes: Hehe, I know. We'll make everyone tell stories around the fire and hopefully something they say will betray them. :D

*keeps dagger in boot just in case mafia decide to come after me*

*puts Shakespeare away in cloak pocket and settles down to hear stories*


(Love the setting, D!)
