[DPR MAFIA] The Town Wins!

[cosmicpanda]

Wes, your cannibal game was typical of you - confusing as hell and a bit demented.  ;D

 

I'd be happy just to play a smaller game, if 12 players aren't going to show up. Maybe we should look at clearing out the themed queue, to see if everyone signed up there still wants to mod?

[DPR]

 

Owwww. Definitely not "typical" - I usually don't drop the ball at the end. But, I'm open to whatever everyone wants. Let's see what get's everyone excited. Maybe some Vampire Hunter games. We haven't done those in a while and they kick all kinds of ass.

[Guest dragonsworn1991]

 

Meh. That one was a bit of a washout - no pun intended. okay, I lie, there is totally a pun there, but it has nothign to do with flavor. So...that being said..The Cannibal Wars was...unfulfilled. I know. I never "missed" on a game before, and in light of my baby son's arrival with issues and a flood, yes, I realize it's getting a bit biblical,  I cracked under the pressure. The details got mixed up, I jumped the shark on Nae's 'reincarnation', and I think we were all relieved when it was done. Put it in the books and call it history.

 

But that has nothing to do with now...

 

Which is to say, if you don't like zombies, then what do you like? I'm open to ideas. I like epic ideas. I enjoy chalenges. I laugh at the paltry games that others try to mod. Challenge me. heh 

 

Wasn't meaning anything about your game. It was epic, just a little confusing. I have an idea I will pm you, because I might run it in the future.

[DPR]

 

No worries - I am my own biggest critic, and any of the old players will tell you that TCW was a flub, and that's just how it is. I shot back a thought on your setup. Let me know what you think.

[Guest dragonsworn1991]

You are 100% correct with your shout back.

 

*Goes to plan something else*

[cosmicpanda]

As long as Vampire Hunter isn't fast mafia (doesn't tend to work with different timezones and all) I'm up for it.

[LilyElizabeth]

Sorry. I haven't had time to do much more than keep up with the games. Flavor is nice. I'm not particularly into vampires, but I'll go with the flow. Something fun and new is always good, too. We do have a bit of that going on at the moment, with Pandy's resurrection game and Dragon's game in the SG, though. I guess my thoughts would be anything is good. Just feed my addiction!  ;D

VH is the original fast mafia. heh. But no worries, I've been looking at the other games and threads and I think I see what we need to do. We'll stick with the Minotaur Maze theme and add in some roles - but nothing to complex so that new players will be welcome. I'm also going to post a bit about game conduct and what's expected so that everyone knows what to do.

 

I'll have it up later today.

[Verbal32]

I'm in no matter what.  I'd also prefer to not have a "fast" mafia, but at this point, I'll play anything.

[Red2111]

i;m up for anything so long as its not too fast and not too complexe.  i confuzzle easy and this will only be my 2nd or 3rd game :)

 

i'm currentl in day 1 of my first mafia and the 2nd in SG is about to start :D 

 

 

when i sae the title, i instantly thought of greek mythology.  the only about King Minos and the golden thread that helps the young prince find his way back through the maze.  in the myth, the king had displeased Zues; the result was Zues made the kinds wife all madly in love with a white bull, producing the offspring Minator.  which is why he had icarus's father build the maze.

 

 

 

its a rather good myth :)

[DPR]

 

Yup. The myth will be the basis for the game. LZM didn't leave any notes, but I think we can put something exciting together.

 

* Won't be too fast.

* WOn't be too complex.

 

Just good 'ol mafia.

[Talya]

I can't do a fast Mafia now adays, I'm just not on enough.

 

But if you need an extra body for this I will, though I will be starting a Christmas one in the BT soon ;)

 

Just thought I would squeeze that is...shameless I know!

[DPR]

 

Hmmm...as it tunrs out, I believe that this is going to be quiet an interesting game. I'm not ready to post details yet, but I will be in 24 hours. Stay tuned.

Teasing the animals, Tal? Shame on you! Um, where do I sign up?  ;D

 

 

[DPR]

 

Here's the new setup:

 

Upon the stone balconies of the Palace of Knossor stands King Minos. With a troubled brow, he looks down upon the maze that is the Cretan Labyrinth. His expression changes from wistfulness, to regret, and then to rage.

 

Somewhere between deception and helplessness he has languished, but he will not let you see this expression because such are the burdens of any king. He lets his face fall, now a mask of stone, and turns to look at each of you in the eye.

 

“The Minotaur is kept within the Labyrinth, but for how long?”

 

You stand silent. The King’s voice lowers to a graveled pitch.

 

“Not long enough, so my enemies plot behind my back, but I will not fall victim to a monster freed to slake its thirst on my blood. I will slake my thirst upon it instead!”

 

Fire dances in his eyes as he curls both hands into fists.

 

“I charge the twelve of you to kill the creature! Return to me, bearing its head, and I will make you rich and powerful beyond anything you have ever imagined. Bring those bloody horns to my feet and you shall want for nothing.”

 

Blood courses through your veins at the thought of such glory and wealth…

 

“But know you that deception stands even among your own.”

 

His voice lowers to a whisper…

 

“And they may prove to be even more deadly than the beast. Guard yourselves as you hunt and stay true to your heart, for in the end, no man or beast is greater than the strength of that.”

 

He turns to stare back over the Labyrinth and his enemy, somewhere down there, that stares back.

 

Guards usher you to the steps that drop down to the entrance to the maze.

 

Kill the beast and live forever in glory. Fail, and you will die.

 

You take one last look at the palace, then, in a single line, you enter the maze.

 

 

There are 12 players. Each player has a role.

 

3 players are the Assassins. They are among the king’s enemies and will plot to kill the members of the group with one kill per night. The Assassins may communicate off-thread.

 

1 player is the Symp. This player knows the Assassins, but the Assassins do not know the Symp. The Symp may not communicate with the Assassins off thread. The Symp will try to benefit the Assassins however possible.

 

 

8 players are The Warriors:

 

3 Warriors are the Bowmen. Each of the Bowmen has one arrow that they can fire at any player. If all three arrows are fired at the same target, that target will be killed.

 

1 Warrior is the Swordsman. The swordsman may choose any player to kill, but must choose this player within the first three nights. The power is lost by dawn of the fourth day.

 

1 Warrior is the Shieldman. This player may protect one player per night from any harm. If protected, nothing may kill you.

 

1 Warrior is the Artificer. The Artificer is a builder and has knowledge of the construction of mazes. Once per night, the artificer will choose Left, Right, or Middle for the path that the group will take the next day. Two paths will lead the group forward. One path will lead the group to the Minotaur, and an extra lynch will be held.

 

1 Warrior is the Weaver. The Weaver will leave a trail of string as the group moves forward and has the power to backtrack, bringing the group back from any direction they feel is bad. The Minotaur is known to leave the bones of its victims in its path.

 

1 Warrior is the Prophet. The Prophet speaks to the gods and once per night, may ask the mod about the alignment of any player.

 

***

 

The Assassins win if they kill enough players to equal or outnumber the total number of players.

 

The Symp wins with the Assassins, but is aligned with the Warriors.

 

The Warriors win when all of the Assassins are killed.

 

Standard rules apply. This game will begin on Monday, Nov. 30th, at 8 pm EST.

 

Sign-ups are open
