Freemasons vs. Illuminati - LOOKING FOR ONE MORE PLAYER, QUICK GAME

[Darthe]

The note said they would come.  Getting over the wall had been easy, breaking into the Basilica would be harder.  Mason knew though that they only had one shot at this.  This game was about damage control, pure and simple.  The more you took from your enemy the less resources they had to throw back at you and with stakes as large as the corporate empires of America no tactics were off limits.  Not even this one.  A flash caught his eye, not more than a brief glimmer off something across the parapet and he began to move.  That was the signal he'd been waiting for.  Mason realigned his belay line and jumped into the bowels of the Catholic Empire.  

 

Most came to St. Peters' Basilica through a Vatican Tour.  A brief smirk lit his face when he realized that he was probably one of only a few hundred people who had been here since the great Michealangelo himself.  The two men across from him, his brothers by bond if not blood, descended on silent lines that almost reached the ground.  Extraction was in four minutes.  Four minutes to get through the crypt, sneak past two armed guards, break the seal on a two thousand year old crypt and take the most coveted treasure of the Catholic church without anyone ever knowing they were there.  

 

He repelled slowly down the line, making it almost halfway before he realized that the other two had stopped.  The one on the left, Francis he thought, was waving at him urgently.  It had to be bad.  He couldn't turn on the line like this easily but he craned his neck back over his shoulder as best he could to see what dangers lay ahead.  

 

Two men strode purposefully down the middle of the Cathedral.  Two men dressed entirely in black suits, one bald and the other's hair receding.  He almost didn't notice the third man strolling leisurely behind them.  That's when he knew things were bad.  The man had the eye tattooed on his left hand.  Illuminati.

 

This night was a bust.  If they knew the Masons were after the chalice, had even a hint where the chalice really was, they'd sweep this entire building and the Masons would never come close to it again.  Silently as they had entered the three men crept back up their lines, coiling rope behind them, until they were gone out into the night with no sign that they had ever been.

Day One

[Andrej]

Yup.

[Darthe]

I was really happy when I came up with this basic setup.  It still allows for a lot of advanced play.  The illuminati claiming one way or another is the only way for the seer to tie them down and all mason claims in the game are suspect since they have a higher chance of being mafia but can also clear a townie, thus leading the NK for a night and yet the seer has no protective power etc.  

 

Should be fun to see if this one works or not.  

[Darthe]

Yup.

I love how much faith you have in my setups.  You always sign up.

[Darthe]

To anyone who signs up please take a good look at the rules.  Some of them are different such as the D1 no claiming rule and shorter days/nights than DM standard.

[Lenlo]

I always like smaller but fun setups. Looks interesting. Count me in.

[Red2111]

if we're gonna be away for any reason can we submit actions earlier given the shorter cycles?

 

 

btw, i'm in 

[Darthe]

I'll allow pre-submitted NA's since night is so short.

[RandA lThor]

I am in, this should be interestnig.

[hazelkrs1]

I'm in for both the theme and the setup, looks pretty interesting, wanna see how the strats go.

[WWWwombat]

Wish I had time for this.  Spec thread plz.

[Darthe]

I think Ima just add you and then let you make time =p

[Darthe]

Someday I am going to turn this into a themed game:

 

[Andrej]

 

Yup.

I love how much faith you have in my setups. You always sign up.

Being a mafia junkie probably helps lol

 

The set up looks awesome though. I really enjoy open games, especially one like this where you won't have any 'hard' guilty results from the investigative role. Gonna be genuine scum hunting in this game to win it, should be a blast.

[WWWwombat]

I think Ima just add you and then let you make time =p

 

I think ima just not read my Role PM and let you modkill me.

[hazelkrs1]

I hope I end up scum and Wombat ends up being the Seer

 

[鲍勃不是我的名字]

i'll play

[Andrej]

Figured I would ask this ahead of time - do the Illuminati only show as Masons or is it possible they'll randomize into a Mason pair as well?

[Darthe]

They only show as masons.  The pairs of masons can trust one another though that would be a cool trick.  I don't think I would do what you're asking in a basic game.

[Andrej]

Cool, just wanted to clarify.

[Darthe]

Im excited to see how this one turns out.

[Darthe]

Darthe hopes that he can begin hosting a friggin game sometime soon.

[Nolder]

cool setup, would play if I wasn't already in avengers

 

run it again some day

[Darthe]

I keep questioning if I should have made one of the illuminati masons a godfather so the cop would have more value but I am going to try it out this way and see how it works to essentially h have a cop that can mess up gambits.

[Darthe]

Game is half full!
