Nyn, you are a returning member, right?

Question: Which colour goes best with black?

5 points for signing in, 5 for answering.

I think white goes well with black.

Shad and Ley have killed each other.

thehumantrashcan wins the Hunger Games!

Night begins

Day

Turin is dead.

3 people alive: Leyrann, thehumantrashcan and Shad

Am I missing messages or only one person sent in action?

Yes. But he was (or might have been) the father and that is close to mentor.

Myths do have stories about gods turning to old men to test people, ie, old people appearing and disappearing after giving a lesson. Mentor dying might be an evolved form of this.

Chaelca has decided to quit.

Theseus's father died when he failed to change the colour of sails.

That's the closest thing I could think of

Night 2 begins in two hours and will last for 24 hours. Please send in your actions dry time (I might excuse a tiny bit of delay as that time will be the middle of night for me)

I am sorry for the confusion regarding deadline but since most people seem to have turned in actions (and I don't know if anyone will survive if I take rest of the actions), I'll call it the end of Night.

I have finally gone insane.

Why are we waiting 3 days for a night phase that should not exist? Hunger games is supposed to be 24 hour Phases. You submit your action by DL and they get resolved. Then next phase starts.

 

We should all also have a PM for our individual actions so it is easier to keep them straight.

Also, middle of the night tends to disturb my sense of time. I thought night phase would have begun my now instead of another few hours left.

This is Day 1.

Now, what is going to happen in Day 1? Nothing, actually. You can post here, get to know your fellow players and do whatever you want (within limits of DM and BT rules).

Killing starts on Night 1.  Night 1 starts at 12:30 pm GMT on 24 June 2017.

The Chosen One has appeared. The whispers spread throughout the country. He who must defeat the Dark Lord has appeared. Finally...finally can we live in peace. But the Shadow seems to have​ some other plans. They don't want the Chosen One to will.

The fight against the Shadow has been long and hard. Both sides suffered heavy casualties. There could be no victory... unless... unless something is done fast.

The Great Wizard locks Champions from both sides inside the Great Maze. Here he hopes the Chosen One will defeat the Dark Lord but nothing can be said. He hopes that it will contain evil for a time if he fails.

The Champions from both sides rise up.

From Light, we have our valiant heroes

Leyrann

Lessa Nikia

And to ruin their plan and try to establish their own dominion of Shadow, we have

Turin Turambar

The Champions take their places inside the Great Maze. Only one of them will leave it alive. They do not look back as the doors of the Maze close behind them.

The Rules.

1. There will be Days and Nights, but each will only be 24 hours exactly ... although Day 1 might be a few hours longer. This will be a fast and dangerous game. Inactive people will probably end up dead fast.

Days are for negotiating and building alliances / planning attacks. In the Night, people will die. The time chosen for the Deadline will be the same every night, regardless of when I post scenes, and will be chosen to best suit me. I will try to post scenes as soon as possible after deadlines have passed. I live in a timezone different from everyone and the time chosen for deadline may not be convenient for you in which case I recommend sending actions early. For sake of convenience, I'll try to post all times in GMT.

2. There will be Alignments but the Rules say this is a Last Man Standing Game. Shadow probably don't want Light to win and vice versa.

3. There will be No Special Roles. Everyone will have the same abilities as detailed below.

4. You may forge alliances if you wish, but the rules say there can only be one winner - so expect betrayal.

5. There will be no Lynches or Day Actions. Night Actions will occur simultaneously.

6. You can edit all you like. This is NOT Mafia

7. If you want to send a PM to another player, MSN, Skype, telephone or set up a QT to build alliances and plot then feel free - include me for the chuckles maybe? (see what i did there)

You can contact who you like because at the end of Day the rules say only one person will win.

8. There will generally be no secrets in this game, both the Dead and those who killed them will be revealed, unless you use a secret kill and it is successful.

9. Everyone has the same Choice of Night Actions which MUST be submitted via your official Night Action PM:

A. Kill

B. Protect Self

C. Protect Another

D. 1 Shot Hard Kill

E. 1 Shot Hard Protect

F. 2 Shot Secret Kill

*Please be aware that multiple Kills on the same Player will be classed as a Hard Kill unless there is a Hard Protect in place or an equal amount of normal Protects are in place. Hard Protect stops everything - both Hard Kills and Multiple Kills.

10. There will be NO posting after death. Not even a Bah post. Dead is dead.

11. Faction change in the middle of the game is allowed if someone from the other faction sponsors you. The person can then tell his other faction members not to kill you if they so wish. In case of faction change, new faction will not be announced unless someone specifically asks me to reveal someone's faction. One one reveal per day per person is allowed. (This is only because I wanted to introduce double agents).

The Cliche Mafia

As the king stepped up on the platform in the grand hall of the castle, the crowd immediately died down.
 
'People of the land!' he spoke. 'My sources have told me grave news, and I see not why I should hesitate to bring it to you. This message is what it is, no matter how it is brought, as it appears, that there are people here, that wish us dead.' He looked to the noble knight, to his daughter the princess, his eyes missed the fool, he looked at his wife the queen, and others. 'But let us not be afraid. These vile minds will not best us! Let us stand strong together, and let us weed out these traitors! We will be one front, we will not let these people defeat us, and it will be their blood only that will wet the floors of this castle!'
 
The crowd cheered his words, as he was king, but at the same time, they looked upon one another in distrust. Who were these people? Who wished this? Who could they trust, who would betray them in one of the castle's many hallways?
 
As the crowd dissolved, suspicion ruled the castle.

Scavenger hunt

Got to catch them all!  Sign up for a classic scavenger hunt. 

Welcome to the newest installation of Light vs Shadow. Keeping in in mind how much of a cliched theme is it, we have come up with a very unique theme. Can you guess it?
 
It is...
 
*drumroll*
 

If you guessed it right, you get nothing (sorry for that but you can have some of the brownies from our endless supplies). If you got it wrong, you can still have brownies.

To have all the fun that can be found through cliches, we will be hosting a few activities. Stay tuned as more and more activities start. See the next post for links.

I hope you all enjoy this event.

Sincerely,

The Black Tower Event Organising Team

What is one cliche/trope that you have seen used too much but can't get tired of?

5 points for signing in and 5 for answering the above question.

For me, it is the villain turning out to be a close relative, usually father, of the main character.

 

You can't defeat the great lord by being in shadow

And I do believe there was a certain someone who did help defeat the DO by being in shadow. And there are others who turned from the shadow to fight for the light. So there!

Shhh... I just wanted to see Turin be in light.
