Reading the Background story, Gameplay, Mechanics and Rules sections will help you to understand the game. The Acknowledgements section is not necessary to understand the game.
Background story:
:stupido:
Our people are a proud stock and many stories have been told about them! This is the story of the priest-king Reenk Roink and the unusual circumstances of his “tribe” if it can even be called that.
Reenk Roink was a young man of many talents: he honored the gods, he respected his people, he killed many enemy men, he loved many friendly women. He demonstrated his capability in all matters that are important to a priest-king distinguishing himself as a fearless warrior and brilliant tactician against his enemies and a responsible and benevolent ruler to his friends.
However, men like Reenk Roink were becoming increasingly rare in a world where the peoples grew more numerous and the lands grew smaller and the priest kings grew greedier...
The king of kings decided that young priest kings like Reenk Roink would not be able to rule over ever fragmenting pieces of the old lands anymore. They would have to venture out somewhere else, taking the many displaced with them.
And so Reenk Roink prepared himself to leave his palace before he could ever rule from its splendid court. He gathered the only belongings he needed - his sword, his shield, his armor, his horse, and, along with a group of his loyal Bronze Companions, Reenk Roink cut a path through his now dangerous homeland to the shores of the Sea of Wine where a ship waited to carry him to a new chapter of his life.
It was at the sandy beaches that, for the first time, he met the refugee people he was going to make a new life with - his new tribe. They came from all walks of life; what stories they had to tell! And yet Reenk Roink knew nothing about them. After examining their faces, obviously grizzled from the arduous journey they undertook, Reenk Roink asked the gods blessings for them. As he leaned on his sword hilt, watching them board the ship, Reenk Roink could not help but feel a great sense of admiration for these noble folk.
What a misguided sentiment he would soon realize it was!
Gameplay:
This is a game in which all players have some role which gives them some abilities and some goals. Though each role is unique in some way, there may be classes of one of more players who share similar goals.
Note: For the purposes of the story, female players are men. :grin: No misogyny intended. ~:grouphug: :bow:
The settlers: Every player is a settler. The settlers are divided into two groups:
The men: The men make up the majority of the people in the settlement. They come from different backgrounds, have different lives, act different ways, and do different things. The one thing that unites them is the pact they made with the priest king Reenk Roink in which they pledged loyalty and obedience to his rule for a degree of influence in decisions.
The good men: The good men make up the minority of the people in the settlement. Like the men, they come from different backgrounds, have different lives, act different ways, and do different things, but they also possess two things in more quantity then the men, status and wealth. They also made a pact with the priest king Reenk Roink in which they pledged loyalty and obedience to his rule for a degree of influence in decisions - a greater degree of influence then the men.
All settlers have two abilities:
Voting: In every day period, the priest king Reenk Roink will hold a council to decide which settler to lynch.
Each settler may decide to vote or not vote (there will be no penalty for not voting).
The priest king Reenk Roink requests that settlers inscribe their vote (or have it inscribed for them) in the manner specified: Vote: [name].
The settlers may change their vote as many times as they wish.
The settlers may not vote no lynch. The settlers may abstain.
In the event of a majority of abstain votes, the matter is wholly up to the discretion of the priest king Reenk Roink.
The men will have a vote rating of 1 (their vote counts as one tally) while the good men will have a vote rating of 2 (their vote counts as two tallies).
The settler with the largest tally count will be executed.
In the event of ties, the matter is wholly up to the discretion of the priest king Reenk Roink.
Dueling: In every day period during the priest king Reenk Roink’s council, a settler may challenge one other settler to a fight to the death for whatever reason.
Each settler may decide to duel or not to duel (there will be no penalty for not dueling).
The priest king Reenk Roink requests that settlers inscribe their challenge (or have it inscribed for them) in the manner specified: Challenge: [name].
The duel proposal may be accepted by the challenged in which case it is added to the list of challenges or rejected in which case it is not added to the list of challenges. The list is handled in first come - first served order.
The list remains throughout the game.
The priest king Reenk Roink requests that settlers accept or reject a challenge by inscribing (or having inscribed for them) Accept: [name] or Reject: [name].
If a challenge is not responded to it will be considered as if it was rejected.
A settler may challenge at most one other settler each day period. A settler may be challenged more than once by several other settlers each day period and he may accept or reject as many of them as he likes.
No redundant challenges will be accepted (if player 1 challenges player 2 then player 2 cannot challenge player 1 while the original challenge remains on the list).
The fight will take place at dusk before the execution. There is only one fight each round.
Each settler will receive a battle rating in his role message based on his role background. The battle ratings of the combatants will decide the outcome of the fight.
If a settler who was to be executed is killed in a duel, then the matter becomes wholly up to the discretion of the priest king Reenk Roink.
The usurpers: Among the settlers are the usurpers. Very little is known about them aside from the fact that they exist.
The way the roles will be handled is as such. First the players will be grouped into the men and the good men. The list of each settler’s status (as one of the men or one of the good men) will be made public. Then the roles will be assigned. Some roles are only available to men, some roles are only available to good men, and some roles are available to both. Everyone will get a role message.
Mechanics:
The day period will last anywhere from 20 to 30 hours usually. Whenever the day period begins, an announcement will be made as to the exact time of the end of the day period (Eastern Standard Time – military format). Any activity (votes or challenges) will be accepted up to the deadline inclusive (the Org time will be used). I will give an extension if three or more people ask for one. The deadlines will be staggered at different times throughout the day so that it is fairer to people from different time zones.
The night period will last anywhere up to 30 hours (hopefully shorter). I will allow a little more leeway for everyone to get their orders in, though I will end the night without all the orders if I have to. I will end the night as soon as I get all orders and finish the writeup.
There will be a punctuality system in place which will handle interleaving orders. It is thus in your best interest to get your orders in fast. :wink:
There is no penalty for inactivity in this game, I’d rather you join up and not be active then not join up at all! I hope the nature of the game will push you to be active in some way. Suicides will be granted only in exceptional cases.
I’m looking for the number of players to be in the mid twenties or more. More people are always easier to accommodate than less people.
Rules:
You must:
-Obey the rules of the Org and the Gameroom (laws and good manners) :deal2:
-Have fun :2thumbsup:
You must not:
-Post screenshots of anything game related (private messages, quicktopics, the game thread itself, chatlogs) :no:
-Quote or forge any game related private messages once dead :lipsrsealed2:
You are allowed to do anything else (quote and forge private messages or quicktopics or chatlogs while alive, reveal your role while dead (as long as you don’t quote and or lightly paraphrase private messages), private message other players dead or alive, etc…) :charge:
Acknowledgements:
Lastly but most importantly, I would like to mention some of the games (and their hosts) that have been most influential in making this one possible.
Of course, I have to start by mentioning GeneralHankerchief who brought Mafia games here. His original Mafia series had the story base which is the main reason I play and my game is story based.
Gotta have more Mafia by Sasaki Kojiro was the first game where many roles were added (I think). Since then, I have always liked games with a lot of roles and my game has a lot of roles.
Interficio quod Scrupulosa by Sir Moody was a monumental game in influencing me. Before that, I believe most games had similar (though richly detailed) settings based on modern towns. Interficio quod Scrupulosa was then the first uniquely “themed” game which really inspired me to roleplay and get into character. The game itself had a basic setup, but the immersion factor made it my favorite game. After playing Interficio quod Scrupulosa, I first seriously entertained the idea of hosting a game - this game (over two years in the making :laugh4:).
That special place for Interficio quod Scrupulosa was soon to be joined by another game when Sigurd hosted The Midgard Saga. Sigurd had taken the idea of a themed game and ran with it. The immersion factor of The Midgard Saga was magnificent; every role was crafted in the setting of the game. Sigurd also introduced a new mechanic of dueling, the Holmgang, which I thought was brilliant, and is the clear influence of my own duel system.
Very recently, yet another game has arrived among Interficio quod Scrupulosa and The Midgard Saga – Whispers in the Night by YLC (with some design help from Sigurd). The setting was more modern and typical, but the immersion factor was again top notch. Whispers in the Night had the mechanic of the dead continuing as ghosts which was the first time I had encountered such a thing, and it influenced me as much as it entertained me.
Of course, the fact is, I have been greatly influenced by every game I have played and every player and host. I don’t mention everyone not because of lack of love, but lack of brains and large amounts of laziness. :bow:
Please post any questions you might have and thanks for playing. :bow:

Great question, sorry I didn’t explain it in much detail. The way the duel system works is that the challenges go on a first come - first serve list and the list exists throughout the game (challenges made in earlier rounds that haven’t been gotten to yet stay on the list). I also should mention that if either party in a challenge dies, the challenge is removed from the list altogether. Lastly no redundant challenges will be accepted (so no player 1 challenges player 2 and player 2 challenges player 1).
And yes, only 1 duel each round.
I’ve added this information to the summary thread (in Gameplay). :bow:

Correct me if I'm wrong.
While we have my wanted minimum, the more the better, so I will leave sign ups open for a bit longer. Sign ups will close no later than tomorrow evening (Eastern US) however, and roles will be determined.
PM's will probably be sent out on Saturday morning though, as everyone will get a PM and I don't know if I will want to do that Friday night. :smiley:
Last thing, is a bit more clarification on the votes. You cannot vote No Lynch in this game. You can (and are encouraged) to abstain. In the event of a majority of abstain votes, the matter will become wholly my decision. :wink:
Shall we see the return of the almighty Wanax?
Are roles distributed at random or according to your wishes?

It's patently obvious that Reenk will make me the mafia just to torture me. :thumbsdown:
He knows full well that I have established a townie play style that will be self-destructive as a mafioso, and I won't be able to bluff my way through a game. So he just wants to take my nips and twist :captain: them around and around until they turn purple and fall off.
He's a cruel, cruel, shameless man. :laugh4: Even worse, he'll make you my partner pevergreen,just so I will have to sputter my way through an explanation for why I haven't voted for you all game after you requested to be mafia.
Bottom line; we're in serious trouble no matter what happens. This will be a treat. :laugh2:

03-07-2009, 12:40
I don't think I'd ever survive very long as a solo mafia.
:no:
I made it through the final round as a mafioso in Blackadder Mafia, but I was a late game replacement, and I'd only been the last mafia standing that round. I bluffed as best I could, but it still came down to a coin flip between myself and Andres, who hadn't been very talkative. I even did a real skynet report to mask my guilt, and fingered Ares and Double A as being Serial Killer and Vigilante. However, that wasn't enough to convince anyone I was innocent, so but for the flip of a coin...
I always get nervous if I survive a long time into the game, no matter what role I have. If I am mafia, I'm doomed, and if I am a town, I am crazy lynchbait. Mafia have been leaving me for the lynch lately because of that.

OK here is the thing.
The thing I determined last night was the good men (9) and the men (17). With Seamus on board, it would make it an even 9 good men and 18 men thus the voting balance of both groups would be equal.
Given that I didn't put out the list out last night, I am going to add Seamus to the signups and redetermine the list, because this one signup does balance the game quite a bit (at least mathematically) in both voting and role distribution.
I'm going to be busting my butt off to get everything out. Thanks to all the players for their patience and understanding. :bow: ~:grouphug:

How the sea creature's attack led to societal reforms and the revolutionary plot
:stupido:
https://img8.imageshack.us/img8/8052/cultures2box.jpg (https://img8.imageshack.us/my.php?image=cultures2box.jpg)
For much of the trip on the calm sea it was busy yet uneventful for the priest king Reenk Roink. He shuttered himself inside his dimly lit office most days, making plans for the settlement he would lead when the ship reached land. The problems he faced were many and the solutions to them were obscure, but what kept Reenk Roink going was the high esteem in which he held his followers, the settlers. Though he had very little interaction with them, his first impressions of them gave the priest king lofty thoughts of their quality which made him optimistic about the future. Reenk Roink did not pay too much attention to the increasing complaints about them from his Bronze Companions...
After almost a month of peaceful sailing, the ship was violently jarred one night. Everyone on board rushed to the stern to find a large sea creature attached to the hull! The Bronze Companions immediately drew their swords and hacked away at the monster’s tentacles, while most of the settlers fled in cowardice. In their stampede away from the stern, one man even knocked over a drowsy and confused Reenk Roink. This was the start of the rapid loss of respect that the priest king had for the settlers.
After a short but intense period of fighting, the swords of the Bronze Companions had done enough damage to force the sea creature to release its grasp and retreat to the murky sea. It was after this that everyone saw what had attracted the beast. A slightly gnawed corpse hung from a rope on the stern.
Reenk Roink had the body pulled back up on deck and as soon as this was done a wailing woman threw herself on the corpse, her sorrow overpowering her aversion to the ghastly sight and horrid stench. A well groomed man who pushed himself through the Bronze Companions explained to the priest king that the dead man was one of his slaves, his grief coming from the fact that he had lost property rather than over the loss of a life.
The well groomed man callously shoved aside the weeping women, now identified to be the dead slave’s wife, and knelt over to scrutinize the corpse. After several moments of searching for something, he suddenly got up and, with a disgusted look on his face, spit on the dead slave’s wife, exclaiming: “You will have to pay for the bag of coins I gave him!”
The priest king Reenk Roink got very angry at this display and immediately confronted the well groomed man: “How dare you treat even a slave like this? I will not tolerate this as your ruler!”
The well groomed man however seemed unrepentant for his action and instead snapped back at Reenk Roink: “Who do you think you are? Small, petty king! I served real kings before. Kings who had men like you eat from the scraps that fell from the side of their table. You would be unfit to take my slaves’ daughters’ hands in marriage!”
At this affront, the priest king pulled out his sword and struck the well groomed man across his face with the flat side, sending him whimpering to the ground. The crowd that had already gathered around the argument became outraged, but not at the well groomed man for his cruelty or insolence. Rather they began shouting at their priest king: “Brutal Tyrant! Brutal Tyrant!”
Reenk Roink signaled to his Bronze Companions to put down the rebellious settlers, using force if necessary. However, one of the Bronze Companions leaned over to the priest king and whispered: “Perhaps we should consider indulging them. After all, times have changed and the masses are less obedient to the gods much less the priest kings. These are people you have no bond with; their loyalty will be weak and their treachery will be dangerous.”
Heeding the sound advice of his trusted friend, Reenk Roink turned to the chanting mob and attempted to appease them: “Please settlers. I am indeed as much a servant to you as you are to me. However, for a society to function, there needs to be order, and I am the keeper of that order as chosen by the gods!”
One well dressed man from the mob spoke up: “No priest king! Despotism is the reason we are forced to leave our homeland in the first place. You must ensure that the rich among the settlers, being the best in education, temperament, and odor, have a decided influence pertaining to all matters of government. We demand representation!”
Cries of support from the well dressed people of the mob were heard.
Another man, who only wore ordinary clothes, and whose fingers were blackened with dirt despite being away from land for a month interjected: “We also demand equal representation!”
While this drew cheers from a large portion of the mob, the well dressed people were angered at the thought of being seen as equals with those who were just ordinarily dressed. Soon a bitter argument emerged.
An old man wearing clean, elegant, though unextravagant clothes spoke up in a conciliatory tone: “Please my sons, we are all small under the gods, and we all should have a voice. At the same time, there are those among us whom the gods have favored more than others, and they should be given a degree of superiority, as is their right according to our traditional ways."
Such an eloquent appeal brought tears to Reenk Roink’s eyes, but the sentiments of the priest king were not shared by the two groups, who both rushed to beat the old man, and in doing so, began to beat each other.
Soon women and slaves and even children spoke up, demanding representation, and at this, both parties could finally find a common ground: “Never!”
Seeing this agreement, the priest king Reenk Roink quickly had his Bronze Companions to separate the mob and spoke: “It will be done as the old man has said. The good men among you will have the voice of two men among you who will also have a voice. This is what I have decided, and it will not be overturned!”
With this the priest king was about to storm off, the grand opinion of his people broken forever in his mind, when he noticed that the corpse of the dead slave was gone, and a pendant lay in its place! Examining this pendant, Reenk Roink noticed that it bore the symbol of Vode, the god of wars and foreign peoples. The priest king did not know what to make of this omen as the ship sailed on...

Bring out your dead!
Bring out your dead!"
etc. while beating occasionally on a large triangle with a wooden spoon.

Would this international Communist Conspiracy have anything to do with... the Chinese???
So Miss Johnson returned to her typing and dreamed her little dreamy dreams, unaware as she was of the cruel trick fate had in store for her. For Miss Johnson was about to fall victim of the dreaded international Chinese Communist Conspiracy. Yes, these fanatical thieves under the leadership of the so-called Mao Tse-tung had caught Miss Johnson off guard for one brief but fatal moment and destroyed her. Just as they are ready to do anytime free men anywhere waver in their defence of democracy. Yes, once again American defence proves its effectiveness against international communism. Using this diagram of a tooth to represent any small country, we can see how international communism works by eroding away form the inside.
(diagram of tooth rotting from inside and collapsing)
When one country or tooth falls victim to international communism, its neighbours soon follow. In dentistry, this is known as Domino Theory. but with american defence the decay is stopped before it starts and that's why nine out of ten small countries choose American defense ...
... Or Crelm toothpaste with the miracle ingredient, Fraudulin! The white car represents Crelm toothpaste with the miracle ingredient, Fraudulin. The non-white car represents another toothpaste. Both toothpastes provide 30% protection. At 60% protection both toothpastes are doing well. And now at 90% protection the ... wait! The non-white car is out, and the Crelm toothpaste goes on to win with 100% protection! Yes, do like all smart motorists. Choose Crelm toothpaste.
...Or Shrill Petrol with the new addititve GLC 9424075. After 6 p.m., 9424047. Using this white card to represent Shrill's new additive GLC 9424075 - after 6 p.m., 9424047 - we can see how the engine deposits are pushed off the face of the earth by the superior forces available to Shrill.

Yes, praise the Great Men and our Glorious Leader! Who among us can honestly say they don't want to worship the Gods and the Godlike Good Great Men? I am unworthy to roll in your spittle.
These men are greater than us, filthy animals that we are. I have never seen a book, only a wooden pole with a sharp metal point for toiling in the field. I made it myself using the generous supplies granted upon me by the Godlike Men, that I might serve them more efficiently and more industriously. If we are to toil in the field, why should we not toil as hard as we can? Though the Immortal Men may find our lives despicable and expendable, our breeding suspect, our breath foul, our hair matted, and our smell unbearable, they will still try to avoid running us down with their horse drawn carriages, because we could break one of their wheels.
Tis a miracle they don't use us for archery practice. You must thank the Gods for these blessings, and enjoy the rich fulfilling lives granted to us by the Glorious Leader. Not everyone is so blessed to be able to eat gruel and sleep outside. Some people have things much worse, I hear, over in that nation that I've never personally visited. God bless our Glorious Kingdom, the Best Kingdom ever! All Hail the leader! All Hail the Fantastic Men who have incredible voting superpowers!

I am merely a businessman, I have nothing to do with the level of taxes. They are a burden we all share. If you do not enjoy your tax burden take it up with the government, not me. I am simply the man you borrowed money from in order to make adjustments to your hovel. And judging from the giant satellite dish sticking out of that pile of mud over there, I can see where you put the money.
You could have invested this capitol in something more profitable, and enjoyed it's fruits at a future date, instead you chose the route of instant gratification. Education, business, crops, stocks. No...

Their influence goes beyond just the duels.
As a comparison, my battle rating would be 7. I am one of the greatest warriors on the earth.
Also the game should be starting sometime in the next few hours. Those who have already gotten their PM's can send me their night orders already.

You are Chuck Norris
Background: You have created the Heaven and the Earth, God and Mankind, and all that just by roundhouse kicking a little ball which blown into what humans know as Big Bang.
Battle Rating: 999 (Ad Infinitum) - Noone can touch you. If they do they are immediatly desintegrated into fragmented quarks. You kill anyone you wish to duel just by declaring a duel with the said person. The person isn't even allowed to reject. Their heart in just blow up, their organs cease functioning, and they suffer from severe internal bleeding. All that just from fear.
Victory Conditions: You have already won just by playing the game. There is no need even to return to this thread ever again. Soon enough, some moderator will change the title to "The Settlement (CONCLUDED)" (Chuck Norris victory)

Dear sir, do not take my jest as a threat of job redistribution, as though we were living in a dictatorship. No one is going to prostitute you.
Your frustration is with the lot in life you have fallen into. I see this. But should you blame this on others who lead a different life? Have not some of them risen from your very ranks?
And yet there are men here who threaten violence upon others, claim they have hidden arms waiting to be brandished in the name of bloodletting and wealth redistribution. What good would that bring upon this ship? We stand now as a people trying to survive until we reach out final destination, let us not make that destination here and now in these frigid waves, that hunger like an ice demon's teeth.
Would it be just, here and now, to upset our peace with the letting of blood, out of jealousy and greed? I would say sir, that if anyone here falls to such goals, they are prostituting themselves.

Well spoken. I may have misjudged you, if this is your true sentiment. I will gladly support any man, be he poor or wealthy, if he works towards the peaceful betterment of us all. I most certainly do not support the re-distribution of wealth to those that have not earned it. All men must work for their own meals, and if some work harder than others, then they should rightfully enjoy the fruits of their labors. However, it is critical to ensure that all men are given equal opportunities and equal treatment. It the lands we left behind, it was common for men who worked very hard to earn far less than those who did nothing except emerge from the proper birth canal.
So, my fellow settlers, let us not speak of class and birth right, let us simply speak of merit and value as men and women! Let us judge people based on their deeds, not their rank. If someone is found wanting, let us thrown them down, regardless of whether they be high or low-born; and if someone is found to be worthy, let us honor them up with praise and encourage further good labors!

ooc-
Better for a townie with a mediocre role to die than someone with better powers. I accept conditionally, if a bunch of people want me dead, then I will duel. I find your reasoning for this duel to be unusually stellar, by the way.
My mouth usually gets me lynched rather quickly. So there is zero chance I will survive this game.
There's always a chance the usurpers will want me dead nice and quickly. Letting me live hasn't worked out too well in certain games. You'd like to extinguish (presumably) two loyal settlers for what amounts to a peeing contest.
Suit yourself. :shrug: But frankly, I don't see the logic in this. And I don't think it's particularly good townie strategy. This is similar to everyone being a mediocre vigilante. As you know, those with vigilante powers are wise to refrain from using them unless they have good reason, because vigilantes do tend to cause as much damage as the mafia does if they kill every night.
Oh, and I've been r'ping a spineless peasant FOR FUN since well before I got my role, since the very first Good Men versus Men list.
I am willing to be the first lynch, I will vote for myself and not unvote. I am willing to duel. But I won't do it on a whim. As much as I enjoy roleplaying, I would be doing a bad job as a townie or as a mafia. And by the way, given this little interchange, and my resistance to death, will get me killed one way or another anyway, so mission accomplished, white_eyes.

If you wish to fight, do so on your own terms, and do not put this on the heads of others.
And you sirs, what is this rabble rousing and speaking of your selves as beggars? We are men on a ship seeking a new home. If you wish a new life, then make it so. If you can do nothing but live off of others as someone who must constantly ask for a hand out, how is that less of a parasite than of what you speak?
And taxes? We are citizen just as yourselves. We bare the tax burden just as you do. Many of us are no richer in money than you. Most of us toil in our labors, just and many of you do. And indeed, what respect would the state have for a wealthy man were he not to fork over more money to the treasury than another man?

Here comes the senseless slaughter, as it is now too late to do anything to save my butt, I now must at least expose White_Eyes as being a role-less townie. That should at least help a little bit, given the mess. Might as well investigate him to be sure, after all... that means the mafia will probably want to murder him too as a cleared townie.
My initial PM was entitled: "Why I do not want to duel"
(Reposted here with White_Eyes permission)
BECAUSE I AM THE MASON, DANGIT!!!!!
:wall:
Lucky shot if you are mafia. And I accepted your duel.
If you are even a shred of a townie, you'd better drop this. I know I will die early this game, as I always do. I always freaking die. But I expected to last longer than the first round, thanks.

So yeah. Thanks for the duel. You will be sorely disappointed. I have a whole 2 rating.
If you want to back out; here is the only way you can do it and have me even have a chance at survival:
You have to be persuaded by logic and by popular support to back down, or we are BOTH screwed.
And if you do kill me, I will be very, very pissed, but you know what? I did all I could.
Believe me or don't. Take this public or don't. Call for my investigation, but even that will force me to be murdered by the mafia. I don't care.
This opening blunder hurts. But I will stay on and analyze after I am dead, because I at least know one other person who is innocent. But if you're mafia and you don't back down, I am not telling you who it is.
In fact, to be safe, I can't tell you who it is. Sorry... given this disaster on round one, I really, really have to do damage control, and I'm not making this mess any bigger.
Your gonna die tonight.....or I well......we well see.....if I don't, then this PM well go to my partner a "Good man" and he well make sure you and your "buddy" are lynched......and our roles are weird......:dizzy2: but I must laugh.....had you not acted like a spineless peasant you might not have drawn, Everyone's attention to the fact that you have a role.....:laugh4::laugh4::laugh4::laugh4::laugh4:
I am about to take this whole thing public.
I'm not happy about this. If I don't hear back from you, that is precisely what I am going to do.
I revealed to you that I am a Mason. That means, at any moment, you can murder me as the mafia, or expose this to the entire town. My life is in your hands, when I could have kept quiet about my role. The town was ALREADY against this duel, and I had to accept to save face.
You do what you like, but if I am murdered tonight, I will point the finger alllllll over you. One mason for one mafia is a GREAT trade.
And the rest:
:sweatdrop::sweatdrop::sweatdrop::sweatdrop:What is a Mason.....?(I am a townie after all.....:rolleyes:) and I am trying to save your Butt......hopefully the Mafia think you are suspicious enough to keep around.....I have no idea what a Mason role is though:sweatdrop:
........~:pissed:
Not happy.
A MASON is a TOWNIE who is aware of the existence of another TOWNIE whose innocence was confirmed by the HOST.
You didn't save my butt. You mentioned the contents of the private message. As such, the fact that I have a partner is exposed.
You have about ten minutes to persuade me not to post our entire interchange. No matter what you do or say NOW, it's too late. At this point, I feel as though the town needs to know what really happened.
no wait......:whip: I am just a townie.....even if you spill your guts you will only endanger your partner.....I didn't say you HAD one....I said he POSSIBLY had one....:smash:
It's a bit late. It's there for everyone to see. Why would I suggest I had a partner if I didn't have one, THIS EARLY???
I soooooo want to post this interchange.
well.....not much choice if you feel that way....I can't do anything....I am just a normal townie......:beam: besides....you did this to me before and you were Mafia then....:wink: and even if you take a chance now and reveal....it's too risky, since you might get your partner killed......:smash: and what well it accomplish??? killing you, me and your partner???
The way I see it, my partner is safe. Because no one knows who he is.
I'm as good as dead, due to your post in public about me revealing I had a partner. That means I am a mason, every mafia veteran knows that means I am a mason or the mafia. So I am dead.
You? That is the only reason I am reluctant to post this mess. I'm deciding whether or not to spare you, for killing me.Your partner is (SNIP) .....now stop messing around.......:smash:
I am deadly serious. I already have all the PM's lined up in one big fantastic post, and I am itching to hit the post key. This will be my most spectacular exit from a game ever, AND I will have proven a point about how futile and senseless random duels are.
You need to tell me more about your role. If you have anything besides your basic townie, you have to tell me now, and in full detail, like I did.I was rolefishing......and I found a Mason or Mafia......ME? a Farmer:brood: with a duel rating of two........
Mmmk.
Well, It could actually save your butt and mine from the lynch. With a calm, rational head, I am now asking permission to post it.
(he gave me permission)
And so, posted with permission.
The way I see it, damage control is this: Yes, I am a mason. But I have no additional abilities, so that basically means I am just a townie who knows another townie is innocent. And white_eyes has no special ability either. And we would both make excellent murder bait, so I am happy with this being made public.
LESSON EVERYONE NEEDS TO HAVE LEARNED:
Pointless duels have disastrous consequences. Don't be too hard on White_Eyes, but we as a group need to not do this again.
:shakehands:
~:grouphug:
:bow:
You live, you learn, right? Bottom line is, Because neither myself nor White_eyes have a valuable role, it is perfectly OK to make this public. Being a mason is worthless without defensive powers and such. In order for the mafia to make sure I am not bluffing about having no special ability, they have to murder me anyway. That's good for town. If they murder White_Eyes instead, that's also good for town, if he's telling the truth. And finally, if this puts a stop to the senseless duels, then it will have made something positive happen for the game in progress. No real harm done, just some hilarious, hilarious and sad mistakes. :medievalcheers:
EDIT: White_Eyes edited out his mistake, but it was over a half an hour too late, and it's been quoted several times.

a) sum up in a very concise post exactly what's happened, and
b) explain if what has happened has produced anything of worth?
Askthepizzaguy
03-12-2009, 18:02
Summary:
1. White Eyes challenged me to a duel
2. I was reluctant to accept the duel as I have a battle rating of 2 and I am a MASON
3. I begged him in private to drop it immediately, because I was a MASON
4. He posted that I had revealed in private I had a partner.
5. It was then quoted several times.
6. After debating it privately, I decided to make it public. It might save one of our skins.
As we both have no valued abilities, and terrible duel power, it was the only way to fix things.
a) ATPG and W_E challenged each other to a duel, even though it's night and they can't.
b) The only result is ATPG and W_E presenting WIFOM claims that they are townies.

And white_eyes... seriously, leave the duel alone. It won't prove anything to anyone. Some are skeptical as it is, but I gotta tell you: If I am lynched tomorrow, that would be a fitting reward for trying to reason with you in private.

Sorry, I spoilered it all. And I wasn't going to leave anything out of that gem. It seriously needed to be read in its entirety.

Again, I wish to be clear on this; I'm perfectly fine with being the first lynch, because I have got cow manure for a role yet again. I'm the wheat farmer, and I've got close to nothing for duel abilities. I'm just supposed to find the usurper, but I do get a duel bonus whenever it rains, apparently.
This is seriously the best fake role I could come up with on the fly. :shame:

Pretty close, Consistency... I think...
That whole thing has just cast a little suspicion on the two of you in my eyes. Of course its probably just an accident that got out of hand... like it looks... but it could of course be a well planned strategy to almost assure innocence is assumed...
This is why i feel i must react with a little suspicion to the whole thing...
Im glad your not dueling at least!
Back in midgaard we tried to control the dueling to an extent, though TBH it never got done right, the only time a mafia was involved in the duel he was up against a normal townie and won without it increasing his suspicion. I think there where only 2 players that game that could beat mafia in a duel and one of them was lynched first round...
What we need to make town organised duelling work is some kind of duelling expert... porbably only 1 or 2 here that can beat mafia.... and then a clearly defined suspectlist that we can work from and almost pick the fights we want to see...
and this part is essential, we make it a town agreed event, anyone who doesn't agree with the majority decision should be lynched to ensure it is done by the will of the town...
ohh and down with the jerks!
I am not a humble beggar by choice, given no start in life i was left to fend for myself, ever since i have been a sick man barely able to work due to my numerous afflictions which came from a life on the street...
I'll be shutting up for most of the rest of the game, as promised. Did NOT see this coming.

How the usupers' plot was uncovered by the priest king only to have the settlers take control of the investigations
https://img15.imageshack.us/img15/4482/theisland.jpg (https://img15.imageshack.us/my.php?image=theisland.jpg)
:stupido:
In the depths of the night an man slowly limped across the swampy trails surrounded by partially constructed structures of the settlement. He stopped suddenly in a marshy clearing and simply stood there for a few moments until a dark mist descended from the sky. The mist formed itself into a humanoid figure and handed the man a scroll.
Nothing was said, as the man nodded and the misty figure dissipated. The man then limped slowly back to the settlement, towards the temple complex.
Meanwhile the priest king paced along the unfinished halls of his temple complex. It had been a dozen days since the ship was beached on this swampy strip of land that was now his settlement and a dozen more since the attack of the sea creature. The disappearance of the dead slave still weighed heavily on his mind and he examined the amulet of Vode wrapped around his fingers. What could it possibly mean? Why would the god of wars and foreign peoples send such an omen?
Reenk Roink had time to reflect on such questions in the silence the dark brought. During the day, the immense tasks that needed to be completed along with the bickering between the settlers on socio-economic issues scarcely allowed for contemplative thought.
Somewhat jaded that he was in such a situation with such people, the priest king began to walk back to his chambers. At the door he spotted a scroll lying on the floor. Looking around, he reached for a sword placed against the wall with one hand while picking up the scroll with the other.
Breaking the seal, Reenk Roink slowly unraveled the scroll. Written in the most exquisite script were the words:
Disarm your soul
A burst of energy suddenly emanated from the text right onto the priest king's handsome face. He was not even able to let out a sound as he collapsed to the floor.
When light entered the priest king's eyes again, he believed he had went to paradise. Instead he saw the concerned faces of his Bronze Companions and a few priests around him. A feeling of disappointment overcame Reenk Roink as he looked beyond to see a crowd of settlers around him, who were also somewhat disappointed that the one they looked at looked back.
Dismissing the settlers, the priest king then was told by his closest advisers that he was found lying on the ground unconscious. The entire hallway of the temple complex and everything in it was totally scorched. Everything but the priest king and the scroll found next to him that is.
Hesitantly taking the scroll from one of the priests, Reenk Roink examined it again noting that the words had been erased and replaced with the symbol of OsiOsi instead.
The priest king got out of his bed and told his retinue to gather the people in the gathering hall in an hour. He then turned to the priests to get to the bottom of what had happened.
In the Forest of the Gods, the god of wars and foreign peoples watched with a tinge of disappointment as the priest king Reenk Roink continued to walk about the earth. He turned to the god of the sky and questioned: "Why did you save him?"
OsiOsi, the king of the gods replied: "It is not for you to affect a matter that I have forbidden to the gods. You know well enough that you must act through your followers. If you plot anything Vode, know well that I also plot, and I am the best plotter."

A few things:
It's a remarkably BAD idea to go around discussing your duel ability or your role, or challenging people willy nilly. The more information we give the mafia the easier it is for them, and we don't know a whole lot about the dueling system yet. I'm wary of it after midgard where the system was misunderstood and it was thought that people were confirmed guilty/innocent from the description even when they weren't.
Second, the value of mason's is that they can confirm each other. By simply ignoring WE's post atpg could have avoided the whole thing. When you are about to be lynched, that's when you say "I'm a mason, I have a partner". It's a really strong claim because the mafia would have to reveal one of their own in order to make it. Now, in this game role reveal is allowed after death (just not pm quoting) so if your partner comes under fire you can step in to save him if you two are masons.
I wouldn't assume anything about anybody at this point.

Didn't get much sleep.
In my defense; I played it cool for several long minutes, several posts, even after the duel was insisted upon. I did panic, because of my terrible duel strength, and the fact that if I didn't even make a show of accepting his duel, I could easily be branded mafia or someone with a role. I could have just ignored it, but as I say; pressure does things to people. I was absolutely sure I was going to be exposed, even though to the rest of you, it might not have seemed that way. He was dead set on duelling me, and I played it as cool as I could until it got out of hand and I had to nudge him in private to stop, by revealing my role, possibly to reason with him to stop. After that, my role was exposed for everyone to see and it was too late.
My mistake was panicking under pressure. It happens to the best of us. I even use that as a strategy to get mafia to talk, even when I have a weak case or a fair but not conclusive case (See TevashSzat in Godfather). I know full well pressure gets people nervous. I am not superman... I panicked.
I have never been a mason before. I'm sorry, I didn't know what to do, and I played it as best I could, fake role and everything, duel challenge accepted, good humor, happy smiley faces, private reasoning to stop.... nothing worked.
I apologize. :shame:

Sasaki is correct. Fighting each other is a bad idea. The odds are that it will simply result in good, hard working men killing each other. Such challenges have never served any people well when trying to root out the evil in their midst, and I see no reason why it would serve that purpose here. The way that works best is the way of our forefathers: reason, debate, and analysis. All else is folly.

Okay, apparently we aren't learning from our mistakes.
half of the entire reason I revealed all our pm's White_Eyes was to put a stop to this nonsense so we wouldn't accidentally relieve ourselves of MORE pro-town roles (or even basic townies) If you don't stop trying to duel people, especially with your stated poor duel rating, then you're being suicidal and possibly homicidal.
I am inclined to paint you as not a farmer, but rather as a jester or an actor trying to get lynched on purpose. Or as a person with a large duel rating who is using a bad strategy for the town. Whatever it is, I suggest you take a breather, re-examine your path forward, and realize you won't accomplish your goal, whatever it is, this way.
Drop the duels, White_Eyes, I am begging you, for the love of crumbs, just drop it. :bigcry:

Holmgang was a blast, but aside from Gods being revealed when they faced one another it was limited as a detection tool. It really only showed when one party was significantly weaker than another (at least usually, but not always) but not why the strong one was stronger.
Both have claimed peasantish roles with a score of "2." Do we know if this is a high or low score this time around? I'd guess lower is weaker, but assuming with Reenk in charge isn't necessarily wise.
Also, I like the reference to plots and counter plots -- signals that the mafiosi aren't the only power roles here (though that is not a huge surprise).

So I took the ferry over to Shelbyville; I needed a new heel for my shoe. So, I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on them. ‘Give me five bees for a quarter,’ you’d say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn’t have any white onions, because of the war; the only thing you can get was those big yellow ones.
I like onions. I use them when I play.

While most common men and good men alike pressed their ears to their palms and dreamed.. of lands they once called home, and of the land that suddenly had become home, in which new hovels, bijou beach house apartments - testaments to their enduring power of the Roink might be built*: Part of the settlement (the part with the fire, roasting jungle chickens and ahem. crude songs) still buzzed with the conversation of an increasingly inebriated few...
"Farewell an' adioo to ye fair Reenkish ladieeeess, I'd give you a screewwww if you were my chippy's maaaate, though your legs are..."
"Shut up a minute! Theres queerness afoot on this here island and no mistake, an' all you can think on is gettin' yer bleedin' end away!"

etc. etc. long into the night the settlers huddled around the flames. Whether it was simply the fraternity and companionship that held the fire's circle, or perhaps an element of fear and uncertainty which had insinuated itself into their clan, the men, and yay, even some of the good men, drank the hastily-decanted apple-booze, ate their first, gravy-glistening taste of the island's bounty and forgot about their troubles.. for at least a short while.

I will take one last stab at figuring out what's going on. I don't have anything to lose at this point.
Reenk said that he is a 7, and one of the greatest warriors on earth.

Actually no, this is too compromising on neutrality no matter what I do. So you may issue joke challenges but they never will be accepted. You also can't vote for me. I'm the freakin priest king! :snobby:
Phew! I'm saved uhhh I mean well only if your certain oh wise and noble peacemaker :sweatdrop:

Ok, well in that case I will refrain from posting my theory that the mafia are trying to kill Reenk Roink, not the town. being the usurpers, that would make sense. But if the host is saying categorically that you cannot challenge him, and cannot vote for him, then you probably cannot murder him.
The circle around the fire contracted as settlers slowly made there way to their own shantys and shacks. Some had been shaken when the beast of the oceans had attacked, others had simply been talking for days on end with no sleep, but all were tired and the wine was running low*
*A casket of the finest vintage 'Wifom' had been cracked open in celebration of a successful landfall from the cellar of one of the most noble of 'good'** men. The wine was heady and fruity and got it's name, ironically, from the tongue of the common peasantry: 'Wifom' stood for 'Wife or mother', due to the fact that the sleep of those who drank it was said to be akin to nestling at the breast of whichever provided solace to all men, in their dreams

Good role playing though I must say :wink:
I am confused.
ATPG, why are you always so keen on getting yourself lynched? It doesn't help your team one bit, no matter which side you're on.

Well, this game, I wasn't keen on getting myself lynched. But when push came to shove, I had to play it off like I was ok with dying. However, in games like this with plenty of complex pro-town roles, I very much intend to be the first to go if I don't have a protown role, because we needn't lynch a pro-town on the first round, and there is almost no chance of catching mafia that round, with the mafia at full strength, and the town clueless and divided and paranoid and randomly voting.
It serves in town's best interest to get rid of someone who will not hurt the cause if they are dead, unless you want to in a complex game take the risky shot of killing a mafia round one instead of a valuable pro-town role or an unwilling innocent (much, much more likely) If you disagree with that tactic, that's cool. I think it is sound. But I wasn't going for it this game, because of a certain little secret I was trying to keep to myself.
Besides, it does help eliminate me as a suspect, and you townies simply CANNOT resist lynching me. I'd prefer you do it on a non-critical, early, "townies are divided and clueless" round rather than a late "make or break", "townies are informed and on their game" round, where it's now up to them to defeat the mafia.
If I am alive at that point, frankly, I don't trust you guys to avoid lynching me, because no matter what I do to prove my townie status, no matter how suicidal, no matter how risky my play, I am always a top suspect for you guys, even though the odds are just the same as yours that I am mafia or town. I know you guys. When I survive past the opening, I'm too tempting a target, and you get soooo paranoid that everything I am doing is just the next greatest riskiest strategy to win and pull the wool over your eyes and laugh in your face when I win, that you just cannot resist. There hasn't been a game yet where half the town wasn't tempted to vote for me.
And, I cannot turn myself into a lurker, because that would get me lynched as well. I tried to play it in the middle this game, and that made me a target for White_Eyes duel obsession.
No matter what I do, I am the next great scapegoat. Beefy187, you have been dethroned.
Does that make sense? Hidden in spoilers.
