Swords and D20's 2: Return of Anywhere [Concluded]

http://wzpo1.ask.com/r?t=a&d=mys&s=a...711aa935_o.jpg
(And to give credit where credit is due. )

Years have passed since our tales last chapter, and for the Kingdom of Nowhere it had been a good couple of years! Its armies had swept through the Dictatorship of Anywhere at all, subjugating its nasty people and conquering its evil cities! And through it all there was fierce fighting. Soon enough The capital of Anywhere at all, the metropolis called Somewhere close by, was sacked by Nowhere's army. Anywhere's back was shattered, and its nation chopped up by the conquering nation.

However, it became very clear to everyone that the former soldiers of Anywhere at all could not simply be reintegrated into the population without problems developing, and so Nowhere created the prison camps.

http://wzpo1.ask.com/r?t=a&d=mys&s=a...ges%2Fcamp.jpg

I know, a bit less fun loving then what we would expect. Blame Cerebus. But suffice to say The whole prison idea did not go over well for the Good aligned people of Nowhere. But..... there was no other choice and so The prison camps were allowed to exist.

Our tale takes place at one such camp. Where the complex politics of the camp are in motion, with Spies from La' resistance, prison guards, and a mysterious visitor.


(rules up, and more story soon to come.. )


All standard rules apply
Communication out of thread is allowed
Vote: No lynch is allowed
Day phases last 24 or so hours, nights last same amount of time.
And I would appreciate it if you guys could keep a running tally


New rules:
However, even though this is a normal mafia game there is a new element added to the game, and that is the fact that we are in a prison camp. Hear me out here.
There are two main types of townies in the game Prisoners, and Prison guards. Both have a conflicting goal in the game, even though they can still both technically “win” the game together.
You see, the new mechanic is that each night phase both types of townies have a ability. Prisoners have Escape, and Prison guards have Guard the prisoners.
The way things work are that each guard is able to block two prisoners trying to escape. Consider them worth 2 points. Each prisoner is worth 1 point. At the end of the night phase I add up all the points and compare.
Say 5 prisoners try and escape and 3 guards are protecting them. Prisoners=5 Guards=6, so the guards win and no prisoners escape.
For each point the prisoners beat the guards however, one prisoner is able to escape. Soooo…
If those same 5 prisoners sent in the escape order, and only 2 guards did the same then the score is, Prisoners=5, Guards=4 so one prisoner escapes.

Of note is the fact that if a prisoner escapes he gets a minor victory automatically, but if the town still loses, well that minor victory is all he gets. For a major victory he may want to stay around and see the mafia lynched.

That is about it. A backdrop of conflict, however can the town work together long enough to defeat a mutual enemy?

Swords and D20's was one of my favorite Mafia games ever (a throwback to the glory days imo).

Thanks Reenk, I am glad to know my first game was good :bow: I am hoping that this one will turn out as less of a slaughter-fest for the mafia..... :tongue: :laugh4::laugh4::laugh4:

I shall drown the sorrow of a failed sign-up and partake in your festivities. CDF, sign me in.

Sorry AVSM, sometimes people just don't sign up for these things. :sweatdrop:

I know for sure that my participation in Pirate ship mafia is going to go down to nill because of this, I just hope enough people are dead in it to get 17 people together. :juggle2: if not I will just have to lower the number of people in the game to whatever I scrap together.


also, if it helps get more players, I do not have any vacations planned so the game will not be cut short at all..... :sweatdrop:

I was going to bring this up...(Since it cost me and Beskar a Major Victory last time:laugh4:)

I keep thinking about the roles ATPG gets in these...last time, he was a barkeep? (who had to somehow kill his Rogue Detective Rival?:beam:) Good times...:clown:

Yep, a nasty barkeeper with a grudge against the other nasty barkeeper. They both wanted to kill each other.


:sweatdrop: I am really sorry about that Whiteyes, I just did not have the time. :sweatdrop:

Sorry for the double post, but some of my added rules are up. Also whiteyes, are you in?

No, it happeneds...besides, the Mafia were just slaughtered in that game:sweatdrop:
One of the few times Me, Beskar and ATPG were not trying to lynch each other...:shame:

Let's see if Reenk can have his revenge...IN

I predict total town victory within three day phases. In. :laugh4:

:soapbox:

Sounds like I missed a good time the first time around. Looks like I'm in for a treat!

IN.

sent out mass PM's. See if I can get some of the people from last game. :2thumbsup: really shooting for 17.....

IN.

In as per request.

Just don't expect anything more than a skim read on what I'm suppose to do till around Friday 16th October 2am EST (For you USA folks).

Hope that will be fine,

:bow:

I will sign up, since CDF-sky wanted me too. :blush:

RR - you're so dead! In!

:yes:

Excellent! almost there!

need to finish role PM's today...... Getting bumped ahead two spots kind of caught me off guard..... :laugh4:


Suffice to say I will start the game up either tomorrow or the day after that, so we have enough time to get the last few stragglers. and to give DIY time to finish his school stuff. :yes:

Come on people I just need two! :furious3:


:laugh4: Well role Pm's are done, just waiting for those last two people.

If we do not have anyone by tomorrow I will start the game as is.

Ok, I'm in.

I will play :bow:

Excellent. Sooo close.......

Oh and just as a side note, you need to reply to my PM :smile:

Done.

Also, signups are now closed. Role PM's will be going out in an hour or two. And we should start things off in 5 or so hours.

*Mooaaaaaaaaaaaaaan

Alright All role PM's are out. THe framework for the story is set.

I suggest most of you do a quick reread of the end of the first Mafia, Particularly the last writeup.


The story will be up in an hour or so, and with it the first day phase will begin.

Townieville was quiet….. And yet still Achoo sensed something….. it was in the air, all around him. He stood tense, his staff by his side, ready for anything……
He never saw it coming. A bolt of red energy spiked from behind him, cutting through the wards he had placed on his clothing, and throwing him 10 feet forward. A creature stepped forward from the darkness behind Achoo, huge demonic fangs and horns jutting from his head, wings flapping behind its back.
“I have returned Achoo. It has taken years, years of toil, years of pain. But I am back, with strength enough to end you and this pathetic town. Vengeance is at hand for you, you pathetic arch mage!” Hid clawed fingers flexed, and a grisly smile came over his face.
Achoos sat, blood pooling from the wound he had suffered. “This is….. Expected. I had always known that getting an apprentice was the stupidest move I ever made. I swear, You would think wizards would have stopped getting them considering all they are ever good for is getting their master killed.” A smile came over Achoos face as well, but this was genuine. “But I regret nothing. Spare the town Reenkis. Please they have done nothing to you.”
“Nothing!? You ALL played a part in my death. And so you shall all suffer. Foolish Achoo, Now you DIE!” The demon lunged forward, claws reaching out towards Achoos throat. The claws etched deeply into his skin. And in his final moments Achoo let out a garbled laugh. He whispered slightly as he fell to the ground. “in death you only make me stronger.”
Reenkis laughed “What does this look like to you? Star wars? Have fun in whatever plane you end up, because I assure you when I am done here I will hunt you even in death!” He turned to the town, and scoffed. “only one thing to do at a time like this. Gratuitous amounts of violence.”…..
The town was a burning wreck by morning. And Reenkis nowhere to be seen, Only a portrait of Achoo’s apprentice remained, a man Called Death is Yonder, now name Gesundheit, in honor of his master. (And no, just because that is his name does not mean Death Is Yonder is Gesundheit. I am not THAT stupid. If there is a role in the game with your name you have just as much chance of getting it as everyone else.)
….


The man looked up at the wall surrounding the prison camp, rubbing his hand on his face. The cold bleakness of night was setting in, and he could not stay out here for long. “well that is a problem I did not think of.”
Two other men walk up behind him, one a young rogue, the other a burly man hidden in a cloak. “need some help?” the rogue asked.
The first man nodded “Yes thank you.”
The two went to there knees and helped the first up and over the wall.
“So what are you doing here?”
“ohh just breaking into the camp. You?”
“oh we are doing the same. Small world.”
“yes I guess so.”
They all made it over the wall, and parted ways not looking back once as they went to different parts of the camp.
……
A portal opened in the camp, into the deep darkness of ngiht. And a gaunt and naked figure appeared. The creature looked around the room and nodded with his empty face. He was a strange creature, with a body without any marks or features, simply a blank slate waiting to be filled. His face was simply two grey eyes and a sunken in Mouth, with no cheeks to speak of.
A guard turned a corner, almost running smack dap into the creature. “What the hell?” He stuttered and fell back trying to free his sword. The creature was faster however, and with one punch snapped the guards neck and sent him flying.
The monster made a odd chuckle and moved in on the guard, teeth growing into large fangs.
……

They saw the death as soon as the morning bell was rang. His arms and legs were torn to pieces. And his face….. His face was just…. Gone, into thin air. It unnerved everyone, the guards, the prisoners.
The Captain of the guard, he was terrified, He was going to be court marshaled for sure! He needed a scapegoat, or maybe even a suspect. And he needed it fast. Drastic measures needed to be taken. Well, no other choice then. “all of you! We need to figure out who killed Bob, and Fast! Here how it is going to work. Each day we will all cats a vote, and whoever gets the most votes gets executed as the murderer!” The captain Nods, “Yes that is a perfect Idea! Well, don’t look at me, get started!”






Begin Day one. It shall end October 17 at 8:00 AM, to give everyone a chance to figure out the game is on.

Any questions PM me. :bow:

Dice gods like a Tally. :whip:


Also It has occurred to me that those who were not in SaD20's 1 might not know what the levels in their PM are.

Level plays a part in whether a kill attempt succeed or fails. Basically the higher the better. :yes:
say a level 7 attacked a level 7, The attacker has a 25% chance of the kill succeeding, due to how close in level they are.

however if a level 9 attacked a level 5 then he has almost a 90% of success. :yes:

:inquisitive:

So let me get this straight; you voted for someone and are upset that your choice is popular? Or was that worded in such a way as to betray a secret message you might be sending...

"evil"... hmmm... in this game there are presumably evil-aligned characters. That sounds to me like you may be trying to get them to contact you.

Or perhaps I am paranoid. Still, I feel you warrant scrutiny. There's something off about your reaction, and your wording.

I'm just curious as to why I voted for someone randomly and two additional people hop on :yes:

So because I used the word evil you want to gut me :inquisitive:

So your suggesting I'm an evil inclined person who is using the "codeword" so to speak to get the mafia or baddy to contact me? :dizzy2:

:wall:
Vote: ATPG for being third on the bandwagon

What vote on day one isn't a random vote? Anyone who votes for someone second or third is "hopping on the wagon", but all first votes are random. Why would it surprise you that someone voted along with you on the first day? That would be the case unless we all voted for each other in a massive tie.

Not really; just making note of a possible hint you dropped so it doesn't sneak under the radar.

Perhaps not mafia, per se. There are more than just town and mafia in this game, or haven't you read teh rules?

As a note: pretty good discussion for day one. :beam:

The host said anyone can play the character of DIY, even DIY, so vote DIY

And that's why we voted GH for the possibility of him being GH in Gameroom Mini Mafia...:laugh4:

There is a chance Atheotes won't lurk, but the moment he does, Iam lynching him, because it means he is mafia.

Ichigo always lurks, however and while Zain appears annoying with all his random threads, he most likely outright say he was Mafia on a high chance.

Correct tally.

I know atheotes has a vote on me. I'm sure he would wish for it to count, so why not add that one up there where people can see it.
