Storm's End [Concluded]

Storm's End is one of the strongest castles in the Seven Kingdoms. It is the main seat of House Baratheon, and before it, the ancestral seat of the Storm Kings extending back many thousands of years. The castle is said to be protected by spells woven into its very walls that prevent magic from affecting it or passing through it.

Lord Robert Baratheon took the majority of the Stormland forces with him. He left his younger brother, Stannis, and a small garrison to hold Storm's End. Following Robert's defeat by the Tyrell host at the Battle of Ashford, driving Robert away from his base of power, the Tyrell host advanced directly on Storm’s End, laying siege to it.

Two hundred and eighty three years after Aegon's landing, the small force of Stannis Baratheon sits in the fabled castle of Storm's End besieged by the huge Tyrell host whilst his brother takes to the field to take back Lyanna and depose the Mad King Aerys II. Stannis was ordered to hold Storm's End, and so he shall, until the end.

Welcome to another mafia game, based upon the events of Robert's Rebellion, specifically the siege of Storm's End (from G.R.R.M's series A Song of Ice and Fire).

Rules:
•24 hour days and 24 hour night phases. Phases may be extended if needed and if I require.
•You may talk after death. However, no out of thread info, etc. No "I can't say why, but lynch 'x'." If you do so, I will first give a warning, then ban you from talking. This may change depending on how many players I get.
•Don't quote anything I say to you, however, paraphrasing is fine. Don't discuss the time of PM's, or the length or writing style, as it means nothing.
•No screenshots, etc.
•You may talk to players outside the thread.
•You will vote for players you want lynched during the day, using the format, Vote: Visorslash. Votes must be in bold to count. If you wish to unvote, simply: Unvote; Vote: ATPG. You don't need to do a semicolon, I just think it looks nice.
•If you are replaced or WOG killed, please do not post in the thread anymore unless it is an apology. If you are replaced by choice, please don't comment in the game.
•If you think you won't be around during the night phase to give your night action, you can always PM me your night actions in advance.
•Votes that end in a tie, no lynch.
•No lynch is allowed.
•Don't edit posts with votes. I won't count them. Feel free to misrepresent the tally, I do my own anyway. If I can be convinced otherwise, I will change the rule.
•This game will have roles.
•If you miss three day phases in a row or 4 in total with any reasonable excuse or informing me why you will be WoG'ed. No exceptions for role.
•Have fun. This is not an option . If you don't think you'll have fun with this game... don't join it. Nor if you feel you won't be able to participate.
•Alignment will be revealed on death, not role.

I have heard of Song of Ice and Fire, but don't really know anything about it. Regardless, I want in. The rules mandate fun-having, and I am strongly Pro-Fun. Can you give us an idea of how vanilla this game will be? Sounds pretty factional, which interests me. :sneaky:

Put me down as a reserve in case you don't get 17.

:bow:

Oh! Yo quiero!! Innnn! :yes:

Thanks Visorstain!!

@Arjos @SalmonSoil (?)

Just need three more players and I can start this.

Hate to double post/bump my own thread, but a final piece of information before the game starts:

The game will start tomorrow regardless of how many players have signed up. However, depending on the amount of players, the scum team/town power roles will change accordingly.

Possible setups:
2 Cults and a neutral
2 cults
1 cult 1 mafia
1 mafia some neutrals
Mafia (members don't know each other) and some neutrals
1 cult

If there is a cult, there will be restrictions, etc to not make the game unbalanced. Every faction will get a chance to suceed.

I'll be in, please.

IN if it's not too late.:bow:

in if needed

Woo Game of Thrones IN

Alright that's everyone. I'm going to send out role Pms sometime today, and hopefully get the game underway.

Alright, all role PMs have been sent out. I will writeup a short introduction and then let the day start.

So, when is winter coming?

Begin Day 1

Stannis ground his teeth. The banners of Tyrell and Redwyne flapped in the breeze outside the fabled castle. No doubt they were feasting even now on all manner of delicacies whilst his men starved. He turned away from the walls and began to walk back to the keep. The Onion Knight had brought them much needed supplies, but onions did not replace anything of substance. "M'lord!" was the call from Davos Fleabottom. The man was a smuggler, but he had also saved them from eating the dead, he was certainly an interesting man. "There's talk of surrendering in the garrison. Some of the men think they're better off with the Tyrells." Stannis' teeth clenched as he heard the news. "Find them and bring them to me, I'll give them to their Tyrells, though not in the manner they intend." he said with a gesture to the catapults near the walls. Davos nodded and went off to tell the garrison about the traitors.

Cressen had warned him of this, and now it had happened. There wasn't much you could do to stop it though, almost a year of low supplies whilst the enemy feasted outside the gate would drive men to forsake their vows. Still, traitors must be punished, and the punishment would be death.

Day 1 will end 24 hours from this post at 1:30 PM GMT +10.

You've obviously deluded yourself into thinking he's your partner, when, in fact, he is your target. Happens all the time, really. Even the host gets confused sometimes.

Tally with 20 minutes to go:
2 Ishmael (Double A, Rickinator)
2 Double A (Ishmael, Makrell)
2 Ibn-Khaldun (Jarema, edse)
1 White_eyes:D (Darth Feather)

1 Darth Feather (Gaius Scribonius Curio)
1 HopAlongBunny (SalmonSoil)

End Day 1

"So none of you have any idea who is going to betray me, us? You all think that someone else did it?" Stannis said, the venis bulging in his neck as he talked. The men where looking at each other. They obviously had no idea. "Come back tomorrow and we'll do this again, and there had best be results." Stannis walked off back to the castle. Mace Tyrell had sent yet another letter asking Stannis to dine with him. Stannis crushed it into a ball and threw it away. Mace throught himself a sound tactictian, yet he sat here with a massive host doing nothing. The fool thinks he can win against Robert by feasting. Well so be it. Soon enough he will be feasting his eyes on the dead traitors. Stannis would see to that.

Tally:
2 Ishmael (Double A, Rickinator)
2 Double A (Ishmael, Makrell)

Just waiting for a few more orders. Round will end in the morning whether I have them or not. I will not be as lenient later in the game.

Alright round's over. Bear with me as I ensure my results are correct and do a writeup.

Oh and I have changed my name back to Visorslash because I was getting sick of typing it into the username bar then realising it was incorrect.

End Night 1

The cook, commonly known amongst the garrison as Riedquat was busy preparing what little food they had for the next day. Meals had to be portioned, drink had to be rationed, and he was in charge of it. Which is why when he heard the footsteps in the kitchen he turned around to yell at the intruder that no-one has business in the kitchens. The words died in his mouth as he saw the intruder carry as crossbow. Instead he asked, "Killing the cook? Gods be good man, have you lost your wits? You want to kill the cook, who keeps everyone alive? Stannis is no idiot, run along before I report you." the false bravado washed over deaf ears as the killer approaches him. "Get in the oven old man."

"Do you take me for a fool? Kill me now and be done with it you bastard. The Seven will judge you accordingly."

The crossbowman considered his options for a few seconds before firing the quarrel in between the eyes of the cook. At that range he was unlikely to miss, and the bolt ripped a bloody hole. The cook gargled blood as he fell to the floor, his life over.

--------------------

"Put your stick up, I fancy a bit of training. Always a good time to pratice." the man turned around to see a Sargent standing there. He tossed the man a sword and he grabbed it. Before he could think to swing, the man was on him, hammering blows left and right. He stood no chance, the blows reeling off until he fell to the ground. "I yield, I yield!" he shouted, covering his head.

"A shame, better luck next time then!" the sargent said with a glimmer in his eyes.

--------------------------------

Sleep came difficult to the men of Storm's End. Especially those asked to betray their leaders. He held the paper rose in his hand. He had unfurled it, only to note what was asked of him. Stannis was a hard man. He knew the Tyrells were less so. Maybe if they knew he had helped them, he might get a lordship or at least a knighting. That would be good. He would have something for his kids to uphold. A man does what he must for his children. With a heavy heart, he threw the rose into the fire, and walked out into the night to meet with the man. It was the right thing to do, wasn't it? End the siege for all? He did not know, yet he walked on, the choice was made.

Summary: Riedquat was killed!

When I've got nothing else to go off, I may as well target vote-only posts.

Actually Makrell is behaving really odd-fashioned. Yesterday: Makrell votes Double A for no reason which is fine. Then he votes Riedquat (who is dead), for the same reasons why he voted him yesterday (which he didn't)

My guess is he means same reason as the person above him cast their vote (no lead). I think he's clean.
Vote:Ibn-Khaldun based on vote only post. Ishmael's approach makes as much sense as any.

Anybody who claims they can build a case by analyzing Makrell's posts is either lying or fooling themselves. :rolleyes4:

You seem to know what he meant, then explain it to me.

I don't know what he meant. I never know what Makrell means. ~;p That was my point.

Voting someone who is dead is weird. And that is why I voted Makrell.

End Day 2

Maester Cressen, known around the garrison as Makrell for his fondness of fish was the chosen target for today. Stannis was stunned. Did they really think his own maester was plotting to betray him? Stannis didn't believe so, but they had chosen, and he must now do what was necessary. As he prepared to load the maester into the catapults, he asked for a word. With the calmness of a man who knows his fate is unavoidable, he told Stannis that throwing him into the Tyrell horde was a bad idea. Who knew how long the siege would last, and it would be better to keep him in the dungeon. Remaining rations were low and there was no need to waste good meat. Stannis saw his opportunity to keep Cressen alive and he took it, banishing him to the dungeons.

"You fools must choose better. Cressen was a good man, honest and loyal. I will await your choice on the morrow." he said walking off the walls, teeth clenched.

Tally:
1 Ishmael (Jarema)
3 Makrell (IK, Darth, edse)

1 B-Wing (Rick)
