Neverwinter Mafia - A Jokers Curse
Introduction
In the small village of Neverwinter a bustling trade community had flourished. Fishmongers and pelt traders, soothsayers and hybrid makers, poets and arms dealers, merchants and book yielders. All of these people had their own little lives, their own little stories, their own little way of getting by. The Towns guard would chant Lord Neverwinter's name and sing a song or two, all races could mix and delight in each other’s company and together they could help each other out. But that was soon to change when the paranoid came over the town...
It all began when just a year from now a cloud was sighted in the sky, it was shaped like a jokers hat, coloured crimson lying sleepy and low by Neverwinter Castle. After several months as it continued to cascade down on the Castle itself rumour has spread like venom, ‘It must be a sign for things to come’ ‘it’s red, does that mean the devil has arrived at our steps?’ ‘We’ve all displeased the Gods, now we will pay’
Despite the mad rumour the citizens had convinced themselves was true, it made its way to Lord Neverwinter. It was on the very morning message had got to him that the cloud exploded, disappeared, nothing was left. Soon the Town forgot all about the nonsense they had believe not so long ago and shrugged the incidence off. It was then that mortality rates rocketed, for a small town, deaths had reached double figures daily, with the common symptoms being laughter, any who laughed choked on their own pleasure and the town struggled to relate this incidence to the cloud at all.
Citizens were barred from going in and out Neverwinter eventually, to stop the curse spreading, laughing in neverwinter equated to dying in neverwinter. Yet when 15 adventurers were sighted leaving the town, a large hunt to track them down commenced going against there word hypocritically. They all left at different times when security were slacking or busy chanting to Lord Neverwinter, and there disappearance was noted by citizens in town, all different in nature.
Little is known about these adventurers, but it is thought that some of them may be the cause of the ‘lack of’ laughter epidemic, and perhaps some, the majority at least were looking for a way to quell it...
Rules
New elements
Decisions
There will be options to take, PM me in the day phase the location you are to be in (you must keep it secret) the locations in the Neverwinter wildnerness are:
Cave
Crypt
Gardens
Abandoned House
wilderness
Swamp
Choosing a certain location may endanger you or keep you safe without even knowing it, if i don't recieve a pm in the day the defalut location is the wilderness.
Lynching:
Usable once by every player
Lynching claims can be made on thread, however i will allow people to PM me in the day phase once and change there claimed on thread vote, meaning while it looks like someone may be lynched on thread, the outcome could be completely different, meaning lynching is almost as uncertain as murders are. With this being usable once it could create up to 15 false votes....
Neverwinter Inn
Tired? Want some place to sleep while adventuring? In the night phase if you want to hire a room PM me with one of the following:
Standard room - 10 gold
Luxury room - 30 gold
The effects of hiring a room are unknown
Each player earns 10 gold each day phase, it is up to them whether they use it to hire a room or not.
All other normal mafia rules apply
No PM quoting at all, outside of game chat is allowed but no role revealing! no screenies or anything that could influence the game out side of the thread.
Confused? PM with your worry or post on the thread I know theres quite a bit to process here.

Given my premature death in Godfather, I guess I will join here...
Now a question - why are you in the sign-up list? Also is it revealed if someone changes their vote (Like do we see a final 'real' tally with who voted for who?)
Sign me up and pm me on twc when it begins. This will be the first time I have played one with all these location rules.

I am in the sign up list as a neutral player, if i get 15 players i will remove myself, otherwise i thought i'd play along, unbiasedly along side you.
Also while you'll get a final lynch tally there isn't any way to know if someone in-particular changed there vote, i would assume townies would use this one off ability near the start and mafias near the end typically.

In that case, if you don't get 15 players I request to be removed from the list. I would not want to play a game where anyone knows the entirety of what is going on. Nothing personal towards you.

I will join.....as I got lynched in YLC's Mafia, thanks for that BTW...

.....J/K
"I wanted to die anyway

"
Neverwinter is a City not a town and its leader should be Haluth Never or Lord Nasher depending on the time period.... although another leader is possible; but in no way should his name be "Lord Neverwinter". Anyway, in the new canon Neverwinter is destroyed, so I wonder what time period this is set in...
In BTW, and call me Fenthick. (He's the most awsome cleric ever!)

)
Fenthick is from NWN 1, he's such a nice guy...
White_eyes:D 19:46 02-05-2009
Never played the first one....the second one had me going for about two days till, I stopped....then the "the mask of the betrayer" came out....played for one day......then said...."enough...my head hurts"...too many damn classes....
Lolz
Ares, whats with the ballons eh?
Reenk Roink 20:07 02-05-2009
Dude I was so pissed when Fenthick was killed.

I also always felt bad for Aribeth.
Love you shlin!
Although Neverwinter Nights fell short in a couple of ways (I hate 3d graphics for all games until recently really; too much open space and a boring first chapter), I felt emotions and such.
(don't judge me
)

Looks like a well-conceived game, however I am already in several games and this one looks too complex for me.
I likes me some simple games, though I occasionally host complex ones. Enjoy your reprieve from teh Pizzaguy!
*opts out*
Have fun everyone!

Just hang on a few more days... A trickle of dead players from the other games should find their way into this game soon enough.
I am however swamped. The last time I played several games at once was taxing. Should I die in one of the other games I will come and seek you out Ares.
