The COUNCIL OF THE MAGI is at hand.
Held only once every ten years the Council convenes to decide which of their number should be elevated to the status of Magus Supremo - Master of all Magic for the decade to come.
Only the first thirteen Magi to solve the riddles and enter the fabled Tower of Sorcery are able to form the Council; and with representatives present from the most powerful and ancient orders of Magic, the Council is always politically charged, very competitive and – according to legend – has even proved to be fatal for some of it’s less successful participants. At that time however, the Dark Sorcerors known as Magi Mafiosi still stalked the land ~ and magic was in constant use as a tool of war.
Thankfully those wild old days are long since passed : Over the last hundred years or so, the incidents closest to actual conflict have been marked by the occasional singed beard, or sleet-filled robe, as the perpetual squabble between the Order of The Unbridled Flame and the Order of The Icy Tempest continues with its own - barely sufferable - predictability…
…until now.
Despite the belief of the Council; that The Magi Mafiosi had been banished unto the eternal void for an infinity of harmlessness and boredom:- One of their infernal number escaped before the mass exile and; remaining in hiding for more than a century and slowly gaining in power, now seeks to return the shadowy order to its former malificent potency.
The Magus Mafioso has chosen the imminent COUNCIL OF THE MAGI to exact terrible revenge and seize the power required to release their evil brethren.
RULES:
COUNCIL OF THE MAGI is a mafia game for 13 players: Split into Day and Night phases as usual. Each day phase should last at least 24 hours - potentially more at weekends, but certainly no more than 48 hours. Each night phase shall last between 12 and 24 hours, or until I have all Night orders in and processed. Timings are sure to change and I shall state the deadline for posting votes and orders more specifically in the thread as we proceed.
Except for screen grabs, Players may post anything they like in the thread EXCEPT THE EXPLICIT IDENTITY OF YOUR ORDER OF MAGIC! For reasons that shall become clear in the thread; ANY MAGE WHO PUBLICLY REVEALS THEIR ORDER OF MAGIC MAY BE DISMISSED FROM THE COUNCIL WITHOUT WARNING!
During each Day phase the Council must vote for whichever Mage they wish to send into the void until the Magus Mafioso is correctly exiled. You may vote: Abstain, or vote: 'No Lynch', but one way or another, one of the Mages present will be exiled even in the event of a tie.
All the usual voting protocols apply: ie. Votes must be formatted in bold like so:
vote: boudica
If you wish to change your vote, you must
unvote: boudica, vote:Askthepizzaguy
Official votes and vote changes should not appear in posts which have been edited - although the last judgement on whether a vote is counted or not is mine. Don't mess with the tally etc.
Players who have been sent UNTO THE VOID! (lynched) or night-killed MAY NOT play any further part in the game without contacting me first. That means: NO posting in the thread and NO discussing the game privately with active/exiled/dead players unless you use me as a go-between.
Players may be kicked from the game at the hosts discretion. but if this happens it will probably mean they have blatantly ignored some of the rules.
This may sound hypocritical due to my variable online time - especially at weekends, but... PLEASE DO NOT SIGN UP IF YOU CANNOT COMMIT AT LEAST A DAILY CHECK OF THE THREAD.
ADDITIONAL RULES will be revealed in due course. Any further questions - please PM me, or ask below. Game will commence once we have 13 confirmed starters.
