    Default Ostracism - Simple yet challenging game of mafia [Concluded]

    Do I see an open slot? If I do, then I proudly present you Ostracism.
    For those of you who havn't read my thread on the GAY (), this game is basically a traditional game with 16 players, two mafia. Only difference is that players will make a vote in private to represent the ostracism system in Ancient Athens.

    In this game, townies will role play as Ancient Athenians. Civilians all capable of changing Athens for the good. But two amongst you will play spy from Sparta and spy from Persia attempting to weaken Athens for their benefit.

    As you won't get to use the most useful mafia tactic, to analyze the votes and words of the players (As the players don't even have to talk if they aren't making votes on thread), this game should be very interesting one to figure out.

    To prevent players from working out the voters by honestly confessing who voted for who, system called Dumb tally counter will be used.
    I will purposely shift one vote to another so it is harder to figure it out.
    However this system won't be used in a close vote count.

    Simpler version of rules and system
    -Set in Ancient Athens
    -16 player
    -2 mafia, working together (Spartan spy and Persian spy)
    -1 kill per night
    -All votes on thread is invalid. You must submit your vote on a pm
    -You may only make one vote per round. You may not unvote. (For hosts sake, and to accurately portray the ostricism process)
    -1 vote randomly picked by random.org will be shifted to another player. This is to prevent tactics which defeats the purpose of this game.
    -May not quote pms. May not post screen shots etc.
    - Be nice to the host. I'm hosting a large game, and exam week is coming up. I have 5 essays to submit

    I'm looking for 16 brave players to test out this game.

    In please

    I'm interested in how the activity level is going to work though. Things will be quite hard to figure out once inactivity is factored in.

    As you won't get to use the most useful mafia tactic, to analyze the votes and words of the players (As the players don't even have to talk if they aren't making votes on thread), this game should be very interesting one to figure out.

    Interesting
    "Something can be done, by careful analysis, to sort out truth from propaganda and legend. But this is where the real difficulties begin, since each student inevitably selects, constitutes criteria, according to his own unconscious assumptions, social, ethical or political. Moral conditioning, in the widest sense, plays a far greater part in the matter than most people- especially the historians themselves-ever realize."
    -Peter Green
