The Rise and Fall of Vespasian [Concluded]

[Captain Blackadder]

The Year is 69 AD in the Christian Calender and the Republic of Rome has returned under the leadership of the Epicharis and Faenus Rufus. Rome has entered a glorious new age with the senate restored to its rightful place as the leaders of Rome.As the sun falls over the city and the moon rises the many Senators are happy. They are now powerful once more many of them have taken the chance to gain large amounts of money. Bribes are common and corruption is increasing yet there are still some men idealistic though they may be that continue to fight for the Republic and all that is good and decent. As time wears on they have some victories and some losses but overall they are beginning to win the fight. However not all is good in this land. There are rumours and plots arising in the provinces. There are men who feel that Rome is weak that it is unable to defend the Empire it has gained over the years. Whilst these threats from outside of Rome are scary there is more threats lurking from within. These men that wish harm upon the Senate and the People of Rome must be stopped for if they are not the very fabric of Rome may crumble and die. Without the Senate being strong the rule of Tyrants and Emperors shall return to Rome. The Senate was decimated naught but 5 years ago of its Nero loyalists the Senate could not survive a second culling. With the Senate dead Rome may very well fall. Men of great names like Vespasian are gaining in power as some think that perhaps that overthrow of the Emperors was a mistake. It is up to the Senate to defend Rome once more against the forces that wish for its destruction


This is the third in the series of Roman games. This is the first game that will not be based off an actual historical event and some of the characters in the game will be fictional as due to the deaths in the previous game there is not enough historical figures to make up the game. The rules will be the same as previous games. No screen shots and the such and such.

I'll play.

[Montmorency]

Is participation in either of the previous Roman games or any Mafia game at all a prerequisite?

[Captain Blackadder]

Not at all

[TheLastDays]

I think I'll give it a go

[Askthepizzaguy]

I'd like to change my status to reserve. If you don't get enough players I'll still play, if you get enough without me, I'll be a backup

[Captain Blackadder]

I am going to give this a few more days to get the numbers if not I will make a mini mafia based on Rome.

[Bow-wow-wow]

I'll play.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I'll play, even though I'm booked solid by commitments. Anything to help a fellow game host.

Welcome to bestrfc, should be your first game at the .org? CFC'ers know him well.

[Captain Blackadder]

Thank you everyone we will go one more day and then we shall begin with however many more people we get.

[Death is yonder]

It looks like you would want more players, so I'll try and set aside some time for this.

[Askthepizzaguy]

How ya doing, Captain Blackadder? Think you can make a decent game out of these?

[SoulBlade]

/in

[Ishmael]

Well I'm new to Mafia, and I'd love to join, but before I do can somebody link me to one of the previous games? I'd just like to check out the rules, time per phase and suchlike before I join in.

EDIT: As I'm about to go to sleep, would I be able to reserve a place for the interim and confirm in the morning? Hope it's not too much trouble.

[Captain Blackadder]

How ya doing, Captain Blackadder? Think you can make a decent game out of these?

Most certainly my brother came over for the week so I haven't being on the comp that much to write pm's so it will start tomorrow evening my time.

[Ishmael]

Well I'm still a little hazy as to how this will play, but I'll probably pick it up as I go along. Count me in!

[seireikhaan]

[robbiecon]

In, if there's room.

[Captain Blackadder]

Excellent that is the game full with role pm's to go out. Since it appears that we have some new players I will explain the rules and concept of the game.

The game is called mafia basically what happens is that you have is a group called the Mafia that know who each other are and they have the job to kill all the other players who are called the town. Now the game swaps between a day phase and a night phase. It begins with a day phase what you have to do is vote for whomever you think is part of the mafia. After 24 hours the votes are tabulated and then that person is killed and removed from the game. Then we move into night you may continue to post but there is no voting you send in orders based on your abilities and the mafia tells me who they want to kill. The game then swaps between these two phases until either the mafia are all dead or the mafia outnumbers the town.

[Ishmael]

I noticed in your previous games that there was both an 'Exile' and 'Execute' option when voting - are you still doing that? Also, will you tell us what the roles are or do we have to figure it out for ourselves?

Incidentally, thanks for being so helpful.
