Swords in the Moon [Concluded]

[Andres]

I remember...you got me lynched and I turned out to be detective...

That's what happens to most detectives

TinCow once posted the perfect detective role pm in Scourge of Ephesus :

Detective

You are the detective.

During the night, you detect.

During the day, you have to avoid getting lynched by the stupid townies. You won't, though, because they're stupid. If you're lucky, you'll manage to detect a mafioso and reveal it to the town. Too bad for you they won't believe you and they'll lynch you anyway, making sure to never lynch the mafioso you revealed to them. Stupid jerks.

When all mafiosi and other bad guys are lynched or killed, you get to be vindicated and say "I told you so."

Good luck (you'll need it)

the host.

Which reminds me that new folks should pay attention to the Mafia Rules. Most of those posted are drivel, but there are still many that are worth reading, particularly #1:

Where's the rule about not giving known mafia members info about the detective?

CR

[Haudegen]

Ok, let´s play Mafia

CR

Ah, this tale gets taller each time it's told. Now it's a "known mafia member"?

[pevergreen]

Excuse me, I think I have something in my eye.

What a turnout, one can only hope this game turns out as best it can.

[Thermal]

If there's more room, I like to play.

Welcome


Why is everyone fretting? He'll run away himself if you act like this!


Be interested if anyone dares murder you at night,, or lynch you for that matter

[Askthepizzaguy]

I'm sure Tosa's awesome ninja abilities allow him to see what foolish mortal attempted to kill him, but I think he's too nice to use it.

[Beskar]

Damn, where is Sir Beanie, I would have challenged him to a duel!

[woad&fangs]

In

[FactionHeir]

You still exist?

Welcome back

[Xehh II]

Am I in time to say in? I hope I am.

[Andres]

Am I in time to say in? I hope I am.

Just in time

[Xehh II]

Ok, in.

[TinCow]

Wow, 59 people. Note to self: do not murder all the newbies, we want them to keep playing mafia games.

[Andres]

Wow, 59 people.

The little sanity I hold will perish during this game

[FactionHeir]

I am amazed at the number of sign ups considering there's several large games running already. Let's hope you won't have to WoG a quarter of players here.

I'm guessing the role distribution is going to be expanded a bit from what's in the first post?

Must make decisions, decisions...

[The Spartan (Returns)]

I guess I'm in.

Is it possible to be known as The Spartan for old sakes?

[Jolt]

Gigantic turnout. Mafia will probably have some uber-powers like killing 3 persons per night. Each mafioso.

You can change your username through the UserCP nowadays

[Thermal]

Andres I'm dissapointed in you, its clear 100 want to sign up, so accommodate for them

[ajaxfetish]

Looks like I'm too late . And with a personal invite and everything. Best luck keeping track of this mob, Andres, and a great game to all.

If I can handle 60, then 61 shouldn't be a problem.

You're in

Sign-ups will remain open until 19.00 GMT +1 (that's roughly 10 hours from now on, after which they will inevitably close).

I can already tell you guys that, considering the extremely high number of participants, I'll toss in an extra faction and spice it up with some additional secret role(s).

Oh, goody

Hmmm...Andres, any suggested material for RPing? I wouldn't mind

[Andres]

Oh, but there are tons of background information for this one.

I got inspiration from:

- James Clavell's "Shogun";
- the marvelous mini-serie based on said book (the miniserie is also called "Shogun"), which is out on DVD nowadays;
- Eido Josjikawa's "Taiko" (I've been looking for a Dutch translation from "Mushashi", from the same author, literally for years now. If anyone would know where I could pick one up, I'd be very much obliged);
- several movies, most from Akira Kurosawa;
- tons of information on the internet, to name but a few:

* http://www.samurai-archives.com/kvs.html
* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sengoku_period
* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takeda_Shingen
* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uesugi_Kenshin
* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kato_Danzo

I'm sure you'll find many more links on the time period and the most famous characters from that period in the Monastery.

[Sigurd]

116 posts and the sign in is not even complete... This will be a monster.

[Husar]

Yes, I also suggest that you make the first so and so many turns at least two days long because with so many participants the thread will be very, very big, a lot to read and coming to a somewhat sensible lynch conclusion can be hard in one day. You might want to keep the nights short though since there is usually less discussion and everybody just waits for the results. Just my two cents.

[glyphz]

The mid-boss was encountered and slain, with the Final one's whereabouts unknown. Still have to dodge sleep-inducing profs, finger-biting hardcovers, and soul-sucking reports, with only a half-full skills set, and much of the secrets and collectibles still undiscovered. Plus the built-in game-guide continuously monitoring my progress and bothering me to check my equipment ever so often. It also demands that I get a hair-cut before chapter's end! The nerve?!
Not even fully rested, a man cloaked in black approaches you and beckons you to follow. No doubt a sidequest, and yet after some hesitation, found yourself approaching the shadows where the mysterious man disappeared into...
Oh, and the game still hasn't given you the option to save...

um... post-exam rush?

IN if you'll have me. A possible replacement if you need one.

[PershsNhpios]

Hmm!

Well, I do not want to play the pessimist role, but I can only hope that this mafia game does not follow the usual 58% lurker pattern.
But I don't think I have played any game where the entire sign-up list contributed thoughtfully to the day phase.

If we have an active player base as large as Capo II, this will be very fun... and exhaustive.

Thank you for hosting this, Andres.
