Contagion in the Palace - ASSASSIN WINS! THE KING IS DEAD!

CITP

Welcome to Contagion in the Palace, an exciting game in which you (the players) are being attacked by a horrible deadly ASSASSIN! Oh noes! You see, your traveling group is secretly accompanying the king, who is in disguise as one of you, a normal villager. But you discovered a note from the League of Deadly Perilous Frightening Assassins Inc., explaining how best to go about killing the king - enter the group, gain the peoples' trust, and then kill the king swiftly, leaving no other bodies.

You all realise immediately that it is your duty to the king to swiftly root out the assassin. You all know who the king is, but there is no way for him to have gained that information, so some method of rooting out the Assassin is needed. As you are traveling along, discussing the best way to find the identity of the assassin, you come across an apothecary, standing outside her home, who looks at you with interested eyes and shouts "Welcome!". You all walk up to the woman, who seems interested in you.

"Buyers?" she asks, perhaps hoping for you to fill her pocketbook. You calmly explain your situation to her. She smiles and begins to chuckle. "I have just the thing. There's an old law that hasn't been used in years, put down by the previous king. It states that an executed man may, for the sake of his home's duty, make one request. By law, anyone who can fulfill that request and doesn't can be ut to death."

She then goes into her small, cramped shop and comes out with a large, red bottle. "This is a very potent poison, which will kill immediately. So I propose all of you pick someone to be executed, then that person for their dying wish pick another to die, and so on, until you've rooted out the assassin. Of course, the assassin will surely try to kill the king if he's chosen, so you'd best try to get him early, and don't let on who the king is."

You all seem appalled at this idea for a while, but as you all think about it, it begins to make more and more sense. You agree to follow this plan, and you all go to a nearby field to pick the first executee.

RULES:

1. All normal game rules apply. Votes and unvotes should be in bold.

2. If you are a guard, this is your PM:

GuardYou are a guard. The king is [~~~~]. You win if the assassin fails to kill the king.


3. If you are the assassin, this is your PM:

AssassinYou are the assassin. If you are killed, or any time you like, you will receive one attempt to kill the king. You win if you are successful. To kill the king before you are lynched, say
suicide kill: player
, with bold.


4. If you are the king, this is your PM:

KingYou are the king. You win if you live, and so will the guards.


5. Do not reveal the identity of the king. Do not pretend to do so. This will result in immediate modkill.

6. Do not pretend to have a suicide kill if you don't have one.

7. The first day will have a 3-hour deadline. The lynched player will have 30 minutes to make a vengeful kill, and the VK'd player will have the same 30 minutes, and so on.

8. Have fun. Don't be stupid. If you need to leave, tell me.

I'd like a decent number of players, though the number of players doesn't really matter. We'll start when we have a decent number.

HERE IS YOUR LIST

ARE YOU HAPPY?

list:
Primate
, TinVision, AniX, eldarad,
Gorrad, Nabby
, undo, cow,
scope
, poker

When we have a decent number of players, though probably in the next couple of hours. I want between 8 and 16 players, as 7 or fewer gets kind of random and more than 16 will just be insane to keep up with. If you want, the cap can be smaller.

I will reveal nabby's alignment once he makes a choice

I know I said otherwise in the rules, but I've decided to make the kills a
20-minute deadline
instead of 30.

Eldarad looks around. "It's come down to me, has it? Alright, then, let's have us this little poison. But before I do, I guess I choose..."

And then, he leaps toward Thok, pulling out a knife as he flies through the air. You capture him, but it's too late... Thok, your king, is dead.

Assassin wins.
