Mini 720 - SPQR Mafia {Game Over}

[OhGodMyLife]

SPQR Mafia

The Republic is on the brink of annihilation, not at the hands of its enemies, but through the ambitions of one man - Julius Caesar. But there is a conspiracy brewing which threatens the dictator's dreams, and his life. The drama unfolds on the floor of the senate, and the aftermath will decide the fate of the most powerful nation in the ancient world. Welcome to Rome!

RULES OF THE GAME

1. I am the mod. My word is law.

2. I am fallible. If you believe I have made a mistake, for instance in a votecount, kindly point it out and I will fix it. If you have more serious grievances, please PM me.

3. This is a game. The point is to have fun. Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

4. Do not quote private communications with me or with other players. This includes your role PM. Breaking this rule will result in a modkill.

5. You may not discuss the game outside the thread unless permitted to do so by your role.

6. Votes should be made in bold, such as

Vote: OhGodMyLife

. When changing your vote, please

Unvote: OGML

. This is not entirely necessary but makes my job easier. For the same reason, please put all votes at the bottom of your posts. You may use nicknames and acronyms as long as it is reasonably clear who you are referring to.

7. A lynch suffers the requirement of a simple majority. If there is no majority at deadline, there will be no lynch.

8. Once a majority is reached, that player is lynched and no further votes or unvotes will be counted.

9. Once you are dead, you are dead. No more posting, not even a "Bah!" post. Save it for the endgame discussion.

10. This game will have set deadlines of two weeks per day.

11. In keeping with the deadlines, activity levels are expected to be high. If you don't post in a 72 hour period, you will be prodded. If you don't post within 48 hours of receiving a prod, you will be replaced. If you have to be prodded more than three times during the game, you may be replaced without warning. Please treat this game as a commitment to your fellow players.

Roles are being randomized and distributed. Please confirm via PM, by quoting your role PM back to me in its entirety, that you have received your role and understand your win condition. Any role which allows night talk may do so during the confirmation stage.

[OhGodMyLife]

A small group of men gather in the senate chambers to determine Rome's destiny. Pristine white togas and stone faced masks of civility hide the treachery in each of their hearts. Before the day is out, the fate of the Republic will be decided once and for all. Here on the marble floor, the debate begins.

It is now day one. With 12 alive, it will take 7 votes to lynch.

It isn't long before one of the senators begins to lose his composure in the intensity of the situation. Xtoxm, who at one point goes so far as to suggest his own immediate demise, is rounded on by a majority of his fellows and removed from the debate, violently. But which side was he on?

Xtoxm -

Conspirator

- Lynched Day One

It is now Night One. Deadline for night actions is 72 hours

[OhGodMyLife]

In the movement and chaos surrounding Xtoxm´s last moments, a blade flashes deadly across the throat of another senator. The strangely schizophrenic Pathetric has joined his/her colleague on the marble floor. A tense, mournful silence falls on the group only for a moment before the debate erupts once more.

Pathetric -

Conspirator

- Killed Night One

It is now Day Two. With 10 alive, it takes 6 votes to lynch.

One senator, Yosarian2, just can't seem to accept that Xtoxm was, in fact, on the same side as him. As he insists on going through the dead man's personal effects to be sure, a majority of the remaining debaters decide they've had quite enough, and send Yosarian2 to join his comrade in that long slumber.

Yosarian2 -

Conspirator

- Lynched Day Two

It is now Night Two. Deadline for night actions is 72 hours.

[OhGodMyLife]

There is a muffled cry as a blade stealthily pierces the heart of one of Rome's most renowned senators, as famous for his oration as he is for his fickle sense of loyalty. No doubt he would have been a great political ally to either side at the end of all of this, but alas, Coriolanus will speak no more on the senate floor.

Coriolanus -

Cicero, Neutral Survivor

- Killed Night Two

As Erratus Apathos is fallen upon by his fellow senators, he cries out in vain at those who strike him down. "Its you, isn't it! And you! And you!" Well, now he'll never know. But what is going on?

Erratus Apathos -

Conspirator

- Lynched Day Three

It is now Night Three. Deadline for night actions is 72 hours.

[OhGodMyLife]

charter takes a step back from the body of Erratus Apathos and sighs, absorbing the implications of another failure. But he doesn't get the chance to do so for long. With a sickening crack, he can see the point of a gladius emerge from from the center of his chest. Turning his head, he can see the emotionless eyes of a soldier on the face of the man who has stricken him with a mortal wound.

Now safe to come out in the open, dahill1 pulls his sword from the broken body of charter and swiftly turns on El Destructo. Tuberkulos and Assmaster try to flee, but the way is blocked by Glork and Incognito. Incognito's face is blank, but Glork can't seem to help but sport a satisfied smile. dahill1, the only armed man in the room, is cool and efficient as he dispatches the remaining senators, barely giving them time to cry out in fear.

charter -

Brutus, Conspiracy Leader

- Killed Night Three

El Destructo -

Conspirator

- Killed in Endgame
Tuberkulos -

Assmaster -

charter drags himself away from dahill1 as the latter approaches to finish his work. Incognito puts a hand on dahill1's shoulder to halt him, and approaches charter himself, kneeling before the dying man.
"I.. know your face.." charter chokes out, before his eyes roll back and he expires. dahill1 wipes the blood off of his blade, and Incognito stands and turns to his two compatriates.
"Gentlemen, I welcome you to the Roman Empire."

Imperial Mafia Wins! Congratulations!

[OhGodMyLife]

Nonvanilla Role PMs:

charter:

You are

Brutus

, leader of the conspiracy against Julius Caesar. Each night you may investigate one player, and you will be told if that player is Caesar.

You win when the imperial threat to the republic is ended.

Note: Positive investigation on Julius Caesar and Caesar Augustus

Coriolanus:

You are

Cicero

, the great orator. You'll land on your feet no matter what happens, so long as you survive this crisis.

You win if you are alive when another faction fulfills its win condition.

Incognito:

You are

Julius Caesar

, leader of the imperial mafia. Your allies are Gaius Octavius (Glork), your great nephew and heir, and your liutenant Mark Antony (dahill1). The mafia may only kill so long as Mark Antony lives, and the imperial dream would surely crumble if both Caesar and Octavius were to fall.

You win when the mafia equals or outnumbers the remainder of the town and at least one of Julius Caesar and Gaius Octavius is still alive.

dahill1:

You are

Mark Antony

, lieutenant of Caesar and a member of the imperial mafia. Your allies are your commander Julius Caesar (Incognito) and his great nephew and heir Gaius Octavius (Glork). You are the only member of the mafia who may make a night kill, and the imperial dream would surely crumble if both Caesar and Octavius were to fall.

You win when the mafia equals or outnumbers the remainder of the town and at least one of Julius Caesar and Gaius Octavius is still alive.

Glork:

You are

Gaius Octavius

, great nephew and heir of Caesar and a member of the imperial mafia. Your allies are your great uncle, Julius Caesar (Incognito) and his lieutenant Mark Antony (dahill1). The mafia may only kill so long as Mark Antony lives, and the imperial dream would surely crumble if both Caesar and Octavius were to fall.

You win when the mafia equals or outnumbers the remainder of the town and at least one of Julius Caesar and Gaius Octavius is still alive.

If Caesar had died while Octavius still lived, he would have recieved the following:

In order to honor your fallen uncle you have taken the name

Caesar Augustus

.

[OhGodMyLife]

I think that this game proves that most people on MS are too eager to bus their scumpartners. As Glork pointed out, if his scumgroup hadn't been hampered as it was his natural instinct would have been to bus dahill on day one, but he protected him instead and the scum managed a spotless win.

The design of this game started with the idea of forcing scum to keep multiple members alive to endgame and evolved from there. I would not repeat the role mechanic I used for Mark Antony, but not because it in itself is too swingy, which I don't think it is. Its just that it really limited what kind of town power I could include - roleblocking and tracking were right out the window, and I wanted to make sure he was immune to any investigative role I included. I also really enjoy heavily mountainous games. I'm interested in feedback on the Brutus-Caesar-Octavius mechanic as well if anyone has any comments.

Congratulations to Incog for playing a great game, as many of the players have already commented. But also to Glork and dahill, who despite apparently being disappointed with their own play deserve credit for taking down the win in the face of a barrage of suspicion on both of them.

I'd also like to say that I think Corio/Sim played a fantastic game. Survivor is a really, really hard role to play well, and one that I never thought as a game designer I would include, but it fit this game very well flavor wise and from a mostly mountainous standpoint - there isn't a more vanilla third party role. I'm not one to take sides in a game I mod, but I was disappointed when he got nightkilled.
