Mini 579 - The Plagues of Egypt Mafia - Over

Ancient Egypt was a mighty civilization which lasted for more than 3500 years, and which achieved great prosperity and recognised monumentality. However, at some point, it seems the Egyptians constructed their greatness not by their merit, but on the hard work of thousands of Hebrew slaves. (At least that is what the Bible says!)

Now you’ve heard that this Moses guy, a stuck-up Hebrew, is there doing some magic to convince your Pharaoh to let the slaves go. He says he is acting on behalf of his God, and his God is very powerful, and his God can make Egypt suffer, and this and that… Bloody monotheists.

Although you don’t believe that some prestidigitation tricks will persuade the Pharaoh to free the so needed slaves, it is your civic duty to participate in the daily meetings organized by the Pharaoh. The objective of the meetings, where every citizen is taking part, is to find out who, amongst your community, are in fact the filthy Hebrews, and to do away with them as quickly as possible, before their magic turns out to be dangerous…

Game Status:
The end! The Hebrews (scum) won.

Enjoying the daily blessing of Ra

General Rules:

1. Behave well
2. Do not talk outside of the thread unless your role says you can do it
3. Always follow strictly the rules stated on your role private messages
4. Do not quote role private messages. You may paraphrase them but don't go too far.
Do not show your role-illustrations in the thread either

5. Do not write in excessively small text, or with a lot of colors, or in any other type of hard-to-read text
6. After you are officially dead, you are allowed to write ONE post, as soon as it is not game relevant
7. Talking during twilight is allowed

The moderator's decisions about these rules or about any other subject not contemplated above are supreme. If you break any of these rules, you will be modkilled and will not be able to play any other games I will host.

Also, please warn the moderator if you are going to be away for a long period of time.


Game Rules:

1. Each day phase, players will decide who to lynch by casting votes on that person. Once a majority is reached, the person will be lynched
2. Should a deadline be placed, a majority is no longer required to lynch a person. At the end of the deadline, the person with most votes will be lynched. If there is a tie, nobody will be lynched
3. To cast your vote on JohnPlayer, for example, write
Vote: JohnPlayer
. Always write your votes likewise. Votes out of this format will not be counted, except for those with messed bold tags (which I will correct)
4. You can also vote for a no-lynch day, by simply writing
Vote: No-Lynch

5. If you are unhappy with your vote, annul it by writing
Unvote
- then you can vote whoever you want. Always bold your 'unvotes'. Unbolded 'unvotes' will not be counted, except for those with messed bold tags (which I will correct). If you vote for two or more players at the same time, only the first vote will be counted.
6. Night phases will last a maximum of 4 days:
3 days in which you submit your night choice
(should you have one) plus 1 day for me to prepare the day break. If you have a night choice and don't send it to me within the 3 days, I will consider you have chosen not to use your ability. But remember: you
can
choose not to use your night ability! If that is the case, please send a PM to me saying you won't use your ability, so as to shorten night phases.

Hope you have fun!

Everyone confirmed except SlySly. However, he opened his Role PM, so I guess he's ready too. Anyway, I'm giving him one more day to confirm.

Meanwhile, let's start this.

Edit: He confirmed.

The sound of trampling, roaring and screaming woke up the entire city. The meetings hadn't even started yet but the Egyptian citizens were already facing the wrath of God.

Image

Hundreds of most dreaded wild animals – such as hippopotami, crocodiles, elephants, panthers – appeared from nowhere to sow chaos and death everywhere. The abnormally enraged animals destroyed buildings and smashed people as they went through the city. However, they seemed strangely attracted to one person in particular: kabenon007, who was meant to take part in the meetings that would occur that very day.

Naturally, kabenon007’s efforts to escape the animal fury were in vain. He was mercilessly trampled, squashed and devoured. Not many people saw his death, though, as everyone was running and screaming, trying to avoid the fearsome carnivores, in a hope to save their own lives – they didn’t have much time to care about others.

Some minutes later, the animals went away as quickly as they had come out. The Egyptians tried to figure out who was kabenon007 after all… but there was not much left of his crushed and half-eaten body. The scenario of destruction and death was a terrible sight – the haughty Egyptian city had just suffered the first plague of the Hebrew revenge… and they were quite sure it wouldn’t be the last one.

It was a group of anxious and extremely concerned people that gathered at the first meeting with the objective to fight this cruel menace. With less one person than the expected, as
kabenon007 was dead
.

With 11 alive, it's
6 to lynch

Well, I have the feeling, because of this rule and this food system, which implies that there are several types, that this will be a very complicated game :)

No pity for us newbies :D

Also, with 10 plagues (so I assume, 10 nights) and 12 players, the probability of at least one resurrect role is pretty strong.

I wonder how our lunch will come into play? Maybe "XXX is dead and there are pancakes everywhere!" I just picked pancakes at random, it isn't mine, who has pancakes for lunch, anyways?

I was thinking about a poisoner role, who can poison one type of food, maybe with a delay on the death.

would be a vote but I believe you are on 3 so far.
What is speculation on roles at this time going to do to help town?
Also

vote: Mr Stoofer
for having an abnormally large tongue in your avatar.

In the absence of much else to comment on, the pic of the trampling animals is extremely cool, though as I have a bizarre fear of crocodiles, it may keep me from sleeping for a while!

Hmm sorry, I've not played with hidden roles before. So you're saying town doesn't want roles to be known, while scum on the contrary want them revealed?

I have trouble with the idea. I've always been said on the contrary that town does want to get more info, while scum's power lies in secrecy.

Could you please elaborate ?

If we discuss the setup, it will give the scum more information than we want them to have. It's best to keep them guessing about these things as much as we can.

At any rate, and if what you said is true, I've not made much damage, as my speculation over a poisoner role is really far-fetched (and a scum role), and about the resurrect thing... well I'd have an argument to defend myself but it would give more info, and apparently this is bad :(
