Welcome to the 5th Council of Venarta in the year 348
It is now day. Night will begin at 1800 GMT on 9th January.
Only a few months ago, this council was much larger, around 30 people would have been sat here. However, they have all died unexplained deaths, disappeared, or otherwise been removed from your number. Coincidence and outside motives have been considered and discounted, it must now be assumed that these removals are being orchestrated by someone (or some group) within the council itself. The council is currently leaderless, but due to the unfortunate circumstances currently, the election has been postponed until the plotters are found.
Killing during a council session is unheard of and would probably cause an outcry among the Lesser Representatives[1], so you should probably try to stick to imprisoning each other [in reality this will just be flavour for the "lynches"]. While they have no real power, you must be quick to show that you still do. If someone shows that the council can be outmanoeuvred and eliminated, they all might try to take power! Surely now is the last chance to stop whoever is carrying out these acts; that you are all gathered here to solve it will make it easy for them to kill you if they wish.
[1]: The Lesser Representatives are a much larger council with a representative from each town in the Venartan Republic sent to discuss policies. They are supposed to be able to influence the discussions and decisions of the Council, but in reality they talk and the Council largely just ignores them.
Day 1
The council entered the chambers for the first day's discussion one by one. The tension in the air was palpable, each knew this could be their last day as a council member, perhaps even their last day alive. When everyone was present the debates of what to do about this crisis, and who to do it to could begin.
Procedures/Rules
Shamelessly ripped from assorted people
If you break one of these rules, you will be either warned, replaced, or modkilled, depending on which rule it is and the severity.
The game will follow the usual day-night sequence. We will start with a day so that no-one is dead before the game starts.
- Dead players do not speak. Giving away any information after death will not be tolerated.
- Be bold with voting. A vote that isn't in bold won't be counted.
- Lynches require a majority of votes. Once a player has reached the majority, his/her pleas are useless and any attempts to unvote will be ignored. You may also vote for no lynch.
- NO EDITING YOUR POSTS.
- Do not post often during the night. A little small talk is allowed to keep the thread bumped, but keep night posting to a minimum. Do not reveal any important game information.
- Once your death scene has been posted, stop posting. You can make a farewell post or two, but no discussion of the game.
- No communication with other players outside this thread unless I say it is permitted in your role email. This excludes mafia.

I hereby, thereby, and by-the-by confirm my PM has been received. :)
-
I have received my PM.
-
Word has reached me.
-
Acknowledged.
-
The PM has been received
-
I've got it.
-
Now we just need Othko to wake up :) .
-
Acknowledged.
-
Let us begin.
The council entered the chambers for the first day's discussion one by one. The tension in the air was palpable, each knew this could be their last day as a council member, perhaps even their last day alive. When everyone was present the debates of what to do about this crisis, and who to do it to could begin.
It is now day 1. Day will last approximately 48 hours, so you have until 1200 GMT on the 1st of January to decide what to do (I may extend this if New Year celebrations are going to get in the way for people). Four votes to lynch, off you go.
-
Good morning fellow citizens. How art thou all?
-
Alive if not well thank you. The recent events have caused more than a few sleepless nights.
-
Sleepless nights plotting our downfall no doubt?!
-
I'd imagine whoever's plotting our downfall might be sleeping quite easily, given they've apparently managed to liquidate all but seven of us with minimal effort at all...
-
O.o Damn, maybe joining this mafia wasn't such a good idea. I'll be away for the next 7 days with 0 Internet. Don't suppose you'd postpone it for my return? ;)
-
We will wait for Khan, in case that hadn't become apparent :) .
-
And I have returned! I hope it wasn't too much of an inconvenience. :P We can start now.
-
Excellent, we will start. To give people time to see this, today will be more than 48 hours. It is now Day 1. Night starts at 1800 GMT on Friday 9th January. Good luck everyone!
-
Good morning all.
-
Hello; how is everyone? I mean, apart from the dead ones, I'm kind of assuming they're not OK.
-
As my wife Glados says, Still Alive.
-
Still breathing, so I guess that's passable.
-
Good morning. I appear to be still alive, so that's a good start.
-
When you begin the day without a dagger in your chest, you can call it a good day
-
Was that a threat, DD? :P
-
I think it was. *burp*
-
It may of been, can't be too careful with things how they are
-
*shifty eyes*
*looks down*
*no dagger in chest*
*sigh of relief*
-
I assume you have collectively decided you don't actually want to do anything today?
It will be night at 1600 GMT today. (I forgot to do it yesterday).
-
I'm going to Vote DD for threatening to stab people.
-
I vote Jubal for feeling threatened
-
Vote DD for threats of violence to the council!
-
I'll vote DD in support of my nephew. Though young, he has the wisdom of an old man, time will tell if my trust is well placed.
-
The council said their welcomes and after a little posturing and threats the room fell silent. People spoke in whispers amongst each other, and The Khan disappeared for a while. At the end of the day there was a flurry of accusation, and Dripping D came close to trouble as three of the remaining seven council members voted to lock him up indefinitely. Jubal began these accusations, and so Dripping D cried that he should be locked up instead. However a majority could not be reached, and all lived to see the sun set through the great western window before disappearing off to the various places they were staying.
It is now Night 1. Send me your night actions by around 0000 GMT on Tuesday 13th January.
-
How safe are you all feeling in your beds tonight?
-
I have all the night actions, I'll write up the result tomorrow.
-
(OOC: Going camping tomorrow, will be gone for a week. I think you all know what this means. You may carry on without me.)
-
The councillors were worried on arriving in their bedrooms. They had all asked for guards about the place, but they were few and far between. Most of them settled down to sleep, but the spiders in the corners of the corridors noticed a shadowy figure making his way towards Jubal's room, looking confident and not at all worried. The figure looked around the corner to see a number of guards keeping watch outside the room. Foiled for now he turned back.
But this shadowy figure was Hamadir Sirilsson, and Hamadir Sirilsson was an assassin. And he was being paid well by the client who had ordered this killing. There had also been threats which he didn't want to see carried out in the event he failed his task. He went outside, and stood in the courtyard looked up at the window of the room of his target. He decided he could probably drop onto the window's edge from the room above. Up he went, and down he leapt. Hamadir carefully prised the window open, and snook inside. Jubal was sat in the corner, reading a book. Hamadir raced across the room as Jubal leapt up and shouted the guards to come inside.
The door burst open too late, Hamadir was climbing back out of the window and Jubal was on the floor with a dagger in his chest.
Jubal (Town) has been killed. He was Lord Ariadir Ikarasson, the son of a famous council leader and warmaiden, Lady Ikara Riosdan. He was a young councillor who people saw as having the potential (and relatives) to climb high before these dark times came.
It is now Day 2. Night will begin around about 22:00 GMT on Thursday 15th January (maybe a bit longer depending on how your discussions are going). You require 4 votes for a lynch.
-
*Coughs and splutters dying breaths as I am discovered, in truly dramatic fashion*
"Avenge... meeee... save our country, my fellows. Save our people. I know you can."
*Collapses*
-
Alas, poor Jubal. I knew him well.
Vote: Khan as he is conveniently going camping right after this murder.
-
Damn it, I had posted extra guards to his room thinking he would be the target.
Perhaps you knew him too well? vote cg
-
Whoa, whoa, easy there, Chief. I didn't kill the guy. We know I'm too slow and bulky to get in and out of that window so fast.
You on the other hand... I'm not so sure I can believe that it was you who posted the guards. Or even if you did, maybe you paid them off, or specifically chose some fat guys who would be slow enough to let you get back out through the window in time.
-
who would be foolish enough to do the deed themselves? we are politicians not assassins
clearly it was a contract killer
I'm with CG here funny how a killer gets through the guards you posted
-
Family is everything, I would never have done this.
-
Any chance of a decision people?
-
Unless it's DD and CG? In which case I'll need Othko, MoD and Khan. I feel like these could be my last words. Or its MoD, because shes been silent.
E:Typo
-
More people need to vote.
-
Don't mistake my silence for guilt, Colossus. I simply don't want to voice my accusations and end up dead like poor Jubal.
-
Quick with the accusations aren't we Colossus? Covering your hide? Or just of nervous disposition?
I'm going with the former Vote: Colossus
-
Unvote: Khan
Vote: Colossus
We need to string someone up!
-
We need to lynch somebody, else we will soon be outnumbered. Vote: Colossus
-
Day will end at 22:00 GMT today. (5 hours from this post)
Current votes:
3 people have yet to vote. You need 4 votes to lynch.
-
I was weighing up possibilities. Should probably stop thinking aloud.
I voted cg earlier but it wasn't counted in the current votes.
-
This is one long dusk, or is it night time now?
-
Sorry, it is night now, I'll write up the day when I get home :) .
-
After another day of arguing, where the sun seemed to take an age to set, still the council could not reach a decision on who to imprison, exile, or otherwise dispose of. Some pointed their fingers at Colossus, others at the oddly quiet Khan. They all went warily to their chambers, and slept even less easily than they did the night before.
It is now Night 2. Day will begin in around 48 hours, or as soon as I get all the night actions, so send me your night actions please!.
-
:o
I have returned!
*sleeps*
-
Still waiting for night actions...
-
Get on with it! :)
-
Eeek, sorry. It'll be day on Sunday when I get back :) .
-
:(
-
Hmm, we must all be in a coma. That would explain why we've all been asleep for so long. Yes! That's it! The mafia have put us all into a coma! :o
-
And we all died happily ever after.
The end :(
