Son of the King

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.

He is Jubal the modder, Jubal the wayfarer, Jubal the admin. And he has come to me now, at the turning of the tide.

Clockwork

Once you realize what a joke everything is, being the Comedian is the only thing that makes sense.

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?!
Tis but a scratch...


Jubal

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? ;)
