Ex Cathedra

The Rules:

You may PM only to me, the ICs, or from one mafia member to another.  Further, all discussion about this game, even indirectly, can only occur in this thread.

All votes must be colored red.  To avoid confusion, only use that color when you are voting for someone.  You must also Unvote before you vote for another.  If you do NOT unvote, your new vote will NOT count.  No Lynch votes are allowed.
 
"Days" will last 48 hours.  Nights will last 24 hours or until all night abilities have been sent to me.  The deadline will be posted regularly and I retain the ability to hurry the deadline for inactivity or extend the deadline if enough request it.  Any deadline that falls on a weekend will be pushed back to the following Monday.  Note that you may request to extend or shorten the day.
 
Upon deadline, the player with the most votes will be lynched.  If there is a tie, there will be no lynch.  Once dead, you may not speak or PM anyone about the game, living or otherwise.  A Dead chat will be made available.  Mafia will be given their own Chat to speak to one another once roles have been sent.
 
Bolded sentences can be used to catch my attention, or that of the ICs.  Italics used by me is story text, or "flavor" as they call it, and is just there to be interesting.  Note you are free to apply flavor as you wish.  Note that the flavor has nothing to do with the actual gameplay and can be ignored if desired.
 
Do NOT quote my PM text and do NOT edit your posts (you can double post if you need to)

Lastly, any suggestion of breaking a rule in the main chat will be treated as the rule already broken.  If you have any questions or wish to make sure of the legality of an action, PM me first.
 
You can, of course, ask any questions you may have.

Spoiler: Possible roles (click to show/hide)

Townsperson: The basic town role. Your goal is to help the town lynch all of the mafia players. You win as long as the town wins.
 
Mafia: The basic antagonist role. You and the other Mafia players work together to kill off the townspeople. During the day, you pretend to be normal townspeople and vote on who is to be lynched. During the night, you will tell me the name of the player you wish to kill along with which of you will kill them. You win once you have greater than or equal to the number of town aligned players.
 
Mafia Roleblocker: Similar to the mafia.  However, in nights when you are not the one assigned to kill, you may choose one person for yourself.  The person you choose will be unable to perform their night action.  Note that the Doctor will not know if they have been blocked, but the Cop will know.  You will not be informed if you had blocked an actual action.
 
Mafia Godfather:  Similar to the mafia.  However, when investigated by the cop, they will show up as an innocent townsperson.
 
Cop: An honest cop, he may choose one player each night to investigate. He will then learn if that player is Mafia or Town.
 
Doctor: The doctor may choose one player each night to protect from the mafia's night kill.  Note that you will not know if the kill had been stopped by your action.

It is a cold winter's evening when two knights walk into Aureliusz Vektor's tavern.  They are tall, and they are armed, and both have something of a smug and devil-may-care attitude.

"Can I get something for the men?" he asks.  His accent is thick and terrifyingly Polish, but he suffers no embarrassment from it anymore.  Things have changed.  He is comfortable with his life, especially since he has moved away from that one werewolf-infested village.

"Ale," says the one, sitting at the bar.

"Ale," says the other, sitting alongside.

He pours them two tankards and sits, watching them drink.

"About payment," says the one.  His smile is narrow.  His nose is French.  "I'm afraid we haven't any money."

"I have--"

"We haven't any money," says the Frenchman.  "So we'll tell you a morality tale, in exchange.  Don't think of protesting.  It's what we have, and it's what you'll get."

"I see," says Aureliusz Vektor, feeling somewhat overwhelmed.

"It was a cold and snowy evening," says the second knight.  "There were icicles on the trees and snowflakes gathered thick on one's eyelashes.  I stopped at a cathedral, thinking to seek sanctuary and wait out the growing storm.  My warhorse, Litia, had already succumbed to the cold, and I had to leave her behind."

"It was freezing like the devil's own heart," says the first knight.  "I, too, found myself in that cathedral, with nine other men.  We were snowed in--and while I was stuck there, I found myself bored.  Thus I proposed a little game.  I, Pandarsenic, Le Chevalier du Glas, sought out two among their number--"

"Two unwilling victims--"

"Two brigands who underestimated the evil in their hearts.  I offered them power and glory beyond their wildest dreams if they would do one little thing."

"And what was that thing of which you are speaking?" says Vektor, wiping the counter.  He is already bored and would rather like to throw them out.

"I told them to kill every innocent man in the building," says Pandarsenic with a gentle smile.  "They agreed immediately, of course."

"You coerced them," the other knight huffs.

"I awoke the evil that had always been in their hearts.  Are you going to let me recount this, or not?"

"Carry on," says the second knight.  "But allow me to introduce myself.  I am Sir Dakarian of Pane, knight of the realm."

"I am certain I could be charmed by meeting you," says Vektor.  He still hasn't quite figured his way around basic English niceties.  The language is confusing.

"And I you.  Maybe," says Dakarian.  "Pandarsenic here has a terrible reputation.  I had heard many stories of his misdeeds and the great evils that followed his every step."

"Not so evil as what you do in the name of good," says Pandarsenic.  "I cut Dakarian here a deal.  I would help my 'villains,' and he would help the 'innocents'... and whichever one of us came out on the lesser side of this arrangement would leave the country forever."

"I see," says Vektor.  "And what happened after?"



You have until Midnight on Wednesday to decide what happened on the First Day.  Begin.

[Pandarsenic]

((Epic flavor is epic.))

[Org]

Indeed.
Rolan, what was your flavor role?

[Pandarsenic]

Speaking objectively, Org, Vektor said many times that trying that would be a bad idea.

:I

[SirBayer]

Org, why are you first to post?

[Org]

I am first to post because the thread was open when I was looking at it.
But really Pandar is first.

[JaaSwb]

JaaSwb is happy. He admired a fine flavour recently. He admired own fine role PM recently.

So, SirBayer, what's s bad about wanting to get the discussion started?

[Org]

Not starting with RVs?
Hm...

[JaaSwb]

That was supposed to be a random vote. I didn't immediately jump to the conclusion SirBayer's lynch-worthy

[Org]

...That was not very close to a Random Vote.

[Halmie]

Err, org isn't on the player list? Is he playing?

Nice flavour text though. Just beating my old favorite pokebox flavour by Ched (so sad but so true).

HFS, what would be your favorite role this game?
