Assassins in the Castle Signup

Post by Azathoth » Wed Sep 29, 2010 12:22 am

Your spies have reported that the neigbouring kingdom has dispatched assassins to do away with the King. In response to this the Royal Guard have all donned matching armour to the king to conceal his identity.

There has been a hitch in the plan however. The lifeless body of the Captain of the Royal Guard has been discovered in the stables. As the numbers of the protective group are still the same it must be assumed that one of your number is an assassin. The Royal Guard all know the identity of the King and must prevent it from becoming known to the assassin.

The assassin has one shot only to kill the king which can be taken at the point of his death or at any point before. Should he wish to attack before it will also lead to his death as the royal guard will hack him to pieces when he reveals his true identity.

Should any further assassins make their way into the castle other members of the Royal Family may need to be protected.

This mafia variant doesn't have a night round. The round ends as soon as a single player has the majority of votes for their execution.
Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

It will be starting straight after Zigmens game if there are enough signups. I need 10 minimum but would prefer 15

I'm in(although I don't have much experience with this sort of thing).
I can live with doubt, and uncertainty, and not knowing. I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong. [...] I don’t feel frightened by not knowing things, by being lost in a mysterious universe without having any purpose, which is the way it really is, as far as I can tell, possibly. It doesn’t frighten me. - Richard Feynman

Friends, Assassin games are a wonderful variation of Mafia. This game is part of the MiniMafia series, and will be run by Ghat (Thanks Ghat!) You're all automatically in unless you sign out. Game start time is under discussion, but we will have this game or another quick Mafia within a day or so, so nobody will get withdrawel symptoms.

I would like to get the signups to 14-15 for balance purposes. I will fire out some PMs to try to get a few more signups

The world is a thing of utter inordinate complexity and richness and strangeness that is absolutely awesome. I mean the idea that such complexity can arise not only out of such simplicity, but probably absolutely out of nothing, is the most fabulous extraordinary idea. And once you get some kind of inkling of how that might have happened, it's just wonderful. And . . . the opportunity to spend 70 or 80 years of your life in such a universe is time well spent as far as I am concerned.

One more spot and then signups will close. Role PMs will be going out tomorrow regardless of the 15th slot being filled or not
