Assassins in the Castle Rules and PG

Post by Azathoth » Sun Oct 03, 2010 3:11 am

Your spies have reported that the neigbouring kingdom has dispatched assassins to put and end to the royal line. In response to this the King and Crown Prince have donned the full plate armour of the Royal guard.
Image
There has been a hitch in the plan however. The lifeless bodies of the Captain and the First Lieutenant of the Royal Guard have been discovered in the stables stripped of their armour. Two of your number are assassins. The Royal Guard all know the identities of the Royals and must prevent the assassins from sharing this knowledge at all costs. The royals know each other's identities and may PM each other and only each other. The assassins know each other's identities and may PM each other and only each other. Guards may not PM anyone.

Every day the group votes to execute one of their number. The format for this is Execute player name. As soon as a single member has the majority of the vote the round ends. If the executed member is an assassin they can then Assassinate player name with the last of their strength as they die. If the first assassin does not manage to kill a royal the second can choose two players to take with them.

Assassins may choose to assassinate a player before they are executed but this also leads to their death as the guards hack them to pieces as they perform the deed. The game ends when both assassins are dead.

There is no night round except when the first assassin is executed when there will be a pause for the assassins to confer as to their target.

If anyone has any questions please ask in this thread before the role PMs go out tomorrow afternoon.

So if I'm reading this right the game ends when either the King or the (2?) assassins are killed?

The guards know who the king and prince are so there is no chance of them getting to a majority of execution votes. The game ends when both assassins are dead. If they manage to take the king and prince with them they win

Sounds like fun. I've only ever played 1 assassins game before. B+B Mafia should end tonight, so roles can be sent any time you like.

Role PMs have been sent out. PM me if you didn't recieve one. The PMs are:

Guards
You are a guardsman. Your mission is to execute the two assassins before they deduce the identities of the disguised royals, xxxxxxx and xxxxxx. You may not PM.
Royals
You are the King and Crown Prince. You must prevent your identities becoming known to the assassins. You may PM each other
Assassins
You are the assassins. You are on a suicide mission to kill the King and Crown Prince.

You have a single chance to assassinate which is generally taken after the guards have voted to execute you. If you are certain you may take your kill early but this will also put you out of the game. You need to deduce the identities of the royals by watching the guards' voting patterns. As the game goes on it becomes more obvious who is not being picked on. The longer you stay alive the better chances you have.

The first assassin gets a single assassination attempt. If this fails the second assassin gets two attempts. Both royals must die for you to win. You may PM.
The game will begin as soon as Zigmen's game finishes.

I am at work today for another 11 hours. I'm in MDT. I'll get up to speed as fast as I can.
