1 God (Captain Blicero)

1 Not voting (Thoth)

4 to lynch

MACBETH

Why should I play the Roman fool, and die
On mine own sword? whiles I see lives, the gashes
Do better upon them.

TOWN

Uh.. we know you're scum.

MACBETH

Oh, well, in that case,
Vote: myself


[dies]

TOWN

We killed a scum? Woo!

[Night falls. Exuent]



Bloojay(Macbeth) has been lynched. He had a one-time investigation ability which would have found roles and things.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that he wanted to get rid of all those people who are in line for the throne as well.

It's a stasimon! Talk to your chorus. Me!

ACT III?**

SCENE 1:

An UNKNOWN PERSON is pacing around a candlelit room. ENTER some GUARDS


UNKNOWN1: Alright! Somebody killed this poor, innocent rabbit. I want you to get that person! And execute him. Now!

[exuent]

~~Meanwhile~~

SCENE ii:

An UNKNOWN PERSON is walking along a corridor when suddenly WHEN DOVES CRY plays...


How can you leave me standing,
Out in a world that's so cold....

GOD: Ah, crap.

~~Meanwhile~~

SCENE iii:

LADY MACBETH is cleaning her KNIFE

LADY MACBETH: Come, you spirits
That tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here,
And fill me from the crown to the toe top-full
Of direst cruelty! make thick my blood;
Stop up the access and passage to remorse,
That no compunctious visitings of nature
Shake my fell purpose, nor keep peace between
The effect and it!

[SHE holds up the knife, gleaming to the moonlight]

Come, thick night,
And pall thee in the dunnest smoke of hell,
That my keen knife see not the wound it makes,
Nor heaven peep through the blanket of the dark,
To cry 'Hold, hold!'

[exit]

SCENE iv:

[Some room. WACKY is contemplating the act structure.]

WACKY: this is stuffed. I should really renumber that so night can have some kind of Act to fit in.. Oh, right... do some stuff so it looks like time has elapsed... er...[puts a CD on.]




[a while later....]




[exit]


SCENE v:

[Some room. Some GUARDS enter. GOD, aka PRINCE is lying there]

GUARD1: You are hereby to be executed for... hold on.

GUARD2: Sorry, wrong room. [exit]

GUARD1: That has got to hurt. [exits]

~~Meanwhile~~

SCENE vi:

[Sounds of battle, and crap like that].

UNKNOWN1: A Horse! a Horse! my Kingdom for a Horse! Hey, you! [SWORDS GHOST.] Oh, wait just another ghost.

GHOST: oooooh! Despair and die...! [does a mock stab, exits]

By now it should be clear that we are dealing with Richard of Gloucester,


GLOUCESTER: Where is all that noise coming from? A ha! .. bah, just another ghost.

[STAB]

Ow. [dies]

[Enter GUARDS]

GUARD1: Oh, there you are!

GUARD2: You are under arrest for the murder of a wabbit.

LADY MACBLICERO: Damn.

To clarify, the title of the thread is to surprise everyone, and God was hoisted by his own leotard.

Role summary

bloojay (Macbeth) was mafia with a 1 time role cop ability by asking the witches. Pretty standard - choice of stab, execute (delibrately), and killed in sleep.

Captain B (Lady Macbeth) was mafia GF and appeared to be "insane" to investigations instead of guilty or innocent. Tempted to commit suicide. Both mafia got a bonus if the contenders to the throne died.

(Which were Richard of Gloucester, Lear, Hamlet, Prince and Hal)

DS (Richard of Gloucester) - SK, pings people for female roles and chats them up. Also wanted contenders to the throne dead (same list, replace Richard of Gloucester with Macbeth) I'm very interested in what was said.

Someone (Lear): didn't know who he was, got three guesses which were crucial to guessing sanity issues (reverse results for females). Got "insane" had he investigated himself. Essentially needed to guess role or nothing will make sense.

MeMe (soothsayer) - the other info role, affected by the same "insane" things that some people have ("insane" will be not guilty, nor innocent)

ZONEACE(Portia) - lynch redirection, could redirect to no lynch. A bit like Mother Theresa from DP6. Due to Mini 69 I thought that there might be lots of newbies and hoped an experienced player would get this role.. not the opposite (see choices, posted later)

DP (Aaron) was traditionally evil in Titus, but there was this one rewriting.... doc, points for protecting right people

Thoth, (Hamlet (vig)), wanted as many dead as possible.

Quail (Cleopatra), tempted to suicide, joke/homage to DP6, suggests mod might be "throwing a curveball"

Morpheus (Desdemona) was told "townie" but inf act if died, came back to life the next day and died at the end of day. Made fun of Othello's ending.

God (Prince), town. Also a joke. In case you hadn't noticed, that quote was dirge's sig and was by the artist Prince. Hinted at curveball thing.

Coincidentally, when Doves Cry was used in Baz Luhrmann's R+J.

Nothingis as it seems...

Can't remember, Hal (town) boring, nothing to it.



I think God was a bit disappointed with gettinga townie role and missed the hint that there might be weird stuff going on.

DS - what was said?

there was also this:

Hey Wacky... could you do me a huge favor and fix that quote tag? And then edit this post to make it look like I said something witty or intelligent so that no one will know my shame?

This is the way scum should behave :D . Just shooting each other. I of course shot my second townie in a row :( . At least it didn't cost us.

Thanks for the game Wacky. It was really nice. Any chance of making a big theme game out of it :wink: .

Also, CB was scum, just like I said. You and your damn Lepton gambit.

Sorry God, I just followed the town's lead. Actually for me it was rather good to shoot a townie as long as at least one of the scum shot the other as it would have brought me closer to fulfill my 'hidden agenda' (Everyone dead).

I hoped for a scenario with me, a townie and 1 scum left on the last day. Put in a quick vote for the townie and then shoot the scum at night (and get shot in return, but suiciding just to make sure).

Haha, a true shakespearean tragedy. Good planning :shock:

Wow, talk about your all-time greatest backfires. I had assumed that there were 2 two-member mafia groups in this game, so when DS came out with his two "confirmed" innocents, I figured either God or Thoth had to be scum. So, I figured I had a solid way to prove copness by leading a lynch against one of them (Nothing personal God... I picked you because you were already on my bandwagon). The plan was that I would knock off DS, who I thought was innocent, and then accuse one of the two "women" of being Lady Macbeth.

DS - Why'd you kill me? Was it to get rid of a cop role, or did you suspect that I was lying like a shag carpet?

Out damned spot, out I say!

I've nominated thoth for the title:
"I'll kill myself if it means I'll win."
Anyone object?

I was evil, first of all.
You had to be scum cause I knew I wasn't innocent. I killed you anyway in order to cause mass confusion. Muhwahahahahahaha!!!!!

Good game.

And damn i didnt get to use my lynch redirection, however the two people i chose to be part of it for today are still alive (morpheus gets lynched it goes to thoth). Damn, i wanted to use it.

Role summary was above, this is the full thing.

ROLES:

Between Shakespeare's death and 1923 Titus Andronicus appeared only in adapted form. The first of these adaptations was published in 1687: Edward Ravenscroft's Titus Andronicus: or, the Rape of Lavinia, which underlined the role of Aaron. In the preliminaries Ravenscroft commented unfavourably on the original 'It seems rather a heap of rubbish than a structure'. The adaptation was staged at Drury Lane in the early eighteenth century and the star actor of the company, James Quin, chose to play the role of Aaron. The same role inspired Ira Aldridge, the prominent black actor in the nineteenth century, to add a version of the play to his touring repertoire. The adapted text hasn't survived but contemporary accounts suggest the plot was sanitized, cutting much of the violence and presenting Aaron as a
noble character.

Mod notes: ??? = Lear is insane when it comes to females.
Remember Desdemona comes back to life temporarily when dead.

You are
Macbeth
(mafia) with X (Lady Macbeth the GF). X is responsible for sending in the kill, and who is doing the killing.

Note: killing is optional, and by choice of “stabbed”, “killed in sleep” or “executed”

“double, double, toil and trouble..”

You have a one time cop role, obtaining basic role description and value system. (by asking the witches). You may only use this ability when you (Macbeth) if you aren’t the one making the kill.

Value System:
+3 for win
+2 for survival
+2 for all pro-town contenders for the throne dead

You are
Lady Macbeth
(mafia GF), with Y (Macbeth). You appear insane to all alignment inspections.

Note: killing is optional, and by choice of “stabbed”, “killed in sleep” or “executed”

+4 for win
+2 for all pro-town contenders for the throne dead
+2 if you commit suicide

“Now is the winter of our discontent”

You are Richard of Gloucester, otherwise known as Richard III, the SK. A hunchback cripple that is trying to take over the kingdom, by killing everyone of course.

Note: Killing is optional, and by “accidents”

Each night, in addition to your kill, you may ping someone. If that person has a female role you may communicate with night from then on. The
cough
victim
cough
will only know that they may communicate with you at night and will gain no other info.

+4 for win.
+2 for survival
+2 for all pro-town contenders for the throne dead, OR all mafia dead WHEN you die or end of game if you survive.

You are ?????. Okay, you don’t have a clue.

You investigate one person per night and get alignment. You get 3 guesses of guessing your name right, valid and usable any time until time of death. You will be informed if you get it right.

+3 for win.
+1 for survival.
+1 for each anti-town player you vote off (you have to be voting for that person when he/she is lynched) – Capped at 2.
+2 if you guess your name right

“to be or not to be, etc.”

Yup, you are Hamlet (vigilante). You appear insane to all inspections. Despite being all honourable, like, your self destructive impulses result in other people getting hurt sometimes.

Kill method: depends, but thematic: hoisting by own petard, stuff like that.

+4 all scum dead
+3 Including yourself, if no-one is alive at the end
+2 If one person is alive,
+1 If two people are alive,

You are Desdemona (townie) (Othello). Paragon of virtue, sweetest innocent, blah.

Stuff happens when you die. Remind the mod if you don’t get a PM.

+3 for win
+1 for survival
+1 for each anti-town player you vote off (you have to be voting for that person when he/she is lynched)

You are Prince(townie) [dirge quote]

+3 for win
+1 for survival
+1 for each anti-town player you vote off (you have to be voting for that person when he/she is lynched)

You are Hal(townie) (King Henry IV)

+3 for win
+1 for survival
+1 for each anti-town player you vote off (you have to be voting for that person when he/she is lynched)

You are the Soothsayer (soothsayer)(Julius Caesar)

Once in the game, ask a yes/no question, get an answer in thread. Effects such as Gfness, redirection, flying pumpkins etc. may still apply.

You are Cleopatra (townie)

+3 for win
+1 for survival
+1 for each anti-town player you vote off (you have to be voting for that person when he/she is lynched)
+3 suicide-nightkilled and stuff

You are Aaron (a certain production of Titus Andronicus), swashbuckling, baby rescuing doc! You cannot protect yourself, or the same person on consecutive nights.

+3 for Win
+1 for Survival
+2 for each kill you stop.

You are Portia (one-use lynch redirection).

How to explain this... Basically you have a one-time ability of changing who gets lynched. You do this by sending in a PM during the night

If X is lynched the following day, lynch Y (or no lynch) instead

Your ability is not wasted until it is actually used, so if X doesn’t get lynched, you can try again the next night. You can’t protect yourself, and use of your ability is optional.

+3 for win
+1 if X innocent
-1 if X guilty
+1 if Y guilty
-1 if Y innocent
+1 for each anti-town player you vote off (you have to be voting for that person when he/she is lynched) – capped at 2.
