War in Heaven II - Spirit of Vengeance (Over!)

[Mr. Flay]

Twice now the Fallen Angels have triumphed in their rebellion against the Angels loyal to God;
will they succeed a third time, or will good finally have its day?

[Mr. Flay]

This is a Semi-Open setup, with Split Roles/Motives. What follows are some potential role PMs of loyal angels:

Seraphim:

Role:

You are a

Seraph

, one of the strongest angels of Heaven.

Win Condition:

You stand, like all loyal angels, on the side of God and against all threats to Heaven's peace. You win if all such infidels are cast out, and at least one loyal angel survives.

Powers:

You may either Hurt or Heal players in thread, as with all other roles. With your flaming sword, you may choose to inflict 2 damage instead of 1 with an attack on another angel, by mentioning the blade in your attack's optional descriptive text. Doing so will increase your recharge time to 36 hours, rather than 24. You start the game with 12 HP.

Cherubim:

Role:

You are a

Cherub

, one of the angels of Heaven.

Win Condition:

You stand, like all loyal angels, on the side of God and against all threats to Heaven's peace. You win if all such infidels are cast out, and at least one loyal angel survives.

Powers:

You may either Hurt or Heal players in thread, as with all other roles. You start the game with 9 HP.

Erelim:

Role:

You are an

Arel

, one of the stronger angels of Heaven.

Win Condition:

You stand, like all loyal angels, on the side of God and against all threats to Heaven's peace. You win if all such infidels are cast out, and at least one loyal angel survives.

Powers:

You may either Hurt or Heal players in thread, as with all other roles. You start the game with 12 HP.

Ophanim:

Role:

You are a

Ophan

, one of the all-seeing angels of Heaven.

Win Condition:

You stand, like all loyal angels, on the side of God and against all threats to Heaven's peace. You win if all such infidels are cast out, and at least one loyal angel survives.

Powers:

You may either Hurt or Heal players in thread, as with all other roles. In addition, you may choose to

Observe: player

(via PM to me) for 72 hours. Concentrating in this way will prevent you from Hurting or Harming, but you will see if your target does anything secretly. You may not target the same player consecutively with this ability. You start the game with 7 HP.

[Mr. Flay]

Rules

1. Ethical:
   
   
2. Do not discuss the game
   by any means
   outside of this thread unless your role PM explicitly says that you may.
   
3. Don't quote any PMs/private communication directly in thread. Likewise, once you are cast out,
   stop talking
   ; you can say your piece once the game is over.
   
4. Don't edit/delete your posts, even if you have the privileges to do so. It violates the integrity of the game and can screw up the game thread. I will take care of duplicate posts or formatting errors upon request.
   
5. Treat this game as a commitment, to me and your fellow players. If you're going to be gone more than 72 hours on a non-weekend, let us know. I reserve the right to replace you, but the other angels have the right to cast you out first.
   
6. Lying is a sin
   ;
   pretending
   to break a rule (quoting a fake role PM, for example) will garner the same punishment as actually breaking that rule.
   
7. If you have to think about whether or not you're breaking the rules when you're about to do something,
   ask
   !
   
8. I reserve the command/color-combination for my own use; any other colored text is fine for you to use.
   
9. Robust cryptographyand steganography are not allowed in my games.
   
10. Remember, it's a game. It's supposed to be fun. It's supposed to be interactive. Do your part.
    
    
    Mechanical:
    
    
11. The Mod is still God (literally, in this case). There are some unusual features in this game; most are public, but not all. Feel free to PM me or ask in thread if something is confusing; I reserve the right to ignore the question or give misleading answers if it would compromise the game.
    
12. There are no 'lynches' or 'voting' in this game for thematic reasons. Instead, you may either
    Hurt: player
    or
    Heal: player
    , once every 24 hours, to move them closer/further from being 'cast out' of the game.
    These actions must be in bold, and must use exactly that verb (the : is optional).
    Feel free to describe your attack or defence in
    italics
    afterward, though!
    Cool points if you can use a dead language...
    
    
13. I will not provide damage tallies more often than every 12 hours, but will try to provide them every 24-48 hours if changes in health have occurred.
    
14. Once someone reaches 0 HP, they will be cast out of Heaven (no Healing will help at that point) as soon as I return to the thread to pass Judgment; after that, they may no longer interact with the game thread or players in any way not specified by their role PM. Regardless of how quickly I return to the thread, actions will be processed sequentially, so you may not Heal/Hurt during Twilight, for example.
    
15. Healing may not take someone more than 1 point above their original total HP. You may not Heal (or Harm) yourself.
    
16. Damage levels are preserved even after someone is cast out! A sample tally will look like:

    First Damage Tally of the First Æon:

    
    Michael has taken 3 damage.
    Gabriel has taken 2 damage.
    Azrael and Belial have both taken 1 damage each.
    
    

    Metatron, Lucifer, and Vassago are all undamaged.

17. This is a Nightless game, and should need no deadlines. If you anger your God through excessive sloth, I will very...
    upset
    (this includes someone deliberately standing aside from the conflict)
    .
    Replacements also incur my wrath; any role that needs to be replaced will lose 1 HP

    from their maximum limit

    .
    
    
18. Any questions about player damage tallies (like vote counts), overall game mechanics, or prods/replacements for players, mention it in thread. You may preface them with
    God:
    or
    Mod:
    to catch my eye, if that helps.

Mod: I'll be V/LA until Monday night. My apologies for the inconvenience. I will try to post if I can, but the V/LA will not go away until Monday night for sure.

Fun fact of the day: the only two non-Indo-European languages that English has borrowed irregular pluralizations from are Hebrew (Seraphim, Cherubim) and Japanese (Samurai, Ninja, Pokemon).

Apologies; I opened the thread only to discover that some PMs hadn't gone out the first time around. Everyone should have one as of this post.

Sorry to break it to you fallen angelfolk, but today, your winning streak ends. You dancing faeries are going down. Like, way down.

I just spent twenty minutes rooting around all of the language reference books scattered around my room to confirm or deny this. Curse you.

[Xylthixlm]

Nuwen: Did you? Because I learned that from the kindly old professor who taught my Indo-European Languages course and never bothered to verify it.

I will be posting sparingly in the coming week.

I could only find a thesis on null pluralization of Maori loanwords in different dialects of English, focusing primarily on kiwi versus kiwis.

I need to clean that desk off...
