A Gentleman's Game of Guile, Subterfuge, and Intrigue (Fin)

[Wraith]

INTRODUCTION

Greetings, my fellow chaps of good breeding and social stature, and welcome to the Exclusive Lodge for Extraordinary Gentlemen's Thirty-Sixth Annual Gentlemen's Gathering! Help yourself to a vast and varied selection of exotic foods from both the Orient and across the Channel - seek the buffet and you shall find it! Please enjoy our professional and entertaining string ensemble while you converse with your peers - they will be playing the latest arrangements from such illustrious composers as Brahms and Tchaikovsky. Oh, and don't forget: outside we will be holding matches of croquet and polo. Tea will be served, to order, upon request, and-

Oh dear, what's this? I say...I have just received some grave news. Our benefactor has been found dead, victim of murder most foul. It appears that out of our thirteen most distinguished guests, several are imposters! Rapscallions and rogues have assumed the identities of many of our fair colleagues, seeking to scheme and carry out our gruesome and ghastly murders! Nevertheless, keep calm and carry on - we must root out these villains and carry out the proper means of disposing of them: a firing squad. I see that you have all retained your ceremonial firearms; it is time to put them to use.

Wraith, Gentlemen of the Highest Caliber, Fashionably Murdered Night 0

A Code of Most Just and Absolute Laws

1. Votes must be bolded in this format:

Vote: Wraith

2. Days will have a deadline of three weeks. Deadline can be extended under special circumstances
3. Mafia may not daytalk
4. Do not under any circumstances communicate with another player(s) outside the game thread.
5. Please do not quote the role PM
6. Absolutely no invisible, small, or otherwise unreadable text. Spoiler tags are allowed as long as the nature of their contents are clearly labeled.
7. You will be prodded after failing to post in 72 hours. If you require a third prod at any point in the game you will instead be replaced. Inform in-thread of any upcoming V/LA in bold
8. “Bah” posts are allowed, and should not include any kind of game-related information. However, lynched players may continue to talk during Twlight.
9. Twilight occurs after the hammer and before the lynch scene. You may continue to talk but any new votes/unvotes will not be counted.
-----9a. "No Lynch" occurs when HALF of the living players vote for it.
10.

BLUE

is my color, don’t use it.
11. I modkill at my discretion, with or without warnings depending on the offense. If you think something will test my rules (or patience), ask me first, or don’t do it at all. Modkills will end the day and turn the killed player into a Neutral Survivor.
12. If I make a mistake in some way, point it out via:

@mod: You made a mistake

13. I reserve the right to add to or change the rules at my discretion. There are no loopholes, and I enforce ex post facto.
14. Blue will be my color in all mod posts after rules. Do not use it.
15. Don't be afraid to have fun. Despite the wording of these rules I am not a ruthless dictator and the vast majority of players are not trolls. Good luck!
-----15a. To be more specific: Please Be Civil
16. On Activity Requirements and Replacements: Players will be prodded upon request or if they go 48 hours without any sort of activity. A player will receive two prods before being force-replaced. Replacements will be recruited via the mini theme queue topic or if a player contacts me via PM and requests to be the first priority for replacing someone.
17. I will respond to any and all questions directed toward me in normal English. If you have any questions, especially if you don't fully understand your role PM, don't hesitate to ask.
18. I will be posting in fancy schmancy gentleman's English. You don't

have

to, but it is strongly encouraged.
19. Any comments by the mod that do not concern game mechanics or happenings are strictly flavor and have NO bearing on the alignments of players.

[Wraith]

Unfortunately, Distinguished Guest

Aurorus Vox

found it of greatest necessity to attend important business plaguing his valuable and widespread shipping company. Therefore, I will be seeking a replacement guest with equally great haste. However, I will continue forwarding messages regarding each of our guests' occupations and affiliations, save for that empty slot, which I hope to fill before day's end.

Please confirm the information contained within your invitation via return correspondence.

[Wraith]

imaginality

shall be attending in the stead of

AurorusVox

. Invitations are currently being delivered.

[Wraith]

All invitations have been delivered. This occasion shall resume once the attendence of each of our guests has been confirmed.

For reference, this is the invitation of what is known as, in the vernacular, a

"Vanilla Townie"

:

Greetings, my good sir! You are a Most Proper but Unspectacular Man of Class, and you are hereby extended invitation to this Exclusive Lodge for Extraordinary Gentlemen. Persistent vigilance is required, for a gentleman must always be prepared to undergo trials of body and mind in his quest to rid his company of rapscallions and rogues. Unfortunately, you are of insufficient rank and status within our organization to be permitted the privilege of importing a dangerous weapon of gunpowder or steel, and as such you only possess the ability to voice your personal albeit venerated opinions and cast a pronouncement of condemnation upon the suspects among your peers. You are victorious when all villains, rapscallions, and rogues that threaten your life and reputation are eliminated.

Notes: I added a line to end, because I forgot to add the win condition to all town PMs.

[Wraith]

All of our guests save for he known as

TheLonging

have confirmed their attendance. Nevertheless, I believe that twelve out of thirteen is more than sufficient a number to - dare I say - commence with tonight's entertainment!

With thirteen guests still standing, it will take

seven

votes to lynch a

patsy

- excuse me: villain deserving of a swift and righteous death.

Unfortunately, as with all good things, this too will ultimately come to an end. In this case, aforementioned deadline is

May 14, 2011

[Wraith]

Excellent news, chaps! The last of our distinguished guests has confirmed his attendance, and will be joining us as soon as possible.

Alas, I have urgent business to attend to regarding the power supply to this voice amplification device, and will be engage in only limited interaction with you all until tomorrow afternoon. Good day, and carry on!

[Wraith]

A counting of submitted ballots shall be completed by some point this day or the next.

The records shall show a complete history of the day's votes, including all possible repetition of votes by one guest upon another.

Red

signifies a guest at either two or one vote from execution.

Multiple guests have not yet spoken up regarding these matters, which I suspect is due to my own error in failing to send notification of the beginning of the day's proceeding to said guests. It shall be done, and participation henceforth shall be expected. Good day.

[Wraith]

It appears that I have neglected to mention the origins of our good friend vezokpiraka. He is the owner of a quite expansive tract of land in the state of Texas in North America. It is rich in that black gold the industries of the first world consume so ferociously. Forgive him for being unaware of the etiquette of speech and action expected of the quintessential British gentlemen.

[Wraith]

It is a voice amplification device; the common folk call it a "loudspeaker." It is experimental and prone to mechanical failure, but it certainly allows to project my voice from anywhere in the lodge. Quite useful, indeed.

[Wraith]

Why, I certainly apologize if I have mistaken your nationality, StrangerCoug. From what lands do you hail?

[Wraith]

GMan

has requested replacement.

[Wraith]

As you chaps can all see,

DemonHybrid

replaces GMan.

Good afternoon, my good sirs! After celebratory antics oft involving intoxication I am ready to resume my services as your host. There is apt chance for a votecount come tonight, and do keep in mind that the deadline for this day is in precisely one week.

Prods will reach appropriate recipients come tomorrow, should they be necessary.

[Wraith]

kpaca and kr0b have been prodded. Caboose has yet to respond to his prod.

Deadline for this day shall be extended one week from today:

I fear it is too late to retract any possible votes, the decision is final and

Twistedspoon's

fate is sealed. Let us all head out onto the field for this execution.

The remaining guests array in a line, draw a variety of personal firearms, and take aim. "I only have this to say: " Twistedspoon, Esq. says, "You are fools and your blindless and ignorance shall doom you all!" And with that, the firing line ended his life.

Excellent work, chaps. I must say, fine marksmanship indeed. Blood is an awful trouble to clean up from the grass. Now, let us discern Twistedspoon's true identity. Aha! Witness, my good sirs, that I have withdrawn from his person an ornate, deadly, and finely-crafted dagger! Clearly it is the mark of a-

Oh dear. I recognize this blade. It belonged to my good friend and colleague, Sir Twistedfork! He and I embarked upon several daring and exciting adventures in the depths of the Dark Continent. I had suspected a relation, but in these trying times one must always remain vigilant and properly paranoid! Nevertheless, despite the condemnation that this weapon might bring, no relation of Sir Twistedfork could possibly be villainous, certainly not in my lodge. It appears Twistedspoon, Esq. was a

Gentleman of Prim and Proper Class but Possessing a Dubious Reputation Due to Unfortunate Scandal

. In the vernacular, I do believe the common folk refer to such an occupation as a

Miller

.

Oh well, I suppose this grim business is done and in the past, and there is naught that can be done further about it. Therefore, I suggest we all turn in for the night and await what is to be found come tomorrow morning. Have a pleasant stay!

was lynched Day 1.

has commensed. Please forward appropriate night actions by

Day Two

It is morning, fair and righteous guests! Let us take a moment to assemble and recall the faces of our compatriots.

Oh dear...I see only ten faces assembled here before me this fair morning. Please remain calm and maintain a stiff upper lip while I have the staff check the rooms of our two missing guests. I dare say that perhaps they had too much of the free champagne last night.

Oh dear...it appears

StrangerCoug

has been the victim of murder most foul! He has been shot through the chest! Who could be responsible for this dastardly deed?

What's this? It appears that

TheLonging

has also met a similarly grim and terrible fate! He has been...oh dear. Oh my. He has been slain, and we shall keep quiet on the subject in further discussion.

No, DemonHybrid and kpaca have not yet requested replacements. They are aware that the day has started considering I sent a mass message to everyone still alive. They shall be prodded come tomorrow should they not participate in festivities.

[Wraith]

DemonHybrid and kpaca have been prodded. I am growing tired of having to prod the same group of people. If activity does not pick up I will be tightening activity requirements.

kpaca is being replaced.

Ah, it appears that you all have singled out your good fellow Reya, who has been lurking, mute, in the corner throughout the day, plotting your gruesome deaths, no doubt. Guards, please 'eject' Miss Cookiebringer from the property.

Oh dear. I have just received a rather angry correspondence from Sir Reyus Cookiebringer. It appears we were, erm, mistaken - his daughter was no villain, but a patsy of murderers most cunning. Alas, the sun sets. It appears that we must all turn in and wait for morning. I hope I shall she all of your faces alive and well come daybreak.

Hmmm? Excuse me? Sincerest apologies, honored guests, it appears that I dozed off during your lengthy deliberations. You believe the esteemed gentleman

ToastyToast

bears himself in some manner of guilt? Ah, then we shall see. Mister Williams, please fetch my comically oversized antiquated firearm, would you please. Ah, thank you. Now, this weapon is ceremonial in purpose and takes considerable amount of preparation for its proper and safe use. Please wait.

Ah, there we go - powder is primed and preparations complete - and now we finish off my good knave ToastyToast. There we go, that business is adjourned. Mister Williams, please search the body. Nothing incriminating, you say? Oh dear...

Day Four

It is now morning, my still-surviving comrades! I should hope, with such an unbroken and unfortunate pattern of mistakes and misunderstandings, that this new day shall bring new resolve to sustain those with unscathed reputation to victory. Let me attain a proper count of our remaining guests...it appears one of our number is missing. Oh, dear...

What's this? My staff informs me that they have found the body of

inHimshallibe

, killed during the night. It is with great sorrow that I-

What?

What

did you say? I say, the good fellow here informs me that they found quite an extensive collection of both simple and ornate weapons of a concealable, bladed nature on inHim's person. Dare I say, but I believe we have rid ourselves of the most nasty sort of rogue.

What? You mean they've finished? Great scott, that was swifter than expected. Well then, let's get down to this wretched business. I am afraid that I have a dreadful feeling about this.

Please lead

out onto the rear lawn. Yes, far away from the porch, we do not wish to make a mess of things of course. Please make read your issued firearms...take aim...I SAY! *monocle'd* What sort of deranged expression is this lady making?



Fire away, gentlemen! I care not to look upon it any longer. Excellent work, old chaps. Now let me rummage through the belongings...I say...! It appears this knave had infiltrated this establishment, preying upon our goodwill and polite demeanors. Excellent work once again, friends. We have rid ourselves of another rapscallion this day.

It appears, good friends, that this is the moment of truth. This shall be our final execution, for better or for worse. Should Sir Feysal be a gentleman of proper caliber, this gathering, and the Lodge, shall be finished, destroyed by those improper and unjust villains. However, should Feysal be a rapscallion, a manipulator of intrigue and ungentlemanly conduct, dare I say, we shall be able to return home, our hearts filled with feelings of fortune and satisfaction in having eliminated those vile rogues that plague our houses. And so, Sir

Comments

-Lurking killed the scumteam. If Feysal had not lurked so hard, I think he could have had a good chance of mislynching Hoppster.
-This game was really swingy around mid-game. I thought the scumteam would win for a while, and that I had underpowered the town (Bodyguard had no effect, Doc might have been better, but I didn't want to have yet another Cop/Doc combo). However the two confirmed townies (1 by role, 1 by cop) really pulled through for the town in the end
-inHim just got really unlucky that the Mafia RB stumbled across him by chance, otherwise he might have had a fair chance at victory
-I'm somewhat annoyed at the snail-pace, lurking, and general lack of activity. I myself am also guilty of this considering how I somewhat neglected this game after my Large Normal opened
-jilynne was really horribly obvious scum by the end of D3, and the ToastyToast lynch was really bad and obviously scum-motivated. If they hadn't lynch jilynne D4 I would have facedesk'd.

That's about all from me. I'm glad players (and the odd spectator) enjoyed it. While I could have done better in the lynch/death scene department flavor-wise, I'm personally proud of the job I did with the role PMs. Here they are, by the way, minus win conditions which I had to ad-lib when I sent them out:

Vanilla Townie

Greetings, my good sir! You are a Most Proper but Unspectacular Man of Class, and you are hereby extended invitation to this Exclusive Lodge for Extraordinary Gentlemen. Persistent vigilance is required, for a gentleman must always be prepared to undergo trials of body and mind in his quest to rid his company of rapscallions and rogues. Unfortunately, you are of insufficient rank and status within our organization to be permitted the privilege of importing a dangerous weapon of gunpowder or steel, and as such you only possess the ability to voice your personal albeit venerated opinions and cast a pronouncement of condemnation upon the suspects among your peers.

Miller

Greetings, my good sir! You are a Gentleman of Prim and Proper Class but Possessing a Dubious Reputation Due to Unfortunate Scandal. Persistent vigilance is required, for a gentleman must always be prepared to undergo trials of body and mind in his quest to rid his company of rapscallions and rogues. Unfortunately, you are of insufficient rank and status within our organization to be permitted the privilege of importing a dangerous weapon of gunpowder or steel, and as such you only possess the ability to voice your personal albeit venerated opinions and cast a pronouncement of condemnation upon the suspects among your peers. Nevertheless, despite strict instructions to the contrary, you have smuggled small but nevertheless deadly dagger - an heirloom of your family - into the gathering, and should it be found, it would certainly cast your affiliation in a most improper light.

Bodyguard

Greetings, my good sir! You are an Altruistic and Honorable Gentlemen Steadfast in Courage and Resolve, and you are hereby extended invitation to this Exclusive Lodge for Extraordinary Gentlemen. Persistent vigilance is required, for a proper gentleman must always be prepared to undergo trials of body and mind in his quest to rid his company of rapscallions and rogues. Your mind is hardened against all fears, be it of death or pain, and therefore you have resolved to protect your fellow goodly gentlemen who are endangered by dastardly villains. Alas, should your friend be targeted for murder during that very night, you shall perish in his stead. In addition, you also retain the ability to voice your personal albeit venerated opinions and cast a pronouncement of condemnation upon the suspects among your peers.

Friendly Neighbor

Greetings, my good sir! You are a Friendly Member of High Society Possessing an Indubitable Reputation, and you are hereby extended invitation to this Exclusive Lodge for Extraordinary Gentlemen. Persistent vigilance is required, for a proper gentleman must always be prepared to undergo trials of body and mind in his quest to rid his company of rapscallions and rogues. Throughout your many years as a prominent socialite, you have amassed a considerable reputation for gregariousness and civility. Therefore, once during this exclusive and high-class gathering you may intimately socialize with any gentleman of your choosing, therefore confirming upon that gentleman your status and disposition. In addition, you also retain the ability to voice your personal albeit venerated opinions and cast a pronouncement of condemnation upon the suspects among your peers.

Flavor Cop

Greetings, my good sir! You are a Gentlemen Skilled in the Application of the Scientific Investigative Method Additionally Enthralled by the Writings of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Persistent vigilance is required, for a gentleman must always be prepared to undergo trials of body and mind in his quest to rid his company of rapscallions and rogues. During the day, you only possess the ability to voice your personal albeit venerated opinions and cast a pronouncement of condemnation upon the suspects among your peers. By night, however, you may emulate your literary hero and investigate a target of your choice. You will find an item of that target's possessions, and through your practiced powers of deduction you may conclude as to that gentleman's possible affiliation. You are victorious when every possible villain, rapscallion, and rogue has been executed for their crimes against high society.

Mafia Goon

Greetings, my nefarious knave! You are a Cunning Villain Determined to Undermine and Dismantle this Assembly of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and you are hereby extended invitation to this Exclusive Lodge for Extraordinary Gentlemen. Persistent vigilance is required, for the prim and proper gentlemen of this organization will be determined and driven in their quest to rid themselves of your reprehensible company. By day, you merely have the ability to voice your tainted and corrupt opinions, as well as cast false pronouncements of condemnation upon the patsies and scapegoats of your choosing. By night, however, you and your accomplice in turpitude, _________, may designate a target among the sleeping aristocrats for murder most foul. Victory is achieved when you and your dastardly comrade outnumber the proper gentlemen of the assembly.

In addition, you yourself may personally visit a gentleman and charm him throughout the night, thereby nullifying any nighttime activities available to that gentlemen without his knowledge. Victory is achieved when you are your dastardly comrade outnumber the proper gentlemen of the assembly.

By night, however, you may designate a target among the sleeping aristocrats for murder most foul. Victory is achieved when you alone stand among the fallen corpses of your victims.

CUT CONTENT

Setup originally had a Tracker and no Miller. My reviewer suggested that the Tracker was deceptively powerful, so I modified it to Flavor Cop and added a Miller to compensate.

Tracker

Greetings, my good sir! You are a Gentleman of Experience Regarding the Skills and Techniques Involved in the Hunting of Game, and you are hereby extended invitation to this Exclusive Lodge for Extraordinary Gentlemen. Persistent vigilance is required, for a proper gentleman must always be prepared to undergo trials of body and mind in his quest to rid his company of rapscallions and rogues. Your expeditions and excursions to the wilds of the Dark Continent have endowed you with uncanny instincts and abilities involving the tracking of the clumsy and cunning alike, learned skills which you plan to utilize in your hunt for the villains permeating this affair. In addition, you also retain the ability to voice your personal albeit venerated opinions and cast a pronouncement of condemnation upon the suspects among your peers.

There's actually quite a bit more cut content. When I originally came up with the concept (before I put a setup in stone), I wrote a bunch of sample role PMs for all kinds of roles. I might post them up if you want me to, that'll send me digging into the word documents of my old computer.

[Wraith]

Not really, other than you should have really started going after jilynne instead of inHim. Jilynne started to look really scummy that day precisely because she was tunneling you so hard. When you flipped town, she was obvscum because in hindsight her case on you was crap.
