Revolution! - In Progress

* Posting to show continued interest *

[DarkCorax]

*also posting to say I will play*

[Lord Magtok]

I'm still in.

[Warpfire]

Still in I am.

[inky13112]

I'm still in this. Gotta reread the rules though

[Helgraf]

This sounds ... complex. But I'll give it a try.

[Jontom Xire]

We now have 16 plus one possible except that I think Gezina dropped out of all such games a while back, so I'm not hopeful.

I'm proud and happy to announce that Supagoof will be co-narrating.

More soon.

[Jontom Xire]

Hi, all.

You should now all have a PM from me, with a CC to Supagoof as co-narrator, telling you what your role is. Opening post coming soon. Because of the number of players, there are only two groups of agitators, not four. The Partynics and the Peacenics. Don't forget that you can recruit citizens to bolster your numbers. However agitators cannot infiltrate other agitator groups. Recruitment will work as follows: The agitators must vote (by PM to me and Supagoof) to accept a player and the player must PM us to say they want to apply. There will then be an initiation ceremony. If the player is in fact an agitator for a different group, they will end the ceremony dead. Otherwise they will learn the identity of all the agitators of the group, and from thereon be considered an agitator.

As the sun rises over the nation of Pucetopia, you awake, yawn, and stretch. You rise from your bed, pushing aside the puce bedcovers and walk to the window, drawing aside the puce curtains. As you do every morning, you marvel at the beautiful vista of puce coloured houses you see.

Ever since the revolution thirty years ago, when the citizens rose up in revolution against the corrupt fascist government of the time, demanding that puce be made the national colour, the country has been at peace. Oh what glorious days. The streets ran red with blood, for a while. Then they were quickly cleaned and painted a delightful puce colour.

But that was a long time ago. Years have passed, and with them has come a new generation. A restless generation. They seem less willing to accept the puce-oriented values of their forebears. Gangs of rebellious teenagers can be seen hanging around on street corners wearing such off-puce colours as purple, or even (shock horror) maroon! Behind closed doors and around pints in the pub, there are whispers of revolution.

As a loyal citizen of Pucetopia, you know it is your duty to root out the agitators behind this talk of revolution and execute them for treason of the most non-puce kind.

[DarkLightDragon]

((That was an amusing opener...))

[Jontom Xire]

Thanks, DLD.

Btw I forgot to mention that Day 1 ends 9:00 am Friday GMT (once I've had a chance to settle into work). Don't forget you need 50% votes to lynch someone. Then night will start and the agitators get their chance to get involved.

[Ink]

((I'll get the ball rolling, shall I.))

"Gah! Crazy mental weirdos with their crazy mental ideas. They think they can disrupt our peaceful perfect puce existence with their wacko colours? Not under my watch. Let's get them! Starting with that one, I could've sworn I saw him wearing a dark shade of mauve the other day."

* Ink points at Captain Van Der Decken

[Castaras]

(( Day 1 points! Yay! ))

Castaras shrugs, and points at Lord Magtok.

I don't like the looks of that guy.

[inky13112]

MMM yes that lord magtok fellow doesn't seem very much like a good, puce fearing pucenik like the rest of us. Lets get him off the streets shall we?

((Haha! awesome opener))

[HyramGraff]

*Points at DarkCorax* {COLOR="Puce"}Your teapot doesn't look very puce to me. You must be a rebel.{/COLOR}

((Which of these board colors is closest to puce anyway?))

[Warpfire]

Warpfire looks around, brushing off his puce colored clothing, and hears the meager arguements against Magtok. Immediately convinced, he shouts, "Death to those who defy the puce!" And points at Magtok.

[Lord Magtok]

(( Day 1 points! Yay! ))

Castaras shrugs, and points at Lord Magtok.

I don't like the looks of that guy.

You should talk. You're speaking in Dark Slate Gray, puce-hater!

*Points at Castaras.*

[Arlanthe]

* Steps out onto the street *

Indeed, and alas. Once again the winds of change stir this land. * Dons his puce boulder hat, and grabs his walking stick* I can only hope the undercurrents do not sweep me away, as they did my grandfather, Heironymous Arlanthe III. I fear for my land, and the path of reason.

* A tattoo across Arlanthe's right arms reads "832323" *

[Jontom Xire]

The sun is high in the sky as the citizens of Pucetopia break off for lunch. There have been a few accusations flying about, but fewer than half of the citizens have been certain enough of another citizen's guilt to suggest they be executed, and those that have can barely agree on who is most likely to be a treasonous revolutionary agitator. There are still a few hours before the end of the day when, by law, accusations leading to a public execution must cease until the following day. Perhaps things will heat up in the afternoon.

(( Because the game is just starting, and because there has been so little posting, I'm going to extend the day until I get home this evening. Don't forget you need 8 votes to execute someone. ))

[pingcode20]

"As a loyal citizen, I say death to those who do not speak the great Puce!" yells Pingcode, pointing at Castaras

[Selrahc]

*Points at Magtok*

We need 8 votes to kill the puce hater. We have 5. Come loyal pucetopians, and execute the hater of puceness and puceosity.

[Atreyu the Masked LLama]

Hmmm....(Magtok hasn't been lynched early in any game I'm thinking of right now and he's still alive in a few. He'll do.)

*The puce colored llama points at Magtok*

[Alarra]

"Puce Hater!"
*Alarra points at Magtok

[Arlanthe]

I can only turn the tide at the waxing. All eyes appear to be on this Magtok fellow. What will become of him? Is he a citizen? A peacenic? A partynic?

The eyes of the public dart his way. I feel the currents. I like my hat.

[pingcode20]

"Puce Eternal! Let the Puce Hater burn!"

*Points at Magtok

[Jontom Xire]

One more vote needed for Lord Magtok or no lynching. ))

[Captain van der Decken]

"I say! All loyal citizens should use the colour puce!"

*points at Lord Magtok*

[Selrahc]

"I say! All loyal citizens should use the colour puce!"

*points at Lord Magtok*

Maybe we should vote in puce....

[Supagoof]

And that does it.

The crowd surrounds Lord Magtok. His face twitches. he begins speaking in a monotone voice that sounds like a speak n spell. It seems the android side has taken control...

Puce = Good.
Puce = Good.
Puce = Good.
Puce = Good.
Puce = Lord Magtok in trouble.
Therefore Puce must not = Good.
But Puce = Good.
Fatal Error.
System Meltdown.

A crack appears across the robotic eye of Lord Magtok. His body goes limp, and he falls to the ground.

Lord Magtok, a citizen, was killed.

Night Begins.

[Arlanthe]

Alas. Poor Lord Magtok. He never knew what hit him.

((For the record, you are all using pink, not puce. This is puce.))
