Revolution! - In Progress

[Warpfire]

Viva La Revolution!

Sorry about being late.

[Jontom Xire]

The revolutionaries storm through the Puce coloured streets, killing all who refuse to join the revolution. The gutters run red with blood until at the end of a long hard day, the battle is won. Then the revolutionaries pull out the buckets and mops to make their streets puce once more, while Gnome Barbarian gives stirring speeches about how brave everyone was.

While counting the bodies you notice that Inky13112 was amongst those supported the existing regime. Swept aside by the revolutionary forces, his broken body lies forlornly in the street.

Now a new regime must be instated. Gnome Barbarian, the hero of the revolution, is picked as the leader of the new state, amidst calls and pleas from the crowd to make the new Pucetopia a safer place, to eradicate these vicious revolutionary agitators ((oh the irony is killing me :)) to make good on the promises he made in his revolutionary speech.

Inky13112, a citizen, was killed.

Day ends, night starts and will end at 9am GMT on Wednesday, or when I have all the necessary night time activity PMs, whichever is sooner.

[Jontom Xire]

You awake and rise from your beds, looking forward to a bright fresh new day. The horrors and bloodshed of tomorrow are behind you and you can look forward to the dawn of a new era. No longer will the nation be troubled by these damn agitators. You can sleep peacefully in your beds.

Outside the Hero of the Revolution's house, a small crowd has gathered. calling joyfully for Gnome Barbarian to arise, awake, and join them. Answer came there none. Finally troubled, the crowd tries the door - it is unlocked. A growing sense of foreboding rises in you as you make your way upstairs. There, murdered in his bed, lies your beloved leader, slaughtered as he slept by the hated partynic agitators.

Gnome Barbarian, a citizen, was killed by Partynic agitators

Night ends, day starts and will end 9am GMT on Thursday, or sooner if everyone votes and we get a 50% majority for a lynch.

[Castaras]

Castaras staggers out of her house, watching those crowding round Gnome Barbarian's house. She turns to look around the crowds, and raises a finger to point at Ink, to try and get the pointing started this round.

It's a gut feeling I have Ink. No hard feelings, I hope, if I'm wrong.

[Ink]

"None whatsoever, but I have a shady feeling about you."

* Ink points at Castaras

[Helgraf]

"Hmmm, already the new day and still quarrelling. Yet I do not know yet whom amongst thee are true puce supporters and whom are merely hiding behind a puce shield your subversiveness."

Helgraf declines to point for the time being.

[Jontom Xire]

Looks like this will be a no lynch day unless some more of you get pointing.

[Helgraf]

Bleh. No real evidence to speak of in either case makes this feel awkward.

* Helgraf points at Ink *

[pingcode20]

Well, snap. Flipping coin now...

[roll0] 1: Ink, 2: Castaras

*Points at Castaras

[DarkCorax]

*Points at Castaras* you have been getting way too many votes over the past few days not to be someone...

[Jontom Xire]

As the day draws to a close, so does the heated argument between Castaras and Ink, each of whom bitterly accuses the other of undermining the fabric of the Pucetopian society you live in. While many of the bystanders join one side of the other, there is not enough of a quorum by the laws to execute either. You all head home to your houses. The air is fraught with bad feeling and fear. Will you live until tomorrow? Will the revolutionaries amongst you kill again tonight?


Day ends, and night starts. Night will end 9am GMT Friday morning or when all night time activities have been resolved.

[Jontom Xire]

After what seems an extraordinarily short night, you rise to the sound of loud music coming from somewhere. On investigating you find it's coming from Castaras' house. You go in to find Castaras house wrecked, her body lying motionless on the floor. As you look closer you see that she's lying on a speaker. The deep bass beat coming from it has turned her insides to jelly, killing her completely.

Castaras, a Peacenik agitator was assassinated by the Partynics


Day starts and will end at 9am GMT Friday.


((I'd just like to make a quick rules clarification. If a revolution is declared in the name of one of the agitator factions (but not necessarily by an actual agitator), and that revolution succeeds, then the game is over and everyone left alive has won except for opposing agitators. This will make quite a good way to get a quick ending to a game, especially since opposing agitators will have to oppose the revolution or lose. It also make it more important to have a good popularity base amongst the citizens. This rule may need tweaking if we play a game and it doesn't work out so well.))

[Castaras]

(( Bah. I'm dead.

Partyniks, damn yoooooou! Villagers, get that partynik! We peaceniks only wanted the best! GOOO VILLAGERS!!!!! ))

[pingcode20]

Pingcode shakes his head, and posts (for the moment) without colour, on account of lack of time.

"Another senseless murder. However, I am beginning to see a pattern here - In the early days of these terrible deeds, Arlanthe led a successful bandwagon against Alarra, who turned out to be one of the vicious, hated partyniks." Pingcode spits on the ground as he says the name. "The next morning, Arlanthe was dead, killed in revenge. Yesterday, Castaras pointed at Ink, and today, she is dead."

He looks at Ink with accusing eyes.

"I believe that she stumbled upon one of the vicious partyniks, may-they-burn-in-hell, in our midst."

*Points at Ink

[Ink]

"Sir, I have been nothing but an upright and responsible citizen of Pucetopia and I have helped bring several agitators to justice. That you are so eager to have me lynched for doing my civic duty is incredibly suspicious. Castaras deserved to die. She was a vile and insidious Peacenik. As was Arlanthe. The fact that you even suggest that their deaths were anything other than a blessing makes you an enemy of puce in my eyes."

* Ink points at pingcode

[pingcode20]

"Hardly. That they were vile peaceniks has no bearing on your guilt - The enemies of puce are at war, and to discount the actions of their members would be foolishness. They deserved death, true, but only a fool ignores the motivations of his enemies."

Pingcode points dramatically at Ink.

"Indeed, you claim you have helped 'several agitators' being brought to justice, but I can count only Alarra on your record, for you sacrificed your fellow partynik to hide your own guilt. You slew Honest Selrahc, whose only crime was being in the wrong place at the wrong time. You slew Poor HyramGraff, who was guilty merely of gaining your ire. You slew Gnome Barbarian, may-his-soul-rest-in-peace, for no more than trying to restore order to the people of Pucetopia!"

His voice suddenly goes soft and sullen.

"Your crimes cannot be forgiven. So, I say, to the gallows with you, and may you find your peace with Puce in the afterlife."

[Jontom Xire]

((There have been almost no votes, and I let the day run on a bit late))

The day ends. The citizens of Pucetopia seem apathetic about their nation, about their fate.

Night starts and will end as soon after all night time activities have been completed or in 24 hours, whichever is sooner, as I can get around to it.

[Jontom Xire]

The citizens of Pucetopia sleep so soundly that it seems but mere moments since they laid their heads down to rest. Indeed the sun is barely up and the streets are in shadow - except outside DarkCorax's house where a strange green glow emanates from the windows.

You hurry over to DarkCorax's house where you find the door open and go inside. There you find DarkCorax dead, a sickly green glow emananting from his mouth and broken glowsticks everywhere. It appears that the glowsticks were laced with cyanide and then the contents forced downt he unfortunate victim's mouth.

DarkCorax, a citizen, was assassinated by the Partynics.

Day starts and will end in 24 hours or sooner if a lynch victim is found.

Three votes are needed for a lynch. I'm guessing, but it looks like the Partynics are heading down the list of players alphabetically. Is DLD even reading this thread any more?

[DarkLightDragon]

Is DLD even reading this thread any more?

Nope, but that happens when internet access is restricted...

[Ink]

"Now that I think about it, Helgraf is a bit more suspicious than pingcode. Helgraf has been keeping a low profile these days. Silent killer, eh?"

* Ink points at Helgraf

[pingcode20]

"Has he now? One could make the same case against DarkLightDragon or Warpfire777. Indeed, that argument could be perfectly valid against all of us!"

*Pointing at Ink, Pingcode continues.

"Indeed, if you wanted to argue that somebody was keeping a low profile, you would be better off trying to argue that DarkLightDragon or Warpfire777 are agitators. Yesterday, only the two of us were awake. This can be interpreted as just as suspicious for us as it is for them. I have made my case against you, and I submit it again, in the hope of my fellow pucetopians having open minds and ears to listen."

[Ink]

Ink looks over at pingcode.

"I said that Helgraf has been keeping a low profile throughout this bloody chain of events, and not just yesterday. The same may be said of Warpfire or DarkLightDragon, but those two are usually quiet anyway."

"And sir, if I were a Partynik, be assured that I'd have killed you! For the moment I don't think you're a puce hater but you're a terrible neighbour! Keep your lousy pets on your own lawn!!"

Ink goes inside his house and slams the door.

[Helgraf]

Simple enough reason for why I keep quiet. When I speak, I get killed. Check my track record -outside of Mafia III, I've gotten lynched or murdered within 2 nights every time I play a game vocally. And I might point out for the record that again - with the exception of Mafia III - I've been a villager type in every single one of those games. So yeah, I tend to keep my yap shut outside of mafia where the story interests me enough to post in spite of myself.

However, since you insist on maligning my good character with these accusations, I feel little good will in keeping you on; and thusly, *Helgraf points at Ink*

[pingcode20]

((You're thinking Mafia III, not II.))

"Hah! If you killed me last night, your status as a dirty partynik would have been confirmed! That's why you struck down DarkCorax, to hide your own misdeeds!"

[Ink]

Ink pokes his head out the window.

"Believe me, if I were a Partynik I'd have taken that chance anyway! It'd be worth it!

Ink slams the window shut and draws the blinds.

[Warpfire]

Warpfire points at Ink. "For the Puce!"

[DarkLightDragon]

*point at Ink

((huh? Why does code show up when typing coloured text?))

[Jontom Xire]

A much diminished citizenry close in on Ink. They then drag him kicking and screaming to the official hangmans platform only to find a lack of noose. Angered the crowd tear the platform to pieces and use the planks and suchlike to beat Ink to death.

Ink, a citizen, was lynched.

In the middle of the night, everybody is awoken by a loud techno thumping sound, coming from the direction of Gnome Barbarian's former home.

On the roof, flanked by a pair of gigantic speakers, a figure is silhouetted against an array of strobe lights, whirling a couple of glowsticks.

"And now, the moment you've all been waiting for!"

The music speeds up and the glowsticks whirl even faster, until suddenly the music is drowned out by an awesome roar. Rising from the fallen hero of the revolution's swimming pool was Godzilla, wearing an enormous red-and-white striped top hat reminiscent of a certain Dr. Seuss character.

Spotlights placed strategically on the ground lit up the atomic lizard, and the figure staring down at the crowd with almost insane eyes.

"I bring you RAVEZILLA!" he cackles, his upper face obscured by an oversized stripy top hat with a single eyehole cut out.

"Let the party begin!"

As the words echo over Pucetopia, Ravezilla opens its mouth and fires a bright blue atomic beam, cutting swaths of destruction across the once idyllic Pucetopia and burning everything the pucetopians' forefathers paid in blood and tears for.

The Partynic agitators have won. If the remaining citizens don't fall in line with the new administration, one of them will be killed tonight and then the agitators will have a majority for the revolution tomorrow.

I'd just like to say how much fun this game was. On night 1 pingcode20 picked Castaras, the Peacenic spy, as his scry target only to be over-ruled by the rest of his team who picked the person that the Peacenic's chose to kill.

A little later, and apparently at random, the Partynics chose to scry one Peacenic and kill one of the other two.

A couple of nights later Castaras chose to scry GB, the same night that the Partynics killed him, thus returning the favour from night one.

I know we didn't have many players, but there were so many coincidences/lucky guesses it made this game incredibly amusing to run.

Please all sign up to Mk II - I think we should have a few more players so maybe could have a third group of agitators.

[Castaras]

Well done Partyniks. Well done Villagers. Well done fellow Peaceniks.

Good game all. Can we have a list of roles?

[Alarra]

*cheers* yay! we won! *parties*
