MAFIA GAME: MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL
The story is based on the movie Monty Python and the Holy grail. You will attempt to rid the land of the dreaded Knights Who Say Ni, and perhaps other disastrously evil creatures. Unless of course you're one of them, in which case, nuts to those silly pointy-headed knights who are wipers of other people's bottoms. Join the legendary King Arthur of the Britons, defeater of the Saxons, sovereign of all England, and his trusty servant Patsy, as they clomp all over England using the awesome power of coconuts to get them where they are going, and watch as he and his trusty Knights of the Round Table embark on a sacred quest to find the Holy Grail. Along the way, you will meet others who are friendly to his cause, and some who are not so friendly. Especially that killer rabbit... it's a foul-tempered rodent... a creature so foul, so cruel that no man yet has fought with it and lived! Bones of full fifty men lie strewn about its lair. So, brave knights, if you do doubt your courage or your strength, come no further, for DEATH AWAITS YOU ALL!!! WITH NASTY, BIG, POINTY TEETH!!!!
RULES
Custom Rules:
1. Day Phases will be 24 hours if everyone has voted. If there are some missing votes, a 24 hour extension may be granted.
2. Night Phases will be 24 hours if all orders are in. I do allow orders to be sent in "ahead of time" so that if you anticipate not being online that day, I still have your orders. Under some circumstances I may grant an extension for the night phase, but remember, that can cause problems when you proclaim your innocence. Be wise and send your orders in early.
3. Copying, quoting, translating (turning into a foreign language for someone else to read as a loophole around the rules) the ROLE private message (PM) I send you, screenshots, and chatlogs (direct quotes from instant messenger chat) are explicitly and totally banned. Do not circumvent this rule or you will be WOG'ed (die due to the Wrath of God- the game moderator, me) immediately. However, private communication outside of the game thread is allowed. Do not intentionally try to find a loophole to the above rule, such as asking "what is the fourth letter in your role PM?" because I design the game to make such chicanery useless, and it is also unethical as it is an attempted loophole. If you wish to do something which you might think goes against the SPIRIT of the rules, please contact me for approval first, and you might be surprised, I might say Okay.
4. Please follow all other CivFanatics forum rules regarding conduct, and please try to refrain from showing hostility toward another player. It is only a game, please cool yourself off before posting. You are allowed to criticize decisions made by other players, but I frown upon calling people stupid, etc. Please refrain from using profanity, or posting off-topic content or obscene imagery.
5. Please try to remain active. If you need to drop out for whatever reason, please contact me and I will replace you with an inactive player. If you miss two consecutive voting rounds, you may be replaced.
6. Feel free to ask me anything in private. I may not answer your specific question though if it reveals information you aren't supposed to have.
7. Votes shall be bolded and in the
vote: Methos
format, and if you wish to change your vote, I'd prefer it if you posted in the
unvote, vote: Matrix
format. This makes it easier for me to locate your votes and your vote changes. This may be different from the format you're accustomed to. I'll try to be flexible.
8. FORCED CLUES and MULTIPLE VOTING- Nope!
Apparently we have a culture clash. You're familiar with mafia games where you have multiple votes and the mafia are required to leave true/false clues. That's a variation that I am not familiar with and I am not employing. Players will have one vote apiece, and clues will come in the form of investigative results if there is an investigator, in-thread activity, voting patterns, and subtle write-up hints.
Not familiar with my style of games? Check out my other mafia game that I just recently hosted, The Chainsaw Gang. This one will be mostly humorous and not as dark, but some of the writeups will be violent as usual. I'd have to play a few games the way you're used to playing it in order to feel comfortable hosting one that way.
_____________________
I would like LOTS of players for this one, because if we do have lots of players I can add in some of the extra special bonus characters which would otherwise cause an imbalance of power in a smaller game. You want a fun, silly, challenging game? Please give me a bunch of players.
Signups: Gunning for at least 30 players, please! More is always better!

Who's that then?

Bravely bold Sir Sprig rode forth from Camelot. He was not afraid to die, oh brave Sir Sprig. He was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways, brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Sprig. He was not in the least bit scared to be mashed into a pulp, or to have his eyes gouged out, and his elbows broken. To have his kneecaps split, and his body burned away, and his limbs all hacked and mangled, brave Sir Sprig. His head smashed in and heart cut out, and his liver removed, and his bowels unplugged, and his nostrils raped and his bottom burned off and his penis...
