In the game of thrones, you win or you die.
In the land of Westeros, families beyond count vie for wealth, glory, and power. No gains towards these goals come without consequences, of course, and so unrest has swept the land. King Robert Baratheon holds the crown, yet some cannot help but question his descent into drunken merryment while so many of his loyal subjects are unhappy. Many think they can bear the weight of rule more gracefully, more fairly, and certainly more ruthlessly.
But who can survive to sit atop The Iron Throne?
This will be a basic
Phalla, pitting a small, informed "mafia" group against a large, uninformed "village" group. But be wary...for there are yet those that do not align themselves perfectly with each.
Each day, it is your job to
VOTE for the person that you think is trying to take the crown by nefarious means. To eliminate a player, use the
Bold Red format with a similar accompanying phrase. If you wish to retract a vote, use the
Bold Lime format, or simply vote for another player in Bold Red and your previous vote that day will be discarded.
Please state your intent to join the game by typing
Sign Up or similar phrase in Bold Lime. The game will start with a minimum of 20 players, and a maximum of 30.
As usual, please do not quote host-provided PMs directly, nor utilize screenshots to share information. If your group decides to create a proboard, I will require an invite.
Vote close will be at
10 PM Eastern. All actions up to and prior to 9:59 count for that day, any actions at 10:00 and beyond will either count the next day or be discarded.
Clarifications may be requested in
Bold Orange.
Is there conversion in this game?
Not this one.
Do we get to be on HBO?
I won't be the one to rob you of your dreams.
so when is dis gonna start?
Day 1 will likely be Sunday, unless I get 30 people before about 8 or 9 tonight, in which case we can start at 10PM.
Ooooh, will whoever gets the Imp role be required to post witty/snide commentary?
Clarification Denied.
Do ties kill everyone involved?
Ties result in me using my handy-dandy coinflip app.
What is the order of actions? If the vote is not first, does it trickle?
Actions -> Vote, No vote trickle.
On inactivity: If thou dost not vote for two days in a row, or three days total, thou will be likely be either killed most humiliatingly, or torn asunder by wights. Whichever tickles my fancy.
A note on spoilers:
As most of you probably know, there's a TV series currently running tied to The Game of Thrones. I will be doing my best to avoid spoiling actual events from the book and TV show, though if some action is taken by a character in game that coincides with the series, I won't do anything to change it. Just don't point it out, and the people unfamiliar with the story won't be the wiser, so it technically won't be a spoiler, right? If you absolutely MUST talk about the series (despite the
other threads for that), PLEASE USE SPOILER TAGS and indicate (outside the tags) which show/book the spoilers involve.
Also, you do not need to be familiar with the story to enjoy this game.

Roles and Powers (Rather disorganized - I made most up on the spot)
1 Cersei - Seer
2 Jaime - Vig
3 Tyrion - Vote counts x3
4 Joffrey
5 Daenerys
6 Bronn - Guard, Survivor
You are a usurper!
You want the crown, and the throne, and all that good stuff, and you're not willing to play nice to get it. As a group, you may choose one player to kill each night. In addition, most of you have individual talents:
Thetheroo - Daenerys Stormborn (Okay, you don't have a special power)
thorgot - Bronn the Sellsword - You're the usurper's guard. You may block all kills on a single target each night EXCEPT the vote. PM me your targets
stever777 - Tyrion Lannister - Your silver tongue (and silver purse) garner you extra influence when it counts. In this case, it's during the vote, where your vote counts 3 times the normal amount
Alt_Raven - Cersei Lannister - You're quite clever, though some might say TOO clever. Each night, you may PM a name of whomever's special abilities you would like to see.
Spoint - Jaime Lannister - You're an accomplished swordsman, and unscrupulous in your targets. Each night, PM the name of whomever you wish to kill (separate from the group kill)
Extermatott - Joffrey Baratheon - Sorry, you don't have a special ability either.
7 Eddard - Vote counts x3
You are Lord Eddard Stark!
Leader of House Stark and Lord of Winterfell, you live devoutly at the service of King Robert, and wish nothing more than his continued good health and fair reign. As one of the king's close friends, you are very influential, and thus your vote counts 3 times the normal amount.

Spoilers Ho!
Exam time is the perfect time to be doing this
For once, all the random senseless murders will feel as though they fit in the plot!
@Kuhlmeye - this series is so much better than the Wheel of Time.
Possibly, but I have easier access to Wheel of Time. So... I'm starting there.
If I had my way
Super.
Also going to be running a larger game with all the mechanics and characters I won't be able to fit in this mini, but that's a while off, methinks.
