Les Phalles: 3rd night over

Les Phalles a commencé
The year is 179-. The Royal Treasury is empty. Food prices are through the roof. The people have declared that they deserve representation and power in government, creating the National Assembly. Distrust and paranoia permeate the Parisan streets. In the midst of this, 2 major political factions begin to gain power among the people: The Jacobins, and The Girondins, are trying to jockey for the best position while also attempting to win freedom for the French Downtrodden (colloquially called Les Miserables) from the Royalists. Suddenly, terrible news runs through the city like fire: General Lamarck, the last of Louis XVI's inner circle who gave a damn about the people is dead. The last hope of a peaceful Republic is dashed. Riots break out. Fighting erupts in the streets. The Royal Family is forced to flee. Barricades are erected, blocking off streets and neighborhoods. We focus our attention on the neighborhood of Les Phalles, on the street of the same name, and the barricade that has adopted that name as well. Rumors abound of Royalist spies or hard line Jacobin or Girondin fanatics or maybe even something else among the people, carting them off to be guillotined. No one knows who to trust, or where to defend from. Fear and paranoia are the order of the day. Who will survive these terrible days? That's for you to decide. Bienvenue à Les Phalles.

DO NOT USE THE PMed NAMES I GAVE YOU IN THIS THREAD
Please do not delete your PMs until the game is over.
IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS/COMMENTS ABOUT THE RULES, OR YOU WANT TO PLAY IN THE STEAD OF ONE OF THE THREE, OR YOU WANT TO PLAY AFTER ALL: My gtalk is christocbd
The New Voting Mechanic:
First, for someone to die, they must be in Jail.
To put someone in Jail, you vote (in some green, preferably lime) !vote [someone] for Jail
The three most popular votes will be put in jail. The jail only holds seven at any given time. If more than 7 are put in jail, the ones that have been in the longest are set free. Also, you can vote someone out of jail using the same mechanism as blocking a vote, but !vote for [someone's] Freedom
Once someone is in jail, the next night they can be Guillotined.
Like so: I !Vote [Name] for the chop/guillotine/execution
You can also block votes for jail or for the guillotine, like this:
I !block [Name] from Jail
To block a vote, a majority by at least half again must vote to block (except in some special cases, which are secret)
You cannot block your own death or vote for your unjailing. You can vote to block your jailing, however.
If you change your vote, use
!retract my vote to Block/Jail [Name]
To change Freedom votes, use
I !retract freeing [Name]
However, to change death votes, use
!retract my vote to Kill [someone]
You can only vote to block one thing, either jailing or death. Therefore, you have a maximum of four different things to vote for (except the first round, obviously). You do not have to use all of them every single time.
IF YOU ARE IDLE WITHOUT TELLING ME FOR TWO DAYS IN A ROW, BAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN
Some special abilities will be known to the users. Others will be revealed through the course of the game.
The goal of the factions (Jacobin, Girondin, Royal) is to eliminate the other two. (YOU ARE KIND OF LIKE THE MONSTERS)
The Downtrodden (Les Miserables) win if every faction has been dwindled down to less than half. They must also be in the majority (More than all the factions put together) by the end. (YOU ARE KIND OF LIKE THE VILLAGERS)
The shorthand I will use for sides will generally be the first three letters or so. (i.e. Jac, Gir, Roy, or Les Mis) I may use it for all of them, but I'll use it the most for Les Miserables, The Downtrodden.
One midnight gone!
The second night
Three sleeps have passed

So yeah, I'm in, as long as the first vote is tomorrow night.
NNID: Hakkekage
Yeah, seems that way.
If you ever need to talk to someone, feel free to message me. Yes, that includes you.
Yes, I'll change that.
Will there be vigilante-style executions within groups, or any other source of lost-life, since the conversion mechanic got axed?
EDIT: also ditto a_alt's sentiments, I love this setting and I love you by proxy<3
I would imagine/hope so.
4 groups, three of them more or less equivalent to the bad guys. Victory conditions are a little different, and I think the three groups are larger than the traditional 3-4 man groups.
NNID: Hakkekage
Also were the genders choosen random?
3DS: 2852-6809-9411
I have to go drive my sister somewhere, PMs should be done and out by 9:30
Characters were completely random, wasn't really thinking about gender.
Is the recruitment mechanic (downtrodden -> faction) still around?
I don't think so.
In half an hour if FS is on track.
3DS: 2852-6809-9411
You got beat'd, hazzah!
*can I be a cool special?*
3DS: 2852-6809-9411
Only if it's for Rygar.
Blind vendettas are more entertaining than I had thought. I should do this more often.
Your arrogance will be your downfall Count Vishnub of the Royal Court.
They're going to be slightly different, but on the whole, they will be the same.
That'll do it. RP me into oblivion.
:roll:
How do you rape someone into oblivion?
Rape you so hard that the friction gets hot enough to disentigrate you.
3DS: 2852-6809-9411
That sounds fairly unpleasant.
I think sandpaper might be involved.
3DS: 2852-6809-9411
I use sandpaper condoms.
Another hour, another destiny
and we will see what our roles will be
This man who seems to know my power
Will surely make me totally badass
One hour more...
NNID: Hakkekage
There is a pain that can't be spoken
As the procrastination goes on and on
Empty PMs in empty inboxes
While my essay is only half done
Here we pray for something awesome
Here we pray to be some special
Here we sing about being Seers
But our visions never caaaaaame
NNID: Hakkekage
Fuck the Lighthouse, I say.
