Default Amplify Presents The Civil War

The Civil War - Game idea if anyone wants to run with it.

It's a mafia v. WW type setup.

The Union:
George B. McClellan - Bumbling idiot. Doesn't know he's an
idiot, thinks he's a good general. Vote does not count ever.
If he's the last general left, the north loses.

Ambrose Burnside - Standard Wolf?
Joseph Hooker - Standard Wolf?

William Tecumseh Sherman - Tough son of a bitch. Each night
tries to burn the city of Atlanta. If successfull, the south
loses one general at random.

Ulysses S Grant - Vote counts double every other night.
On alternate nights, is drunk off his ass and kills a random person.

The Confederacy:
Robert E Lee - Kicks all kinds of major ass all over the place.
If the state of Virginia is lynched, switches to the North.

Stonewall Jackson - Serious badass mofo. Guesses once each game night,
player and role. If correct, is told so.

J.E.B. Stuart - Standard Wolf?
Nathan Bedford Forrest - Standard Wolf?
Jubal early - Standard Wolf?


Other players:
Abraham Lincoln - Cannot participate in Union Telegrams, but wins with
the Union. Vote counts double If he is assassinated, is succeeded by
Andrew Johnson, who immediately dies as well.

At any point in the game, Lincoln may issue The Emancipation Proclamation,
freeing the slaves.

Jefferson Davis - Cannot participate in Confederate Telegrams, but wins with
the Confederacy. Vote counts double. If he is assassinated, is succeeded
by a jar of peaches.

The City of Atlanta - Seer. If Sherman finds, is burned to the ground.
The State of Virginia - Seer. If lynched, Marse Robert switches to the Union.
The Slaves - Get no vote unless freed by The Emancipation Proclamation.

this, in particular, made me laugh at a disproportionate level to it's actual funniness.
that's amp's gift.

Here's my thought process while reading this
"lol, amp is making a funny joke"
"wait, is he being serious, this actually sounds good"
"naaaah, this has to be an amp joke"
"hmm, but maybe it could work"

Actually I wasn't even particularly trying to be funny, this is what I get when I try to craft a real game.
