KINGMAKER I (game thread)

[Madtown]

It is EVENING.

The town crier runs through the streets. "THE KING HAS DIED!"

The news spreads like wildfire. Rumor has it that a group of mafia have assassinated the King. In the resulting confusion, they hope to take control of the small country through gang violence and fear. It becomes clear that these murderers must be rooted out and executed, but with the loss of the King, the town has no one to lead them. The town begins to degrade into a lynch mob, killing innocent townsfolk wildly accused of being in league with the mafia. As chaos begins to tear through the town, a single cloaked figure speaks up.

"I am from the Royal Society of Kingmakers," he proclaims, "and I have a solution for your problem." He goes on to explain that ordinary citizens of the town will have the opportunity to act as King for the duration of one day. The King must choose one person in the town to execute. The other citizens may voice their concerns, but, in the end, have no official means to execute another citizen. By making sure one individual controls the power, it will be difficult for the assassins to sway the town too greatly. The cloaked man reveals the shining signet of the Royal Society of Kingmakers and assures the town: "While it may be possible for an assassin to assume the role of the King for a day, rest easy that an honest citizen will always hold the position of Kingmaker. Talk with each other and trust in the Kingmaker's judgment, as they will help shape the fate of our kingdom."

And with those parting words, he vanishes.

Check the thread again. He posted twice, once much before you. Sorry dude.



ALSO. I want to let everyone know that the first EVENING will be extended 1 hour. So traz gets until 1 AM Eastern to make his decision. Then the Detective, Doctor, Mafia, and Kingmaker must get their night choices in to me by 2 AM.

[Andrew Karpinski]

oh my bad ; 0 enjoy the game.

[fnord_too]

Bah, I have so many great lines to drop when I am king.

[wdcbooks]

Hey traz, who do you have a grudge against? I would suggest personal vengeance is a perfectly acceptable motive for a tyrant.

Who wants to suck up to me first.

[amplify]

I'm gonna be the ruler
Of most everything around
From the grandest of the mountains
To the humble common ground
My reign will be a super-awesome thing
Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
