Story of the Chaos Order of the Dark Mages(WW)-Game Over

[Lassr]

A basic WW game with a Light Mage Seer and 3 Dark Mages plus a power card is dealt to each player each morning. Cannot keep it for more than a day. 1 use per card per day.

Cards: Once used up cards are discarded. Remaining cards are randomly redistributed each morning. If not used cards expire after lynch. Some powers, if used, carry over into the night phase (it will be noted in card info below).

Player must PM the MOD when they are playing a card. Cards are played in order by time they are received in Mods inbox. It is then considered used (exception: If Kaboom is played, all cards afterwards cannot be used. User will just be informed they cannot use the card). Village will not be notified of the user of a card nor how many uses remain for any card.

If you publicly state which card you have in some form that makes it obvious then you lose the ability to use the card. You are free to talk about your card after it is used/performs its function. You can talk about any card that was in your possession after the card leaves your hand. You are free to talk about strategy that can be used IF someone is in possession of a certain card.

FAQ

Lassr, is there a deadline?

not unless someone plays the deadline card

2. Cancel 1 vote (once played, cannot be removed and player that voted cannot vote the same player that round again. No notification a vote is canceled is made to the village) 2 uses.

The vote will be shown in the records but the MOD will not count it in his numbers hidden from players. So the village will know it has been used if a majority is reached and no lynch happens.

The Story of the Chaos Order of the Dark Mages



For centuries the Dark Mages have roamed the world subduing villages with their dark magic. And for centuries the Light Mages have battled to keep the world free.

Dark Mages saw free villages as plights of the land as they have witnessed over the years that a collection of free humans could never make sound decisions. Light Mages thought everyone should be free to make any decision no matter the consequences.

So the struggle has gone on for eons. Dark Mages would convert a village and Light Mages would cleanse a village. Sometimes the Mages would pay the ultimate price by death, but most often it was the villagers that paid with their lives.

Our story begins on the morning of the 450th year and 30th day of Darkness. The Dark Mage Order of Chaos was travelling to the village of Pippenshire to cast a spell to cloud their minds and bring them under the control of the Dark Mages when something unexpected happened.

As they entered the town square Terric cried out “Fizzle!”

The group stopped and looked at Terric. “What is troubling you?” asked Lycoris.

Embarrassed, Terric looks at Dominicus, “I, uh, was going over some spells in my head trying to master them when I thought of the one spell we should never think of.”

Dominicus rubs his temples, “You didn’t.”

“I did.”

“Fizzzle!” Dominicus and Lycoris blurt out at the same time.

They each look up to see clouds beginning to boil in the sky, they began to swirl as water in a drain. The Mages magic had been transferred to the astral plane and they were now powerless thanks to Terric. They could only access one power per day but so could the villagers. They could only regain their power by killing the villagers.
Terric would be severely punished, but only if he survived the coming days.

The villagers also began to notice the clouds, they knew what this sign meant, and most packed up and fled the village. But some remained because they knew it was an opportunity to eliminate another trio of Dark Mages.

As all 13 stood in the town center, small lights began falling from the clouds, like shooting stars, each striking a villager. Each villager was now empowered with a spell.

The battle was on.

The Story of the Chaos Order of the Dark Mages

Hmmm, the Chaos Order of the Dark Mages...

[theohall]

I heard the only good Remus West is a dead Remus West somewhere, but the last time I heard that, it was from his evil partner. <scratches head>

[bb2112]

Sheesh, I try to help you guys and all I get is grief.

[Chaosraven]

Sheesh, I try to help you guys and all I get is grieflynched.

Oh, so that's what it is. I thought it was "a good Remus is a live Remus."

[Mr Bubbles]

So who are all those people we planned to kill right away.. Who has the list?

[Remus West]

So who are all those people we planned to kill right away.. Who has the list?

You have PM. Errr......I mean....you should already know.

Plus, I can get behind lynching bb2112 but maybe Chaosraven should go ahead and shoot him since he implied he has that type of card. Then if bb2112 turns up evil we have a good idea that Chaosraven is not. Plus, if bb2112 turns up good then I get to outlive him anyway which is always good and we could lynch CR for shooting him and I get to outlive them both.

[El Guapo]

I have to say, this is a really nice village we live in. I do have one complaint though - there is way too much light in my house. Is there anyone here that could help me with that?

[Chaosraven]

So who are all those people we planned to kill right away.. Who has the list?

Let's see... Remus and bb2112 for last game. Remus for the prior game.

That's as far as my list goes.

So, should we compromise and start with Remus? Then he can't laugh about outliving either one of us.

Well you vote for him and let's see what everyone else wants to do.

[bb2112]

No, been down that road too many games. Nobody will join in, and you know it. People have some weird aversion to lynching Remus that I don't fully understand.

which is weird, since they can't see his face and that wide eyed innocent "who, me?" look.

32. Daydreamer (No powers thus freeing your mind to roam to whatever subject you desire) 5 cards in play. Unlimited.

What the above sez to me:

I assume that any card that doesn't state it reveals the user can be used without revealing the user. So, there is a little instant death, vote changes, some scanning, a fair bit of 'get out of a lynch' (sometimes redirecting the lynch or votes), powers for the dead (mostly knowledge for the dead or dying), talking with or resurrection of the dead, card stealing/block.

With the number of vote redirects and 'get out of a lynch' cards I expect they'll cause folks to want voting to happen, so as to change the results.

Dead men will tell tales.

Plans will change as cards are stolen or blocked.

I have no idea how this game is going to play out.
