    Castrania was a very militaristic land. It always seemed to be at war with some kingdom or another. But this time, the kingdom is at war with itself.

    Inside the grand throne room, King HD called for 7 of his advisers, his finest general, his son the Prince, and the Prince's most loyal companion.

    "Gentlemen, shut the door please." The door was shut.

    "Now, gentlemen, I know 4 of you have been conspiring to have my finest General take over my throne. In fact, in my old age, I cannot keep it. However, when I die, it is my son's turn to take the throne, and I can't allow you, my General, to take his place. Therefore, I will have all of you conspirators executed. Unfortunately, I can't tell the difference between any of you, so we'll have to do this the hard way."

    A loud click was heard.

    "This will be your new home for a time. You will settle this dispute among yourselves with logic and reason."

    One of the 10 gathered men turned and bolted for the door.

    King HD chuckled. "Oh, don't even bother trying." He pressed a button on his throne and a large noose swooped down from the ceiling, effortlessly picking up the conspirator by the neck. The man hung there, dead.

    "Make that 3. If any of you try to run or don't conform to my rules, that will happen to you. Got it?"

    Rules:

    General Rules:

    • All sitewide rules should be followed at all times.
    • In all interactions with me, you must be honest.
    • Do not contact any player in or outside of the game about the game unless I specifically allow you to do so. When allowed, only do so in the specific manner allowed.
    • Do not attempt to access another player's information by technological means (such as hacking).
    • Do nothing that would be considered cheating.
    • Do not quote your role PM, take a screen capture of it, etc. You may paraphrase the role PM.
    • Do not attempt to analyze the mechanics of a role PM in comparison to other players. For example, "the fourth word of my role PM is town." Or "my PM was sent at 11:23, when was yours?"
    • Do not attempt to use a system of robust cryptography, etc. Do not use small or invisible text to attempt to avoid detection.
    • At no time should there be pre-game alliances made.
    • You are expected to be an active participant in this game. Do not flake.
    • If you know you are going to be absent a particular amount of time, post in game and PM me that you will be V/LA. Please include the date you plan to be back and posting. You will receive a courtesy prod (doesn't count towards your total prods or prods for the day) upon the end of your V/LA.
    • Each player gets a single vote to use during the day that they may change as many times as they wish to vote for any player.
    • When a majority of players are voting for an certain player, that player is "lynched" and removed from the game.
    • Players may vote for "No Lynch." If at least half of the players vote for a "No Lynch," the day ends without a lynch.
    • No racist, homophobic, sexist, etc. language may be used.
    • Harassment of an individual player is NOT permitted. It is the nature of the game that players will be antagonistic toward each other at times. However, it should always be kept in the spirit of a game.
    • Always play to your win condition. Never sabotage your team's chances simply because you're angry at them.
    • Do not discuss ongoing games in the game.
    • Do not discuss this game anywhere else with anyone else.
    • I reserve the right to alter any rule in the game
    • If I make a mistake on a vote count, please address it in thread in bold.
    • PM me with any other concerns.
    • I have the final say in everything.

    Game Specific Rules:

    1. Days are 7 days long; Day 1 has a twilight that is 1 day long for the purposes of the Loyalist's ability. Pregame will be 48 hours.
    2. Do not edit your posts.
    3. If you go on V/LA for a week or longer, you will be forcibly replaced. If this happens, please attempt to find a replacement before you leave.
    4. Post at least once every real day. If you do not post for 24 hours, you will be prodded (except for short V/LAs). If you get prodded 3 times, you will be forcibly replaced.

    The Setup:

    Great Expectations is an experimental Open setup designed for 9 players.

    • This game is a semi-White Flag setup. If the General is the last mafia member standing, they will surrender and lose.
    • This game is nightless; there will be no night phases at any point during the game.

    This game contains the following roles:

    • 1 Prince
    • 1 Loyalist
    • 1 General
    • 2 Conspirators
    • 4 Courtiers

    Here is a list of the Role PMs in the game:

    Prince:

    Welcome to Great Expectations Mafia, Your Majesty! You are the Prince!

    The leading general of the King's Royal Army has attempted to take over the throne in your place! How utterly ridiculous! This new development has you in all sorts of a paranoid rage; you certainly don't want some lowborn general taking your rightful spot as King!

    Abilities:

    If, at any point during the game, you are lynched before Day 4, one random Courtier will be killed in the ensuing chaos. However, if you are alive at the start of the 4th day, you may PM me <DAY 4 - REVIVE - PLAYER AND PLAYER> to bring both of those players back in Spirit Form. Players in Spirit Form will be able to post, but will be unable to vote or count as alive for the purposes of the lynch threshold.

    You win with the Prince's Men; you win when all Conspirators except the General himself are eliminated.[/HIDE]

    Loyalist:

    Welcome to Great Expectations Mafia, good man! You are the Loyalist.

    You are the Prince's most loyal companion! When you heard that the General was planning to overthrow the Prince as next King of Castrania, you decided you'd do everything it took to help your Prince!

    Abilities:

    After the first lynch, there will be a 24 hour twilight period where you can send me the following message: <DAY 1 - STAND BY - TARGET>. If your target is still alive on Day 4, their role will be revealed to everyone. If that player dies before Day 4 and is aligned with the Conspirators, you will die along with them.

    You win with the Prince's Men; you win when all Conspirators except the General himself are eliminated.[/HIDE]

    General:

    Welcome to Great Expectations Mafia, SIR! You are the General,SIR!

    Not to offend you or anything, SIR! But you are attempting to take the throne by force when the Prince deserves it, SIR! Er, I mean, no one deserves it more than you, SIR!

    Abilities:

    During pregame, you must PM me <NIGHT 0 - RECRUIT - PLAYER AND PLAYER>. These two players will be the other members of the Conspirators. Also during pregame, you must PM me <NIGHT 0 - TARGET - PLAYER AND PLAYER>. If either of those players are alive during Day 4 and you are still alive, you may PM me <DAY 4 - EXECUTE - PLAYER AND/OR PLAYER> to kill them. You can only kill players you targeted during pregame! But watch out, if you are the last Conspirator alive, you will know you can't continue the fight; you'll give up and lose!

    You win with the Conspirators; you win when the number of Conspirators is equal to or greater than the number of Prince's Men remaining.[/HIDE]

    Courtier:

    Welcome to Great Expectations Mafia, good sir! You are a Courtier.

    You are a royal court adviser. Unfortunately, that doesn't really clear much up because the conspirators are all advisers too. Oh well, who cares!

    Abilities:

    You do not have any special abilities.

    You win with the Prince's Men; you win when all Conspirators except the General himself are eliminated.[/HIDE]

    Conspirator:

    Welcome to Great Expectations Mafia...I guess. You are a Conspirator with XXX (General) and YYY (Conspirator).

    You may communicate with your team members in The General's Barracks.

    The General has you convinced that if he takes over the throne, life will be better for everyone involved. You agreed to help him on his quest for the good of the kingdom, but hopefully that nasty King won't kill you first!

    Abilities:

    You do not have any special abilities.

    You win with the Conspirators; you win when the number of Conspirators is equal to or greater than the number of Prince's Men remaining.[/HIDE]

    The General has been given their Role PM.

    They will have 24 hours to make their pregame decisions (April 4 @ 4:00 PM EST) in order to avoid player activity WIFOM.

    Delayed the game by confirming in the wrong thread. Obviously needs time to plan with his scum team.

    Hey IFM, care to explain why you viewed the thread without responding to Li's question? Yeah, it's dumb in terms of content, but that doesn't diminish the value to were ignoring it is acceptable, at least at this point in the game.

    Because the answer is an obvious no. Bebbz did the same thing with my post and I believe Fegelein did as well with your vote. Why call me out on viewing the thread and not responding to a vote if you arent going to ask them as well?

    @IFM, it's because you had a question asked of you.

    and Amazing meowmix, best post in the entire thread. Though IFM has a valid point about people doing nothing, starting to think the theory propose in the sign-up thread might be correct.

    for the record I actually don't plan on voting for anyone else until like D3 or unless I see irrefutable evidence that someone else is scum

    pretty sure KX is bad anyway, so my random vote will probably be correct yay!

    Wow, pledging to not use your vote to help the village until late game and claiming somebody is scum without any evidence or even reasoning, gj Meow, you are a symbol of pro-town effort to us all.

    Except I was near cleaned and then actually cleaned and had a "fuck everything" attitude (which, tbf, was apt considering the game) while now you're just outright hurting the town if you stick true to your claim, and considering that everybody here is reasonably competent, I think the game deserves better. If you're making a jest about my tunneling of MS, I didn't latch unto him until quite late into the game, I did contribute to other discussion, I never said I wouldn't vote other people, and there was reasonable evidence so it was far from random vote. Anyway, you done making petty jests, and ready to actually try and find the scum (assuming you need to find them . . ?)

    Really not liking the overreaction to Meow's vote here. It comes across as if Meow's fishing for reactions atm, and he certainly got one. Also, I like how he brings up the Fuck Everything attitude, then makes artificial attempts to recreate it.

    Really? Tbh, I actually care about this game a little, good player list etc. Like, seriously, were do you get the "I attempt to artificially recreate it" thing? Otherwise, yeah, well duh, I don't think any of us here are nube enough that we don't know what a reaction test is.

    KX, you conjecture that Meow is harming the village, and yet you fully acknowledge the fact that you should've recognised an obvious reaction test. Rather than react in a calm manner however, as someone who clearly shouldn't be under pressure from such a thing, you instead decided to explode. The way I see it, this is one of two things. You're playing along and directly harming the village by implicating yourself as scum - which is worthy of a lynch in itself - or you are actually scum, and are a little bit pissed off that you're being targetted so early. I'm very tempted to lynch you, but I want you to other something a little more substantial to explain your actions, rather than a simple "why you pointing out the obvious?" (especially since your actions imply you didn't acknowledge said "obvious").

    This is an expert game, so I don't see you as a one-trick pony, especially if you're Town again. If you're going to start behaving like you were in SS in order to constitute yourself being clean, then that's just sloppy scum behaviour.
