Mafia DotA Lynch Game #22

OOC Thread Here

(It's probably #22)

Yo-ho-ho, Reaper here. It's been over a year since the last DLG by me, time sure flies. Due to popular demand by a bunch of loyal masochist players, I shall be rerunning the Civil War game from game #19 and #21. Same rules, same hero pool. Here's our players this round:

1. @Nyann
2. @Enigma
3. @Blitz
4. @Lurking
5. @Cuddles0_0
6. @Lemonfairy
7. @yuzen
8. @Fossil
9. @Ddraig
10. @Axiel
11. @MadraRua
12. @Kumo723
13. @juniorjawz
14. @IBasciallyDoWrk
15. @Alka
16. @Hasr11
17. @LNOnlineOtaku
18. @GonZ555
19. @Darkcrow.
20. @Joker13
21. @Imawa
22. @Chemane
23. @zhainan2157

Day/Night cycle is 24/24 hours, at 8PM my time (4 hours from this timestamp) starting tomorrow. Estimated game duration is 10 days, but it could last between 1-2 weeks so it's better to back off if you dont have the time.

Normally it's run with 21+ players, so I'll keep registration open until about 24 hours from now. Then I'll distribute the roles and start the poll, as per usual. Please make sure you understand the rules, since this one's branching quite far from standard game.

PS: There's a lot of new faces here. Do keep in mind that at the end of the Day phase players may still chat in the thread for one hour. Use the time wisely to lament your fate and/or curse the gods. I really should add this to the OOC thread (does anyone even read it these days)

Spoiler: Flavor Text

Long time ago, the Radiant was glorious. Innumerable trials tested them again and again, from their mortal enemies the Dire until all sort of psycopath bent on nothing but chaos. These enemies outside made their bond stronger, for they were weak by themselves and only by uniting together that they could have hope to survive.

Finally, after the embers died and the dust settled, the Radiant stood battered and bloodied - but triumphant. The Dire destroyed and its remnant scattered to the wind, the disorganized Neutral rabbles crushed by sheer number, and even the Unspekaable Ones beaten back to the pit where they belong. Golden age dawned.

And yet, good times never last.

Decadence and corruption took root as the Radiant lose the one thing chaining them together - the presence of outside threat. Factions form, differing philosophy further driving the chasm that broke apart the once illustrous superpower. They forgot that only by uniting together they could stay strong, blinded by greed of becoming the single faction lording over the Radiant. The inner conflict allowed some surviving Dire leaders to reunite their own faction amidst the chaos, yet after being surpressed for so long, the weak-minded ones wasn't all that resistant to collide with the enemies.

And now, it all culminated into one final clash. The Radiant's corrupt ruling factions would try their best to slay their rivals, even as they consolidate the free folks. Meanwhile the United Creep Confederacy, still true to the way of the Radiant, would attempt to deconstruct the ruling factions amid the chaos. In the darkness the Dire moved, long-seething lust for vengeance permeated them even as traitorous element infested their ranks.

Could the Radiant regain their lost glory? Or would a new Dire tear it from the smoldering, dead hands of their eternal foes? If anything's certain, mountain of corpses and river of blood shall mark the rise of the victors...

Oh cool!! I'm second unless someone steal this post

 

I was reading on NU when I saw the thread at the top of the page. It’s been a while since I have played...Many a new and old faces are mixed in this one. May I join the game?

 

Whoop, let the carnage begin!!!!

 

@AliceShiki and @Bielt are probably interested in watching

 

!vote @A5G_Reaper

 

All hail the Union! We serve the Soviet Yunyun!!

 

Man I dont wanna be a free creep this game. Please Reaper-kami

 

She is alive!!!

 

I suggest adding a neutral jester for the extra role required for imawa to join

 

Yes. I am alive. That’s what quarantine does to you.

They will be simple observers or are they subs?

Did you just poke at the evil god herself? Someone is going down the worst end route....

Even I won’t mind being in the union, the union chat of the previous game was one of the most fun moment there....

 

i serve only the One true lord of smiles @Lenaia

 

Nah, if it went over 21 I'll just add the creeps.

 

But neutral = more chaos = more fun.

 

We already have too many factions, it’ll be a game full of crazies, and players like me who rely on pure logic....





we’ll go insane with all the backstabbing and chaos.

 

But more creeps = more chance you'll get one
