BackStabbery II: Night's Peril - Game Thread

[Fin]

Lord Finoch Decano finished up his shopping in the local market placeand began to make his way home, just as the sun was disappearing over the horizon. His shadow long behind him Fin was completely unaware that he was being followed... By five assassins!

As he turned into an alley way (a simple short cut?) he was accosted by the first!

Time to die Decano! Once your outta the picture my house will reign supreme!

Not if I kill him first! Yelled the second assassin as he dropped form a roof top!

Or me!

Or me!

Don't forget me!

Now surrounded by five opposing assassins Fin senses his escape!

Well the obvious solution to your little dilemma here is to all kill each other! The last man standing get s to kill me!

That does seem reasonable!

One second! While we are all killing each other, your gonna try and run away! You can't pull that one off against craft one-eyed Jimmy!

Damn, but the only other option is that you all kill me and that would plunge all five rival houses into a house war, starting chaos that you five surely don't want!

The five assasins look at each other, offering up a brief but knowing grin...

Fin was killed, he was societies keystone! Let the chaos begin!



The Rules

To begin with every player will be assigned a house at random and that house leader will give you a rank within that house.

Leader – The boss of the house, your responsibility is to distribute the gold/power levels amongst your minions. All guild leaders start the game with 50 power levels to distribute as they see fit.

Lieutenants – Maximum of two players will be House Lieutenants, their responsibility will be to announce house wars to the thread. They also start with a bonus to power of +5. Lieutenants will be selected by the house leader at the birth of each new house!

Minions – You are to generally live the life of a civilian, doing as you leader demands... or not!

After the first day phase has been completed the houses will be ranked in accordance with their leader's personal power level (because there will have been no time to buy any power levels so every House would have the same accumulative score). After this when a House is destroyed all the houses below it will gain a rank and any new Houses that are made will enter the ladder at the bottom rung. Also after each day phase the houses will be re-ranked according to their accumulative power level.

Every player will start with 50 gold and a power level which will at the lowest be 10. Using their gold players can do a number of things;

Start a new house 50g – In order to start a new house you must have at least one player for every rank willing to join it from its birth. The house will give +50 power to the guild leader but he must delegate this between his House members. It is entirely up to the house leader how he recruits members. Take note - House members do not have to remain loyal to their leaders. Inter-House wars can occur and the loser’s power will be given to the guild leader to do with as he wishes. The losing leader is at the mercy of the winning guilds leader and his house dissolved, allowing his members to start/join new Houses. To start all the houses will be ranked randomly, every time a house is destroyed the houses below it gain in rank, the aim of the game is to be the most powerful player in the highest ranked house by the end of the game. Like in Ultimate Greed each guild leader will receive daily gold payments to distribute amongst his minions.

Train in a profession 25g - This is unavailable to Guild leaders who must try and recruit and maintain the loyalties of those whom it is available to.

Start a House War 10g per house member- Announces a house war and gives everybody 24 hours to prepare. After 24 hours the war will occur and the party with the highest power will win, however due to murders, betrayals etc the power at the beginning of the fight may change before the end. The leader does not need the permission of his underlings for their gold, but reperations may be taken by players being forced to pay for wars they don’t wish to have!

Buy A Power Level: At the rate of one level for 30g

Professions

Players can only have one profession at a time;

Assassin - Gains +15 power when attacking another guild or attempting murder.

General - Gains +15 power when being attacked by another guild or when someone is trying to murder them.

Thief – Can target a player to steal from, a random figure will be stolen ranging between 1 and 30. There will also be a 20% chance that the victim will know who stole from them!

Spy - Can identify a house/individuals power, assuming nobody is planning on betraying them.

Diplomat - Can create the illusion that a guild/individuals power is higher than it really is by 1-d100%.

Monk - Can hide an guild/individuals power by 1-d100%.

Treachery! - This is where it gets interesting.

During any 'day' players can PM certain actions.

Start Coup - This means at the end of the day the will attempt to murder their current House leader and rise to power, this is best done in groups in order to better the leaders power level, deciding who gets to be leader amongst each other is entirely up to you. Members of other house may be included in the coup! This strategy will be beneficial if you covet the power of an established house! The victims power levels will be evenly distributed amongst those that took part in the killing.

Murder - This is an attempt to kill any other player. If they are a guild leader, the guild remains in tact but there will probably be murderings over who raises to power from the guilds underlings. If you kill any other player you will gain their gold and any all their power levels excluding the levels they gain from proffessions. Success will be based on each players individual power, irrelevant of the power of respective houses. If you kill a player as part of a group then the victim’s power levels and gold will be ditsibuted evenly amongst the guilty party!

*note - any murder/coup attempts that are submitted during war preparations will be concluded during the battle, this will obviously lead to some unexpected (or not) power changes.*

Change allegiance - When a war is announced use this to alert the narrators to the fact that you are changing sides it is up to you if you let any body else know this fact. You will however still be without a guild after the battle if the team you switched to wins, hopefully you will have made a deal to be picked up afterwards.

Change Guild - This is not PM'd but announced in thread, if a player chooses to change guild they must ask in thread (prior arrangement can be organised via PM should those concerned choose.) This request may be accepted or denied at the leader in questions choosing.

Day Actions: (Brand new to BackStabbery II)

At the beginning of every day (starting day 2) the town squire will put up adventure notices. Every adventure will end in one of the following results;

A random number of the players gain some gold.

A random number of the players gain some power levels.

A random number of the players die.

In order to be involved in the adventures the players must be voted for in blue! The players in question may well not be going on the adventure of their own volition, seeing as any number of people could vote! However due to the adventures only having a 1 in 3 chance of a anegative outcome it may be worth the risk. The five players with the most votes will go on the adventure, if less than five are voted for then less than five will go!

Adventures will be concluded separately to the rest of the night phase i.e. Only other players on the adventuring party can attempt to kill each other! However the adventure will be concluded prior to any House wars and as such the players power levels will still contribute to his houses power levels.


Resolving Conflicts:

The leader of the winning guild can choose to kill the opposing guild leader, putting them out of the game. Alternatively they can allow them to live, this forces the defeated guild leader to be loyal to the victor for 2 days. The defeated's power rating will be added to the victor's personal power score, not his guild! This has obvious benefits for murder attempts.

There will be two sets of winners, the first is all the members of the house of the highest rank by the end of the game. The second but more important win goes to the player with the most power/gold at the end of the game.[/

Yes, I know there are different numbers in different houses but this proved an insignificant fact in the alst game, so I imagine the same will be in affect here!

Also the events you lucky players will be going on will start after all the power levels have been distributed, they will be voted for in blue!

Every player starts with 10 power levels and 50 gold. Each new day the leader of each house will be given more gold which is to be done with as they please! Keep it or distribute it!

[Fin]

Due to Forum outage, all the leaders will have an additional 24 hours to give me there power levels structure. Otherwise all the house power will be assigned to them! After 24 hours I will post the first adventure!

[Mordokai]

You really should stick FC in the Freshmeat house :smalltongue: :smallbiggrin:

[GoC]

Otherwise all the house power will be assigned to them!

Wait a second...
You can do that? Assign all 50 house-power to yourself?:smalleek:

[Selrahc]

Yeah, but look forward to everyone else in your house getting murdered leaving you dangerously isolated.

[Lex-Kat]

Ahhh! Princess Lex-kat awoke to find her five most loyal guild members standing around her bed. You scared me.

We are sorry to wake you, Princess. Murska said. But we need to know who you plan to make your new lieutenant.

The Princess, recently elevated to the leader of the Shadow Guild, due to the death of her mother, looked at the five.

Banjo, Murska. I ask the two of you to be my Lieutenants. Thank you.

Then she looks at the five. I hope that together, we will be strong and you'll help me destroy our enemies.

Now if you'll please leave. She smiles at them. I would prefer to get dressed before we have one of these meetings again.

[Dirk Kris]

Dirk Kris roused himself from his new large, luxurious bed. He smiled as he looked around and took in his surroundings. Turns out killing Lord Freshmeat had worked out better than he'd planned - his gang had fallen apart, and Dirk's had simply moved in and taken over.

Dressing in a white linen suit, Dirk pulls on a black trenchcoat over it. He's never had any issue with flaunting his heritage, as it's plain as could be. His black and white wings stretch slowly, then flutter back into place at his back.

Dirk heads down the curving staircase that takes him to the main room of the ground floor. His men lay about, some entwined with women from the tavern down the row, others alone. One is awake, the others snoozing, sleeping off the previous night's activities. Dirk smiles and makes his way over.

The man stands and extends his hand. He and Dirk perform the secret handshake. The new leader smiles and leans his head close to his friend. "Mechafox, I need a lieutenant. I choose you. You are crafty, strong, and so far, trustworthy. I need to be able to count on you."

Mechafox bows his head. "You can, sir. We've been together for many years now and we've always had each others backs. That won't change now. I am honored."


Dirk smiles again, his pointed canines glinting. "Power changes men, Mecha. We've both seen it. Do not betray me, and you will be rewarded - I swear it."

Mechafox nodded slowly, then moved off to wake the other guild members. Dirk smiled and made his way back upstairs. It might be good to be the king, but it's better to be me.

[Murska]

Yeah, but look forward to everyone else in your house getting murdered leaving you dangerously isolated.

That doesn't really matter. The problem is getting ganked by multiple enemies, but overall, gathering all power on yourself is a very good strategy. The only reason I don't approve of it is that it screws up the game for those who get next to no power.

[Fawkes]

Mechafox adjusts his eyeglasses and folds his hands behind him. He surveys his drunken, passed out comrades.

"...I'm going to need to make some preparations."

[banjo1985]

Lieutenant Banjo bows slightly.

"Thank you, your highness, for blessing me with rank and power. I will protect you and this House with all of my power, my life will be forfeit if necessary."

He turns and looks at the other four.

"Come, we have many preperations to discuss."

[Uncle Festy]

"Lieutenants, eh?
Well, I'll have to go with Darkcomet and Happyturtle.
… hm, I think I'm going to need to change the house name to House Kaos. :smallbiggrin:"

[Bayar]

Phantom Fox, Griever, you are the lieutenants. Try not to stab the wrong persons.

Yes, stabbing me is wrong.

Stabbing the other house members is wrong too.

The other lieutenant is part of the house too !

[Szilard]

Szilard is busy not paying too much attention to this game. :smalltongue: Just enough attention to have fun.

[ThePhantom]

"As you wish, mylady." ThePhantom takes his leave of Lex's room. "Now, if the rest of you need me, I'll find you."

[Fin]

A strangely familiar looking twon squire makes his way to the centre of the community and places a large piece of parchment on a notice board there, it reads;


Here ye, here ye!

A large red dragon has been seen enetering a cave at the base of Mount Convoy. It is belived to have stolen all of the late Lord Finoch's treasury from his widows home. The dragon must be executed. Those that succeed will be allowed there pick of the treasure there in!

We need five volenteers, please put your name at the bottom of the page!

Signed

F

[billtodamax]

Master Bayar, I pledge you my allegiance. Said Bill, kneeling. Should you ever need me, simply call.

[Szilard]

Szilard, who has nothing better to do, signs the bottom of the page.

[GoC]

GoC for adventure!

[Fin]

Players going on the quest must be voted for in blue. You can vote for yourself! Also due to one house not being given their power levles properly due to a mistake on my part, the adventure vote time will end first thing tomorrow morning (GMT)

[detrevnisisiht]

Detrevnisisiht

[Lamech]

How long do days last and when does the day end?

[Fin]

Adventure voting time lasts 48 hours (kinda like your standard lynch) and that will culminate in an end of day/house war, during this time all conflicts will be resolved. There is then a 24 hour period to allow the redistribution of power levels (kinda like your night phase). Rinse and repeat!

[Szilard]

Szilard! .

[Shadowcaller]

I am prodded by my new team member's to start the new house:


The Nobel house of Caster

It's members are going to be the clueless leader Shadowcaller.

The huntress Happyturtle (Lieutenant)

And our green enforcer Murska (Minion)

Don't be surprised if they both end up backstabbing me. :smallwink:

Waiting for acceptance from the members and the narrator.

[Murska]

I accept. :smallbiggrin:

Although, according to my understanding, I'll have to be a lowly minion. For now.

[Darkcomet]

...

*twitch*

[happyturtle]

I accept. Though I have no idea why anyone would think I would backstab you. I am as pure as the driven snow. http://i431.photobucket.com/albums/qq40/happyturtle-avs/smilies/happy0191.gif

[Selrahc]

Well that can't be good. :smalleek:

[Fin]

New House confirmed. Shadowcaller, you lose 50g!

House Caster
Shadowcaller - Leader
Happyturtle - Lieutenant
Murska

I'll update the OP

[Lex-Kat]

Princess Lex-kat looks at the notice on the board. I need more power if the house is to surive.

[Fawkes]

Do houses Alarra and Shadow have Lieutenants?

[Murska]

Indeed they do.

[Darkcomet]

I don't think so. At least House Kaos retained a lieutenant from that conspiracy that has been going on since before the game started.

[Murska]

Weren't Aemoh and Banjo chosen as Lieutenants aswell? :smallconfused:

[Darkcomet]

Weren't Aemoh and Banjo chosen as Lieutenants aswell? :smallconfused:

Well, I'm not sure based on the first post updating with some lieutenants and not others.

...

Wait.

Why am I bothering talking to you? *shuns Murska*

[Murska]

What did I ever do to you? None of us three harmed you in any way and besides, the Houses are just for show since the important victory is the personal one.

[Darkcomet]

Maybe I don't appreciate being the victim of a betrayal plot that was around *before the game even began*.

[EagleWiz]

Ahh, what the heck. Might as well go on an adventure. Eagle Wiz

[Selrahc]

I'm going to nominate Shadowcaller for the adventure. May he have much success. :mitd:

[Murska]

GoC wanted to adventure but forgot to state it in blue.

[happyturtle]

GoC seems the adventurous sort.

[Lex-Kat]

Just in case it was somehow missed, Banjo1985 is my Lieutenant, and Murska WAS my other one.

[Darkcomet]

Good luck on the adventure, Shadowcaller. :smallamused:

[Shadowcaller]

Good luck on the adventure, Shadowcaller. :smallamused:

I can't really understand your grudge against me DC but right now its highly likely your helping me.

EeagleWiz

[Fawkes]

Lieutenant Mechafox nods to Szilard. "Be careful."

[Uncle Festy]

…
:smallfurious:
What the hell.
What. The. Hell.
I give you massive amounts of power, entrust you with an important position in my house… and you just LEAVE?!?
What the hell is up with that?
I mean, if you were planning on leaving before the game, why did you accept the position of lieutenant, much less any of the other stuff I was telling you? And if this was concocted AFTER the game has started, then what was the point of wasting 50 gold this early – especially if, as Murska put it, "the Houses are just for show"?
…
*rereads post*
Ok look I realize I've been really rude here, but I'm tired and grumpy and irritable and who knows what else. I'd just like, you know, an explanation of where the heck this came from.

[Darkcomet]

*rereads post*

They've been conspiring since before the game began. The not telling you was likely to get themselves more power.

[Shadowcaller]

They've been conspiring since before the game began. The not telling you was likely to get themselves more power.

...what?:smallconfused:

[Darkcomet]

...what?:smallconfused:

Murska and Happy planned this betrayal before the game began. You didn't know?

[happyturtle]

The three of us talked about forming a house together before the game began. That means we weren't conspiring against ANYBODY because we didn't know what houses we'd be in.

Honestly, if I'd known people were going to take this sort of thing personally in a game entitled BACKSTABBERY, I wouldn't have signed up to play. :smallsigh::smallfrown:

[Shadowcaller]

Murska and Happy planned this betrayal before the game began. You didn't know?

If they did, I don't really understand why everyone is so upset about them betraying you in a game called Backstabbery.

What did you expect? Really?

[Darkcomet]

Pheh.

It just really hurts knowing that my team was doomed from before the game even started.

[Murska]

Pheh.

It just really hurts knowing that my team was doomed from before the game even started.

There ARE. NO. TEAMS!

This is a one-winner game, the team victory is just a small plus to that. At least we didn't try one of my previously thought up ways to purely break this game or anything and just did this small move which gave us personally a bit more power while hurting nobody else.

[Selrahc]

I'm not really taking this personally. I fully expected people to betray. I am a little disappointed that the betrayal wasn't by means of a nice clean murder, but on the other hand it gives me a wonderful opportunity for vengeance. And vengeance is fun.

Seriously, you guys aren't having a blast with this opening game? I love having a clear cut enemy, a set of powerful but not completely trustworthy friends and some backroom deals and future schemes going, all on day 1! That is more than I normally do in a whole game of werewolf.


And if this was concocted AFTER the game has started, then what was the point of wasting 50 gold this early – especially if, as Murska put it, "the Houses are just for show"?

Uh... maybe the advantage of spending the gold is that they get 50 power levels to distribute? That strikes me as quite a nice perk.

Oh yeah, and Aemoh is officially my Lieutenant.

[Aemoh]

Heh, good to see a game of backstabbing off to a fun start.

*wishes EagleWiz a good trip*

(He wanted to go, so, just helping him.)

[Murska]

Yeah, glad to see you guys like it. :smallsmile:

I'm mostly doing this to maybe survive night 1, since my chances of doing that are very slim. My house leader got a warning beforehand, although not a set date, and she took it pretty well. :smallsmile:

Oh, and Selrahc: We don't have to be enemies, you know. :smallwink:

[Shadowcaller]

Sorry about the whole betrayal thing Selrach, but I figured that if I would do it before I really got to connect with the house it would be better.

Anyway, I promise I smile when you stab me in the face/back with your alliance of upset players. :smallwink:

[Darkcomet]

Hurting nobody else, Murska?

Hurting nobody else?

That is a lie and you know it. Even if it doesn't harm individual players, it gives a rather nasty disadvantage in the event of a house war.

[Murska]

Then don't find yourself in a house war, or ditch your house in the case of one, or ally with other houses, or assassinate the enemy house members, or pick more Generals... :smallsigh:

[Darkcomet]

:smallsigh:

I knew I was doing something wrong when I signed up for this...

[Fleeing Coward]

It's backstabbery, they know what they're getting themselves into when they did this. They also shouldn't be suprised when they get brutally murdered first day by the houses they betrayed :smallamused:

[Shadowcaller]

It's backstabbery, they know what they're getting themselves into when they did this. They also shouldn't be suprised when they get brutally murdered first day by the houses they betrayed :smallamused:

What can I say? Live fast, die young and leave a big smocking crater. :smalltongue:

[Murska]

Yeah, that's my philosophy. Playing any game like it's supposed to is boring. Better to bring some action into it! :smallbiggrin:

[Darkcomet]

So many things I want to say that would only make the situation worse... :smallsigh:

[Uncle Festy]

or pick more Generals... :smallsigh:

*twitches*
HAPPYTURTLE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE FRIGGIN' HOUSE GENERAL!
*takes a deep breath*
… wait, really? New houses get 50 extra power?
I thought that was just at the beginning of the game? :smallconfused:

[Selrahc]

Start a new house 50g – In order to start a new house you must have at least one player for every rank willing to join it from its birth. The house will give +50 power to the guild leader but he must delegate this between his House members


… wait, really? New houses get 50 extra power?

Yep. 50 extra power.

[Darkcomet]

Well, at least the traitors have less gold than the rest of us.

...I hope.

[Shadowcaller]

Well, at least the traitors have less gold than the rest of us.

...I hope.

Well, in a few days there are going to be very few non-traitors left. :smalltongue:

[billtodamax]

I'm not entirely sure if any of them were on my team, and I don't really care. Besides, the amount of people trying to kill you is more a way of keeping score.

As for the "Seperate early before you form a bond" the does really screw over your team quite alot, especially if they already gave you power.

Finally, have fun on the adventure GoC.

[Fawkes]

Shadowcaller would have had to spend all of his on making the new house, but Murska and Happy should each have 50.

[EagleWiz]

And this matters why? House Stabbingusintheback is probably going to be completley destroyed within a few days anyway.

[happyturtle]

House Wejuststartedearly fully expects to crash and burn soon. :smalltongue:

[Fin]

Day over! No more actions please! Update coming.

Those that are awaiting PM replies don't worry that will happen before the update! But there are alot so bear with me!

[Fin]

Ok Guys rules change: When a new house is created, the players that gain levels as a result will not be allowed to gain levels this way again. This is to prevent a couple of players all starteding a house each getting 50 lvls at a time!

Also Shadowcaller, GoC, Szilard and Eaglwiz will go on the mission! Lex-Kat and detrevnisisiht miss out because they were tied for votes!

Ahem... End Of Day One!

The four brave crusaders reached the dragons cave early that evening, just as the sun was setting on the horizon. They were nervous but they wouldn't show it. Not in front of warriors from rival houses! No, a much worse punishment awaited them at home is they showed any signs of weakness!

Creeping deeper and deeper into the cave they eventually reach the main chamber and see the huge lizard sleeping on his treasure.

What is this, The Hobbit? Whispered GoC as he sees the almost cliche image before him.

Although meant as a harmless bit of sarcasm it goes straight to Shadowcallers funny bone who emits a loud piercing laugh. Just like after an eight year old girl has kissed a boy and run off! This particularly odd laugh then sets the rest of the group off and before you know it all the of the group atre rolling around on the floor laughing!

This wakes the dragon... Obviously!

What are you laughing at! He screamed! For this was a particularly proud dragon, yet his self-esteem is pretty low. Even inthe face of certain death these four worthless peons of the local community where in his cave laughing at him!

And they wouldn't (couldn't) stop!

Please stop, it isn't nice to laugh at people like this! He was becoming more and more panicked by the whole thing, what would the other dragons think when they hear about this! You lot are all really mean!

And with that he flew away, to attempt to spread tales about how they weren't laughing at him, but with him!

When they eventually recovered they were confronted not with a scary dragon, but with abig pile of gold!

Each member of the adventure gained 10 gold, well done... Ya big meanies!

Meanwhile... Back in town!

Start a new house will he? We'll see about that!

Yeah, lets go stick him good!

Teach him a lesson!

With that conspiritorial but not altogether intellectual chat, the three assasins make their way to the living quarters of the newly formed house Caster. Throwing grappling hooks up to the room they need they quickly scaled the walls and were inside in moments. Murska was there. He didn't stand a chance!

Murska was murdered by Lex-Kat, Fleeing Coward and Lamech

A piercing screamed broke the nights silence! But that was in another part of town, there was tsill business to do here. She done so well getting past the guards and the security, now, on the other side of that door was her target! She would get her glory!

Kicking down the door, she burst in and saw Bayar's back. Her unwitting victim sat at her desk writing and so couldn't even defend herself!

Too bad!

To swift leaps and Happyturtle had crossed the room and plunged a dagger deep into her victims neck... Too bad it was only a dummy! As for the writing, it read;


Better luck nest time

Happyturtle failed to urder Bayar

Rewards for the Murska killing will be sent out shortly. I will the send out the new days gold for the leaders shortly after that!

[Shadowcaller]

I knew that they both would/be backstab/ed during the first night, its just their style. :smallbiggrin:

Now lets see how big this crater will get...

[happyturtle]

Woohoo! I survived one whole night longer than I expected to! :smallbiggrin:

[Dirk Kris]

Dirk Kris rubs his hands together, then claps loudly as Szilard re-enters the guild house. "Well done, my man. Well done. You have brought glory and honor not only to yourself, but to your house!" He raises a goblet of red wine high over his head. The lights spring up, and Szilard can see his other guildmates sitting around a table covered in food and drink. "To Szilard - may he feast and revel in his new title - Dragon Master!"

[banjo1985]

"Let this be a lesson to you all, those that betray House Shadow shall be harshly dealt with."

((I like this game already :smallbiggrin:))

[Szilard]

Awesomesauce.:smallbiggrin: Szilard inconspicuously checks the food for poison while eating. The drinks too.

[Murska]

Aw, I wanted to survive one night. :smallfrown:

[ThePhantom]

In ThePhantom's room in House Shadow, a picture of Murska falls to the floor."One traitor down, but two to go. And after them, the other houses will be next."

[Fin]

Ok guys still waiting on two leaders to give me their gold distributions. That is all!

[Murska]

Why are people calling ME a traitor? I helped my original house the best I could, warned them beforehand, gave them the most effective strategy to win I could think of, gave them an easy target to regain the meager amount of power my leaving took and then tried to survive one day so I could help them even more.

Then we killed your traitorous self and threw your body in the moat!

Food Chain wins. :smallbiggrin:

[Murska]

Yeah, I really shouldn't join this game. It's 100% impossible for me to survive a single day. :smallsigh:

[Fin]

I would normally have sympathy for someone in Murska's position but seeing as as he has chosen to eat my inbox... I hope you rot, traitor!

[Shadowcaller]

In ThePhantom's room in House Shadow, a picture of Murska falls to the floor."One traitor down, but two to go. And after them, the other houses will be next."

You think WE are the only traitors?
Watch your back Mr. Phantom, at least our treachery is easy to see.
When we are dead our former houses that are still weakened by our treachery fall easy prey to the larger houses.

The other traitors will never be seen...

[Lamech]

The other traitors will never be seen...
Correct much backstabbing shall simply be done behind the scenes by spreading false info or telling the secrets of people; that could easily spell someone's doom.

[Murska]

Not to mention that I didn't even have time to actually betray anyone.

[Lex-Kat]

Princess Lex-kat sends a note to House Member Lamech.

I am requesting your acceptance as my new 2nd Lieutenant. Please respond as soon as you are available.


Thank you, Princess Lex-kat.

[Murska]

You can do that?

[Lamech]

I try to accept anyway.

[Fawkes]

Not to mention that I didn't even have time to actually betray anyone.

You sure whine a lot for a dead guy.

[Fin]

Yes you can do that, also one more leader to give me gold distirbutions. After today there will be a yet to be determined time limit seeing as it is taking so long!

[Murska]

You sure whine a lot for a dead guy.

That's what dead people do. I'm already putting my secret plan to hopefully make people feel like letting me live in some other game some day cuz I feel so bad at being the only one killed in this one in action.

[Uncle Festy]

Nosir, didn't forget, not me…
<.<
*stabs limited intertube connection*

[hap_hazard]

Lex-kat wanted to go?

Fraggit, ignore that, I lost track of page number.

[Fin]

Ok guys Day Two has begun! any actions submitted before the gold distributions reached me will be concluded at the end of the day! All gold purchases have been noted and confirmed. Also I am assuming guild leaders will be informing their minions of what gold they are due! So if you don't know what gold you have beenm awarded ask your leader. I would normally do this but my intermet connection is so bad at the moment I can barely update!

Adventure!

Pirates have been seen on the horizon WE NEED YOU! Five volenteers will be assigned a super exclusive mission to go out to sea, engage the pirates and ask them to leave in a nice orderly manner! Survivors may get gold. Vote in blue for your favourite potential ambassador to the pirates!

NB - I apologise for the awful update but somethimes these things can't be avoided!

[happyturtle]

Selrahc would make an excellent ambassador.

[Lex-Kat]

Vote Uncle Festy for ambassador. He is one smooth talker. :smallsmile:

[Darkcomet]

Please refrain from sending my guild leader on a 1/3 chance of a deathtrap, Lex-kat.

[Allysian]

I agree with your sentiments Darkcomet. Lex-Kat

[Uncle Festy]

My werewolf instincts are kicking in.
BANDWAGON!
Lex.

[EagleWiz]

How much money did i get today? And
Edit: No not lamech. Forget that one. Uncle Festy for keepng all the gold (Jerk!)
And I am defecting to house Alara pending acceptence.

[Lamech]

Right back at you eaglewiz.

[Fleeing Coward]

Uncle Festy I've waited long enough for gold that doesn't appear to be arriving.
I'm defecting to House Shadow assuming Princess Lex-Kat accepts.

[Lex-Kat]

Accepted. Welcome to the family.

[ThePhantom]

"Welcome, Monsieur Coward. I hope you don't plan on anything against your new house, or a disaster to you will occur." ThePhantom appears from the shadows behind Fleeing Coward.

[GoC]

Dirk Kris.

[billtodamax]

Have fun on your 1 in 3 chance of death adventure, Lex-kat

[Fawkes]

Can we get an update to the OP, mister narrator?

[Uncle Festy]

How much money did i get today? And
Edit: No not lamech. Forget that one. Uncle Festy for keepng all the gold (Jerk!)
And I am defecting to house Alara pending acceptence.

*eyeroll*
No. I kept the gold from YOU because you were threatening to run off with my whole guild.
Have fun switching guilds, traitor. :smallamused:

[banjo1985]

Banjo

Sod it. I like to live dangerously. :smalltongue:

[happyturtle]

Banjo then.

can't sleep... clown will eat me... :smalleek:

[Lamech]

I'm pointing at No Lynch... as eaglewiz is no longer pointing at me.

[happyturtle]

http://i431.photobucket.com/albums/qq40/happyturtle-avs/0caf59.png Yarr! I be hearin' that tha scurvy pirates have good rum!

Happyturtle

[Fawkes]

I think Detrevnisisiht wanted to go yesterday.

[Allysian]

Uncle Festy, i'm pretty sure only me and darkcomet haven't left you, so get us our money. And appoint me luitenant while your at it. I'm to lazy to betray you. :smalltongue:

[PhantomFox]

Kinda lost, but Lex-kat I guess.

[Uncle Festy]

*sighs*
I sent the gold like five minutes after I posted.
I, just, um…
I forgot to send you guys the totals.
The only person who I actually didn't give gold was Eaglewiz, and that's because I learned that he was planning to defect.
Anyways, um…
Come back? :smallfrown:
I'll send the gold totals as soon as I clear out my inbox.

[Fin]

Day Over! update coming soon!

[Allysian]

...soon is when? :smalltongue:

[Uncle Festy]

Phooey.
This is the first time I've gotten on the forums since my last post here.
I'll fire off the gold-giving PMs in a sec.
Also, FC, come back please? :smallfrown:

[EagleWiz]

*26 hours later*

[Fin]

Sorry I havent updated but I have been called away kind of urgently. I do not have my spread with me and so can't update. The update will be here tomorrow though, so thanks in advance for being patient!

[Fin]

((Disclaimer: Just so you all know, this will be an awful narration. I don't know about you guys but connection is appaling for me at the moment, so I will just put the summaries up for now and hopefully flesh it out later. Also so you all know if a player goes on an adventure only other adventurers can attempt to kill that person))

Lex-Kat, Uncle Festy, Detrevnisisiht, Happyturtle, Banjo and Dirk Kris all negotiated with the Pirates. They agreed to let them kill detrevnisisiht in exchange for them going away!

detrevnisisiht has been killed by Pirates

Eaglewiz killed Allysian

Shadowcaller and DarkComet killed Fleeing Coward

Again... Apologies for the rubbish narration. The day will start once I have confirmation from the Leaders that they have PM'd their minions there goldses!

[Allysian]

What!? No! ME and Darkcomet killed Fleeing Coward! What!? NO!!!!!

[Darkcomet]

What!? No! ME and Darkcomet killed Fleeing Coward! What!? NO!!!!!

What he said.

[EagleWiz]

Shelrac is away. I think.

[Fleeing Coward]

Should have expected that, but why did 6 players go on the adventure?
I expected precedent to have been followed and those tied for votes to have been left out because they were tied on 1 vote like the day before.

[Lamech]

Yes why was that? What changed?

[banjo1985]

I'm special, that's what changed. :smallbiggrin:

[Fin]

@Allysian: Don't worry you should be dead, worry not.

@Selharc House: If he hasn't gotten to me by the time everyone else has I will evenly distribute the gold between you all

@Fleeing Coward: Because I felt this way was fairer, it will also be the way we do it from now on. Sorry I didn't tell you but as you can see, it was a rubbish/badly connected update!

[Fleeing Coward]

Guess I'll just have to accept that and keep my full comments until the end of the game but the way I see it, this unannounced change made a huge difference to how the day would have turned out both for individuals and a couple of houses.

[Fawkes]

*monocle pops off*

[Griever]

*poses with the now-monocle-less Mechafox 'cuz it JUST GOT REAL* :smallcool:

[Fin]

Ok New day has begun. Not all Leaders got gold distributions to me in time, they can still gove you gold though just not in that little murder free window!

The town squire quickly stashes his eye-patch in his jacket pocket and makes his way to the notice board.


Friendly Dodgeball Competition, winner gets a nifty prize!

If you're going to put your foot in it, go up to the groin. :smallbiggrin:

[Uncle Festy]

Ok, Banjo. If'n you say so. :smallbiggrin:

[billtodamax]

Eh, why not. billtodamax

[happyturtle]

Because lemons are good at dodgeball.

[Lex-Kat]

Princess Lex

[Darkcomet]

Lex, if you're trying to off Festy, you could try to be sneakier about it.

Of course, if you're trying to help, then you'll share in it. It's only fair. :smallamused:

[Aemoh]

happyturtle, cause I'd really like to see a lemon play dodgeball.

[EagleWiz]

Switching to House Lex-Kat, pointing at Darkcomet

[Lamech]

Lamech, has mad tag playing skillz.

[hap_hazard]

Ok. Billtodamax.

[Shadowcaller]

Selrach...

[Fin]

Day Over Update will be up soon!

[GoC]

Day Over Update will be up soon!

*whistles a little tune*

[Fin]

Sorry guys, connection issues again! :smallfurious:

Ahem, t'was a dark and stormy night...

Dodge, duck, dip, dive and... Dodge! Those are the five words you guys will need to remember if your gonna survive this thing! Now play ball!

What!!? Is that it, thats all the training we get and we start playin- eeee!

Before Selharc can finish his sentance he is sent flying into the stand by a metal dodgeball that was launched at him from what can only be describes as Happyturtle's portable hand cannon! He is sent sprawling to the stands where the other member sof his house sneak him away to safety!

Happyturtle failed to Murder Selharc

But that was it, first blood had been drawn!

Chaos erupted on the battlesports field!

Banjo, billtodamax, happyturtle, Lex-Kat, DarkComet, Lamech and Selharc were selcted to play dodgeball!

Balls flew in high and low! Black eyes and bloody noses where given and recieve by all the combatentsPlayers! It was in the stands however that the important action was happening. Sitting behind Eaglewiz in the stands was GoC, dagger in hand. Waiting, his moment arrived when Banjo was took three dodgeballs at once. One in the face, one in the stomach and one where no man deserves it. The crowd erupted and everyone jumped in the air to cheer and GoC stabbed eaglwiz in the back...

GoC attempted to murder Eaglwiz and failed

Sadly for all those concerned Eaglwiz had suspected treachery and had rigged a fake eaglwiz with a multidtude of explosives, the blast was huge but not very concussive and few people were injured. The shock of it all however cause Uncle Festy to fall off the stand to his death!

Eaglwiz murdered Uncle Festy

Meanwhile back in the game just three players remained. From the first team Lamech and Lex-Kat and the last on the other team was DarkComet. They cornered him and then dodgeballed him to death!

Lamech and Lex-Kat Murdered DarkComet

All members of the dodgball that survived gained a power level due to the epic win you needed to be in order to survive such a game.

The next day will be gin when all house leaders have informed their minions AND myself of the gold distributions.

Uncle Festy's House members will receive and equal share of the gold and once the next day starts they must vote in red for their new leader!

Day Over, apologies again for the huge delay!

[Darkcomet]

Figures that was coming. This game hated us, didn't it, Festy?

[Fawkes]

I don't think there's anyone left in Uncle Festy's house. Can we get an update to the first post please?

[Fin]

Sure, uno momento! In fact your are right there is only Eaglewiz left so he is now unhoused and awaiting adoption into another house. There will be no vote for a new leader!

EDIT: Here is the new list:

Shadow
Lex-Kat - Leader

[Lamech]

[Fin]

I thought eaglewiz joined house Alarra. Or was he never accepted?

He was not

[Lex-Kat]

Princess Lex-kat sends a note to House Member Lamech.

I am requesting your acceptance as my new 2nd Lieutenant. Please respond as soon as you are available.


Thank you, Princess Lex-kat.

I try to accept anyway.
Lamech should be a Lieutenant, right?

And The Phantom isn't dead, as far as I know. :smallconfused: So shouldn't he still be in House Shadow?

[banjo1985]

Hmmm, methinks this is getting interesting. Good to see happy trying to keep the spree going! :smalltongue:

[ThePhantom]

I'm not dead yet, so put me back under house shadow.:smallannoyed:

[Fin]

Sorry Phantom, I didn't even realise you weren't on there. You are alive. Worry not!

[Uncle Festy]

Figures that was coming. This game hated us, didn't it, Festy?

Yep, what can you do.
This game was giving me a headache anyways.

[Fin]

Just awaiting one more leader's response. Due to connection crappiness I will allow him 24 more hours

[Fin]

New Day Has Begun!

And as usual the little town speaker trots out of his little house and wanders over to the little notice board where he affixes a little notice!



Free Bungie Jumping Lessons!

All interested sign below:

With that he trots back into his little house, where he has a little meal with his little wife and and his little dog!

[banjo1985]

A chance to sign up for some unnecessary danger? Sounds like a job for Banjo!

[Dirk Kris]

Dirk Kris emerges from his guild house to sunbathe on his balcony. He lazily points at happyturtle. "Send her. She seems to want to be involved in everything else."

[Lex-Kat]

I'm afraid of heights, So I'll send Lieutenant Banjo instead. Good Luck. :smallwink:

[happyturtle]

Shall we make it a date, Dirk? :smallwink:

[Fawkes]

Why don't I join you?

Mechafox.

[Fin]

Sadly, Bayar has had to pull out. So today House Fairchilde need to vote in red for a new leader. The day will end in about 24 hours.

Szilard has always wanted to bungee jump.

Extra long Day Over!

Update pending.

[Lex-Kat]

Ok guys I'm just letting everyone know that I will be putting BackStabbery on hold for a few days. I apologise to all those playing. This is due to my girlfriend going into hospital, you may know her as Ranna she has played a number of WW games. She went into the hospital to have a very routine procedure but there was an incident during her surgeory and now she will be in for a little while longer. I will obviously be with her as much as physically possible and due to this, work and connection trouble I couldn't possibly hope to continue to narrate a game as complicated as backstabbery, I hope you understand. I do hope to continue to play the game I am in as they only require my attention for a short time and I don't want to let any more people down than I have to.

Thanks again

Also I will let Ranna know she has all your best wishes, I think I know everyone here well enough to presume they are going out to her.

F
From the Werewolf Central Thread.

[Dirk Kris]

Ranna, feel better! Best wishes to you and Fin.

[Fin]

Ok I'm back update should be up by the end of today!

(sadly I still am fairly busy so updates won't be up in minutes)

[Lex-Kat]

Ok I'm back update should be up by the end of today!

(sadly I still am fairly busy so updates won't be up in minutes)

Did I miss some news?

[Fawkes]

This game is still running?

[Dirk Kris]

Summary
Ranna was sick. She was the Narrator's Girlfriend. Game has been delayed until Narrator gets his bearings back.
