The sun sets behind the horizon of the vast vineyards of Vicenze Manor. Its last rays of light are reflected and fractured by the windows of the luxurious mansion while a caravan of black limousines rolls up the long twisted road towards the house. As it has been done for decades, the current Godfather of the Sicilian Mafia has claimed the honors to host the annual meeting of the Capo Crimine, the heads of the most important families. Salvatore Vicenze, the overboss of them all, has spend his lifetime uniting the families and putting an end to rivalries and turf wars. The last years have passed without conflicts, which has brought La Familia back to their full strength.
As every year, Vicenze offers his guests a sumptous dinner before debating matters of business. As every year, he has chossen his most loval guardsmen to watch over the Manor and its inhabitants. But this year, something is different. One of the younger guards has been browbeaten by the Yakuza. They abducted his family and gave him a fatal order. He leaves his post and snucks into the Manor.
Inside, Vicenze has just appeared at the table and - warmly greeted by his guests - toasted on the recent success of the mafia. But as he stands there with a raised glass, he wonders when he notices how his guests, facing him, suddenly draw their weapons - before being gunned down from behind by his own guard. After dispatching the traitor, the Capos rush to Vincenze but they can't help him anymore. The head of the Sicilian Mafia has just been assassined without naming a successor to his position. Slowly the Capos realise this - This and the fact that they are here on their own without their muscle. They back away from each other and draw their weapons once again...
How does this game work:
1) Each round, each player sends me a message with his action.
2) There are three possible actions. Shoot yourself, shoot in the air or shoot someone else.
3) Shoot in the Air: This has no effect on you, anybody else or anybodys action.
4) Shoot yourself: If you shoot yourself and noone else tried to shoot you, you die.
4a) If you shoot yourself AND at least one other player tried to shoot you too, you remain alive and all assailants die instead.
5) Shoot someone: You have to specify a certain player that you want to shoot. You shoot that player and they die
5a) Exception: If your victim has tried to shoot itself, you die instead (See 4b)
6) After each round, the survivors are put together in a new standoff and the next round ensues. This continues until there is only one player left.
6a) If all players die simultaneously in one round, that round is repeated.
7) One round will last for about 48 hours, with each update there will be a deadline for your submission.
7a) Players who don't submit an action within the deadline are treated as if they shot the air.
7b) Players who don't submit an action twice in a row are removed from the match.
8) You can't join during a match but once a winner has been determined, there will be a new match with new signups
9) Don't take games too seriously and have fun.
