Avast! It be a pirate elimination game!

Postby OrangeEyebrows » Tue Jun 18, 2013 2:50 am

Arrrr, me hearties. The notorious pirates Phighthook and Orange Beard, locked in a decades-long vendetta, be recruiting for their crews. Splice the mainbrace, shiver me timbers and read this article for a thorough grounding on man love and mixed threesomes. This be a battle over possession of Tortuga.

There will be three factions in the game – Team Phighthook, Team Orange Beard and Team Tortuga. The Tortugans are normal villagers, but by night some of them secretly engage in piracy with the two feuding captains. Those of you who are secretly pirates will be PMed your roles, as will the Tortugan players with special powers.

The special roles are as follows:

Converter: There will be one of these on each of the pirate teams. The person with this role can convert one player to their team ONCE ONLY during the course of the game.

Scanner: This is a Tortugan role. You can scan your fellow players and find out what their allegiance is.

Lovers: Sod convention! This is a pirate town! The two of you are in love. If your lover dies, so do you.

Rivals: He stole your dubloons and you widdled in his rum. The point is that you hate each other. Regardless of whether your team wins, YOUR win condition is that your rival be dead at the end of the game.

The Commodore: This is a Tortugan role. The Commodore cannot be killed by the pirates at night, though he can be lynched during the day. He is absolutely, 100% not a pirate. His name will be revealed before the start of play.

Messengers: There will be a messenger on each of the three teams.

The Tortugans will not know who the pirates are. The pirates will only know who is on their own team, not on the other. Phighthook and Orange Beard are immune from lynching because we’re the GMs, dummy. We won't be helping the teams, just picking them.

Pirates will kill during the night, by consensus, each team killing on alternate nights. Tortugans will vote to keel-haul during the day.

Now fall into line, ye poxy dogs. Every man who signs the ship's articles will have a tot of rum from me own coffers.

Orange Beard

-----

Avast ye scurvy bilgerats! It be I, Pirate Lord Phighthook. Lads and lassies, I've got me sights sets on Tortuga. However, from what I be hearin' from the winds, Pirate Lord Orange Beard is also aft me new slice of paradise. And the Commodore and the villagers, they're not too keen on us battlin' over their land. Orange Beard 'n' I decided to flesh out the Pirate Code. Here's some articles.

1. As a member of me crew, the object is to rid Tortuga of Pirate Lord Orange Beard. As a member of Orange Beard's crew, the object is to rid Tortuga of I. If ye be just a Tortugan, well, I be hearin' the Tortugans just want one of the Pirate Teams off of Tortuga.
2. Pirate Lords be killed last, in a finale of sorts. The Commodore, we be keepin' him 'round just to be fair.
3. Once night orders are called for, there be a 24 hour limit, or we be pickin' for ye, ya dogs. For those of ye who don't know what that means, it means a day and a sunset.
4. One pirate team be killin' per night. You don't have ta worry about both of us killin' and goin' 'round. That bein' said, we arrrr not advising arrr teams, merely pickin' them.
5. Dead men do tell tales. They be speakin' in purple. If they try to sway the votin', well, that be mutiny.
6. If ye be speakin' out of character, we be havin' a thread for that, ye be speaking in blue. If ye be votin', ye be speakin' in red.
7. What is said on the game thread and in the chats be fair game. What be said outside of that, be not.
8. Lastly, (and let me slip out of pirate for this), this game is set in Tortuga. Pirate-y Tortuga at that. There aren't cellphones, modern technology, etc. Also, if you'd like to talk like a pirate, you can, but you don't have to, either. You may want to come off as pirate, but at the same time you may want to come off as a Tortugan. It's your choice how you play, but also, please don't write a book everytime you post. We love RPers, but if you'd like to write the next great novel, Lao Wai and Gash will be more than happy to have you play their games instead.

Arrr! You havin' read all that, I think you'd make a fantastic addition to our game. We are trying to have as many participants as possible, so even if you aren't used to playing, play! Just a quick sheet:

1. Forum Name
2. Game Name (preferably something that refers to your forum name to avoid confusion)
3. Game Gender (this just helps our write-ups)

Thank ye! We look forward to havin' ye in Tortuga. Yo ho ho, and a bottle of rum to ya!

Phighthook

I can't imagine it'll be very dark, because pirates are hilarious. What I personally would like to see is people taking tactics pretty seriously, though. In the last game I felt as if sometimes people were so into their characters that they did things that were not in the best interests of their team. Let's see some really vicious plotting, strategising and accusation flinging. I'd like each of you to have a blood feud with at least one of your forum mates by the end of the game.
