[Game] Coup D'état (Mod Approved)

[Plantae]

Please familiarize yourself with the rules (http://www.freewebs.com/plantae0/coupdetat.htm) and ask any questions as soon as possible.

General Rules
1. Do not excessively spam in the game topic, some off topic discussion is prohibited but no flaming or offensive material please. Any player that does so will receive dooms from me appropriate to the damage caused.
2. Dead people should keep their comments in this thread at a minimum.
3. Players are encouraged to make accusations in the thread and tell their suspicions. There is much strategy involved in this game, if you do it correctly.
4. No player should post the contents of a private message in game.This means any and all private messages, not just ones from the host. In general, it is best to not even mention the private messaging process or even hint at their contents or their use in the game. No such evidence should be considered valid in day vote, as it is easily fabricated.
5. All votes should be posted in bold, so refrain from posting any other text as such.
6. Do not edit your posts, the only exception being the host.
7. Any rules issues should be directed to me by private message, including the reporting of the violation of these general rules by other players.
8. No moderator should use their ability to see who is sending and receiving private messages to gain unfair advantage, or any of their other abilities, for that matter.
9. You may not vote neutral twice in a row. Also, the result of doing so or not voting on any cycle except the first is a doom vote. Three doom votes result in automatic elimination.

The penalty for disobeying the above rules is situational, and may range from dooms, to in-game death, and even to game suspension or banning if the situation is severe enough. I ask that you observe them carefully and inform me of any questions before it becomes an issue.

[Zcade0]

Well doesn't this seem incredibly involved?

Neutral

[Hyperness is a Good Thing]

Okies, I just reread the rules and *hopefully* I understand what's going on u.u

neutral for the day

[Roy Karrde]

Neutral

[EngiMatikul]

your general rules do not explain the penalty for not voting. I'm pretty sure its the same, but in the event that it is different, you should put in your rules what the penalty of not voting is.

Neutral

[mr_pikachu]

Was thinking the same thing about the non-voting.

Neutral. Hooray for bandwagoning!

[Prof. Jb Wolf]

THE GREAT KAMINA-SAMA IS

NEUTRAL

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Nuetral

[Emotional Faun Chiko-sai]

Neutral

[Weasel Overlord]

Neutral cap'n!

[Plantae]

Thank you mr_pikachu and EngiMatikul for pointing that out. I have hosted so many games that most of the rules just go unspoken at this point. Please observe rule nine in the general rules section.

Addendum
There seem to be several common questions going around. Observe the answers below.

1. Are royalists and royals the same? No, Royals are people of noble position. Royalists are those that desire the current king, i.e. are not rebels. Due to the lack of clarity, the term "royalists" will be replaced by "loyalists."

2. Can you form alliances in this game? Alliances with non-allies are impossible except under the Guild Business influence (though they last even after this influence stops). These alliances can trump your original alliance, but then your new goal becomes eliminating all other players.

[Magmar]

new game, new title, new rules, new roles!
no idea what mine means, but it seems to be unique ^_^ better read the rules!
only question is...
will there be Wizarding Chess?
oh and neutral, unless the said wizarding chess game does pursue, in which case i will erupt in chorus with "Weasley is Our King" :)

Oh and this was edited due to broken links. It's purely for entertainment value, not really to do with the game... but carry on then =)

[Houndoom_Lover]

Ummm, we're still voting? *looks curious* Sorry, yesterday I was writting a Fanfiction and giving my full attention to my cuddlebug ^-^

[Houndoom_Lover]

Oh-wait! *tried to stop my post* Butter Miscuits! Neutreal

[Plantae]

Clearly no deaths have occurred today. Proceed to Night One.

Also, a reminder, in case anyone was confused: if you are not a rebel (or more accurately, not of the one-fourth of players that knows their allies), you may use your abilities at any time during the cycle. You don't have to wait for night.

[Plantae]

That concludes Night One. Let Day Two begin, noting the changes it brings.

[Magmar]

Let's see.

I have what's called a "life" which means I don't have all day to wait for people to vote. Last time, I couldn't wait and I voted first for somebody random, and everyone immediately retaliated and voted for me.

Which means they're just waiting to do that again. That's not casting suspicion, that's just saving your own ass for an extra round.

I vote EngiMatikul because if I go for a vet, I'm automatically trying to kill someone experienced to cover that I'm a shifter or whatever I supposedly am for voting first this time.

[Plantae]

I am afraid that Day Two has ended. Furthermore, as the rules clearly state, the majority of the votes determine the elimination. Everyone except Magmar and our victim will be receiving a doom vote.

Dead
EngiMatikul - Knight

Let us hope that we have something of a more eventful Night Two.

[EngiMatikul]

I don't take offense that you voted me, but I DO take offence that you consider me ANY less experienced than a "vet" if you even take into any consideration how I did last game of AM.

[Houndoom_Lover]

What the heck!? *doesn't remember* I checked the game yesterday and it still was in night, so I checked today and a whole cycle when by? What the heck *looks confused* Aw well *wipes the sweat off my for head* Everyone had hang overs? ^_^

[mr_pikachu]

Oh, dang it. I've been fighting a headache most of the day, so I ended up sleeping through the evening... argh!

[Dark-San]

Argh, I missed both days in a row. Damn the rigid university timetable! *Kicks timetable*

Hopefully, I make it on time for the third day.

[Plantae]

Before anyone makes any false assumptions, EngiMatikul was not a rebel. I made a little mistake there.

[Magmar]

I didn't say I consider you less experienced. But if I, say, voted for Dark-San, it would be "omg vet targeting" if you know what I mean.

So wait... was the knight a rebel or what??

[Plantae]

If it was unclear previously, no, EngiMatikul is most certainly not a rebel.

[Dark-San]

Then I would throw in a vote against Magmar then if that is the case. I have not read the details of the games yet but I am certainly not one of the bad guys.

[EngiMatikul]

I didn't say I consider you less experienced. But if I, say, voted for Dark-San, it would be "omg vet targeting" if you know what I mean.

So wait... was the knight a rebel or what??

I don't see how targetting a vet and targetting a new member is any less different. If anything, you should target the vets so that the newer members could have more participation in the game and get a feel for what its like. Wouldn't you say it would suck if you just joined the game, and BAM they voted you out the first turn?

[Plantae]

Enough rigamarole. Instead, let's the end of this loathsome Night.

Dead
Emotional Faun Chiko-sai - Scribe, Rebel (for certain this time)

I do believe the sun has risen again, so that's Day Three for you. Do note that we have our first case of simultaneous action, as both the inquisition and secret (rebel) affairs will occur during Day Three.

[mr_pikachu]

*looks through list*

Okay, I think I'll vote for the person who hasn't even posted in this thread yet... Vulpix.ck.

[Emotional Faun Chiko-sai]

*sulks* Being dead is QUITE the inconvenience.

[Plantae]

Simultaneous Action has now ended. Secret (Rebel) Affairs will occur during Night instead. Any ability use that has already occurred will be completed.

[Crazy Elf Boy]

OK Vulpix.ck for me to, becuase really no one else seems very evil at the moment.

[Magmar]

I'll also support a Vulpix.ck vote, at least for now.

Oh and Engi-whatever, it had to be somebody and you had all day to retaliate, right?

I'm drunk too, so... maybe it's not quite making sense right now.

[Hyperness is a Good Thing]

I'm a little confused. u.u
If simultaneous action has ended, does that still mean that

A vote during this time results in the death of the two highest vote getters, and the whole period of time lasts 48 hours. ?

Anyway..erm... I refuse to bandwagon (for once!)..however, almost everyone was inactive on day 2 so there isn't much to go on u.u
Er.. randomly Dark-san for now

[Roy Karrde]

I will go with Vulpix.ck too.

[Prof. Jb Wolf]

THE GREAT KAMINA-SAMA VOTES FOR

Dark-san

[Weasel Overlord]

Dark-San

[Vulpix.ck87]

I'm alive, dangit, just laazzee ;_; Don't kill me.

Dark-san, i guess.

[EngiMatikul]

Oh and Engi-whatever, it had to be somebody and you had all day to retaliate, right?

I'm drunk too, so... maybe it's not quite making sense right now.

Actually I had 3 hours to retaliate but I won't put you on the blame since I was playing Ragnarok Online all day. :V

[Houndoom_Lover]

Vulpix.ck Because you wouldn't die last time! Woohoo! I didn't miss this one! I freaked when the site would load.

[Houndoom_Lover]

wouldn't*

[Houndoom_Lover]

You know, forgive the double post, but I don't know what came over me. It's not like me to hold such a graude. So, to show my forgivance, I'll change my vote to Roy Karrde

[Dark-San]

Vulpix.ck, evening up the odds. I don't want to die this early yet.

[Plantae]

The victim of Day Three:

Dead
Vulpix.ck - Vassal

So begins Night Three.

[Vulpix.ck87]

GAH! The rage!

In the words of Mr Bellamy: You'll burn in hell for your sins ~_~ [add falsetto]

[Plantae]

So ends Night Three. Proceed with Day Four. Please observe that it is simultaneous action under The Dragon influence.

[Houndoom_Lover]

OOoh, ye old dragon! No one died? *puts my shovel away* Take my gold, o mighty one! *goes to see who is alive*

[Houndoom_Lover]

DArk-San, you turn to be voted, laddy!

[mr_pikachu]

I'll remain Neutral for now and see how everything plays out.

(No penalty for voting neutral as long as you don't do it twice in a row, right?)

[Weasel Overlord]

Roy Karrde

[Hyperness is a Good Thing]

Roy Karrde to bandwagon ^^U Since I didn't last round.

[Roy Karrde]

Wanna back that up with some proof Weasel? Weasel Overlord

[Weasel Overlord]

Nah.

[Houndoom_Lover]

Haha, the exchange made me smile ^-^

[Emotional Faun Chiko-sai]

Well this is a pretty pickle.

It has been brought to my attention that I am not, in fact, dead. If I am, el Jobo may disregard this vote and may lightning bolts rain down in profusion upon the serpent-tongued informant for making me look a fool; if I am not, I vote for

Roy Karrde

just because I can.

[Prof. Jb Wolf]

Who to vote who to vote who to vote....hmmm.....

Dark-san

[Plantae]

So ends Day Four.

Dead
Dark-San - Gypsy
Emotional Faun Chiko-sai - Scribe, Rebel

However, the sun rises again immediately, as Day Five ascends.

[Vulpix.ck87]

Wait, so who's dead? Am I dead? Am I alive? Can I have biscuits..?

[Emotional Faun Chiko-sai]

I don't know. I don't know anything anymore D: Diddled to death, I am...

...AND WHY IS ROY BOY NOT DEAD?!

[Magmar]

Weasel Overlord, call it a hunch.

[mr_pikachu]

Sorry Weasel Overlord, but I'm not sure when I'll be able to get online tomorrow. Time to bandwagon.

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Weasel Overlord

[Plantae]

You may wish to observe, and I should have noted, that today's inquisition is a secret ballot. That is, you all private message me your votes, at Night which has yet to start.

[Plantae]

Day is ending a little early today. A small note: dooms. I had not tallied them until now. Assume, even if your name is not on this list, that you have one doom.

Dooms
Crazy Elf Boy - 2
Zcade0 - 3, Death

Dead
Zcade0 - Hedgewitch
Roy Karrde - Jester

That is all, plus Night Five.

[Houndoom_Lover]

Why was there two days in a row? Why is the day ending early? *looks very confused* This is the first time today I got this site to load, heh. Just for this game ^-^...and it's night time. Butter Biscuts.

[mr_pikachu]

Huh? Why do I have two dooms?

I voted Neutral on Day One, missed Day Two for a doom, voted Vulpix.ck on Day Three, and Neutral again on Day Four. Day Five's Inquisition hasn't happened yet, so where's my second doom?

[Plantae]

Houndoom_Lover: There were two days in a row, yes. The first one was a Simultaneous Action day, so there was no night. Today, vote is occurring during night, which means it is a secret ballot. Send me your vote by private message.

mr_pikachu: You are correct sir. Sorry for the mistake on my part. It is now fixed.

[Hyperness is a Good Thing]

Actually Plantae, I don't get why I have two dooms either.
Day one - Neutral
Day two - this I missed
Day three - dark-san
Day four - Roy
Day five -hasn't ended yet

So yeah...are you sure you aren't mistaken?

[Houndoom_Lover]

*is confused still* Alrighty then! I'll just go do that....>_< *looks on Ebay for brain upgrade*

[Weasel Overlord]

Yeaaah, I'm joining in with the "I only have one doom vote" parade.

Day 1 = Neutral
Day 2 = Doom 1
Day 3 = Dark-San
Day 4 = Roy
Day 5 = Not ended

*slaps Jibs on the wrist* Silly Planty-pie, getting his voties all mixed up.

[Plantae]

All faulty dooms have been corrected. I apologize for the length of this particular Night, but something came up. Here are the results.

Dead
Prof. JB Wolf - Executioner, Rebel

We now begin Day Six which will start with inquisition and will operate under the Rumors influence.

[Magmar]

I stand behind my vote of Weasel Overlord.

[Hyperness is a Good Thing]

I vote....
neutral for the time being...

[Magmar]

*Falls off the vote of Weasel Overlord*

Meh. I didn't really have much evidence for that.

Mr Pikachu it is, then!
Because...
I WANT PIE

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Neutral for me

[Weasel Overlord]

I am also throwing in a vote for Mr_Pikachu. For sheer lack of my brain working. Also, I'm sure he voted for me once... And since Maggy seems to have changed his ways, Mr.P it is.

[Houndoom_Lover]

Pump me up with Neutral. I have alot to do ^-^

[Emotional Faun Chiko-sai]

mr_pikachu

[Plantae]

Certainly not the most progressive Inquisition for some.

Dead
mr_pikachu - Foreign Sultan

Allow us to continue onto Night Six.

[Plantae]

Night Six has ended.

Alive
Prof. JB Wolf
Emotional Faun Chiko-sai

Day Seven begins under the Guild Business influence, with inquisition occurring immediately.

[Houndoom_Lover]

Wait, inquisitions are in PM?

[Plantae]

Inquisitions that occur during Night are private messaged. Inquisitions, like the current one, which occur during Day are posted in the thread.

[mr_pikachu]

Blarg! I are dead!

But for once, I'm actually okay with being killed... due to some unfortunate circumstances, I couldn't vote in time and would've received a second doom anyway. Ah well.

[Magmar]

Hyperness is a Good Thing.

Trust me on this one. Rumor has it.

[Magmar]

Wait... I thought Prof. Whatever was a Rebel... does this mean that he's alive and not a rebel?

Don't know what the hell is going on so my vote remains the same because I listen to rumors...

[Hyperness is a Good Thing]

!!!
What?!
....Magmar as a counter vote.
I am shocked...Well, you'll see at the end of the day..=(

[Crazy Elf Boy]

I will vote for Magmar, because voting for some one on a Rumor.

[Emotional Faun Chiko-sai]

...WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM?!

Magmar

...FOREHEAD POWAR.

[Plantae]

To conclude Day Seven, and also, the entire game.

Dead
Magmar - Armorer

The likes of Emotional Faun Chiko-sai, Hyperness is a Good Thing, and Crazy Elf Boy have vanquished the king by outnumbering his servants as the illusion of the truly dead Prof. JB Wolf fades. Victory to the Rebels!

Please post any comments or criticisms, or if you wish to withdraw from next game. Ideally, Coup D'état Round Two will start Thursday at 12 PM CST. Please observe the rules (http://www.freewebs.com/plantae0/), as they have been altered slightly.

[Magmar]

x.x damn majority vote XD

[mr_pikachu]

My only comment is that I hope we don't have any delays next game, as I'm going to be away for five or six days in early or mid-August.

Oh, and that it would help to be informed about the time of Inquisition within the host's regular posts as well as edits to the first post. That got rather confusing at times, and I think it screwed up some people.

[Hyperness is a Good Thing]

YAY EVIL PLOTTING ^_^
*we thought that we were going to lose*

[Emotional Faun Chiko-sai]

Hello amigos. I was actually thinking we were gonna get a tie vote in and possibly all our plans screwed up, but I guess Wurzworth is lost in Carkleland :x

In any case... we really lucked out by not getting any of us rebels suspected at all the way through till almost the end of the game.

*throws confetti*

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Whoa that is the first time I have ever won one of these games, having a powerful role helps to ^_^.

[Weasel Overlord]

Gosh DARN it! I AM lost in Carkleland! Sorry all you other non-rebel types, your friendly neighbourhood whore was a'holidayin'. ^_^

Bar Wench is the BEST role ever! :D

Sign me up for next game, Jibbles! I'm not sure about queen Carkle, I shall ask her when she gets back from work.

[Magmar]

my role rocked! hope everyone enjoyed their gift-ies!!!!!!!!

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Yes thankyou for the gift Magmar, it was exactly what i wanted. Being the Princess and all, sorry you had to die ^_^'''''

[Magmar]

well you could've let me live! did i give you the pop tart shuriken or the hacky sack spike ball??

[Plantae]

The thread for next round is up here (http://www.pokemasters.net/forums/showthread.php?t=16257). Roles are currently being sent, but I will be done with that momentarily.
