Excalibur [17/17]

[FakeGod]

Excalibur

The legendary sword awaits.

• You are
  Knight Errants
  , chivalrous adventurers seeking to punish evil wherever you find it.
  
• Four of you are
  Fallen Knights
  , who seek to bring down the
  Knight Errants
  . They will murder one player each night.
  
• All matters are settled with
  duels
  , not
  lynches
  . Each of you may publicly
  challenge
  another to a duel, which
  gladiates
  the two of you.
  
• The legendary sword,
  Excalibur
  , lies
  unclaimed
  in public.
  
• Anyone can secretly
  claim
  Excalibur
  during the night, and transform into a
  Bulletproof Vigilante
  . It will be publicly announced that the sword has been
  claimed
  , but not the identity of the player who
  claimed
  it.
  
• If you are not the rightful owner of the sword, you will
  die
  instead of your target when you try to
  vig
  someone. If a
  Mafia
  -aligned player
  claims
  Excalibur
  , then he/she will immediately
  die
  .
  
• Note that if more than one player try to
  claim
  the
  Excalibur
  during the night, one of them will be
  randomly
  chosen for the sword.
  
• If the player who has the
  Excalibur
  dies, then it becomes publicly
  unclaimed
  again. You cannot willingly
  unclaim
  the sword.
  
• One of the
  Knight Errants
  is
  Arthur
  , the rightful owner of
  Excalibur
  , but he is
  unaware
  of his true nature and will receive a simple
  Knight Errant Role PM
  . (but will still flip as
  Arthur
  )
  
• Thankfully, one of you is the wizard
  Merlin
  , who is aware of
  Arthur's
  true identity. Merlin also knows who has the
  Excalibur
  at all times.
  
• Merlin
  cannot just outright say who
  Arthur
  is, because
  Mafia

  Nightkill
  resolves before the

  claiming

  of the sword.
  
  
• Finally, if there is only one
  Fallen Knight
  remaining, then he/she will surrender and the game will end in
  Town

  Victory
  .

This is Open Setup, 17p game, with 8 days Day Phase, 2 days Night Phase. Hydras are not allowed.

Wait, how do you "claim" Excalibur? Do they just PM and basically try their luck?

Yes.

And shouldn't the mafia basically be banned from claiming Excalibur since that's just a way to suicide for them?

If they think Arthur is going to get the sword tonight, they can try to claim the sword en masse to force the RNG. Dying is better than letting Arthur claim Excalibur.

Duels here just mean that instead of lynches, you gladiate people.

You yell in bold in thread, "

I CHALLENGE VARSOON TO A DUEL

", and the mod puts up the VC with you and Varsoon in it as options. People lynch between you two, and no one else can be lynched. (Varsoon was just an example)

I don't know what Duel Mafia is.

[FakeGod]

Yes, it's similar.

So I'm assuming you can't claim the sword and also make the vig kill in the same night since the claiming of the sword is a full night action?

you cannot claim the sword and make the vig kill in the same night
