Speaking of Sir Thomas More, what was his Utopia all about? It all started with a diplomatic trip to the Low Country on behalf of King Henry VIII...

NOTHING's got me concerned. That's why I'm acting so casual. Because I'm am feeling casual, because I'm not concerned.

But your first post didn't seem that casual, it came across to me in a more worrying type of tone rather than a sarcastic one.

I had an idea on the way to work. I would like to play a minigame. It has nothing to do with our roles in this newbie game. This is a game for 4-8 players, and its just a silly little teambuilding/get-to-know-you kinda thing. I will not play, but will run the game.

We need at least 4 to start, so let me know if you are interested.

It shouldn't take too long, nor do we have to stop the normal course of this mafia game to play it.

i guess so, but it seems to me we've spent longer than usual without really going anywhere. it's mostly been people just talking to each other. maybe it's just me but i still don't really have a sense of where to place anyone, whereas in other games i've usually had at least a few reads by this time.

I think we're on the right track though, even if we're taking it slowly! :)

Ok here it is:

In this game, there are 4 sides: North, South, East, and West.
This is a game of negotiation.
Each side should play to their win conditions.
Each side may, at any time, decide to ATTACK any other side.
Once attacked, a side may COUNTERATTACK (but is not required to).
The game ends when a win condition is fulfilled.

Here are you "roles" It's the honor system, so don't look at the spoilers for the roles other than your own. If more players want to join, they can join another player.

North - DarrenWoodWard
Spoiler:
You are aligned with the East.
You win if you are alive when any other side achieves their win condition.


South - Gorny
Spoiler:
You are aligned with the West.
You are one-way lovers with the North. (You die if the North dies).
You win if you are alive when any other side achieves their win condition.


East - Northsideegal
Spoiler:
You are aligned with the North.
You win when all threats to you are eliminated.


West - Aristophanes
Spoiler:
You are aligned with the South.
The West will automatically counterattack any other group that attacks it. This cannot be prevented.
You win when all threats to you are eliminated.


Have fun!
