 (source) Lady Florence Prae, Duchess of Nesque and Managing Partner of "Prae & Assoc's. Trading Co." has died suddenly and without issue. Her family attends her funeral not out of sympathy and mourning, but to discover who gets to inherit the land, titles, and fortune from the late duchess's very profitable soap venture. However, that evening, as they gathered into the great hall to have her will read out loud, they discovered a most horrible sight: the lawyer had been killed and the will torn to pieces and burned! Someone (or someones) in the funeral party must want the estate for themselves, and they are willing to kill for it. Now the party must bring these villains to justice.  (source) Welcome to this game of kingmaker! Kingmaker is a mafia variant, read the rules for it here. In brief: there are only four roles: VILLAGER, a normal vanilla townie; ASSASSIN, a mafia goon; the HERO, who is confirmed town and cannot be executed; and the KINGMAKER, another confirmed town and the name of the game. Each night the Kingmaker selects a player in the game to act the next day as the KING; this player is publicly announced and has the job of deciding, solely, who shall be the day's execution. Anyone except the Kingmaker can be selected to be the King, town and scum alike. Once the King has made their decision, the day ends; the Kingmaker may then select another King, if they so wish. However the mafia also get to perform their nightkill, meaning good kings rarely last long. This game will have a variable number of players. There must be at least 7 (Kingmaker, Hero, and three villagers vs. two assassins). As more players sign up the number of assassins will go up as well such that there will always be about a quarter to a third of the game as scum. I will accept signups for a handful of days, or until I get impatient. This game will have tight deadlines: 24 hours for each game day, 6 hours for each game night. Plan accordingly. This game will have a hard deadline of Friday, December 16th. If the game is not over by then, it will be considered a wash! Aside from the rule modifications above, the standard mafia rules still apply. And since this is an Ecco game, remember to ##unvote. While your votes will not have any direct effect, it is a helpful way to guide a King. Enjoy! EccoRaven fucked around with this message at 23:16 on Dec 8, 2016 |

In. To clarify, per regular Kingmaker rules, no one may claim to be the Kingmaker, yes? Edit: I may be misreading things. Anyway, will be fun.

That may have just been a friendly house rule back in IRC, now that I think about it. I dunno, it's up to you. The idea though was to avoid lylo situations where the King had to choose between the kingmaker and the scum. It sucked for scum in those instances if the kingmaker could just claim, though at that point it's moot. There are plenty of Kingmaker strats that people are welcome to figure out on their own.

What happens if the kingmaker is assassinated? That's not clarified in the rules wiki. Assassins auto win? Another villager gets it? No more king changes?

Basically, if kingmaker is night killed, their choice for king is carried through. If the kingmaker is lunched, a new town is made kingmaker and they then make the choice for new king. Sometimes the kingmaker has to make two choices in the even that their first choice is killed.

No more king changes? is this a signup? also yeah a new kingmaker would be randomly selected, though I'm considering for the future running variants to kingmaker where perhaps if the kingmaker dies Democracy reigns for a time.

Just gonna watch. I'll be too busy in the next week, but the game format looks interesting so I was asking for future games and it looked like something folks should know ahead of time.

Not only must you certainly be penniless after having been swindled so thoroughly, but also half-blind to think that portrait looks anything like you. *tosses you a coin* Here lad, have a copper and get yourself some supper. My conscience won't allow me to sleep tonight if I don't aid you, and neither can my ears bear the grumbling of your empty stomach.

FYI this was from TNL's versions of Kingmaker that were played on the forums: TNL posted:The Kingmaker may never reveal his role! If he does it is an automatic modkill. There are no restrictions for other roles but I can't imagine anyone really claim Assassin, and claiming Hero hurts your role more than it helps. The flavor reason being that scum will take any opportunity to kill the kingmaker the moment they are revealed because they are a perfect target.

At any rate, I'll leave you to throwing around currency, your accordian and your tiny beast. Good day.

Moatillata posted:*Watches with disdain as coin drops to the ground* *shrugs* Suit yourself. As Tobbs walks off, Moatilatta waits for him to round a corner. The men to whom Moat had gestured, bearing no relation or interest in him, watch as he sinks to his knees in the mud, desperately scrabbling around to find the copper. A cloud of dust is kicked up from a passing carriage, and Moat sniffs lightly, feeling a sneeze coming on. Fortunately, his generous nostril provides a massive amount of suction, and the copper piece flies right into it! Overjoyed, Moat scampers into a nearby bakery to purchase a loaf of bread. Tobbs watches the spectacle from the carriage. He remembers when Moat was more fortunate, but lowly Merchants are often reduced to peasantry when their fortunes fail. No matter. As a true and benevolent Lord of this land, Tobbs had a Kingdom to run.
