Contagion in the Palace (Town Win!)

[Nanook]

Rules:
Minimum 6 players, can accommodate more (this run is 7). The GM chooses 1 King and 1 Assassin, who are told only their own identity. The remaining players are Guards, who each know the identity of the King.

The first day has a hammer vote, meaning the first player with a majority of votes on them is immediately chosen as the first infected player.

The chosen person's role is announced immediately. They then choose the next person to infect--they have 48 hours at most to do so. They will die as soon as the infection is passed. This continues with each person choosing the next infection until the game ends. The players may always talk throughout the game, there are no night phases.

The goal of the Assassin is to pass the infection to the King. The goal of the Guards is to infect the Assassin before he figures out who the King is. The goal of the King is to stay alive and not be discovered by the Assassin. If the Assassin dies without having infected the King, the town wins! Otherwise the Assassin wins.

Playerlist:

Game map:

*********


D1 has started! It will last 48 hours or until a majority vote has been reached (using Huge Red Letters, and that person will be the first infected player.

You have approximately 2 days, until July 14, 1am EDT/6am BST, to choose a majority candidate. Good luck!

SOMEONE LYNCH ME, I AM TOO HELPFUL!

[condude1]

Hey everyone!

So, there was a mixup pre-game, and unfortunately for y'all, I received the name of the king. I'm the assassin. Lynch me today, I shoot Kimbyrle, game's over, I win, it's a wrap.

If you're helpful why would we lynch you?

Well then lynch yourself Condude1.

[sinnybee]

I'm not scum, as usual

No time to post more because of all the $%&* in playdip discord.

[kimpossible]

Condude's right, I'm the king.

Wait, I'm the assassin.

Hang on, Shadow's the king.

Shit.

What are we playing again?

It's a running joke.

Ok, now who's on my shit list currently? I won't be mad at sjg again until next Fable game. Shadow hasn't done anything horribly devious lately. Nanook isn't in this one. Hmm.

UFO Fever, I think you get the honor of being my opening joke vote for being the scum I called on D3 but couldn't lynch in Tribal.

Fair, though you're wrong.

Entirely likely. We have 2 / 6 not even checked in to the thread yet, so while my snap super-slim gut read on Sinny is "townie" and I like condude's opening gambit, it's waaaaaay too early to make a serious read.

So, thoughts on how to approach this? This is definitely a weird inversion of how I'm accustomed to playing, where I'm looking for one person who doesn't know enough, while also pretending not to know anything and knowing everyone else (well, except 2 people) are doing the same. In a sense we can afford to infect a guard, maybe two, but each one narrows the assassin's pool of suspects. Giving the infection to the assassin gives him his chance to kill the king... and yet we can't just play keepaway because he'll get it through POE by the end. Blargh.

So yeah, I'd prefer to just get the assassin infected asap.
