Civilization Mafia - Town Wins!

[SinisterOverlord]

Civilization Mafia

It is 5000 BC. Man has lived for centuries, roaming the world in loose tribes, a basic hunter-gatherer society. But now, something has changed.

20 of these tribes have formed together, settled permanently in one place, and elected a leader. These civilizations are about to discover each other, to interact towards peace and war. Ultimately, most people will aim to develop a lasting peace with all their neighbours and grow for the betterment of mankind. To this end, the leaders have agreed a place regularly to convene, to discuss the state of the world and whatever action they must take. But not all the leaders have such good intentions...

Barbarian tribes roam on the borders of the civilized nations. Even now, the barbarian chieftains have formed alliances and infiltrated the meeting, in the hope of turning the nations on one another, and destroying all they have worked so hard to build! Can the kings, emperors, consuls and other esteemed leaders identify the barbarians and execute them, cutting off the head of the barbarian snake? Or will the savage tribes succeed in their aim to destroy the nations of the world?

Normal rules (stolen from many, mainly Phoebus)

-Votes should be in the format Vote: JohnCitizen. If they aren't, they will be ignored. Also, remember to unvote before voting someone else.

-No communication outside the thread unless you are specifically told otherwise in your role PM's - and then, only according to the specified conditions.

-Once a player has reached a majority of votes, the day will end and that player will be killed. Please try to keep discussion to a minimum after this occurs.

-You can Vote: No Lynch if you want the day to end without a lynch. As with voting for players, a majority is required.

-If you have died, don't add anything further. You may post once - so long as it contains nothing significant about the game.

-Don't edit or delete posts once they have been posted.

-Don't quote PM's from me, on penalty of death.

-If you don't get in a night choice before the deadline, you will not do anything at all that night.

-Feel free to ask if you have any further questions.

Game-specific rules

-Every night, a player can choose to build a unit, or advance into the next era. They can also use any units they built on previous nights.

-Most units have an A/D/M (Attack/Defence/Movement) value. Each value corresponds to a normal night action - Attack to a vig kill, Defence to a doc protect, Movement to a cop investigation. If a unit has a value greater than 0 for a stat, they can use the unit in that way at night (but each unit can only be used in one way per night). The probability of sucess is the stat divided by 5 - so, a unit with Attack of 1 would have a 20% chance of a sucessful vig kill, and a unit with a defence of 3 would have a 60% chance of a sucessful doc protect.

-Some units have a Bombard value - these can be used as roleblockers. The player can choose to have the Bombard-capable unit target the player's cities or units. Should they target the cities, then that player's unit production or era-advancement for the night will be nullified. Should they target the units, then all that player's units will be unable to perform any actions.

-For example, the standard units that all players can build in the Ancient Era are:
Warrior - 1/1/1
Spearman - 0/2/0
Horseman - 0/0/2
Archer - 2/0/0
Catapault - 0/0/0 - Bombard: 2

-A player can have any combination of units they like, and probabilities do not stack - so each unit must have its own target picked, though it can be the same target if the player wishes.

-A player can target themself with a doc protect ability if they like, but only with one of their units.

-All players will be told via PM what units they are capable of building at any given time, along with those unit's values.

-Every civilization has a single unique unit. This replaces one of the commonly available units, and is significantly more effective.

-There are 4 eras total. Players start in the Ancient era, and can advance to the Medieval, Industrial and Modern Eras via night actions - instead of building a unit, you can advance one era. Each era has its own selection of units you can build - the more advanced the era, the more effective the units.

-Again, feel free to ask any questions.

Okay, here's the way the deadline works. At the deadline, if any player has half the neccesary votes they're lynched; if multiple do, the one with the most is; if multiple are on the same number the first one to reach it is lynched. If a half majority is not reached, there is no lynch.

Also, keep up this rate of posting and I may remove the deadline.
