Ideologies Game

Flavor-
It's the year 2034, and things are still shitty. America has has degraded further, into a proletariat uprising. However, with the lack of any clear leader, it's simply become an anarchic mess. However, thirteen different people have all holed themselves up in the same set of tunnels (most of which lead to the underground bunker of the White House) and they're going to live, and organize their new government- by spreading their own ideas or by killing those who'd oppose them.

All the standard rules that would normally apply to anything I might run would also apply to this.

Unique rules to this-
If a Mason masons a Mason, then the Masoned Mason is no longer able to Mason.
If a Mason masons a Mason, then the people the Mason has Masoned will still stick to that ideal, they'll just have no converting role.
If a Mason dies, and they have Masoned some Masons, then the Masoned Masons are now allowed to Mason. However, only one Mason is permitted to Mason. There can only be one Masoning Mason in a faction. (If faction leader A converts faction leader B, and then A dies, B will be able to begin conversions. If A also converted C, and B is alive, then C will not be able to convert. If A and B die, then C can convert.)
If a Mason WOULD convert someone but dies, then the ideology will NOT stick. I can put this in speed ranks for ya too.

How to win-
When there is only ONE FACTION left standing (meaning EVERYONE ELSE IN THE GAME has been converted to YOUR cause) you win. Third party wins are possible if there is only a single, unaligned Vigilante or the like left.

Roles


The Signers

-Shadow31. He joined preemptively! Like a boss.
-SnowRemnant. He joined second. He's pretty cool. - Democratic Leader
-BloodRayne03. He joined third, and suggested a rules change. A good one, too! - Tunnel Dweller
-OdoTheGreat. He thinks he'll be able to get along with Snow this game. That's nice, I like the both of them. I hope they get along.
-Aviana. She joined fifth. She's also the first girl to join!
-UnderNineThousand. He joined in a location that was not above nine thousandth, so his name rings true.
-TKallab. He joined seventh. What a boss. - Communist Tunnel Dweller
-PSN Strykr. He will be reprising his role in the flavor. - Communist Leader
-MidnightScream. She totally told me she would be joining at school. No, she didn't have a choice in the matter.
-Sum Nox. He rose from the grave, apparently.
-Draco12387. He also joined at school, but I forgot about him.
-TalonJay. He joined second to last.
-Uberhorse753. And then I started rollin' mah roles.

Changes from the previous game:

Clarified some rules on masons, added speed ranks.
Tweaked the politician.
Gave the lobbyist a vest.
Changed the ratio of Lobbyists to Vigilantes.
I will confirm conversions to the converter and the converted. There will be vague hints in the flavor too.

I think that there should be a change for the masons. There can only be one active mason per faction, but if you convert another mason and then die, that converted mason should be able to pick up your slack and keep converting to their new faction. Also, in.

Excellent.

Just wondering, when you say "conversions are only confirmed to the converter" does that mean the converted don't know they're converted?

Wait. How will that work, then? If a leader gets converted, don't they lose their conversion powers? So won't they know they've been converted?

Ummmmm, how does that work with those converted not knowing they're converted? That would make it REALLY hard for all the separate factions to coordinate.

Cool idea in theory, but yeah, in practice that would be pretty silly.

Excellent!

Oh, and for your information, one of the lobbyists was changed to a doktor.

Rollan!
AH MISCOUNTED LOOKS LIKE I NEED ANOTHER SIGNUP

OR I COULD AXE THE ANARCHIST

OR A TUNNEL DWELLER

I'MMA DO THE LATTER
The sun set over the entrance to the utility tunnels. The utility tunnels were a small bastion of peace from the dingy shit hole of modern America, and he found it comforting. The cop could poke his head above ground now and then, find food for himself and his friends... He could sustain himself alright down here. And God knows, anything is better than being UP THERE. Dust storms, crazy bankers with shit luck. It was pretty lame up there. No, he'd stay in the utility tunnels, he'd decided.

He turned the corner to raised voices, and a heated debate about new governments. The cop froze, his mind flashed back to that building, five years ago.

Two words escaped his lips.

"Oh, fuck."

NIGHT PHASE 1, GO!

Three downtrodden figures huddled around a burning oil drum, illuminating the dingy walls around them. A spooky affair, to be sure, the miserable green walls of cobble were just visible in the dark. The three warmed their hands- their coats weren't doing quite the job, being but rags now. "Find anything today?" asked one tattered man.

The woman unzipped her ratty backpack, and produced a book. "I found this."

"You can read, right Snow?" asked the first.

Snow scanned the pages. "Democracy. Huh."

"Whassat?"

"Well, y'know how them corporations're running everything up there? Leaving these gaddamn ghettos all over the place? This suggests that everyone have a little say in how their government oughta be run," said SnowRemnant. He used to be somebody. A scholar, a well educated banker. He had a little gambling problem, sure, but nothing too bad.

One of them scrunched up his nose. "Sounds stupid. We've done just fine on the fringe. Shouldn't be no trouble going on as we always have."

The other scratched her neck. "I dunno. This sounds... promising."

"Well, I think it's stupid."

Snow shushed the two. "It's got to be better than this shithole. Who's with me!?"

"I am!" shouted the woman. The other remained silent.

"Et tu?" remarked Snow. Him and his friend wandered off into the dark.

BANG.

The man woke with a start and ran over to where it had come from, only to stumble across the woman cradling Snow in her arms. "He's dead, he's dead! The only hope we had in this life and he's dead..."

Snow's corpse was a ghastly sight- his eyes lay open, the man hadn't had time to notice. He was still smiling, full of so much hope, so much life.

"God rest your soul, Snow." The man laid Snow's eyes shut.

DEAD- SnowRemnant, the Democratic Leader.

GO GO DAY PHASE 1!

Let's kill PSN. He won last time, let's give someone else a chance.

So, you are voting for me because I won one game out of pure luck? Huh. Also, that post you made seems like it means you are not the Anarchist or a Tunnel Dweller. This means that you are not a very dangerous person to us, and becaus eof that, I will not retaliate my vote onto you. You could be a leader, but even then, they aren't actually dangerous. So I am withholding my vote for now.

Which post PSN? There's no content in there. How could you divine his role with that post? It makes no sense.

See, if he was a Tunnel Dweller or Anarchist, he would have probably targeted me for the reasons given. True, there is a slight chance that I was protected by the doc or he wanted to try and get people to vote for me, meaning he got an extra kill last night, but I don't believe that quite as much.

So there you are. My reasoning behind that.

Well then, do we have any evidence to go for someone and is there any sense in an RL?

I don't think we have enough evidence to go for anyone, though PSN's behaviour strikes me as... odd, somehow. Probably due to the total lack of vanillagers.

We're probably best RL'ing.

Guys, this isn't a standard maf/village. It's a factions. Which means "if they aren't my faction, they need to go."
So RLs are the way to go, at least until you get info.

PSN was basically pulled out as a "why not". I'm not a faction head, so I don't really care who dies as long as it's not me.


...inb4 I die.

PSN unscrewed the bottle cap to the bottle of gin he had just retrieved from the desolate storefront. PSN had peeked his head out of the tunnels for a run around of the shops- though most things were looted, there was the odd liquor store that was still run fairly efficiently, and people would pay for the dew with whatever they could grub for. Which, in PSN's case. was a fairly well-off coat. He didn't need it anyways, he had a spare.

The spare had a new hole that evening, and so did PSN's body. Near his corpse lay a copy of the Communist Manifesto. A man picked it up, smirked, and tore it in half. "That's a stupid form of government anyways."

DEAD: PSN Strykr- the Communist Leader
