Endroth: Lights Out

This game takes place hundreds of years from now; a time when the Earth’s surface has become buried in waste and garbage. In a time when the atmosphere is no longer strong enough to defend its inhabitants from the sun’s UV rays. In order to escape certain death, the remaining human population gathered any remaining life and burrowed far underground to establish a self maintaining civilization; Endroth.

Endroth was created not only to keep its residents safe, but also to create a thriving, peaceful civilization. But like always, there are those who threaten the peace. In the year 2602, 20 decades after the establishment of the city, a select few have pledged their lives to an underground society: Lights Out. Mindlessly lead by the society’s leader, the members of Lights Out have a main goal to turn off the power source that lights up the city. Without these lights the city would be engulfed in darkness.

Lights Out has its roots from the son of a known criminal. His father was a disgrace to the city after being involved in many thefts and even murder. Finally he was thrown in jail and his son was put into an orphanage. Being the son of a disgrace his childhood was hard. Everyone refused to treat him fairly. When he came of age, he established Lights Out to take out his revenge on those who made his life unbearable.


Rules:

1. The main rules apply so follow them. :U
2. At the beginning of day 1, I will randomly appoint a mayor.
3. As soon as the mayor chooses his Judge, the Judge will be announced as well. If the town feels that the judge should be kept after the mayor has been killed, a majority must say "Keep the Judge."
4. In the case of a power outage, the entire city will go pitch black. This will cause a mass panic. During this time of panic a number of things will occur. First of all during the daytime no more posts by anyone will be made. Everyone will instead PM me their lynch vote and or what else they want to say. In other words, from then on only I will post, saying the words of everyone else anonymously. :O
5. Flashlights are very important, those carrying them will be able to PM each other. Those with flashlights can also choose for me to “broadcast” (PM) a message to any people they want who also have flashlights.
6. The mayor is in charge of the reserved energy, this energy has enough power to be able to light the city for 2 more cycles. But after that the city will become dark once again. =S At any time the mayor can PM me that he wants to use the reserved energy.
7. Village wins if the all Lights Out members are killed.
8. Mafia wins if they not only blackout the city, but have the same amount of members as village sided folk.
9. No metagaming.
10. Don’t be detrimental to your own side.
11. You will be killed due to inactivity in 2 cycles, you can prevent this by posting in the thread or PMing me.
12. Power outages will not affect the mafia - they will not be able to PM me a message to post in the thread if they don't have a flashlight - but they are in either case still allowed to PM their fellow mafia members. During a black out villagers can still make a lynch vote, but it will all be done anonymously.
13. All mafia members know eachother.

Public Roles:

Mayor - If the Mayor is part of the village, his vote will count double during the day lynch. He is also in charge of reserved energy that is used incase of a power outage. In addition he has a flashlight.

Judge - Appointed by the mayor; he is in charge of the town court. If he feels that a lynch is unfair, he may save the person in question. This may only happen once per elected judge. He has a flashlight. (If the mayor dies, the judge can still remain in office. This will happen if the majority of the village agrees to keep him in office. If not a new judge will be picked by the mayor.)

Endroth Society Roles:

Doctor (1) - Trained in the field of medicine. If a person at night is injured (kill attempt) the doctor can heal him back to health.

Mechanic (1) - In addition to having a flashlight himself, he can give a flashlight to three people of his choice.

Workers (2) - They are in charge of the electrical power running through the city. Being the backbone of the city, if they both die there will be a power outage.

Detective (1) - Every night he may investigate one person and find out their role. Has a flashlight.

Prominent Individual (1) - If this person is lynched, the town will go into mourning. During the consecutive night no villager will be killed. If the hooker visits the prominent individual, he/she will turn into a normal villager.

Villagers (?) - Are allowed to participate in the lynch vote.

Lights Out Roles:

Leader (1) - He is in charge of the secret society. Once during the game he can force a death during the night even if the lynch is not in his favor. He has a flashlight and he can give a flashlight to two other people.

Janitor (1) - Once per game, the janitor can chose a person at night, if that person dies during the cycle only the janitor will know his/her role.

The Hooker (1) - With your charm you can cause a person's power to fail during the night.

Framer (1) - Will chose a person every night, that person will appear as a mafioso if inspected by the detective.

Mafioso (1) - Regular mafia guy. :U

Third Party:

Politician (1) - His goal during the game is to become mayor. He will win if he does so. During the 3rd cycle he can choose to either join the village or the mafia. He will be counted in the lynch or mafia vote depending on which side he chooses.

Nyctophobic (1) - Has an extreme fear of the dark. If there is a power outage he will die within 1 cycle. If a person visits him during the power outage, that person will be killed. Wins if there is no power outage.

Right, should be easier to comment on things if I quote them. I didn't quote the flavour because it's long, but I think the flavour is a really neat concept. And an original one at that! :content:

Rules


Roles


Overall? I'm giving a lot of criticism, I know, but I really want to play this game. :grin: How many villagers would there be.

Can someone else look it over too? I don't want my comments to be the only ones.

>clicks preview
>crap this thing is long

...

.....sorry about that. ^ ^;

Edit: Oh bleh, I see two places I can put in spoilers. So I've done so.
NEVER MIND ABOUT THE WORKERS TOTAL MISREAD DERP. CARRY ON.

Edited the main post.

Also I want an opinion, should people with flashlight be able to post?

No, because flashlights provide directional light while blacking out the area behind the flashlight, i.e. the holder of the flashlight.

You have the hooker/virgin clause on the Prominent Individual.

This looks awesome.
