Sweet Pete, the Pirate of the Jungle, did a bit of viral marketing by finding the news story regarding Louieville and craftily spread the legend of the town that defeated its oppressors through voting them off daily. He was careful to avoid any mention of Dafagabawat, due to the utter nihilism of the event.
Soon, the drastic measure was on everyone’s lips. Ninja and Pirate killings were constantly on the minds of everyday townies. The idea was soon adopted by Rio’s mayor, but with a caveat.
“We certainly cannot proceed in this fashion without some kind of safeguarding! The idea of killing citizens off daily without some sort of trial is unfathomable. So, as a compromise, I have randomly chosen a defense attorney and judge. Should either of them die, they will then choose their successor; should the successor die, he will again choose who shall follow his footsteps. We can only pray that these jobs do not fall in the wrong hands!”
The Rules:
Everyday each townsperson is allowed to vote for whomever he believes is either a Pirate or a Ninja. Since all roles remain anonymous, Pirates and Ninjas will vote along with the townies.
If a player does not vote within a two day time-frame, that person shall be considered deceased. However, if a player contacts the game-master to say that he will be gone for more than two days for whatever reason, then the player will be granted leave without penalty.
Pirates and Ninjas will have kills on alternating days (Pirates odd days Ninjas even days—these are not based on calendar numbers, but rather on game days, i.e. day 1 is odd, day 2 is even). The only ones who may contact the game-master with the kill will be the head of either group. The heads of the Pirates and Ninjas are Sweet Pete and Storm Snake respectively. Each faction will have four members, the head and three henchmen.
Now, without further ado, I present to you the:
Dramatis Personae
Pirates – Odd Days
Headed by the fearsome Sweet Pete, Pirate of the Jungle, this scruffy band makes the town’s lives a living hell by looting and pillaging. Somehow, though, they rarely get caught and the town simply can’t distinguish between them, the Ninjas, nor themselves. This very well may have something to do with the town’s cultural diversity.
Ninjas – Even Days
Some consider these men to be the greater foes of the town. Despite their leader’s name, Storm Snake, being widely known, all else about them remains a mystery. They hold no love for either Pirate or Townsfolk and kill indiscriminately. They’re shady, stealthy, and totally sweet.
Senhor Policia – The head of the Detective Unit of Rio de Setembro (DUR), he runs a nightly investigation on each town member. Due to the relatively unsophisticated computer system of the town, he can only get information on one townsperson each night. Unfortunately, due to the strict laws preventing any actual police work, he cannot act upon any of his investigations by killing anyone. Also, the Mafia leaders (godfathers) are invisible to Senhor Policia as they are experts at hiding in plain sight.
Piranha – This saucy maiden is quite beguiling. She’s exceedingly wealthy, yet has never held an actual job. How she makes her money is quite a mystery, but it may have something to do with her connections with the town’s elite and her nightly parties.
Iwamatsu the Ronin – This samurai immigrated to Rio to escape his violent past. But the Ninjas have brought dishonor to his culture. He has decided to take up arms each night and do battle against them. But, he has sworn to himself, should he kill an innocent, he will perform seppuku.
Blue Bangs – A former pirate, his gang was destroyed by Sweet Pete’s rotten bunch. He holed up with a former Ninja master and has learned the ways of Ninjutsu, making him the first ever Ninja Pirate. His guiding light is burning hatred. Every night he may kill off any person he chooses.
THE COURT SYSTEM
The Townies act as the Prosecutor by voting up one man whose fate will be decided by:
Phoenix Wright – Defense Attorney
This man was specially picked by the mayor. Each night he has to decide whether or not to defend the man chosen to be prosecuted. If he refuses, the chosen dies, if he accepts then the final decision goes to:
Judge Wapner
When Phoenix decides to defend a townie, he makes the Guilty or Not Guilty call.
Anyone who is on the docket cannot be killed that night as he is under protection of the jail guards.
IMPORTANT – THESE ROLES WILL BE PASSED ON SHOULD THEY DIE. THE PERSON WHO HOLDS THESE ROLES WILL CHOOSE HIS SUCCESSOR. WHEN THERE ARE FIVE OR FEWER TOWNIES, THESE POSITIONS WILL BE LIQUIDATED.
And of course The Good People of Rio de Setembro.
