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.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions at all.

By the way, might I humbly suggest you pick the roles with the help of a random number generator or a d20 or names in a hat or something? So we don't have to put up with stuff like:

There were four people who survived the original game--Bill, Pale, IceCold and TVman. Bill's not playing this game. TVman turned out to be the cop. Pale and IceCold were Godfathers. He gave all the best positions to the people who won the last game. Mario, a forum favorite, was made the captain. Ty (a mod) was given the position of Freemason. None of Pyro's favorites were made townies.
I'm pretty sure I know who the vigilante is and it's not Deguello.
This means that Deguello (also a mod) is probably in one of the two mafias. It's possible that he's even the Rat. (Although, since this is his first time playing the game Pyro might not have trusted him with such an important position, "the star of the show" as he referred to the character.)

Pryo claims all roles were randomly assigned and completely coincedental...

Glad to see there's no Captain or Rat. No hidden characters, please?
Finally, I'd like to say that just because I lied to everyone last game, doesn't mean I'll do the same this game. Please don't kill me on the first day.
EDIT: Jeez, these rules are complicated.
QuoteThis position is the same as the serial killer, right? Because for a second I thought the Rat had returned.

Are the judge and attorney public roles or hidden roles like the rest?
Yes, it is possible that people who have assigned roles could end up with the Judge/Phoenix roles. All roles are hidden. There will be no public roles.

Seriously, a few questions...
The Attoney/Judge positions - these could possibly go to a Mafia member or whomever? This seems... icky to me - giving the Mafias more potential for power. But it could be interesting.
Second, can we have some firm - written - rules concerning the dead - what they can/cannot do and what kind of harsh punishment they'll be given for breaking the rules?
Third - While I don't expect Pryo to be on the boards every night at X O'clock, can we have an exact time to know when the vote ends? Just for reference?

Definately, but, if I understood correctly, the roles aren't public, so we could end up voting the Judge/Attorney by mistake, right? Wouldn't this affect the game balance? Unless townies knew who the judge/attorney are at all times, that way if a pirate king of ninja master gets to be the judge, we could vote him out (we would need to find out first). <-- Am I making sense?

Alright, here's the balance. And I've added this to the official rules. Anyone who is voted is protected by any kind of hit. In the unlikely event that a Pirate or Ninja should get both Phoenix and Judge roles, that is their reward. But, they are only protected when the townsfolk vote for them. There are three other people trying to kill him. On any given night that he is not on the docket, he is not protected.
The Judge and Phoenix roles MUST be kept confidential. Pirates and Ninjas would literally kill for that role.
Keep in mind, when there are FIVE or Fewer players left, the Court will be dissolved.

Imagine DA & Judge in the same mafia, that would be a pain in the ass for the townies
they could never vote out those two members of the mafia as long as someone is always voting for them, they would have to die another way.
Post by: Pale on February 28, 2006, 09:13:39 AM
Also, if either is killed, will we be told they were a judge/da, or will they be quietly re-assigned so only the new judge/da would know?

The cop will be informed of both roles.

wait, so the cop will always know the real identity of the DA and the Judge?
So if Mafia runs the court, the cop will know what exactly, just the player name, or also their role as mafia?
p.s. I know the question sounds like it was answered in the quote, but I need a more definative answer.
I'm pretty sure you meant that the cop will know the player name and their role as either DA or Judge, but I just want to be sure.
