Gee, it was more fun when it was only a few gals sighing to get noticed...
I've been working on the details, and the sign-up thread for
Mafia 42: Assassin in the Palace will be up sometime tomorrow, at the latest.
------------
Just for a refresher:
Assassin in the Palace is a nightless mafia variant....no mafia hits, no investigations.
There is one
King, one
Assassin, and the remainder of the players are
Guards who are all told the identity of the
King.
The
Assassin has one kill that they can use at any time during the game, typically immediately upon being lynched. Their goal is to identify the
King so that they can use this kill against him. If the
Assassin successfully kills the
King, then they win, otherwise the
King and
Guards win. The
Assassin doesn't need to survive to win.
This setup differs from normal mafia in that the "town" has more information than the "mafia" does. Every
Guard that is lynched narrows the number of targets the
Assassin must consider, so the challenge for the
Guards is to find out who the
Assassin is as quickly as possible without giving away the identity of the
King.
It'll be a mini-game, in that I'll only be taking 9 players... 1 King, 1 Assassin and 7 Guards.
