Once Upon A Time...
A Fairy-Tale inspired Mafia
STORY

"Wh... what is happening?" The grand seer thought aloud as a layer of peculiar dust floated in to the city. As the town hall clock struck midnight a strange glitter descended as a result of the magical wind drifting through the calm, sleeping city. The seer was on high alert, his hands clenched tightly around one another. Attendants already woken, they buried themselves in the libraries, researching and recording the phenomena. It wasn't until four hours afterwards however that a discovery was made.

"They're missing..." The grand seer murmured, flicking through the first book in one of many piles. True to his disciples’ words, the Rumpelstiltskin book had changed, quite drastically in fact, as the riddler himself had vanished.

This was not good news for the city. "How many have we found so far?" He asked, sifting through the pile at the desk; “Ten, maybe more?” The king had to be warned, something fishy was happening in the Royal Capital.

The morning followed not long after, with little else being found. The seers were busy cataloging the missing characters, list after list forming with no real understanding. It wasn't until an urgent message arrived at the castle that the pieces of the puzzle fell into place.

"S-sir, this was engraved into the church bell!"

Magic is brilliant, magic is powerful... but all magic has a price.
The royal seers, the King's most trusted and loyal servants, informed him of the coming darkness. Fearing for his own life, the King had sealed the gates to his kingdom as well as his castle; locking himself away with only his trusted swordsman and seers, all of whom had access to the castle.

"Rid my city of these evil pests! Whomever can save our city will be rewarded riches beyond their wildest dreams!" The King had commanded his people. However, not only the innocents had heard his plea. Gaining the King's trust was a prize that anyone would want - the power, the influence and the glory...


Rules

All PokéCommunity rules apply
Each player gets one vote per day phase, which may be changed anytime before the phase ends, which is normally after forty-eight hours have passed. This vote should be written in the format: [Lynch] <player>. It may be ignored otherwise.
No private messaging may take place outside the GM-controlled skype groups.
Any discussion of the game should be kept in this thread.
You may post once after your death, as long as you do not give away any player roles (including your own).
Posting during the night phase will result in your immediate death.
Night actions should be sent to me by PM within 24 hours of the night phase starting.


ROLES

Unaffiliated:


Spoiler:
Rumpelstiltskin - [NA] Presents a riddle for the masses to answer every day. If answered correctly, a prize is given - if nobody answers correctly Rumpelstiltskin gets to keep it for himself.
The Lady of the Lake - [NA] Chooses a player to pledge herself to and join their side.
One secret role.


Innocents:


Spoiler:
The Beast - If targeted by a night action the effect is reflected on to the user.
The Angel - [NA] Every other night The Angel may investigate one of the dead.
The Fairy King - [NA] May choose an individual, if they are one of the innocent then a Skype conversation may be started.
The Glass Slipper - Becomes empowered on the death of The Evil Step-Mother.
The Knight - [NA] May choose an individual to protect from harm.
Townspeople - Clueless, innocent townsfolk who have no night actions or abilities, yet....
Two secret roles.


Evildoers:


Spoiler:
Once per night the Evildoers will PM a [kill] vote to The Mystic. The individual with the most votes will be lynched, with the latest PM acting as a tie breaker.

On [Day 3] all remaining Evildoers will gain communication rights.

The Wolf - [NA] Can kill a target once per night. If the Wolf is successfully blocked from his prey then he will die.
The Dragon - Any day phase vote is counted more than once.
The Troll - [NA] Block the night action of any player.
The Evil Step-Mother - Becomes empowered on the death of The Glass Slipper.
The Sorceress - [NA] Can change a player's alignment every night.
One secret role.



Game Mechanics

Rumpelstiltskin's Gift
For completing a riddle of Rumpel's successfully, you will receive a reward. This reward is picked by the dark one himself, prior to the riddle going public. All potions give power to the person receiving it - whether it's gaining immunity, knowledge or a new ability. Of course, if nobody gets the riddle in time Rumpelstiltskin will just use it himself...

Poison Apple
If you fail to make a vote during the day phase you will receive a poison apple. This will ensure your death if you fail to vote on the next day. If you manage to vote then the poison apple will disappear or at least not kill you.

- Midnight City is pretty much on Hiatus
- Few other games are moving slowly

Thus we decided that we allow the next game to come along to hopefully boost activity.

:D?
