The Empire Strikes Back - Empire Victory

Post by bb2112 »

Bad Guys - Empire (Wolf Contingent):

Enlarge Image
Emperor Palpatine: The Emperor did not get to where he is by being stupid. One time each night he can scan a player and discern their true identity. If he scans Mara Jade before Luke Skywalker, then Mara will permanently be an Imperial. If the Emperor scans Mara after Mara has been scanned by Luke, he will be told that he found Mara and she is a traitorous Rebel.

Enlarge Image
Darth Vader: Vader has the one time ability to use the force to choke someone to death. The choke will reveal Vader's identity. Vader has a special bond with Luke and once each night he can scan for Luke. The result of the scan will be reported either he found Luke or not.

Enlarge Image
Count Dooku: He has a presence that cannot be denied. He has the power to influence the masses. His special ability is he “may” put in a second secret vote for a lynch each day. This vote is completely independent from his public vote and can be placed even if he doesn’t have a public vote. Just PM the Mod with the secret vote and it will be placed as soon as the Mod receives it. This vote can only be used once each day and cannot be changed. If the Imperials are the “wolf” contingent, Dooku cannot place his secret vote on an Imperial.

Enlarge Image
Mara Jade: Mara at the start of this game is a citizen. Both the Emperor and Luke are looking for Mara. If she is scanned by the Emperor first, then this will give her the confirmation she needs and she will become loyal to the Empire forever. If she is scanned by Luke first, then she will be loyal to the Rebel cause. Mara will receive a PM after she has been scanned by either the Emperor or Luke and simply told that either the Emperor has scanned her or that Luke has scanned her. She will not be told the true identity of either the Emperor or Luke. If she isn't found by either, then she will remain a conflicted citizen.

Enlarge Image
Grand Moff Tarkin: During the night Tarkin can scan a player killed earlier in the game. Tarkin will be able to deduce the deceased’s identity.

Enlarge Image
Grand Admiral Thrawn: Has the ability to know how many Rebel, Citizens and Empire players are in the game. If a conversion happens, then he will be notified. He will also be notified if a Rebel or a Citizen has been killed.

Enlarge Image
Rukh: Rukh is Grand Admiral Thrawn’s personal body guard. He has a deep loyalty to the Grand Admiral. Each night he can scan for Thrawn. His scan will only reveal if it is the Grand Admiral or not. Upon a successful scan for Thrawn, Rukh will receive a PM that he has identified Thrawn. Thrawn will not know he has been found by Rukh. Once Rukh has successfully scanned Thrawn, he can give up his own life to protect Thrawn from any kill one time during the game. Rukh is also an expert assassin. Once per game he can kill one other player. His identity will immediately be revealed. If part of the “wolf” contingent, Rukh will automatically know Thrawn’s identity if Thrawn is in the game.

Enlarge Image
Jabba the Hutt: Jabba wants Han Solo. He wants Han bad. Not in a gay way, but in a Han owes him a lot of money kind of a way. If Jabba is part of a successful lynch or night kill of Solo, he gets one free scan.

Enlarge Image
Boba Fett: Boba may protect one player from a lynch one time in the game. This protection has a 30% chance of revealing his identity. If he is protecting himself, there is a 100% chance of revealing his identity. If the protection is successful, day will immediately turn to night. Boba's PM to the mod on the protection must occur before the final vote. Once the final vote is cast, the lynch will occur.

Enlarge Image
Joruus C'baoth: Insane Jedi Master. He has tentatively aligned himself with the Empire. If his vote is part of a lynch of an Imperial personality, then he will receive a free scan.

Enlarge Image
Cad Bane: Cad is a bounty hunter of galactic reknown. He is crafty and he can disable players special powers 3 times per game. This can occur day or night. If he targets Qui-Gon Jinn, or the target of Qui-Gon’s protection, the protection fails.

Enlarge Image
Ventress: Each night Ventress can scan a player to get the player’s alignment. The answer from the mod will be Imperial or Rebel. Citizens will show up as Rebels, and Guards will show up as Imperials.

Enlarge Image
General Grievous: Upon a successful lynch of a Jedi (Luke Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda, Qui-Gon Jinn), Grievous gets a free scan. If a Jedi is killed by any means, Grievous will be told his identity.

Enlarge Image
Darth Maul: Once in the game, during the day cycle, Darth Maul can detonate a personal explosive device, taking himself, and one other target, out with him.

Enlarge Image
Nute Gunray: He can avoid a lynch once per game. He can also avoid a night kill once per game. If the subject of his first lynch, the day will immediately turn to night. If night, the rest of the night actions happen as normal, and the Rebels will be told the failure was due to their target hiding.

Enlarge Image
Greedo: Greedo has a gun and is not afraid to use it. The only question is will he get to use it before someone else blasts him to bits. Greedo can only use the gun once during the game and only during the day. Greedo's shot will reveal his identity. Greedo cannot kill Han. If Greedo tries to shoot Han, Greedo will die instead.


Citizens: You were in the wrong place at the wrong time. You are considered part of the Rebel team for this game.

Good Guys - Rebels (Village Contingent):

Enlarge Image
Luke Skywalker: Luke has a special bond with Darth Vader. He also has one with Mara Jade. Once per night he can scan one player and try to find either Vader or Mara. If he finds Vader, he will simply be told if he found Vader. If he finds Mara before the Emperor, he will be told that he has convinced her to join the Rebel cause. Mara can then join the Rebel Forum. If he finds Mara after the Emperor, he will be told her identity, but that she has resisted the temptation to switch allegiances. All other scans will read as not Vader and not Mara.

Enlarge Image
Leia Organa: Leia has a stun bot the size of a syringe hidden somewhere on her body. Use your imagination. During the day, one time this game, she can program the bot to fly in and stun one person without revealing her identity. That person will be silenced for the day and the following night, but will wake up the following day cycle. If part of the “Wolf” contingent, she cannot use this ability on any of the Rebel forces.

Enlarge Image
Obi-Wan Kenobi: Obi-Wan can scan a recently deceased player each night. The player would have had to been killed either the day before or during the current night. He will deduce the identity of his target.

Image
Han Solo: Han can block a protection once per game from any player that has the protection ability. To initiate the block, he just PM’s the Mod the name of the person he wants to block and the block is automatic. In the case of Qui-Gon’s protection, Han can block either Qui-Gon, or Qui-Gon’s chosen to be protected. The block will cancel the protection in either case. For all others, he has to block the protector. Greedo cannot kill Han. If Greedo tries to shoot Han, Han will kill Greedo instead. If Han kills Greedo in this fashion, Han's identitiy will be revealed.

Enlarge Image
Lando Calrissian: Lando is a crafty bastard. If he is about to be lynched, one time during the game he can use his special ability to escape the lynch. The day will proceed to night and there will be no lynch that day.

Enlarge Image
Chewbacca: He can go all Wookie on someone’s ass and tear them limb from limb. What do you expect? He is a Wookie. This will reveal his identity. If part of the “Wolf” contingent, he cannot tear apart a rebel.

Enlarge Image
Yoda: Yoda speaks with wisdom and the masses cannot help but be swayed by his calm intelligent rationale. Yoda has an extra secret vote that he “may” use each day for a lynch. This vote is completely independent from his public vote and can be placed even if he hasn’t placed a public vote. Just PM the Mod with the secret vote and it will be placed as soon as the Mod receives it. This vote can only be used once each day and cannot be changed. If the Rebels are the “wolf” contingent, Yoda cannot place his secret vote on a Rebel.

Enlarge Image
Talon Karrde: Karrde is a master of figuring out secrets from small scraps of information. Each night Karrde can scan one player and deduce the player’s identity.

Enlarge Image
R2D2: Can adjust the vote counting computers by adding 3 lynch votes to one player one time during the game. This vote, once cast cannot be changed. There has to be at least 7 players left in the game for R2 to use his votes. Players will not be notified the extra votes have been placed. This use will not reveal R2D2’s identity.

Enlarge Image
C3PO: Has the ability to know how many Rebel, Neutral and Empire players are in the game. Each day he can ask if a certain role started the game. He will receive a yes/no answer. If a conversion happens, then he will be notified.

Enlarge Image
Admiral Ackbar: If the Admiral is about to be lynched, he can PM the moderator. The moderator will then declare Admiral Ackbar’s identity. Admiral Ackbar also has a secret agenda that will be PM’d to him at the beginning of the game.

Enlarge Image
Wedge Antilles: Wedge has great instincts and is hard to kill. Wedge can avoid a night kill once per game. Empire will be told that their victim could not be found.

Enlarge Image
Garm Bel Iblis: Every time he is on a successful lynch of an Empire player, he can PM the moderator a yes/no question. He can ask how many Empire, Rebel, or Other players are in the game. He can also ask about specific players if they are specific roles. He cannot ask if a player is a Rebel or an Empire player.

Enlarge Image
Qui-Gon Jinn: Selects someone to protect at night. If that person is selected for a night kill, then the kill is blocked. Qui-Gon and the Imperials will be told that the kill was blocked. Qui-Gon’s identity will not be revealed. The protected person cannot be the target of a lynch the following day. If a lynch is attempted on the protected, it fails and it goes to night. Players will be told the lynch was blocked, Qui-Gon’s identity will be revealed. If an instant kill is attempted on the protected person, it can only be carried out if the person giving the kill order knows the victim’s identity. Otherwise the kill will fail and the players will be informed of the protection. Qui-Gon’s identity will be revealed. Qui-Gon cannot protect the same person two nights in a row.


Enlarge Image
Mon Mothma: The only role to be guaranteed in this game. She can nobly sacrifice herself to block a night kill. Instead of the intended target dying, Mon Mothma will die instead. This sacrifice overrides any protection that may be on Mon Mothma. Players will be told of Mon Mothma's sacrifice, and the victim of the foiled night kill will be identified to the group.

FAQ

1. Roles are random, except for Mon Mothma. She is guaranteed to be in this game.
2. The number of roles for both Empire and Rebel will depend on the number of players, plus or minus one. How the base number is determined is secret.
3. There is an order to night happenings. I will post that before the game starts. Since Luke is starting on the "Village" contingent, his scan will come before Vader's. There are no guarantees on roles except for Mon Mothma.
4. There will be deadlines. If the deadline passes and there is no lynch, it will go to night.
5. Yes, there are plain villagers. They are called Citizens in this game. In the powers I might have stated them as Neutral so I can have either the Empire or the Rebellion as the "Wolf" contingent and not have to change the descriptions every time. The Citizens (or Neutral members) in this game are sided with the Rebellion.
6. All personalities have powers, they just vary in usefulness.
7. Role groupings. Nope. Random. Jabba the Hutt could be useful, or a whole lot of dead weight.

Flavor Text - Not Necessary to Read - Read at Your Own Peril

Unprepared for the wide spread chaos the Rebel’s victory had caused throughout the galaxy, the leaders of the Rebellion meet in a secret underground bunker on Coruscant.

Mon Mothma looked out at the faces of her most trusted advisors and wearily drew in a breath. “I know this is not what we expected. We thought by taking down the leaders of the Empire, we could step into their shoes with time to dismantle the old government and replace it with something more palatable to the people. We underestimated the spite of the Emperor.”

“Anticipated this outcome I should have,” Yoda whispered in a quiet, sad voice.

“No, old friend, I should have anticipated this, but I am not sure how. Who could possibly imagine how twisted the Emperor would be in defeat?” Mon Mothma choked back an almost sob. “Nobody but the Emperor would be evil enough to have left standing orders to assassinate most of the heads of state, key members of the Intergalactic Banking Network, and the fleet admirals if he should happen to be defeated. It is madness.” Each of her team thought with horror how quickly the Empire had splintered apart. The galactic banking system had collapsed, whole fleets were missing and unaccounted for, petty Warlords have sprung up all over the galaxy, and countless systems had gone to war for a variety of reasons: over resources, to settle old scores, or flat out domination. Adding to the chaos was the fact that most of the important core worlds had been plunged into civil war when their leaders, and sometimes their whole families, were felled by assassins. Millions of people, perhaps billions, were dying every day in the power vacuum left by the collapse of the Empire.

Overwhelmed with guilt and grief at the bitter victory, Garm Bel Iblis jumped up and pointed his finger angrily at Mon Mothma. “This is your doing! We followed you, and now things are worse than ever! I cannot believe I was party to the chaos and destruction now stretching across the galaxy as we waste our time here talking. At least with the Emperor running things, there was structure and law! Now we have nothing!”

Leia Organa, face red with rage, jumped up to shout him down. “That’s not fair! None of us saw this coming! Not even you, Garm! Not even Yoda, who is sensitive to these types of happenings. You cannot lay all the blame on her.”

Mon Mothma gave a tired, sad smile and held up her hand asking for calm before Garm could retort. “He is right child. It is my fault. It is my actions that have brought these events to pass. However,” she slowly turned to each of the people seated in the room and fixed them with her most determined stare, “we can degenerate into a bunch squabbling tauntauns, or we can find a way out of this impossible situation. We all have to make our choices. Are we going to pull together and work to bring the galaxy back under order, or are we going to sabotage the efforts of the people gathered here to do just that? We have a very small window of opportunity to pick up the pieces of the current government, and to set up a new one. The longer we wait, the more entrenched the new Warlords will become. The more people will starve. The more murders will occur. I, for one, am not going to let that happen without a fight.”

Looking around at the fatigued faces, Mon Mothma almost broke. I have asked so much of these people, she thought, and now I have to ask more. How could any of them stand to go on, but how would they be able to live with themselves if they didn’t? We have come too far to stop now.

“It is late. We are all exhausted. I want each of you to go to your rooms and think about what has been said here today. If you can’t be part of the solution, then I want you to leave and not be here in the morning. If you do show up tomorrow, then be ready to work. This galaxy is not going to fix itself. It is up to those of us with the resolve to do it.”

Slowly, everyone got up and started shuffling towards the doors leading to their sleeping chambers. Mon Mothma watched them go, and wondered sadly how many of them would be back in the morning.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Mon Mothma awoke to an explosion that shook her room. She jumped out of bed as alarm claxons started blaring through the complex. She hurriedly threw on her clothes, only to fall down as an even larger explosion rocked the floor from underneath her. She ran to her personal console and jabbed the button to central control.

“Control here.”

“Report.”

“I’m sorry, ma’am, I’m afraid I don’t know what is going on. All communications outside the bunker have been cut off.” Mon Mothma could hear the near panic in the young man’s voice.

“I am going to make my way to the main conference area to meet with the other leaders. Contact them in their rooms and tell them to meet me there. I want an update every ten minutes.”

“Yes, ma’am. Control out.”

Mon Mothma ran out the door towards the conference area where she had met with the other Rebel leaders only a few hours earlier. Then she heard a slow rumble coming from somewhere far above her. It built and built in intensity until the whole hallway started shaking and the sound became deafening. She fell to her knees, unable to keep her balance and looked toward the ceiling, convinced it was going to cave in any second and trap her under tons of rock and steel. Tall buildings surrounded the bunker area; to have an explosion of that magnitude, it meant there was probably a structural collapse somewhere above and buildings were raining down. Finally after a few minutes of intense shaking, the rumbling started to subside. Just when it seemed like the worst of it was over, the lights went out and the hallway was plunged into darkness.

Mon Mothma slowly climbed to her feat, clutching at the nearest wall and made her way carefully down the pitch black corridor. After what seemed like an eternity, but in reality was only a couple of minutes, the emergency backup generators finally kicked in and the lights flickered on. A thick white smoke started pouring through the vents and she began to choke. Gagging and coughing, she slowly staggered forward. I have to get to the conference area, I have to get to the conference area, she kept thinking over and over again as her mind slowly turned to mush. That one thought driving her, giving her purpose.

Time seemed to slowly shift and whirl around while she gradually made her way. She had no idea how long it took her to finally reach the outer doors to the conference area, but she almost cried out with relief as the doors opened before her. With her eyes streaming tears due to the acrid smoke, she could just make out other dim forms struggling to reach the conference rooms as well. Once inside, her goal reached, she collapsed unconscious.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Mon Mothma awoke to a shake on the shoulder. “Wake up. We are gathering for a meeting at the table.” Mon Mothma shook her head, trying to clear it of the fog. The last thing she remembered was the smoke. The choking, foul smelling, smoke. But the air was clear now. She watched the gentleman who woke her go to the next person on the floor and wake him up in the same manner as she had been summoned. Groggily she made her way to the table. Sure seems like a lot of people she thought. She watched as an impatient man stood up and cleared his throat, clearly demanding silence from the gathered crowd.

“Here is our situation,” he stated flatly, “we are trapped. There must have been some kind of explosion on the surface and at least one building has collapsed on top of us. I have explored the halls leading to the turbo lift and the roof caved in blocking our only way out. Also, the halls leading to the guard rooms and sleeping chambers have been cut off. There could be survivors on the other side, but the debris is too heavy to lift without machinery. Now we all know this is Coruscant, and buildings just don’t fall down. This had to be an attack of some sort. Either a bomb or some kind of orbital bombardment. Considering that we are still alive, an orbital bombardment is unlikely. Therefore, I believe it was sabotage.” Mon Mothma looked around. Everyone was hanging on every word. He was obviously some kind of born leader. ”So now the question becomes, was this done as a political protest with someone trying to make a statement, or was this done in an effort to kill the Rebel leadership gathered here?”

“The gas!” someone shouted from the back. “Is that why I can’t seem to remember any of you people?” Mon Mothma looked around in surprise; she did not recognize a single other person either. This is not good, her brain screamed at her.

“Yes, the gas,” the first man answered calmly. “This is what I think as well. I believe the gas that poured in here was the very same gas used to kill or capture some of the elite Imperials and topple the Empire. It is the only thing that makes sense. For those who don’t know the purpose of the gas, it attacks the memory centers of the brain. It sedates the portion of the brain that focuses on facial, body and voice recognition. I’m afraid in this state, you would probably not even recognize your own mother.”

“But why not use a bomb? Or a more deadly gas? Why just make us forget?” Called out someone to Mon Mothma’s left.

“Great questions,” said the man. “The only thing I can think of is that the Empire wanted to know who was killed, and who may still be at large of the Rebellion leadership. Otherwise your suggestion of a bomb would seem to be much more logical. Now I have a couple of other questions before we try to sort out who is who down here and the best way to get out. First, why trigger the building collapse before the mission was completed? Was it to trap us all inside? Highly unlikely. If they were using a strike team, then they would have to get out. Was it to just have the building collapse on us and kill us? Again, unlikely. As you can see, too much chance we would survive. Also, why use the gas then? The only logical explanation is that the building collapse was to be used after their mission was complete to help cover their escape. Something must have gone wrong and the building collapsed before it was supposed to. Now comes the most interesting question. Are the Imperials here? Can they be standing among us right now? Or did the building collapse prevent them from making it here?” Just as he was finishing his last sentence, a buzzing sound came flying overhead. A metal object flew with incredible speed and stopped right in front of the man’s face. Before anyone could react, it shot out a blue bolt into his forehead, leaving a smoking hole about an inch in diameter. The man’s eyes rolled back into his head and he collapsed.

The gentleman to the man’s right jumped up and quickly checked for a pulse and signs of breath. “He’s dead,” he announced. “I guess that answers his last question. At least one assassin has made it here. Did anyone see where the bot came from?”

Everyone just shook their heads in shock.

It is now Day 1.

A couple of questions:
31 roles, but no plain wolfs/villagers, correct?
Are there any role groupings, such that the inclusion of Role A guarantees the existance of Role B (C/D/E...)?


So, we've all got memory problems huh?

This is Emperor Palpatine. My plan is going perfectly. I need to know all available Imperial resources currently available to me. Step forward and sound off now!

So redrun is saying either "Hey empire, guess/figure out if I'm worth killing right away" or "I'm empire." Great.

Yes, there are plain villagers. They are called Citizens in this game. In the powers I might have state them as Neutral so I can have either the Empire or the Rebellion as the "Wolf" contingent and not have to change the descriptions every time. The Citizens (or Neutral members) in this game are sided with the Rebellion.

All personalities have powers, they just vary in usefulness.

Role groupings. Nope. Random. Jabba the Hutt could be useful, or a whole lot of dead weight.

With the possibility of secret votes from multiple people on both sides, this will be even more fun. Looking forward to the next Chaosraven WTF moment.
