Posts from The Tudors

The public and secret lives of the representatives of the Tudor dynasty — a contradictory period in the life of England. Prosperity and ruin, the wisdom of kings and the despotism of tyrants, hidden aspects of the lives of the greatest figures of that time…

Rules:

1. Mage Guild – Zybr. Ask all game-related questions via ICQ, Skype, PM, or write in this thread. But only before the start of the first day.

The first day lasts until 17:00 18.07 MSK.
The second night lasts from 17:00 18.07 to 10:00 19.07 MSK.
Thereafter, days last from 10:00 to 22:00, and nights from 22:00 to 10:00.
You may write during the night.

2. Total non-private mode. Private correspondence is permitted only for members of the mafia. Discussion of the game outside the thread is permitted only for the mafia.

3. It is permitted to reveal your own and others' roles without any restrictions. The mafia may use all types of their night actions (NA) simultaneously, but only the lowest-ranking member must perform the kill.
Thus, the order of "Kill" NA for the mafia is as follows:
1) George Boleyn
2) Duke of Norfolk
3) Thomas Boleyn

4. An eliminated player remains silent about the game until the end. They have no right to write in the game thread, in public areas, or to anyone via PM regarding their role. Likewise, remaining participants have no right to write to them about what roles they possess. All discussions of roles are possible only between eliminated participants.

5. Player roles are revealed upon their kill/execution until only 10 participants remain in the city. At 10 or fewer — all roles remain hidden. Exception: a bloody murder by the maniac or the doctor's serum.

6. Each participant must cast a vote either against a specific player or in defense. For this, we use colors: red - against, blue – for.
A red vote counts as "- 1" for the chosen player, and a blue one as " + 1". A participant who does not vote receives "–2" against themselves during the vote count. A player deprived of their vote due to the action of some role does not receive "-2" against themselves.
Votes can be changed any number of times. Cancellation of a vote is not necessary — the new option is taken into account immediately. Only the last vote counts.

7. If a participant is absent from the forum for more than 24 hours for any reason, or appears on the forum but writes nothing in the game thread, the participant is replaced by another, with full transfer of the role. If replacement is impossible, a modkill is performed.

8. If a player uses a screenshot of a private message received from the moderator to prove their role, the side that player plays for automatically loses.
Accusations based on activity in PMs, etc., are prohibited. Punishable by modkill.

9. You may write in the thread both at night and during the day.

10. Game without immunities.

Game Nuances:

1. The King's Block is executed by Cromwell; the king himself performs no night actions. With the death of either person in this pair, the block is lost.

2. The Block protects against all NA except bloody murder. In the case of such a murder, Cromwell dies along with the victim.

3. Brandon kills only the target named to him by the revealed king (indicates privately; writing about the order in the thread is forbidden). If the king dies, Brandon loses his NA.

4. The maniac does not switch to the city's side if Anne is executed during the day.

5. Bloody murder reveals the victim's role

6. Mafia intimidation works only on one chosen target and can be used only once every 2 nights.

Role Descriptions:

Supporters of the King:

Henry VIII

The most famous English monarch. Henry was so concerned that his memory would live on. But to posterity, he is remembered not for the grand achievements he so desired to accomplish, but for his turbulent personal life. It seems only Ivan the Terrible surpassed him in number of wives.

Specialties - double red vote; once per game can insist on a player's execution, but thereby reveals himself (does not lose the double vote).

NA - blocking a player (protects from all night effects except bloody murder)


Catherine of Aragon

A royal daughter, wife of the king and mother of a queen. A woman for whom duty was the most important thing in life. Therefore, she convinces herself (and Henry) that she loves her husband despite all the suffering he caused her. For that is what duty commands. She knows how to be strong. She is supported by her fortress — her religion. The Queen always looks back to Rome. And if the Pope recognized her marriage as legal, then so it is.

Specialties - visiting the king, she learns his role

NA - status check

Thomas Cromwell

An ambiguous personality. If Cardinal Wolsey developed England's policy and then convinced Henry that these were his own ideas, then Cromwell is a obedient executor of Henry's orders. Only Thomas was somewhat mistaken about the scale of executing those orders.

Specialty - executes the king's NA.

NA - none of their own

Thomas Wolsey

Henry's advisor, a subtle politician and diplomat. For a long time, he maintained the balance of power in Europe well and promoted enlightenment in England. Well, of course, he started a family despite celibacy and put some money in his own pocket.

NA - tracks a player (sees the killer if tracking the victim or the killer)

Sir Thomas More

A brilliant scholar, humanist and, at the same time, a deeply religious man. He could not silence the voice of his conscience and openly expressed his views. Unfortunately, during the reign of Henry VIII, this was a direct path to the scaffold.

Specialties - triple blue vote

NA1 - Truth Serum - reveals the target's role in the newspaper. Probability of revealing the doctor's own role is 50%. Once every 2 nights.
NA2 - Healing. Can heal either a specific person or the victim of a specific role (i.e., writes that they are healing the victim of the mafia/maniac/commissar/…). However, if only one negative side remains in the city (mafia/maniac etc.), or roles are no longer revealed (fewer than 10 players), the doctor loses the ability to heal a role's victim.

Thomas Cranmer

Archbishop of Canterbury - head of the Anglican Church. A Protestant and an ardent supporter of reforms in the spiritual sphere. Not as pious as he wants to seem. Greedy, vain and cunning. A careerist. Therefore, for everything he achieved, he thanks the king and is ready to serve his interests.

Charles Brandon

Henry's closest friend. A doubting man who constantly has to choose between his own conscience and the will of the king. But since Charles Brandon was a man of his time, he always chose the latter.

Specialty - On the day following the revelation of the king, he can carry out his orders to eliminate enemies of the crown. Until that moment, he cannot kill.

NA - murder

Thomas Wyatt

A court poet and playboy. A lover of drunken feasts and merry amusements. Such a lifestyle excludes any concern for state affairs. By nature, he is also reluctant to engage in court intrigues, but follows Anne Boleyn.

Specialties - when killed, his role is always revealed, and the killer receives an excuse from execution. Cannot vote against Anne.

Conspirators:

Thomas Boleyn

An ambitious and cunning opportunist. He is ready for anything to achieve a high position and maintain it. Even sending his own children to their deaths.

NA1 - murder of a chosen player
NA2 - intimidation of a player

Duke of Norfolk

Uncle of George and Anne Boleyn. A respected man at court, holding high state and military posts. Encourages the king's relationship with his niece, striving in every way to facilitate their marriage. Thanks to his authority, he succeeds reasonably well.

NA1 - murder of a chosen player
NA2 - intimidation of a chosen player

George Boleyn

An ordinary fool who got hold of power and privileges. A toy in the hands of his father. Embodies his cunning intrigues and conspiracies in the interests of the Boleyn family.

NA - murder of a chosen player

Anne Boleyn

The most vivid personality in the series of Henry VIII's wives. Intelligent, proud, power-hungry. She believes in her lucky star: she will manage to become queen. The crown will adorn her proud head.

Specialties - if she and the king voted for different players, she nullifies his double vote (makes it ordinary). Does not work if the king voted against her.

NA - excuses a player from execution

Maniac:

William Brereton

A champion of the Catholic faith, a true madman. He scourges himself in fits of religious fanaticism so that the love and help of the Lord do not leave him in his cause. And his main goal is to behead Anne Boleyn! To get to her, he is ready to kill everyone who stands in his way.

Specialties - if he kills Anne, he switches to the city's side and loses NA.

NA1 - ordinary murder
NA2 - bloody murder

Special thanks to Tanyushka aka Pandora for the idea and help in developing the setting!

A question for future participants: Should the Mafia preserve the ranking system, or can anyone with a Night Killer role eliminate members at night, or should George be the initial killer, followed by Norfolk, and then only Thomas?

Hmm, alright, let's play. I can't promise I'll be reasonable, but I'll try to be nice.

Added after 47 seconds
7 come on, let's go.

I'm signing up. 5.
What are the special abilities and stats of Thomas Cranmer?

Number 10 for me, please!
What's the status? Are there any notes?

What are Thomas Cranmer's special abilities and stats?

None.
In general, if it's not specified, it simply doesn't exist.

What is the status? Are there any notes?

Statuses are "maf" and "not maf." There are no notes.

How does Thomas Cromwell's Non-Disclosure Agreement work?

The setting is overloaded with Thomases; it’s time to change the name!

How does Thomas Cromwell's Non-Aggression Pact work?

It blocks the player, but doesn't target a specific unit. Instead, it holds them accountable for the consequences.

And if Thomas dies, will the King act on his own?

What if Thomas dies? Will the King act on his own?

No, probably not.

First, please, after me.

First, please protect me.

There's no immunity, but if someone kills me on the first night, I'll mercilessly take revenge later. :)

You have a very cute avatar, so no one is afraid of you:D

There is no immunity, but if someone kills in the first night, I will relentlessly take revenge.

Will you "jailkill" the murderer, depriving him of his alignment for three nights and his right to vote for three days?
