It is the fourth day after Caesar's death, and once again, Rome is quiet. Maybe too quiet for comfort, even. Despite the frequent patrols of heavily armed legionaires and soldiers of the garrisson, few dare to go out at night. It seems conspiracies are brewing, soon to come out in the open. Even regular tavern brawls haven't happened in the past days, no knifings, no fights, and yet, it is hard to shake off the unease. Everyone is waiting for the massacres to begin, for the scheming to come to fruition, the same way it happened when Caesar and Pompey fought, and Marius and Sulla before them.

Will it be today, or will the uneasy peace remain between the three factions?

It is day. You have 36 hours, excluding the weekend break.
Weekend break will start at midnight CET (1.5 hours from now).

YOU MAY NOW REVEAL WITHOUT BEING MODKILLED.

Still no NKs? That is beginning to seem more and more odd.

Anyway, I'm off to bed now unfortunately. Hopefully there will be lots of cool mechanics to discuss tomorrow (especially the ones that have to be revealed to work, still curious about that).

Cheers.


Also - I reveal as... MOHINDER (someone has to)

Vote Serc


Because I still want to go after Julii, as I very much am not a part of that faction.

No, no reveal from me ... yet. Let's just say that nothing I've done at night seems to have any effect (and wouldn't have killed anyone anyways). And I have no secret information - I only know what's been said in-thread.

“Citizens of Rome,
I have a special announcement to make! Today, on the forum, the last rites will be performed for Gaius Julius Caesar. Marcus Anthonius, who has protected the body and kept vigil over it, has announced that the time has come to say farewell to this most virtuous of Romans, and guide Caesar into the embrace of the Gods. The grieving Marcus Anthonius will lead the ceremony for his former comrade in arms! Come, and pay Caesar the respect he deserves, one last time!”

When enough people have gathered, Marcus Anthonius steps up to the stage, showing Caesar’s remains and the dark brown stains where daggers struck true. The crowd howls, and the general pauses in silence, seemingly struck by grief. Then, when the cries have died down, he raises his voice, and starts the eulogy of the great leader, weaving an accusation against his opponents through it:

“Friends,
Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;
I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him; The evil that men do lives after them,
The good is oft interred with their bones, So let it be with Caesar ...

The noble Brutus Hath told you Caesar was ambitious:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault, And grievously hath Caesar answered it...

Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest,
(For Brutus is an honourable man; So are they all; all honourable men)
Come I to speak in Caesar's funeral ...
He was my friend, faithful and just to me: But Brutus says he was ambitious;
And Brutus is an honourable man….

He hath brought many captives home to Rome, Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill:
Did this in Caesar seem ambitious? When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept:
Ambition should be made of sterner stuff: Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;
And Brutus is an honourable man.

You all did see that on the Lupercal I thrice presented him a kingly crown,
Which he did thrice refuse: was this ambition? Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;
And, sure, he is an honourable man.

I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke, But here I am to speak what I do know.
You all did love him once, not without cause: What cause withholds you then to
mourn for him? O judgement! thou art fled to brutish beasts, And men have lost
their reason…. Bear with me; My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar,
And I must pause till it come back to me.”


With those words, Marcus Anthonius stands aside, hands to his sides, and the fury of the people turns against Brutus, who has no other option than to seek refuge in the senate. And the people are convinced: Brutus is not the saviour of the Republic, but the traitor who murdered a great man, and who now seeks control over Rome.
It seems Marc Anthony now firmly holds Rome in his grasp, his own enemy now an enemy of the People, too.
Many a night will have to pass before the hatred of the people will start to fade.

Mockra is Brutus, he is of the Brutii Faction.


Brutus – Brutii
You are Marcus Junius Brutus, and you are the saviour of the Roman Republic. You killed your friend, Caesar, because he was rapidly becoming a dictatorial tyrant. However, the siren song of absolute power is now rampaging through Caesar's followers, the Julii. It seems your work is not yet done. Once again, you need to convince your fellow senators that the Republic needs to be restored, and that you're the man to do it. Your opponents aren't just the Julii, though. The Pontifex is whispering of reconciliation between you and Marc Anthony, blind to the 7th Legion that Anthony is using to establish a stranglehold on Rome. Unless he is stopped now, he will conquer the city in spite of whatever treaty he signs.

Night Power: You're an influential man, and your whispers don't fall on deaf ears. Every night, you can recruit a player to your cause, making them a member of your faction. You win when your faction is the sole one remaining. Your recruited followers will learn the identity of your right hand man, Caius Cassius Longinus.


EDIT: Speech is ® by Shakespeare.

Well, since we're talking suspicions, here's a couple of mine :p

Korlat is Julii. Thought this since day 1, and it's been painfully obvious from reading his posts. Also, his answer to his own Q1 proves it.

OK, I'll step up and answer them:

1) While continuing trying to find MA does make sense - given the win conditions handicap I have a feeling MA must have some pretty awesome powers at his disposal, I am starting to become a bit concerned that we're developing some Julii tunnel vision. I'd like to see more emphasis on trying to find Brutus, and the Republican leader, assuming one exists. (Now that I think about it, everyone is going to say something along these lines, aren't they? :p )


So, Korlat is looking for a Brutii or a Republican, but not a Julii.


*sigh* I could have phrased that better, I suppose. I didn't feel comfortable with being too obviously Republican, so I covered my bases - but what I meant was that all this focus on the Julii is basically giving the Brutii a free rein, so it's probably a good idea to have a rummage for Brutus as well.

Credit me with a little tact - if that were me trying to influence everyone to stop harrassing the Julii and search elsewhere, it's an incredibly clumsy job :).

ETA: Crosspost with PS. Cicero strikes again!

Cicero is still alive, and rather obviously has the power to reveal leaders at great intervals.

The past days have been taxing, as the debate rages back and forth, and none of the factions seems able to visibly get the upper hand as alignments shift rapidly. Then, Cicero takes to the floor.

“I have developed a distaste for this floor recently,” he says with an upturned nose. “It seems one can only stand here to spew vilifying gossip on others, or glorify ones own past exploits. Should I wish to gloat then I could do so, seeing how I’m one of the most senior members of this august body. And I have no wish to drag someone through the mud. No, my fellow senators, I will speak of facts only! Still, it is not a pretty story.”

“Marc Anthony, Rome’s golden man, the flamboyant seducer of our women, and those he can’t seduce, he will buy. Marcus the Insatiable, is what the prostitutes on the Palatine call him, and well they should know. But beneath the carousing visage he presents, lies a serpent. This is the man who would have crowned Caesar as King of Rome… on whose authority but his own? Marc Anthony, the man who would have that crown for himself now. Marc Anthony, who did all he could to make Caesar’s legacy his
own. Marc Anthony, who keeps a Legion at hand to ‘keep the peace.’ Need I say more, my colleagues?”

Fener is Marc Anthony of the Julii faction.

Marcus Anthonius – Julii
You are Marc Anthony, dead Caesar's right hand and the favourite of the legions, a proud hero of Rome. Caesar's death opened the opportunity to power for yourself, and you are determined to reunite all Caesar's lapdogs behind you and grasp that power. However, not all is well. Caesars heir and nephew, young Octavianus, is determined to snatch the Julii faction for himself. He can have it… over your dead body. Before you can win, Octavianus must die.

Passive Power: you cannot be recruited by other factions.

Night Power: You're an influential man, and your whispers don't fall on deaf ears. Every night, you can recruit a player to your cause, making them a member of your faction. You win when your faction is the sole one remaining. Everyone joining your faction will learn the identity and allegiance of the man recruited before them. Should that player's allegiance have changed in the meantime, then they will learn the name of the one recruited before, etc. In case there is no-one recruited before, they will learn the name of one of the unrecruitable Julii, but, while you live, never the identity of Octavian.

Day Power: Your men hold Caesar's corpse, and through your Funeral Speech, which you can speak out once this game (message the mods to activate it), during the day, you can force Brutus into the open, exposing his identity, powers and allegiance (Brutii) to all. However, this will lead to open warfare between your faction and his, and makes his followers desperate and aggressive, increasing their abilities significantly. Use it wisely.

Only someone with this much power could make this many frittatas without breaking any eggs.
