This game will likely be run in 3rd party forum (some other NDIM forum) with reminders put here and GLB. This will be a joint GLB/FE production For those who took part in the original Kyoto Song at GLB, I have made some modifications to the ninja role and have added some of the roles I thought of but didn't have enough people to include. I will also be starting the game with a glossary and background of feudal Japan to help those who don't know much about the era (or the fantasy of the era) beyond "ninjas sneak around and kill shit".
The year is 1598. It has been a year since the puppet shogun, Ashikaga Yoshiaki, has died. Japan/Nihon has been torn by bitter fighting amongst the daimyos, the regional lords who battle and scheme in the power vacuum left in the wake of Yoshiaki's death. Amongst these daimyos, three have risen to vie for the role of shogun, the ultimate military dictator of all Japan: Toronaga, Tozama, and Yamasu. Each of these three daimyos recruits amongst the peasantry to fortify their samurai army with ashigaru footsoldiers, with some adopting the new gunpowder weapons.
You will help decide the fate of Nihon. By battle and by guile, you will work to prop up your daimyo while eliminating your enemies. Or maybe you will be standing to the side, trying to survive in the chaos of war?
Notes: This game will involve customized roles, recruiting, surprise attacks, a mercenary ninja role, and even the "VTs" will have optional night actions (the peasants are revolting, after all).
The "alignments" in this game are not traditional scum vs town. Instead, a peasant may find himself conscripted into a daimyo's army, only to be free of his control when the daimyo is killed. The daimyos, and those allied with them, only win if they are the final surviving daimyo. Many of the rest of you win only if you survive to this endgame point.
Days will be 48 hours with 24 hour nights. Weekends will count as "24 hours" (meaning that a day phase starting Friday would end Monday, Friday to Sunday being half, then Sunday to Monday being the other half). There will be no plurality, since it forces differing sides to have to work together to eliminate opponents, providing additional information to their opponents. There will be at least one round of Night 0 recruiting.
The game will start in a week or two, depending on how long it takes people to sign up. The sign up thread will be at GLB and FE. If run at a 3rd party forum, everyone will be aliased.

As a side note: Most of the roles I created for this game involve a lot of WIFOM decisions each night. For example, the daimyo (or "lord" of each clan) can be protected each night (similar to a doc) but if he chooses to recruit, he is unable to be protected that night, exposing himself to possible attack. Samurai can either attack at night or protect like a doctor, but if they attack a "protected" individual, then their identity is exposed.
Lots of decisions like that are built into many of the roles. Win conditions also can change throughout the game, especially if recruited or if your current daimyo you are serving is killed.

Also- a quick reminder: If you want to play but do *not* want to be identified on the players list, just shoot me a PM.

It will vary, since the win conditions are different from traditional mafia. We start with three daimyos all vying for shogun- the game ends when at least two of the daimyos are dead. Our first run ended in a couple of days because the daimyos identified themselves and got killed pretty quickly, leaving only one standing. With a larger group and with aliases, it will be harder to identify who are the daimyos, so I figure the game could take a few weeks of play minimum. A lot of it will depend on player decisions- each clan has at least one killing role, plus the ninja is out there, so there could be possible bloodbaths on each night action, but those killers can defend instead and there are players with other defensive actions.
