The year is 1776, and the 13 British colonies are tired of being under British Rule and have called together the Continental Congress to discuss the grievances with their king across the sea. 3 people from each state are represented and a brash lawyer from Massachusetts named John Adams calls for a vote on Independence, though the idea is not as well accepted as he hoped. Worse, there are Loyalists infiltrating the Congress that will stop at nothing to make sure the idea of Independence will never make it outside of these doors in Philadelphia.
RULES:
There will be 17 players, no more, no less.
The game will then proceed to the First Night.
The Roles:
1 President of the Congress: Has extra information on all of the representatives, finds out the allegiance of one Congressman each night
4 Loyalists: Will stop at nothing to make sure Independence is never reached, removes one Congressman per night.
12 Congressional Representatives: Members of the Congress who wish for Independence, will vote to remove someone from the Congress
Deadlines for votes and hunts is 21:00 GMT – (PLEASE CONVERT THIS TO YOUR OWN TIME ZONE IMMEDIATELY TO AVOID FUTURE CONFUSION). A vote at 20:59 will count, whereas a vote at 21:00 will not.
Game starts with a nocturnal deadline.
Winning:
The Tourists win by eliminating the Berbers. The Berbers win by reaching parity with the Tourists, they will overpower you, and they'll probably feed you to some mountain lions too, who knows...
