A new game has started, and a group of new players of Paradox games are learning their way around the complex interface and sporadic game-breaking bugs. The goal? To make the font of your country as big as possible on the world map. However, some break with established orthodoxy, using the game to create horrors that even Lovecraft couldn't fathom. These are the border gore enthusiasts, and they must be stopped before they splatter the world with their disgusting border gore.
Basic Rules
There will be seventeen (17) players. No more, no less. Alright, possibly yes, but that's a special case. Roles will be handed out after the last player has signed up.
The game will start with a night deadline. After this, every subsequent update will cover the following day and night.
During the day, the goal of the Map Painters is to kill the person most likely to be a Border Gore Enthusiasts. At night, the Border Gore Enthusiasts will in turn choose someone to kill. The Map Painters may choose to tie multiple people, who will both be killed if successfully tied.
The Border Gore Enthusiasts win by reaching parity with the combined forces of the Map Painters and the World Conquest Auteurs. The Map Painters win by successfully killing all of the Border Gore Enthusiasts.
Roles
3 x World Conquest Auteurs (Inquisitor) *NEW ROLE* - The truly great map painters who are able to paint their canvas one colour. Each night, the auteur has a 50% chance of being given the name of a random villager. The auteur may get the same name twice. If there are no valid targets for the auteur's scan, they will be told.
10 x Map Painter (Villager) - Simple Map Painters looking to avoid the failings of the Border Gore Enthusiasts.
4 x Border Gore Enthusiast - Map painters who have decided to neglect clean borders and instead use the forbidden technique of border gore. They may choose to kill a single target every night.
