Social Strategy Game

I decided to try to see if anyone would like to play a very simple social strategy game, called Council.

There are a number of players who will form groups/alliances with members in order to eliminate other players one by one. Every day, depending on the number of players 1-3 people must be eliminated by being voted out, one person is safe from voting by random. When 1-3 people remain, a panel of previously eliminated players will vote on who they think played the game the best.

The point of the game is to eliminate people down the last few, preferably by eliminating strategic threats. Feel free to lie, cheat, and manipulate. No alliance is 100% guaranteed! Basically, it's Mafia and Survivor put together, but simplified.

Sign-Ups
1. blackmage_nuke
2. Jiro
3. Goldenboko
4. Timekeeper
5. Garnie
6. Demon Dude
7. Caraliz
8. DarkBahamut
9.
10.

RULES
1. Those safe from vote are unvotable.
2. You can PM your vote for certain members at any point in a day phase, but only once and all votes are final. In the case of a tie, three randomly assigned voters may revote after the players state their case.
3. Lying and manipulating is not only allowed, but encouraged.
4. Do not sign up if you will be inactive, mean, or immature.
5. Have fun, and once you are gone, you're gone!

Questions? Ask them!

I actually wanted to join but i wanted someone else to join first so i could be like "Yea whatever" as part of my cunning strategy

It does sound like fun, but I'll be away for a week. I doubt I'd be sly enough for such a thing anyway...

Jiro and Timekeeper are in cahoots! Theyre joining up together IRL to better their chances of winning the game!

We copped this in Mafia, geez xD

We actually have a pretty fierce rivalry going on, so while we may team up to begin with, we won't let the other win.

And if it starts in two weeks then sign me up. I should be in quarantine because of swine flu anyway, so I'll be free :D

Do we know who voted for who after every round?

Goldenboko

I guess I'll join, only so everyone can have someone to gang up against day 1.

This reminds me of Backstabbers, which was immense particularly because I orchestrated (or in the end stages, guessed accurately) every single elimination there was. :D

I approve of this contest but I don't know if I'll have the time for it so will sadly have to give it a miss this time around.

It's all strategy, but something else might happen every once in a while.

Added. I'll take at least 10, when two weeks roll by, I will take up to 20, with several double-eliminations.

This sounds a lot like a popularity contest, and I've never been very good at that. :P

It's a strategy game, popularity is an extremely childish way to play this game. :)

I guess I'll join. I've always wanted to play a game like this.

And yet, exactly how it will play out.

Sadly, that is a likely possibility.

I will be gone for the next 5 days, but when I get back, I'll start it soon, adding those who have signed up since my absence.

Well I should be properly back in town by then, so all's green for me and PrincessKeeper there :p
