Dies to Removal

Theros. A land ruled over by the Pantheon of immortal gods. Some kind, some fair, some violent, but together they have kept things in balance on Theros for millennia. Grudges and betrayal (and more than a little infidelity) have always been common among the gods, but the balance of power always found an equilibrium. It was that equilibrium that kept Theros stable and secure throughout its long history.

Then everything was changed by one fateful act...





Welcome to the Theros Pantheon! In this mafia game you are a god of immeasurable power. Fight to restore the balance or fight to take power for yourself, the choice is yours.

I like my games a bit more
flavour driven than most, so role names will be public. As such, you can choose one of the 13 characters when you sign-up - first come, first served. If you choose no one, one of the remaining gods will be chosen at random. The thirteen roles:

*Athreos - The divine ferryman, Athreos sails the rivers that ring the world, carrying the dead to the Underworld... and calling on griffins and demons to gather the strays.
*Ephara - God of shelter and protector of the polis Meletis, she granted the mortal people the power necessary to defeat the evil archon Agnomakhos.
*Erebos - God of the dead, Erebos was born from the first shadow cast by Heliod's light. Banished to the Underworld, he accepts his fate and rules over all things deceased.
*Heliod - God of the Sun, his presence fills the sky with light. Heliod represents law, justice, honour... and retribution.
*Iroas - God of war and
the patron of Akros, those who worship him seek honour and victory in battle.
*Karametra - God of the hearth and of agriculture, Karametra values civilization over the wilds. She is the patron god of Setessa.
*Keranos - God of storms and visions, Keranos controls the skies and can change his mood as quickly as the weather.
*Kruphix - God of prophecy and horizons, Kruphix opens the eyes of many to new mysteries and knowledge.
*Nylea - God of the hunt, Nylea tends to the wilds of Theros, often with lethal consequences for those who would threaten it.
*Pharika - God of potions and poisons, basilisks and cures, Pharika is worshipped in Setessa's Winter Nexus.
*Phenax - God of deceit and lies, Phenax is also associated with the Returned, the dead who have escaped the Underworld.
*Purphoros - God of the forge, of fire and passion,
Purphoros is the divine blacksmith, crafting the landscape and stirring the hearts of both men and god alike.
*Thassa - God of the sea, of secrets, murmurs and gradual change, Thassa is revered and appeased by any and all who venture out to sea.

*Selected.

/ in w/ Iroas please.

Will Zem complete the triumvirate and be day killed as town for three consecutive games? Let's find out!

Hi Stardust! *waves*

Hi Z! There are three day killing roles in this game, so it's not looking good for you...

Oh man...

Live by the sword, die by the sword right?

Can't wait

In/

I'll go with Keranos I think

Uh oh.

I'll try not to kill you.


But I am not happy that you couldn't fit mogis in here. Even if he is too obvious of a bad character

/in

Erebos plz

Cool idea Stardust! I've been pretty busy lately, which is screwing up my dedication to the current DTR mafia game.

/replace

I don't want to slow down another game because of the IRLs.

/in

/spectate?

I'll try not to kill you.


But I am not happy that you couldn't fit mogis in here. Even if he is too obvious of a bad character

Sorry. Mogis does play a role in the storyline of this game though, so it's not a total loss.

/in

In

Nobody wants to pick their god?

Oh and be prepared, I intend to make a lot of lightning puns

That's not terribly shocking.

/in

I choose Jesus.

Thatsnotfair

NIce idea: Athreos for me.

/in as Thassa or Nylea and only if you don't get 13 before me.

/in as Karametra so I can grow crops

I'd like to be Phenax.

when do you think this may start up? (I know it's dependent on sign ups, but just a ballpark?)

Probably some time next week. I'm hoping Day 1 will take a little while though since I'm going on vacation. Kaze has agreed to run vote counts while I'm gone.

/in with the caveat that I'll be able to be much more active after Friday the 20th. If you get interest from 13 or more, feel free to have someone take my place.

If Purphoros isn't taken that'd be cool. Red and stuff.

Will take Heliod if possible since someone took Erebos

Did not know we could pick a name.

I hear the OP is good reading material.

Four slots left! :3

Plz sign up ppl

/in for this one.

Hi Void! Should be a fun game! Any preference on character?

Nylea

Sign up for dis game guis

Plz guis

Now Tubehunter, you'll probably have a day kill (Lightning Strike! Take 3) so let's not kill poor Zem OK?

Actually, maybe do. Then i'll have been daykilled in my first 3 games

You're the god of war, so maybe I should be afraid of you!

Now Tubehunter, you'll probably have a day kill (Lightning Strike! Take 3) so let's not kill poor Zem OK?

Actually, maybe do. Then i'll have been daykilled in my first 3 games

Or not discuss ongoing games.

Hey reZmozo, you and witchunt get in here and sign up for this game!

Seriously guys. Play the game

If it won't start until next Monday, I'll play. I'm crushed at work until the end of the week.

What's it looking like?
