A Shakesperean Mafia Tale


Groot

Recommended Posts

Romeo&Juliet-Logo-credit.jpg

 

Two households, both alike in dignity,

In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,

From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,

Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.

 

The Roles -

 

Good - 5

 

Prince Escalus ? Ruler of Verona, every night seeks to uncover the identity of the Montague?s and Capulet?s to rid his fair city of their evil ways

 

Friar Laurence ? Confidant of Romeo, nightly tries to protect his fellow town?s people of the scourge of the two families at war

 

Romeo/Juliet/Mercutio ? Our star crossed lovers and their dear friend, desperate to end the war between the families so they can live their lives in peace

 

Bad-6

 

House of Montague

 

Montague ? Patriarch of the House of Montague/Romeo?s father

 

Lady Montague ? Montague?s wife/Romeo?s mother

 

Benvolio ? Cousin of Romeo

 

House of Capulet

 

Capulet ? Patriarch of the House of Capulet/Juliet?s father

 

Lady Capulet ? Capulet?s wife/Juliets?s mother

 

Tybalt ? Cousin of Juliet

 

The families take turns about to kill someone at night unless they lose their kill privileges (see below)

 

Assassin

 

Count Paris ? Kinsman of Escalus and wishes to marry Juliet and only way he thinks he can do this is by ending the family feud. Has 4 kills through the game, if he kills Juliet he commits suicide in grief. Can win the game himself if he is the last remaining roled player.

 

The townies win once both families are killed off, each family wins once the other family is killed off and they outnumber the townies.

 

If you do not receive a PM you are a member of the townsfolk of Verona and want to end the war so you can live normal lives without fear of violence.

 

At night I will take PMs from Escalus then Laurence and then whatever families turn it is followed by Paris if he chooses to use one of his kills.

 

If the Montague?s or Capulet?s kill Mercutio during the night with his last breath he will call a curse down upon the house that killed him. They will then lose their next night kill and there will be no goon kill that night.

 

Please post votes and unvotes in bold e.g. vote Romanov and unvote Romanov

 

If you don't your vote will not be counted. No editing of posts with votes allowed, if this is done voting privileges may be removed.

 

You can bluff or lie about your role, but if you come out right and say you?re Romeo or Paris etc you will be mod killed

 

A lynch will happen when there is majority votes for the same person or a deadline has been reached. If deadline is reached but not enough numbers have voted the same person, the person with the highest amount of votes at that time will be lynched. If it is a tie I will devise a way of picking the winner.

 

Only players who have a team role are allowed to PM other players about the game. If you receive a PM from someone you are not supposed to please DON'T post it on the game thread, report it to me first. If you have any questions about the general rules post them on the thread, if you have a question about your role/power PM me and I'll try my best to explain it.

 

No PMs or chat in other threads or even in real life about the game unless you have a role which allows PMs to other players and then it can only be between the players you have been given by me.

 

No speculation is permitted on the thread during the night period, just the usual sorry I?ve killed townie type stuff. I will punish players who misbehave at night.

 

Dead people can post but if they say vote someone off or unsubtly hint for someone to be voted off, I will be round to kill them for real-just don?t do it please. I have experienced it myself (ask Boof!) and know it is hard but it ruins the experience for other players

 

Finally I will Mod kill non posters and voters unless there is good excuse.

 

PMs will be sent out over next hour

 

Remember this is just for fun, don?t try and take it too seriously!

Enjoy and if you are confused over anything please PM me

 

First deadline will be 9pm on Saturday night, with all roled players to have PM?s in by 11pm or you will lose your right to the night time activities. There will be no flexibility on this to allow the game to flow. Next deadline will be 48 hours after that but will then be every 24 hours

 

Mods - Please sticky :2thumbsup:

That's one healthy backstory. I like it :).

 

Let's make it three (two if you don't count the pishy rivals game) in a row townsfolk.

Benvolio's never killed anyone in his puff, and is a loyal friend to Romeo until the end.

 

Shame on you defaming his legacy.

that is the one thing that troubled me honestly but for this game we'll let it go

Act 3, Scene 2

 

 

SCENE II. Capulet's orchard.

 

Enter JULIET

 

JULIET

 

Gallop apace, you fiery-footed steeds,

Towards Phoebus' lodging: such a wagoner

As Phaethon would whip you to the west,

And bring in cloudy night immediately.

Spread thy close curtain, love-performing night,

That runaway's eyes may wink and Romeo

Leap to these arms, untalk'd of and unseen.

Lovers can see to do their amorous rites

By their own beauties; or, if love be blind,

It best agrees with night. Come, civil night,

Thou sober-suited matron, all in black,

And learn me how to lose a winning match,

Play'd for a pair of stainless maidenhoods:

Hood my unmann'd blood, bating in my cheeks,

With thy black mantle; till strange love, grown bold,

Think true love acted simple modesty.

Come, night; come, Romeo; come, thou day in night;

For thou wilt lie upon the wings of night

Whiter than new snow on a raven's back.

Come, gentle night, come, loving, black-brow'd night,

Give me my Romeo; and, when he shall die,

Take him and cut him out in little stars,

And he will make the face of heaven so fine

That all the world will be in love with night

And pay no worship to the garish sun.

O, I have bought the mansion of a love,

But not possess'd it, and, though I am sold,

Not yet enjoy'd: so tedious is this day

As is the night before some festival

To an impatient child that hath new robes

And may not wear them. O, here comes my nurse,

And she brings news; and every tongue that speaks

But Romeo's name speaks heavenly eloquence.

 

Enter Nurse, with cords

Now, nurse, what news? What hast thou there? the cords

That Romeo bid thee fetch?

 

Nurse

 

Ay, ay, the cords.

 

Throws them down

 

JULIET

 

Ay me! what news? why dost thou wring thy hands?

 

Nurse

 

Ah, well-a-day! he's dead, he's dead, he's dead!

We are undone, lady, we are undone!

Alack the day! he's gone, he's kill'd, he's dead!

 

JULIET

 

Can heaven be so envious?

 

Nurse

 

Romeo can,

Though heaven cannot: O Romeo, Romeo!

Who ever would have thought it? Romeo!

 

JULIET

 

What devil art thou, that dost torment me thus?

This torture should be roar'd in dismal hell.

Hath Romeo slain himself? say thou but 'I,'

And that bare vowel 'I' shall poison more

Than the death-darting eye of cockatrice:

I am not I, if there be such an I;

Or those eyes shut, that make thee answer 'I.'

If he be slain, say 'I'; or if not, no:

Brief sounds determine of my weal or woe.

 

Nurse

 

I saw the wound, I saw it with mine eyes,--

God save the mark!--here on his manly breast:

A piteous corse, a bloody piteous corse;

Pale, pale as ashes, all bedaub'd in blood,

All in gore-blood; I swounded at the sight.

 

JULIET

 

O, break, my heart! poor bankrupt, break at once!

To prison, eyes, ne'er look on liberty!

Vile earth, to earth resign; end motion here;

And thou and Romeo press one heavy bier!

 

Nurse

 

O Tybalt, Tybalt, the best friend I had!

O courteous Tybalt! honest gentleman!

That ever I should live to see thee dead!

 

JULIET

 

What storm is this that blows so contrary?

Is Romeo slaughter'd, and is Tybalt dead?

My dear-loved cousin, and my dearer lord?

Then, dreadful trumpet, sound the general doom!

For who is living, if those two are gone?

 

Nurse

 

Tybalt is gone, and Romeo banished;

Romeo that kill'd him, he is banished.

 

JULIET

 

O God! did Romeo's hand shed Tybalt's blood?

 

Nurse

 

It did, it did; alas the day, it did!

 

JULIET

 

O serpent heart, hid with a flowering face!

Did ever dragon keep so fair a cave?

Beautiful tyrant! fiend angelical!

Dove-feather'd raven! wolvish-ravening lamb!

Despised substance of divinest show!

Just opposite to what thou justly seem'st,

A damned saint, an honourable villain!

O nature, what hadst thou to do in hell,

When thou didst bower the spirit of a fiend

In moral paradise of such sweet flesh?

Was ever book containing such vile matter

So fairly bound? O that deceit should dwell

In such a gorgeous palace!

 

Nurse

 

There's no trust,

No faith, no honesty in men; all perjured,

All forsworn, all naught, all dissemblers.

Ah, where's my man? give me some aqua vitae:

These griefs, these woes, these sorrows make me old.

Shame come to Romeo!

 

JULIET

 

Blister'd be thy tongue

For such a wish! he was not born to shame:

Upon his brow shame is ashamed to sit;

For 'tis a throne where honour may be crown'd

Sole monarch of the universal earth.

O, what a beast was I to chide at him!

 

Nurse

 

Will you speak well of him that kill'd your cousin?

 

JULIET

 

Shall I speak ill of him that is my husband?

Ah, poor my lord, what tongue shall smooth thy name,

When I, thy three-hours wife, have mangled it?

But, wherefore, villain, didst thou kill my cousin?

That villain cousin would have kill'd my husband:

Back, foolish tears, back to your native spring;

Your tributary drops belong to woe,

Which you, mistaking, offer up to joy.

My husband lives, that Tybalt would have slain;

And Tybalt's dead, that would have slain my husband:

All this is comfort; wherefore weep I then?

Some word there was, worser than Tybalt's death,

That murder'd me: I would forget it fain;

But, O, it presses to my memory,

Like damned guilty deeds to sinners' minds:

'Tybalt is dead, and Romeo--banished;'

That 'banished,' that one word 'banished,'

Hath slain ten thousand Tybalts. Tybalt's death

Was woe enough, if it had ended there:

Or, if sour woe delights in fellowship

And needly will be rank'd with other griefs,

Why follow'd not, when she said 'Tybalt's dead,'

Thy father, or thy mother, nay, or both,

Which modern lamentations might have moved?

But with a rear-ward following Tybalt's death,

'Romeo is banished,' to speak that word,

Is father, mother, Tybalt, Romeo, Juliet,

All slain, all dead. 'Romeo is banished!'

There is no end, no limit, measure, bound,

In that word's death; no words can that woe sound.

Where is my father, and my mother, nurse?

 

Nurse

 

Weeping and wailing over Tybalt's corse:

Will you go to them? I will bring you thither.

 

JULIET

 

Wash they his wounds with tears: mine shall be spent,

When theirs are dry, for Romeo's banishment.

Take up those cords: poor ropes, you are beguiled,

Both you and I; for Romeo is exiled:

He made you for a highway to my bed;

But I, a maid, die maiden-widowed.

Come, cords, come, nurse; I'll to my wedding-bed;

And death, not Romeo, take my maidenhead!

 

Nurse

 

Hie to your chamber: I'll find Romeo

To comfort you: I wot well where he is.

Hark ye, your Romeo will be here at night:

I'll to him; he is hid at Laurence' cell.

 

JULIET

 

O, find him! give this ring to my true knight,

And bid him come to take his last farewell.

 

Exeunt

Is this meant to be fun or Education?

 

I might go and consult my Passing Time on the Loo book to see how it all ends... Surely its a happy ending with the two lovers ending the war and living happily ever after?

 

I hope

I wanted to be Tybalt, just coz it's a cool name, but I am nameless cast member, gentleman of Verona.

 

Which means another quiet game for me.

This is future Maxi here. We lost the game fellow townies, now I have taken it upon myself to change the course of history. I have harnessed the power of the electromagnetic anomaly in my toilet bowl to traverse time to bring you an important message.

 

vote albannach.

 

He is the one who brings about our downfall.

 

Hmmmm, if you believe me that means we will win and then I won't have our loss as a motivation to travel back in time thus I would cease to exist in this timeline so the fact I am still here means you don't listen to me and we still lose. Oh well, I tried.
