Proposal: What’s that on my forehead?

Self-killed -Darth

Adminned at 18 Jan 2010 11:00:41 UTC

Add a rule to the Ruleset, titled “The Target”:

There may exist a Target, which is a Guest the Murderer is particularly intent on killing in his quest for the inheritance. If no Target has been assigned, the Executor may pick a Guest at random out of all alive Guests with a lower degree of relation than the murderer and make him the Target. The Executor must then privately inform the Murderer of which group of roles (Servants, Gentry, Tradesmen or Lunatics) the Target is a member. The Executor does not inform the Murderer if the Target changes roles after having been assigned. If the Target is dead, he ceases to be the Target and the Executor may pick a new one.

I have no idea where to go from here, but I like the idea of the Murderer hunting down the competition for the inheritance.

for I like this. As-is, it’s not much, but maybe we can add some more effects on the Target.

Also, EE thinks that this post is -2342 seconds (or whatever) old; I think someone’s clocks are broken.

for It fits the theme of a relation only getting the money if the more popular relative dies.

against I prefer the idea of the murderer specifically trying to hunt the next-of-kin.  Even if an individual is murdered, it keeps everyone guessing who’s next.

against Yeah.  And presumably the murderer is such because he’s already murdered.  not all of them are serial killers.

Actually…CoV against .
The only effect this actually has on the rules is to give the Murderer an additional, mostly useless bit of information—the general class of people to which belongs at least one of the people who are more closely related. I prefer the idea of the Murderer having to use the same channels as everyone else.

Wait… What if the murderer is already the most closely related? What happens then?

against As soon as the bloodline ties in to a victory condition, the murderer will want to be doing this anyway (probably using the pooled information from genealogy checks).
