Re: The Fall of Númenor - Game Over!

@JaggedJimmyJay modifying the subforum permissions to no longer allow editing of posts was, in my opinion, a large reason for why town won this game. Give yourself a pat on the back, you deserve it!

Re: The Fall of Númenor - Game Over!

@ignoramus When you sign up for a game on a new site you're automatically put on the short list for d1 elimination candidates. Usually it's a good idea to post more often in these situations to avoid moving to the top of that list.

Re: The Fall of Númenor - Game Over!

@Esooa you didn't submit a target on n3. You're lucky the town was able to recover after such a catastrophic misplay.

@hollowkatt keep being awesome hk.

@KZA this game was nearly unwinnable for you after you failed to sign up. Remember, you lose 100% of the games you don't play.

Re: The Fall of Númenor - Day Five

Our agents failed to stop the King's invasion of Valinor. Under cover of night we fled, gathering our loved ones and belongings, to the harbour and the nine ships awaiting us. We had planned to sail West to Middle-Earth, and to found a new life there in Eriador. Alas, there was a great storm. A wave tall enough to eclipse the peak of Meneltarma swallowed Númenor whole. Our masts were broken and our sails were tattered by the gale, and I thought us doomed, but by some miracle the wave bore our ships to the safe port of Lindon. Alas, Isildur's ship was borne South, and although I spend every waking hour gazing into the Palantír, I have not yet made contact with my son. I fear the worst, but I refuse to lose hope. I will find him, and together we will found a new Kingdom for our people in Middle-Earth, one free from Sauron's influence. For not even he could survive such a catastrophe. And to my people, I swear this oath: Et Eärello Endorenna utúlien. Sinome maruvan ar Hildinyar tenn' Ambar-metta.

Re: The Fall of Númenor - Day Five

Narsil is a fine weapon! During my apprenticeship in Khazad-dûm I learned a great many things from the finest dwarven smiths of our time, but even they are not capable of recreating such a thing today. I won't say that the magic in dwarven craftsmanship (craftsdwarfship?) is gone, but it has certainly dwindled. And although the rings of power given to the dwarves by Sauron have triggered a sort of renaissance in weaponsmithing, I can't help but feel that a sense of ennui is permeating their society. The idea that their greatest masterworks are far behind them - works such as the Dragon-helm of Dor-lómin, also forged by Telchar, will never come close to being reproduced - has dampened their creative spirit. Anyway, Narsil truly is a one-of-a-kind artifact, and if any weapon is capable of taking out the Ainur, it's that one. It's just a shame it won't be with us when we sail East.

Re: The Fall of Númenor - Day Four

The Great Armament is prepared. Our meteorologists predict that wind conditions will be favourable for the next few days. The distance from our home-port of Andúnië to the staging point of Tol Eressëa is approximately 1700 kilometres... with luck, we'll arrive within a fortnight. The men are nervous, and for good reason. Not one of us can know what to expect from the so-called Undying Lands. It would be a great comfort to have Sauron accompany us on the journey, but the King has elected to leave him as regent in his absence. We have Melkor's blessing. With any luck, that'll be enough to bury the Valar.

Re: The Fall of Númenor - Day Three

My dear Lord Amandil. It has been three years since your voyage West, and although I have not lost hope in your mission, it seems you are out of time. Our estranged friend, Ar-Pharazôn, is set to depart on his own mission shortly. I remain faithful to the Valar, but after so many moons without sign of your success or failure, I must fulfill my duty to my family and travel East with them, and with your heirs. I have already passed Barahir's ring to Elendil, along with the replica you had asked me to forge prior to your departure. You were always superstitious, and your fear that Elendil would meet the same fate as the ring's namesake should he bear it is a foolish one, but I would not begrudge you this final request. After all, which father hasn't fallen prey to misplaced fears over their child's well-being?

Re: The Fall of Númenor - Day Three

The King tells me we need more ships for the armada. I tell him we're out of wood for the armada. He tells me to get more wood. I tell him we're out of trees. He tells me to get creative. I tell him that building ships creatively is a good way to have them sink halfway to Aman. He tells me that Melkor has guaranteed the armada's safety. I tell him that last I checked, Melkor didn't have domain over the damned ocean! Alright, well, I didn't tell him that, but I wanted to. I guess we'll just start tearing down peoples' homes for spare planks, I'm sure that'll go over well.

Re: The Fall of Númenor - Day Three

The Sceptre of Andúnië is just like any other, I suppose. It holds not the regality or splendiferousness of the Sceptre of Númenor, but is charming in its own right. Forged nearly 2500 years ago, this rod is crafted entirely of the most exquisite elemental silver. Engraved into the head is a beguiling depiction of the first Lord of Andúnië, Valandil, prostrating himself before Manwë, King of Arda. This curious self-debasement seems to have become somewhat of a tradition for the people of Andúnië, who are presumably content with the doom that lurks at the invariable end of their pitiable lifespan. A small comfort it will be to them, when the last of their people pass into the unknown, that I will remain present to commit their societal contributions to record.

Re: The Fall of Númenor - Night Two

My King, you know that I would never lead you astray. You have already proven yourself my superior, and I would not chance bringing your wrath upon myself a second time. Melkor is known as the bringer of gifts, and it is true that with his blessing, the magnificence of your kingdom has grown sevenfold. He has informed me that the denizens of Valinor quake before the might of your armada; however, to guarantee your victory, Melkor will bestow you with his greatest blessing. With this boon, even the mightiest of your enemies will wither before you. The cost of this blessing is meagre. Melkor requires warriors in order to triumph in the battle at the world's end, Dagor Dagorath. The Elendili are a minor nuisance, but perhaps they can be put to some use...

Re: The Fall of Númenor - Night One

Immortality won't save me when the King gets back from Valinor and finds out that I've lost the Palantíri. Those things are priceless, irreplaceable, and critical to the administration of Númenor! That's not even to mention what evils they could work if they make their way into the wrong hands. But I have to wonder, why would they take all seven? With just one they can have a peek into any nook or cranny in the kingdom, why would they need more? I have a hunch that this is the work of the Elendili, and that they're deliberately (and successfully) trying to take down our kingdom's infrastructure in preparation for some large-scale attack. If that's the case, I really am in trouble.

Re: The Fall of Númenor - Day One

The white tree burned softly in the temple of Melkor. And even while I ordered my men to set their torches at its base, I questioned whether we were doing the right thing. Every day for over a century have I seen that tree. I met my husband in the shadow of that tree. I watched my nephews grow up playing in its branches. It's been such a fixture in my life that it's difficult to imagine crossing the courtyard tomorrow morning and not seeing it. When the King's advisor ordered us to throw an accused member of the Elendili atop the pyre, I was in such a state that I hardly blinked an eye. Is this what our Melkor worship begets us? Sauron tells us that this is the only way to truly determine the accused's guilt, but I cannot help but feel it's cost us our humanity.
-From the journal of Dôlguzagar, last captain of the Númenórean palace guard.


Night One has fallen.

Re: The Fall of Númenor - Night Zero

Ar-Zimraphel, he calls me. The name is like a curse, a constant reminder of my usurped throne and the heresy of our people. He thinks of me as some disposable thing, incapable of resistance. At the slightest provocation, the fool revealed that he plans to use Nimloth as kindling for a sacrifice to Melkor tomorrow evening. And while I and the Elendili may be powerless to stop this, we at least can ensure the line of Telperion endures in Middle Earth. Our plot was successful, but only just. Under cover of night, Isildur managed to abscond with one of the tree's fruits. Unfortunately, he was spotted by a member of the palace guard and sustained a critical injury while making his escape. May Estë grant him a quick recovery, for he will need it in the days ahead.
- From the journal of Tar-Míriel, last Queen of Númenor.

The First Day has dawned.

Some reminders:
  • The Elendili have made one player immune to execution. If that player receives majority / plurality, there will be no execution.
  • Deadline is Saturday, June 5 at 12:00 pm EST.
  • Everyone has but 50 posts per game day. Flagrant disregard of this post limit will result in a modkill. Please don't force me to make a judgement call!
  • In the event of a tie at end of day, there will be no execution.
  • Voting in-thread is mandatory.

Re: The Fall of Númenor - Night Zero

Ar-Zimraphel continues to harangue me about the blasted tree out in the courtyard. With the way she carries on, one might imagine her as a gardener instead of a queen. Some days I do consider tending to the crooked thing, if only to still my wife's ever-bleating tongue. I know why she lectures me, of course. She still clings to the foolish notion of peace between Elves and Men. She believes that if I can be convinced to water a plant, that I'll begin to see the error of my ways, forgive the wrongs that have been done to us, and call off the invasion mere days before we set sail for the Undying Lands. It is absurd. Our people will not be denied that which is owed them.
- From the journal of Ar-Pharazôn, last King of Númenor.

Night Zero has fallen.

All Role PMs are out, please confirm via PM or Discord if you haven't done so already! Day One will start once I have all confirmations.

The Fall of Númenor - Game Over!

The Fall of Númenor
A game for 13 players


The year is 3319 of the Second Age. Under the leadership of its King, Ar-Pharazôn, Númenor is preparing itself for war against the Valar in the Undying Lands. Nearly all preparations are complete; however, there is a slight problem. The King's advisor, Sauron, has discovered that agents of The Elendili have infiltrated the King's court. Luckily, he has already devised a plan to root them out...

As the title suggests, this game is based on the events leading to the destruction of the Númenóreans. Yes, it is Lord of the Rings themed! No knowledge of the theme is necessary, though.

The Elendili form the informed minority (mafia), while the Loyalists form the uninformed majority (town).


Setup Information

Three out of these four Loyalist roles are present in the game:
  • Loyalist Healer (Doctor): Each night, you may protect any player (including yourself) from kills. You win when all of the Elendili are dead.
  • Loyalist Gaoler (Jailkeeper): Each night, you may protect any player (excluding yourself) from kills, and prevent them from taking any action. You win when all of the Elendili are dead.
  • Loyalist Hunter (Tracker): Each night, you may track any player (excluding yourself) to learn whom they visited, if anyone. You win when all of the Elendili are dead.
  • Loyalist Investigator (Parity Cop): Each night, you may inspect any player (including yourself) to learn whether they are Quenya or Sindarin. One of these groups corresponds to the Loyalists and one corresponds to the Elendili, but you do not know which is which. You win when all of the Elendili are dead.
The Loyalist power roles can only take actions on N1, N2 & N3.

The rest of the Loyalists receive the following role:
  • Loyalist (Vanilla): You win when all of the Elendili are dead.

The Elendili have a different power each night, in addition to their factional kill (there is no factional kill on N0):
  • N0, Fruit of Nimloth: Target any player to secretly make them execution-immune for Day One.
  • N1, Palantír: Target any player to learn their role, or target yourself to learn which Loyalist role is not present in the setup.
  • N2, Sceptre of Andúnië: Target any player to make them action-immune, or target the player performing your factional kill to make it go through protection.
  • N3, Barahir's Ring: Use any power from Palantír or Sceptre of Andúnië.
  • N4+, Narsil: If there are an odd number of players, target any player to kill them.
The Elendili must specify who is performing the factional kill, and who is performing the other ability. It may be the same person. They may also speak privately via Discord at any time.


General Rules
  • 48/24 phases.
  • Daily post cap is 50 and does not lift near end of day.
  • A majority vote ends the day instantly. At end of day, the player with the most votes is executed. If there is a tie at deadline, nobody dies.
  • All votes must be in-thread using the vote tags. Voting in the poll is optional but encouraged.
  • All usual Syndicate rules apply. If you have questions about what this means, please ask.
