It began upon the following occasion
It is allowed on all hands, that the primitive way of breaking eggs before we eat them, was upon the larger end: but his present Majesty's grandfather, while he was a boy, going to eat an egg, and breaking it according to the ancient practice, happened to cut one of his fingers. Whereupon the Emperor his father published an edict, commanding all his subjects, upon great penalties, to break the smaller end of their eggs
The people so highly resented this law, that our Histories tell us there have been six rebellions raised on that account, wherein one Emperor lost his life, and another his crown. These civil commotions were constantly formented by the monarchs of Blefuscu, and when they were quelled, the exiles always fled for refuge to that Empire
It is computed, that eleven thousand persons have, at several times, suffered death, rather than submit to break their eggs at the smaller end. Many hundred large volumes have been published upon this controversy: but the books of the Big-Endians have been long forbidden, and the whole party rendered incapable by law of holding employments
During the course of these troubles, the emperors of Blefuscu did frequently expostulate by their ambassadors, accusing us of making a schism in religion, by offending against a fundamental doctrine of our great prophet Lustrog, in the fifty-fourth chapter of the Brundecral (which is their Alcoran). This, however, is thought to be a mere strain upon the text: for their words are these; That all true believers shall break their eggs at the convenient end: and which is the convenient end, seems, in my humble opinion, to be left to every man's conscience, or at least in the power of the chief magistrate to determine
There are two cults, each with a leader
Each night, town members may target a player, alive or dead. They will be informed whether that player is a cultist or not (NB this check occurs before the night phase's conversions). If the target is a leader then they'll be read as town
Each night, leaders may target a player. If the target is a leader, the action fizzles. If the target is a cultist, the target dies. Otherwise the target is recruited. No confirmation is sent
When a player is recruited they will only be told which end they've decided to crack eggs from here on out
There is no scumpad. All players are barred from any communication re game outside this thread
Town wins when both cult leaders die
Cults win when they've eliminated all players not part of their cult
In case of a No Lynch vote, a random player will be lynched
Roles are not revealed upon death
Night 0 has ended.
(I'll send roles out once sign ups deadline is past)
