Werewolf Lite CCCI: House of Cards
[video=youtube;bhLN0L5JdD4]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhLN0L5JdD4[/video]
United Kingdom, 1990
Margaret Thatcher, the "Iron Lady," has just resigned. After having the same leader for 11 years, the Conservative Party has no clear successor. Many prominent MPs contest the party leadership and eventually Henry Collingridge emerges as the man to lead the party in the upcoming general election. The 48-year old Collingridge, who was formerly the Minister of the Environment and Minister for Inner City Growth, has often been described as "the acceptable face of capitalism." However, some of his colleagues hold him in a slightly less favourable light, considering him to be a "well-meaning fool, with no background and no bottom." These doubts notwithstanding, Collingridge still manages to lead his party to victory, albeit with a significantly reduced majority of about 30 seats. As if this political drama wasn't enough, the new Prime Minister makes a shocking decision: there will be no Cabinet changes whatsoever. Collingridge is confident that this is a show of strength, but certain members of his party see it as weakness. With these subversive elements threatening to bring down his government, Collingridge must carefully choose whom to trust, for there are foxes in the hen house...

Rules:
A maximum of seventeen (17) players can sign up. Roles shall be handed out at the nearest 24:00 GMT deadline, or when the roster is full, or at least one full day after the last sign up.
After sign-ups are closed, and roles passed out, the game shall proceed to a night deadline.
The game shall continue in a day/night cycle with each 24 hour period (one day and night) occurring in one update. In this period, the day time shall be consumed with political debate followed by the "removal" (one way or another) of a suspected traitor in the Cabinet. Sometimes the Cabinet may find two ministers equally guilty, in this case a Lemeard approved TIE can occur, and both ministers shall be "removed." At night, the ministers who support Urquhart will conspire to "remove" one minister of Collingridge's Faction.
Urquhart's Faction wins by equaling the number of ministers that are part of Collingridge's Faction in the Cabinet, therefore winning Urquhart the Premiership, and Collingridge's Faction wins by eliminating Urquhart's supporters.
Roles:
Collingridge's Faction (12): All Cabinet ministers are ostensibly supporters of the Prime Minister, but these are the only true loyalists. However, with the members of Urquhart's Faction amongst them, they do not know who is a traitor and who is one of their own.
Mattie Storin (1): This young, intrepid reporter has only two goals: to make a name for herself and discover the truth behind the internal power struggle. She can investigate one minister each night to see if they support Urquhart or Collingridge. In order to gain information, she has a contact inside the Cabinet (the seer still appears as a normal minister from the outside, so, in order to make the RP stuff work, I had to make it complicated).
Urquhart's Faction (4): These ministers see only weakness in Collingridge's government, and they would much rather see Francis Urquhart, the Chief Whip, assume the Premiership. Each night they will "remove" one of Collingridge's supporters and get one step closer to achieving their goal.
THE DEADLINE WILL BE AT 22:00 GMT (6:00 PM EDST) ANY VOTES WITH THE TIMESTAMP 21:59 WILL COUNT. THOSE WITH THE TIMESTAMP 22:00 WILL NOT.
