TWG XI: Rise of the Olympians
I had an interesting idea only moments ago for a game.
Story
The year is 3341 BC, height of the old Greek Empire. The world is torn between rising empires and conquest for absolute control over all major trade routes. Greece is becoming increasingly divided, with it's city-states threatening to wage war amongst one another. Order is falling, and peace soon with it.
"The time has come for our return."
The man stepped from where he sat and walked down an aisle of people standing side by side. He wore a white cloak, golden sandals, and a sash of emerald. He stroked his luminous white beard as he paced down the aisle, complete silence fell in the grand room of his mighty throne.
"Long have we sat upon our thrones, in our gardens, on our mighty steps, watching over mortal men as they slew one another and tore apart the world that we, the gods, have brought order upon."
The room remained silent.
"Now, our time has come. Man must be saved from himself, or all life will perish with him. There is a spreading plague of greed, and jealousy, and hatred. This destroys the heart of men."
"What would you suggest we do, Olympus?" Asked Athena. "There has always been evil in man."
"Yes, I know this. I am actually more aware than you think. Infact, I am very sure of this."
"So long as there is man, there is evil." Declared Ares.
"No, so long as there is evil, we are threatened. Man was inherently good before evil, and so it shall be that man is good when evil is gone." Responded Zeus.
"But how can this be? How can one eliminate a part of man and relish the other?" Asked Athena.
"I am Olympus, am I not?" Declared Zeus, in a contempt manner that frightened the gods standing in the aisle.
"I shall separate man from his good and evil side. I shall make the evil of man into plague that will transform and twist him, turning him into the true menace of himself. Then I shall leave it up to the good of mortal man to find and destroy this evil when it's true form is discovered. Should man succeed, then the evil in men shall be eliminated everywhere. Should he fail, well, that is something we shall deal with when the time comes." Stated Zeus.
"There is only hope as their aid." Said Athena, softly.
"Hermes, brother, send word to the 12 men of the village at the base of the mountain. They shall be our mortal gladiators of fate. I will make it so, that when the evil is gone, or the good defeated, that result shall spread throughout the world as fast as my lightning bolt, and so fast you shall go to deliver this word." Said Zeus.
Hermes nodded, and with that he dashed off from the peak of Mount Olympus to seek the men in the village.
"The time for our history to be decided has come."

The Roles:
12 players
2 Titans(Wolves)
Cronus(Master Wolf) The Master Wolf is seered as green, but is on the wolves' team and has all normal wolf functions.
Zeus(Guardian) Has the ability to guard a player once per night.
Ares(Vigi) Has the ability to send in a pm to kill any player of his choice once per night.
Athena(Seer) Sends in a PM once per night to see the color of a player's role.
Gladiators of Fate(Humans) Don't know one another, must kill the wolves in order to win.
Armor of Achilles This item is sent to a random human at the start of the game. This armor, when in the possession of a player, will protect him from being wolfed, but not lynched. So long as this player has the armor, he is protected from being wolfed. If the player is lynched with the armor, then the armor is lost forever. The player can choose to send the armor to any other player by PM'ing the host and letting him now which player to send it to.
Apollo's Bow This item is sent to a random player(Human or Wolf) at the start of the game. This item only has one arrow, meaning it has only one use. To use, the player with this item sends a PM to the host stating the name of the player that he/she wishes to use it on. The bow has the ability to resurrect one player during the Night phase. When used, the bow disappears. The player has the ability to send this item to another via pm'ing the host. If a player dies with this item, it is lost forever.

NEW RULE FOR THIS GAME.
You're going to like this.
Maybe...
It's going to force activity, and lots of it. You're all going to be thoroughly aware of what's going on in the game at all points of the thread. The Day phases for this game will run from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. The Night phases will run from 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. This pattern will repeat. This is to force everyone to be active, and this is how the game is played in most places.

Questions:
Can one person hold both items at one time?
What would happen if someone sent the Armor of Achilles to a wolf?

Yes, one person can have both items at once. Yes, the armor can be sent to a wolf, and should it be in the hands of a wolf then it'd be virtually useless, and that'd be very bad for humans because the wolves can wolf themselves to try to prove their humanity. I'd advise people to be especially careful with the items.
TheLegend, you're not playing as a guest. Make an account and stick with it. The staff is already very aware of your accounts, since your IP address shows up on the site. Either play as one name or don't play at all.
In after this and musical showdown I'm leaving, so no worries, Nakah, no worries about me annoying you! You won't ever have a person to slash your anger on, you won't have a person that will complain about updates anymore. You won't have a person to put your stress on, and -- wait, you have U-X. Never mind. Act as if I didn't say anything at all.
Wow, I'm not even in this and yet you bring me in. Fuck off.
EDIT: If you really need more people, I'll join... just don't expect much from me.
INcompoops.
He's right. You (TheLegend) do need to fuck off. >_>
EDIT: Fixed.
Why don't you both just relax?

If you're not going to stick around for future games, why bother starting to play now. I don't think you'll find playing to be very fun seeing as you have not really played a TWG yet and don't have the gameplay completely down.
Also, stop flaming other members and attempting(and poorly at that) to be sarcastic in a non-witty way towards myself. You can't play under two account names, nor as a guest, for
obvious reasons. I couldn't care less if you really played at this point with that kind of attitude, but if you want any chance at redemption then I'll let you play this one.

Can you summarize the
exact points of that? I am sorry, but I do not understand you. You say I am "flaming" other members. It's really what most people are doing to me and U-X, and he's getting so annoyed of it that he's starting to flame me. I really don't understand how I was sarcastic to you... ? I was trying to point out that you were unfairly mean to me. But if this arguement continues, something will happen.
Give it up... you do realize he can see youre url... there really isnt a reason for two different accounts and do you see a problem with playing with either 2 accounts or as a guest.. it would mess the game up and give you an unfair advantage
I'll do it!

I really don't care. Either play or don't, but do it under one name. I'm not going to put up with any threats though, if that's what your implying.
