Thanks everyone for signing up! The game is full! Signing up as a sub is still welcome.

[THEME MUSIC]

Welcome to to the long-awaited return of Black Fable! A mafia-forum game, this time inspired by the timeless classic: Umineko No Naku Koro Ni (or "When the Seagulls Cry") by Ryukishi07.

Regardless, even if you haven't read Umineko no Naku Koro Ni or play in the original Black Fable, that's no problem! This game is open to anyone who wants to join in!

Black Fable is an RP, which means each player will play as a character in the fiction of the game, speaking and acting as if they were in the game world. The story your character will fit into will be the following:

Spoiler: Story
The year is 1987. The matriarch of the wealthy Moonview Family, Gloria Moonview, has invited all of her extended family and friends over for a gathering at the Tudor-style Moonview Family Manor, which is atop the rocky shores of Eventide Island.

Unfortunately, Gloria Moonview is quite advanced in her years, and what would otherwise be a peaceful family gathering quickly turns to an argument about splitting the inheritance once she dies.

Things get worse when a storm prevents any ships from coming or leaving the island and nobody can leave! Gloria's old stories about "witches" begin to sound a little bit more true when eerie things begin to happen around the island.

When they lay down to go to sleep, not all of them wake up again...


So that's the story, more or less. Each of you will play as one of the people trapped on Eventide island during the events of the Moonview Family gathering.

During the course of the game, you will try your best to solve murders and stop any "witches" from doing any killing!

The gameplay will be constructed as follows (similar to other forum mafia games):

Spoiler: Gameplay
There are two factions which can:

Mortals: The mortals win if more mortals survive to the end of the storm than witches. They also win if they figure out who all the witches are.

Witches: The witches win if equal or more witches survive to the end of the storm than mortals. However, their victory can be thwarted by the mortals deducing their identities. The witches know who all other witches are and can talk in a secret chat as a team to coordinate who to kill each Twilight Phase.

There are two phases:

1. Twilight Phase - During this time each player will target someone with their action. Each character will have a unique power which targets one or two characters. This action will be assigned at the beginning at the game secretly, and performed secretly. The witches will plot to kill some characters during this time.

2. Discussion Phase - After the Twilight Phase, some characters will have died, and the living characters have the chance to discuss who they think killed them and what happened during the night. They then have the option to execute somebody by popular vote (in hopes of killing one of the witches). Unlike the first Black Fable, no power or faction information will be given upon character death.


Unlike the first Black Fable, this one is pretty special because, in this game, character death is never permanent! As such, all players will be expected to be active throughout the entire game! The approximate length of the game will be 5 weeks.

The reason for this is the following:

Spoiler: The Twist
There will be three arcs. At the end of the storm, all characters will be resurrected, and the characters will go back to the First Twilight. From there, they will explore more possibilities and learn secrets from the dead. The faction which wins more arcs will have advantage during the final deduction phase, where everyone will debate who the witches are, and the mortals will try to pinpoint them.

When you die in the game, you are sent to the tea parlor of the afterlife, where you can discuss the current events of the game in-character with the other dead.


Well, does it sound cool to you guys?

If you want to play, please agree to the BF-MAMA:

Spoiler: BF-MAMA
1. Don’t be inactive.
2. If you have to be inactive for some reason, let me know so that I can make accommodations if possible.
3. Be respectful toward other players, i.e. no being a jerk.
4. Don’t use meta needs of communicating private information like screenshots, PMs, and stuff. Be sportsmanlike. The spirit of the game is in solving the mystery, so using information behind the scenes can ruin the fun of the game. This is the most crucial rule. I don't expect to have problems, but please respect it!
5. Don’t be spiteful if something bad happens to your character. Don’t try to ruin things for other people. Remember that everyone is here to have fun. Characters will do mean things to other characters in the course of the game due to the nature of a game of deception, but that is all in the fun of the game!
6. Try your best to win! The nature of the game is that some people must lose. This means that you can't expect to win, but you should always try your best to work with your teammates and work towards a possible victory, if ever so slight. Never act wittingly in contradiction to your winning objective.


Alright y'all, with that, let's do sign-ups! This game can accommodate 13-18 players, so however many we get, I'm fine with. If you have an idea for who you would like to be in the family, you can make note of it here, and we can do our best to build the family tree here in the thread! Edit: If you have time before the cast is finalized and the game starts, post what the other characters would know about your character in this thread. Thank you!

Thanks!

Oh yeah since we’re talking about who in the family we wanna be, I’m gonna not do that and say I wanna be a butler. If there’s a bunch then preferably a higher ranking one, but not THE highest ranked one.

Suppose the best comparison to those who know Unineko would be like, a servant who could wear the one winged eagle. Not necessarily old but maybe I’ll wanna be old I dunno. You can probably just put down “butler” in that role list.

Someone is gonna have to serve tea at this murder party.

editing in to say that "Second in command" i don't know why that didn't come to mind earlier that's legit what i meant the whole time i dunno why i was struggling to say that

Alright the player list contains the characters that people are potentially going to play.

Super excited about all this interest! Seems like we will hit thirteen players at this rate.

I'll try to give you all your powers a little bit before the start of the actual game.

Also, if you wish to voice your preference for Mortal or Witch privately to me, you may. I can't guarantee you'll get what you want, but I will try to be accommodating to player preferences.

I think I'd like to sign up as the eldest child of Gloria. Probably the eldest son but I can be flexible if it makes the tree better connected. And then he/she would be married and be a father/mother.

Okay so then Panda, you and Igniter's characters are probably related. She's going for a certain vibe so maybe if you're flexible coordinate with her.

Yeah Igniter's choice is what made me consider being flexible. If no-one else plans to take the role of eldest daughter then that fits what I wanted to do anyway.

Ah, by flexible I meant that my character could be the eldest son (and child) and then there's also an eldest daughter, or my character could just be the eldest daughter. I'm not sure what Igniter's intentions were but originally it said her plans were "eldest daughter of eldest daughter".

They were but for her character it doesn't matter since she wanted that spot for inheritance and whether her relation to Gloria is through her mom or dad doesn't change that I think.

Update!

EDIT: Actually we changed our minds about whether or not we want it to be a sugar relationship. All you need to know for now is that she used to be his secretary.

EDIT 2: Her (married) name is Wyn Moonview.

Hey everyone who signed up already!

If you have any character details worked out that the other characters would know about, please post them here! Let the family know what they would know about you! I will about Gloria's character here as well if you wish to know more about her.

Alright, thought that I'd give an update on my character.

Basically, my character is a 43 years old musician who plays the guitar for a living. However, back when he was 21, he got into a argument with SC's character over how he'll never get anywhere in life as a musician and maybe how much his music sucks. This argument would cause him to leave the Moonview Family Manor, where he'll becomes a distant relative. Gloria probably supported my character's decision to pursue a career as a musician. Gloria probably got two letters form him; one would be about his success as a musician and one about how he have a family of his own.

It was then when he was invited back to the Moonview Family Manor for a gathering held by his aunt Gloria, he never thought that he'd return to the place that he left because of the argument.

Edit: And his name would be Vincent Moonview

My character's called Bertram Moonview.

He's the oldest child of Gloria, and as such believes he's first in line when it comes to inheritance. He's quite arrogant, except when it comes to Gloria where he's always been a bit of a suck-up. He's the CEO of a large company, and believes such a role was/is expected of him as the eldest child. This is also why he lives in the family manor, he believes its his duty and privilege as eldest child.

He has three children. (Details about his wife are TBD.) Just as he believes the eldest child should inherit from Gloria, he believes his own eldest child is the one who should follow in his footsteps and inherit from him in turn. He raises her strictly, and has tutors in the family manner educate her so she can one day take over as CEO of his company. Because his other two children aren't filling this role he doesn't worry about doing the same for them, and actually rather spoils them.

Even if he didn't start / wasn't involved in the argument with Hanzo's character, he'd definitely side with SC's character on the matter. In his eyes being a musician is a terrible life choice for someone from a prestigious family like their's.

My character is a servant, who goes by Archer. He changed his name to reflect on his new status as a servant, abandoning his old one.

Hired seventeen years ago when he was young (15, currently 32), he's experienced and professional. He's served the family that's lived in the manor, which would be Gloria, Panda (Bertram), Igniter's character, as well as the wife nobody is playing and the two young children. On top of anyone else who would currently be living in the manor but I'm unsure if there's anyone.

He puts his loyalty above all else and serves the family to the best of his abilities. He takes his work very seriously, though isn't afraid to crack a joke or speak out of line occasionally, but wouldn't do so in front of Gloria/Bertram. He will do what he's told but he will prioritize what's best for the family.

He's been in service longer than Pancakes' character, and acts as a superior to them.

Asking for info on Gloria to know if she's a shut in loser or if she's a super energetic lady who runs laps around the mansion or something.

My character is called James Moonview and he's 35.
He once had a promising career in finance but when his father died and he inherited his company he wasted all his (and the company's) money on gambling and women and now he's in severe debt. He often visits Gloria and Bertram in order to ask them for money promising them that 'this time he'll win big' and be able to pay them back and he desperately wants a big share of the inheritance. James tries to exhibit a laidback persona and tries to convince everyone he's doing well financially but most people in the family can see through this lie. He tries to be friends with Bertram because of his social status and to increase the likelihood of Bertram giving him money.
Edit: I'd also like to say that James only really got involved with Gloria's side of the family when he first got into debt (which was around 5 years ago) so he wouldn't have met Vincent and Maurice.
