Goose’s Court
In Goose’s Court, players take on the identities of the people of the kingdom and assassinate one another to fulfill their personal agendas.
General
This game will take place over an Auction phase, an Interim Round, and 8 rounds.
As soon as the 24h pregame ends, there will be an Auction period. The roles for auction will be revealed at the beginning of the Auction period.
Gold is the currency for this game. Each player will begin with 20 gold, initially for use in the Role Auction.
Before the end of the game, players must lock into one of the two Aspects for their roles. Each role has two Aspects that decide the player’s win conditions. These win conditions depend on the survival or death of other roles. Locking into an Aspect early provides additional resources according to the Aspect’s unique traits. If a player dies before locking into a Aspect, they will be not be eligible for a Token of Life.
Across the course of the game, players hire Assassins and Guards. Assassins are used to target other players (not roles) and deplete their lives. Guards are used to shield oneself from assassination.
When a player is killed, they may not interact or converse with any living players; however, dead players may interact and converse with other dead players as well as disturb the living by haunting locations.
At the end of each round, players move to a new location. Newly killed players are announced.
Order of operations:
- 24h Pregame
- Auction Phase (locked communications)
- Interim Phase
- Eight Round Game
Within each round,
a. The location effects resolve (along with any blessings or curses).
b. Guards are hired.
c. Assassins are hired.
d. Players move to their new locations.
- The Main Match ends.
Role Abilities and Aspect effects trigger at the beginning or end of a round, depending on the ability or effect (this will be detailed under each individual Role Ability and Aspect).
Role Auction
Each player will submit a numbered priority list of preferred roles and a bid. The bids will determine the roles players receive.
This Auction will be held using gold and garnets; each player begins with 20 gold with which they use to participate in the Auction. Players will keep all leftover gold into the game. A garnet purchase during the Auction accounts for 5 additional gold toward any one role. No gold bid during the Auction period will be refunded.
The player with the highest bid will receive their first priority role. The player with the next highest bid will receive their highest priority role that has not yet been delegated to a player.
Ties in this auction will be broken by moving down this list:
- Players’ lists will be compared. The player whose priority list contains the highest ranked (smallest number) role still available to be received will receive the role first.
- Randomly.
For example,
If hedger and uriquack have tied bids, hedger’s list is 1. A 2. B 3. C 4. D and uri’s list is 1. A. 2. C 3. B 4. D, and A and C have already been dealt to other players, hedger will first receive B as it is his second priority role while uriquack’s highest available priority role is third; then, uriquack’s priority list will be evaluated and her role dealt.
During the Auction period, all pair channels and alliance resource channels will be locked. #player-lounge, spec channels and private resource channels will remain open. Players are not allowed to use codes to transfer messages in #player-lounge. As soon as the 24h Auction period ends and the Interim Round begins, players may freely discuss among themselves once more.
Interim Round
The Interim Round signals the end of the role auction; all pair and alliance channels are unlocked, and players' roles are privately announced. In the Interim Round, players make a single submission: their starting location for Round 1. Players may also lock into an Aspect during the Interim Round if they so wish. (If you do so, the Aspect’s effect will trigger as if you locked into it on Round 1.)
Locations
Once you visit a location, you may not visit the same location until you have visited all other locations. At the beginning of each round, all players’ locations are announced. You may only converse with players in your location. You may not speak in alliance chats or public channels with players that are not in your location.
Market: Gain 10 gold at the start of the round.
Palace: Gain 5 gold at the start of the round. If you are a noble, gain 1 guard’s worth of protection from commoners in this round only.
River: Gain 5 gold at the start of the round. If you are a commoner, gain 1 guard’s worth of protection from nobles in this round only.
Hiring Assassins and Guards
You may only hire Guards and Assassins for players, not roles. You may assassinate or guard players not in your location.
Guards price: 18 gold - give 1 protection each
Assassins price: 12 gold - deal 1 damage each
Guards are always hired before Assassins, meaning players will always gain protection before dealing damage.
At the end of each round, all players’ deaths will be announced. (The roles of the dead will not be announced.)
When a player is attacked, they will be told the number of Assassins that attacked them. Players may (privately) ask for health checks at any time.
Haunting
When a player is dead they may no longer hire assassins and guards nor converse with the living, but they may select and haunt locations. All dead players may converse with each other both publicly and privately (there will be a public channel made for the dead).
Each round, select a living player, select a location, and choose to bless or curse. In the next round, if your selected player goes to the selected location, they will receive the effect of your blessing or curse. When a player is blessed or cursed, they will be informed that they are blessed or cursed.
Blessings and curses do not stack. If a living player is successfully both blessed and cursed in the same round by any number of ghosts, both effects are negated.
Curse Effects
Market: Your selected player’s gold gain is reduced from 10 to 7.
Palace: Your selected player’s Aspect is suppressed for this round only.
River: Your selected player’s role ability is suppressed for this round only.
Blessing Effects
Market: Your selected player’s gold gain is increased from 10 to 13.
Palace: Your selected player’s gold gain is increased from 5 to 7.
River: Your selected player’s gold gain is increased from 5 to 7.
Endgame
At the end of the game, all players’ roles will be revealed.
Players who have fulfilled their Aspect’s win conditions will become winners and each receive a Token of Life.
All surviving players earn one garnet each. All winning players earn one garnet each (in addition to survival if they survived).
Winning players will then vote for the Elimination Candidate among the dead. If there are no dead, winning players may choose the Elimination Candidate among all players without a Token a Life. If the vote is tied, the tiebreaker will be the least gold spent (the player who spent the least gold during the Main Match including the Auction Phase will become EC).
Clarification:
Players are not allowed to use codes to transfer messages in #player-lounge.
This means, "Do not make an attempt to use language, images, or methods of any kind to intentionally convey hidden messages to specific individuals."
If you're not certain what may or may not be considered a hidden message, feel free to ping me and check.
Clarification:
To win, you must fulfill all conditions of your locked Aspect. These conditions are checked at the end of the Main Match.
Clarification: The Merchant’s 3 conditions must be selected when you lock into your Aspect.
Clarification: No abilities with "trigger next round" statements can be used in the Interim Phase.
Update:
A garnet purchase during the Auction accounts for 5 additional gold toward any one role.
This has archaic wording; a garnet purchase counts toward your entire list, not a singular role.
Clarification: You can hire for all players (both in your location and not in your location).
Clarification: The order of operations for roles’ and aspects’ abilities proceeds as follows:
Abilities that specify timing (for example, start/end of round) fall (for start of the round) before a. location effects resolving and (for end of the round) before d. players move to their new locations. Generally, material gains are processed first, then informational scans. However, there are exceptions; please feel free to ping me and clarify specific cases.
Clarification:
Palace: Gain 5 gold at the start of the round. If you are a noble, gain 1 guard’s worth of protection from commoners in this round only.
River: Gain 5 gold at the start of the round. If you are a commoner, gain 1 guard’s worth of protection from nobles in this round only.
These guards are gained and used up in the round you visit the location that gives them.
used up for yourself and yourself only

The Round Table has fallen into disarray; the Knights have devolved into a seething group of madmen, ready to use all of the kingdom’s resources to settle personal grievances. Society as you know it would be sure to crumble if they were allowed to war with one another as they wished. However, Merlin recognized this, and enlisted the help of the eleven of you in order to lessen the damages by giving each of you full control of one of the Knights. Of course, Merlin knows you are not interested in charity work. He produces two items from underneath his cloak: a sack of garnets, and a sharp, recently bloodied Lance of King Arthur. It is clear to you now that the reward for victory is riches, and the reward for failure is the right to contribute a fresh coat of blood to the Lance.
The goal of the game is to fulfill your personal agenda, which is determined by the Knight you play as. This game will take place over an Auction Round, an Interim Round, and 8 rounds of gameplay. As soon as the 24h pregame ends, the Auction Round will begin. The Knights for auction will be revealed at the start of the round.
The currency in this game is shillings. Each player will start with 20 shillings, initially for use in the auction.
Before the end of the game, players must lock into one of the two Crests for their Knight. Each Knight has two Crests that decide the player’s win conditions. These win conditions depend on the survival or death of other Knights. Locking into a Crest early provides additional resources according to the Knight’s unique traits. If a player dies before they lock into a Crest, they will not be eligible to win a Token of Life.
During the game, players will hire Assassins and Guards. Assassins are used to attack other players (not Knights), and Guards are used to shield oneself from Assassins.
Players start the game with a base of 3 health. Your health can never increase during the game, only decrease. A player dies when their health reaches 0. When a player is killed, they may no longer interact or communicate with any living players. However, dead players may interact and communicate with other dead players, as well as disturb the living players by haunting locations.
At the end of each round, players will move to new locations, and all the deaths which occurred during the round will be publicly announced.

- End of game
Knight abilities and Crest effects trigger at the beginning or end of a round, depending on the ability/effect. This will be explained in further detail under each ability/effect.
Each player will submit a priority list of Knights alongside a bid. The bids will determine the Knights each player receives.
Players will be allowed to bid in the Auction with both shillings and garnets; players start the game with 20 shillings, and each garnet that a player bids will be equivalent to 5 shillings. Any of your 20 starting shillings which you do not bid will carry over into the game. Any shillings that are bid or garnets that are bid will be consumed.
The player with the highest bid will receive their highest priority Knight. The player with the next highest bid will receive the highest priority Knight on their list which has not already been claimed. This process repeats for all players.
Ties will be broken by which player has the highest priority available Knight, and randomly if the tie persists.
For example, if Reds and Marcer bid the same amount, Knight A and Knight C have been previously claimed, and their priority lists are:
Reds: 1. Knight A 2. Knight B 3. Knight C 4. Knight D
Marcer: 1. Knight A 2. Knight C 3. Knight B 4. Knight D
Reds would receive Knight B first, since his first available Knight has a priority of 2, while Marcer’s has a priority of 3. (Marcer would then receive Knight D.)
During the Auction Round, all pair and alliance channels will be locked. Public channels, spec channels, and private resource channels will stay unlocked. Players may not use codes to communicate in #player-lounge. As soon as the Auction Round ends and the Interim Round begins, these channels will be unlocked.
The Interim Round signals the end of the Auction Round; all channels locked for the Auction Round will be unlocked, and players will be told which Knight they will play as.
In the Interim Round, the only thing players will submit is their starting location for Round 1. Players may also lock into a Crest during this time, however the effect will trigger as if you locked into it during Round 1.
Once you visit a location, you may not visit the same location again until you have visited all other locations.
At the beginning of each round, all players’ locations will be announced. You may only communicate with players in your location. You may not speak in any channel with players that are not in your location.
Avalon (Island, in green): Gain 10 shillings at the start of the round.
Tintagel Castle (Castle, in blue): Gain 5 shillings at the start of the round. If you are a Greater Knight, gain 1 Guard’s worth of protection from Lesser Knights in this round only.
Merlin’s Cave (Cave, in indigo): Gain 5 shillings at the start of the round. If you are a Lesser Knight, gain 1 Guard’s worth of protection from Greater Knights in this round only.
You may only hire Assassins and Guards for players, not roles. You may assassinate or guard players that are in any location. You may not assassinate or guard dead players.
You may hire a maximum of four Assassins and Guards combined each round, and you may not hire four of the same one in a round. Assassins and Guards acquired by Knight or Crest abilities/effects do not count towards either of these caps. Assassins and Guards do not carry over between rounds, and must be used in the round they are hired.
Assassins cost 12 shillings and deal 1 damage each.
Guards cost 15 shillings and grant 1 protection each.
Guards are always hired before Assassins, which means players will always receive protection before taking damage.
At the end of each round, all player deaths will be announced. Which Knight dead players were playing as will remain secret.
When a player is attacked, they will be told how many Assassins attacked them. Players may request health checks at any time in their confessionals.
When a player dies, they may no longer hire Assassins or Guards, or communicate with the living, but they may now haunt locations. All dead players can communicate with one another, both publicly and privately (including a provided channel for the dead).
Each round, each dead player can select a living player, a location, and whether they wish to bless or curse.
If, in the next round, the selected player visits the selected location, they will receive the location’s blessing or curse. Players will be informed when they are successfully blessed or cursed.
Blessings and curses do not stack. If a living player is successfully both blessed and cursed in the same round, by any number of dead players, both effects will be negated.
Blessings
Avalon: Gain 3 shillings.
Tintagel Castle: Gain 2 shillings.
Merlin’s Cave: Gain 2 shillings.
Curses
Avalon: Lose 3 shillings.
Tintagel Castle: Your Crest’s effect is suppressed for this round only.

At the end of the game, all players’ roles will be revealed.
Players who have fulfilled all of their Crest’s win conditions (this will be checked at the end of the match) will become winners and each receive a Token of Life.
All surviving players earn one garnet each. All winning players earn one garnet each (in addition to the garnet from surviving, if applicable).
Winning players will then vote for the Elimination Candidate from the dead players. If there are no dead players, they will vote from all players without a Token of Life. If the vote ties, the tie will be broken against the player who spent the least shillings during the match, including the Auction (this means that the player who spent the least shillings will become the Elimination Candidate).
Crests
Each Knight has multiple win conditions (except Sir Ector). Each win condition has a unique Crest. Starting from the Interim Round, you may LOCK IN your win condition, granting you a secondary effect through the win condition’s Crest.

Crest of Restoration
The Knights must undergo reform for the good of the people. Gain 1 shilling for each player in your location at the start of each round.
