Death Curse [20/20]

[Hectic]

Hectic finished writing up the signup post for his game and hit submit. Untrod Tripod burst into his work cubicle a few seconds later.

“Just received a notification about your game entering signups. Listen, Hectic, ignore all the haters. I’m sure you’ll do great.”

“Thanks,” Hectic paused, frowning, “Haters? I haven’t seen any of those.”

Untrod Tripod nodded gravely. “Yeah, pretty much the whole site’s rooting against you. No one’s saying it out loud, but you can just tell from people’s faces.”

“Oh.”

“Well, anyway, just wanted to voice my words of encouragement to lift your spirits. Good luck!” he said cheerily, as he long jumped out of the cubicle.

Setup

5 Mafia

15 Town

Nightless.
Each day, players vote to give someone a scroll containing a death curse. That person must pass the scroll to a second person, who must pass it to a third. Then, the 3 players who came in contact with the scroll simultaneously die and are flipped.
Mafia have a factional 1-shot private dayvig that they may use at any time. It may not be used on a player currently holding a scroll.

Scroll phases repeat until mafia have parity or majority over the town, or all the mafia are dead.

Hydras are not allowed. Players will have 7 days to pick the scroll bearer, and scroll bearers will have 2 days each to pass it on.
This game will be run with Wisdom of the Mod and Wisdom of the Crowd. If you are against a player joining who has /inned after you, please let me know.

"Hey, Hectic."

It was Untrod Tripod. He wore a disappointed and somewhat dark expression on his face.

"the worst asked you a question in post 3 which you have failed to answer."

"Oh, you're right, I was just sleeping, I'll get right on-"

"Moderators don't need sleep," Untrod Tripod sharply cut in, "This is your final warning. No more mod errors, alright?"

With that, he smiled widely and high jumped out of the cubicle. A little scared, Hectic returned to his monitor. Phase lengths, huh? That was a very good question. He started editing the relevant information into the OP.

[Hectic]

If town fails to curse someone by the end of the deadline, mafia will pick who becomes cursed.

[Hectic]

I'll allow placeholder votes using the HURT: tags in the event someone forgets to pass it on. The person it's passed to will simply default to the placeholder they've put down earlier.

If no placeholder vote was used, I'll pick the last living/non-cursed player the scroll bearer has voted in the game, to receive the scroll.

If the above is not applicable, I'll allow mafia to pick.

[Hectic]

Fantastic.

(If you have not posted your favourite curse already, I recommend that you do. Looking at:

PookyTheMagicalBear
Tayl0r Swift
Gloria Cleary
Ydrasse
shellyc

in particular.)

[Hectic]

Absolutely throwing book curses into the pot. Gonna make a trip to the really old part of my local library.

Cursing of people, objects, yourself, your friends, your enemies, concepts, and curses. Here is an example of a strong curse being cast on a duck:
