1. The mod is still god. There are some unusual roles and mechanics in this game. Feel free to PM me, but don't just assume I've made a mistake. I'll answer in thread if I have, but may not if it is intended behavior. I will not
   lie
   to you, but I may not tell you the whole truth, either.
   The mech tag is reserved for my use!
   
   
2. Voting occurs as normal in this game; I encourage you to use the {vote} tags so that they are easier to spot.
   
3. Once a majority has voted for someone, they will be removed from the game. There are no unvotes after that moment. At deadline, I may lower the vote total required slightly.
   
4. Dead men (and those doing time in Federal prison) tell no tales. A brief 'Bah!' post is acceptable, but no game-related information can be shared.
   
5. Nights will last around 72 hours, perhaps somewhat shorter in the late game. If you need an extension, let me know. Because of the complicated mechanics I encourage you to submit your choices earlier than 72 if possible; I will even take 'Twilight' choices by PM, within reason (such as
   "If X flips Town, target Y, otherwise do nothing")
   .
   
6. This game is on a real-life timer, with each day of play being exactly equivalent to a day in the game world. In addition it will use bankable deadlines; Day 1 will last up to 21 days, but after that each Day will only add 14 days to the remaining time. Prods will come if you don't show up for 48 hours, exclusive of weekends or announced absences. Replacement can be forced for inactivity or excessive lurking.
   
7. Acting like a goon does not require personal attacks, flames, or spamming. Violators will be re-educated with extreme prejudice.
   
8. Don't edit or delete existing posts. See Rule 7.
   
9. Don't quote to this thread any PMs/QuickTopics/private conversations you may have access to. See Rules 7 and 8.
   
10. Don't discuss this game out of thread unless you have permission from the mod. See rules 7, 8, and 9 for clarification.
    
11. No strong cryptography or steganography in this game thread. Questions about what qualifies should be directed to me by PM.
    
12. If you're going to be gone for a significant length of time, let everyone know. Management not responsible for other players believing your claim of absence, however.
    
13. Don't make me modkill you. If you want to 'fake' breaking a rule, you'd better clear it with me first, otherwise I may just believe you myself.
    
14. Have fun with it; this is a bit different type of game.

This game does not have an Open Setup; however, for balance reasons, here are two sample Role PMs:

Sample Townie

You're

Marion Trozollo

, organizer and visionary behind the River Quay Merchants Association that is revitalizing the riverfront district. After decades of neglect, your ideas and investments have brought in craftspeople, restauranteurs, and artists in numbers that surprise even you! However it has also led to the involvement of some unscrupulous characters; mobsters and petty thugs, go-go dancers and drug users. The disorder and implicit violence of these people threatens to bring your fragile recovery crashing down around your ears. Best to use your influence and intelligence to try to make sure they go somewhere else.

Win Condition:

You win when the gangsters and major criminals are dead, convicted, or neutralized.

Powers:

• Visit
  _{(active, night)}: You may choose to 'visit' any named/numbered location on the map at Night if you wish, but you have no action or influence there. You may not converse with anyone at Night unless told otherwise.
  (in an ordinary game, you would be considered a

  Townie

  )

Home Base:

You start and end most evenings at the River Quay Merchant's Association, #22 on the map.

Sample Power Role

You're

Nicholas Civillia

, Don of the Kansas City underworld. Having held control of the town's organized crime factions with a velvet-covered iron fist for more than two decades, you fear nothing and no one. While you must ultimately answer to the Chicago Outfit, they are far away and do not care to get involved in how you run your 'business' from day to day. This uppity ""River Quay Merchant Association"", however, has been stirring up trouble in the very part of Kansas City where you grew up. It may be time to knock a few heads...

Win Condition:

You win when the Town has been eliminated, or nothing can prevent that from happening.

Powers:

• Faction Kill
  _{(active, night, via PM)}
  :
  You are a
  Godfather
  ; as such, each Night you may order the murder of one Townsperson. Select a member of your criminal organization to perform the kill, and they will do their best to see that it is done. If you die, this ability will pass to one of your lieutenants.
  
• Investigation Immunity
  _{(passive, night)}
  :
  Due to your connections and influence, you will come up as Innocent to any Kansas City Police Department investigations, unless you are caught red-handed committing the Night Kill.
  
• Tour the Neighborhood:
  _{(active, night)}
  :
  You may choose to have your driver transport you around the area at Night if you like; this will increase your visibility, but may not improve your efficiency at directing actions. The location you visit will know you were there, but unless you choose to use one of your other abilities, you will have no effect by showing up.
  
• Kill Immunity
  _{(passive, night, single-use)}
  :
  You also have a one-shot Night Kill Immunity through the efforts of your driver/bodyguard.
  
• Faction Allies
  _{(special, night)}
  :
  Individual members of your organization may also have additional skills to offer you; discuss them at Night in this QuickTopic.

Home Base:

You start and end most evenings at the Godfather Lounge, #14 on the map.

Chrono.P.I reporting for duty.

::Nom's Rum-infused Cupcake::

*is reporting

My plan consists of leading the town, taking control of the turf, and arbitrarily distributing the wealth. Who's with me?

As you are a confirmed CR, I cannot, in good conscience, agree to your plan. Although I like the bit about Wealth.

Sexy confirm dance.

I hope that sexy confirm dance makes its way to my bar for some post-confirmation drinks.

Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows.



It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it.



You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward.

How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done.

Here's the thing that makes life so interesting. The theory of evolution claims that only the strong shall survive... but the theory of competition says just because you're strong doesn't mean you win.



The other guy may in fact be the favorite. The odds may be stacked against us. But what the odds don't know is that this isn't a math test.

This is a completely different kind of test. One where passion has a funny way of trumping logic.



So before the game begins, just remember, out here, the results don't always add up!

No matter what the stats may say, no matter what the experts may think, or what the commentators may have predicted, when the race is on ALL BETS ARE OFF!



Don't be surprised if someone decides to flip the script, and take a pass on saying uncle! And then suddenly, as the old saying goes, we've got ourselves a game.

It is not our darkness that most frightens us.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

There are numeral factors that contribute to the challenges that we face today, tomorrow, and each day beyond that.

Alone, we are but human, but together we are the will of humanity.

We have within us, unique from anything else on this planet, the undying tenacity, the reckless hope to face down each challenge with vigor.

If one of us shall fall, another will take our place, and another, and another!

This is our cause! Life! Be it one life or a billion, its all the same!



This body is only a shell. You cannot to touch us. You cannot harm us. We are not afraid.

JOIN US! THERE IS HOPE!

Present.

/confirm, happily watching BBM dance

You set your life up real nice in this town, and you don't think about that. The cost of peace, of freedom, it's your debt that my clan has paid for generations. Now Nicky's outta the picture. I collect the taxes now.

Now I won't quote from Rocky, so some of you might want to join me right off the bat.



Back then, I was a nobody when I joined Nicky.

I remember the first time I met him, he just showed me his Rolex. He said "Look at it", so I looked. Then he told me "Work hard, and you're gonna have it!"



Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people don't feel insecure around you. We're all meant to shine. Like children. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

This city will be mine or it will burn in the fire and cold metal that built it.



I advise you to choose the right side in this war.

There's a building labeled by a question mark under 22 on the map. What do you suppose is in that building?

You have lived in fear. You have lived oppressed. You have lived under the rule of tyrants and despots.

And should you wish to continue, Rampage will be certain to oblige you.

He promises to continue the status quo. To make you remember that your children aren't safe. That your doors need to be locked. That if you don't follow his rules he will make you regret it.



But there is another way.

We can make a better future.

You've seen the marks on the street.

We can make a chance. Together.



There is always Hope.

/confirm

I am seriously thinking about ignoring the mafia in order to pass a law restricting exotic dancers in the city. DGB is a menace.

Curious...

Is that you, Kinetic? Are you hiding in there? Cos I'm gonna smoke you out of whatever stinkhole you've bunkered yourself in, numbered or not.

My drugs. Keep out.

EDIT: Restrict being the key word, Fritz. Eliminate my competition.
