The Rules:
The format for this was unceremoniously stolen from Lifthrasil. I would thank him, but I'm an ungrateful nitwit.
1. Cryptoclaiming is strictly forbidden.
2. Betting amongst players is strictly forbidden.
3. CSPVG is the moderator of this game. His word is law. If you would like to ask him any questions via PM, you are free to do so.
4. Every player has a vote. This vote can be placed on any other player. Once a player has acquired more than 50% of the votes, that player will be lynched. Once a person reaches the amount of votes required to be lynched, they will be lynched. No amount of unvoting can undo a lynch decision.
5. Players' votes must be bolded, e.g Vote: CSPVG. If you wish to vote for someone else, you must first unvote the person you are currently voting for, e.g Unvote: CSPVG.
6. Players may also vote to nolynch. If a majority of people vote to nolynch, no player shall be lynched that day.
7. Once you are dead, you're dead. One 'bah!' type post is permitted and encourage after your death. Do not despair, however, as you shall be PMed a link to the Great Game Show in The Sky (i.e. the dead thread), where you can continue discussing the game with your fellow dead people.
8. Do not edit your posts. If you do, you shall be murdered by the Edit Elves (i.e modkilled), who take exception to editing (it's a religious thing, I think).
Do not post within ten minutes of yourself, as GOG's forum software shall merge your posts, making it appear as if you have edited them.
Accidents happen, but repeated violation of this rule is not accepted.
9. In-thread questions are permitted. I do, however, ask that you bold them.
10. You are not allowed (unless otherwise specified in your PM) to discuss this game with anyone outside of this thread.
11. Do not directly quote or paraphrase your role PMs too closely. If you are afraid that your paraphrasing of your role PM is too close too close to the original PM, feel free to contact me and I'll check it to make sure that it is not. Directly quoting from, or paraphrasing too closely from, your role PM is grounds for a severe tongue-lashing if not death. Be careful.
12. As a participant in this game, you are expected to be active. All players should post at least once every forty-eight (48) hours. If you expect to be busy/away/etc. for more than 48 hours, let me know either in the game thread or via PM.
If you have not posted in 48 hours, and have not informed me as to any reason for your absence, you shall be reminded that this makes for poor television via your earpiece-microphone setup (i.e you shall be prodded via PM).
If you are absent for several days and have not responded to your prods, you shall be replaced.
13. If you wish to leave the game for any reason, let me know via PM so that I may find a replacement player.
14. All players on the winning team, whether they are alive or dead, win.
15. From time to time, Mafia games can get quite heated. However, I plead that you remain polite with one another.
16. For each player lynched, one day shall be deducted from the amount of days until deadline. The first day's deadline is in fourteen (14) days.
Note: If you received no PM stating that you had won a power, you are nothing more than an ordinary Vanilla Townie/Mafia Goon, with all of the 'powers' those roles have.

The host is horribly drunk. He's tottering about on stage, shepherded by two young women that the show insists on calling the "Mayhem Babes".
"Those boring video inserhurts dun yet?" he asks, to the visible embarrassment of the Mayhem Babes, who nod. "Thank the Heavens, we can get on wifth this shoooow."
There's an uncomfortable silence, filled only by the cough of an audience member and the chiming noises made by the young women's earrings.
"Say the line, dammit," someone barks into the host's earpiece.
"Don't talk to me like that, you little shit," says the host, seemingly to no one, which sends the crowd into a quiet fit of laughter. "I know my work, I know I say, 'And now, without further ado- who the hell even says ado anymore, but never mind- we bring you the spectacular that is Murder, Mayhem, Prizes!' and then the-"
On instruction, the cameraman pans away quickly, but someone forgets to cut the host's microphone as he launches into his approximation of the show's theme music. The camera now zooms in on the screen, intentionally over focusing so that it becomes nothing but a hazy blur of colour. The show cuts to black.
There's a title card, and then the show cuts to the live video feed, switching between the various cameras that are placed around the room in what the viewer can only assume is a fit of overzealous pride in the production's scope. We are presented with an ordinary looking dining room, where a dinner party seems to be taking place. The participants sit down the length of a table, seven to a side, there's tasteful vague art along each wall, and a set of large double doors at one end of the room. The only thing that is out of place is a square metal object which is attached to the wall at the end of the room.
From this box emanates a robotic voice, "Participants, a person has been murdered by three of the people in this room. It is up to you to find out which one of you has perpetrated this horrible crime. Begin."
With that, an ominous strain of music is played over the image, and the show begins to cut back and forth between the participants' faces. They seem reticent to speak, or perhaps just confused.
Then one of them says...
