"You did it! After countless fights with soldiers and zombies controlled by the Monolith, you finally did it! You, a small strike force from the re-formed Clear Sky initiative, penetrated the Zone to the very center. There, in the bowels of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, you found something amazing. An Artifact of incredibly power, that pulses like a slow beating heart. Yog Slothowich, your most experienced scientist, has termed it the "Heart of the Zone". This is, what you came looking for. A keystone to the strange powers that cause all these anomalies. If you bring it back to the Clear Sky camp, you may, with time, unlock it's secrets and find a way to pacify the zone. To put an end to these dangerous emissions.
However, in removing the "Heart of the Zone" from, well, the heart of the Zone, you seem to have changed it already. The paths you came on are closed by new anomalies. But Yog somehow manages to use the Heart to guide you through these ever altering anomalies. Your progress is slow and from time to time the ground rumbles, announcing a new emission. Every time you scramble to find some cellar or cave to hide underground and wait until the emission is over.
But this time it's different. You found shelter, an abandoned house on the edge of the Red Forest, but it had no deep cellar. You huddle in the shallow basement and hope for the best. Then the emission strikes and your lights go out. When you come to, you find something terrible: your scientist, the only person who understood the Heart enough to guide you through the Red Forest, is dead. Yog has been viciously murdered and carved into his forehead are the words: "Bring it back!" ... there is only one conclusion: not all of you were unconscious during that emission. Some of you are immune, like the Monolith scum is. Some of you have been secretly converted and want to bring the heart back to the Monolith! Some of you want to prevent you from leaving the Zone and for now they have succeeded. You are stuck between the Forest and the Swamp, both filled with deadly anomalies.
But not all is lost. The Heart is still there, your positions is defensible and if you hold out long enough, you might learn to use The Heart yourself to find a way out. You have plenty of food and a shelter, shallow as it is, that will at least keep you alive until you learn to use The Heart. But for that you first have to find the traitors in your midst and eliminate them. Luckily, those corrupted by the Monolith can be identified by dissecting their brain. Unluckily that is, of course, lethal. So your only way is to decide, who among you is the most suspicious and has to be examined in this lethal way.
Additionally, some of you feel, that they have been changed by the last emission. They feel new powers coursing through their veins. But you also feel, that such powers come at a price and, with the unsteady nature of the Zone, may not be there to stay. The next emission might change everything and who knows what tomorrow will bring?"

Rules
1. Cryptoclaiming is forbidden. (whatever that is. See Administration Thread)
2. Betting among players is strictly forbidden.
3. Lifthrasil is the Embodyment of The Zone (and Moderator of this game)! Feel free to contact me by the GOG forum PM system at any time! I will answer as soon as I can.
4. All players have a vote, which they may use against any player. A vote may be withdrawn by unvoting. Once a player acquires more than 50% of the votes, the player will be lynched and the game will proceed to the next Emission. No amount of unvoting can prevent this. During an Emission, no posting is allowed in the thread!
5. A player may also vote nolynch. A majority of nolynch votes will end the day without a proper lynch.
6. Please remember to bold your votes and unvotes like this: Unvote JoeSapphire, Vote SirPrimalform.
7. When you are dead, you are dead - stop posting. A single "bah!” post is permitted and encouraged right after your death. Your death notification will include a link to the “Dead Thread” (i.e. the observation lounge) where you may continue to spectate and postulate in a relatively spoiler free environment.
8. Don't edit your posts! This is very important! Editing a post is grounds for being struck dead by a sudden anomaly (i.e. you will be modkilled)
Due to the forum software I must also ask you not to double post. This is because two consecutive posts from the same user in a short time frame will merge, creating the appearance of an edited post. The time limit after which this stops happening is 10 minutes.
Accidents happen, but repeated double-posting/edited posts will anger The Zone. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
9. If you wish to ask me a question in game, please bold your text or PM me.
10. Do not discuss the game with anyone outside the thread, except for people specified in your role PM, and then only at such times as the PM specifies.
11. Do not quote or paraphrase too closely any PMs you receive from the mod. If you are afraid your paraphrasing is too close, contact me and I’ll check it out. Directly quoting your PM or paraphrasing too closely will annoy The Zone and is grounds for modkill.
12. All players should post at least once every 48 hours. If you expect to be away for more than 48 hours, please let me know either through PM or in the game thread. Failure to do this will result in me sending you an electrical jolt (prod PM). If that doesn't cause a reaction in another 2 days, you will be replaced.
13. If you can no longer participate in the game, let me know and I will and try to find a replacement.
14. All players in the winning team win, assuming any other win conditions have also been satisfied. Anyone who is modkilled loses, no matter what team he was on.
15. Please remember it’s just a game. Be polite and remain calm. Anyone not being polite is just trying to get YOU to make a mistake so they can lynch you. Don’t fall into the trap. Politely lynch them or night kill them for their rudeness.
***************************************************************************************************
Tl;dr version: be nice, post regularly but don't double post!
