Posted August 31, 2012
Welcome all the the beautiful Sicilian late-summer. Thank you for flying with GOG Airlines, we hope you enjoyed your journey as much as you enjoy our internet service. The local time is lunchtime and the local temperature is just perfect. We wish you all the best of luck on this glorious day.
--------
This is a Game of Forum mafia. The game is in Over!! Town Win!
direct any queries you may have to the the General Discussion and Administration Pages.
It is finally time!
You've all been eagerly anticipating this for weeks!
The GOG FORUM MAFIA COMMUNITY'S LANDMARK 13TH GAME CELEBRATORY RETREAT IN SUNNY SICILY.
You arrive at the airport, and skip, light on your feet, through the beautiful town, with it's pale stone buildings that rise up like a stunningly beautiful, but unnaturally complex game of tetris.
You get to the internet café neighbourhood where the bulk of the events are to take place, but something is very very wrong.
The police are bumbling about, putting up baracades and taking them down again, trying to look severe and authoritative, and intimidating anybody who walks by.
As a group you speak about a million different languages, but the local dialect is not one of them. You manage to communicate enough to discover that something horrible has happened to a foreigner.
Players! You've all been sent a role PM. Here is a sample message:
Hello JoeSapphire
You are JoeSapphire, Neutral Moderator.
You were really excited to get to the GOG forum mafia Landmark 13th game Celebratory Retreat. You arrived in Sicily a day early to check out the area.
Unluckily for you, while you were sitting in an internet café checking your GOG messages.someone shot you in the back of the head with something that felt like a sub-machine gun. Well. Felt very painful. Very, very briefly.
WIN CONDITIONS: You win when the game ends without anything going horribly wrong.
POWERS:
You may edit your posts as much as you want for you have the supreme ancient secret strength of the moderators.
You get one Megavote. A Megavote counts as a billion votes and if it causes a player to be lynched that player may no longer compete in another mafia game ever, as long as that person lives.

Rules – A Modern take on The Classic gog Rules brought to us by Zchinque from the lands outside gog.
1. I AM JOESAPPHIRE Moderator of this game. OBEY ME!
Please feel free to contact me by the gog forums PM system at any time!
2. All players have a vote, which they may give to any player. A vote may be withdrawn by unvoting. Once a player has more than 50% of the votes, that player will be lynched and the game will go to night. No amount of unvoting can prevent this.
3. A player may also vote nolynch. A majority of nolynch votes will end the day without a lynch.
4. Please remember to bold your votes and unvotes like this: Unvote Rodzaju, vote Zchinque.
5. When you are dead, you are dead - stop posting. A single "bah"-post is permissible and encouraged.
6. Don't edit your posts! This is very important! Editing a post is grounds for being modkilled.
Due to the forum software I must also ask you not to double post. Two consecutive posts of 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 seems to be 10 minutes, but you might want to err on the side of caution!
7. Please bold any requests for votecounts or questions to the moderator.
8. 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.
9. Do not quote or paraphrase too closely any PMs you receive from the mod. If you are afraid that your paraphrasing is too close, contact JoeSapphire and he'll take a look at it.
10. All players should post at least once every 36 hours. If you expect to be away for more than 36 hours, please let me know either through PM or in the game thread.
Failure to do this will result in me sending you a prod via PM and in thread. I don't want to spend all my free time prodding yous so post up!
11. If you can no longer participate in the game, let me know and I will try to find a replacement who will help me murder you.
12. All players on the winning team win!
even if they are dead.
Players who are modkilled or has replaced out will automatically lose the game and ruin a good man's reputation.
13. Roles were randomly assigned with the traditional dice-and-a-tuppence-coin method.
14. You may not post in the game thread during night phases.
We have a few new players in this game, so if you don't get any of the technical Jargon you can look it up on the Mafia Wiki at http://mafiascum.net/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page

You blag your way onto the crimescene and find your way into a tiny, wide-windowed cream-walled café with small round wooden tables and little stools dotted about the floor. There are two bars of what, in Sicily, count as modern computers. There is a breezy relaxed atmosphere in the café, which punctuates the discovery of the body of a young man sitting at a computer. The torso and abdomen are pretty fine looking, quite handsome, elegant limbs, but the general head and face area of the body is spread about the café like a wide rolling landscape. A Very Very Red Sunset.
The incompetant Police have no idea regarding the identity of the victim, but you can see that he is signed in to the GOG Forums.
Someone wipes a piece of cerebellum from the screen and goes to the "My Account" section of the website.
The name in the top left corner of the screen reads: JOESAPPHIRE.
Shocked and confused you begin to discuss amongst yourselves what could have happened here.
Someone finds a clue. The printer has a portion of an email printed out that someone must have forgotten to collect. It reads.
I'VE FOUND OUR FIRST VICTIM. I'M GOING TO DO THIS ONE MYSELF. I HOPE THE REST OF THE MAFIA COMMUNITY WILL BE AS EASY AS THIS.
A
You all realise that Joe is not the only intended victim. That someone, a group of someones, is attempting to kill the lot of you. You quickly determine that the police are incompetant.
Thirdly you come to the conclusion that you have no idea who any of the people you're with are.
Panic and mistrust are sown like seeds, blooming into flowers at a speed which would baffle biologists and possibly begin an end to world famine. The killers are among you. No-one doubts that.
Succumbing to the Sicilian vibe, you order a couple of jugs of lemonade and a round of paninni, and start to talk.
Thus Begins the First Day
