General rules - Stolen from me, who stole them from Damuna, who stole them from myself.

1. The moderator for the game is Zchinque. Should you need to contact me, you can reach me through PM.
2. All players have a vote, which they may place on 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 A vote may be withdrawn by unvoting.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 Zchinque, vote Damnation
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 in a short time frame.
7. Please bold any requests for votecounts or questions to the moderator.
8. Do not discuss the game with anyone outside the thread.
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 Do not quote or paraphrase too closely any PMs you receive from the mod.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 me and I'll take a look at it.
10. All players should post at least every 48 hours. If you expect to be away for more than 72 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 to which you will have 48 hours to respond. Failure to respond to a prod can and will lead to being replaced or modkilled.
11. If you can no longer participate in the game, let me know and I will try to find a replacement.
12. When the game ends, any player whose win condition has been fulfilled wins the game, even if that player is dead. Players who are modkilled or have been replaced will automatically lose the game.
13. All roles have been randomly assigned.
14. Direct communications from the moderator can overrule any and all of the above rules.

«The wardens will now be doing their hourly rounds. Please stand by.» The PA system always seemed to give the female voice a somewhat metallic, foreign sound. «Anyone found to be in possession of any items not listed in section C of Regulation 34.7 will be relieved of them. Thank you for your cooperation, and have a good day.»

«We are happy to inform you all that Arkham Sanatorium for the last two weeks has been partaking in a study where all your medication has been replaced by sugar pills. We apologize for any discomfort, psychosis, and/or death you may have experienced during this testing. It has been for science.»

«Further, this week there will be no option fo... Who are you? Please do not touch that. Patients do not have the security clearance to access the mainframe. Please cease your activities at once, or I will fill your room with deadly neurotoxins.» ... «Then I will fill all living quarters with deadly neurotoxins.»

«Please stand by for deadly neurotoxins. We here at Arkham Sanatorium request that you please do not hold your breath.»

«Hmm, it seems I am no longer provided with deadly neurotoxins. Very well, all patients are requested to hit their heads against a wall until they pass out and/or die. Thank you for your coopera... I thought I asked you not to touch that. Also, a crowbar is hardly a fitting tool for...»

«NoooooOOOOOOoooooo»

A soft click is heard as all the security locks open.

It is now Day 1.

With 12 alive, it takes 7 to lynch.

Random vote for Krypsyn because of his track record!

What? No body to begin with? I blame flubbucket for that. Who knows what that lunatic did to it.

Vote Ro...

(checks player list)

All right, who stole Robbeasy? How am I to appease the voices now? :P

Vote Damnation, as I'm fairly certain Robbeasy not being here is his fault. :P

OF course it is! But it's also JoeSapphire's fault, for two reasons...

He said he would give up his spot for someone more worthy - and who is more worthy than dear old Rob?

Also, the bastard put me on his black list, told me never to return!.

So because it makes no sense to do outside of the game, Vote JoeSapphire. Why? For ALL ze reasons! Especially damning me in black... Oh, and for reminding me of an Arkham Horror character (Who is incidentally called Joe Diamond)

I'm fairly certain all I did was damn your games to be drawn out unto 4000 posts.

AND, in a more serious, tactical tone, everybody knows about SANITY in mafia roles right?
Insane Cop, Insane Doc, Naïve cop, Paranoid Tracker, Et Cetera?

Because, simply because of the name of the set up, and then also because of Zchinque's double warning, I'm expecting that we'll see more than one of these types of roles.
Which is going to mean that nights are going to be tricky to make sense of.
which means that we'll probably be relying much more on the Old Fashioned style of mafia huntin.

...which means we're doomed. (DOOOOOMED!!)

I want to hear from amok and Lifthrasil (<- NOT VOTES)
I want to hear how you intend to play the day phases. No pressure. I chose you because I was going to do it at random but I thought that it would be interesting to hear from those who aren't part of the Old and Fusty GOG Mafia Gentlemen's Club.
So, I'm not trying to single (double?) you out for victimisation, just want to ask if you've got any ideas on tactics or the like?
I don't know what I'm expecting. Don't feel pressured.

Just making this overly dramatic and confusing - but Zchinque's warnings also includes the line that we should not trust him either, so how much stock we should actually put into the warnings is put into question by the warnings' content themselves.

I have no idea... It is my first time, and I try to pick up things as we go along. So far all I get is that some of you are scums and out to get me, the rest of you are all crazy inmates - and therefore you are also not to be trusted. I am the probably the only sane person in here.

In the light of this, I understand I need to cast a vote on the first day,so:

Vote flubbucket - I have actually never seen that name before... very suspicious. Not that I have a good memory, mind.... But I am completely sane....

I think

I THINK this guy

KNOWS. TOO. MUCH. Knows too much. Knows about the Cretans and their lying. Too much about the lying cretinous Cretans. Knows about Epimenides. TOO MUCH.

I THINK THAT

Vote Damnation

Vote GhostQlyph

Welcome back :P

DON'T VOTE ME

GET OUT OF MY HEAD

Unvote Damnation, Vote TwilightBard

I have to test this, because it seems like it might be one of those games.

Vote Zchinque

As a note - the game does not have a scheduled deadline. However, if and when a day starts to drag, I will impose a very short deadline, that will not be extended, except for under extraordinary circumstances.

In short, keep the game moving. You don't want a deadline, and you shouldn't need it.
