I have updated the rules post to reflect this.
    Thank you.

    Big thanks for the change, TinCow.

    Would be great to get away from the Swords of the Moon game. That was bottoms-up before the game started because I used humour and people pounced on that.

    Unless you get very annoyed at your result in SotM, you will get away.

    Read Capo II. I managed to infiltrate the mafia ranks and when I revealed all the information, Charge was so mad that he left the org. So please don't be mad with us if we discover you, mafia member ;)

    Mafia games sometimes get a bit tense while they are going on. It's all in-game though. When it's over, we slap each other on the back, congratulate the winners, and (usually) marvel at how badly we got played.

    Hah, that tale is actually amusing. No, what went wrong was, I some how crossed Sasaki before the game began and no one left me alone, then again, no one will ever believe me for years to come even when they look back and go "He might have been innocent, but he was always a mafia in my books" :p

    Definitely. If they turn out being people I never suspected or even thought of being mafia, I would feel really silly.

    I was waiting for this game to come along and now I'm too late! Gah!

    I would ask, Tincow, if you need a substitute in the case of a WoG or withdrawal that I could be added to the list.

    According to the game list it will start when the council of villians game ends.

    Sorry, I can't control when the game starts, I have to wait to be moved up to active status. The game will definitely start the moment I get online after that happens. Everything is ready to go, so there should be no delay at all once this is moved to an active slot.

    Hi, I'm moving this game to the active slot since Pokemon is still struggling to get players. You may start when you are ready TinCow.

    You just admitted you are mafia.

    Oh wait, wrong thread. Big thanks Sasaki, this game looks really fun.

    Alright, random.org is about to go to work. I will make another post when all role PMs have been sent out.

    Default Prelude

    “Before beginning, plan carefully.”
    - Marcus Tullius Cicero


    The news of Caesar’s march reached Rome as dusk was falling. Details were scarce, and without any knowledge of the specific strength of the army that marched with him, fear and paranoia began to set in amongst the Senate. Caesar had sent out advance columns of infantry, each several cohorts in strength, and they were moving with alarming speed. The garrisons that stood in his way were small, and the loyalty of the rural towns questionable.

    Messengers were sent out across Rome, announcing that an emergency meeting of the Senate would begin the next morning to discuss the situation. No one expected that the meeting would be civil or productive; the Optimates would surely demand that dictatorial powers be given to Pompey, while the Populares would obstinately block every effort the Senate made to reign in Caesar. As night fell over the city, the Roman Republic was on a knife-edge. The only solace the Senate had was that at least there would be one final night of peace before the insanity was unleashed on them all…


    ------

    All role PMs have been sent and the game is now underway. The first phase is a night action. Due to the larger than expected player base and the group night action mechanics, I will allow 36 hours for this first phase. 24 hour phases will be used after that.

    The deadline for Night 1 orders is Wednesday, May 13th at 10:45am EST.

    I am getting a mental picture of this being similar to that. Would be interesting to envision it.

    Now I am heading to bed, I am awake again at stupid o'clock and been creating typing messages around the place in tiredness. I will correct things next time. :snooze:
