Game Description:

• Large Mafia Game
• 40+ players
• Standard Day/Night phases
• Town, Neutral, and Mafia factions
• Pro-town team not overpowered
• Investigation roles are not 100% effective
• Many players are basic townies
• Secret roles, hidden twist

Write-up description

• Each Day and Night phase will feature a different Planet or Location in the Lylat System and beyond
• Game will feature a storyline plot, the ending of which is determined by the outcome of the game
• Each writeup will include IMAGES and MUSIC.
• Each writeup will advance the storyline
• Removed: Write-up clues. No puzzles or hints in these. (Focus should be on standard mafia solving techniques)
• Upon death: Those who die will be named, and their alignment will be revealed.

GAME RULES

1. The game does not involve any unusual rules, such as:

• The game host (Askthepizzaguy) being a player/lynchable
• unknown players being able to participate
• inverted win conditions (such as death being victory, or don't lynch anyone results in victory)

so this is not a gag or gimmick game.

2. Win conditions for the Town-aligned factions:

• Destroy the Big Bad, and any other hostile forces.
• Try to fulfill your personal goal(s).

3. Win conditions for the Neutral-aligned factions:

• Destroy the Big Bad, survive the game.
• Try to fulfill your personal goal(s).

4. Win conditions for the rest:

• See your role PM.

5. Minimum level of participation:

• If you do not vote three rounds in a row, you will be sent out of this dimension by the angry, wrathful hand of God, and will be removed from the game and will automatically finish with the lowest possible score and rank dead last. This can be averted under extenuating circumstances by contacting me and letting me know why you will be inactive and when you will be back. I may still be forced to replace you temporarily.

6. Voting procedure:

• If you wish to vote to lynch someone, post Vote: Askthepizzaguy
• If you wish to vote for someone new, post Unvote, vote: Sasaki Kojiro
• If you do not BOLD your vote, it does not count.
• If you do not unvote your previous vote, your new vote does not count.
• If you edit a post with your vote in it, the vote still counts.
• However, if you edit your post to change your vote, you WILL be removed from the game. Do not edit your votes. Make a new post. You can edit other parts of your post, but not the vote part.

7. Role revealing

• DO NOT REVEAL YOUR ROLE PRIVATELY TO ANYONE. Do not say who you are. Do not hint who you are.
• If you wish to make a role reveal, you MUST do it PUBLICLY, in this very thread.
• You are allowed to quote your role PM in this public thread. Yes, the entire thing. But only here.
• This means no email, no private message, no other forums, no telephone, no chats, and no writing messages in the sky. Doesn't matter how, you will not reveal your role privately.

8. Private communication

• You can communicate privately to anyone, if you wish. DO NOT reveal your role this way.

9. Exceptions:

• If you are told by the game host that you know what someone else's role is, then you are able to contact them privately and talk about it that way.

10. Illegal moves:

• Do not intentionally mess with the vote tally. I will warn you the first time, then ban you. (Don't worry about making tallies for me, I will do my own count. You can do an unofficial tally for yourselves.)
• Do not reveal information that is not publicly available after you die. Your actions during the night phases, other people's actions, your role, your role PM, communications from the game host, even things you heard as a rumor privately... don't talk about them, don't confirm them when others say them. If you speak after death, you may only refer to IN-THREAD information.

I am going to quote from Seamus Fermanagh’s rules from Capo II on this one, with a few edits:
The dead may post, but not vote/select nor carry out any night actions. Dead players may not reveal their roles publicly or privately and may not reveal their faction or role particulars either. Dead players may not quote from a PM unless that PM has been posted in the public thread by a living player. Dead players may not reveal, recount or allude to their previous night actions (or results thereof in the case of investigations) publicly or privately – even to confirm a previously made public or private reveal. Your participation must be circumspect, but your continued participation IS encouraged.

• No screenshots may be used, from or to anyone, for ANY purpose – this includes during PMs. Feel free to quote from player's PMs to you or to fabricate as you see fit. You may NOT quote my PMs. Chatlog conversations may be referenced/quoted, but may not be copied via screenshot. Note: it can be difficult to maintain role secrecy during chat conversations.
• "Suicide" will not be allowed in this game (it is possible to create an unplayable game with nothing but suicide pact challenges going on. This is not the intended mode of play for this game). Players who must remove themselves from play for schedule reasons should send me a PM. I will then write them out of play.

11. I reserve the right to amend these rules and your role at any time. However, I won't do that unless it pertains to game balance (rules) or how I originally designed your role to play out (new role and win conditions, triggered by certain events). The role you start with may change depending on circumstances beyond your total control.

12. The Big Bad (main enemy of the game)

• This is the role that the Town and Neutral factions start off opposing.
• The Big Bad could be anyone.
• There may be more than one Big Bad... or just one, depending on what happens.

13. Sportsmanship, player etiquette, having fun:

• This is just a game. If you win, you don't win anything, and no matter how awesome you are, you did not win based solely on your own actions. Random chance, and other player decisions, are what influence the outcome more than your awesome skills.
• Don't take it too seriously. This may be the internet, but this game is not SERIOUS BUSINESS.
• Breaking the rules, however, is SERIOUS BUSINESS.
• Don't hate anyone for accusing you.
• Don't do personal attacks. You can criticize strategy or suggest people are guilty. Don't call them dumb, or anything similar.
• Avoid profanity and stay within forum rules. I expect you've read the rules when you joined the forum, and the rules are posted plainly here and especially in the gameroom itself (Read this before playing...)

EDIT: ADDENDUM-

14. pevergreen's name is pevergreen with a lowercase p, but frankly I am tired of hearing about it.

• If pevergreen wants to correct people about the not-capitalization of his name, he can do it privately.
• If people want to ask him about why that is so, they can do it privately.
• I am sooooo tired of seeing this exercise repeat every single game... clogging up the thread with posts about capitalization of names. This bartender says: "Take it outside.''

Finally, Have fun.

Post 119 of the Game thread

Corneria. Fourth planet of the Lylat System.

The Evil Andross turned this once thriving system into a wasteland of near-extinction. General Pepper of the Cornerian Army was successful in exiling this maniacal scientist to the barren, deserted planet Venom. Five years later, General Pepper noticed strange activity coming from Venom. James McCloud, Pigma Dengar, and Peppy Hare of the StarFox team were sent to investigate. Upon their arrival, Pigma betrayed the team, and James and Peppy were captured by Andross. Peppy barely escaped Venom and returned home to tell James' son Fox about his father's fate.

A few years pass, and Andross had invaded the Lylat system again. General Pepper turned to a new StarFox team headed by Fox McCloud to save Corneria, and free the Lylat system once again.

Flashback:

Andross: I've been waiting for you, Star Fox.

Andross: You know that I control the galaxy.

Andross: It's foolish to come against me.

Andross: You will die, just like your Father.

Fox McCloud: Say your prayers, Andross!!!

Andross: HA HA HA.... YOU CAN NEVER DEFEAT ME!!!!

Andross: ARRRGGGHHHHHH!!!!! If I go down, I'm taking you with me!!!

Fox McCloud: Sorry to jet, but I'm in a hurry!

THE END......... ?

















Time passes.....

Corneria, five years later.

A team of ruthless mercenaries known as Star Wolf has been raiding Cornerian trade convoys. Daring and elusive, the Wolfen pilots have been using the Meteo asteroid field as a base from which to launch attacks, and return to hiding. The Cornerian Army cannot send their fleet into the asteroid field, so General Pepper dispatches Fox McCloud and the rest of the Star Fox team to investigate.

During their mission, the Star Fox team was ambushed by Star Wolf. It seemed as though they came out of nowhere. Some of the Arwings were disabled.

Wolf O'Donnell: It looks like WE win today, Star Fox.

Star Fox and his team fled from the asteroid field and attempted to return back to Corneria, with Star Wolf in hot pursuit.

Wolf O'Donnell: Trying to limp back home? Hahahaha...... Can't let you do that, Star Fox!!!

Leon Powalski: Come here, Falco. I'll take care of you.

Andrew Oikonny: Slippy Toad.... I think I'll do the entire fan base a favor and vaporize you. Stick to the Pond, Froggy!

The StarFox team was about to be wiped out by Star Wolf, until a vortex opened in space, near the battle. From the center of the vortex came a cluster of homing missiles, heading straight toward StarFox and Star Wolf.

Wolf O'Donnell: What the heck?

The missiles streaked toward their targets. Things were getting desperate, until a lone voice rang out across the comm channel....

Peppy Hare: To barrel roll, press Z or R twice..... Now, DO A BARRELL ROLL!!!

Using this awesome maneuver, Star Fox and Star Wolf were able to avoid being hit by the enemy missiles.

Wolf O'Donnell: No way! I don't believe it!

Peppy and Fox streaked towards Corneria, with the missiles right on their tail. Peppy and Fox were able to try a somersault and then were able to shoot down the enemy missiles. Things didn't fare as well for Falco and Slippy, who were forced back into the Meteo asteroid field, where they attempted to evade the missiles.

Slippy Toad: Incoming enemy missile!

Falco Lombardi: Bogey behind me. Am I gettin' slow?

Slippy Toad: Ahhh!!! I'm hit!

Falco Lombardi: Something's wrong with the G-diffuser.

The Star Fox team had been separated. Star Wolf managed to escape, and Wolf O'Donnell vowed revenge against whoever had attacked him, and denied O'Donnell his final victory over Star Fox. Above Corneria, more vortexes began to appear, and from these wormholes came even more missiles... all aiming at Corneria itself. The people of Corneria were now in mortal danger. This attack was repeated all across the Lylat System.... even the remnants of the former Venomian army were targeted. But who could have done this? Why were they trying to destroy everyone? Somewhere in the Lylat system, a sinister, dark villain had emerged.... and this time, NO ONE was safe....









This is the basic town and basic neutral role PM, which can be used as a cover role by anyone who wishes to do so. You could also use it as a template to forge your own role PM.

Role reveals should always be taken with a grain of salt.

—Cornerian Fighter

Cornerian Defense Force

http://starfox.wikia.com/wiki/Cornerian_Army

The Cornerian Army is one of the main military forces of Corneria, used to patrol and protect the Lylat System from any and all threats. Squadrons of these soldiers have been dispatched to various areas of the Lylat System to keep the peace. In Star Fox 64, the Army is quickly overpowered by the unexpected invasion from the until then unheard of Venomian Army. The Cornerian Army, during that time, had control over Corneria, Sector Y, Katina and Fichina, and they usually managed to endure until Star Fox came to the rescue. During the time of Star Fox: Assault, the Cornerian Army is able to hold it's own fighting rebelling forces, giving Star Fox time to go in after Andrew Oikonny. It is assumed that they, like the Cornerian Defense Force, were severely beaten trying to stop the sudden invasion of the powerful Aparoids. The Cornerian Army base on Katina was among the first victims of the Aparoid invasion. General Pepper retired and turned his job over to Peppy Hare by the time of Star Fox Command, in which the army must again try to defend Lylat from a quick invasion from a powerful enemy, in this case, the Anglars. Several members of the Cornerian Army are playable in this game, including Bill Grey and Dash Bowman. Also, in this game, Krystal joins the Cornerian Army before defecting to Star Wolf. She takes her fighter with her, although she paints it pink. It is identical to Bill's ship.

Role: Cornerian Fighter
Team: Cornerian Defense Force
Victory: Town
Personal Objective: The Cornerian Defense force must outnumber the Venomian Assault Force by the end of the conflict.
Ability: None
Ship: Cornerian Fighter

"Do you copy? Emergency Maneuvers!"
—Caiman

Venomian Assault Force

http://starfox.wikia.com/wiki/Venomian_Army

The Venomian Army sometimes referred to as Androssians, was the army of the planet Venom which operated under the control of Andross. The army was destroyed by both the Cornerian Army and the Star Fox Team at the end of the Lylat Wars, although small groups of it remained at least up to the time of the Aparoid Invasion. These groups were kept at bay during those times, being forced to stay on Fortuna as a last resort before the Aparoids invaded.

Role: Venomian Fighter
Team: Venomian Assault Force
Victory: Neutral

It is in your best interest to remain alive. As a neutral, you can only win if your team (VAF) outnumbers the Cornerian team (CDF) at the end of the game, or if you survive the game, or if your alignment changes and you get new win conditions.

Personal Objective: The Venomian Assault Force must outnumber the Cornerian Defense force by the end of the conflict. Your personal survival adds to this.
Ability: None
Ship: Venomian Fighter

The Venomian Forces can win with the town, but this victory condition may change.

DAY ONE BEGINS

Post 243 of the game thread

Day Phase One

Scramble, scramble!

Scramble, scramble!

Incoming enemy fighters!

Prepare for launch.

General Pepper: The remnants of the former Venomian Army have decided to launch an all-out assault on Corneria! Fox, if you can hear me, report back to Corneria at once and help repel the invaders! They're everywhere, Fox!

Fox McCloud: I'm on it, general. But two members of my team are missing.... I'll do my best.

Stage One: Corneria.

Good luck!

Over the capital city, a swarm of Venomian fighters were engaged in a dogfight with Cornerian fighters. The Venomians had painted their ships the same color as the Cornerians, and were emitting a scrambling frequency to prevent identification. It was hard to tell good ships from the bad. Bill Grey, commander of the elite Bulldog and Husky Units, was attempting to discern which ship was which, using his keen eye and extensive experience. Several of the Cornerian fighters were firing at each other in confusion.

Bill Grey: Bulldog Unit 34, that's an allied fighter! Disengage immediately!

He turned and saw another fighter ignore an enemy vessel, and barked orders to that ship.

Bill Grey: Husky Unit 16, that's an enemy fighter. You're authorized to attack!

Even though he was doing a good job identifying allied vessels and enemy vessels, most of the Cornerian fighters were missing their targets. It was so bad, that the Venomian fighters were attacking each other as well.

Bill Grey: All units, hold the perimeter! Hang on guys, help is on the way!

Fox McCloud: You rang?

Bill Grey: Fox, you made it!

Fox McCloud: Just like old times.

Bill Grey: Bulldog Unit, delta formation! Husky Unit, gamma formation! That should help us identify allied ships.

Peppy Hare: They're heading for the Cornerian Capital building! Don't let 'em through!

Bill Grey: Husky Unit, cover the base!

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

A vortex appeared in the sky, and from this wormhole came a number of enemy missiles with photon warheads.

Peppy Hare: Surprise attack coming from above!

Fox McCloud: Emergency Maneuvers! Get outta there!!!

The capital building of the Cornerian government was destroyed by enemy missiles. In the explosion, many Cornerian fighters and several Venomian fighters were incinerated. The Venomian fighters disengaged from the battle, leaving orbit of Corneria itself and disappearing into the nearby asteroid field. Fox, Bill, and Peppy were able to escape from the blast.

Peppy Hare: Doggone it!

Fox McCloud: We'll find whoever did this, and we'll make them pay for it.

Bill Grey: I'm counting on you Fox. Go do us proud.

Fox McCloud: I'll do my best.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Post 260 of the Game Thread

Night Phase One

Meteo Asteroid Field

pevergreen was piloting his starfighter through the Meteo asteroid field, attempting to get to the planet Fortuna, on the other side. He was looking forward to making repairs on his ship and getting a hot meal after the disastrous battle on Corneria. His starfighter zipped easily between the dangerous asteroids at speeds that would boggle the mind of the average Cornerian. He did his usual status report.

"pevergreen here. No problems."

Suddenly, his communications system went haywire. His comm signal was being jammed by an unknown source. Cold sweat began to pool down his back, and his hands began to tense up. He looked at his sensor panel, and nothing showed up on the screen.

"Fortuna base, come in! Allied craft, please respond....... Do you copy? EMERGENCY MANEUVERS!!!"

Suddenly, from behind a large asteroid, pevergreen spotted a vessel approaching from the rear. Brilliant red plasma streaked past pever's ship. Reacting instinctively, pevergreen executed a barrel roll to try to avoid being hit. Then he swerved behind the nearest asteroid and attempted to do a vertical loop to evade his attacker. However, the unknown attacker reversed thrusters and waited for pevergreen to come out of the vertical loop. Now pevergreen was right in its sights.

"I've got you now...."

Red plasma struck pevergreen's engines and his starfighter stalled. The reactor exploded, sending pevergreen adrift. A second blast ripped away the entire starboard half of pevergreen's vessel. All pevergreen could do was smash his instrument panels with his fists in frustration and panic. Then he looked up and saw a bright burst of plasma headed straight for his cockpit.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"

________________________

Sector Y

Death is Yonder piloted his craft through the Sector Y nebula, on his way toward the base on Planet Katina. There was heavy ion storm activity which required skillful piloting and heavy shielding in order to avoid being damaged. Fortunately Death is Yonder had both of those things in ample supply.

"Katina Base, this is Death is Yonder. I should be arriving in orbit at approximately 0900 hours tomorrow. Do you copy?"

The ion activity greatly increased, and soon a gravitational vortex began to open directly off of his starboard bow. Death is Yonder immediately tried to execute evasive maneuvers, but his engines couldn't overpower a gravity well of this magnitude.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

"Katina Base, this is Death is Yonder. I'm being pulled into a gravity well! Mayday, Mayday, all ships in the area, please assist!"

There was nothing Death is Yonder could do. He was soon pulled inside the vortex. The scene inside was indescribable chaos.... there was a vast quantity of space debris. Metal girders, titanium plating, asteroid clusters, and ship debris was being spun around at enormous sub-light speeds. The maelstrom was horrifying to witness... and there was nothing the tiny starfighter could do once it was trapped inside the spinning vortex. Death is Yonder saw a massive metal beam moving in his direction, and there was no time and no way to evade collision.

"AAARRRGGGHHH!!!!"

Day Phase Two

General Pepper: Fox, the fleet is under attack... I need you to escort our cruisers through Sector Y safely. Help us out here!

Fox McCloud: Roger, General. I'll be on the lookout for enemy ships. Don't worry, your fleet is safe with me!

Stage Two: Sector Y.

Good luck!

You can watch this video for fun, but it doesn't quite fit into the story. Might provide good background noises though.

Fox McCloud: Let's back up the squadron.

Peppy Hare: Incoming enemy fighters!

Fox McCloud: There's too many of them. We could sure use some support out here, General.

General Pepper: All fighter units, scramble. Defensive formations... protect the cruisers!

Peppy Hare: They're on me! I'm gettin' careless!

Fox McCloud: I'll be right there, Peppy.

Peppy Hare: Your father helped me like that, too!

Fox McCloud: Here comes the cavalry. All right fellas, let's split up and take it to 'em!

Cornerian pilot: All wings report in.

Bill Grey: It looks like you could use some help, Fox.

Fox McCloud: Bill!

Bill Grey: I'll cover you, Fox. Just do what you do best!

General Pepper: Shields weakening. Fox, where are you?

Fox McCloud: Right behind you general. I spot the enemy.... I'm taking them out.

Peppy Hare: Use bombs wisely. Allied craft, move to a safe distance!

Fox McCloud: Smart Bomb 01, deployed.

*BOOOOOOOM*

Bill Grey: Well that sure got them. Are you sure you even need the rest of us, Fox?

Fox McCloud: Don't relax. We're not done yet!

civplayah: Where's all my backup? I can't believe I'm trying to do this all by myself...

Peppy Hare: Fox, you've got an enemy on your tail!

Fox McCloud: Huh? What?

Peppy Hare: Use the brake!

Fox McCloud: Reversing thrusters....

*civplayah's ship nearly crashes into Fox's arwing*

civplayah: What the heck is this guy doing? Evasive maneuvers!

Fox McCloud: All right. Let's take him out, boys!

Bill Grey: I've got the left.

Peppy Hare: I've got the right!

Rob64: Great Fox will cover you.

Fox McCloud: I'm right on his tail.

civplayah: What have I gotten myself into? I'm getting outta here!

Peppy Hare: I won't let you get away from me!

civplayah: There's too many of them! Venomian units, where are you???

*Red blaster fire strikes civplayah's vessel*

civplayah: Thanks a lot guys.... some help you are!

Bill Grey: That will teach him not to find anyone suspicious!

civplayah: Oh come on! It's round two.... give me a break!

Fox McCloud: I've got ya!

A swarm of ships fired in the direction of civplayah's fighter craft. There was nowhere to escape to... all the space around him lit up with green, blue, red, and yellow blaster fire.

civplayah: I NEVER GOT TO VISIT DISNEYLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND!!!!

Night Phase Two

Meteo Asteroid Field

choxorn was piloting his starfighter through the Meteo asteroid field, trying to get to Katina the quickest way: via the hyperspace warp hidden in the asteroids. He noticed some space wreckage nearby that looked suspiciously like a Venomian starfighter. He slowed his speed, and set sensors to maximum, and darted from behind one asteroid to the other, trying not to be spotted. In the distance, he spotted some craft he did not recognize. Thinking quickly, he shut down all engines and all systems besides life support and thrusters, and put his ship into a drift mode. A quick tap on the stabilizers threw him off his axis, and within seconds, he looked like an ordinary piece of space debris. With no lights or EM activity, the ship was dark and sensors wouldn't be able to easily detect it.

This was a difficult maneuver, but his years of training helped prepare him for this moment. He kept a keen eye out for any large, fast moving asteroids, and simply accepted the damage his vessel was taking from the dust and rocks that were colliding with his ship. It would look rough when it was all over, but the ship would hold together.

choxorn spotted a large asteroid off in the distance, and did a quick calculation in his head. He pressed on his forward thrusters to knock him slightly out of the roll and in the direction of the large asteroid. When he got near, he turned on the navcomputer and estimated the distance to target. He found a nice crater which would serve as a relatively safe place to land. When he had almost crashed into the asteroid, he quickly tapped on the stabilizers and came out of the roll, then he lowered the landing gear and turned the stabilizers vertical. Once he touched down on the asteroid, he would have to keep the stabilizers on at a low thrust setting, so that he could cling to the surface of the asteroid in this near-zero gravity situation. The gas from the thrusters would look exactly like thermal vents.

After an hour of clinging to the surface of the asteroid, he turned on his sensor equipment and the cabin heater, since his instrument panels were starting to freeze up. After several rotations of the asteroid, he was able to tell that any ships in the area had left. It was time to leave. He switched off the stabilizers and safely drifted away from the large asteroid, and headed straight for the warp rings. They were only about 30,000 kilometers away. Choxorn turned on the deflector shield and eased his vessel out of the densest part of the asteroid field, and fired up his main thruster to maximum. Within minutes, he was at the warp.

choxorn drifted into the first warp ring, and felt a burst of speed as the ship was magnetically propelled forward to the next warp ring. He hit the next warp ring and angled himself to the next one, gaining speed at a significant rate of acceleration. The magnetic rings caused the ship to spin, so choxorn held on for dear life, and switched his inertial dampeners to maximum. The stars outside his cockpit were spinning around so fast that they were nothing more than white blurry rings. He felt the ship shudder as it passed through magnetic rings four, five, and six.... Suddenly, his instrument panels lit up red, and alarms and warning signals went off.

DANGER. DANGER. SUBSPACE ANOMALY DETECTED.

At this rate of speed, and the fact that he was spinning at a rate of 300 revolutions per second, there was no way his little ship could reverse momentum and ease out of the warp zone in time. He was heading straight for the anomaly at 3,000 kilometers per second, and there was nothing he could do about it. He switched on his comm system and sent out one last distress call.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Choxorn: Blue 11 is heading into a subspace anomaly! Blue 11 is heading into a subspace anomaly! If I don't make it.... tell my wife.... I love her....

When choxorn entered the anomaly, he was moving too fast to see a great interruption of the space-time continuum; a massive gravity well. All manner of space debris and matter were being flung around at near-light speed. His sensors detected that the center of the anomaly had relatively normal space, and the navcomputer automatically adjusted the ship's thrusters to compensate, and angle it toward normal space, directly down the center of the vortex.

However, sensors also detected a large object being hurtled down the center of the vortex.... a missile with a proton-antiproton warhead. With no way to stop the momentum of his vessel, all he could do was take his chances in the outer edge of the gravity well, and hope he could pull himself back in time. But even though he narrowly missed the proton-antiproton missile, he was flying out of control toward the edges of the well, where there was nothing but chaos, gravity, matter, velocity, and death. He only had seconds left to live.

choxorn: THIS IS TOTALLY LAAAAAAAAAAAAAME!!!!

Begin Day Three

Voting ends in approximately 48 hours, or 0600 on June 21st, GMT-5:00, eastern time USA. However, that night phase will end on the usual 2359, so be aware you have the full amount of time to vote, but less time to do night actions in the upcoming phase. Try to get your orders in on time, even send them in advance if necessary. I want to compensate for this delay, and you've got plenty of warning, so it shouldn't be a problem.
