The rusty vessel seemed to be jumping up and down. Most passengers were seasick and begged the gods to end their suffering.
Land came in sight. The passengers tried to take a look at the abandoned island. The few lucky enough not to be seasick, grabbed their camera's and started to take pictures.
Suddenly the boat stopped; about 500 meters of water seperated the boat from the island.
The captain, an older man with an impressive scar on his left cheek and with more rotten than healthy teeth in his mouth yelled at his passengers:
"Out! Get out, now!"
The passengers were befuddled. Some thought the captain was joking and started to laugh.
With a hard look on his face, the captain picked up his shotgun.
"Out of this boat. You got what you payed for: an Island. Abandoned. And it's exclusive, since nobody else is here. Now, jump and start swimming, it's only 500 meters."
The tourists stared at their captain, they couldn't believe what they heard.
Having lost his patience, the captain aimed the shotgun just slightly above the heads of the tourists and fired as shot. It sounded like a canon.
One of his two crewmen suddenly had a machine gun in his hands and it started to burst out bullets.
Screaming and yelling, the tourists jumped into the water, most not even bothering to take their luggage with them and started to swim.
The machine gun stopped and they could hear the Captain yelling: "You payed for 4 weeks; we'll pick you up in five! That's right, you get an extra week, free of charge to make up for the inconvenience of the boat trip."

Mikhail had a difficult time not to burst out in laughter. This was not exactly what he expected, but boy, this was convenient!
"Find the stash. Leave no witnesses," was what the order of Vladimir came down to.
One look at Dimitri thaught him that he was having the same thoughts.
This one was going to be easy. Taking out these idiots wouldn't take too long and there would be plenty of time to go looking around the Island.
And the guys on of that rusty boat seemed like the perfect types to not ask questions in return for some hard cash.
***
"Blood, sweet blood. A bloodbath. Crushing skulls. Pain. Screaming! Death and pain! WAHAHAHA!"
"Richie, SHUT UP NOW!"
Oliver ignored the strange looks from the man swimming next to him.

Welcome to my latest large mafia game, "The Island"
A bloodbath on a tropical Island Everything you ever wished for
Rules:
Basic mafia rules
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
There are three sides in this game: the tourists (townies), the serial killer (SK) and the mafia.
The tourists are the innocent people and they have to lynch the mafiosi and the SK during the day. The mafiosi and the SK each have to kill one tourist each night (in this game, the mafia has one kill each night, regardless of with how many they are. This means that if one mafioso is lynched, the mafia will still have the ability to kill one players each night; the SK has one kill each night. If he dies, then obviously, he will no longer be able to kill). When all mafiosi and the SK are lynched, the tourist win. When all tourist are dead, the tourists lose and either the mafia or the SK will have won.
Each day or night phase will last approximately 24 hours. This may be extended or shortened due to real life circumstances of the host (that's me).
The tourists have to decide during the day by voting who will get lynched. The person with the most votes, will be lynched.
Votes have to be made like this:
Vote : Andres
When you want to switch your vote, you have to do it like this:
Unvote : Andres ; Vote : Ser Clegane
Please remember to BOLD YOUR VOTES! UNBOLDED VOTES WILL NOT BE COUNTED! No exceptions will be made. Also, REMEMBER TO UNVOTE BEFORE SWITCHING YOUR VOTE; if you forget to unvote, your vote switch will be ignored. DO NOT EDIT YOUR POST TO ALTER YOUR VOTE. IF YOU ALTER YOUR VOTE, YOU NEED TO MAKE A NEW POST.
Notes:
* You're allowed to vote "abstain"; voting "no lynch" will be counted as an abstain vote.
* When a tie is reached at the end of the day, the game host will randomly (as in "completely at random") lynch one of the players in the tie. In short: there will always be a lynch at the end of the day phase.
* regardless of your role, you are supposed to be active in the thread. Severe inactivity (no strict rule, but you can take not posting for 6 RL days in a row as a basic rule) will be dealt with by WoG ("Wrath of God") which basically means that you'll be killed by the host in a most humiliating way.
* If you can no longer play for whatever reason, please inform the host and he'll try to find a replacement. If no replacement can be found, you will be written out of play (honorable suicide).
* Roles of the dead will not be revealed.
* The dead players can keep playing, but they will no longer have a vote nor any night abilities.
Roles - setup:
- 30 players max
- 2 mafia, one kill each night, not immune for night kills
- 1 SK, one kill each night, immune for night kills.
- 27 tourists
Special rules.
None.

I think I'm going to skip the psychiatrist role; I would only implement if for story purposes, but in retrospect, the game doesn't really need it.
I'd like to have some feedback:
- 2 or 3 mafiosi, 2 kills each night (depending on number of sign-ups (2 if sign-ups are equal to or lower than 20; 3 if sign-ups reach 30); kills drop to 1 when a mafioso dies/when 2 mafiosi died;
- 1 serial killer, immune for night kills; 1 kill each night;
Is this balanced enough? Or should I toss in a detective, a doctor or both a detective and a doctor? Personally, I'm thinking perhaps adding 2 doctors to balance it; I don't really like detective roles. I could of course just let the serial killer out and keep it vanilla with 2 or 3 mafiosi with two kills each night, period, but there's something irresistable about a serial killer on an island.

They were all exhausted. Most of them only had the clothers they were wearing. Others did have some of their luggage, but everything was all soaked through; needless to say, cell phones and anything else that could be used as a means to communicate with the outisde world, was broken.
Some immediately started looking for food. Others looked for shelter. Some tourists tried to organise themselves. There was laughter here and there. Most complained, waved their fists and pledged that they would sue this company and bring it to justice.
But underneath that façade, there was a sense of despair around the tourists and all of them wondered secretly how they would survive all these weeks on this Island that did not seem to have any facilities whatsoever...
The night fell and eventually, the tourists went to sleep...

And... kick off!
The game has officially started. We start the game with a night phase; night will last for +/- 24 hours. PM's please.

Now if you'll excuse me gentlemen, I have to go put on my leather jacket with a big target painted on the back of it due to reasons totally unrelated to Capo.
He's the only one we can be sure is townie. A mafia wouldn't have any clue about the no-pm for town at that point as he was first and answered 5 minutes after the pm.
Dimitri grinned at Mikhail. Finding those shovels in that cave simply had to mean something good!
They slowly sneaked up on the tourist who was sitting on the beach, watching the waves roll.
While he was thinking about home and how stupid he had been falling for that advertisement, Sasaki Kojiro didn't hear the notorious Russian hitmen coming near. A hard blow on the back of his head rendered him unconscious.
Dimitri grabbed Sasaki's feet while Mikhial grabbed him under his arms. The mafiosi carried the body a bit futher, to a nearby tree.
Half an hour later, Sasaki started shaking his head. He tried to move, but something stopped him in his movements. It was a dark night and he didn't see a thing. The only thing his senses registered was the sound of shoveling and dirt falling on him. For a moment, the clouds allowed the moon to shine over the Island. He tried to see the face of the man standing to the right, but failed to notice the other man throwing another load of dirt, this time right in his face. Three or four more loads of dirt and Sasaki could no longer breathe. He tried to yell, but the dirt found its' way into his throat.
Sasaki slowly suffocated to death...
***
The leaves of the palm trees were excellent to make it look as if he had a mane. Richie laughed quietly while he looked at the rope he found on the beach.
Suddenly, he saw one of the tourists passing by, probably looking for a tree. He decided to follow him.
The man indeed walked over to a tree, but he accidentally tripped over something.
Richie used the opportunity to jump on Death is yonder. He managed to get the rope around DiY's neck and started to strangle him. The struggle didn't take too long and soon, DiY stopped moving.
The rope still around DiY's neck, Richie swung the other end of it around a branch and pulled DiY up.
Looking at the hanging body, Richie started to laugh and dance hysterically, constantly yelling "I shall be known as a a mercenary, like a Karian. I shall be known as a a mercenary, like a Karian. I shall be known as a a mercenary, like a Karian. I shall be known as a a mercenary, like a Karian. I shall be known as a..."
*** The Island - Day 1
The tourists couldn't stop staring at the body of Death is yonder hanging on the tree. They were in complete disbelief. A few of them couldn't help themselves and threw up whatever was still in their stomach.
One of them wanted to walk over to the body, but he accidentally tripped over something sticking out of the sand.
"That looks like a foot or somehing!"
One of the tourists started giggling while another one yelled "shut up!"
Four or five tourists immediately started to dig up Sasaki Kojiro's corpse.
"There's a murderer among us!"
"We need to find him before he kills us all!"
The tourists started to look at each other, angry and distrustfull.
"Let's not jump to conclusions too fast," one of them said. "We can't start killing each other just like that, we need to organise ourselves!"
"Fine," another tourist said, "let the majority decide. Whoever gets the most votes will be executed."
"But, but, but... I'm against the death penalty! It's cruel. It's inhumane! What if we kill an innocent?"
"They were innocent too!" several tourists yelled.
The defender of human rights murmured a silent "ok, ok, as long as it isn't me" and the tourists started the procedure.

The tourists kept debating fiercely. Accusations were thrown around seemingly ad random. Most tourists seemed to be more concerned about not being the one to get lynched than actually finding the ones responsible for the killing.
In the end, they chose to execute two tourists! Skooma addict seemed an obvious choice. Somebody who was addicted to illegal substances was obviously a possible killer. The addicts' defense that Skooma didn't exist and was just some sort of drugs that only existed in the fantasy of some creators of a popular video game didn't help. In fact, it even made him more suspicious. Surely, only a real drugs addict could invent such a story!
The other one they wished to execute only had himself to blame. An Island. No food at all. And then you run around with a name like Beefy187? Allthough it had only been a day, most tourists were already starving. Who wouldn't want to eat 187 beef steaks after a day of hunger and emotions?
Suddenly, the human rights watcher started to wave his finger around and yelled that only one person should be executed. This whole procedure was already against all possible human rights and...
"Fine!" Skooma Addict said. "If we're going to lynch only one person, then I suggest we only kill Beefy187."
Suddenly, the peaceful tourist became very pale. Surely, this wasn't what he meant by...
Beefy187's thought process was interupted by the teeth of 29 humans sinking into his flesh...

The lonely man on the beach was sitting next to a small campfire. With a big smile on his face, he was looking at a piece of human flesh. While the other tourists had been eating the late Beefy187 raw, he had seen this excellent piece of meat a few feet further. The others ignored this excellent Beefy steak, and so, he had taken it, unnoticed.
He pierced a pointy stick through the flesh and held it above the campfire.
Suddenly, he heard a man coughing. Askthepizzaguy quickly turned around, which saved his life, as his attacker, mislead by the movement, swung a heavy piece of wood and hit air where, only a split of a second before, Pizza's head had been.
His attacker, his face hidden in shadows, looked at Pizza and said:
"I long for a fight with you, just as a thirsty man longs for water."
Askthepizzaguy froze at the sound of the voice of his attacker, a voice which resembled the sound of rotten bones falling on a concrete floor.
His attacker laughed softly.
"But not tonight, Gorbachev."
The attacker turned around and ran away.
Still surprised at his survival, Pizza picked up the pointy stick with the beef and held it back over the campfire, still trembling and not realy sure about what just happened...
***
Mikhail looked at the man sitting on the beach, seemingly enjoying a late night dinner.
Carrying his knife, the only weapon he managed to get here, he sneaked up on Askthepizzaguy.
Pizza was enjoying his beefy so much, that he didn't hear the professional killer coming near.
Mikhail suddenly grabbed Pizza, and he cut his mouth open, right through his cheeks, to his ears, cutting his mouth into a very big grin. Before Pizza realized what was happening, the professional killer was already busy cutting out his tongue. He turned Pizza around and shoved his tongue back into his throat, causing him to choke to death, the arm of his killer to the elbow in his mouth.
***
Hysterically laughing, Richie was running under the palm trees, into the jungle that was the heart of the Island.
Suddenly, he stumbled upon Bow-wow-wow. He didn't slow down, but instead ran even faster, planting his elbow into Bow-wow-wows' stomach upon impact.
The blow caused Bow-wow-wow to throw up his evening meal.
Quickly grabbing a heavy piece of wood, Richie started hitting Bow-wow-wow all over his body, breaking several bones. Once he was sure Bow-wow-wow couldn't defend himself anymore, he stopped.
With a sadistic smile on his face, he walked over to the moaning Bow-wow-wow, examined his body and started to push and move the fractured bones, causing him enormous pain. As Bow-wow-wow's scream of aggony grew louder and louder, Richie laughed more and more hysterically, until Bow-wow-wow finally passed out.
Disappointed, Richie stood up, grabbed a big rock and used it to break Bow-wow-wow's skull open. He hit it several times, until the brains were splattered all over the place.
*** The Island - Day 2
The tourists looked at the mutilated bodies.
It seemed like they didn't find the person or persons responsible for the killings yet.
"Well, at least they did the butchering for us already. Why not having a barbecue while we gather? That pizza dude surely must taste delicious when barbecued properly."
Most tourists nodded in agreement and they combined a nice and cozy barbecue on a sunny beach with finding out who the killers were.

While the tourists were enjoying their barbecue, they discussed the events of the past nights.
Suddenly, a voice could be heard whispering through the palm leaves. A voice calling Ishmaels' name.
Slowly, the conversations came to an end and most tourists simply stared at Ishmael.
"What?" he said.
"It's you! The voices are telling us and the voices never lie."
"Voices? Have you all grown mad?" Suddenly, Ishmael stared at the meat in his hand. "What are we doing? We're eating human flesh! And we claim to hear voices! We pretend that we're looking for murderers, but look at ourselves! What has become of us??"
"You won't fool us, Ishmael!"
"No! I don't want to end up as your next meal! No! No!"
A loud voice could be heard in the sky: "You never seemed to have a problem feeding humans to the Trollocs!"
"No! Not me! Not me!"
A tourist grinned and said "Fine. We'll eat shark tonight."
An hour later, a hook was pierced through Ishmaels body and several cuts were made all over his body. The hook was attached with a roop to a big tree.
The tourists threw Ishmael into the water, close to the place where they had spotted a giant white shark.
Allthough he was losing blood fast, Ishmael kept screaming and yelling, in panic.
Soon, the shark came near.
The last thing Ishmael saw in this world was a giant mouth with teeth the size of daggers, sharp as razor blades.
"Bingo!" the tourists yelled as they saw the shark not being able to get rid of the hook in its' mouth. "Tonight we eat shark!"
None of them noticed the giant black hand grabbing Ishmaels' soul and putting it in a cour'souvra. The Great Lord of the Dark Andres laughed hysterically at Ishmael's soundless screaming. Eternal torture would be his. Such is the faith of all those who mock The Great Lord.

Note: For those not getting some references in the write-up, here's some clarification: Ishmael is a character in the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. He is the most powerful of the "Forsaken"; mighty Chanellers of the One Power, chosen by the Great Lord of the Dark. Ishmael is the nemesis of Rhand Altor, the Dragon and Champion of the powers of the Light.
Trollocs can be compared with Tolkiens Orcs. They eat human flesh.
A cour'souvra is a mind trap.
