    Default Doctor Willenloss and his splendid invention, or... [Concluded]

    Doctor Willenloss and his splendid invention, or how I learned to stop worrying and I love the time machine.

    Munisch. Little town in the middle of Central America. Home to German emigrants and their children. And, of course, some other people.
    Weather is mild and peaceful here. Town inhabitants are content to live simple, silent lives. Well, at least most of them.
    “Commies, [bleep]ing commies! Merciful God, please wipe this red plague from the face of our poor planet!” Doctor Willenloss was in one of his bad moods. “Or I will eliminate them myself!. Yes, yes... that is what I have to do... McCarthy would be grateful, little silly man...” doctors yells hushed to mumbling. He allowed his assistants to take him back to the laboratory.
    Adele, as always, took care of world-weary genius. He relaxed, letting her stroke his hand, and his assistants maintaining his machines. Especialy THE Machine. Machine, which soon be used for changing world history.
    This was the biggest of old doctor's inventions. Machine that could be used to travel in time. Not only to travel, but also to change it. Remake. Doctor wanted to use it for changing events that shaped first decades of twentieth century. But the Machine was still only a prototype, which allowed only very limited time travels – for a maximum of three days. During last month doctor Willenloss and his assistants were working hard on this problem. Doctor even asked his son, professor Willess, for help, despite old enmity between this two men. But only a scientist can understand another scientist.
    Limited range of machine operation was not the only problem. There were others, who wanted to use the machine for their own goals, among them members of Communist movement, so hated by old doctor. It was not known by him, but their agents inflitrated even the ranks of his closest collaborators...


    Welcome to my small mafia game for 16-20 players.
    Some basics:
    game main new mechanic would be time machine, which could be operated by some characters. Details would not be described here, but expect that some actions and their results (even death!) may be reversed ("rewinded")
    second thing: there would be gender of characters, It may become important, as: "you saw that your target was visited by a woman"
    third: every character would have at least minor role (no vanilla townies); every character would have a name. Names may appear at descriptions of nights

    Rules:
    1. Communication outside the gamethread and sanctioned quick topics is not allowed
    2. Each player would have a character with unique name. All descriptions made by host would use these names. Like: Jarema character is called 'Jerry'. Description of night: Jerry was spying doctor Willenloss, when the latter was attacked by masked men'
    3. Yes, that also means that sometimes only gender of character would be revealed in description (you know, mafia like to hide their faces)
    4. After death, only name reveal will happen immediatelly. Alignment reveal will happen after few days, together with role (or cover role) reveal.
    5. There are few characters who, for different reasons, will have their alignment described as 'not clear' rather than 'mafia' or 'town'. Not every player would be aware that it is the case for their character. True role of character would not always be revealed
    6. Time-revelsals may happen. If time is 'rewinded' all actions and they consequences will be annuled. For example, lynched players would no longer be lynched. But, you will all retain memories of your deeds (like scan results)
    7. Each day will consist of 2 periods lasting 24 hours. It is important, as some abilities can be only used during first or second part of day. Nights will last 24 hours


    List of characters:
    doctor Arthur Willenloss, inventor
    professor Felix Willess, his son
    Jane, Mary, Fred, Igor & Mike, doctor's assistants
    John Blake, Martha Burghes, Michael Connely, Adele Delacruse, William Lane, Ann Pferd, Adam Steiner, Eva Znanetzky, other Munisch' inhabitants
    (some characters may be deleted, as needed)
