I cast no shadow on the grave
No one knows my name
I ride the wind of seven seas
Gone before the rain
I am both friend and enemy
An object of disdain
Living it up in the down and out
I run with the foxes and hunt with the hounds
Yeah, I feel it in my bones
Like a rolling stone
An enemy unknown
I lose control
I feel it in my bones
Like a rolling stone
You'll never find me on the high ground
I lose control
I draw disaster from the vein
Like fire in the sky
I am the bandage and the bane
The Fuhrer of the flies
I stand alone where none remain
A creature of the night
I'll cut you in, but there's no way out
I run with the foxes and hunt with the hounds
I am the death that makes your life seem good
I am the pain that brings you close to God
I am the prophet warning of the flood
I am the answer you misunderstood
I am the answer that you misunderstand
I do the evil that an honest man can't
I live in shadows that the enemy casts
I have no future and I have no past
The only thing even more out of place than the shiny black sedan parked atop a hill, a few miles out of a small mining town in the middle of nowhere, were it's two inhabitants, leaning against it's side as they looked towards the unimpressive congregation of wooden buildings all in the shadow of a not-so-mighty church tower. "So, this is the place?" the woman asked. She was dressed casually but had a pretty impressive gun strapped to her waist and her sunglasses made it impossible to see her eyes. Nodding the guy put down his binoculars and started to roll himself a cigarette on the car's roof. "This is the place alright. He's holed up in there somewhere."
The woman reched into her jacket and pulled out a photograph, holding it idly between her fingers for a moment, while looking towards the town. "It's a shame", the guy remarked, following her gaze, "He could have run into the wilderness somewhere. Now we'll have to kill all these people as well. This is his playing field, his specialty. He'll use the town for cover."
"But we know what he looks like", she waved the photograph at her partner. Another shrug from him: "And what does it help? You know we can't expose him to the others. We'll have to play this by his rules" he murmured, lighting his cigarette and inhaling deeply. She bit her lips, asking: "And what are these?"
He looked straight at her, throwing the barely smoked cigarette to the ground and extinguishing it with his foot, pausing for effect.
"The game's not over until everyone's dead."

Some might or might not remember my first game here on the .org where every player had some kind of power role and such. This will be a bit simpler rolewise, the majority of the roles will be plain townies but there'll be a bit more to it. It's a bit of an experimental, unconventional setup. The writeups will contain hints towards the setup but not towards the roles this time.
Rules:
NO private communication whatsoever unless it happens in Quicktopics set up by me!
NO quoting or referencing your ROLE PMs, NO roleclaims!
No screenshots of any kind
The dead can only communicate about the game inside the game thread and over public knowledge!
There'll be a Quicktopic set up for the dead which they will receive the link to after dying. If you die and visit this Quicktopic I kindly ask you to refrain from contributing to the game discussion from that point on.
After death players will either show up guilty or innocent! Sometimes their names will come up too. There are no death millers or other misleading reveals upon death. Who shows up innocent was town and who shows up guilty was not town.
There will be a zero tolerance policy towards extreme lurking. Not registering a vote for two consecutive day phases will make you eligible for the WoG unless I get a PM beforehand, announcing why you'll have to be inactive. Mafia will not be spared the WoG.
Voting Procedure:
You may abstain but "No Lynch" is not an option vote: user for a vote unvote for an abstain after voting unvote, vote: user for a change of votes
Ties will be resolved by a single tiebreaker vote. The first vote after the deadline counts.
All rounds will last for approx. 24 hours and will end at 11:00 PM CET which should translate to 5:00 PM US Eastern if I’m not mistaken. Voting will end at that point and votes after the deadline will not be counted, even if the writeup comes a bit later
I'm willing to talk about the deadline if it's too early for you US guys. Just say something
Thanks to:

I'm ready to go, so please sign up, we will begin as soon as Signups are full!
