Welcome all. This is a small game for 21 players, with a twist in the voting mechanics.

Violating the rules in red can cause you to be modkilled or lose the game or both. Host's judgment what happens.

Game rules:



Vote Mechanics: Read this, it is important.




If you need to see the vote tags and colors, they look like this.

[COLOR=Blue][B]Vote: Name[/B][/COLOR]
[COLOR=Green][B]Vote: Name[/B][/COLOR]
[COLOR=Red][B]Vote: Name[/B][/COLOR]

Vanilla Town Role PM:
Reminder: Do not quote your role PM. See the rules in red. This is to give the mafia a general idea what a town role PM would look like in a paraphrasing context.

Victory condition: All the members of the Mafia team are eliminated.
Mafia victory condition:
You must achieve parity against the Town faction. Once parity is reached, nothing and no one can stop your victory.

Round End time:
Rounds will end at 8:30 PM local time in Norway, which is currently UTC+1. Eastern time in the United States is -6 hours from that time, so 2:30PM Eastern time, USA. Votes placed at :30 minute mark are valid, votes placed at :31 minute mark are invalid, and posts must stop after that. If the game host is late for whatever reason, please be patient and don't wait up to see the results. I will try to avoid ever being late.

Lynch reveal:
It may take me several minutes to tally the results and do the reveal. If there's a need for a tie-breaker, I'll ship it to the Chancellor and everyone else can sit and cool their jets for a day, unless they have been kind enough to tell me their decision already.

Representative Mechanics and Sample Game:

Read this summary and/or click through to read the sample game and see how it will work. If confused, send me a PM with a question.

The players will be randomized into an odd number of districts.
Each district will elect a representative, and only that representative will actually vote in a manner that matters when it comes to the lynch.
The rule for districts is that the largest-sized district cannot have two or more people more than the smallest-sized district, so all districts will be of the same approximate size, off by a maximum of 1 person.
As people die off, the districts may need to be re-drawn.
At game start, there will be a special election for "Chancellor-for-life".
Only the Chancellor can re-draw districts.
If the Chancellor dies, a special election for the new Chancellor will happen.
Whenever the size difference between districts becomes 2 or more, the Chancellor will decide who goes in what district.
Districts have a minimum size of 3 people.
Districts can be as large as you like, but there must always be 3 or more districts, and there must always be an odd-number of districts.
District voting ends when there are 8 players or fewer, because at that point, there would be either one district, or an even number of districts, or districts would end up with 2 people or 1 person.
If the voters in a district tie, they will not have a representative that round.
If the district representatives' lynch vote ends in a tie, the Chancellor decides between the tied candidates, and someone will be lynched anyway.


It is Night. Don't post at night.

ROLE PMS HAVE NOT BEEN SENT OUT YET.

ONE LAST REMINDER:

Remember to be friendly to one another, don't get personal.
It's just a guessing game on the internets with friends or soon-to-be-friends.
If you annoy the impartial game host enough with uncivil behavior I may boot you from play.
Round ends at 2:30 PM Eastern Time USA, UTC -5, Monday the 19th of December.
You have 48 hours to meet vote and participation requirements.
Votes at :30 are legal, votes at :31 are not counted.
It is 8:30 PM local time in Norway, UTC +1.
Reading the OP and rules is a great idea.



IT IS DAY. YOU MAY POST.

~~~An Appreciation of One of Our Betters~~~

Friends, Orgahs, fellow countrymen. I stand before you all today with the intent to extol the many virtues of one of our number. You may be surprised by whom I about to speak of, but the reason for my doing so is simple: Among his many admirable qualities, his humility perhaps shines most gloriously of them all. Thus the task falls upon me to wax poetic about the man who deserves all of the accolades we can think of. I speak, of course, about Zack.

If you're not familiar with Zack, perhaps you might know him by one of his alter egos. Zaccino, ZackCFC, he even briefly went as Zackbeard in a very successful tenure aboard the legendary vessel Presence where, of course, he was immediately named Captain and steered the ship home and presided over the smallest loss of life in all three of the ship's great voyages. His gold total accumulated from that expedition still singlehandedly pays for the satisfaction - and pleasure! - of many a night worker in Nassau even today, and his name still rightly strikes fear in the heart of many a Frenchman.

He is a decorated and exemplary host, welding together many universes in his famous None Shall Pass series with the raw power of an overclocked jackhammer yet also the fine precision of a razor for ants. In terms of hosting games set in an established universe - which I notoriously despise - there is perhaps no finer and more talented figure at this than Zack. His Futurama game aptly demonstrates his skill at this always-difficult task.

Zack's skill as a player is also, of course, unmatched. Truly Visor's better half, Zack has weaved through the myriad of thankless roles he has been assigned over the years, always cutting the most dashing figure on the dance floor that is our lives. He also made the finals of the annual Mafia Championships a year before such noted competitors as GeneralHankerchief, Apoc, and Newcomb, and did better than Askthepizzaguy, who could only muster up a N1 death while Zack, as part of the winning mafia team, gentlemanly subbed out on D2 in order to give the doomed town at least a fighting chance.

Yes, truly Zack is a shining example and role model to all of us on all possible fronts that you can think of. While I, GeneralHankerchief, may have been around the longest, while Sasaki Kojiro was the most influential of us in the early days, while Askthepizzaguy may have more posts, and while seireikhaan may be my best internet friend (and occasional secret dalliance partner), there is one person who shines above them - and us - all. I speak of the one and only...

Heart-stopping,

Pants-dropping,

House-rocking,

Earth-quaking,

Booty-shaking,

Logic-taking,

Looooooove-making...

The one...
The only...

The great...

ZACK!!!

Long may he grace us with his presence!

Probably not. I'm personally all in favor of allowing the scum to lead us though. That's how these games usually go. vote: Zack

For my local district, it must of course be the only person in the group I've played with before, excepting choxorn, who should be immediately disqualified for obvious reasons. The one, the only, vote:Dp101!

vote: El Barto can die.

Thanks for your confidence Renata. Voting on mobile with all the tags is horrible this game, so I will probably not vote anytime soon. Also GH that was lovely.

All of that aside, Zack has shown to be a pretty damn effective town leader in the past, so I'd legitimately be fine with him becoming Chancellor to start the game. Naturally, I'd be happy to serve as his underling.

Those in District 1 and 2 should post their resumes. I want good underlings.

In the dastardly circumstance where I do not become Chancellor, I'd want to at least represent District 3. Failing such nonsense, I officially endorse GeneralHankerchief on my ticket.

Also, this is not included in Pizza's list of rules, but I am adding this on my own initiative as moderator:

Real-world political discussion is strictly prohibited. You may lightly reference politics for flavor and roleplaying purposes (i.e. "let's vote this person and make the Gameroom great again"), but anything more than that, particularly editorializing, will not be tolerated.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

My fellow Earthicans! Today, we face many crises, from the alcohol-guzzling robots worsening global warming, to the threat of invasion from the Omicron Persei Eightians, to that ominous looking rip in the universe, to time travel paradoxes. Only one man is qualified to lead us against these struggles. I present to you: The Mighty and Fabulously Sexy Zaccino!
