This game is a little less revolutionary than my previous mafia games and sticks to a more traditional pattern.
Fimbulwinter has arrived - the three year long winter in which snow comes from all directions with no summer to break up the cold. Food shortages are eternal, wars rage over the most basic of resources, laws and rules of kinship are ignored by almost all, and the Norse Gods prepare for
Ragnarök, the end of the world, which is destined to follow this great and powerful freeze.
A small village in Midgard was not exempt from the wars and bitter conflicts of the Fimbulwinter. The populace, once somewhat close to two hundred people, have murdered each other in constant feuds resulting from thefts of basic food resources and murder of families.
The neighboring villages have also been conducting raids on the village. With the lawless status, nobody was able to make enough people unite, or even simply stop fighting, for long enough to devise a council, or a "thing", to discuss how to deal with the enemy assaults.
A small group of individuals have stayed out of the fighting however. These wisemen, allied with a small number of magical elves, are united in the chief's longhouse despite the attacks happening outside. So far, they have managed to keep themselves safe from external attacks, using the immortal magic of the elves, but recently two wisemen were killed and replaced by impostors. In response, the wisemen have chosen to execute one of their number daily, hoping to wipe out the enemy threat.
This game's setting was inspired by my second mafia game on the .Org, hosted by Sigurd Fafnesbane. Kudos to him for the idea.
Roles:
Wisemen
Imposters (2)
Elves (2)
Secret Roles (?)
The Wisemen are the basic townies of the game, while the Impostors are the basic mafioso.
Imposters can, combined, kill one player every night.
The Elves are a little different and have two powers which they are permitted to use only once. These powers will be assigned randomly, and could involve anything which in a normal game a pro-townie may be able to do (e.g. killing, investigating, protecting e.t.c.).
The secret roles are exactly that, secret, and their identity shall remain shrouded in mystery until the end of the game.
This game will follow the traditional day/night phase set up. Night phases will end after 24-hrs, while day phases will last until either five votes (more than ten living players) or a majority vote (fewer than or equal to nine living players) is reached. To comply with Andres' hosting rules, the phase will end with the lynch of an individual with a number of votes closest to the majority after 72-hrs if the required number of votes has not been reached.
Role PM quoting is disallowed, as are the usual banned items such as screenshots.

Btw, I would strongly suggest limiting the day phases to an absolute maximum of 48 hours to prevent widespread inactivity and boredom in the game, especially as the phases would end in no lynch.

I've considered it, and have changed the system a little - now rather than no lynch at the end of a undecided day phase, the player with the number of votes closest to the majority will be lynched.

Sorry Ichigo - I somehow forgot to put you on the list. I accidentally clicked on the reload button just as I was editing the first post - I then lost patience and ceased being systematic, simply placing in anybody who I though had signed up fairly randomly

I think I'm going to make CdTC II my last mafia game. At least for a while so I'm gonna drop out of this.
Sorry Omanes. Have fun everyone.
When are we starting?

I'd say some point within the next few days. I'm going to wait a short while with the hope of drawing in a few more players. With CTDC about to start though, I expect quite a few potential players, especially the ones with fairly tight schedules, to be tied up with that.
I'm anxious but I think it can wait. Anyway, thanks for the responce.
