Netherworld II [Concluded]
For many millenia, the Worlds were at peace. The world of the Gods oversaw the world of Humans. The just and righteous souls would go to the world of the Gods when they died. Those souls who were not just and righteous would be sent to the World of the Demons, or the Netherworld. There, they served their punishments for their time upon the World of Humans. When their punishment was complete, the soul awaited reassignment to the world of Humans in Purgatory. The cycle continued, and all was well.
Until the ruler of the Netherworld declared he would no longer be subordinate to the grand process. A great raid was launched on the world of Humans. Demons claimed the souls of all they could find, without regard to their righteousness. When it was finished, a great number had been claimed. The World of Gods would not stand for such a violation, and agents were dispatched to the Netherworld to reclaim the souls. The lord of the Netherworld knew this would happen, and prepared. What had not been accounted for, however, was betrayal. The guardian to one of the few entrances to the Netherworld, Hades, abandoned his post. The agents of the Gods made their way through the Styx River without notice. The Gods instigated a great turmoil in the Netherworld, as the community of demons panicked to account for their presence.
When the dust settled, the Gods were slain. They had failed their orders. The souls taken during the great raid were not recovered. Yet, it was not a total loss for the Gods. During the chaos, the Netherworld was forever changed. Hades overthrew his master, and declared himself the new ruler of the Netherworld. Further, the Gods had not been idle during the chaos. During his coup, Hades lost the narrow grip he held over his previous realm, the borderlands between the realm of humans, and the Netherworld. When spies from the world of the Gods reported a vacuum of authority, and while the Netherworld had its attention occupied, the Gods sent forth an expedition to secure the borderlands to extend a buffer of control against the Netherworld.
Sparsely populated, inhabited mostly by wandering, lost spirits and the occasional malevolent demon, the key strategic points of the borderlands proved easy to subjugate. The Gods quickly set up their largest encampment just outside of the entrance to the Styx River. As the Styx stood as the largest of the three entrances to the Netherworld, the Gods quickly attended to its fortification. Going beyond mere military matters, a small-scale government was established, to ensure management of affairs. The Gods sent out agents to impress all manner of spirit and demon it possibly could, as a brace for possible conflict. At the head of the encampment stood the Governor-General. For a time, it seemed that all was going as well.
Of course, not all were happy to hear of this success. Following his coup, Hades' victorious mood turned sour quickly upon hearing that his old home had been annexed. Diplomacy, and the fragile state of his new rule, prevented him from outright demanding the removal of the encampment; it had, after all, been seized during the previous ruler's reign, and he was not entitled to the lost possessions of his predecessor. Despite continued “insistence” to the world of Gods that he be given the borderlands back, he never met success. For a time, this uneasy peace continued. But neither the Gods nor Hades would be fool enough to think it could last...
Rules:
NO QUOTING HOST'S PMS, NO QUOTING CHATLOGS, NO SCREENSHOTS, NO ALTERNATE ACCOUNTS, AND NO TRANSLATING PM'S-You may claim whatever you want, including role name, so long as you don't quote my PM's word for word, or very close to word for word.
The dead cannot reveal anything, including previous night actions, but they may participate as much as they want to contribute to general discussion. The dead also may not communicate outside the thread in any way, shape, or form relating to this game, be it via PM, chat, quicktopic, or other.
I do not allow Vote: No Lynch as an option. Period. You may abstain, however.
If you wish to take back a vote, you CANNOT do it by editing a previous post. I will not count it. Period. You must unvote:PlayerX in order to recant the previous vote. In order to vote for someone, you must do so in the usual Vote:Yaseikhaan style. Votes must be bolded, for reference.
WOGs will occur if a person does not vote 3 rounds in a row, or if they do not vote in 4 rounds in total. Please, please don't make me WOG you. It won't be a pretty death.
Suicides will only be allowed in the event of a person being very much unable to participate in the game. I do not allow suicides for any other reason.
No links to anything outside of this thread. Period. I don't care if it pertains to something completely irrelevant.
It would be very helpful for the sake of my sanity if player's kept a tally running.
DON'T MESS WITH THE TALLY! If I determine ANYONE is intentionally misrepresenting the tally, I WILL wog the offender immediately.
Voting periods will be 24 hours, though I may occasionally extend it to 36 if necessary.
Any ties in voting will await someone to break it. First vote to either person who is tied will result in lynch, regardless of any posts after it.
Roles:
There's going to be a good variety of roles. I will confirm that that there will be at least two doctors. I will not confirm the presence of any other exact roles as of now, except that they do exist. I am planning for four mafioso, if I get my goal of 40 players.
I'M LOOKING FOR FORTY PLAYERS, SO PLEASE JOIN! I can go a bit over forty, but no more than forty five at most.
