And suddenly, it all went so fast

[Andres]

So fast.

It was rainy day in May. And allthough it was blowing hard, there were no answers to be found in the wind.

In a large dark room, there was a bunch of men and maybe even some women, sitting together, trying to be poetic and funny, drinking and smoking too much. Loud music was playing and many danced and appeared to be cheerful, but somehow, nobody could shake this feeling of desperation and imminent doom.

This place was supposed to be save. Outside were the cannibals, scavenging the wastelands for meat. Horrible things were happening outside. Outside, where there was no hope. No future. Nothing but cruelty and dead.

But here, in this all too seldom safe haven, there were food and drinks, electricity and heating, music and even cigarettes. Enough for at least a week or two.

The people in the dark room were trying hard to stay in the illusion that everything was ok. That everything would be ok. That it would always be ok from now on.

But it wasn't ok. Not by a mile.

Not here, in this room where, all of the sudden, in less than a fraction of a second, terrible and unspeakable things could happen.

Welcome to my latest large mafia game "And suddenly, it all went so fast!" where the good, noble and holy desperates need to find out who their enemies are!

Boring basic stuff:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Each day or night phase will last approximately 24 hours. This may be extended or shortened due to real life circumstances of the host (that's me).

The townies have to decide during the day by voting who will get lynched. The person with the most votes, will be lynched.

Votes have to be made like this:

Vote : Andres

When you want to switch your vote, you have to do it like this:

Unvote : Andres ; Vote : Secura

Please remember to BOLD YOUR VOTES! UNBOLDED VOTES WILL NOT BE COUNTED! No exceptions will be made. Also, REMEMBER TO UNVOTE BEFORE SWITCHING YOUR VOTE; if you forget to unvote, your vote switch will be ignored. DO NOT EDIT YOUR POST TO ALTER YOUR VOTE. IF YOU ALTER YOUR VOTE, YOU NEED TO MAKE A NEW POST.

Notes:

* You're allowed to vote "abstain"; voting "no lynch" will be counted as an abstain vote.
* When a tie is reached at the end of the day, the game host will randomly (as in "completely at random") lynch one of the players in the tie. In short: there will always be a lynch at the end of the day phase.
* regardless of your role, you are supposed to be active in the thread. Severe inactivity (no strict rule, but you can take not posting for 6 RL days in a row as a basic rule) will be dealt with by WoG ("Wrath of God") which basically means that you'll be killed by the host in a most humiliating way.
* If you can no longer play for whatever reason, please inform the host and he'll try to find a replacement. If no replacement can be found, you will be written out of play (honorable suicide).
* Roles of the dead will not be revealed.
* The dead players can keep playing, but they will no longer have a vote nor any night abilities.

Fun stuff:

- since my wife and I leave on June the 8th for a holiday, it is possible that in a normal set-up, this game would be in its' interesting end-phase just when I have to leave for an entire week. Therefore, there will be some twists to advance the game a bit if necessary.
- the game WILL end on June 7th at the latest.
- possible twists to reach that goal are:
* extra kills for the mafia, followed by a day phase with the lynching of the top three of lynch candidates;
* the sudden emergence of an evil serial killer. Or two. Or three. Or everybody turns SK and the game ends in a spectacular blood bath.
* the mafia sees the error of its' ways and stops being evil. There will be flowers, flowers and lots of flowers. And hippies.
* the host goes mad and destroys players at random to satisfy his bloodlust
* natural disasters
* players get to choose between the plague or cholera
* something completely different.

Did you change your name due to being mistaken for Warman? If so, I doubt there's ever been a better reason for a name change at the org.

In

[B-Wing]

In, sir.

[Ferret]

Did you change your name due to being mistaken for Warman? If so, I doubt there's ever been a better reason for a name change at the org.

Haha no, I've been meaning to change it for ages. Couldn't really do it earlier because the behaviour of certain individuals led a game host to ban name changes.

[johnhughthom]

In, sir.

Another one!

Haha no, I've been meaning to change it for ages. Couldn't really do it earlier because the behaviour of certain individuals led a game host to ban name changes.

Certain moderators, I think you mean...

[Askthepizzaguy]

Thankfully you've got mature and responsible guardians like myself and Chaotix always keeping a vigilant watch for such behavior.

[B-Wing]

You can be sure there won't be abuses of name changes under the watchful eyes of Askthepizzaman and Chatoix.

[johnhughthom]

I want to see an Enquirewiththeitalianfoodrelatedchap.

And I want hippies

Been meaning to play a mafia game again, thanks for the invite Andres.

[El Barto]

Very well, I have got two invitations in my inbox and I shall accept both.
In.
In.
I ask that my character allow me to be an upper-class English aristocrat or a drunken emotional Russyan. Or both, if both my ins are accepted.

ONE MILLION YEARS DUNGEON!!!!

Vote: Zack, for remINding me of the existence of Warman.

[Ishmael]

A mafia game hosted by Andres - what more needs to be said?

In, please!

[HopAlongBunny]

In, unless there is a Rookie Prohibition in effect

[Askthepizzaguy]

In, unless there is a Rookie Prohibition in effect

Quite the contrary. We welcome new people with great big hugs that go on for just slightly too long, and you start to wonder if we weren't held enough as a child.

[El Barto]

...and I am in.

In defence of the Senate and the Republic, you shall be cast from the Tarpeian Rock, you Cæsarist.

Quite the contrary. We welcome new people with great big hugs that go on for just slightly too long, and you start to wonder if we weren't held enough as a child.

Hey, why're there no hugs for the rest?

[Askthepizzaguy]

Hey, why're there no hugs for the rest?

Can't now. Busy killing.

[seireikhaan]

Let's see...

Invitation from Lord Andres? Check.
My favorite no-longer-named-for-a-bleach-character Texan? Check.
My totally heterosexual life partner in crime already signed up? Check.

[Zack]

My favorite no-longer-named-for-a-bleach-character Texan? Check.

Wait, who is this?
