A mafia set in the world of the 1926 criminal autobiography of Jack Black.
_________________________
The war between the states is now decades past. The inevitable end of the
century shall soon ride upon it's mechanical stallion, bringing uponus the
1900s. In the meantime highwaymen roam the western frontier of these United
States and Canada. Some of them running from their past or themselves. Some
of them run from the encroaching world. Some of them seeking fortunes they
could never dream of obtaining on their family's barren farm.
You are a member of the Johnsons, one of these Yeggmen. No safe is uncrack-
able, no horse untheavable, no faro table honest. Someone amongst you is a Town Whittler, a Bull: a Lawman, whose goal is to bring you to justice. The
goal of you and your fellow Johnsons is to evade their grasp, and remain free
for another day and another scheme.
------$$$--$$$--$$$--$$$-------
If you enjoy cowboys, disgruntled veterans, women of the evening, crazy drunks, and general mischief, this is a mafia for you.
Role playing encouraged, as everyone will have a role to play. Knowing the book is both helpful and detrimental.

No quoting the host's PMs.
Information gained through abilities should be paraphrased.
This is a Mafia designed for RP, if you can't bluff it, how ever are you going to win You Can't Win.
Besides, why would you be letting a bunch of people all up in your business?
Standard voting procedure for listing and free range, with the addition of speeding up the round.
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
vote: Rhubarb Pie
unvote: Rhubarb Pie
vote: Muligan Stew.
You may also Vote: Abstain and Vote: No Lynch. If dead people are distracting you, you can even vote them again. Heck, if you want to vote for a squirrel, I'll even add that to the tally. Maybe you'll end up with something nice in your mulligan stew.
In addition, if when placing your vote, you know for sure it will not change, you can add the term SOLID. In the event everyone is content with their choices, this will let me know that I can end the day early. If you have already voted for someone, but would like to make it concrete: post previous vote:SOLID
Vote: Old Boot SOLID
or later: previous vote: SOLID

Well, I have something very special planned. There will be a shootout!!!! You will each be given a number. Reveal this to noone. To determine the winner of the shootout I will pull that many cards from a deck of 54 (or maybe 53 , 54 is a standard deck and two Jokers). Aces High, Jokers wild. Be careful, some people will of course be playing dirty.

Come get your NEW RE_SIZED! Council of the Magi Teaser Sigs here!
And don't forget what "Canada Bill" Jones said when a friend apporached him and remarked, "Bill, don't you know this game is crooked?" as Bill proceeded to lose his bank roll on a Faro table.
"Yes, but it's the only game in town."
Anyway, you'll all have specific characters with their own personalities, but if you'd care for a bit of inspiration check out this here site:

Ahem, the rules are stated on what nature of post the dead are allowed to make.
Please disregard the detective work of your dead counter parts.
You have approximately 8 hours left till the extension ends.

Re: You Can't Win-Small Game (IN PLAY)
I wanted to post this earlier, but never got the chance - here it is anyway.
*Sighs* Then lynch me then an be done with it! I had no clue who you were Reenk, but your lack of activity and lack of willingness to explain yourself irked me, so I killed you. You voted for Caius, yet when I asked you explain your vote, you did not.
As for my ability to kill, initially I had none. Upon night one however, I was told by Yoyoma that I could kill instead of protecting CA starting night two. If you must know, according to the storyline, I was CA's brother and CA was Salt Chuck Mary, which would make her my sister.
What to say, what to say ...
Have you heard that the swedes have no ice cubes in their drinks? Apparently the guy who had the recipe died of stroke and took the secret to his grave.
