The Council of Villains- Large Mafia Game [Concluded]

[Chaotix]

The Council of Villains

Postgame Edit: Summary Thread if you just want to read the write-ups.

It was a dark and stormy night; one of those rare occasions where, in every single location in the universe, it was dark and stormy. Clouds hung over the skies of Hyrule as Link, reincarnated to destroy evil yet again, marched on to the next dungeon. Rain caused Mario and his friends to slide all over the road as they raced by in karts, with absolutely no care for the Princess Peach’s safety. And in one corner of this dark and stormy universe, a great mind was working diligently and meticulously.

Deep in the depths of a gigantic laboratory, Dr. Eggman tinkered on what would soon be his greatest invention yet. Combining the powers of a fusion reactor, a time machine, an inter-dimensional portal, and a blender would be no easy task. Thunder boomed outside, as for many hours the doctor labored on this monstrosity of a machine. Finally, a voice escaped his throat:

“Finally… it is done.” The doctor breathed heavily. He was tired, but the same old maniacal excitement was bubbling up within him.

“At last! The Dimensional Scrambler is complete! Sonic will be destroyed, and my Eggman Empire is now a reality! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!”

Dr. Eggman paused to catch his breath after his outburst. “Now, then, let’s fire it up and see what it can do,” he muttered as he walked over to the control panel.

I welcome you all to my newest mafia game, The Council of Villains. This game will have some definite similarities from my last (and first) game, The Lunar Whale. The biggest difference (aside from the game size, of course) will probably be in the style of the write-ups: the composition will remain mostly the same, but instead of the heavy, dark passages that were in the Lunar Whale, I have decided this game will have a much more humorous slant. The situation, even though we are dealing with villains here, would not do well for another serious setting.

I suppose I should tell you all a bit about the game, then. I've pretty much shamelessly ripped elements that I like from all of the mafia games that I've played in (), but the biggest similarities you'll find with this game are probably in ATPG's The Full Monty. There are a lot of similarities with that masterpiece of a game, notably:

-everyone gets a role, and many will have an ability of some sort.
-there will be multiple mafia, and perhaps a neutral role or two as well.

In the game, each player will be playing the role of a villain from a video game. I urge you all to role-play as your villain- some of them can be particularly hilarious and are practically required a roleplayer, as they will liven the game up considerably.

Here's the current list of villains. I would welcome any suggestions as well, it took me a while to find some more obscure ones. You'll notice there will be more than one villain from the more prominent series out there.

General Specific

The Rules: This only outlines rules that are customized for this game- I'm assuming you all know the standard mafia rules, or should otherwise check the stickied mafia FAQ.

-Quoting of all pms is allowed, unless I say otherwise in a specific pm. It obviously may not be the best strategy, though...
-Vote:Abstain is allowed, although you may not Vote: No Lynch.
-The dead may post, but cannot quote or exchange pms, or reveal their roles.
-Obviously no screenshots or chatlogs... I don't think that's been allowed in any game I've played.
-Each phase lasts 24 hours, hopefully, starting with a day phase. If I am late I will add extensions, and if I find my homework () too time-consuming, I may have to make phases 48 hours.

Alright, then. Let sign-ups commence, this game will be okay to begin after either Inishmore or The Settlement ends, although I may take a few days longer for sign-ups, of course.

Additionally, which I forgot to mention before, there will probably be spoilers from the games these villains are in. Probably shouldn't be too big of a deal.

EDIT: Finally hit the 30-player benchmark. Hopefully I'll have about 5 additional friends of mine joining (splitpersonality is one), and some leftovers from the Settlement and Inishmore before the game starts on Thursday. I suppose the game can be deemed playable, now.
