I gotta take a leak. When I get back, we're doing body shots.


BANG! POW! KABLAM! ROAR! SMASH!


Ah, it's a lovely morning in Action-ville! The smell of fresh grass, gun powder, and good old fashioned American heroism. What could possibly go wrong on a day like this?

BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Your normally quiet street is rocked by an explosion - each hero drops his toast, his morning paper, her mascara wand - and races outside their beautiful suburban houses to see what the trouble is.

And there, where Neo's house normally stood, was a pile of rubble. And one pair of shades, mangled beyond recognition.
"What a senseless tragedy," wails one hero.
"He was so young!" cries another.
"Who could do such a thing?" questions a third.
"I don't know guys," says a fourth. "But that was a wicked explosion."
"A worthy way to die," agrees a fifth.

And that's when all the heroes grew silent, contemplating giant bombs and their own mortality.
"There's a note!"

DEAR ACTION MORONS,
YOUR REIGN AS KINGS OF THE BOX OFFICE WILL SOON BE OVER. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE GROWN DULL AND WITLESS WATCHING YOUR BRAINLESS ANTICS. SOON EXPLOSIONS WILL BE REPLACED BY LOVE SCENES, AND QUASI-WITTY ONE-LINERS REPLACED WITH REAL COMEDY LEGENDS! WATCH YOUR BACKS. WE'RE COMING FOR YOU. WE'RE ALREADY AMONG YOU. THERE IS NO ESCAPE.
LOVE,
MORE DESERVING MOVIE STARS.

PS - I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE FIREWORKS.

"Oh, no!" gasp the heroes as it slowly dawns on them what has just gone down. Other genre stars are masquerading as action heroes. It is the town's job to figure out who they are and kill them BLOW THEM UP AND EAT THEIR SPINES!!!!!


Welcome to Action Mafia! This is a game for 25 players, with a closed setup. The roles are pretty standard and should all be found on The SA Mafia Wiki or that wicked cool flash thingy.

Furthermore, this game will include optional Post Restrictions. Meaning you can choose to roleplay your character, but if you don't want to, nothing bad happens. If you don't like PRs, you probably shouldn't play in this game.

Your mods this game will be: Savahontas (AIM: Savahontas, PMs: Y) and Poke-Protector 2000 (AIM: SAPokey2k, PMs: Y). Pokey is in some crazy part of the world (something about wooden shoes?Bacon) so one of us should be available fairly often.

Sombrero (AIM: sombrero stan, PMs: Y), as acting KING OF THE INTERNET, will also be providing vote-counts and general internet wisdom.


First some administrative stuff…

THE RULES
1. Don’t edit your posts. At all. Don’t try to subvert normal play with t/d, toxxes, whatever. In return, I won’t gently caress with you: there will be no jesters, deathmillers, or changing alignments. This game is 100% not a mindfuck. Keep it clean!
2. I will give you deadlines. I love deadlines. Insta-lynch is set at 1/2+1 and deadline lynches are 1/3+1. Or something close. I am really horrible at counting.
3. Cardflip is ON. The cardflips are 100% accurate.
4. Vote by bolding [b ]##vote Savahontas[/b] and please remember to unvote because I'm doing this by hand, as I am stuck in the dark ages.
5. Please do not post a day command unless you are allowed to use said day command.
6. THE POST RESTRICTIONS ARE NOT MOD-ENFORCED. THEY ARE FOR FUN. If you think your PR is lame, feel free to make up a new one. Please role-play!
7. SERIOUSLY DON'T LURK. I have never, ever lurked one of your games, DO NOT lurk mine. If you enjoy lurking, please look elsewhere. I have a very, very low tolerance for lurkers. If there's some kind of real-life problem (you're in labor, your house is on fire, etc), you can contact me on AIM or by PMs.
8. Assume that the scum have been given fakeclaims. Because they have. Good ones. DO NOT MAKE FLAVOR ARGUMENTS, FLAVOR ARGUMENTS ARE DUMB.
9. Also major thanks to Quandary, Sombrero, and Pokey for helping balance the game.

Y'all be looking like, "Ooh, he a movie star
He ain't supposed to be out on the floor with everybody"
But oh wait, whoa, y'all forgetting
When I was, amateur spitting before the scripts were written
First one in, last one out the club
Bursting in, passing out in the club
Back at it, this cat is the wit and the charm
Taking you higher, like a syringe hittin' ya arm
Bringing the fire, making your Benz ring the alarm
