 Hello, and welcome to the Universe of Tomorrow Expo! It's been calculated that you could live for five hundred years, and still not see all the Expo has to show you! That's where I come in! I'm the N-Sider, your friendly and convenient virtual tour guide, and I'm here to direct you to the absolute highlights that we have to offer.  Right now you're standing in the Worlds Plaza, brought to you by the Weyland Consortium! As I'm sure you can see, the plaza depicts Earth, the Moon, and Mars, the three worlds that, thanks to the visionary leadership of founder Jack Weyland*, humanity inhabits. But did you know that the plaza is large enough to contain almost one percent of their combined population**? On display you can find out more about Weyland's many ventures, ranging from construction--including the entirety of the Expo's structures--to banking, to private security, to my personal favorite, space exploration! It's quite the variety, but I can guarantee that it's all out of this world! *We are legally obligated to mention that Jack Weyland is no longer personally affiliated with Weyland Consortium **Actually fitting all of those people into this space would be a gross violation of California fire codes, and should not be attempted  But maybe you prefer something closer to home! Well, you can't get much closer to home than your own DNA! At Jinteki's Genetics Pavilion, you can see all the latest advances in pushing the human genome to its limit! Ever wanted to be stronger? Faster? Smarter? Maybe you want to give feathers a try, instead of hair! All of these--and much much more--have become easily possible through the magic of gene therapy! If you feel that's a bit much, you can instead tour the latest in Jinteki's many lines of clones! Ranging from the strong, hardworking Henrys to the ace drivers of the Tenma line, or even Caprice Nisei, the first clone officer of the NAPD, Jinteki's clone laborers are making life easier for people everywhere*! *The Jinteki corporation would like to take this opportunity to remind you that clones are not people.  Not everyone agrees that genetic modification is the path forward for mankind. For an alternative take, you can visit the Cybernetics Court, sponsored by Haas-Bioroid! Haas-Bioroid--or HB, as they are colloquially known, is on the cutting edge of mechanical engineering, and nowhere is that more obvious than here. Besides producing a truly astounding array of cybernetic enhancements (an invaluable aid for our brave veterans of the Martian rebellion), HB are also the creators of--you know it--the bioroid! Once thought completely impossible, HB's revolutionary* brain-taping technology has made AI a reality. Imagine, a world where every single human can live a life of leisure, waited on by bioroids**! It could be closer than you think! *And proprietary **Haas-Bioroid would like to take this opportunity to remind you that all bioroids are three-laws compliant, and incapable of harming a human being  But maybe this is all a bit much for you. Maybe you want to kick back and relax with something familiar. Might I suggest a nice warm cup of YucaBean? Head over to NBN's Franchise City, to see displays by over 20,000 of the brands you know and love*! While Weyland built the Expo on the ground, we have NBN to thank for its virtual and media presence--via the Sync network, you can enjoy unparalleled connection speeds on the Expo grounds, so you can share as many of your experiences here as you want with your friends back home! Or maybe you want to take in some of the Expo's sights from the comfort of your hotel room? Just tune to any of channels 432--479 for live broadcasts, or stream any single display in the fair directly to your PAD from the official Universe of Tomorrow website! *We are legally obliged by the state of California to state that these brands are owned in total by 86 distinct corporations **NBN reserves the rights to the images of all Expo attendees, as per clause 34. a. iii. of the ticket purchase agreement The possibilities are endless in the Universe of Tomorrow! And rest assured, despite concerns that have been raised due to recent rumors, the Expo's security measures are entirely foolprrrrrrrrrRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR-- "See? I told you it'd be easy. They never expect you to go after the ICE itself. Oh, hey there! Looks like you just got the full spiel, huh? Well, it's all a steaming pile of bullshit. Especially that last bit, but you probably already knew that one. Just so you know, this isn't just a big show. All of the corporations--*all* of them--have an agenda here beyond tacky marketing. And wherever a hidden agenda can be found, well, we'll be there too. But what do you care? Go on, go get the YucaBean. You look like you need to relax. See you around--NBN certainly will." -oof! So enjoy your stay!

Welcome to Netrunner Mafia, a closed setup game for 21 people, because I can't limit my ambition even though this is my first hosted game. The roles will be pretty familiar to all of you--nothing too outlandish. However, in addition to their roles, a number of players will be holding on to important corporate secrets! Hold on to these, because who knows what could happen if they fall into the wrong* hands? (I do not have any guarantees for balance  )*Subject to interpretation All the standard mafia rules apply. Also Podima's Anti-Lurking Rule™ Anti-Lurking Rule v3.0: If you don't make at least 10 posts in a game day, you will be permanently ON NOTICE for the rest of the game. If you are already ON NOTICE and do not make at least 10 posts on any subsequent game day, you will be FREELY LYNCHABLE the next day. (Your lynch will not end the day!) The above rules will be disregarded if hammer happens more than 2 hours before deadline (or based on mod judgment), and will probably only be in effect for the first 2-3 game days if you're all good people. Also, thanks to Kashuno for helping me with this setup, but that was a couple months short of a year ago, so I doubt he remembers! Players: 1. Mr. F! 2. Somberbrero 3. Jonathan Fisk 4. Tobbs Gnawed 5. berenzen 6. Circlmastr 7. ZorajitZorajit 8. got some chores tonight 9. Quidthulhu 10. Poison Mushroom 11. Pinterest Mom 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21.

I'm going to lock the thread for a bit; between the other games going on and the (American) holiday coming up, it works better for me to wait a week before moving onwards. Thanks for the interest so far, everyone!
