(jump to votecount) (source) Porta Reginae was for a long time the main trading port for Arrentia proper. It was built on a flat plain at the mouth of the mighty Queens' River, which in turn flowed into a natural harbor. Lumber from upriver could be floated south to Porta's shipyards, goods could be sent to its warehouses and sold in its shops, and its location on the Morze's western coast made it a natural resting place for travelers. As the Imperia grew, so too did Porta Reginae; the success of the Empire was reflected in Porta's roads, sanitation, plumbing, and constabulary, which were the finest in the known world. Though as it invariably happens in these stories, things changed. A few generations ago, Queen Ebgenia II devoted a substantial amount of her resources to leveling some of the craggy hills protecting the Imperial capital - Dromay - from the Morze. It was largely considered to be a wasteful boondoggle, though she did clear enough land for a small harbor. Enterprising merchants, hoping to cut down travel time between Porta and Dromay (the centers of Arrentish commerce and government respectively) established branches to their guilds and cooperatives in Dromay's tiny port. They then presented their businesses as having "direct access" to both the Queen's court and the massive bureaucracy governing the Imperial domains. This was a gross exaggeration, but unsophisticated foreign traders believed it, and soon Dromay became a powerful commercial force in its own right. As Dromay grew, though, Porta Reginae shrank (or more accurately grew more slowly). The city's merchant elites began to compete with Dromay for business and attention, which only spurred the new Dromay elites to fight back, both seeking to make their city the wealthiest at the other's expense. Though both were ostensibly part of the same Empire, the two cities could not hate each other more. It was only a matter of time before someone crossed a line. Last night, constables found an owner of a Porta Reginae trading cooperative - Murmur Twins & Co. - murdered in the streets. He was one of the most belligerent merchants opposing Dromay's influence, making it certain that his death was economically motivated. And yet, the weird thing was, the knives used to kill him were Murmur-branded. Any self-respecting Dromay assassin would have used their own weapons from their own city. It was almost as if he was killed by someone in his own company engaging in industrial sabotage. Or maybe it was a false flag to bring MT&C to tear itself from the inside. Or perhaps it was part of something more insidious, something more grand than just the petty feuds of some rich fools. As the constables would discover in time, this death would just be the beginning of a conspiracy stretching beyond Porta Reginae, beyond even the Morze itself. A conspiracy which, if it came to fruition, could bring the Empire itself to its knees.  (source) Welcome to this game of mafia! This is a 24 player closed-setup game. However, it is a "traditional" game; there will be little that isn't featured on the SA Mafia Wiki or the Mafia flash thingy. However there might still be some surprises thrown your way! Who knows? The standard mafia rules apply: don't do anything that could be construed as "not in the spirit of mafia." But I'm not a huge stickler for rules, so as long as you don't break the game it'll probably be fine. For instance, feel free to edit your posts to fix minor things like formatting, even if you get caught by the ninja; just be reasonable about it. However, please remember that I reserve the right to punish someone as I see fit for whatever thing they do. My unique quirk: please ##unvote before re##voting. I will not count revotes without unvotes unless you are a double-voter. Votebot finally supports this functionality, and so there should rarely be a discrepancy between my counts and its. I may even stop doing hand counts entirely; how strange would that be? Posting is very important to me, however I will not expect you to be abuzz with posting things left and right. If you haven't posted for a while, I'll probably prod you with a PM casually, maybe with a "hey go post GO POST NOWWWW". If you have a reason why you're not posting, feel free to tell me -- I like to think I'm fairly reasonable. If you aren't posting and it's going to be a chronic problem, I'll ask if you want a replacement; it's up to you, I just want everyone to have a good time, you included. However, if you're put on probation for more than a day, then I will replace you without warning. So don't get probated! Deadlines are the most effective and easiest way to encourage participation. To that effect, every game day will have a deadline. If majority voting has not been reached by then, the day will end with no hanging. The Day 1 deadline will be at most 5 days long, and they'll only get shorter! Note that if I am ever for some reason unavailable for a deadline I've set, you should assume it to be floating. To sign up, simply say whether you want to play or be a replacement, whether or not you have PMs, and your email address. I'm "eccoraven" via g-mail. I only check my email every other day or so, so if you don't have PMs you should really consider it! If you are living with, or otherwise have direct RL contact with, another player in the game, please tell me when signing up. It won't affect your chances for playing the game, I just like to know these things in advance. Here we go!
