At least until it's about 6:00 am tomorrow, then it'll be 1/20 even at the west side of the International Date Line. But hey, maybe "today" means "this week" to Ecco...

It looks like a submarine.

I am going to give a timeline for everyone, so you can plan your lives. I am on the last role PM now. When I finish I'm going to reread what I've written for typos etc. Once I'm done with that, I will distribute them in waves. Please do not post some variation of "I have received my role PM!" when you receive your role PM. Instead, message me if the game starts and you haven't received a role PM.

I am expecting the game to start at 9PM EST / 6PM PST / early morning Europe / 1PM Australia.

Thank you for your patience, I understand that this has been an unappreciated wait for many of you, and I am very grateful that nobody has explicitly dropped out from boredom.

Never attribute to malice that post which is adequately explained by a poor sense of humor.

You have multiple lives, and if you die you change role and/or alignment as you shed your outermost layer. Some roles can see through layers and find out what you are underneath. In the end, you win if your current layer is on the winning team, if you are among the truly dead you use your innermost one.

It will take approximately 3 months to finish and nobody's alliances make any sense because people keep changing teams, leading to massive chaos and salt and nobody ever playing any in of your mafia games ever again.

I would play this even though it would destroy my mind to play even a little bit seriously. It'd be such a beautiful trainwreck.

Oh and I forgot to mention the mechanic where something caused our game to keep switching forums so we ended up with accounts on 3 different sites during the course of the game

Hooray! Everyone should have their role PMs; check your inboxes and emails. Thank you for being patient with me!


For reference, all the role PMs look something like this:

A Sample Role PM posted:

Varinn - Valerie Prae - Auntie (town-aligned vanilla)
Oh what a beautiful day! Your beloved nephew is about to get married, and you've never been more excited for him. You spent the morning getting your hair done just right, putting on the right gown, and capping it off with the perfect hat. Truly nothing could possibly go wrong on a wonderful day like today!
You are a townie. You seek to stop the violence that has plagued this wedding, and as such win when all scum players are eliminated.
You have no outstanding abilities or powers.
You are a vanilla and you are town-aligned.

Character names are generated randomly using various easy-to-find internet programs, as well as random Wikipedia articles and my own creativity.


Flips will look like this:

:s: Player Name, Character Name, Flavor Title (alignment-aligned role), died in a flavor-specific way. :s:

Example:

:s: Varinn, Valerie Prae, Auntie (town-aligned vanilla), was stabbed to death night 0 :s:


The game will begin shortly!

On the fifteenth day of Livadion in the city of Ledola a wedding was held at the Junia family manor. The ceremony and reception were planned to be outdoors, but a sudden storm brought everyone into the family chapel. Despite the sudden snag things looked like they were going to be okay... until someone discovered two bodies murdered in the drawing room. As the storm worsened the guests realized the grim truth: someone at this party was a murderer. Who could it be? And could they be discovered before they struck again?

:s: Varinn, Valerie Prae, Auntie (town-aligned vanilla), was stabbed to death night 0. :s:
:s: Illandir, Gregoria, Servant (town-aligned vanilla), was stabbed to death night 0. :s:



It is now Day 1.
