LOS ANGELES. 2029 AD.

Humanity is on the brink of extinction, hunted by the robot minions of the artificial intelligence, Skynet.

Those willing and able to fight back against the robotic Hunter Killer drones form the Resistance: a para-military group made up of former military personal and civilians alike.

Aside from combating the Hunter Killers, the Resistance protect small enclaves of humans unable to fight. The enclaves communicate via scrambled transmission, however, Skynet has cracked the network codes and is broadcasting fake messages from phantom enclaves in order to deceive humanity into revealing the location of the enclaves.

The Resistance leaders cannot distinguish between the fake broadcasts of the Hunter Killer terminator drones from the genuine messages of the human bunkers. The leaders have decided to take drastic action and will choose an unconfirmed broadcast to airstrike each day. They believe that the pressure of imminent destruction will reveal who is human and who is a terminator drone.

You better be convincing: you are literally arguing for your life...

MAFIA RULES

1. This game is for 17 players.

2. Players take the role of members of the human resistance leading a human enclave using a scrambled communications net. However, not all the voices on the scrambled network are human.

3. Each Day, players vote for who the Resistance Airstrike will target. As soon as a majority vote agrees on one name, that player is killed and the truth of their allegiance will be revealed.

3.1 A Majority Vote is 1 plus the current number of living players rounded up. E.g. 1 + 17 players / 2 = 9.

4. The Humans win when all threats to Humanity are eliminated. Skynet wins when the humans cannot form a majority vote.

4.1 This is when the number of Resistance players left alive equals the number of terminator drones. E.g. 2 terminator drones yields a Skynet win when there are only 2 Resistance players left.

5. After the Day Phase, there is a Night Phase of actions. The Moderator will reveal any public results and begin the next Day Phase.

6. At the beginning of each Day Phase, the Moderator may indicate that there is FUEL to be claimed from the FIELD and how much.

6.1 Any player may claim 1 unit of FUEL by using the ##forage Day Action. They may then send a PM to the Moderator to name a player to receive the FUEL (this may be themselves).

6.2 FUEL is foraged on a first come, first serve basis and each player may only use the Day Action ONCE per day.

6.3 Players with FUEL may be able to utilise it. Any player with FUEL may give it to another player as a Night action.

QUEENSBURY RULES MAFIA

This game operates slightly different from regular Mafia. By taking part in this game, you agree to the following posting restrictions;

1. Absolutely No Hate-Speech: that means no slurs of any kind, be it racist, sexist, homophobic, etc. It will not be tolerated.

2. Be Respectful: sometimes discussion can become heated (largely because that's Mafia). It is ok to disagree with someone strongly but please try to remain courteous.

3. No Direct Attacks: no direct insults of a personal nature. E.g. calling someone's parentage into question, a person's physical appearance or dimensions, calling someone pathetic or a sad little man, things of that nature.

Anything pertaining to the game of Mafia is fair game: calling someone a liar in a game of lying is acceptable, as is calling them misguided or delusional and even calling someone bad at the game is ok.

Mafia is as much about getting an emotional reaction from someone as it is misleading them and judging fact from fiction. Just try to do it without being an rear end.

Failure to adhere to these posting rules will result in a Modkill and possible banning from future Queensbury Rules Mafia games.

You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

Confirming but I'm a little confused

what does "you are all the terminators, you have every power and win whenever you want" mean

I've never seen Terminator. I've never seen Star Wars. This sci-fi stuff is just really freaky.

From what I understand, there's robots and time travel involved. Also, there's nudity because your clothes can't travel through time or something. Arnold has to kill some dumb kid because he is the Antichrist.

Nope, that's pretty much it for Star Wars.
