quote:

A beard is the collection of hair that grows on the chin, upper lip, cheeks and neck of human beings and some non-human animals.

In humans, usually only pubescent or adult males are able to grow beards. However, women with hirsutism, a hormonal condition of excessive hairiness, may develop a beard. When differentiating between upper and lower facial hair, a beard specifically excludes the moustache. Throughout the course of history, societal attitudes toward male beards have varied widely depending on factors such as prevailing cultural-religious traditions and the current era's fashion trends. Some religions (such as Islam and Sikhism) have considered a full beard to be absolutely essential for all males able to grow one, and mandate it as part of their official dogma. Other cultures (while not officially mandating it), view a beard as central to a man's virility, exemplifying such virtues as wisdom, strength, sexual prowess and high social status. However, in cultures where facial hair is uncommon (or currently out of fashion), beards may be associated with poor hygiene or a "savage," uncivilized, or even dangerous demeanor. - Wikipedia on Beards

Ever wanted to be a famous Beard from history? Well now's your chance! Get excited!!!

This is going to be a quick F11 game. What is an F11 game? That means that it is an open setup chosen at random. The setup for the game will be one of the following:

code:

* 1 Mafia Goon, 1 Mafia Roleblocker, 1 Sane Cop, 1 Doctor, 5 Townies. 
* 1 Mafia Goon, 1 Mafia Roleblocker, 7 Townies. 
* 2 Mafia Goons, 1 Sane Cop, 6 Townies. 
* 2 Mafia Goons, 1 Doctor, 6 Townies.

The days will be 48 hours and the nights will be 24 hours or as close as possible!

Standard rules apply - Don't be a poo poo head. Don't toxx. Don't mod sass. Don't copy paste your role PMs or other out of thread communication with me. Don't try to be an rear end in a top hat and ruin the fun for the other players. If at any point after Day 1, you have a lower post count than the combination of me and votefinder, you will be modkilled.

Just remember to be chill, this is a party game after all. Have faith in thy beard.

This is a new player friendly game. If you have any questions about the game, do not post them in thread once the game has started. I will not answer them. Contact me via PMs.

I was coming here to make a joke about Yuming needing to be in this game because she is Mills' beard, but you basically beat me to the joke.

My beard is as strong as my Mafia skills.

Which is to say, scraggly and embarrassing.

(I wish to play your game)

A razor has never come on my beard, for I have been a Nazirite to God from my mother's womb. If I am shaved, then my strength will leave me and I will become weak and be like any other man.

I give my back to those who strike me, and my cheeks to those who pluck out the beard.

Fun fact, one very possible of "turn the other cheek" isn't "forgive harm done to you" but "put yourself in a position where one who would strike you must do so as an equal".
