here come the planes
A breeze blows over the empty lands, which have lain (mostly) untouched for the last five years. The fragments of the objects and bodies that populated it in days long past have rotted away, and a layer of dust has covered the gallows. Whatever caused the events back then has not been seen since.

But, then.

In an instant, 15... things appear. It's as if they've always been here; the land is suddenly specked with artifacts of where they've been and what they're doing now. It's strangely familiar, but as inexplicable as it was so long before. All that's known is that the promise of this new world and dominion over it is (and will always be) what leads to... Conflict.


*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Hello! This is a CYOR Mafia game in the vein of the ones I used to do way back when (click the links above if you have archives!). The rules are simple:

- Come up with a role name/concept and PM it to me after you've signed up and I've added you to the player list below. Ones in the past have included "Spike Seigel's Gun" "A Room Full Of Priceless Antique Harps" and "Jesus Christ, Superstar" if you're looking for inspiration. Anything goes, just don't be terrible (I might ask you for a different role idea at my discretion) + I'd prefer if you don't pick another mafia player as your role, just for my sake. (It's been done)

- Wait for me to write up what you're actually getting as a role. alignment will be RNG'd between scum and town (potentially a third party but no guarantees) and will have nothing to do with your role concept. Some people might get simple powers, some people might get wacky roles, some people might get post restrictions, some people might get daily goals, and some people might just be vanilla. All players are encouraged to post and have fun with their role - the game's as much fun as you make it!

- Standard mafia rules apply:
-- The GOOD GUYS win when there are no threats to them left in the game!
-- The BAD GUYS win when they have unassailable control over the game!
-- if there are OTHER GUYS, they win as stated in their role PM!

- Days will be about 3 days long (dropping to 2 if that's too long) and nights will attempt to be as short as possible. This might vary depending on activity.

- Voting is done by posting ##vote <playername>. Any actions posted in thread are done by ##action; if you see one of these please stop posting until things are resolved. (please toss me a message or ping me on Steam at the link below so I can respond promptly)

- All players are encouraged to add me on steam as a quick way to shoot me a message about the game and/or alert me about potential actions happening in thread. Will deny all Dota invites.

Taking 13 people plus replacements. May bump it up to 15 if there's lots of interest. (edit: there was!) Please only sign up if you're interested in actually playing and posting! Old guard returning players are encouraged, but new players are also welcomed!

Day 1 (Rolling) Start
Day 2 Start
Day 3 Start

You're all in so far + I've bumped the player limit to 15 since there's so much interest. Thank you everyone who's submitted a role so far, they're all lovely and exactly what I've wanted. Especially yours.

If you haven't figured out what role you want, there's still time! Don't stress about the powers, you're just submitting the role idea and I'm coming up with your powers.

Feel free to talk a bit and make non-specific comments on how your role idea is so totally better than everyone else's. If you have archives, I'd recommend clicking the links in the OP to see my old games, too. There's musical numbers!

I'd love to start this today, so as soon as I can get all your role ideas the better btw.

Confirming that Hiipfire has sent me a role! Not confirming how good it is, though.

Since Shark replied I'm giving him more time; if Gulag or PMush don't reply in the next 20 minutes I'm subbing yuming and fits in for them.

gulag and pmush are cool people, give them a bit more time? :O

yuming and fits are also cool people and i promised the latter a spot in the next game i made (rip)

i could bump it up to 17? i'm fine with that, though it might be a bit unwieldy. it does let me make some more room for sillier things though!

edit: not doing that

I can't handle a 17 player game atm, sorry; I got my own game to run (eventually) and my life is pretty chaotic generally. 15 is pushing it honestly but more is merrier so.

yeah I had second thoughts myself, 15's going to be the limit

The next two of PMush, Gulag, yuming, and fits to send me role ideas will make it in. I'm currently working on brainstorming actions and silliness in the meantime and completely expect to have to rewrite things once they send me things.

After a bit of confusion of who was becoming corporeal and who was staying incorporeal, the 15 items on the empty lands finally settled down enough to get down to business: figuring out who was going to die.

A short, balding man materializes in the middle of the plains.

Well first of all, let me say this: there are fifteen players in this game. FIFTEEN. That's a pretty large sample size and you wouldn't think the cream would rise to the top so easily but THERE IT IS. One man is greater than all others and in this game, in the center of THIS VERY GAME, MY CLIENT will power through ALL the scum of this game of mafia! Come hell or high water, come time for the end of Day 2, you will believe that the streak of scum victories will REST. IN. PEACE.

With that, he is gone as quickly as he came.

this is a true story

when i was in school, i went to a a special smart kids school one day a week. there, all the kids from the schools in the district would be gathered and given more advanced education, more rounded and interesting. it didn't work, but that's not important to the story.

one kid in the class (who's name i can't remember) was into magic: the gathering, back when it was first really taking off and you had things like $30 cards. one day for show and tell, he brought in his whole collection. literally hundreds of dollars of cards, and as all smart kids do he demonstrated he had no common sense and left that collection in the coat room. so my friend denny ray and i stole the cards. i was lookout while denny grabbed the cards, but there were boxes of them and we couldn't take them with us. the kid was going to notice they were missing and make a fuss, we knew that. so denny ray took the cards, unscrewed a vent from the wall, and stashed them inside. the plan was to move them the next week, then sell them and split 50-50.

but when the kid found the cards missing, he broke down. sobbing, utterly devastated, and he knew denny ray and i had stolen them but he couldn't prove it. and we stuck to our story, so they couldn't touch us. but on the bus ride home, all i could see was that kid's loving face, bawling. and i realized that we hadn't done it for the money, but because we were cruel kids and we wanted to pick on the biggest geek in a school of geeks. so that night i told my mother what i'd done, and told her i was ashamed. so together we called in an anonymous tip, that the cards were in the vent.

the next week, they gave him back his cards, and said they'd "found" them hidden in a vent. denny was pissed that the janitors apparently had cleaned the vents out that week, and i acted like i was as well, but secretly i was happy that he had his cards back.

this is a true story
