there is only one hell:
the one we live in now

The expedition took the better part of two months. Each day the team traveled further and further away from civilization: a boat from Dromay; a caravan from Linop; horses in Quzz; then finally salt ostriches from a small trading post in a barbaric tongue so incomprehensible that the good doctor did not even attempt to write it down. But at last they were there: the salt flats of Solenie, along the southern edge of the White Wastes. Dr. Selene Pereau, professor of archaeology, and her partner, Dr. Chao Slord, had finally arrived at what they believed to be the resting place of an ancient treasure. The specifics were kept secret among the rest of the members of the expedition, but one thing was clear: what would be discovered here would lead to unimaginable wealth and power.
They set up camp one night near a large rock formation. A full moon hung in the sky, flanked by strange aurorae and stranger stars. By the morning, Dr. Slord would be murdered, and the entire expedition would be thrown into chaos.

Welcome to this game of mafia! This is a 21-27 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, your AIM if you have it (but I know you don't anymore), 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!

Reminder that flavor can actually help you in ecco games. Putting that out there now before the game starts because the number of times people have ignored it has been criminal IMO.
