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

The village of Podłima used to be a small hamlet in a cold corner of Arrentia's frontier. The people fished the river and farmed the fields and hunted the forests, and on clear nights one could see all the way to the edges of the Cavot mountains.
But that was then. Four years ago, word spread that gold could be found deep in uncharted Ruzelia, and Empress Hecate II gave land grants to thousands of enterprising women (and even some men) who agreed to settle there. Podłima, located at a confluence of rivers and at the mouth of a pass to Ruzelia, became the most logical first step for the would-be prospector. The city's size exploded from 300 to over 70,000. The forests were cut down to build tenements, taverns, and brothels in what was once farmland, while the river became filled with waste and excrement. And as prospectors arrived by the boatload each day, they brought with them scoundrels and cutthroats to part them from their purses (and their deeds).
Almost overnight, Arrentia's newest city also became its most dangerous. Local constables and politicians were paid off by newly-formed crime syndicates, calling themselves "Mafias" after the Savomarine word for "legitimate businessmen." With no one willing to protect the innocent from the predations of the powerful, it seemed as if there was no hope, no answer for Podłima's mournful cries for justice.
At least until last week. At a council meeting for the heads of the mafia families, someone entered the room and murdered everyone save for a frightened cook. She called herself "Stalpłaszcz" - The Steel Cloak. "This is my city now," she told the cook, who has repeated it to anyone who would listen. "I am the revenge of the light. I am the darkness of the night. I. Am. Stalpłaszcz."

Welcome to this game of mafia! This is a 15 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. It doesn't matter what votebot says; votebot is just for your convenience, only the votecounts I present are to be assumed accurate and reliable. If you think you see a mistake in a votecount I have posted, please contact me privately so I may check it.

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 yet have PMs you should really consider getting them!

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!

"Winning is great, sure, but if you are really going to do something in life, the secret is learning how to lose. Nobody goes undefeated all the time. If you can pick up after a crushing defeat, and go on to win again, you are going to be a champion someday."

I can't read it as anything other than "The Paupers of Podima".

I just can't. After a few reads I can mentally jam the "l" in the middle, but I can tell that it doesn't want to be there.

this is not a coincidence, podima requested to be the flavor for a game! also it may help that the l with a slash through it is pronounced as a "y". that's weird and therefore notable!

Does anyone remember that one game where winvirus was the Eye of Chaos outside of the game or whatever and would send messages to people. That was cool. I think it was like Baldurs Gate or Planescape: Torment or another 90s windows rpg.
