Welcome once again to Raw is War! We are live here in the packed Game Room subforum and boy do we have a slobberknocker tonight for the viewers at home. We're going to be playing a game of Mafia with thirteen, count'em thirteen of your favourite WWF Superstars and that's not all is it King?

No it's not JR, your WWF Champion, Stone Cold Steve Austin is set to join us later tonight and with the foul mood that man has been in, there's no telling what he's going to do.

I cannot wait to see that King and... oh we're being interrupted by the Chairman of the Board, Vincent Kennedy McMahon!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JAI67yP1K0

Cut my music, let's get straight down to business and discuss our main event and the kind of Mafia game I want to see played:

This is a Mafia game for 13 people where each person will be assigned a famous WWF Attitude Era Superstar.

The key mechanic in this game is Momentum. Momentum is a currency that is spent in order to activate abilities. Every Superstar has an ability and a method of building momentum that will be sent to them as part of their role PM. The amount of momentum a Superstar can generate and the amount required for their ability will vary significantly from Superstar to Superstar.

Momentum is not gained instantly and instead will be distributed to players at the beginning of each night. In practice this means that nights and the flip might take a little longer to do while momentum gains are calculated.

Every character has a momentum cap. If you ever hold more momentum than your cap, momentum above the cap is lost.

Beyond this mechanic, the game is a (relatively) standard game of Mafia.

Days will be 48-72 hours in length. Nights will be 24 hours. These are flexible based on when I want to be up and doing things.

Other general mafia rules (that have broadly been stolen from Somberbrero):

1. Don't be poo poo to each other. This is game and getting a rise out of people is fine, but no slurs or other personal poo poo.
2. If you post fewer than ten times across a day that comes within 12 hours of finishing, I will grant a free vig to be used by the player that posts the most targetted at you.
3. Don't edit your posts.
4. Don't talk after you're dead. I'll send you a PM to an Obs doc if you want to chat.
5. Don't post after the hammer.
6. Flavour is as accurate as I can make it in this game. Feel free to chase arguments around that but be aware that I'm not perfect.
7. No replacements after D2.
8. Don't directly quote any communication from me, including your role pm. If you have OOT communication with another player, the rule still applies.
9. Don't fake day actions.
10. Be aware that this is the first time a 13 person main event mafia game has happened and that I'm probably going to screw up some things because I'm a moron doing this for the first time.

The game will start when Signups are full. (And I feel like it because I'm Vincent Kennedy McMahon damnit!)

My finisher is me no-selling a straight punch to the face and the opponent's hand starts shaking, then arm wobbling, gradually increasing in violent intensity as the shockwave runs through the opponents body and they just kind of do a Rick Flair flop and then I pin em' 1 2 3!! :colbert:

Mah Gawd King we've only just started and I've got word that Stone Cold is making his way to the ring.

Have we got any cameras in the back? He's the rattlesnake, he could strike from anywhere!

I'm getting word from the back that we have eyes on Austin in the Parking Lot.



Day 0 - Stone Cold Steve Austin was run over

It is now Night 0, if you have an N0 action please send in your actions as soon as possible and we will begin Day 1

Night 0 and Night 0 only is open, please don't vote for anyone until D1 officially opens.

Edit: I'm asleep now, I'll process everything I see when I wake up.
