(jump to votecount) (source) Far away from Arrentia and the Morze, beyond the great desert Charnaz, past the Jad'pu wasteland and over Q'tafi Ridge, there is a place where men are myth and where reptiles rule. The lizards of the north call their land Rahiri, and some tribes in the ridges call it Tomnea, but the saurians of the south call it Sahalia, and since their clans are chief, Sahalia it will be. Historically Sahalia was a politically volatile place, with confederations and alliances shifting as tribes grew and diminished in power, ensuring that no one group could dominate the others. But a generation ago the southern clans were united by a charismatic drake known as Qashmer, who had a vision of a centralized pan-saurian state. With his general and right claw Smoke-Stone-Feather, the southern clans brutally conquered all of lizardom, torching villages and triumphantly sacrificing captives to the blood gods. Qashmer the Great is now old and feeble, and a new brood chomps at his heels. Last week his nephew, Glass-Green-Tongue, attempted a palace coup to replace the ailing autocrat, but he was thwarted. Traitors in every land deserve death, but recognizing his bloodline, Qashmer granted Glass-Green-Tongue and his followers the chance to redeem themselves through the sacred ball games. They would play the blood sport "until the priests determine that the Gods are satisfied," whereupon every survivor would be given clemency. The night before, as he sat in his cell, Glass-Green-Tongue's mind was racing. His plan had been flawless. The only reason it could have failed was because some of his most trusted acolytes betrayed him. Those newts! Qashmer only dangled his mercy as a chance to have his loyalists escape with their reputations concealed. Glass-Green-Tongue was resolved: "not if I still draw breath."   (source) 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. 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? If you haven't posted for a while, I'll prod you with a PM. 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. Every game day will have a deadline. If a majority vote has not been reached by then, the day will end with no execution. Note that if I am ever for some reason unavailable for a deadline I've set, you should assume it to be floating. Try to only post while sober. You can't play mafia well if you're not sober, and you make the rest of the game more difficult for everyone else too. To sign up, simply say whether you want to play or be a replacement, whether or not you have PMs, and your email address. I'm "eccoraven" via g-mail. I only check my email once a week, so if you don't have PMs you should really consider getting 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!

  NOTE: just an estimate, not assumed to be accurate! Current Phase: GAME OVER  N / A N/A1) Anomalous Amalgam 2) b-minus1 3) ELO Musk 4) GenericGirlName 5) Grinnblade 6) Hal Incandenza 7) Max 8) merk 9) Monathin 10) Mr. Humalong 11) Retro Futurist 12) Rhjamiz 13) 14) Tired Moritz 15) Toalpaz GAME START Time Out 1: Tired Moritz, Effetai, Loyalist (Qash-aligned goon), sacrificed. Mr. Humalong, Red-Tail-Scale, Night Watchman (conspiracy-aligned daycop), daykilled. Round 1: Grinnblade, Hears-Sky-Voices, High Priest (Qash-aligned godfather), executed. Break 1: Nobody died during Break 1. How peculiar! Is that peculiar? idk it's only the first night, too small a sample size to be sure. Time Out 2: bowmore, Fish-Voice-Song, Conspirator (conspiracy-aligned vanilla), sacrificed. Retro Futurist, Three-Loose-Claw, Conspirator (conspiracy-aligned vanilla), daykilled. Round 2: Rhjamiz, Rhuns, Broodkeeper (conspiracy-aligned gunsmith), executed. Break 2: Max, Frog-Lick-Tongue, Conspirator (conspiracy-aligned vanilla), died. Time Out 3: Hal Incandenza, Smoke-Stone-Feather, Veteran (Qash-aligned daykiller), sacrificed. Round 3: GenericGirlName, Glass-Green-Tongue, Chieftan (conspiracy-aligned cop), executed. Break 3: Nobody died again wow how convenient! Death is bad so this is good right? Round 4: Diqnol, Prishan, Conspirator (conspiracy-aligned vanilla), executed. Break 4: b-minus1, Dirt-Brown-Snout, Loyalist (Qash-aligned goon), died. GAME OVER TOWN? VICTORY EccoRaven fucked around with this message at 21:18 on Oct 10, 2018 |

 (source) Unique Game Mechanics! This game will have a big rubber ball going every which way. At the start of the game, a player will "have" the ball; they will have 12 hours upon receiving the ball to ##bump it with their hip towards another player, who will then "have" the ball and can ##bump it towards another player. If a player does not hip-bump the ball in time, the ball will ram into their bodies, badly bruising them: they will, for the rest of the game day, take one less vote to be executed. This stacks! If a player has failed to bump a ball, whomever ##bumps the ball next puts it back into play. Also, at set moments in the game, the King will call for a "time out" - whomever "has" the ball during a time out will immediately be dragged to the temple for sacrifice. So that's a thing!

All that alliteration in the description was basically a summoning ritual for me. I'm in if you'll have me. e: I'll even read every word in my PM and OP. Sobriety.... I can't promise that my poo poo posting times won't directly overlap drinking times, but I'll do my best to not make a complete fool of myself.

Max posted:I actually don’t remember Grinnblade at all. That would be understandable considering you and I never crossed paths to the best of my knowledge. I only tended to play in weird setup games (Disgaea, Live Grenade, et al), games that would eventually be abandoned (Persona, Status Quo), or Ecco games (Eulogy in Euskara, Vagaries in Venice, Ronin of Rakuken). Bonus points to Euskara for me being a complete albatross around the neck of the scum team.

I'll let you in on a secret, whenever I open a mafia game, the day it fills I always get a big project at work that comes out of nowhere and requires most of my free time even over a weekend. I'm working on the game! don't lose hope!! just giving you all a status update.

I'm going to make a promise!!! If I don't find the time to write the rest of the PMs before TOMORROW, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25TH AT 10PM EDT, I will mulligan the game and apologize for wasting everyone's time, even more so than your time has already been wasted! I'm just over halfway done so this is so doable but until then this will encourage me to not dawdle! (I'm not dawdling though, I got off work last night at 10:30! on a sunday! ugh)

Hi! I want to sign up as a replacement. I have PMs and do have a Gmail at the same name as my username but I assume you'll pm me if necessary. I can also be reached via DISCORD which will get the fastest response.

Hooray! Everyone should have their role PMs; check your inboxes. Thank you for being patient with me! Instead of saying some variation of "confirm" type the following sentence (capitalizing the first letter of each word): I understand that if I do not unvote the mod will not count a revote unless I am a doublevoter. For reference, all the role PMs look something like this: A Sample Role PM posted:TaoJones - Nessa - Conspirator (conspiracy-aligned vanilla) Character names are generated semi-randomly using various easy-to-find internet programs, as well as random Wikipedia articles and my own creativity. Flips will look like this:  Player Name, Character Name, Flavor Title (alignment-aligned role), died in a flavor-specific way. Example: TaoJones, Nessa, Conspirator (conspiracy-aligned vanilla), was stabbed to death night 0. The game should be beginning shortly!

 (source) The players wrapped their hands, sharpened their claws, and girded their horns. They walked slowly into the arena, the crowds eagerly awaiting their blood. The priests in the temple bowed everyone's heads in prayer for the security of the kingdom, that the just from the arena leave in peace while the wicked find themselves sacrificed to the Gods. Qashmer stood with the great rubber ball in his hands, a ball which had been and would be the ruin of many a lizardman. After a long pause he hurled it into the arena. The game had begun. Round 1 begins now. With 15 alive it takes 8 votes to execute. Round 1 deadline: Sunday, September 30th, ~11PM EDT / 8 PM PDT / (are there non-americans in this game? let me know and I'll include your time zone)To start us out, Monathin has the ball, and has 12 hours to ##bump it to another player. Hooray!
