You're going to be a doctor and make your family proud. It is truly one of the happiest days of your life. This is the start of everything. Three years later You hate your life more than you ever thought possible. You've taken asinine classes that didn't accomplish anything. Your research is nothing like you've imagined it would be. Your grand idea has been slowly chipped away and pushed this way and that by the whims of your committee that you barely recognize it anymore. You're convinced your supervisor hates you. You look around you and find some solace that almost everyone seems to be as miserable as you are, but they still seem so much further than you. You wonder if you'll ever be done or if this is just your life now. Trudging away at a dissertation that will never be good enough...forever." -- Welcome to Grad School Mafia, a game for 13 players. This is a role heavy, but not necessarily role madness setup. Discord is required for all players and I'll put up a link when the game is ready to go. Standard Rules
I'm using an adapted version of Pod's Anti-Lurker Rules in this game, please read carefully, because this is new

It does indeed. Role PMs will go out sometime tomorrow.

I'm writing up role PMs still and they'll go out late tonight or tomorrow morning, but I'd like everyone to get into the discord server please. https://discord.gg/f3PRHuu Viewers, you can join too. Game won't start until everyone is in the server. Don't worry if you can't see anything when you join, that's fine.

All role PMs are out. It is now N0. If you have a N0 action please get it to me. Also waiting for everyone to join the discord server before we start.

Meghan sits at her desk in the basement. It's 6:50 PM on a Tuesday. She hasn't seen the sun since she came in this morning at around 8:00, and she knows it will be completely dark by the time she goes home. Still, her supervisor wants this draft by tomorrow, and she knows that she has many hours to go. She idly looks at the pile of grading to do, and hopes she won't get too many emails tonight from students asking for their marks. It will have to wait. She stands up and walks over to the communal kitchen to make another tea. Some desks around her sit empty, others with students furiously typing away at their own work. A few are just watching Netflix with headphones on, clearly procrastinating. She wishes she was doing the same. A girl walks into the lounge, a trail of people behind her, all smiling and laughing, breaking up the silence. She knows her by name, but they haven't spoken in years since they took a class together what feels like forever ago. "Hey Jess, what's going on?" "My committee approved my dissertation! I'm going to defend! It's finally almost over!!" "Wow, congratulations!" Meghan says, her smile not reaching her eyes. "Don't worry, I'm sure you'll get there soon!" The party moves back out the door, and the lounge is once again quiet. The kettle clicks off and Meghan silently makes her tea and heads back to her desk. Maybe that will be her one day. Maybe. Jess, Successful Graduate, town-aligned plot device defended N0. It is now D1. Please take a note again of the lurker rules. You need to not just make 10 posts, but 10 GAME related posts in order to be safe. Postcount at beginning of N1: ![]()

And the game begins! This is going to be the game where I am going to channel Ecco, hunt down every scum and finally stay out of the stupid lurker gun.
