The 16-bit retro-future of crustacean-based transportation




General Information

This is a time-themed role madness Mafia game for 14 players that was literally designed in an afternoon because someone made a joke on Discord and thus may contain some ill-advised roles (and is generally more hastily assembled than usual). That said, it's probably not bastard. There are no jesters, involuntary alignment changes, misleading role PMs, falsified flips or other similar mechanics involved. So what is it? What does time-themed mean? Timezones? Only one way to find out. Well, two, if you want to observe.

Days will generally be approximately 48 hours long with exceptions if necessary. Nights may end early if all actions are submitted; in that case leftover time will go into the day phase. The deadline will be approximately 10 pm UTC (5 pm EST), even if the day starts or ends early.

Eliminations will be by majority vote. No-elimination days are possible if no majority is reached.

I expect this to start later in the week when the current games slow down a little, but if it fills up early somehow, we start before then.

This game is kindly co-modded by saladscooper!

Rules and Regulations

Standard rules apply.
  • Discord is required to play. > DISCORD SERVER IS HERE <
  • Do not edit posts.
  • Do not post while dead, at night, or between hammer and flip.
  • Do not quote or copy-paste out-of-thread information like moderator messages or private chats. Paraphrasing the contents of such messages is okay.
  • Do not fake day actions. If you perform or are targeted by a day action, do not post until it is resolved.
  • Do not lurk. Less than 10 posts per game day will result in a warning, repeat lurking to more serious consequences. This minimum is reduced to 5 posts if the day ends more than 12 hours before deadline and removed entirely if the day ends more than 24 hours before deadline.
  • Night action results will generally be along the lines "Your action was successful", "Your action failed", and/or "Your target did X." Don't read too much into night action flavor and be aware that an action resolving successfully does not necessarily mean it resolved the way you intended!
  • Most importantly, have fun and treat fellow players as human beings.

The 16-bit retro-future of crustacean-based transportation
Time is a curious thing. It seems like you never have enough of it when you need it, and then at other times, far too much of it. In one such place, a cold and dark one, people suddenly found themselves in the odd position of having just as much time as before, it was just suddenly somewhere else, where it hadn't been before. All in all it was a peculiar thing to happen, but life goes on, as they say, and people were far too busy anyway to worry about exactly what the hour hand was pointing at when the sun rose and set each day.

Night 0 has ended with the elimination of Alaska Standard Time, UTC-9.

What do you mean, gone? Time zones don't just... disappear. Get me the president of time on the line, right now.



It is now Day 1. The game has begun!

Votecount for Day 1

Not Voting (14): CirclMastr, death cob for cutie, Grandicap, Ignatius M. Meen, Illusionis, Kashuno, Maerlyn, ObamaAkbar., Rhymes With Clue, Sandwolf, shwinnebego, SporkChan, WindwardAway, wologar

With 14 alive, it's 8 votes to execute. The current deadline is March 01st, 2023 at 10 p.m. UTC -- that's in about 2 days, 4 hours.
