  The endless struggle for domination on the chessboard continues on. Sometimes White wins, sometimes Black. The pieces are being set up for yet another round, but things are different. There are rumors of dissent in the monochrome kingdoms. Accusations of… cheating. --- Welcome! This is a game of Mafia for 15 players, comodded by me, wologar and Cloacamazing! who will be your flavor writer this time around! Also helping me not make too many mistakes in solving is Maerlyn, like always. Thanks to all of them for their help, and hopefully we'll have something that'll be fun to play for everyone! While there may be a couple surprises thrown around, and we have aimed to give everyone stuff to do, this is a pretty by-the-numbers setup, so you can land vanilla or vanilla-adjacent roles here. --- General rules General mafia rules apply. If you are playing, do NOT discuss the game outside the thread or authorized OOT channels! Please note: our games usually feature some amount of flavor. Anything you may receive short of your actual night action results should be taken with caution, as while not intentionally misleading, we've taken care of not letting it influence the actual game. You can pursue arguments on flavor, but please be aware it may not match reality or even be coherent among different days or players. You have been warned! Please, do not lurk. The lurker threshold will be 10 posts per game day, with the requisite being halved for hammers that happen at 12h to deadline or earlier, and eliminated if 24h to deadline or earlier. Communication is key - if something important is keeping you from posting and we can accomodate it, tell us! First time is a warning, second one is a modkill. Do not edit your posts. If there is a big reason you need to do so, tell us first. Misgendering editions are more than OK, just let us know! Do not directly quote private communications. Copying and pasting any kind of OOT comms into thread is not allowed. Neither is copying and pasting any kind of mod communication, including your PM, either in thread or in any possible OOT communication channels. This rule will be enforced, and infringing it will result in a modkill. Do not fake day actions. If you have been affected by a day action, please wait for it to resolve before posting. Don't be an rear end to people. You don't have to be all nice and friendly all the time, but if things get too heated, please disconnect, calm down and come back later. Again, mod team is here to ensure everyone has fun, but I'd particularly not like needing to tell posters to chill. Be mindful of the person at the other side of the screen! Game features no alignment changes, no jesters, and no other mod-bastard stuff. We will use Discord. Link is here, please join. --- Mechanics: This game works on majority, with hammer happening upon a player reaching half+1 of the votes. Should majority not be reached, no execution will happen. Nights will be as much as 24h long from hammer, and can end early if all night actions are submitted. All extra time will be added to next day. Days will begin inmediately after nights end, with the deadline being roughly 48/72 h later. We're open to setting up a deadline that works for everyone, so if you are not on the US, and we don't know you, please note your timezone on sign-up! We cannot guarantee it will 100% accomodate everyone, depending on where you are you may get some odd hour like 10 am or 6 pm, but we'd like to avoid anyone getting a middle of the night deadline. Days are at a maximum 48h long, going up to 72h if they span a weekend. Days end at hammer and threads will be closed at night. You can post during twilight (after hammer and before thread closes) but no game-related talk is allowed in that time, and those posts will not count towards day postcount. Town wins when all threats to town are eliminated. Scum wins when they hold control over the vote. Everyone else wins according to their particular win conditions! --- Player list:

After a promising Bongcloud Ke2 opener, pieces were moved around until suddenly, an outcry was heard among the Black pieces. One of their own had been bricked! The board was immediately searched, but to no avail. Black Pawn C was nowhere to be found. Ignatius M. Meen, Black Pawn C, TOWN-aligned Observer has been removed from the board N0! quote:You are, sadly, just a sacrificial pawn.  It is now Day 1. White is currently in the lead!

I am a player in this game of chess. All of my anal beads are safely inserted, but the batteries have been removed. No cheating here, just a good time.

Joke phase is for the weak, fellow chessheads. It’s a Day 1 Survivor claim from me. What’s more, I’m fullclaiming the entire role as I think that’s my best chance to make the win. Additionally to achieving my win condition if I make it to the end of the game, I have an alternate win condition that I can succeed in if certain conditions are met – specifically, if my masonry contains all other pawns I can immediately leave the game with a victory. Why town shouldn’t just kill me First of all, through this claim I’ve made voting me out information-free. You get nothing from it but people’s opinions on third parties. Second of all, is the second part of my power. I can masonize other players. Pawns, specifically, one per night. Masonries are fun, and great, and useful. As long as I know of at least 1 pawn each night, I can make the masonry grow. Thirdly I enjoy the puzzle of scumhunting, though like, I’m not going to claim that I’m going to come at it with as much vigour as I usually would. I will contribute, though. A message to scum If you deliberately kill pawns to stop me from getting my alternate win condition, I'm going to get cranky and scumhunt harder. Also, you shouldn't just kill me. This should be obvious, but to be clear, if my alternate condition pops off, I'm leaving the game anyway once all the pawns are in the masonry, so you'd only be putting yourself behind by a kill. I look forward to having a chill game where I'm mostly just a 'posting spectator'! I considered other ways of playing this than fullclaiming immediately, but I quite like the prospect of playing this role and didn't want to get ignobly killed night 1,
