 It's here, because the people (shwinn and Hal in a game from several months ago) demanded it: Opfia, an opera-themed role madness game of mafia for 15 players. Come make music with us! (Note: there are no game mechanics involving making music.) Expect opera trivia and also sardonic commentary on the state of the opera industry in flavor which only I will understand. Discord is required to play, here is the link: https://discord.gg/K6zv68BT MAFIA RULES (Paraphrased from other, smarter goons) 1. Don't be an rear end in a top hat. 2. Don’t edit your posts without mod approval. 3. No direct quoting, screenshot posting, whatever of private mod communication. 4. Don’t talk after hammer. 5. Don’t talk out-of-thread about the game. 6. Standard lurker rules: If you fail to post at least 10 times in a standard, 48-72 hour game day, you will receive a warning. If you fail to do so again, you will be modkilled. This rule may be relaxed in case of early hammers. Please tell me if something is keeping you from posting! Real life exists, and as long as you’re communicative with me I’ll be lenient. 7. Have fun! 8. Elastic Clause: If I forgot a standard rule, assume it applies. The SA Mafia community takes a lot of pride in being a safe, respectful, inclusive and inviting space. If you ever encounter anything or anyone who makes you feel uncomfortable, threatened, abused, angry, or even unsure of how you feel, there are many people here, both within and outside of the SA Mafia community, who are happily willing to listen, provide support, and enact change to make the community better for everyone. Here is a short list of only some of the people that other players have suggested as a resource that you should never hesitate to contact: Leperflesh and Antivehicular (current Traditional Games Mods), VoodooFly, Hal Insandenza, Bifauxnen, Monathin, Wologar, Maerlyn, EccoRaven, CCKeane, Opopanax, Sandwolf, Shellception, or whoever else you feel safer talking to!

It was a regular day in the world of opera. The birds were chirping, the sun was out, and someone, somewhere, was dragging a young soprano through Come scoglio kicking and screaming. Suddenly, a news bulletin flashed across that hapless coach's BlackBerry: The grave of one of opera's most popular composers had been desecrated! Who could have done such a deed?! Certainly not one of... You all? Right? Cloacamazing!, Georges Bizet of the TOWN, has died N0! quote:You are Georges Bizet. You will go down in history as the composer of Carmen, the most popular French opera of all time, container of such famous tunes as the Habañera and the Flower Song. Shocking indeed that it was so unsuccessful at its premiere! But you are not only the composer of Carmen. You have several other lovely works under your belt, including a symphony which is sometimes revived. You are TOWN-aligned and win when all threats to the town have been eliminated. It is now Day One. Deadline in 60ish hours.

Yami Fenrir posted:Yeah well I will ##tilt my windmills at Cube, because I am poor and vigless. You get on your horse. You produce a donkey (from where no-one is sure) and forcefully sit Cube down on it. Together you sally forth and raise your lances against any windmill you come across. Cube is shaking with fear the whole time, as you seem intent on sticking it to those windmills, and besides, the donkey is a bumpy ride. Nothing happens.

Suddenly, hambeet swings a giant hook around Cube's neck, cleaving his head from his body! CubicalSucrose, Gian Carlo Menotti of the TOWN, was killed D1! quote:You are Gian Carlo Menotti, one of the most enduring midcentury voices in American opera. Although most of your works have not entered the standard repertoire, excerpts from them (both solo works and ensembles) have become ubiquitous as teaching tools for young singers. Perhaps your work deserves to be celebrated more than it is; you wrote at a time when atonal serialism was the fashion in American composition. You are TOWN-aligned and win when all threats to the town have been eliminated. The day continues.

Discussion on who desecrated Bizet's grave crept into the night and went in circles. When the proceedings turned violent, however, they all quickly decided it was time to wrap things up. "It must've been that German guy with the receding hairline!" someone said. Everyone pointed the finger at Illusionis, and soon, he was banished from the world of opera forever. Illusionis, Richard Strauss of the SCUM, was eliminated D1! quote:You are Richard Strauss, noted composer of tone poems such as Also Sprach Zarathustra and Tod und Verklärung. You write about a lot of lofty subjects in your orchestral music, but your operas are very “human” indeed, in that they feature people who act messily and don’t always get what they want. Actually the mod finds your music sort of tedious, but that doesn’t mean it’s not worth listening to. You are SCUM-aligned and win when your faction controls the vote. It is now Night One. Actions within 24 hours, please, though considering it's a major holiday in the U.S. tomorrow I'll be a little more lenient than I usually would be. Also there should be an extra wins vote in votefinder!

Ignatius M. Meen, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart of the SCUM, has been eliminated D3!quote:You are Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and you really like fart jokes. You don’t really need any introduction besides that - chances are, if someone knows a composer of classical music, it’s you or Beethoven. Have you earned this reputation? Sort of? It’s hard to say. You are SCUM-aligned and win when your faction is in uncontestable control of the vote. It is now Night Three. Actions in 24 hours, please.

Johnny Keats, John Adams of the TOWN, was eliminated Day Four!quote:You are John Adams, and you have pulled off a hat trick - you have composed about the only opera post-1950 to be canonized. You’re still in demand as an operatic composer to this day, given the commissioning of Antony and Cleopatra for the San Francisco Opera and its inevitable performance at the Met. Some of your subjects have made people wonder about your politics, but most operagoers bask in the accessibility of your music. You are TOWN-aligned and win when all threats to the town have been eliminated. It is now Night Four. Actions within 24 hours.
