As her limousine sped by on its way out of town, the Mayor noticed someone has painted the words "Sex, Corruption, Murder" over the old "Welcome to ACville" sign. She let out a deep sigh, shaking her head slowly.
"Someone needs to do something about that," she muttered to the handsome driver and snapped her make-up case shut.
"Indeed," the driver agreed, not even bothering to ask what the Mayor meant.
Mayor's Mansion
The fancy invitation took you by surprise. As one of ACville's more influential citizens, you have been cordially invited to attend an elegant dinner party tonight at the Mayor's residence. Looking forward to this festive event, you arrive at her mansion looking your best and ready for an exciting time.
Cast of Characters
Mafia Goon - You are a member of the mafia team. You may communicate with your teammates outside the game thread. Each night, the mafia may send me the name of a player to kill. Your group gets one kill per night. If I do not receive the name of your team's victim before night falls, no kill will be performed.
Mafia Boss - You are the "Godfather" of the mafia. Because you are a crafty manipulator, you will appear "innocent" to the detective's investigation the 1st nightfall (one time only). You may communicate with your teammates outside the game thread. Each night, the mafia may send me the name of a player to kill. Your group gets one kill per night. If I do not receive the name of your team's victim before night falls, no kill will be performed.
Doctor - You are the town physician. As such, you may protect one player every night from the mafia's hit. You have no protection to offer against the town's lynch or the vigilante's hit. You may not protect yourself. If I do not receive the name of the player you wish to protect before night falls, no protection will be granted that night. You may communicate with the detective outside the thread.
Detective - You are the town's detective and may investigate one player every night. Mind you, the Mafia Boss is a crafty manipulator. If you investigate the Mafia Boss on Night 1 (only), you will learn that they are "innocent." On any other night, the Mafia Boss' actual role will be revealed to you. If I do not receive the name of the player you wish to investigate before night falls, you will receive no investigation result that night. You may communicate with the doctor outside the thread. If you investigate the vigilante, that player will be able to communicate with you and the doctor outside the thread.
Vigilante - You do not believe that the slow and ineffectual method of lynching someone every night will eliminate the mafia. You have one hit you may use any (one) night by sending me the name of one player you wish to kill. If I do not receive the name of your victim before night falls, no vigilante hit will be performed. Should the detective investigate you, you will be able to communicate with the doctor and detective outside the thread.
Townie - You have no special powers other than your nightly vote for the town lynch. You may not communicate with any player outside the thread.
One-Time Random Blackmail
On one night (that will be predetermined at random before the game starts), a blackmailer will be randomly chosen. This player may send me the name of one player they wish to blackmail, forcing them to vote as they direct for the next town lynch. The player who gets blackmailed may not reveal this in the game thread. Also, if they can communicate with others, they may not tell their teammates they have been blackmailed (or that they are the blackmailer). Neither team may discuss possible blackmail scenarios with each other outside the game thread itself.
The Rules
1. Each game day, everyone in the town has to vote to lynch someone. You vote by posting (in bold), I vote to lynch XXX. (Votes placed that are not bolded will not count.) You may not vote for no one. If you fail to vote, you will die an untimely (and embarrassing) death. If you decide to switch your vote, state in bold you are doing so and place your new vote; e.g., I retract my vote on XXX and vote to lynch XXX.
2. Whoever has the most votes gets lynched. If you have two and everyone else has one vote… you get lynched. If multiple people have the same number of votes, I will use a random generator to decide which of those get lynched.
3. Everything stays in the game, no PMing people and setting up deals or alliances. No one, unless authorized to do so, is to discuss the game outside of the thread. That's kind of the point. If you are discussing things, then everyone else doesn't get the benefit of your deliberations. Think town hall rather than internet chat room. The sole exception to this is the authorization by me for special role players to communicate outside the game thread.
4. You can say whatever you want in the game, but you can't 'prove it' with my PM to you. However, please stay "in character," as no role claiming is allowed.
5. Do not edit your posts.
6. No after death posts.
7. All roles will be randomly assigned.
8. If for any reason you need to leave the game, please PM me. Do not post it in the thread. If you post that you quit, do not continue making posts after that. You will die as soon as I see your post. No exceptions; your role will be revealed. It doesn't matter if you later change your mind or recant the quit, you will still die.
9. In the game, you will get accused, grilled, made to look like an idiot, and a hundred other things IN THE GAME. Do not take this personally. Do not make personal attacks against anyone.
Win Conditions
The mafia wins when they outnumber the town. The town wins when all the mafia are dead.
Nighttime Occurrences
Town Lynch
Doctor's Protection
Mafia Hit/Vigilante Hit
Investigation/Blackmail
Nightfalls will be at 9pm Eastern/6pm Pacific time.
Planning to start the game in about a week, depending on signups.
If anyone has any questions or input about the game, please feel free to post it. :dance2:

I promise to root out any traces of Mafia from ACville before my term is over.
