Once upon a time...
there was the the Justice League OF America. But that was another era, when the world could afford borders and boundaries. When heroes could claim national loyalties and feel justified in their claims.

But in today's world there's no longer room for borders and boundaries. The walls between nations have to fall if our planet is to survive. So for the new era, a new league:

THE JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL.

========================================================

The monitor room of the JLI Embassy in New York:

A costumed man watched as a man on the television thundered sermon-like...

For months now we've watched as this new Justice League blundered about the world -- leaving confusion and destruction in its wake. Now having gained international status, these costumed buffoons are moving into embassies in several dozen countries.

I ask you, ladies and gentlemen: has the United Nations gone mad? Has this once august organization lost all pride and wisdom? Of course, there's always the possibility that the newly retitled Justice League International is somehow blackmailing the U.N.

Trust me, ladies and gentlemen -- I intend to get to the bottom of this embarrassing -- and potentially devastating -- situation. I'm Jack Ryder. Have a good day --- if you can.


====================================================

Game starts Friday May 1st, or when I finish sending rolls out.

Rules that no one reads....stolen from other mods

Things to remember:

1) A full writeup of the rules can be found here: http://www.mafiascum.net/
This game will be more complicated than what's described there, as nearly everyone has some sort of 'special thing' about them. Doesn't mean everyone has a night power, but you never know...

A.) There is a Town. They win by getting rid of the mafia/non-friendly neutrals. Each night, many of them do something (investigate or protect for instance) to try to find the mafia. During the day, they try to vote off the mafia.

B.) There is a Mafia, maybe even more than one. They win by getting rid of everybody that isn't in their mafia. Each night, they will remove townies from the game. Each day, they will try to prevent the townies from voting them off.

C.) There may be unfriendly neutrals that could be trying to kill everybody or recruit their own mafia or maybe something else entirely. They win in odd ways but they hurt the town so the town must eliminate them to win.

D.) There may be friendly neutrals. They also have strange win conditions but they don't really hurt the town. Sometimes they can win with either the town or the mafia but in general the town doesn't need to get rid of them. Friendly and unfriendly neutrals are hard to tell apart and you'll just have to use your best judgment on whether you want to vote for them or leave them be.


2) VOTING: If more than half the players vote for the same player during the day (i.e. Majority), that player is lynched and is removed from the game. You should bold your votes so that I don't miss them or think you are kidding. You can vote for anyone but chances are nothing will happen if you try to lynch someone who isn't playing. If you feel like leaving a vote with someone - DON'T. You cannot Leave Vote with: Player, or "leave with majority". Voting for 'No Lynch' is a valid vote; if a majority votes for 'no lynch' then nobody will be lynched and we'll move on to the Night phase.

3) TARGETS: If your role says you -may- or -can- PM me a target, you don't have to do anything at night. Even so, it'll speed things along quite a bit if you'd still just send me a PM saying "Not using my [whatever] power tonight, thanks."

A.)If you don't send me a PM and don't post in the following day phase you may be replaced.

B.) If your role says you -must- PM me a target, and you do not? I'll pick one randomly. Or, perhaps, not-so-randomly. Don't blame me if you target someone who kills you.

5.) Five things that will get you mod-killed: Note this is not an end all be all list. There's room for improvement.

a.) PM other players: You may NOT send a PM to anyone about this game unless your role explicitly says you can. This is cheating.
b.) Edit your posts: Do NOT edit your posts in this thread. This is cheating.
c.) Copy and paste your role: Please do not copy-and-paste anything from any PM I send you to the thread. This is also cheating.
d.) Discuss your win condition in depth. Trying to smoke out someone by forcing them to claim their exact win condition is in bad taste.
e.) Asking a player viewing the thread to quit viewing the thread to see if they are silenced (in effect communicating with a player who has been told they can't communicate).

6) Please do not post in this thread after you are killed. This, too, is cheating and can ruin the game if done wrong.

7) Cheaters don't get to play in any other Mafia games I run. Period.

8) Remember, it's just a game. You will get paranoid, you will be stabbed in the back by someone, you will see somebody do or say something stupid and want to smack them. Just breathe deep and relax. If things get out of hand, we do have a mod around who will forcibly remind you to chill out if needed. It hasn't happened yet, and I'd like to keep it that way

The game is open! I suddenly have the urge to go and try to collect all these comics. They were such a blast.

I never read these comics...

==============================================
The man sat at the monitor, bored to tears. On the TV another man ranted on:

Trust me, ladies and gentlemen -- I intend to get to the bottom of this embarrassing -- and potentially devastating -- situation. I'm Jack Ryder. Have a good day --- if you can.

The costumed man was startled by the short man who barged into the room and turned off the TV.

Beetle - briefing room, now!

The costumed man walked into a room full of costumed people and addressed one in hushed tone:

Oh man, why'd he have to call a meeting now? I had tickets to see Bruce Springsteen tonight.

Sure you did. The other man whispered, rolling his eyes.

And I wasn't going alone either. I had a HOT date.

Oh? They let your aunt Millie out of the home for the day? The other man snickered.

Is that all you can ever do Booster? Make stupid jokes?

CLAM UP! Both of you!

That's what I like about you Oberon, you don't take guff from anyone!

Just shut your trap and let Max talk!

The man with a cheap suit and slick smile addressed the heroes....

MEANWHILE:
===============================================
Australia:

The Aborigine sat awestruck for hours on a red rock and watched as the metal pieces danced through the sky, floating in an orderly pattern, coming together to form some kind of machine. "How is this happening?" he wondered "How could this be?" The Aboriginie watched the invasive machine come together and could only assume it was deadly and destructive.




SOMEWHERE:
===============================================
in the Middle Eastern nation of Bialya:

A bearded man in a Tuxedo greeted partygoers in near perfect English: "Welcome! It is a pleasure to have you here in my humble nation."

"Why Colonel -- your English has improved immeasurably."

"Welcome! It is a pleasure to have you here in my humble nation."

Yes, thank you again...

"Welcome! It is a pleasure to have you here in my humble nation. "

There was an awkward silence as the bearded man summoned a translator.




LATER...
====================================================
...that evening at the royal palace

The bearded man addressed the crowd while a grotesque monstrosity stood silently behind him:

"Rejoice O downtrodden peoples of the Earth! This handsome devil is the first of an entire army of super-beings that represent me, Biayla, and all the oppressed peoples of the third World. But especially me. No more will you have to fear the Cappitalists and the Communists! You have found a guardian... no -- a SAVIOR in RumaYAAAAAAAA!!!!

The Grotesque creature strode forth and laid his hands on the bearded man's face melting the flesh to the bone, and leaving an unidentifiable corpse with a face that looked like burnt hamburger.

Anonym0use is dead. He was Colonel Rumaan Harjavti. Or at least that's what the identification in his wallet said.

A woman casually took the podium and addressed the panicked crowd:

Ladies and Gentlemen, the King is dead.

LONG LIVE THE QUEEN!

====================================================

With 27 players, 14 is a majority needed to lynch

I reccomend the 1st, third and fourth trades. The 2nd trade - the secret diary of Maxwell Lord was kind of "meh" in my opinion.

Also, please welcome 'realms member booboo.

it's booboo's first mafia game.

Go easy, eh?

You didn't? I read about 10 to 20 of them and they were all fun. Especially the one with Guy Gardner getting laid out. Or when he was facing Power Girls psycho cat.

Lynch Booboo.

Like that psycho Disney Mafia cat?

Technically, you didn't die.

I think we should welcome booboo in with a lynching! LOL

kidding...sorta.

I don't like trades very well. I prefer to get whole sets at a time. I managed to get JSA 1-87 off ebay for $20 plus about $5 in shipping. I haven't found anything wrong with them yet and I enjoy reading them. Maybe I'll luck out on JLI.

It's his birthday too

I'm the same way, however, they just rerealeased issues 1-30 in four HARDBACK volumes.

I'm a sucker for hardback.
