Rules... stolen from JOH, and modified just a bit...

1) 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.

2) 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.

3) 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 lynch 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. You can also vote for a No Lynch, but some mods will remove a random player from the game to ensure that the game doesn't stagnate if no player is voted off. If you feel like leaving a vote with someone, you can say Leave Vote with: Player, but I frown upon it. You cannot "leave with majority".

4) There are 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.

5) There are 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.

6) Don't do these 3 things: Quote your role pm or the role pm of anybody else, talk about this game outside of this thread even via pm unless you are pming a mason teammate or a mafia teammate, and don't edit your posts. If you do one of these 3 things, you may be modkilled to ensure the game's fairness. I'm a stickler for these. You see how it says 'may'? Assume may = will.

Have fun, y'all. Remember, it's just a game. Tempers may flare, and people may come off like complete a-holes... but they are trying to win, just like you.

Darq Addendum: Just so there's no question of quoting your PM, if for some reason you are roleblocked, jailkept, target jailkept person, someone untargetable, or something similar, you will be informed that "Your action failed".

Darq Addendum II: The Town's win condition is "You win when all threats to the Town are eliminated." The Mafia's win condition is "All threats to the Mafia are eliminated" Neutrals? Who knows.

Darq Addendum III: The Mafia are bad. The Town are good. Neutrals? Who knows.

N0: It's About Power

He woke up with a start, alone, unaware of his surroundings. His body ached all over, and he felt drained, in more ways than one. He'd been in similar situations before, but this time... This time felt different. This time felt like the end.

He had been given a warning... Something was coming. A convergence of universes, of time, of dimensions, all crashing into one another, and nothing could stop it.

From the darkness stepped a familiar face, and for a split second he scoffed. But only a second. He collapsed, defeated. "The-the thing is... I had a speech. I learned it all. Oh, god, she won't understand, she won't understand."

"Of course she won't understand, Sparky. I'm beyond her understanding. She's a girl! With sugar and spice and everything... useless unless you're baking. I'm more than that. More than flesh -"

"More than blood. I'm - you know, I honestly don't think there's a human word fabulous enough for me. Oh, my name will be on everyone's lips. Assuming their lips haven't been torn off. But not just yet. That's all right, though."

"I can be patient. Everything is well within parameters. She's exactly where I want her to be. And so are you, number 2. You're right where you belong."

"So what'd you think, you'd get your girl back and everything would be jim dandy? A girl's slipperier than a greased weasel. Why do you think I killed mine? Well, you probably thought that you'd be your own man. And I respect that."

"But you never will. You'll always be mine. You'll always be in the dark with me. Singing our little songs. You like our little songs, don't you? You've always liked them, right from the beginning. And that's where we're going."

"Right back to the beginning! Not the bang, not the word... the true beginning. The next few days are going to be quite a ride, and I think we're all going to learn something about ourselves in the process. You've learned you're a pathetic schmuck, if it hasn't sunk in already. Look at you... tried to do what's right. Just like her. You still don't get it. It's not about right. Not about wrong."

"It's about power."

The soldier looked on in horror at the girl before him. "You're not her. She'll beat you. They'll all beat you."

A monster approached from behind and without a word ripped the soldier's head clean off.

"I highly doubt that."

DarqFeonix has been killed! He was Riley Finn (Town/Buffy: The Vampire Slayer), corn-fed soldier who while the mod is a fan of him, he was really Marti Noxon's baby.

With 29 players remaining, 15 votes is needed for a majority. You have 24 hours

Yay, new game!

Open at last. Imagine that.

Yay dead Riley! Sorry - just wasn't a fan of season four at all.

Hush, you

Wow, I was without a game for awhile there. Good to have one again.

Poor jossless Buffy movie =[

Hiya all. Couldn't not be in Darqles game, so I'm here. Should be fun.

Now I really wish I had watched more than the occasional episode of Buffy.

Fortunately my google-fu is strong.

I forgot Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog was a Whedon creation. Now to go watch it again, as if I needed an excuse.

I liked Season 4. Second only to Season 6.

I was much more of an Angel fan, but I loved Glory and Warren as villains.

I'm mostly familiar with Buffy and X-men, so I might be a little lost.
