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. NOTE: I may have copy/pasted some things different from prior games. Just go by this.

Darq Addendum III: I make no promises that alignments are the same. I make no promises roles haven't been tweaked. I make no promises that the number of roles represented from a game will make sense. All I promise is non-participation is frowned upon.

Night 0: Childe Jackman To The Darq Tower Came

From the beginning of time, the multiverse has been known. Worlds upon worlds, upon worlds, upon worlds, all lying on top of each other... All interconnected through minor gateways; it could be song; it could be a flower; it could be a keyboard. But in every world, there is a constant. Black obsidian, with windows that hold endless wonder... If one dares to enter it. A pillar of stone reaching to the heavens. A tower.

A Darq Tower.

...

...too much?

Anyway, one brave foreigner dared to venture with his tall robotic companion, and after a long and treacherous journey, they had arrived at the gates. "We made it, Adam. Through dangers I cannot begun to number, we have faced them all... We rocked 'em... We socked 'em... and arrived."

His mute companion turned to him, and only nodded. As the ruggedly handsome man took a step towards the large doors, he suddenly heard a screech from above. Looking up, he couldn't help but chuckle one last laugh as he saw an immense boulder plummeting from the sky. Some people were just destined for suffering.

DarqFeonix is dead! He was Hugh Jackman (Town), for some strange reason, ka's ##### in the Darqiverse

As the sun rose, two dozen beings expelled from the Darq Tower found themselves awakening in a field of roses. Most had no idea what was going on or how they got here. But a handful... A handful had been planning for this.

All of the crowd eventually congregated around the crushed body of the man, and saw the large robot, seemingly hanging his shoulders in despair.

"Awww... He looks like he needs a friend. Any volunteers?"

Nearly everyone raised there hand immediately.

"Hmph. I guess we could... Vote on it?"

Day 1 has begun!

You have 24 hours to decide who gets control of Adam The Robot! What does he do? Who knows! If a majority is not reached, Adam has been programmed to join with the player with the least amount of posts greater than zero, that is not tied with anyone.

Addendum: you cannot vote for yourself, unless you would be the "hammer"

Have at it players. You have until Midnight PST.

And yes, this means no lynch Day 1.

yay, new game!

So Quebbs, why should you get the robot?

He shouldn't. I nominate myself because we all know it's the best way to make sure 25% of tonite's targeting isn't focused on me.

Though I am surprised and curious that if we fail to give the robot to someone, it's awarded to a person who is essentially non-active.

As for Hugh's death streak, somewhere Dr. Cox is cheering!

I tried this once before (a nonlynch bonus) nd it didn't get to majority. And I didn't want it to be random and still allow it to have some strategy involved.

We'll see.

Off to bed.

But if they aren't targeting you tonight, they might be targeting someone else. Like me. And I'm not sure I'd like that.

We could just have all the players tie their votes to the next player on the list and then watch Darq's head explode. That would be fun.

Might be a nice "welcome back to the games Truff" gift. Otherwise vote: Rokk to maybe help him with his N1 woes.

Then the question is: Why do you deserve it more than mal?
But yeah, I could get behind Rokk getting it.

***translates***

"I'm Rokk_Krinn and more popular than all of you. Now to me."

I say give Adam to Ouch since Ouch doesn't like attention.

I almost forgot the link list!
Have to beat Darq even if he is not playing. He has editing privileges, after all.
