The Rules: (grabbed from K-Ness and edited just a bit)

Things to remember:
1) A full writeup of the rules can be found here: http://www.mafiascum.net/

2) When you vote, please do so by saying Vote: [Player] in bold. If you wish to change your vote, please say Change Vote: [Player] instead. Voting for 'Nobody' is a valid vote; if a majority votes for 'nobody' then nobody will be lynched and we'll move on to the Night phase. You can vote for yourself if you choose, so be careful when leaving your vote with another player.

3) If your role says you -may- 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."

4) 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) You may NOT send a PM to anyone about this game unless your role explicitly says you can. This is cheating.

6) Do NOT edit your posts in this thread. This is cheating.

7) Please do not copy-and-paste anything from any PM I send you to the thread. This is also cheating.

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

9) 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. You win some, you lose some.

10) If you are inactive for more than two phase cycles, I will automatically look to replacing you. If I cannot find a replacement, I will start selecting random targets for you.

One more thing, and this is HIGHLY important...

Do NOT talk about this game until the entire game has ended. Death does not necessarily mean game over unless your character is removed from the game.

And one more even MORE important thing:

HAVE FUN. It's a game!

A trait note: A number of players have a power that says Speaks French This means that once per day phase, you may send me a PM, noting that you are speaking French and a message. The thread will have a message posting from me, saying something in French was spoken, and all French speakers will get the message as a PM. As a note about this, not everyone who speaks French will be friendly by any stretch of the imagination, so I wouldn't do anything particularly dumb like do a full roleclaim through it, as who knows who understands the mysteries of that Romantic Language.

This is a mechanic I'm trying out, and so... feel free to try it out. Or tell me it sucks and you have no interest in it!

Ghost City Mafia: The Slayers NIGHT 0:

There is a force felt in Ghost City, a force that few claim to have seen, but everyone has felt. It's felt when a mining accident occurs, but everyone is miraculously unharmed. It's felt when a train is out of control, but manages to make a stop just in time. It's felt when threats to the city arise, but there are those with power there to stop them. Those few who have seen it describe it as a prospector who happens to resemble a certain President Of The United States. They refer to him as The Ghost City Founder.

In times of great need, The Founder has called upon people who truly love their home to defend it. He can take mere mortals and imbue them with power enough to stop the current crisis. Many of these people die, but some have lived on, and been called again. These are some of Ghost City’s greatest protectors, they are known as The Ghost City Slayers.

Somewhere in the outskirts of town...

A train pulls into the station, and out comes a woman in a trenchcoat and her entourage. They are given a wide berth by their fellow traingoers who take a collective sigh of relief as they get off. The woman carries an air of danger about her, as if she might just pull out a gun and kill you just for paying attention to her. The scars around her throat are intriguing, but none of the passengers dared ask their history. She just seems hard, harder than anyone has a right to be. In another part of the world, she might be considered a hero, but here, she was just another threat to the sovereignty of Ghost City.

Later...

"But I'm just a hot dog vendor!" Is the cry that no one heard coming out of that dark alley.

The blond woman in the trenchcoat punches a woman in the face, and pulls out a pistol in one quick motion. She looks down at the redhead's now bleeding mouth, sneers and says, "Tell me where I can find The Founder! I already know you are one of his chosen Emily."

The redhead, fear in her eyes, says, "The Founder? But he's just a myth!"

"Emily, Emily, Emily. Or should I say, Futuristic?" The redhead gasps at the name. "Yeah. I know who you really are. One of the so called 'Ghost City Slayers.' One of the foot soldiers in the war for this city, and one in the service of The Founder. I know who you are AND what you can do, despite having a stupid code name. So tell me where I can find him already!" The blond slaps Emily hard across the face with the side of the pistol.

The redhead laughs, "You know all this about me, and you don't understand about The Founder? He's here, even now. He is the soul of this place! He's here even now, in the air around you, the ground under you, everywhere, and he protects his own!" she then spits in the blonde's face. "I've seen the future, and you fail! Heroes shall rise, and they shall defeat you!"

"That's exactly what I'd had on file actually. In order to get him to bother to take a physical form, we needed to become an actual threat to the delicate peace and order here. What better way than by killing The Founder's personal Precognitive? He might make a few more of you Slayers, but the more I kill, the closer I get to him. And about our failure? You of all people know that the future is subject to change. I'll take my chances." As those words are spoken, the pistol speaks in it's own way, with 2 bullets to the skull to the poor hot dog vendor. Knowing the future wasn't enough to prevent her fate.

The Founder watched all this with great sadness. He could not act there and risk them being able to entrap or destroy him. He had to continue on. He had to raise up a new group of Slayers to stop these people before they destroyed everything he had worked so hard to build.

Zyxba is dead. He was Emily Sanchez, Futuristic(Town, Ghost City Slayers). She was a precognitive hot dog vendor.

With 16 players, 9 is a majority. Good luck and defend your city!

I don't usually pay much attention to tags, but I just happened to see the ones for this thread, and they're great.

The day phase has opened! You have until midnight eastern tonight. Then... night falls...

If anyone has any questions about their role, please PM me. This is my first game I've run, and I hope everything is clear.

Huzzah!!!!

My character has an awesome name. Just sayin'.

Checking in

Would you consider extending it until 6:30 tomorrow morning? 17.5 Hour D1 phase is a bit short.

Checking in. I am having a very busy day, just FYI.

checking in =)

Sure. I wasn't sure if people really needed a full 24 hour day 1, but as long as anyone wants it, consider it 24 hours.

I know that some people never check in on D1, or they can only check in at certain times during the day, so having a full 24 hour period gives everyone equal time to check in. Usually if the players want to end D1 early, they will vote "no lynch". This is your game though, so you can run it however you want (not meaning to sound snarky, just meaning to say I don't want to make any decisions for you).

Look forward to this game =]

HAM?!!! *proceeds to eat the thread*
