ZPx3 Presents...
Once upon a time, the land of Dominaria was an insufferable place to live in because of its tyrannical and opinionated King. Nobody liked him, which suited him just fine because he didn't like anybody except his waifu, the Queen. However, deposing him was difficult because he was both Lynchproof and Bulletproof and even were those not a thing, none could surmount his super move: Wall of Text. Indeed, if not for a miracle, the King of Dominaria would continue to reign for countless more years. How boring.
But thankfully, all that changed one fateful day when a rag-tag group of upstart rebels hatched a plan to overthrow the seditious monarch once and for all—a daring plan that relied on the betrayal of the Queen. You see, although the Queen loved her hubby very much, she loved her people even more, and couldn't stand to watch as they were helplessly put to the slaughter at the whims of the King. So it was that the Queen sided with the rebels and betrayed her King, giving them the opening they needed to finally end his miserable life. And at long last, the land of Dominaria knew peace.
Flash forward to today. The King is dead; long live the Queen. It has been four long years since KoD had to die, and in all that time the widowed Queen grieved his loss. Recently, during one of her annual tea parties, a travelling tea merchant asked if she would ever remarry, and something in her heart told her to say yes. She had grieved long enough, it was time to find herself a new King to rule by her side over the land of Dominaria—and find one she has! Indeed, it is a joyous time to be Dominarian, for a new King is about to be crowned, and a royal wedding means good times for all.
But not everyone was happy to hear about this announcement. There are a few people left in the land who remain loyal to the former King, and see the Queen's aforementioned betrayal as the treason that it was. Rumours are abound that they are gathering to stop this sham of a royal wedding to a man who could never replace the one true King of Dominaria. Will you side with those who seek to avenge the murdered King? Or will you choose to defend the treasonous Queen and the peace that her sacrifice bought? Only you will know in this exciting new mafia game appropriately titled...
The Rules
Rules of Dominaria
1. Read and obey all the rules. If you don't understand a rule, ask me about it (through PM).
1. a) If your Role PM or anything the GameMod sends you privately contradicts a rule, it takes precedence.

3. a) If you're going to be away for more than 48 hours, please let me know.
4. Once you've been removed from the game, cease all posts in the game thread. Not even a 'Bah' post. 5. Deadlines are hard-set. If I am late for a deadline anything posted past the deadline won't be counted. 6. Any or all of the following will be punishable with a dreaded ModKill:
6. a) Deleting or editing posts 6. b) Posting in white, unreadable or 'invisitext' 6. c) Direct quoting any part of any PM received by the GameMod (paraphrasing is allowed) 6. d) Communicating out of thread without explicit permission from the GameMod 6. e) Referencing other ongoing mafia games in which you or another player are/have been a part 6. f) Posting during the Night Phase (but, see rule 1a) 6. g) Breaking the community rules of NGA 6. h) Excessive and unannounced inactivity
7. When voting, or unvoting, please make sure you bold your vote or unvote in the format: Vote: GobO_Scarlet —cast your vote in a bright, readable color: Vote:GobO_Fire—or, preferably, do both.

If I do not receive your PM, no Night action will be taken (unless specified otherwise; see rule 1a). 9. Your role name and alignment will be revealed on death. The PM won't be posted until the game is over. 10. Lynches only happen on Days the Queen has decreed. On such days, a Lynch can only occur by reaching a clear majority (a number of votes equal to half the number of Living players, rounded down, plus one). 11. Days will last approximately 72 hours, and Nights will last approximately 36 hours.
11. a) I will prolong Nights by 24 hours if they intersect with both Saturday and Sunday. 11. b) Days/Nights can end early if a Lynch is decided or all Night actions are submitted.
12. Remember to have fun and be respectful of fellow players. Do not take anything personally! After all, who knows if the action you are taking personally isn't just a mafia ploy to make you anxious and get yourself killed...
Rules of Dominaria, Appendix A: Glossary of Terms
These terms are defined as follows:
Bulletproof. A bulletproof player cannot be killed by actions, but may still be lynched.
Lynchproof. A lynchproof player cannot be voted to be lynched, but may still be killed by actions.
Roleblocked. A roleblocked player cannot perform actions. Passive abilities and votes are unaffected.
Voteblocked. A voteblocked player cannot vote someone to be lynched.
Monster. A non-human creature born of evil magic or a curse. Non-human roles are classified as "Monsters," which has a mechanical impact on their interactions with others.
Rules of Dominaria, Appendix B: Day/Night 1, & the Royal Wedding
There are three phases of the game that behave in a very non-standard manner. Those are:
• Day 1: The first Day of the game will have a Lynch, but there will be no voting. The Day 1 Lynch is predetermined and cannot be changed. As such, the first Day of the game is mostly just a bonus discussion phase, which will last only 36 hours instead of the standard 72. Nobody may submit Day actions for the first Day. • Night 1: The first Night of the game will not be a phase at all. When Day 1 ends, there will be a simple "cut scene" describing what occurs during the Night, after which the game will proceed directly into Day 2, which is the first "normal" Day of the game. Nobody may submit Night actions for the first Night. • The Royal Wedding Day: On any Day after the first of the Queen's choosing, there will be a Royal Wedding, in which all activities will cease while the citizens of Dominaria are attending the celebration. There will not be a Lynch, and no Day actions may be submitted this Day either. The Day of the Royal Wedding will see the Queen's fiancé be coronated as the New King of Dominaria. Like the first Day, the Day of the Royal Wedding will have a reduced duration (36 hours from the moment the Queen announces the Royal Wedding Day is at hand).
Besides these three phases, all Day/Night phases will proceed as normal, and on Days of the Queen's choosing a Lynch will occur as is standard for a Mafia game. Days last 72 hours, and Nights last 36 (unless the Night intersects with both a Saturday and Sunday; see Rule #11.a). Days/Nights can end early if a Lynch is decided or all Night actions are submitted.
Rules of Dominaria, Appendix C: Gendered Roles
There are two roles in this game that have predefined "genders" that are irrespective of the players who play them: The Queen of Dominaria (she/her) and the New King of Dominaria (he/him). It's 2024, and this GameMod firmly supports using proper desired gender pronouns to address people, but much of the lore text has already been pre-written before I even know who at least one of these roles is going to be delivered to. Please be aware there is no intent on the part of the Game's designer to misgender anyone in this game, but the players who receive those roles will continue to be addressed by the predetermined pronouns for them in all of the lore text. Just treat it as a roleplaying experience, as I am not misgendering you, rather, I am simply gendering the character you are playing. If this upsets anyone, please let me know, and I will attempt to address it.
Note: I reserve the right to amend some of the rules and glossary of terms if the need arises.

The King is dead. Long live the Queen.
It is a peaceful time in the land of Dominaria. It has been four long years since KoD had to die and in all that time the Queen has ruled over her people alone, but that is about to change. A new King is to be crowned through the holy bonds of matrimony, for the Queen has chosen a suitor to whom she will soon be wed. The people of the land are cautiously optimistic, for although the previous King had gone mad with power, only a small portion of people choose to believe in the unsubstantiated rumors that this madness is a curse befalling any who wear the King's crown. Most know the truth: the madness did not belong to the crown but to the individual who wore it. Thankfully, that individual is long dead, may he rest in peace.
As the sun shines on a bright new Day, the citizens of Dominaria gather in the capital city square by order of the Queen to bear witness to an important announcement that will shape all their futures. Many expect this announcement will be a proclamation of her pending nuptials, and truth be told, they are at least in part correct...
Before long, the royal trumpets play, and the servants of the Queen bring out her audacious throne. A herald speaks. "Hear yee, hear yee, one and all, loyal subjects of the Crown. You have all been summoned here today for a somber occasion. Yes, the rumors are true, your Queen will soon be wed, but that is not why she has gathered you here today. Before that holiest of celebrations can occur, we must put to bed the last remnants of those grisly affairs that took place four years ago. As you all know, four years ago, a group of rag-tag rebels did the impossible and killed the unkillable King, ending the chaos and madness that poisoned the soul of Dominaria. For many of you, that was the end of the tale, but the story continues. It may surprise you to learn that since then, the surviving co-conspirators have been locked away in the castle Tower, awaiting final judgment. Although the penalty for conspiracy to commit regicide is clear, the Queen didn't have the heart to shed more blood when so much blood had already been shed. That avoidance of justice ends today, for the law prevents a new King from being crowned so long as the former King's killers yet live..."
The herald pauses for a moment to let that sink in. Hushed whispers spread throughout the crowd as the citizens of Dominaria realize what he has told them. Finally, he shouts, "Bring forth the prisoner!"
Ragnarokio is dragged in chains out before the shocked crowd.
"Loyal citizens of Dominaria, I present to you, Ragnarokio, leader and last surviving member of the Rebels who killed the King. Ragnarokio, you stand accused and found guilty of leading a conspiracy to commit regicide, for which the penalty is a public Lynching. The law states that you must be put to death before the Queen can remarry, and so, by royal decree, at end of Day today you will hang until you are dead. It is a mercy on the part of the Queen that you may have some final words with the people of Dominaria prior to your execution, and so I give you leave to do that. Know that escape is truly impossible, so relish your final hours while they last. By order of the Queen!"
The crowd doesn't quite know how to take this information. Many of them believe Rag to be a hero who saved the land from a tyrant, yet some believe it was a gross abuse of power that, no matter how well-intentioned, Rag could kill the King and escape justice for this long. Some people cheer, others boo; many, however, look on in silence, as the doomed prisoner, under constant supervision, is allowed to mingle with all of them one last time.
Suddenly, the royal trumpets sound again, and the herald shouts, "Everyone, bow your heads in respect! The Queen of Dominaria is here! Long live the Queen!"
With roaring applause from onlookers everywhere, the pure embodiment of power and beauty, the one, the only, Queenie, the Queen of Dominaria, arrives from her royal carriage and takes her place on her throne, high above the rest. Joined moments later by her consort, shadow amber, the Royal Fiancé, who simply stands to her right (for it would be inappropriate to sit in a throne prior to his coronation).
The Queen speaks:
Queenie wrote:
"Citizens of Dominaria, hear your Queen! Many of us still hold pain from those ugly affairs brought upon us by my deceased husbando four years ago, perhaps myself most of all, but today is a joyous day. Finally, at long last, we can tie up the remaining loose ends and put this grisly matter to rest. Finally, our wounds can heal, and we can move forward into the bright, new future, unburdened by our traumas of the past. Ragnarokio, do not regret what you've done for us, for although you face death today, understand that your death is not in vain; it was your sacrifice four years ago that bought us this peace, and your death today elevates you to a martyr who's absence will buy us peace for hopefully many more years to come. Today marks the first day of our rebuilding Dominaria for a greater tomorrow. Let us celebrate this new, hopeful future, together."
That yellow so bright I can’t read what the Queen says. I think that’s breaking a rule.
Pro-tip: you can change your board style if you goto your user control panel and then Board Preferences. There are three styles, not all of which are sure to make that yellow font illegible.
Alternatively, if you refuse to change your board style, you can highlight the text to make it easier to read. Or copy-paste the text anywhere else.

Next time you're on your own.
(Plus, in all likelihood, flavour text is unimportant anyway...)
