No one sleeps well in Thraben these days.
The whispers were soft at first, but slowly they grew, until they became a din in every tavern and shop. The signs were growing dire, and even as the priests tried to placate the people, their fears rose and their hearts sank. Avacyn had disappeared, and the light of her church was dimming in her absence. The protector of mankind was nowhere to be found, and even her angelic servants could not reassure the masses.
Still, it wasn't until the murders began that the people began weeping openly in the streets. It was a boy that was first discovered, a young thing frozen in eternal fear. His father was discovered the next dawn, butchered like a deer stalked by wolves. Then, a few more people turned up dead, and then a few more, and finally, even the priests could not deny what was happening. Thraben had been infiltrated by enemies, the monsters of the night come to roost in the holiest city in all of Avacyn's reach.
Now, the night is an even darker time for the men and women of Thraben. Their foes are organized, and no one trusts their neighbors anymore. Brother suspects brother, and mother is suspicious of daughter. The shadows have faces, but no one can see them. Desperation turned grim, and now, there is only one solution - actively hunt those who are lurking in the community, find the wolves amidst the sheep, and put them to death.
May Avacyn have mercy on her children...
1. Obey the rules at all times.
2. As soon as you have been eliminated from the game, please cease all posting. I don't mind a simple "Good luck [Insert your team here]!", but that is literally the extent of what will be permitted. You may not reveal or discuss anything else once you are dead.
3. Please be aware that violating the rules runs the risk of the dreaded Modkill. To preserve the
integrity of the game, the following can and will be deemed offenses worthy of punishment (so avoid them like the plague):
. Deleting or editing posts
. Quoting or minimally-paraphrasing your role PM
. Communicating via PM or outside chat unless you have specific permission to do so
. Referencing other ongoing mafia games in which you or another player are/have been a part
. Excessive inactivity
. Multiple instances of posting during the Night Phase
. Breaking the community rules of NGA
4. When voting or unvoting a person, please make sure to bold your
VOTE or
UNVOTE, in the format:
Vote: Player X. If you do not, I will ignore that vote or unvote. Also, don't put your votes/unvotes in spoiler tags, where they can be easily missed.
5. Questions about the game should be directed to me via PM. Vote counts and requests for prodding players can be put in the game thread, but anything else will be ignored. Also, make sure to bold (and perhaps color in pink or another catchy color) any requests you have for me.
6. Please give advance notice if you are going to be away on vacation/business or otherwise absent. At least 72 hours notice is requested, but make sure you do not leave it until the last minute.
7. An in-game day consists of two phases - the Day Phase (which will typically last eight real-life days) and the Night Phase (which will typically last three real-life days). The Day Phase, to all you newcomers, is the phase in which you can discuss the events of the previous night, who is acting suspicious, who seems likely to be town/mafia, and so on and so forth. When you feel you are ready to cast your vote, do so, but know that until a majority is reached, you may unvote and recast your vote if you have a change of heart. At the end of the day, a player will typically be lynched, and his/her identity will be revealed (see Rule 8). The Day Phase then enters the Night Phase. During the Night Phase, no one is allowed to post. At the end of the Night Phase, I will make a "dawn post", which will reveal who, if anyone, was killed; the next day will subsequently begin after the dawn post.
8.
Regarding the Vote: Once a majority has been reached, that player will be lynched. Any votes or alterations made after the majority vote will be ignored. After the lynch, we will proceed to the Night Phase. However, a deadline will be enforced to maintain activity. In the event the deadline is reached and a majority consensus has
not been reached, the day will end in a No Lynch, and we will proceed to the Night Phase.
8. If you have a Night action (and you will know if you possess one), please make sure to PM me with your intentions in a timely fashion. If I do not hear from you, I will automatically count that as taking no night action. The results of your Night Actions will be returned to you via PM.
9. Remember to have fun while respecting your fellow participants. This will be a learning process for some people, so let's remember to keep the game enjoyable for all involved.
