It all started a week ago when Old Simon was found dead in his cabin just outside the village with next to an unconscious Frankie the Snake. It seems that Frankie snuck in during the night and shot the known gambler (who had been on a losing streak he shouldn’t have been able to finance on his small pension) once in the back and twice more in the chest. Apparently Simon didn’t take kindly to this intrusion as he managed to get a knife in Frankie’s shoulder at some point during their confrontation and Frankie wasn’t able to make his escape before passing out from lack of blood.

Now everyone in the village knows that Frankie was an enforcer for the mob so there wasn’t much question about the motives involved but nonetheless a call was put in to the authorities to send someone down to sort things out. What no one expected was that they’d send in a Troll.

Turns out that all those stories you’ve heard about Trolls being able to see into the hearts and minds of men and determine their darkest sins and secrets are true. What the stories don’t say is that Trolls have to literally look into the hearts and minds. When Zorblag arrived and took up residence in the abandoned mine down the road no one objected to his request to send in Frankie for questioning. As you all stood around the entrance to the mine waiting to hear his judgment you were horrified when you heard Frankie’s screams start to drift out to you. As they rose to a frenzied crescendo and then abruptly stopped you stared at each other speechless; surely whatever Frankie had just gone through was more than even he deserved.

No one had recovered fully when the Troll appeared among you again, seemingly out of the pits of hell and dragging the eviscerated form of poor Frankie. Zorblag looked at the crowd with a sadistic, almost gleeful glint is his eyes and spoke.“Troll has learned what this one knew. Him do be the one who shot the old man but him no acted alone. Him has two accomplices who still be among you. Him seemed pretty sure that them no would appreciate that you gave him to Troll and Troll expects them will try to kill you all for revenge now. Troll recommends that you find them and bring them to Troll before them can do that.”

You’re not sure which is worse, being taken into that mine or being killed by the mob but you know you’d better try to avoid either. As the Troll disappeared back into the darkness you look around at your fellow villagers with a new sense of fear. It seems that the killing has only begun.

Game Rules (modified from Vel-Rahn Koon’s rules):

General Gameplay and Etiquette:

1. You may not quote private Moderator-supplied information (either real or fabricated) of any kind. Paraphrasing (for role claims, etc.) is acceptable.
   
2. There is to be NO personal communication outside of the forum postings unless your role PM specifically allows it. Mafia members may communicate at night and during the confirmation stage or the first 24 hours after roles are sent out (whichever is longer.)
   
3. If you have a role with a Night action your choices are due to me by the posted deadline. If I do not receive your choice via PM by the posted deadline you will forfeit your actions.
   
4. Roles with Night actions will not be able to submit an action on Night 0 (i.e. during the confirmation stage).
   
5. Any player with a Night action may instead submit a “No Action” PM to let the Mod know that you do not want to perform your expected action that Night phase.
   
6. As a general rule you should aim for one post every 48 hours, minimum, to keep the game moving.

Voting, Deadlines, and Player Death:

1. A simple majority of all living members must agree on one person for a Lynch to occur
   
2. Once you have reached a simple majority no further unvoting will change someone’s fate.
   
3. Talk during twilight is allowed by all players including the one who was lynched. Twilight will end when the thread is locked for night.
   
4. Please submit votes as:
   Vote: PlayerName
   .
   Votes will NOT be counted otherwise! Votes must be bold to be counted.
   
   
5. Please submit vote revocations as either
   UnVote: PlayerName
   or
   Unvote
   . Unvotes are not necessary before changing votes.
   
6. You may
   Vote: No Lynch
   - a simple majority of these vote types are required to send the game to Night phase without a Lynch.
   
7. This game will have 3 week deadlines. At deadline, the player (or No Lynch) with the most votes will be lynched. In the case of a tie, the tie breaker will be the player who has the first active vote on them. Should there be no active votes at deadline no one will be lynched.
   
8. Once a player is lynched the game enters twilight until I post a death scene; all players including the one who was lynched may continue to post during twilight.
   
9. Once you are killed (either via lynch or night kill) you may no longer post. This means that you do not even get a “Bah” post. The dead in this game are silent.

Miscellaneous/Mechanics:

1. Green
   text is reserved for the Mod. No invisible/small text is allowed.
   
2. If you have an issue/problem with the game, please PM the Mod privately. Do not post issues/complaints in the game thread.
   
3. The Mod may make mistakes - please point out any mistakes gently. Mistakes will be corrected where possible, but sometimes mistakes are made that cannot be reversed. These will stand as final to be commiserated over after the game.
   
4. Please bold all requests to the Mod so that they don’t get missed.
   
   
5. Prods of missing players will be issued upon request or after 3 days of no activity. A prodded player has 48 hours to respond or risks replacement. A player who has been prodded 3 times is subject to replacement without further notice.
   
6. Rules violations will be dealt with according to their severity, up to and including a Modkill.
   
7. If you anticipate being unavailable for more than a 48-hour period please post a notice to that effect in the thread.
   Treat this game as a commitment. Be considerate – don’t leave us hanging.

The Golden Rule:

Please remember that this is a game and your main objective is to have fun! Be considerate of each other, don’t get personal, and enjoy the game.

The setup for this game is Bird 7P which includes 2 mafia goons, 1 doctor, 1 macho cop and 3 townies.

Mafia Goon:

You are a member of the Mafia along with your partner, <name>. The village let the Troll kill Frankie the Snake and you're out to get revenge by eliminating them until you outnumber the populace.

• During the NIGHT cycle ONLY, you may talk with your fellow Mafia (via PM) and choose another player in the town to kill that night.
  
• You may communicate privately with your fellow Mafia up until the game thread is opened or for 24 hours after the roles are sent out (whichever happens later.) Once both of these events occur, all outside communication must cease until the night cycle.
  
• You win when the number of Mafia equals or exceeds the number of remaining Town players, whether you survive to the end or not.

Townie:

You are a normal villager, trying to make a living and survive this insanity.

• You have no abilities at Night other than getting a good night's rest.
  
• At no time may you privately communicate with any other player.
  
• You win when all the Mafia players are gone, whether you survive to the end or not.

Doctor:

You are the local physician, and can protect people from harm.

• Each NIGHT, you may send the moderator a PM with your choice of player that you want to protect.
  
• If someone attempts to kill that player during the Night, they will be spared unless they are the MACHO COP in which case your protection will fail.
  
• You may not protect yourself.
  
• At no time may you privately communicate with any other player.
  
• You win when all the Mafia players are gone, whether you survive to the end or not.

Macho Cop:

You are the local law enforcement, and can tell the good guys from the bad but you're too macho to take help from anyone.

• Each NIGHT, you may send the moderator a PM with your choice of player that you want to investigate.
  
• The Moderator will inform you as to that person’s guilt or innocence.
  
• At no time may you privately communicate with any other player.
  
• If the doctor chooses to protect you during the night it will not stop the mafia from killing you should they also target you. You’re too macho to take any help from doctors.
  
• You win when all the Mafia players are gone, whether you survive to the end or not.

You hang around at the mine entrance and spend the day arguing about who Frankie’s associates must have been. Accusations fly and tempers flare until finally AndyTony throws his hands up in exasperation, turns his back on the rest of you and marches off into the mine of his own volition. The rest of you watch him go and then listen with morbid fascination. This time the sounds of agony that drift up to you are mercifully short lived but no less blood-curdling for all their brevity.

It isn't long after the sounds have died down before Zorblag appears again from the gloom. This time, as the Troll deposits the spent body in front of you, he says, “That no was a criminal. Him had secrets to hide but none that relate to what concerns you now. Come back tomorrow with another and Troll will examine them. For now it be time for Troll to sleep. Troll wishes all sweet dreams!”

You don’t find the Troll’s words at all reassuring and it is with great trepidation that everyone returns to their homes to pass the night in their various ways before seeing what the next morning brings.

AndyTony, a townie, is lynched day one.

It is now night one. All night actions are due by 8:00 PM EDT/5:00 PM PDT on Tuesday, March 31st. As King was being prodded when the day ended he will be replaced before the night ends if he hasn't PM'd me by the deadline. The next day will not start until a replacement has been found if this comes up to avoid any metaing of night actions based on activity/inactivity. I will keep you posted in the thread as to the status of the situation.

: King has picked up his prod and will not be replaced. The deadline for night actions is still 8:00 PM EDT/5:00 PM PDT tomorrow, March 31st.

Most of you wake up the next morning and meet in the village square to prepare for the journey back to the old mine. Slicey, however, doesn’t join you and it soon becomes apparent why. You find his finely sculpted body lying face down just a ways down the path to the mine. It seems that someone used a garrote to strangle him as there’s an ugly purple scar around his thick, muscled neck.

You always assumed that his well groomed, luxurious mustache, blue uniforms, handcuffs, perpetual Village People soundtrack and love of surveillance cameras were an indication that he had been carving out a hideously clichéd niche in the village’s gay porn industry but as you look at the badge you find in his pocket you’re forced to acknowledge that he must actually have been a cop. It seems that Zorblag was right; the mafia isn’t going to take what’s happened to Frankie lightly and unless you find them you can count on a short, paranoid rest of your life.

As a group you make your way to the mine, eyeing these people you’ve thought were your friends for years with growing suspicion. You set up camp just inside the entrance and begin the next round of accusations.

Slicey, Macho Cop, is killed night one.

The debate about who to send to the Troll doesn’t take long. In short order three fingers are pointed towards charter and the Troll again appears from the depths to drag him away. As you watch Zorblag drag him, protesting into the darkness doubt starts to enter your mind. Shortly sounds start to drift out of the passage the monster and his victim disappeared down. You stand there, paralyzed by your curiosity.

Suddenly an explosion behind you breaks your trance. Things grow suddenly dark as you spin around to see what happened; it seems that someone has collapsed the entrance to the mine. Voices call out in desperation as you try to figure out what has happened, but it seems that only two voices are involved. You hear nothing from King or zwetschenwasser. Reaching out you try to make physical contact with someone else, anything to confirm that you aren’t trapped here alone. As you find the arm of your companion you turn around and see a pair of yellow eyes glowing in the dark and realize that charter’s screams stopped sometime during the commotion.

The voice that drifts from the direction of the malevolent orbs that shine in the darkness is clearly that of the Troll. “It seems that charter no was one of Frankie’s associates. Troll wonders if Troll ever mentioned that Troll takes contracts from the mob in addition to Troll’s other services. Troll probably no did. Ah well, you know now. And now it be time to make your peace with this life; it will be gone shortly. Troll will give you the time you need to do this. Consider it Troll’s last and only gift to you.”

*******

Outside the cave King and zwetschenwasser nod at each other and start to walk away with no ceremony. It’s time to leave this village. Their vengeance has been accomplished, this community is spent and they know they will have a new assignment waiting for them in their next destination.

charter, a townie, is lynched day two.

King and zwetschenwasser, mafia goons, win.

As far as night actions went, clearly the mafia killed Slicey, it turns out that flarp22 also protected Slicey and as he said, Slicey investigated charter.
