Sit right back and you'll hear a tale. The tale of a fateful trip... Wait no. Just a small luxury cruise for 12 guests.
When the trip begins, you all board the ship at sundown and enter the diner for your complimentary dinner. As you eat, you talk about money and your successes- and you all get to know each other. You talk about various other topics, eat dessert, head off to the auditorium to be entertained by dancers, and finally retreat to your suites for personal massages. After all is said and done, you all hit the hay... And for one unfortunate soul, the coffin.
The following morning, you emerge from your private suites to find one of the maids lying dead on the floor. After several minutes of discussion and panic, you decide that it is best to start throwing one guest overboard after dinner each day until people stop dying.
This is the Pick Your Poison setup which is:
- 3 Mafia Goons
- 0-1 Town Roleblocker
- 0-1 Cop
- 0-1 Doctor
- 7 Vanilla Townies
Mafia Goon wrote: Welcome to Open 259: Professor Moneybags Cruise Line Mafia,<player name>. You are a Mafia Goon. You have earned your fortune from murder, robbery, and sabotage. Naturally, through all your affiliations, you are in cahoots with ______ and ______. Each night, you meet in the janitorial closet, foundhere, to determine your next hit and who will make it.
Each night, one of you (and only one of you) may send me a PM with Open 259 and the night in the subject saying something like "kill Beefster".
Additionally, before the first day phase can start, between the three of you, you must decide which two power roles the town will receive. You will not get to choose who gets them.
Please confirm that you have received this message by replying in the quicktopic (janitorial closet). You will need to confirm again once I send out the other roles so that your identity will not be revealed.
The game thread ishere. It will open after you choose the roles and after enough of them confirm their roles.
You win when the mafia equals or outnumbers the town.
Vanilla Townie wrote: Welcome to Open 259: Professor Moneybags Cruise Line Mafia,<player name>. You are a Vanilla Townie... well... a highly successful businessman. You earned your fortune "honestly" by investing in the stock market, selling useless crap over the Internet, and evading your taxes.
You have no special powers aside from your voice and vote.

Cop wrote: Welcome to Open 259: Professor Moneybags Cruise Line Mafia,<player name>. You are the Cop... but since cops aren't paid very well, I'll call you a lawyer... You have earned your fortune by means of lying, cheating, and mudslinging. Despite that, you abhor murderers and seek to put them in their rightful place. Not to mention that you would like to enjoy your vacation in peace... Without worrying about being killed.
Each night, you can stay up all night to do a "quick" background check on another guest. This will tell you if they are a member of the mafia or not. Send me a PM with Open 259 and the night number in the subject saying something like "investigate Beefster".

Doctor wrote: Welcome to Open 259: Professor Moneybags Cruise Line Mafia,<player name>. You are the Doctor. You have earned your fortune writing prescriptions and telling people that they are fat. As such, you are qualified to administer care to those who would otherwise die, regardless of their body mass index.
Each night, you can enter another guest's room and prevent them from dying. Send me a PM with Open 259 and the night number in the subject saying something like "save Beefster".

Roleblocker wrote: Welcome to Open 259: Professor Moneybags Cruise Line Mafia,<player name>. You are the Roleblocker... Uhhh... since it sounds kinda generic, you're a Carpenter... You're only on the million-dollar cruise because you recently won the free cruise sweepstakes mentioned on the back of a ramen packet. You are thankful to have free meals on the ship, though it is unfortunate that you still can only barely feed your family of four. At any rate, you have skills that prevent other guests from exiting their suites.
Each night, you can roleblock another player by boarding off another guest's suite door. Send me a PM with Open 259 and the night number in the subject saying something like "block Beefster". This will block roles for all players, not just mafia members.
