This is us telling you not to claim survey answers.
CryMeARiver needs to Unvote before Re-Voting.
dana, why exactly do you require Unvotes?
quadz08 needs to Unvote as well.

There has been a slight change in the RuleSet, just to clarify the game a bit:
(Strikethrough is /out, italic is /in.)
Votecount coming later on.Rules wrote:SIX: GAME SPECIFIC RULES
III)The Greek Pantheon is considered the "town".All town-aligned players are part of the Greek Pantheon, but not all members of the Greek Pantheon may be town-aligned.The "mafia" faction is compromised of a foreign Gods and/or Goddesses. All players are either Gods or Goddesses.

1. We're not saying one way or the other.gandalf5166 wrote: Is this rule confirmation that there is only one mafia faction? If not, would ALL the mafia factions be composed of foreign Gods/Goddesses? Here defining "mafia" as an anti-town faction with more than one member.
2. But, all "mafia" groups would consist of non-Greek Gods/Goddesses.-

The fervor of the discussion roared as assorted Gods and Goddesses heckled over the day's occurances. In a rare moment of silence, an unseen speaker's voice reaches your ears...
" "Messenger makes a lot of sense for Iris. As opposed to rainbow-hider...
Baby, can you confirm yourself via your special power?"
One shot super power, yes."-

-|Dark Days Begin|-
With no warning a universal darkness fell on the world, covering Mount Olympus in a dark haze. As darkness fell and the holy city began falling into this unnatural darkness you all look around and panic. Nightfall so soon? In a frenzy of activity the mob assembles and focuses on Baby Spice. As the council of dieties devolved into a desperate mob Baby Spice begs and pleads, crying for mercy.
As you press her head down onto the gold-plated pedestal and bring the axe to bear you second-guess whether the immortals of the world were actually immortal. The mob screamed for blood, and Baby Spice screamed as the axe was brought down on her. As the axe tastes its first entree of immortality, blood spurts from Baby Spice's decapitated body, splashing upon nearby bystanders. As you wipe your face clean with the back of your hand you see that the only colors left in the world are black and white. The dreariness of a world without color sinks in, and you wonder if life could ever be the same without it.
As you look at your hands you realize that her blood was the all that remains that contained color- dyed the colors of the rainbow.
BabySpice,Iris,GreekGoddessofRainbows(AlignedwiththeGreekPantheon),LynchedDayOne!
As you head back to your respective temples for the night you look up at the darkness, and see the sun blotted out by a Solar Eclipse.

The crack of lightning tears you from this scene as you are pulled from your dream, back into a world of fear and rage. You jolt up from your bed in fear, and realize your bedsheets are burning.The roof above your head is caved in- a hole the size of a boulder pours over-saturated sunlight into your room. Sitting at the foot of your bed is a large, flaming boulder, burning your bedsheets and anything it touches. Scalding hot to the touch, the boulder burns bright red and orange. You rush outside in a daze- how could things have gotten this bad this fast? You look up to the heavens and see fire falling from the sky- meteors, fireballs-
"FIRE!!!" someone screams. "It's destroying EVERYTHING!" You turn and see a group of your friends rushing to and fro with buckets of water. You form into groups and- dodging flaming projectiles- set out to put out these fires. From one house to the next you scurry, saving people trapped in their beds and lone deities fighting the unquenchable fire on their own. After a quick head-count you realize some of you are missing still- lost in the fire, perhaps?
You first visit the Temple ofSnow_Bunny, and find it completely engulfed in flames. You all grab a bucket and prepare to assault the raging inferno when someone points to a tree nearby. You all drop your buckets and race over to the tree, where you find Snow_Bunny. There were signs of a struggle everywhere. A trail of blood led from her bedroom- overturned in the quarrel- to the tree. Her blood covered the trunk of the tree and all the grass nearby. Her body was cut into ribbons- sliced and diced in a manic frenzy. "This is not befitting of a god," one of you mutters- she was a sexy goddess.
Snow_Bunny, Artemis, Greek Goddess of The Hunt and Nature, (Aligned with the Greek Pantheon), Slaughtered Night One!
Olympus still burns as you approach the Temple ofPlum. The foilage and grass still burned as you enter the temple, yet you find no blood anywhere. After a thorough search, even Plum's body is missing. It was only when one of you pulled back the curtain on her bed that you saw her- or what remained of Plum- naught but a pile of sand, and a single flower. A beautiful flower of Olympus- and The Underworld- has been plucked from our hearts.
Plum, Persephone, Greek Goddess of Springtime andQueen of The Underworld,(Aligned with the Greek Pantheon), Turned to Sand Night One!
As you prepare to bury the dead one of you points to the Temple ofdiddin. You then realize that diddin was missing- how could you have not noticed it before? His passion and fury were undeniable. As you ascend the stairs to his bedroom you find him lying in bed. Yet he too has been slain- and shamed.
diddin, Ares, Greek God of Slaughter and Bloodshed, (Aligned with the Greek Pantheon), Castrated Night One!
You bury the dead amidst the unholy fires.
And then it hits you.
Like a fireball in your bloodstream, you and the remaining deities feel a fervor and rage you have not felt in ages.

The fires seem to subside for a brief moment, and all the leaves on the trees detach themselves from their branches, and encirclequadz08. He is wrapped in a cocoon of multi-colored leaves, and the multi-colored light blinds you.
When the light dies down, the leaves are scattered around him, andquadz08shines with a new radiance.

Man, I'm really good at this whole remembering-to-do-things thing.
-->I forgot to send out the "I need a replacement" PM to the replacement list, but I did get an offer from someone who's been following the thread THAT closely. lol Waiting to hear back then we're good.
-->I'm willing to extend the deadline within reason. 2 days sound good to you all?

ConSpiracyhas replacedmothrax, effective now. (Much thanks and yadda-ya since I had failed to send out any form of notice.) Deadline will be moved back 48 hours, to Wednesday, May 18th, 2011, 9:00PM PST, again at gandalf5166's house. Deadline is still negotiable- within reason.
p.s. Also watched Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief the other day. 7/10. Not really impressed with the gods, sorry.-

p.s. SkypeMafia is a blast. Dead tired, but it was amazing.
Deadline is Thursday, May 19th, 2011, 9:00PM PST, at gandalf5166's house. Bring presents.Last edited by Charon on Mon May 16, 2011 9:58 am, edited 1 time in total.-

With fire falling from the heavens, many claims are brought forth- but none stand up to the damning case brought against AurorusVox. The group quickly agrees that AurorusVox must die, and soon the group finds another candidate for death. They drag ConSpiracy down to the gallows, and prepare for the dual execution. As they lift the rainbow-stained axe over AurorusVox's head, he lets out a scream, shaking the ground and splitting the axe from the shaft. He then withers away into his clothes, and a small cat is seen scurrying out of his robes. The cat growls menacingly, then swells in size until it stands as tall as the best of you. AurorusVox laughs as he pulls out a broadsword and rushes the nearest bystander. Narrowly avoiding death, the player ducks from the blow, and the broadsword cuts clean through a statue of Ares, sending marble chunks spraying into the crowd. ConSpiracy, meanwhile, is fitted into a noose.
AurorusVox leaps off of a nearby pillar and charges into the thick of the crowd. One of you, unafraid and unwavering, throws a spear at AurorusVox and pins him to the wall. Straight through his heart, you move closer and attempt to ensure his status as less-than-living. AurorusVox pulls the spear from his heart, and drops in on the ground. "We have nine lives, you know." he purrs, claws dripping with blood. He charges you again, one life short, and you repel his attack again.
But this time, someone has the fresh idea to behead the kitty. As the execution-axe flies through the air a rainbow appears behind it, almost as if it were guided.
AurorusVox' head is severed straight from his neck, and lands in the sand as his body collapses into a bloody heap.
AurorusVox, Bastet, Egyptian Goddess of Protection and Cats (Aligned with the Egyptian Pantheon), Lynched Day Two!
You quickly shovel AurorusVox' body into the burial sands, and clean up the surrounding blood.
Your attention then turns to ConSpiracy, whose time on the gallows comes to a close when the lever is pulled. Gagged and bound, he falls through the hole in the platform, kicking and squirming like a butterfly attempting to break free from its cocoon.
he submits to his untimely fate, and breathes his last so far from home...
ConSpiracy, Isis, Egyptian Goddess of Magic and Womanhood (Aligned with the Egyptian Pantheon), Dual-Lynched Day Two!
The sun sets on Olympus and the fires seem to be satisfied with the destuction around them.
It is now Night Two. Night Two will end Saturday, May 21st, at 3:00pm PST. Make sure your actions are in by then, else they are void.-

Waking up from a peaceful sleep, you leave your temple and enter Olympus proper. The weather is an unremarkable sunshine with a few whiffs of clouds in the sky- like the grey in an aging man's hair. Olypmus was getting older, and now only the eldest of the gods remembered the time before: The Titans, Kronus, the creation of the world... all so long ago. And the events of yesterday have surfaced one of the many other pantheons in the world vying for power.
As you all enjoy the sunshine and chirping birds you almost forget why you are here. Gathered in the plaza, a quick head-count revealsAxelrodto be missing. One of the larger men among your group, you all ascend the stairs to his temple and begin searching the place. As you apprach his bedroom you smell blood, rush in, and see him lying dead in his bed. "Well, at least he died doing what he loved the most," one of you remarked.
14. Axelrod, Zeus, Lord of Olympus and Greek God of Law and Order (Aligned with the Greek Pantheon), Castrated Night Two!
You bury him in a tomb outside his temple then descend to the plaza, where you reconvene. Already you miss his deep, booming voice and his fatherly prescence. And a hint of fear moves down your spine. There are still killers out there, and they have toppled the strongest man Olypmus has known for ages.
With 12 votes in play it takes 7 to lynch.
Deadline for Day Three is Saturday, June 4th, at 10pm PST.-

ecerint revealed a powerful gift from a mysterious source: a nice, big, shiny piece of death weighing in at a hundred thousand volts. There were a volley of claims back and forth: screams of death and destruction, laments for dead siblings and parents, and cries of retribution.I
Iecerint stood from his seat, hefted his might stick o' death into the air, and began screaming about some past life where he was killed with a thunderbolt by some chap named "Jack". With a loud roar he charged Dekes, and ran him through with the lightning bolt. Blue lightning coursed through Dekes and his body jolted and contorted due to the overload of electric signals. Iecerint let go of the bolt as it seemingly melted into Dekes' body, shuddering to see the man die in a strangely familiar sort of agony.
Dekes crumbed to the marble floor, skin and clothes burned away to reveal what used to be a proud son of Egypt. A bird's eye view couldn't save him from hot lightning.

As originally promised I'm willing to extend another day (max of 3 days) and I'm going to assume you're going to want it so I'll push deadline another day. That's it though.
Also, I (Andy) will be V/LA from 6/20 to 6/30 while traveling in Europe, so dana'll cover for me.
Prodding people if there are any who need it.
Let me know if I'm missing something...-

The ground suddenly shook beneath your feet, as large cracks appeared in the earth- veins of a living earth burning their way across the ground. As the sun begins to set behind the clouds at the far side of the horizon a violent explosion rocks Olympus. A scream is heard, and you seeShadow Dancerplunge into a gaping hole in the ground. Smoke plumes out, obscuring your view, and when it passes a few minutes later, the abyss is gone-
-as is Shadow Dancer.
Shadow Dancer has been removed from Olympus.-

As the sun fell behind Olympus you all gather ongandalf5166, who admitted to messing with a number of things that happened over the past couple days. "Oh yeah," gandalf said sheepishly, "I also kinda' caused the Trojan War." With cries of SCUMSCUMSCUM the Olympians chased gandalf through the arena. The mob finally caught up to the young immortal, and a number of you grabbed hold of his arms and prevented him from moving. As the executioner's sword was traded hands gandalf bowed her head and seemed to accept her fate.
With one fluid motion the executioner stabbed gandalf through the chest, and amidst the screams and tears of a dyingIstariimmortal you notice something in his hand. Fearing it to be a weapon, one of you severed his hand from his body. As the restrainers let go of his body you realized that he was indeed dead, and the item he clutched to his bosom was none other than that infamous golden apple.
