Rules:

(partially plagiarized)
0) This is a game. You are supposed to have fun. Notify the mod immediately if you feel this rule has been violated.

1) Do not discuss the game outside of the thread.

2) Do not discuss the game with dead players or players not in the game.

3) Once your death scene is posted, you’re dead. Stop posting.

4) Do not quote mod PMs. If you will be paraphrasing, I encourage you to run it by me first.

5) Do not edit posts. If you have something to add, add a new post. If you accidentally doublepost or mess up your tags, don’t panic- just PM me and I’ll fix it.

6) Do not post in invisible or micro text. (Or use anything annoyingly clever, such as HTML-tagged text. PM me if in doubt.)

7) There is no rule 7.

8) Votes and unvotes will only be counted if bolded. Unvotes must be made before revoting. If you forget, I will PM you to remind you. (Unless you persistently forget.)

9) Votecounts will reflect the contents of the thread, not necessarily the actual game state.

10) Lynches (or no-lynches) require a majority vote. After a majority vote is reached, the game is in twilight. In twilight, voting has no effect, but players (including any about to be lynched) may continue to post. Once the thread is locked, night begins.

11) Deadlines will be imposed at the mod’s discretion. The following procedure will be reached if a deadline is reached without a majority decision:
If half are not voting (or are voting for no-lynch), then day will end without a lynch. If not (ie: more than 50% are voting for players), then the player with the most votes will be lynched.
If there is a tie among the players with the most votes, I will have everyone still in the game player PM me a vote for one of the tied players.
If this still does not break the tie, I will choose who is lynched at random from among the tied players.

12) If you are, will be, or think there’s a chance you might be unable to participate for 72 hours, please notify the mod either by PM, by posting inthread, or by posting in the V/LA thread.

Failure to abide by the above may result in reprimand, replacement, or modkill. Please do not hesitate to PM a mod with any questions.

Certain roles may allow some of the above rules to be circumvented, as specifically indicated. (I don’t think I’m revealing too much by saying that a role exists which allows rule 1 to be broken.) If you feel a mistake has been made or you’re just not sure about something, feel free to PM.

[EmpTyger]

There’s been a slight snafu in the sign-ups, and I’m having a couple RL issues to deal with. Roles have *not* yet gone out. Thanks for the patience, sorry about the delay.

[EmpTyger]

bah I'm again terribly sorry about this delay, but things are finally settled. Roles *will* be sent out tonight.

[EmpTyger]

Roles are out! Please confirm by PM. For those who have confirmed, consider it Night 1.

[EmpTyger]

Introducing a mafia game that will explore the realms of the philosophical, the existential, the theatrical. The concepts of space, spirit, mind, and emotion will be dissected in careful analysis. Lives will be changed. Lies will be uncovered. Truth will speak. Faith will be tested. Certainties will be doubted. Questions will be answered. Answers will be questioned. Methodology will be transcended. The human condition will be unmasked in its most primitive glory. Words will fail. Time will pass. The future will be known. The past will be understood. The most fundamental elements of the universe will be laid bare for all to see. You will become a better human being.

And in the end there will be a lot of dead bodies.

Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Scum. 12 players in search of a majority.

All players have confirmed.

It is Night 1.

Nightchoices due at 5pm (central) on Tuesday 10/10.

[EmpTyger]

themanhimself

has changed his name to

Sherlock

[EmpTyger]

Sorry for yet another delay, but I am ill with a fever of 101. I'm lifting the N1 deadline, at least until I'm feeling better.

[EmpTyger]

Okay, let's try this again.

Nightchoices due at 6pm (central) on Friday 10/13.

[EmpTyger]

Act 1, Scene 1

The sight is dismal; and our affairs from England come too late: the ears are senseless that should give us hearing, to tell him his commandment is fulfilled, that

BabyJesus

and

Nightson

are dead.
“A dramatically powerful first line, indeed. But why should we care?”
Two men are dead, and you ask why care?
“Two who, though?”

Townspeople

.
“But *who* are they?”
Ah, I see the problem.
“Exactly. We have been waiting so long to begin, and now Act 1, but with no past nor prologue.”
Habeas corpus, as the Romans say.
“Shall we figure out them, and thereby us?”
More like the other way around, I would think. Seeing as how *we* talk, and they do not.
“Well, they’re dead. They obviously do not talk.”
Obvious, is it?
“Well, obviously they are dead.”
Agreed.
“So they obviously have been killed.”
Fallacy.
“I do not follow.”
Well, if they were always dead, and thus never alive, they would not have been killed!
“And you think this is what has happened?”
I do not presume to *think*. I am merely correcting your logic.
“Well, you’re right. This one is a

Ghost

.”
So he was always dead? And thus never alive?
“Oh, he was once a king. Hamlet’s father, in fact.”
Ah, ‘Hamlet’! I love that play!
“Um, *Hamlet*. Not ‘Hamlet’.”
Of course. My mistake.
“Our dear old schoolmate. The character, not the play.”
Did I metareference?
“You really shouldn’t do that. It makes it hard to follow.”
Play-within-a-play, and all that.
“Precisely.”
I mean, what if we were thought to be 2 actors rather than 2 characters?
“Unthinkable!”
Indeed. Hence the careful distinction between

Nightson

and

the Ghost

, and between

BabyJesus

and

the Understudy

.
“

The Understudy

? Who was he?”

BabyJesus

.
“No, I mean, what role did he play?”
What role do *we* play?
“I guess we do need to find that out first, don’t we?”

It is Day 1. 10 alive, 6 to lynch.

Do you think rich is scum?

Or do you mean discussing the bandwagon?

[rich_25]

What's to discuss?
Whether I'm scum or whether the scum are pushing this bandwagon on me. Anyway

unvote, vote Maz Medias

. Either the scum are pushing this or haven't voted on it yet and will look to nail me given the chance. Let's just hope it's the first of those for my sake.
