GhostofNobodyInParticular 2,493 Posted June 25, 2017 (edited) Scenario: During the height of the Clone Wars, the government of the planet Nowhere Special, being oppressive and power-hungry, holds almost all its denizens in its thrall. However, there is a small group of traitorous citizens who call themselves ‘Those Heroes Actively Nay-saying All Terribly Oppressive Dynasties’, or T.H.A.N.A.T.O.D. They have created a manifesto declaring themselves to be members of the Republic, and have sworn to overthrow the current regime, it being intolerable. Hoping to gain notoriety by striking out at the government, they have begun to carry out attacks upon various strategic resources. With the hope that a strong movement will convince the Republic to send in ground troops, the rebels struck out against the governmental Palace. They launched a surprise raid, killing several government employees, among whom was the head Tax Collector, the ‘honorable’ Lord Wan M. Pounds, and leaving a notice on his cold and rather startled-looking corpse. The notice, carefully and painstakingly written to be as unrecognizable as possible (so it claimed within, but anybody who saw it could tell it was printed) proclaimed that Nowhere Special was officially free, and called all decent citizens to take up arms against the establishment. However, the only people ever to read the notice were the police who found the body, and it was unsurprisingly a futile call. Furthermore, the act of terror which killed countless innocence has turned the tide of popular opinion away from T.H.A.N.A.T.O.D., and the population of Nowhere Special has decided to take swift action, hoping to find and eliminate all traitors before the meddlesome Republic was arrived and upset the order of things. I shall commence to shamelessly copy-paste Truthiness for the below, just be sure to double-check it, as there are a couple of edits. THE RULES, BRIEFLY:No editing your posts.No talking Out Of Thread unless you are able to do so.Don't quote (or pretend to quote) Moderator PMs.Don't spectator-post or like.Don't post after hammers or daykills.Don't post after dying.Don't fake day actions. Don't vote for yourself (there's been too much of that, and it isn't popular)DON'T EDIT YOUR POSTS.DON'T TALK OUTSIDE OF THE THREAD!What's this game like?I'm looking for 9 players as the preferable minimum, but can easily scale up to 16 should the demand be that high (I don't think it will, but ya never know), or lower, should it be less so. Each "Day" will last 48 hours give or take, and each "Night" will last 24 (or until all night actions are in, whichever comes first). Each day you will need to find and vote to kill the scum. You can do this by typing "##vote PlayerName". You only get one vote, so if you vote again it changes your vote to another player. You can also "##vote no one" and skip your kill for the day if the majority agrees. After the day ends, or the "hammer" falls (a majority votes on a target) it becomes Night. While most citizens turn in for the night, the scum become active and cause mayhem. They are able to "##Kill" a player each night, so you'll have to find them quickly!What If I am not Playing?Then please don't post in this thread, or like posts in this thread. You can certainly read it, though.

GhostofNobodyInParticular 2,493 Posted June 26, 2017 Right. We are at the bare minimum, but as balancing revisions are still ongoing, and since I really like the version with 12 players, I shall continue to leave this open until we finalize the roles.
