Greetings, my friends! Please, take a seat, and gather round. I have gathered you here today to tell you about my grand-daughter. You may or may not have heard of her, but her name is Hannah, also known as "Hannah the Brave" for her never-ending, mostly successful, search for treasure.

Now, I can see you all thinking "That's not very impressive, I've been a good treasure hunter myself!". This isn't all she has done though, mind you, recently she has been busy releasing the spirit of the Bori, waking them from their long slumber inside the unfriendly area that is known as the Ice Caves. Among these Bori, my dearest grand-daughter have been regarded as a true hero! She even befriended one of them during this quest...I think his name was Amir? Arimn? Armin? I'm not so sure, I have yet to meet this fine person, but what I do know is that this truly noble Neopian citizen saved the life of my dear Hannah. One day, I'll meet him and thank him.

The last I heard of Hannah, she was exploring the possibilities of searching treasure in space, and to my disbelief, she was actually successful! Not even in my wildest dreams would I have thought that it was possible to find man-made treasures outside of our own planet, but she proved me wrong.
When Hannah came back, she wrote me a letter, co-signed by Arwin, where she was about to explore some new caverns. She didn't mention where this cavern was located, so I am worried about her. I hope that she will return safely! Fortunately, she has tamed a Pawkeet from her earlier adventures, and promised that she'd be sending it to me at least once every day with a letter, containing the latest updates on her new quest.

So, will you please keep an old man company, while we wait for my only grand-daughter to send me updates? I'm sure that it'll be just as exciting for you as it will for me...hopefully even more.

The Interguild Mafia Game #2 is about to start! Please read and fully understand all of the rules below. Once you're sure you've got it, post below and I will send out what's known as a "role PM". This contains all the information you need to know about your "character" and it's abilities. It's best that you keep everything in it secret, for now. Once you have received and fully understand your role PM, please post again below to confirm (if you have any questions about the role specifically, send me a PM about it). As far as sending me PM's goes, do not hesitate to send me one, but as I have a limit of 50 or so PM's in my inbox at once, please wait until I have replied to one PM before sending another. Once everybody has posted that they have received and understand their role PM, then we can begin!

NOTE TO ANYBODY NOT INVOLVED IN THE GAME:
As you are not playing in this game, do NOT post in Interguild Mafia Forum (it is made public so that you can follow along with the action). Do not post about the game around the site (and especially don't post about any suspicions you may have) and do not PM people about the game who currently involved in it.


General Structure Of The Game

At the start of the game, the players are randomly assigned to be members of either the "Crate" or the "Protagonist" alliances, in the previous game known as "Town" and "Mafia". If you are a member of the Crate alliance, you win when all the Protagonists are eliminated. If you are a part of the Protagonist alliance, you win when the Protagonists comprises the majority of the remaining players. There are always significantly less members of the Protagonists than there are members of the town, but the Protagonists have the advantage of knowing who the other Protagonists are, and being allowed to talk to one another outside of the game's main threads. There may be players that are not part of the Crate or Protagonist alliance, and if you are one of them, your win conditions will be explained in the role PM I send you. Once all the roles have been assigned, the game then proceeds into a series of alternating day and night phrases, until somebody's win condition is met.

During the day, all the players are expected to post in the designated thread, where they will discuss the ongoings of the game, and argue about who is a protagonist and who isn't. Be sure to be very careful about the things you say. You wouldn't want to say something that makes the rest of the players suspicious of you. You will also not want to reveal your role, at least in the early going, since if the protagonists know what the crates roles are, then they have a much easier time figuring out which of them it would be most beneficial to kill.

All players get one vote (which they can change throughout the day phase, as their opinions changes as well), and they use that vote to vote for who they want to see eliminated from the game (aka: lynched). The Crate alliance is trying to lynch Protagonists, while the Protagonists are trying to mislead the Crates into lynching a member of the Crate alliance instead (though having nobody be lynched at all often works to the Protagonist's advantage). Once a majority of the remaining player's votes are for a single player (for example, if there are 8 people alive, then 5 of them would have to vote for the single player for them to be lynched), then that player is lynched and removed from the game. When a player is lynched, that player's role and alignment are revealed. Congratulations to the Crate alliance, if the person they lynched turned out to be a protagonist, but if they were in fact a member of the Crate alliance, then all is not lost -- vital information is gained by analyzing the events of the previous day, and perhaps you will be able to find a main character responsible for the mislynch. Once a player is lynched, the day ends and we move into the night phase. There will be a time limit placed on the day phase, and if a lynch is not reached by then, the day will end without a lynch.

Notes About the Day Phase:
- When you wish to vote for a player, at the bottom of your post, write VOTE: (player name). It is important that you bold your votes (use the appropriate bbCode) so that, when I go to do a vote count, I don't miss any.
- If you wish to change your vote from one player to another or to just remove your vote from the player you voted for, first write UNVOTE: (player name). Please bold all unvotes as well.
- As who has voted for who can get confusing, I will attempt to periodically keep you updated on the current vote counts. If you feel a vote count would be helpful, feel free to post in the thread that you would like one.
- Stay active. You will be expected to post a few times in every "day". If possible, I will replace people who I feel aren't active enough.
- Do not talk about the game outside of the thread, AT ALL. Don't talk about it in some other thread, don't talk about it in the chatbox, and most importantly of all, don't talk about it in private messages to one another. Only the Protagonists may talk about the game outside of the main thread, and even then, they must ONLY use the secret mafia board.
- If you have some question about the game, please send me (and only me) a private message about it. Note that I only have limited space in my inbox, so please only send me one PM at a time.
- DO NOT EDIT YOUR POSTS. Everything that is said is meant to be part of the public record. If you have something else to say or even if you just made a mistake in typing your previous post, then, just this once, double-posting is both allowed and preferred.
- DO NOT QUOTE MY PM's. Everything that I say to you in a PM is intended for your eyes only. Don't even pretend to quote me, using something that I didn't actually write.

Once the day ends, the night phase begins. Nobody may post in the main thread during the night. If you have a special action that you can perform, send me a PM stating whether or not you wish to use it. Whether or not you have an action to perform will be detailed in the role PM I send you. It is during the night phase that the Protagonists will choose one member of the Crate alliance to jump on and smash. If everything goes according to plan, there will be one less member of the Crate alliance alive once the next day phase starts. The role and alignment of the player who was killed will be revealed at the start of the next day. There is also a time limit on the night phase, so if you have an action to perform, make sure you send it in before the deadline.

Notes About the Night Phase:
- PM me any night actions you may have before the deadline. Any actions received after the deadline will be ignored. If you wish to abstain, send a PM saying so. If everybody sends in their actions right away, we can start the next day phase sooner.
- Do not post in the thread during the night phase. Unless you are a Protagonist and posting in the secret mafia board, you may not talk about the game at all during the night.
- If you arrive in the "morning" to find out that you have died, you may NOT post in the thread. If you have died, you are out of the game, but, even though you are dead, you will still win if the people you were aligned with end up winning the game. If you were a Protagonist, and you die, you may not post in the secret mafia board anymore, as well. I will arrange for a secret "graveyard" board, where people who have died can talk about the game without having to worry about giving anything away. If you have access to any secret forums, it is of the utmost importance that you DO NOT karma rate ANYTHING. Anything you rate will become visible to anyone in the "recent karma rates" panel.

Everybody in the game has a role or some sort of special ability. In this game, the roles and abilities are mostly based on characters and elements from the Hannah and the Pirate/Ice/Kreludor Caves series.
Inside the spoiler below is the giant list of roles from the sign-up thread. You don't have to read it all. It's purpose is to just give you an idea of the types of roles that you might be playing with and against.

Spoiler:


Anybody caught breaking any rules will receive punishments based on the severity of the rules broken. You can be "mod-killed" if I deem the infraction to be especially severe. I may even suspend you from the site if I feel you have completely spoiled the game for everybody else.

I changed a few typos here and there, and had to read them myself in order to change all "town" to "Crate alliance"...
I do hope I have your permission to copy your rules - it seemed easier than to just rewrite them.
