Life in the wild is brutal. Animals eat each other. Drought takes its toll. The icy grip of winter makes it difficult to find food. Humans hunt all sorts of animals for sport, and build up cities and roads and whatnot, paving over wetlands and turning wilderness into farmland. Some animals, of course, have it more difficult than others. You all, a ragtag bunch of animals on the brink of extinction due to the encroachment of those ugly two-legged beasts, have gathered to figure out how best to eliminate the human menace. But not long into the deliberations, you find that your dear friend Dodo, Vanilla Townie has already gone extinct! And even worse, there are no humans around, so it must have been one of you who did this. Something must be done... but how to find the guilty party...? Why, death by committee of course!
Dodo
You are a vanilla townie. You were hunted to extinction by humans. Brutally murdered by another non-human animal. You win when all members of the mafia are extinct.
Here are the rules of the game. Let me know if you have ANY questions:
(Adapted from Absolutionis who stole them from Mr.Stoofer)
[01] Votes must be in bold. If you do not bold your vote, it will not be counted.
[02] Please be attentive and unvote (in bold), if necessary, before casting a new vote. If you do not unvote first, your new vote will not be counted.
[03] Lynching will require a simple majority of votes. Once a player has reached the necessary majority, their pleas are useless and any attempts to unvote will be unheeded. Feel free to post in twilight, though.
[04] You may Vote: No Lynch – majority votes of this kind are necessary to end the day without a death.
[05] A deadline of three weeks will be set for each day. This should be enough time to come to a decision on who to lynch.
[06] If a deadline is reached with no majority, the day will end without a lynch.
[07] The game is not to be discussed outside the thread unless your role specifically states that you may do so – and then only at night.
[08] Once your death scene has been posted, you’re dead. Stop typing. Not even a “Bah!” post, please. Save it for after the game is over.
[09] No small or invisible text. Don’t edit/delete previously submitted posts either.
[10] Don’t quote any PMs from me. This includes posting the image in your PM. If you do, I will destroy you.
[11] If you have a night choice to make, it is due by the posted deadline. I will not wait for you – if you do not submit a choice to me, you will do nothing.
[12] If you anticipate being unavailable for more than a 48-hour period, please post a notice to that effect in the thread. Treat this game as a commitment. Be considerate – don’t leave us hanging.
[13] Unlike other mods I am fallible. Please point out any mistakes I make gently. In particular, if I post a vote count that does not accurately reflect your vote, it is your responsibility to correct me. If you don’t your vote may be treated as it appears in the vote count.
[14] If you have any questions at all, please PM me or post the question in the thread.
[15] Remember, it’s a game and it’s supposed to be fun. Be nice to your fellow players and your mod. I have zero tolerance for abusive posts.
ROLES
This is a very basic game of mafia. As such, the following roles (and ONLY the following roles) may be in this game:
TOWN: Townie Doctor – protects a player at night. That player cannot be killed by the mafia or a vigilante that night. Townie Cop – Investigates a player at night, and is told whether that player is town or mafia. Townie Roleblocker – Blocks a player at night, preventing them from using any abilities for that night. Townie 1-Shot Vigilante – Can choose someone to kill at night once during the game. Vanilla Townie – No abilities.
MAFIA: Mafia Godfather – Can perform the mafia night kill and talk to other mafia members at night. Investigations on the godfather will return a "town" result. Mafia Roleblocker – Can perform the mafia night kill and talk to other mafia members at night. If not performing the mafia night kill on a given night, can block a player , preventing them from using any abilities for that night. Mafia Goon – Can perform the mafia night kill and talk to other mafia members at night. No extra abilities.

Well as some of you know, I'm flooded in due to the aftermath of Hurricane Gustav. I normally don't have power so this is just a quick check in. Hopefully I'll be back up and running by this weekend. Sorry for my absense buy mother nature can be a witch.

We, the gregarious yet pugnacious endangered species, would like for you to come out and play with us. Without your random vote, the witch hunt we're about to embark upon just won't be nearly as fulfilling, especially after we lynch a townie Day 1. Please honor us with your presence.

Why do you think that we are going to lynch a townie day one? That seems like a scummy thing to say, and I'd vote for you, were I not already voting for you.

It was just a tongue in cheek statement. I hope we don't lynch a townie, but it's fairly likely given that there are probably three mafia and nine townies and the town has nothing to go on (given that it's the beginning of the game).
That aside, I don't really like menma's die roll in that it really tells us nothing about him/her. At least a vote determined without a die roll gives us something to chew on. Observe:
Dice Roller1 D12 rolled
3
All you've learned is that I can use the dice tags properly.
Eldros and kpaca don't seem to have internet. Its not like we need to wait for everyone to random vote to start the game.
Well, I meant among people who haven't posted at all. Additionally, Eldros is supposed to be back today (at least that's my understanding). kpaca's Gustav problems are understandable (obviously).
Well, concidering that we are still in the random phase, and already had three voters (I'm back to two vote yet), I don't consider your wagon that quick, if we can call that a wagon, in the random stage anyway.
My vote was serious. Not based on anything conclusive, but serious.
No, but I am up for soft-name claiming. There are vowels in my animals name. My animal's scientific name is in latin. But seriously, why would we want to do that?

Are you guys serious? 2 calls for claims already? We're barely out of the random votes...this is hugely suspicious.
HoS: Bilbroxain and ced
Oh yes, and can someone tell me how to copy words from an imcompleted post?
Well I'm back from my evacuation travels and I have power, so I'm readily available again. So far there is not to much of substance.
Some quick hits:
Yare: you seemed quick to try to jump on with the idea of "lets random vote cause we'll never get a scum" idea. Is this just noobishness or are you really trying to random vote someone out.
Ced: are you really serious about people softclaiming???
Andelijah: your random voting of Sandsoft which yo say is completley serious comes off as scummy to me.

Yeah I'm good but the state is pretty devastated in some areas. There are still flooded houses, half the state is without power, and trees are down everywhere, including roads. I drove through Baton Rouge (which if you don't know is the state capital and second largest city), and saw one functioning red light, so there is going to be work to do. This hurricane was basically the hurricane Katrina for everywhere but New Orleans.

If what I posted earlier was construed as suggesting that we just lynch someone randomly, no I do not advocate that at this time, nor did I earlier. My goal right now is just to get some information from some people, and I think we're doing fine for the moment in terms of information flow.
Are you guys serious? 2 calls for claims already? We're barely out of the random votes...this is hugely suspicious.
HoS: Bilbroxain and ced
Oh yes, and can someone tell me how to copy words from an imcompleted post?
Seriously? You thought I was serious? Find me a word in the English dictionary that does not have a vowel in it. Find me an animal whose scientific name is not in latin. If you do either of these things, I will bow down, worship you, create a thread for epic wins, and put the quote of you doing either of those in the first post. But, as for now, Unvote, Vote Jayfin for lack of a sense of humor.
well technically y is not a vowel so words like shy and cry would have a vowel sound and no vowel. The only english word I can think of is the mathmatical term nth, as in 9 to the nth root. Not really relevent, just saying.
@andelijah: It comes across as scummy to me that you are putting a vote on someone for no reason and considering it serious. So basicallly you are saying that for no reason you are voting for a random person, and you don't care if their town or not. For this vote: andelijah. I don't see how not caring if someone is town or not can be condusive to what we're trying to do.

Just a small request: any chance that those of you who don't have avatars could get one? Obviously I can't force you or anything, but I know I would personally find it helpful if I was able to identify you guys with a picture instead of having to read the name every time. I know it's a dumb little thing, but I thought I'd ask anyway. If you don't want to, no big deal.
