Dusk settles in over Megalopolis as you prepare for patrol. It’s an exhilarating feeling, being a protector of the city. The streets are dangerous here, especially at night, and you are one of the few with the ability to do something about it - to protect the weak, the innocent, from those who would prey upon them. Through hard work and training, or maybe just random chance, you’ve been gifted with extraordinary abilities – and the responsibility to use them for the greater good of humanity.
Still, with this joy comes burden. Donning a modest mask you allow yourself a small sigh of self pity. The price of glory is isolation – from your loved ones lest your enemies use them against you, even from those you protect who may fear or be jealous of you. Your only real consolation is to confide in others like you, brothers- and sisters-in-arms. It is they who offer you support and come to your aid when danger is greater than you alone can face.
You slip out of your abode unseen and make your way across the city through alleys and shadows, keeping an ever-watchful eye out for villains doing the same. It seems now more than ever the bonds of hero-dom are being pushed to their limits, as friends seem to fall as often as enemies and comrades are found face-down in gutters. As you emerge from the alley connecting Megalopolis Bank to Main Street Square, you see that tonight will be no exception – a grim but all-too-familiar scene lies across the street in front of you. After a careful check of the area, you approach the body and a nauseating wave of recognition rushes over you. The pool of blood – turned murky black by the sickly yellow light of the streetlamps – matches the cape you recognize as the trademark crimson of Stupendous Man.
You silently vow this crime will not go unavenged. You grit your teeth and set out into the night.

Game Rules:
Standard rule against PM quoting applies, but also includes in the picture provided in your PM.
Whenever you PM me with an action, please indicate the game name and the day or night number in your subject line. This will be immensely helpful to me for keeping the game organized and mistake-free, so it's less of a "rule" and more of a "do this if you want a better game" agreement. If you are only asking a question or making a comment, using this format is not as necessary but is still helpful.
As is the general forum policy, do not propose a mass crypto-claim or any claims intended to function like crypto-claiming. But don't live in fear over whether a soft claim proposal is too close to cryptoing; if it is, I will tell you. If I don't say cut it out, then you're fine. No one will be modkilled over this without warning.
If you have a night choice to make, it is due by the posted deadline. If I don’t receive your choice, nothing will happen. If you wish to not use a night action, please tell me so; don’t just let the deadline expire. I like nights to be as short as possible.
Lynching will require a simple majority of votes. Once a lynch threshold has been reached nothing can undo it. You may continue to post until night.
You may Vote: No Lynch
If a deadline is reached with no majority, the day will end without a lynch. Deadlines will be set at moderator discretion.
Once your death scene has been posted, you’re dead. Stop typing. A simple “Bah” post containing no relevant information is acceptable.
Golden Rules (i.e., the things that apply to every game of mafia.)
Do not discuss this game outside the thread with anyone. Not your friends, not your mother, not another forum member who isn’t playing, not a dead player, not a living player while you’re dead. No one. The only exceptions are me and whatever is instructed in your role PM. This applies to any game in progress; don’t talk about other running games in this one, even if you aren’t playing in that one.
Do not quote any PMs from me, nor paraphrase too closely, lest I smite you.
Do not edit or delete your posts, lest I smite you.
Obey the Forum Rules. This especially includes flaming. Play nice, kids. The only exception being you may double post if necessary, but please make an effort to respond to things in one post. Use the multiquote button or copy/paste.
Do not lurk, lest I smite you. You must maintain a reasonable level of active participation in the game. We understand that life gets in the way of mafia. However, please respect the other players and I by keeping us informed. If you anticipate being unavailable for more than a 72-hour period, please post a notice to that effect in the thread or PM the mod. If you feel unable to continue to play the game at the commitment level expected, request to be replaced. Do not simply vanish, unless under life-threatening peril. If at any point I suspect you are replacing as a way to avoid being lynched, you will be modkilled.
Make your votes in bold. If you do not bold your vote, it may not be counted. Please be attentive and unvote (in bold), if necessary, before casting a new vote. If you do not unvote first, your new vote may not be counted.
Ask the moderator, me, if you are unsure about anything. If you post a request of the moderator in the thread, please bold it.
Considering the upcoming holidays, I will not be prodding or replacing players who are absent. Still please inform me if you expect to be away for more than a few days, but if players aren't around much during the first couple weeks we'll just deal with it. Once the new year starts, however, I will expect participation to kick into normal gear. If the 4th or 5th of January rolls around and we still have absent players, I'll start prodding and replacing.

I swear to god, when I get to mod a game I'm going to make sure you join it and get screwed somehow. -_-

Um... how about no. I don't really see how this could help the town. And don't give me that bs about limiting false claims, because in this game it won't really do much.
Um... how about no. I don't really see how this could help the town. And don't give me that bs about limiting false claims, because in this game it won't really do much.
No I am against all soft-claims in general. Go look I have a record of it.
Also my anti-false claim comment was towards the fact with multiple universes, something like a gender and universe would do pretty much nothing to limit softclaims. Therefore there is nothing for the town to gain from softclaiming.
i dunno it won't help but it can't really hurt either I mean what info can you really get from universe, unless its KC lol there all uber. but there isn't really a way to limit false claims much by universe or by gender, this fence hurts my but I think I jump down on the side of yes cause it really cant hurt much.
The argument is the same as it always is. A softclaim is highly unlikely to hurt anyone, but has at least some chance of being beneficial, so, you might as well.
Um... how about no. I don't really see how this could help the town. And don't give me that bs about limiting false claims, because in this game it won't really do much.
To Quote DYH: It can't hurt us and it can help us in the small case that theres a partial break in the game.
So Expected value is positive. Why are you against this again?

I do think that post was off - when I'm scum, I rarely have a falseclaim prepared until when I think I'm going to be targeted. Although he could be serious and think it wouldn't limit falseclaims, it was worded really weirdly. Not going to place a vote yet, because I want to see his response though.

I was implying that he knows the idea will be useless because he was GIVEN a false-claim.
@loran: Really I just don't like soft claims and find that they either do nothing or are anti-town. Unless there is a good reason to do them, there isn't any reason to do them.
Cyan, if I already had a false claim wouldn't I just go along with it and false claim instead of objecting?
Not if you were A)worried about making a mistake and/or B)just trying to get townie points by objecting to some kind of mass-claim.
Like I said, it speaks to a scum mindset. Guardman saw 'soft-claim' and rejected it out of hand because he knows that a soft-claim won't do anything. This is exactly how his post reads. Why does he know this? Hard to say. Most likely, because he has a false-claim.
Asking out a girl is like trying to cast a first turn Necropotence. Sometimes the other player will have the Force of Will to say no. You shouldn't let that stop you from trying it.

please do not bring up ongoing games.... in that, i was wrong... and cyan what do you know about this mod does he have a history of giving false claims.
I am not necessarily against a soft claim, but I think it could do more damage in this game. Consider someone who is more or less the only superhero in their universe, or someone who comes from anything other than a traditional comic book universe?
it is my opinion i get the feeling that he is not scummish because randomly being against a soft claim is not really a scumtell, nor is being the target of cyans tunnel vision. The statement may have been a bit overstrong as usually a sentence starting with bull feels wierd if it ends all wishy washy, then again I shouldn't really talk bout grammar.

It may not be a scum tell, but it's generally regarded as not pro-town, as stated by several different people.

Errrr and? Care to explain why this is relevant? (Cyan, don't answer this)
*I'm going skiing tomorrow, so more later tomorrow night.*
ALSO, Arguments should be pro or against any sub-claim, not just the one i suggested. I think mine may be too restrictive if the scum can guess Zebi's rolename from his claim (That's one of the few negatives involved with subclaiming).

If you're ambivalent toward the early softclaim that's fine, but why point out that it would be as limiting to you as you say?
Note to self: Your mafia theories are usually wrong, so don't act on them.
What seems far-fetched, that scums are given false-claims? This isn't far fetched at all, it happens plenty.
Cyan, if I already had a false claim wouldn't I just go along with it and false claim instead of objecting?
