Rules
(stolen and edited)
:
  1. Please bold all votes and unvotes. The moderator is not responsible for any miscounts due to unbolded votes, hanging chads, or supreme court rulings.
  2. Executions will require a simple majority of votes. Once a simple majority has been reached, nothing can stop the execution. Players may vote: no lynch – majority votes of this kind are necessary to end the day without a death.
  3. Should the moderator deems it necessary, a deadline will be instituted. If no one has received a majority of votes by the deadline, the player with the most votes will be lynched. However, if no one has over half of a majority (1/4) of votes by the deadline, no lynch will occur. In the case of a tie, whomever was at the required number of votes first will be lynched.
  4. Do not post anything game related once you are dead. It freaks me out when dead bodies get off the floor and start talking.
  5. Quoting any PM from me is strictly prohibited. An attempt to use the wording of your PM to your advantage may result in instant death.
  6. Do not discuss the game with other players outside of the thread unless your role PM allows it, and only do that at night.
  7. Do not edit/delete any of your submitted posts. Once you’ve posted a mistake it will be there for all eternity.
  8. If you anticipate being gone for more than three days, please inform me and the other players. Side effects of unannounced absences may include nausea, diarrhea, and/or replacement.
  9. Deadlines for night choices are there for a reason. If you miss the deadline, you will perform no night action. Reasonable requests to extend the deadline will be granted.
  10. Mafia is a game. If the game isn’t fun, everyone loses.
Special Rules for this Game
:
Every morning, I will post the daily newspaper. Most of the time, one article will have been edited by the mafia and may contain misinformation. The other articles will contain correct information. Unfortunately for you, only the mafia will know which article has been edited. Fortunately, corrections will be posted the following day.

Because of the editing process, night choice deadlines will work as follows. Players will have approximately 3 days to send night choices (this may be extended to account for holidays and weekends). When all night choices have been received, the mod will write the morning paper and send it to the mafia for editing, and they will have 3 days to return the edited version to the moderator. If you expect this deadline system to be a problem, please inform the moderator.

Still waiting for jetty112 to confirm. I am seeking a replacement for him/her. In the meantime, you can send night choices if you haven't already.

The morning paper brings grim news:
Morning Daily Times - Your Daily Source for News in the Morning

Edition 1, Day 1


Front Page:

Murders Strike Morning Daily Times

By Yggdrasil

RangeroftheNorth
, a long time employee of the Morning Daily Times, was found dead outside the offices of the Morning Daily Times. Ranger’s body was found early in the morning by the paper boy, who was picking up the morning papers. Police say that Ranger was shot multiple times by a handgun. Unfortunately, the police have no leads on the identity of Ranger’s murderers. “We are working day and night to find the murderers,” wrote the police chief in a memo to the press, who was unavailable for comment due to vacation.

Ranger was a respected member of the MDT’s staff of writers. Writing under the pen-name of David Maziltoff, Ranger wrote the daily horoscope column. Being one with a grim sense of humor, he was often known for predicting the deaths of famous people, which made his horoscope the most controversial in America. In earlier interviews, he responded to the criticism by saying, “being able to predict death is the best way to avoid it.” Unfortunately, it appears he was wrong.

People:

Commodore Amazing

By N_lich

The Morning Daily Times’ internship program has made an impact on the lives and careers of many young, aspiring journalists. One such intern is
Commodore Amazing
. After graduating from the Southern University of California, Commodore joined the internship program at the MDT with only a little experience working on his school’s newspaper. Now, Commodore has made great strides, impressing many people along the way.

“Commodore is one of the best interns we’ve had in our program,” remarked his supervisor. “After just a few months here, I feel that he is capable of working at the level of some of our full time employees.” With the recent murders and turnover at the MDT, Commodore may just get that chance to move from his role as an intern to that of a full time staff member.

Local:

Employee of the Day - Stark

By Nom DePlume

Although he is just an intern,
Stark
is deserving of our daily award to the most outstanding members of the MDT team. “He’s a very loyal employee,” remarked the Sports editor, “he’s very dedicated to the company and deserves this award.” “The coffee pots in the break room are never empty,” commented co-worker Joe Jackson. For his dedication to the MDT, Stark will be honored by getting his name on the employee of the day plaque.

Gossip:

bethelmark steals candy from babies!

By Baby Jesus

Recent rumors regarding
bethelmark
and his alleged addiction to candy are taking their toll on his public image. Photos taken by an amateur photographer were released yesterday, which show bethelmark taking a lollipop from a local toddler in a local park. “I’m shocked that someone would accuse my son of something like this,” said bethelmark’s mother. “Whoever is making up these allegations is a fraud.” Currently, the advisory board at the MDT where bethelmark works is investigating these allegations. Until the investigation is over, the advisory board has decided to temporarily suspend bethelmark’s voting privileges.

Daily Horoscope:

By David Maziltoff

Foolster41:
death follows you today. Stay away from angry mobs with ropes.

Weather:

By Sonny Raincloud

Partly cloudy. Highs in the mid 70s.
It is now DAY 1. With 10 eligible voters, iit will take
6
votes to lynch.

Sorry, Nightfall, didn't see you there. FoS: Nightfall right back at you.

Seriously, though
FoS: PBuG
. There's no reason for N_Lich to say whether or not he targeted anyone yet. And knowing which one of the articles is a lie is probably good for us.

Hold on a second... N_lich, are you saying that I'm not a model employee? :wink: I don't think there was any reason for you to come out with that so soon, but I doubt it will hurt. It will be interesting to see how this whole game works itself out.

I won't be around much during the weekend.

Um, guys? I think N_Lich is very likely the switch, as I can't see anything that would involve a switch that would be beneficial to the scum...or am I missing something?

And since FalloutGirl has a question for me, I get to
vote FalloutGirl
. Except that bloojay already did that...so
unvote, vote bloojay
for stealing my thunder.

article. They may change as much or as little of that article as they want.
