Pregame Rules:
1.) Pregame is defined as the period of time up to the point where all roles are drafted and the thread is locked (before Day 1).
2.) During the Pregame, players will be randomly ordered and listed. In the provided order, each player may draft the name of the Riverworld Resident they wish to play by posting in the thread. This continues until all players have selected a role.
3.) Players may not draft their role until all previous players on the list has drafted theirs. Each player will have 12 hours to draft their Resident. If the player does not draft their Resident in the allotted time, the following player may “jump the queue” and choose their Resident. The player that got “jumped” can draft at any time.
4.) Once all players have drafted their Residents, I will send out alignment PMs. No player will be aware of their alignment prior to having drafted a Resident. At this point, the pregame will be over and the game with start with Day 1.
Randomized Order for drafting:
1.) Claus
2.) NabakovNabakov
3.) armlx
4.) Cyberbob
5.) Alabaska J
6.) Rishi
7.) shafted
8.) TheHermit

Game Rules:
1.) I am human, if you disagree or feel I have screwed something up, please PM me.
2.) Do Not Quote PMs. Paraphrasing is fine, if you are uncertain what is acceptable, please PM me. Violators will be modkilled at my discretion.
3.) Votes (and unvotes) must be in bold. Example:
Vote: curiouskarmadog.
4.) Day lasts until one of the following happens: a player has a majority of votes, no lynch has a majority of votes, or the deadline comes. Days have an automatic three week deadline. This is mostly not revocable (I might consider an extension to find a replacement). Please consider the deadline as a limit, not the target. Nights last will last about 72 hours.
5.) Majority = lynch. 50% or less = no lynch.
6.) Don’t use code or tiny text to hide posts, don’t talk outside of the thread about this game, don’t reference other ongoing games, don’t edit or delete posts, and don’t post after you are dead (not even a "bah" post). If you think you are about to do something that violates theses rules, PM me. Violators will be modkilled at my discretion.
7.) When the game starts I will be using
, I would prefer if you would use the normal text.
8.) You will be prodded if you haven’t posted in 72 hours. I am using mith’s 3 strikes and you are replaced rule. Please PM me if you plan on being gone a certain amount of time.
9.) My word is final.
Alignment Rules
1.) If you are mafia and submit a kill, you can not use your ability in the same night. Unless you have been motivated.
2.) The SK can use his ability AND submit a kill in the same night.
3.) If one Mafioso or Serial Killer and one town-aligned player are the last two players alive, the Mafioso/Serial Killer wins. If one Mafioso and Serial Killer are the last two players remaining, everyone dies and no one wins.
3.5) If the final two players are a mafioso (or SK) and a townie with a killing role, it would be a double loss (both would kill each other that night). If the final two players are a posioned mafioso (or SK) and a townie, it is a double loss (scum dies by posion and townie dies by scum).
4.) If investigated, the SK will result in an "innocent".
Town wins, when all threatening forces are eliminated.
Mafia wins, when no other alignment can win.
SK wins, when he is the last one standing.
Sample PMs
Townie
You are a townie. You have developed a name for yourself and the camp respects and looks up to you. You have developed relationships within the camp and have begun to feel like these people of Homestead are like a family. Though close to those of Homestead, your need to explore Riverworld and find answers to it’s mysteries are pulling you away. However, there are others that are threatening the freedom and lives of Homestead’s residents. You can not leave, until those forces are eliminated.
You win when all forces that oppose Homestead are vanquished.
Mafia
When you look at Riverworld, you see a yet to be developed vulnerable place that is ripe for the taking. But first you need to settle matters inside your own camp. There are several townies preaching ideas of democracy and equal say. This simply will not do and will ultimately hurt your plans for conquest. Once this group is taken care, the other weak minded fools in the camp will fall under your leadership. From there, you may begin your plans.
You are part of the Homestead Mafia, with X and Y. Each night one of your group may submit a kill (by PM). If a member submits a kill he may not use his ability (unless motivated).
You win when no other factions have a possibility of winning.
SK
You are a sick bastard. Riverworld is not the paradise you were promised and these ignorant self righteous fools are once again trying to put chains around your neck with rules, governments, and responsibilities. No one will ever control you again. You are free to do whatever your heart desires...and right now, your heart desires to kill.
You win no other factions have a possibility of winning.
annnnd, I am retired.
