I will be using the flavour in this game to introduce you to the game of Go, one of my favourite hobbies. Known as Weiqi in China or Baduk in Korea it is believed to be the oldest game to have been continuously played. The goal of the game is to surround more of the board than your opponent with your stones, while having to balance not letting your pieces get surrounded and captured.

Feedback on rules/format at any point during the game via PM will be appreciated. Evolution of my rules/formatting has been inspired by Korina and Plotinus, and feedback from xofelf.

Day 1 | Game Begins
Go is a game played by two players, one with black stones and one with white. Black goes first. Each turn you place a stone on the intersection of a board. The typical board is 19x19 intersections, though historically there is evidence of 17x17 boards instead. There are also smaller boards at 9x9 and 13x13 which are often used when teaching beginners but also provide a shorter experience with different pressures to all players.
All players have confirmed.

Perhaps I’ll start off by voting someone random.
Vote: tenebrousluminary
since it’s going to be a pain to write that out everytime - I’d rather believe the mafia is one of these players.

My account name of “maozedong” was not accepted by the mods, so they told me to change the name of my account.

Ah, yeah I will have to do that at some point. I’m currently on my phone in bed but I will do that the next time I get to a computer (will probably be tomorrow evening after work).

Do a lot of you know each other? I suspect it may be difficult to navigate among all the different relationships that I am unfamiliar with here.

What are you implying / was your initial vote serious?

I've played with some of the people in this game, but that was like 1-2 years ago. I don't know if anyone still remembers me lol

I'm not joking! I think your slot is a scum power role who is required to be present or the game risks becoming mechanically unfair to the scum team.
