Very seriously, short from killing off someone each “Night”, that is **ALL** I know about this game.

I take it Ped is Mod, and as such, I can take what he will say (In terms of game rules) as good infromation?

Yes, read the first two posts and post any questions for ped in green. Pedescribe is 100% reliable. We are all until the game begins, actually. Once the game is on, everyone is suspect, except Ped.

This game is using two kinds of “kill”, each with its own affect on the players. Read about the factions and win conditions on the first page.

Now, you wait, as I hand out the roles.

An addendum: These were deliberatly not precomposed, meaning if someone quotes their PM as Town, and it’s worded differently than yours, that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re lying.

It is currently **Night 0** , meaning that you all can talk strategy, but some (currently all) of you do not know which role you are.

One more thing–all roles will be assigned TOTALLY RANDOMLY, as usual.

Good Night and good luck, everyone. Once we find out out roles, this should prove to be an interesting game. 🙂

I do not have my role yet. And yet, I already feel like a marked man.

No, not for being a Noob in Mafia, but for the things I have done in a past game. Or two.

No point in saying much until we get our roles, is there?

I wouldn’t worry too much. It’s bad gameplay to judge someone in this game based on what they did in a last game, unless. Gameplay style maybe, but we shouldn’t take out vengeance or anything on anyone. Our roles\* are\* random, remember.

Before I got my role, I just wanted to make it clear, that I have read the player list.

I might be new to mafia, but I think a few of you guys can guess how I will work over here. Based on what you have seen me do in the past.

Perhaps, that MIGHT work. Perhaps.

If any of you have any questions about your roles, feel free to ask me by PM.

And GuyIncognitto, can you also turn your PMs on? Thanks.

And yes, I am sending them out in alphabetical order.

All PMs sent, except for Angel’s and GuyIncognitto’s. And Captain’s was in the form of an email because he had an email listed, but had not turned on his PMs.
