mediumsnowman Posted January 12, 2018 (edited) DAY 1 In the dusty city of Brickton, Bricksylvania, a nervous crowd had gathered outside the town hall. They yelled annoying things, like "When are you going to let us in!" and "Let's get this trial over with!" Finally, the majestic judge Neil Justuss stepped out of the building. "Gentlemen and women of the jury. I have some bad news. I believe our trial has been... compromised, and even now members of the Ballagio crime family walk among you." *collective gasp* "I know, I know, it's terrible. The obvious course of action would be to simply dismiss all of you and select a new jury, but Chief McCain here has a better idea. He suggested to me we let you vote off one person each day, and the Chief and I will haul them away to jail for questionably legal interrogation in order to root out the members of the mafia and preserve the integrity of this court. We know they are among us, and we can't let this chance to crack down on organized crime slip away. Good luck."

Each player will be given a character to play, who will be aligned with either the TOWN or the MAFIA. To win the game, the TOWN must kill off all the MAFIA members, while the MAFIA needs to outnumber the TOWN and/or any other factions. Third-Party (neutral) characters and/or factions will have their own win conditions as outlined in their roles. 2. Each day you will be able to vote to lynch a player. Voting should be done in the following format; Vote: Character (Player). Similarly, unvoting is to be done in the format; Unvote: Character (Player). No other format will be accepted. A majority vote is required to lynch. You must submit a vote each day. 3. A game day will last approximately 72 hours. You may not vote in the first 24 hours. After the day has concluded, a night stage will commence, which will last a maximum of 48 hours. Night actions must be sent to the host in the first 24 hours of the night stage. 4. The alignment of lynched players, as well as those that died during the night, will be revealed at the beginning of the following day. 5. You may not quote or pretend to quote anything sent to or from you in PM with the game host, or in PM with any other players. This includes all the details of your character and role, as well as any night action results. Role claims and reporting of night action results are acceptable, but in your own words only. Do not attempt to use the structure of your role PM to your advantage. 6. Do not play the game outside the thread. Similarly, do not post out of character inside the thread; you must always play the role given to you. Game tactics and roles may only be discussed in the game thread or via PM with other players. Private discussion is done at your own risk and should be treated as part of the game. 7. If you are dead, you may not post in thread or discuss the game with any of the players. Any information you had becomes void, and may not be passed on. 8. You may not edit your posts, unless you are me. Your host often makes typos and will be compelled to correct them. 9. You must post in every day thread. 10. There probably aren't clues in the pictures or flavor text, but wild speculation is encouraged. It's fun. 11. If you encounter a problem or have a question, please contact the host via PM. 12. Violation of the above rules will result in a vote penalty of half the required majority against you on your first and second offense, and the death of your character on your third offense.

Trekkie99 Posted January 12, 2018 Should've known the Ballagio family would've gotten in there and muddied up the waters! And I was just thinking about how nice it was to meet some new friendly faces! And now...*looking left and right suspiciously*...feels like everyone is a suspect.

We are all suspects now; I trust the Honorably Judge Neil Justuss to make sure the Bellagio crime family pays for all the bad things they have done. Looks like we will have to work together to find the criminals amongst us and show them crime doesn't pay! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Khscarymovie4 Posted January 12, 2018 Oh no! We have been infiltrated. Any one want a cheer for this scary situation? Oh what am I worried about? We have the smartest people in the town here! Or at least I think we do? Your jobs seem complex so I think you guys are smart. But if your smart you might be smart enough to trick is into thinking your a normal doodle when your really a big bad stinky crook! Oh no I'm worried again!

Kintobor Posted January 12, 2018 My goodness gracious! Infiltrators amongst us? The horror! We must do everything we can to be rid of them at once!

Darnok Posted January 12, 2018 There is only one solution here: the scientific approach. We have to observe, make conclusions, and act accordingly. So far the only fact we can work with is this: there are criminals among us, so some of us are more than they appear to be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trekkie99 Posted January 12, 2018 Do we know what the Ballagio family specializes in? I remember way back someone telling me it was counterfeit ABS currency. (Stuff wasn't even ABS!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kwatchi Posted January 12, 2018 ((Sips coffee)) So I was, like, watching Brickflix to 3 am last night and there was this ancient movie on where some guy is, like, interrogated by the police. But the whole time he is, like, making up the story he is telling these dudes by looking at the crap on the wall and stuff. It was, like, pretty intense and I was like "whoa". I think was called "the regular suspects" or something. So, like, I think we should make sure there is no stuff on the wall to keep any criminals from making up lies by looking at stuff. That would be, like, smart. But whatevs. ((Sips coffee)) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I feel that would be a bit close to home after what the Bellagios are likely to put us through. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darnok Posted January 12, 2018 I would support a documentary. We could just as well use the waiting time to educate us on something. My field of research is chemical analysis, and there is this one series - only 27 episodes, so not going in-depth too much - describing the properties of silica compounds. Most interesting!
