[Rysith]

So, I've been lurking here for a while, and (somewhat inspired by Mephansteras's Paranormal Mafia), I've decided to try my hand at running and describing a game.

For those of you unfamiliar with it, Delta Green is a setting mixing modern conspiracy theories in with H.P. Lovecraft's Cthluhu, so expect a combination of area 51-esqe conspiracies mixed with mind-breaking Things That Man Was Not Meant To Know.

In the interest of maintaining paranoia, I was going to hide all non-standard town roles, IE roles that a normal townie wouldn't know about. Role descriptions may mention other roles, though. The Town will have a Cop, and if numbers permit a Doctor and a Reporter. Obviously, the other factions will have power roles as well.

As with most of the Mafias running now, PMs are allowed as long as you copy me on all messages and never quote things that I've sent. Speaking after death, either by posting or by sending PMs, is a Bad Thing and will result in Bad Things happening. The exception to this is a single message that will be found by your intended recipient(s) after your death. Once dead, PM it to me and I'll make sure it is delivered. Dead players will have their roles described, but not named in a pro/anti town manner. In most cases, it should be fairly clear, but in some it may not be.

Days will last for 48 hours, nights will last for 24. Days may end early if most people have voted and there is a long period of inactivity. Signups will continue for one week, with the game starting with Day One on June 6th.

Please vote in red, and unvote before changing your vote. It will make record-keeping much easier.

And now, our story.
Dateline: Innsmouth, a coastal village in New England

Brutal Murder leaves Village Shocked, Horrified
   Police have launched an investigation into the brutal slaying of Innsmouth resident Norma Smith, who was found dead in her house this morning. Despite her age, rumors are flying that this was not a natural death. Early reports from the coroner's office indicate that there was evidence of extensive surgery prior to her death, and several modifications to her skeletal structure, the purpose of which is currently unknown. A panel of concerned citizens has assembled to confront this strange happening and seek out those responsible for the atrocity. The killer must be found!

Anyone interested?

Aw man! I never expected a mafia by you Rysith, count me in!

Will this be a flip or no-flip game?

[inaluct]

Idea: flip whether the player was human or nonhuman. Have one town role that allows total roleflips on non humans. When that role dies, you only learn the whether the player was human or something else.

It'd be badass. The role could be a xenobiologist, or something.

I'd be in

I was going to do race-flips with a description of the role. So, distinguishing a regular townie and a cop would be easy, but distinguishing between a cop and an FBI agent would be a bit harder. Distinguishing townie/scum alignment, aside from race, would be left as an exercise to the paranoia of the players. The idea of a xenobiologist that could examine dead non-humans to determine their roles would be cool, but I'm a bit worried about over-roleing the pro-town people. If I can come up with a few more interesting roles for the scum, I'll definitely throw it in.

[Rysith]

Role PMs sent out, game starting! Day One will end in 48 hours, Monday around Noon. That was Noon my time, not board time. Day One will end at 3PM board time on Monday.

I'm excited about this Rysith. Innsmouth sounds like a town from one of H.P. Lovecrafts stories. Am I right about that one?
