Story
The year is 3036. The world lies charred and beaten. The former superpowers fought each other over weak, inferior nations that were rich in natural resources. Fueled with greed, they locked the world in hundreds of nuclear battles that have devastated many nations.

With so much damage taken, widespread disarray and disillusionment spread amongst the people of America. Life had become unstable, as people began living under the fist of fear. Constant threats of attacks from other nations and terrorists was the norm. Laws no longer seemed to apply to anyone anymore, as the social morals that America was based on became obsolete. National security disappeared.

Eventually, American Democracy collapsed, when the government was overthrown by a large rebellion of anti-republican anarchists, who had murdered the government officials who had pushed the deviation of the nation. There was fear and paranoia everywhere. A normal, happy life turned into a distopian struggle for survival.

Anarchy has enveloped America.

Now, in any given city, at any given time, a people of 25, who do not share the same ideals, carry on in a dying city.

The Game:
There will be 25 players.

4- E-Feds (secret "mafia" composed of executive branchies who are fighting to place AmeRiCA under a new totalitarian sytem and lack of say in the government for the people.)

2- Freelance Police - (don't know each other, can investigate one person per night)

1- Serial Killer - (innocent civilian by day, heavily armed murderer by night who is unknown to all. He will turn up as innocent to cops who investigate him)

2- Neutral Protectors - ("doctors" who do not know each other and pick a person to protect each night)

5- Misled Youth of America - (the Anarchists who know each other and discuss their ideas at night)

Alive - (12):
wordcross
Damelon
Ameb
amb
Porro
Lucresia
Green Crayons
TANSTAAFL
Termital
crackerjack
Neo
Werebear

Dead - (12):

If no one else signs up by 10:00 pm tonight, I'm starting the mafia with whoever has already signed up. Please be sure that your e-mail address is viewable.

Degenerate · Daedalien Member

BigFella and ornamental cabbage, I need your e-mail addies.

ornamental cabbage · Icarian Member

theornamentalcabbage@hotmail.com

Neo · Daedalian Member

Nauplius · Crustacean Member

I'll play.

Degenerate · Daedalien Member

Alrighty, that's 25. E-mails will be sent out tonight. I still need BigFella to give me his e-mail address.

Degenerate · Daedalien Member

Should I wait for BigFella, or should I just drop him and send the roles out tonight?

Samadhi · +1

I would say keep him but send the roles anyway. If he doesn't respond within a couple of days, replace him.

Degenerate · Daedalien Member

Hmm, would you be interested in replacing him by any chance Samadhi?

Degenerate · Daedalien Member

Everybody's roles are sent except BigFella. I'll give him one more day, or else he's out.

Please confirm here. If you have a role other than civilian, please e-mail me your night choices.
