The Lusternia Forums Times – 1945
Following the end of the Second World War against the Axis, the Allies have agreed to form a new international organisation to promote world peace, the United Nations. At time of writing, sixteen countries from across the world have agreed to join this organisation, but names have not been disclosed.

However, days after the formation of this organisation, intelligence agencies have sent reports to the United Nations Security Council that with the defeat of fascism across the world, new and intimidating ideologies threaten to expand and convert the entire world. In the report, it was also suggested that there is a possibility that some of the United Nations members may already be converted to these new threats, or indeed, perhaps even the ones spreading it.

Following the release of this information to the rest of the United Nations, the sixteen members agreed to go into armed combat against any nation who threatens the neutral and peaceful state the world is currently in.

NOTE: We are starting with DAY ONE. It is now DAWN.

Welcome to Cold War Mafia.

I have totally stolen this idea from Shamarah and Balizar, but I think it’s pretty neat, and will provide a few twists along the way. Basically, each day, a world issue will be presented to the United Nations. It is up to you, member nations, to vote on the issue. Decisions may be good, bad, or just plain silly. Just remember, everything that gets decided on will probably end up hurting... eh I mean affecting you.

Issue votes will be completely separate from the lynch votes, and if a majority is not reached for the issue before a majority is reached on the lynch, the current majority will be taken for the issue. If there are no majorities, a random decision will be made and bad things will probably happen. By probably, I mean definitely.

Existing Members of the United Nations (Alive):
1. Shaddus
4. Casilu
5. Saran
6. Furien
10. Silferras
12. Ryleth
16. Zetsu

Nations the UN don't like (Dead):
9. Silvanus
15. requiem
13. Doman
8. Diamondais
7. Myrkr
14. Shadow
11. Daganev
3. Arix
2. Shiri

Other, general rules I also totally stole:

Voting is required to be in the format Vote: Fain. Abbreviations are ok as long as they are comprehensible. Voting must be bolded to count.
Please unvote if you wish to change your vote.
Day lasts until one of the following happens: a player has a majority of votes, no lynch has a majority of votes, or a deadline comes.
Once a player or no lynch hits a majority, it is Twilight. No amount of unvoting will make any difference. You may continue to talk until I lock the thread.
I reserve the right to call a deadline at any time if a day is taking too long. At deadline, the player with most votes will be lynched. In case of a tie, no one will be lynched.
After the day ends and the lynching occurs, it is Night. At this point, if your role allows it, you may talk to people via PM. I will declare the deadline for night-choice submissions when I lock the thread. If you do not declare your night-choice, I will count that as ‘No Action’.
There is absolutely no reason Night should last more than a few real days. I will post a day on which night will end and all choices must be received by then or you will be considered to have abstained from making a choice.
Day will restart as soon after Night deadline as possible.
Do not quote anything relevant to the game from outside the thread. That includes PMs or parts of PMs from me, PMs from people you can talk to at night, or random observations third parties make elsewhere.
Do not talk about this game outside the game, unless your role permits. If your role permits, you may talk whenever.
Do NOT edit your posts. Ever. Period. Even to fix typos. Double post if you have to.
If you're not going to be available for more than 72 hours, let me know. If you're not going to be available for more than a week, I reserve the right to find a replacement.
When you are dead, don't post in the game. (A simple "Bah, go town" is ok.)
I reserve the right to modkill anyone who breaks these rules. They really aren't very hard.
I am always right, except when I'm not.
Don't be an idiot.
Rule #16 includes gamebreaking actions.

EDIT: Please note number 10.

I'll start sending out roles soon/now!

I want mine, hurrrrrry!! I stayed up late just for this. I couldn't go to bed without knowing my role.

Let the discussions begin!

(while I'm awake!)

Gotta wait for rika to start us up

And roles have been sent out. It is now day one.

Day One United Nations Report:
The newly formed United Nations must choose two nation to be part of its Security Council. Votes will take the form of NOMINATE X AND Y in bold. First two nation to reach 9 votes wins. A nation may choose to nominate themselves.

With 16 alive, it is 9 to lynch.

I don't think I'll see much action since I have to be gone in about half an hour, but I can hope!

So, we are having two votes? Vote X and Y?

Quick question, can we unvote if we change our mind about the security council? I don't want to go voting for someone to find out they scream scum. I mean, before it's actually decided

Yes, you can unvote for issues (as long as a majority has not been reached). Just make it clear what you are unvoting for. If it isn't made clear, it'll be assumed you are unvoting for the lynch.

@Shaddus: Yes, each of you have two issue votes today.

Im gonna NOMINATE SHIRI and ARIX

Good luck peoples

Security council? I think they're the ones that, IRL, can veto stuff in the UN. So, how would that translate? Double vote?

well then, to go with the more experienced players,

NOMINATE SHIRI AND DAGANEV

Ok...do we know what the security council does?

Random Vote: Diamondais
Random Security Council Nominate: Shiri, Silferras

I expect the council will be settled like the leader scenario from Balizar's weird fantasy game, with one or two people roleclaiming, the rest trying to pick holes in it, and eventually deciding on one after assloads of time. Hopefully this isn't quite as drawn out. Nominating myself since I know I'm safe and Silferras because my pocket calculator says so.

mass ninja'd, cool that I got nominations though

I don't think you can vote for yourself, Arix. Even if you can, that is really suspicious

Nominate Arix and Ryleth

Nominate: Shiri, Silferras because I whiffed bold

You -can- nominate yourself.

Also, who the hell carries around a pocket calculator?
