RULES (New!)

- The primary purpose of all games is to have fun, and as mod, I will put the enjoyment of the group above a transient desire to lash out at someone. Completely unprompted sabotage or ragekills will result in Bad Things, at my sole discretion. All other rules are to be interpreted in light of this rule.

- THERE IS NO COMMUNICATION OFF THE FORUMS. THIS INCLUDES SCUM.

- For the enjoyment of all, please be active.

- Spectators and dead people: please refrain from discussions that may result in you even alluding to information that you have regarding the game.

- Post edits are limited to typo and formatting corrections only, and must include a system-generated timestamp and a note as to what you changed.

- All blatantly stupid or abusive acts, even if not covered explicitly above, are forbidden and may result neutering or modkill.

- If you did not receive a role PM, you are town. Your role is below, and you should know it, because you picked it.

===============

You're at the center of prophesies, precognitions, conspiracies, and the potential destruction of civilization, so everyone knows you by sight. You have a case file at now-defunct Company that's thicker than a textbook, so everyone knows your powers.

Some of the people you once called enemies are now your friends. More importantly, the prophesies and precognitions say that three of your friends decided that the end of the world wasn't such a bad idea after all. You need to find them and stop them.

ROLES:

Hiro Nakamura -- You can control time. Kinda. You may PM me during the day to skip the coming night, or you may PM me at night to skip the coming day. You may use this power only twice: one day skip and one night skip, or two night skips. (Doman)

Mohinder Suresh -- You're a doctor. You've recently become a scary, mutant, super-strong doctor, but you're still a doctor. Your nightly target will not die due to a night kill. (Simon)

Matt Parkman -- You're a psychic detective! You can tell who your nightly target targetted on that night. (Arix)

Niki Sanders -- You're dangerous. You do, however, have an appreciation for subtlety. You can nightkill a target, but not more than once every two days. (Celina)

Peter Petrelli -- If you correctly target the person who is targetting you at night, you gain that person's power. You may use it with the same limitations as the person who has the power, or you may attempt to absorb another power, but not both. If that power would have killed you, you survive. You may not target someone who you have targetted in the last two nights. You cannot absorb a mafioso's gun. (Noola)

Maya Herrera -- You don't want to hurt people. Sometimes you just do. You have a 75% chance of killing whoever lynches you or targets you at night, barring the Haitian. (Myrkr)

Nathan Petrelli -- It wasn't your job in the series, but it was your flight power that saved Heroes from the Exploding Man. You can choose to target someone at night. If you target the Hated Canadian Terrorist, the Hated Canadian Terrorist will die without killing everyone else. (Silferras)

The Haitian -- You can choose to target someone at night. If you do, your target both cannot use their powers and will not be affected by other people's powers. (Shiri)

The Nightmare Man -- You can choose two targets at night. If you do, you take over your first target's mind and, if the target was going to do something that night, it instead targets the second person. You die if your first target is protected. (Shaddus)

D.L. Hawkins -- You can pass through walls, which makes you an ideal lookout. Your power is Parkman's opposite: you can tell who targetted your nightly target. (Rhayni)

Angela Petrelli -- You have freaky, abstract, not-so-clear but always emotionally charged dreams. You can attempt to discern your nightly target's alignment. You will be right 50% of the time, guess innocent 25% of the time, and guess scum 25% of the time. (Daganev)

Elle Bishop -- You're dangerous, and you have zero appreciation for subtlety. You can daykill a target, but not more than once every three days. Syntax is Shock (Silvanus)

Adam Monroe -- Like Claire, you're immortal. Because of Claire, everyone knows how to kill an immortal and keep him dead. Fortunately for you, not everyone knows you who are. You have a 66% chance of evading a night death. Your success rate halves with every successful evasion. (Casilu)

Robert Bishop -- You're a horribly manipulative man. Your way with words is both convincing and soul crushing. Your vote counts for two. (Rika)

Claire Bennet -- Yes, you're immortal, but everyone knows that. If someone's going to kill you, they're going to chop you into pieces and store each piece in its own box. Perhaps more importantly, your blood can save lives, but you have to know in advance that your blood is going to be needed so that it can be drawn and shipped. You can prevent a daykill or lynch by PMing me before it happens, but not more often than once every three days. The use is expended regardless of success. (Furien)
==============

SETUP:

ALL ROLES ARE PUBLIC. You can choose whatever role you want. Simply post in this thread which role you want, and if you were the first to post for it, you get that role.

THERE WILL BE THREE SCUM. The scum will be randomly assigned based on numbers from random.org, and are not yet determined. In other words, any role could be scum. You will find out if you are town or scum from a PM at the start of the game.

THE HATED CANADIAN TERRORIST IS BACK. The Jester that puts all other Jesters to shame. You win (and make everyone else lose) by getting daykilled. You kill your nightkiller, although this is not a win for you. This role will be randomly assigned based on numbers from random.org, and is not yet determined. If Nathan Petrelli would be assigned to this role, there will be no Jester. If you are assigned to this role, you will lose all of your chosen powers (to give everyone else a fighting chance to find you) and be given a posting restriction that forces you to announce when you are two votes away from lynching, in bold, "I am the Hated Canadian Terrorist. You mutants are abominations before Allah!" You may choose not to post anything, but if you are two votes from lynching, that must be your first post, or you lose and are stripped of your power. Of course, there's nothing stopping anyone else from claiming Jester.

This is gonna be fun

I just realized that my character is completely hot and sexy.

Woohoo!

Stop posting.

stop posting

Who said casual conversation was against the rules?

Um.. what? This -is- mafia, right?

Yes, but this is mafia run by the guy who doesn't believe in the iron fist. Don't discuss strategy at night, but feel free to heckle, grandstand, joke, and have fun.

Oh, okies! I totally ninja'd you Shiri!

Congratulations, you're better than me at being wrong.

"Hey!" "Listen!"


Oh Shiri, no one is more wrong than you.

No, you're better. I was wrong first, and you were silly enough to be wrong after me.

JARRING GRAMMAR ERRORS DETECTED.

Thanks!

A little note on timings and such:

This is Lusternia, and we love our forums. We're here lots. That being the case, I'm working on the assumption that you can find 3-5 minutes during a night period somewhere in the span of eighteen hours to drop me a PM, and I reserve the right to end night without warning if eighteen hours have passed. Because we're here lots, a faster-paced game is more entertaining for all involved. If you need more time, let me know. Like, I know that Arix isn't around for most of Sunday, and that's cool, and adjustments will be made.

My job requires me to respond to things in the news that cause people to freak out. We have employees on strike that're panic-stricken about their health coverage that is about to switch over to the more-expensive COBRA coverage at the beginning of October. We also have employees and retirees who do not appreciate the recent market activity, and getting these people into their 401(k)s is a relatively inefficient and labor-intensive process. As such, I'm probably going to be a less active mod than last time. No vote counts on every page! If you could cover for each other from 11-9 US Central (it is now midnight CDT), that'd be way awesome.

Too bad, I'm going to try to give a vote count on every page to replace your lacking vote counts!

PS: My character is still hot.

There really aren't unattractive characters. Claire and Niki are both gorgeous too.

Quick nights plz!
