MURDER MYSTERY MAFIA SIGN-UPS

The Garnet Tide, an up-scale riverboat which travels the length of the Zangatti river. In this fine establishment men and women of all backgrounds mix freely, distracted by the gambling, music, dancing and other fine entertainments found aboard.

I like a bit of class and pomp, sure, but I've never been one for bright lights and music, though the card tables are right up my alley. I'm here because my boss needed an extra hand, and he's here because he's following a lead on some drug-running cartel who are supposedly aboard the boat. I can't say I don't appreciate the offer of a free ride on a riverboat of this calibre and it was awfully nice of the office to pay our way, but chances are our doughnut rations are going to be cut for the next month or two. And that's just one more reason to not want to be here.

Another is the screaming we just heard coming from the dining room. Looks like I won't be hitting the card table for a while yet. Damn duty and her impatient nature. The bitch has always had it out for me.

Welcome one and all to Murder Mystery Mafia~

This game will be a little different from normal Mafia for a few reasons. One is that your characters will be known before-hand. No, you will not be able to get a read on who is Mafia because of this. Another reason is that you will be asked to play a role - the role of the character you are given. Think of this as a pseudo murder mystery RP with Mafia elements - or vice versa if it makes you feel better.
You will also, at times, be told via PM to drop a certain clue or hint during the day (or night - there will be some playable night phases if we get that far) in your responses. It might be something as simple as finding a letter somewhere or letting something slip.

RULES:
Most typical rules of Mafia apply - that is,
- no quoting PMs (unless told to),
- no communication outside of the thread unless told you are allowed
- no cheating
- no posting when you're dead unless told to


There are also a few new rules:
- You MUST participate. Only sign up if you are sure you want to play and will be on more often than not. This is because this game is heavily interaction based and requires people to actually be here. I know people have to sleep, eat, go to school and what-not, but if you're going to lurk, you're going to be replaced. To combat this, everyone will have to post a certain amount of times a day and if that quota is missed, I'll be replacing you with someone else.
- You must make an effort to RP at least a bit. Please, I've taken a lot of time writing this thing up, sorting out the characters and not Role Playing a little at least would be a pity. :(



Information:
- Lynching will be done by majority votes
- Only roles (Mafia, Cartel, Town, Indy) will be revealed on death.
- You must submit a night action each night, if you have one.
- You will all receive flavour during the night. Sharing that will be up to you but no quoting.

Any questions, just ask.

EXTRAS/BACKUPS
- Ivoryjones

If anyone misses out on the initial sign-up, you might still have a chance to play... whether because people might get replaced or for certain one-shot roles. So, extras may apply.

One shot roles will be added every now and then - they're characters that pop in, leave a clue or information of some sort, or play a part in the case in some way, then leave.

About that, yes. As you can probably tell, this is going to be a bit of an experiment. ^.^

You'll have to wait~ ^.^
But I'm sure if you read the flavour text you'll catch a mention.
