Even though it was early autumn, in north Texas there was a chill in the air. In the town of Small Hill, it was unnaturally so; my first hint that I was no longer alone. I was watching my friends, like I always do; that is the reason I am still here, after all.
They were having a party that night, a farewell to summer. As I watched them all arrive, a feeling of dread came over me, and I tried in vain to warn them. I thought that Darren Harding, the last to show up, had seen me, but I suppose it was just wishful thinking.
At first, the party was going well, but conversation soon turned towards me and became more somber. It was nearly the fourth anniversary of my accident. A few people, including Darren, had stepped outside to smoke, and I followed; I still found it uncomfortable to be talked about as if I was not there. As we stood around outside, the wind picked up, and they were chilled to the bone. A horrible gurgling sound arose, coming from the the other side of the backyard fence, where it sloped down steeply towards Cottonwood Park. Darren left the small group of terrified teens to investigate; I just watched, of course.
As he neared the fence, Darren called out, and was answered with a keening wail; a terrible death-shriek that no living creature could have produced. He paused, peering into the darkness, while behind us the patio door slid open as the rest of the party came to see what the commotion was. Everyone present watched with mounting fear as the horror rose over the fence. A spectral shroud with shifting features; slightly glowing in the pale moonlight, and yet cloaked in shadow. The wraith keened again, and Darren collapsed into seizures. Most of his friends bravely (or perhaps idiotically) gathered around to help him, heedless of the wraith. They were too busy to see the strange looking man creep into the neighboring yard. He did... something that I was unable to make out in the darkness, and the wraith evaporated into nothing.
There was nothing that they could do for Darren, and the stranger had left as quickly as he had appeared. My friends called the authorities, who's preliminary determination was death of natural causes, and then stayed around until the early hours of the morning discussing how it had been anything but natural. Before dawn broke, they had resolved to find out whatever they could about Darren's death.
I wish that there was some way I could have helped my friends, but I can only watch. There are rules to everything, even death. Which is precisely what they were going to find out.
Rules (Swiped from Guardman, taken at point blank range from Ecophagy, pilfered from Loran, stolen from Some One, stolen from Stormblind, stolen from CropCircles, stolen from carrion pigeons, who stole them from loran16, who then stole them from SorryGuy, who retrieved them courteously from Xyre, who jacked them from Jobie, who stole them from Puzzle, but Puzzel stole them from Crippled_Fist, who stole them from Ljustus, who stole them from carrion pigeons, who copyrighted them from CropCircles, who first pirated them from Puzzle, who got them in a private message from Halo_Freak):
1. Bold your votes and unvotes please, this makes it easier for us. They should look like this: Vote MandersHex (since it makes vote counting easier for me).
2. You don't need to unvote before you vote again.
3. Any votes or unvotes not in bold will not be counted.
4. Do not communicate at night or day unless your role PM says otherwise.
5. Do not quote PM's or you will be modkilled. You can discuss the flavor and paraphrase it in your own words, but do not quote me.
6. You may vote No lynch, and a majority of these votes will end the day without a death.
7. Please do not edit or delete your posts no matter how stupid a mistake you made. This will get you modkilled. This is your only warning.
8. Once you’re dead, you’re dead, so stop posting please. A single ‘bah’ post is permissible.
9. Even after you are dead, please refrain from discussing the game or your role with anyone, even other players who have also been eliminated. If you have any questions about this rule, please ask.
10. If you anticipate being unavailable for more than a 72-hour period, please post a notice to that effect in the thread. Otherwise, you may be prodded or replaced.
11. If you have a night choice to make, it is due by the posted deadline. I will not wait for you – if you do not submit a choice to me, tough! No choice will be made.
12. Lynches will require a simple majority of votes. Once a player has reached the necessary majority, his pleas are useless and any attempts to unvote will go unheeded.
13. If you are requesting a mod prod or vote count, please bold your request so that we can see it more clearly.
14. In order to keep this game moving, everyone is expected to post at least once every two to three days and if you don't, you may be replaced or modkilled. WITHOUT WARNING, whatever your side.
15. In the event of a deadline, if no lynch is made, the day will end in No Lynch
16. The Town Win Condition is: You win when all the mafia are dead.
17. HAVE FUN. This is not optional. Not having fun may result in a mod-kill
18. Lastly and most importantly. Respect us and the rest of the players and I hope I do not have to modkill anyone.

Also I really hope we can /replace this guy because I don't want to read this crap all game.
Rather agreed. I've played in other forum games (over in Custom Card Creation, a while back). Or rather, spent weeks telling him that signups had already ended and he couldn't join. If I recall, he's South Korean. His English is terribad, so I dunno if it's even fair to him.
If it's not just how he posts and actually represents that he has a difficulty with reading comprehension, I'm then doubly concerned with having him in the game.
DOES JIGGERNUTS EVEN UNDERSTAND ENGLISH?
HOW DID HE FIND THE MAFIA FORUMS ANYWAY?

<SNIP>
Are you sure he's not actually a gimmick?
Kahedron: Gotta get through RVS somehow, right?
He sort of understands english. But I doubt it's enough to understand the nuance of a mafia game, especially with all the slang and jargon.
He may well be a gimmick. His first post was in The Flamingo Club, and he practically disappeared. His reference to Megiddo is what throws up the flags (Megiddo was one of the players in the Forum Game I mentioned earlier).
why is the elephant mad?! in korea we say that elephant is doong doong and bābo. it is most suspicious that mr. ricks is so haste. loxodon does not have haste unless it is abnormal!

A gimmick is when someone has a second account on MTGS. It's harmless, unless you get banned on your normal account.
Anyway, I'm hoping that our would be presidents intend to contribute to the game, at some point?
