The mysterious message arrived on your phone and flashed on the screen.
"Take the next flight to Paris. Opportunity of a lifetime. Not a hoax. Be there at 1800 hours local time. 15 others like you."
What the hell is this garbage? Some spam, promotional material? Probably advertising property or a new cruise line or something.
You move your thumb to the trash can icon, but pause.
The number.
There's no reply number.
Whatever. Probably some hacker bull***** or something. You start to press the delete button, when suddenly, the message changes before your very eyes.
"Don't touch that button. You are about to receive the greatest offer you could imagine."
Okay, now you're curious. How the hell did that message change? You scan your inbox, making sure you didn't just open another message without realizing it. Nope, nothing like that.
Intriguing.
You call up the airline company.
"Hello. I'd like to book the next flight to Paris."
-
You touch down in Paris, and another message lights up your phone.
"Meet at the Cafe des deux Moulins. Upstairs."
You go through customs uninhibited, grab your luggage, and call a cab. It's time to get to the bottom of this.
-
You enter the deserted cafe. Weird, isn't this place usually packed? You climb the staircase to the office space above the establishment and enter a room.
...
You count the people.
15. Just like the message said.
Everyone is chattering away, each apparently just as curious as you about the mysterious messages.
You hear a tapping noise and someone clear their throat. The chatter subsides
A man sitting in a high-backed office chair swivels around at a desk and turns to face all of you.
The man is a tad portly, with a blue pinstriped suit, a thin handlebar-styled moustache pointing slightly upwards, and a bowler hat that matched the suit.
He beams.
"I'm sure you're wondering why I've brought you all here."
Instantly, the questions begin. The man holds up his hands and the talk eventually fades again.
"Many of you have heard of the end of the world, I'm sure. Well, I have good news and bad news for you."
Pause.
"The bad news is, it's all true. Everyone is going to die."
The people in the room grew visibly angry and began to shout more questions. The man held his hands up again.
"-However, you have a chance to affect that. All of you are about to take a defining role in the history of humanity. I've selected 4 of you semi-randomly based on your, ah...talents...to serve me as my Horsemen. Famine, War, Pestilence, Death. 4 of you will gain the powers of the endtimes. The other 12...well, if you can weed out the ones I've chosen, congratulations. You save the earth for another 100 years until I decide to do this again. However, if you fail, the consequences will affect all of you and everyone you know (and even those you don't)."
One of the people stepped forward defiantly.
"And if we refuse?"
The man in the chair stood up, leaned on his elbows towards the speaker, and smiled again, his eyes flashing with a mischievous wickedness.
"You can't say no to me. I'm Apocalypse."

Iso presents:
Horsemen of the Apocalypse Mafia
-
Horsemen of the Apocalypse Mafia is a 16-player game with 12 town and 4 mafia. After the roles were created, they were semi-randomly assigned alignments. (Certain roles that were determined to be too powerful for a particular alignment were excluded from the randomization process.) The 4 members of the mafia - the Horsemen - have an additional Horseman ability that augments their own starting ability. It's fairly cut-and-dry, so...let's get to it.

KoolKoal: Feel free to take this with a grain of salt since self meta isn't particularly helpful, but I think I get scumread mostly for style over substance, but also for a certain lack of substance over style. It's not so much what I AM posting most of the time (though sometimes that can seem bad) but what I'm NOT posting. I've been told I come to non-obvious conclusions a lot, so when I post, quite a bit of the time there's jumps in logic that people can't follow and they think that's scummy. I get that accusation about a lot of questions I ask specifically. People call them "busy work" when the questions are legit etc.
As far as things to ignore, I can't think of anything. I would suggest you focus less on what I'm doing and more on how I'm doing it. That's probably more likely to be accurate. Like I've just said, what I do tends to come off a little weird, but if you look for how I do it, mindset comes into play and maybe you figure out something useful.

I should probably try to get 8 replacements in addition to the full roster for the game seeing as 4 people will replace out of my game on Day 1 like they inevitably always do.

I don't think it's because they're "Iso games", I'm seeing a lot of replacements in general.
That said /replace
