Reveal on death
Rolename, Alignment, Role.

2) Each player knows at least 1 character.

The town win condition is: Eliminate all threats to the internet. The mafia win condition is: The Mafia faction must equal or outnumber the remaining players. The serial killer win condition is: Be the last player alive. The USA win condition is: All players from the USA win if: (1) Stuxnet is alive; (2) all servers in Iran are infected with Stuxnet Malware or dead; and (3) the players in the USA outnumber the non-USA players.
Everyone knew something was wrong when Yankee and 0000001 were no longer present on the Network. High-class malicious actors had done... something. The Salvation Working Group, a collection of anonymous people in power who have come together to maintain the world's balance, organized to discuss the loss of these valuable members. There were no leads. No news reports. Nothing.
It wasn't until the next day that pieces of the puzzle formed: security analysts around the world noticed a spike of mysterious TCP traffic over ports 80, 443, 6000, and, unusually, 0. This spike began shortly before many utilities facilities around the world either exploded or ceased functioning. Within hours, public riots broke out in Brazil, China, Russia, Romania, Ukraine, and the USA.
Then came the report that a Chinese businessman who used the online nickname "0000001" was found dead, his body turned up in the ocean. There was still no word from Yankee.
Massive internet traffic, destruction of utitities, and murder. These acts couldn't have been committed without the actions of high-profile, nation-state sponsored criminals. These criminals are known as Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs). Small crime gangs have the power to create devastating tools and even commit crimes in person, but they're almost all interested in financial gain. They don't care which country wins; as long as they're millionaires. Never trust a millionaire.
Today, the secret Salvation Network of 25 (formerly 27) knows that there's at least one APT within the group. But who are they? And what are their motivations?
'Restore balance to the world' - a futile effort while malicious actors remain on the Salvation Network.They will have to restore balance among themselves before tackling the world.
And so begins this game of Mafia.

All this bold is annoying. Especially since it makes quick surfing for votes a pain. Plus I can see walls of text getting really annoying to look at really quickly.
1) Trying to fish for which user it might be, when the game implies that it might be negative to out that info
2) Didnt feel RVS-y enough for an RVS vote... But then that would imply that he was serious voting, which doesn't make sense either.
Victor,
Yes, everything is bold.
Xi,
Why vote Yankee to test instead of testing with an RVS vote? What are you testing?

Circuits are malfunction in my mechanical mind.
So much information I am search and yet I am not find.
Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?
Or rather who art thou, my homie-o?
I am feel as though I know, but I am not sure.
Zip-zap click, rinkadink whirrrrrrrrr.
This game is going to be rather hard to reading
Time to get my farm up before I start to feeding.
Brown, brown, I to speak only in burnt sienna
Were that I had not been born in Vienna
I wish I knew the plot, knowing if I should relate;
Were they the town or the scum that Arnold did terminate?
I am dissuaded to give you a vote to vote with since you explained nothing at all. I don't like our vote, so I am taking it away. If I didn't know your alignment, I would vote you.
