At the age of 38, Mr. Fademond Blue (often known as just "Fade") was quite a successful businessman. In his early years, he had been trained by his father in the fine art of trading, and by his early twenties, Fade had far surpassed him and was starting to build a corporate empire, amassing several firms underneath him as Blue Incorporated.
Though not widely recognized, he was generally seen as a local icon, and was considered one of the most eligible bachelors around. He lived on a large and well-kept estate near the city, but he occasionally took trips out to the countryside.
It was on one of those trips that tragedy struck. Mr. Blue had been staying the night in the Idlesworth Inn, a small hotel. In the morning, he was discovered dead in his room, with his safe cracked open and many valuables missing. The hotel's proprietor, who had apparently stumbled upon the scene, also lay dead in the hallway. Evidence and testimony from the hotel staff indicated that the perpetrators had to be among the people staying at the hotel. Unfortunately, a search of all the rooms turned up nothing.
A storm in the night had unexpectedly closed down all the roads. No one was leaving for the time being, and no one was coming, not even the police. With little other choice, the remaining fourteen guests attempted to sort out the crime on their own...
The Rules
All votes and unvotes must be in bold.
Once a player reaches majority, unvoting will not prevent the lynch.
There are no set deadlines, but I may impose them if it appears necessary.
No posting in the thread at night. If need be, I will lock the thread.
No communication outside the game unless your role allows it. Otherwise, no discussion of the game outside of this thread.
If you die, a "goodbye" post is fine, but do NOT include any extra information about the game in your post.
No editing or deleting posts.
Do not double post for spam or unnecessary edits/additions.
No quoting any PMs from the mod. Paraphrasing is acceptable.
If you will be gone, please inform me in advance.
Additional Blind Game Rule: For this game, there is to be no public discussion of players' real accounts. Do not make claims about your own identity or speculate about others' identities. Attempts to circumvent this may be punished. (Feel free to make your own assumptions in your head, though beware that assumptions can be dangerous.)

The fourteen men and women gathered in the lounge. Some were visibly distraught by Mr. Blue's death; others seemed to wear a mask of indifference. Most were silent, though a few carried on conversations in lowered tones.
Rain fell lightly on the windows. The darkened sky outside shared its gloom through the parted curtains. The air inside seemed to have developed a heavy thickness.
One of the men spoke up. "So what now?"
Silence.
A woman, apparently the chatty type, decided to make a suggestion. "I once read somewhere that when you have a room full of suspects, you can play a game to get the real criminal to confess. The game was called 'Mafia', or something like that." Several looked at her with skepticism, but she continued with her explanation.
At last, another man protested. "Won't this just mean more people dying? I say we wait until the police arrive."
"And meanwhile, we remain as sitting ducks for the murderers? That's just what you want, isn't it?"
"Err... no, I mean..." He began to sweat under the accusing glares of the others in the room. Finally conceding, he sank back down onto the sofa. There seemed little other choice.
Several jumped to their feet. The accusations quickly flew, back and forth. A few remained in their chairs, content to merely observe.
"Excuse me."
Startled at the voice, the guests turned to find its source. A young hotel maid had entered the room, bearing tea and coffee. She quietly rolled the cart to one of the tables and laid down three trays. Upon finishing, she softly bowed to the guests and exited with the cart, just as quietly as she had come in.
One of the men quickly grabbed a cup.
"So where were we?"
Chainsaw Kitten, who had been taking notes, read off his list:
Another knock at the door. This time, it was a hotel clerk, dressed neatly in his red uniform. He flashed a smile before proceeding with his announcement.
"The staff would like to remind all guests that rules are to be observed for their own safety. Thank you."
He smiled again, then abruptly turned about and marched down the hallway.
Ice_SerpenT reread the sign on the wall:
8. Do not double post for spam or unnecessary edits/additions.
*Appears in a cloud of flour (it is better on the lungs)*
*Spends many minutes getting the flour off his ninja suit* Vote:Johnsonville
*Replaces himself with a log when Johnsonville tries to revote him*
*Casually walks into the room*
*Waits for the shock at the lack of ninja gimmick to set in*
*Throws shuriken at unsuspecting and shocked crowd*
*Uses henge no jutsu to blend in with the crowd once again*
The room fell quiet, and the guests seemed frozen in place, with the only signs of life being the movement of eyes as suspicious glances were exchanged. Initially, people had been quick to point fingers, but now with the fingers pointed, the men and women were at a loss as to what should be done. All were reluctant to speak honestly - of course, some people had secrets to hide.
Perhaps they were waiting for another dead body?
The clock stirred again. Once, twice. An hour had passed since the game began, and they were still just as far from the truth.
I don't have much room to talk with my whole one post thus far, but the whole poofing in and out while saying absolutely nothing is getting a bit old. A bit annoying, but he's just role playing his ID. Isn't that what mafia started out as anyway?
Unvote
I agree. Someone do something scummy so we can lynch you. Please?:suckup:
Well, theres one player I can be pretty sure you're not, now.

Alright, for the sake of generating some conversation, I'll be the PMD...
@Stealth_Ninja: Why pick Johnsonville and not The Lollipop Kids to vote for? Both asked for someone to step up and be scummy. Was there something more in Jville's post than TLK's?
and Unvote while I look over my notes and ponder the suspicious so far.

So, Lone Star, now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb.
So much worthless content, so few votes to punish them.
Unvote, Vote: Ice_SerpenT
Apparently, thou dost not even have a vote. Either that or the vote count art faulty. It art irrelevant either way.
FoS: Unstable Marionette
When I need to look at the first post to see if someone art even in the game, I know I'm dealing with a lurker.
Unvote Vote Archaic Knight. If you looked at the very first vote count, youd note that Ice serpent doees have a vote. This game is obviously not that complex as to have such a role, and you could very easily have asked the mod to check the votecount. Instead you attempted to attack a player!
HOW DARE YE!
FOS Buttercup... I'm actually starting to think you may more likely be scum more than AK, simply by bandwagoning a player with dumbass reasonign.

If you have a role that can talk to other roles, you may begin doing so. Day 1 will start on Tuesday or Wednesday, most likely.
Night 0 is a no-action night. You don't need to worry about making choices if you have any.
