You, the happy denizens of the 24th Century, have awoke to find something eerily wrong. The year is 2381 and everything is… differenty. Everywhere in the universe, at the same time, I, Q, appear and announce that I have collapsed several different universes together for no reason other than fun, and that I've introduced an Mafia of evil people who want nothing more than to kill everyone and everything in the universe. To that end, they’ve stolen some ugly blue police box from the Department of Temporal Investigations evidence vault on REDACTED and started messing with history, starting with the moment the Federation Temporal Agency and Starfleet Temporal Integrity Commission would allow them to do so, February 28, 2381 (a Saturday.)
The Alpha Quadrant's still recovering from the apocalyptic Borg invasion, during which sixty billion Federation civilians, half of Starfleet. and three quarters of the Klingon Defense Force were wiped out in the span of a week. The invasion was stopped only by the dissolution of the Borg Collective by the Caeliar, a mysterious, hermit-like race who evolved from humanoid form to become fully artificial beings made of controllable atoms (catoms). And just to show you that they're a lot of fun, they're also the geniuses who created the Borg, entirely by accident. Yes, that's right, you puny humans, the Borg were a cosmic accident. They're gone now... or are they? Maybe a few survived, you might never know...
I've tweaked some of your alignments to make the games more amusing for me. You have all been sent to the newly christened Deep Space Nine (II) station, designed by Master Chief Petty Officer Miles O'Brien and his assistant, Lieutenant Commander Nog. This place was even more boring than the last station until a few cubes came by & gave it some much-needed character.
This game is for 19 players. Signups will be closed late Monday evening (May 30) if enough players have signed up, otherwise the deadline will be extended. Priority will be given to those who are currently in no games; please indicate the number of games you are currently in. Players may also sign up to replace; replacements will be chosen in random order.
Mentors are encouraged & there will be a spectator thread.
EDIT 6/28: I'm getting the action log spreadsheet ready and rolling randoms now. Role PMs will go out starting at 9 PM CST today. Game thread will go up, and the game will begin, once all role PMs are sent. Spectator thread will be created and sent to the spectators at that time as well.
MENTORS: Mentees, please create a mentoring Quicktopic and PM the thread link to your mentor. Please also add myself and Teia Rabishu to your PM.

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.

Oh, I didn't know we were using those old names, Crayak. Guess I'll have to go with being the Prophets instead of Ellimist this time.
Don't worry, everyone, I've made sure this little game is as fair as can be. I promise that Q's mafia has its share of checks and balances. With proper skill and luck, all of you in our little DS9 town can prevail. If not, I foresee some rather enterprising Ferengi making a very lucrative voyage to the Iskoort with your remains. So good will prevail despite Q's best attempts to the contrary.
I would really love to have a mentor, but this time frame doesn't work for me right now (also, love Star Trek, sooooo bummed by the timing here). If you're still accepting in a week or two, I'm definitely interested.

Well, considering the pace the bigger games have been (or more like haven't been) filling lately, you'll make it.

/mentor, or spectate. Put me at bottom of the mentor list. Time isn't super duper free, but I don't mind talking mafia to people who genuinely want to improve.

**** it /in. And I would love a mentor. I need to improve.

/replace. As much as I want to play, I will hardly be online soonish.
Currently in a Micro, and for ever and always in Mind Screw mafia.
I'm not in any games and would love to be mentored!
/replace I guess?
Unless anyone wants some really weird mentoring
Edit: In zero games
