This is a forum game, please post here only if you have been directed from the Sign-Up Thread.
"It has been -"
Flubbucket intones,
"- many years since you have felt need to seek my counsel."
A respecful silence has fallen on the congregated.
"You see sir," Pooka speaks up nervously, "we tried to settle it amongst ourselves, but it's too provocative an argument. They're insisting that their side is right, and they're just getting angry when we explain how it's an inferior system-"
"You take that back!" screams Vitek, "Daychat is the inferior and you know it!"
"If inferior means 'obviously better' then I agree with you, good you're finally talking sense!" Pooka shrieks back.
Catte launches himself at Pooka, howling indistinctly, and is held back by three others.
Chaos breaks out as all the GoG Mafia community begin shouting and attacking each other.
"I see -"
Flubbucket intones,
"- why mediation has become necessary."
His voice, though spoken moderately, subdues the assembly once more.
"Let us begin..."
---
Three weeks pass, and no progress is made. Even flubbucket's patience is waning.
"I decree -"
Flubbucket intones,
"- that we shall return to The Old Methods of mediation. We may, with our modern sensibilities, find it brutal. But this discord in our community must be quelled. For The Greater Good."
"... the greater good." three people in the crowd mumble.

1. The moderator for the game is JoeSapphire
2. This game has 15 players total: 4 Mafia (with a scumchat) and 11 vanilla town.
3. All players may attempt shoot the gun at any player of their choice as long as there are shots remaining in the gun (6 total shots and 1 live round per reload). Only living players are valid targets.
4. Players may attempt to shoot the gun additional times only after all other players have fired an equal number of shots.
5. The last player in the round may attempt to shoot twice in a row, but only the first shot called in each post will be considered.
6. Shots will be queued up as necessary, but moderators will resolve any shots as quickly as possible.
7. After a successful shot, the gun will be reloaded and any shots remaining in the queue will be removed.
8. Please remember to bold your shots like this: Shoot Telika.
9. All shot attempts are final, and may not be 'unshot'.
10. If six hours pass with no-one attempting to fire, a player who hasn't attempted to fire the gun this round (or who has the least attempts) will be chosen at random to die.
11. When you are dead, you are dead - stop posting. People get dead very quickly in this game, so be prepared for that. We can accept a single post acknowledging your death, that doesn't give any game information to the living players. Something like 'zounds I am bechumped', for example.
12. Don't edit your posts! This is very important! Editing a post is grounds for being modkilled. Do not double post. Two consecutive posts of the same user in a short time frame will merge, creating the appearance of an edited post. The time limit after which you can post without fear of auto-editing is 10 minutes.
13. Please bold any requests or questions to the moderator.
14. Do not discuss the game with anyone outside the thread, unless your role indicates that you may.
15. Do not quote or paraphrase too closely any PMs you receive from a moderator.
16. If you can no longer participate in the game or expect to be absent for an extended period, let me know and we can work something out or I can try to find a replacement.
17. All players on the winning team win, even if they are dead. Players who are modkilled or has replaced out will automatically lose the game.
18. Roles have been randomly assigned.
19. As this is a 'Nightless' game, the game thread and scumchat will be open 24/7.
20. Remember it’s just a game. Be polite and remain calm.
21. It would not be seemly to have twenty rules.

And so it is that the GoG Forum Mafia community journey in tense silence to the southern shores of Sicily and take their places in La Loggia Giudiziaria di GoG (see fig. 01), and, while flubbucket begins to service is pistol, they prepare to purge forever the dissent from the community...
"Remember -"
Flubbucket intones,
"There's no point in shooting me. I might not even be in the game. Nothing will happen if you shoot me, absolutely nothing."
