Arthur Dent sat in a chair next to the Nutrimatic Drink Dispenser, as he had been for quite some time. The floor around the rather average British man was covered in crushed Styrofoam cups and a foul liquid which tasted almost, but not entirely, completely unlike tea.

Place your order, sir.

“I’d like some tea.” he said, placing another cup underneath the machine’s nozzle.

Dispensing,” crooned the machine as it filled the cup to the brim. Arthur took a drink, then spat it out, crushed the cup, and tossed it to the side.

“Arthur! What the hell are you doing?” shouted Ford Prefect, who had just run in from the other room. “We’re firing up the Infinite Improbability Drive! Remember what happened last time we tried to use it while you were trying to get that confounded machine to make you tea?”

“Vaguely, yes.” Arthur sighed and turned back to the machine. “I’d like some tea,” he said again.

Engaging drive,” the ship’s computer announced through the speaker. The ship began to curve and flex in mysterious, increasingly improbable ways. Matter appeared, blinked, and then spontaneously disappeared. A flower pot appeared, then immediately thought “oh no, not again”.

“I’d like some tea.”

“Will you bloody stop it?” shouted a rather penguin-like Ford.

Reaching Infinite Improbability in 3...2...1…zero…

As the computer finished enunciating the o in zero, a group of fifteen or so people appeared from nowhere.

Ford Prefect, mysteriously returned to human form, noticed the people standing there. “Who the bloody hell are you lot?”

The fifteen players said nothing.

“Oh well,” he muttered to himself, “just the drive going crazy again. You lot! Do what you got to do quick, and then get out of here, you hear me?”

0. shinyskarmory is your host, and the RNG is your god. I have the right to resolve any disputes that may arise in any way I see fit.

0. This game is No Outside Communication. That means you may not communicate AT ALL outside the game thread, unless your role PM says so. Any violations of this rule will result in you being godkilled in whichever way I feel would be most damaging to you and your team. You are also forbidden to edit or delete your posts. Also, once you’re dead, you may not communicate with players still alive unless you are in an anti-town faction, in which case you may talk to your teammates only. There will be a deadchat.

1. Basic Day Rules-This game is a Day Start game. Each Day phase will last 72 hours minimum, with extensions of 72 hours, 48 hours, and 24 hours earnable based on activity (see Rule 3). During the Day, you may vote to lynch any other player by posting “Day X-Lynch <USER>” in bold. To change your vote, simply post “Unvote” in bold, and then post your new vote. If majority is reached, then the player will be immediately lynched; however, at the end of the day, any player with a plurality of votes will be lynched.

2. Day Rules: Special Circumstances-
  • If, at the end of any day, the vote is tied, then the player involved in the tie with the most TOTAL votes (all votes that were cast, even if they were later changed) during the day will be lynched. If it is still a tie, no player will be lynched.
  • If majority is reached but a vote is changed before I can update, the existing majority will stand and the player will still be lynched.
  • Votes for dead players or players not in the game are void.
  • On MYLO/LYLO days, a majority MUST be reached in order for a lynch to occur.
3. Earning Extensions-When there are approximately 12 hours remaining in a Day Cycle, I will post an Activity Review along with one of the vote counts. If I find your activity since the beginning of the day and/or the last extension to be satisfactory, I will extend the deadline for the day. Deadline extensions will be 72 hours for the first extension, 48 for the second, 24 each for the third and fourth (with no further extensions), for a maximum day length of 10 IRL days if all possible extensions are earned.

4. Night Rules-At night, if you have an action, respond to the conversation with your role PM to use it. You may also use said conversation to ask me any questions you feel need to be private. If you have an action that you would prefer not to use, you MUST send me a PM telling me so. Nights will last 24 hours UNDER ALL CIRCUMSTANCES, even if all actions are sent in faster.

5. Inactivity-Please don't do it. Lurking makes the game worse for everybody. If you don't post in the thread at least every 24 hours or so, you'll get a warning. If inactivity continues, you'll be subbed out if I have one available. The same goes for night actions-miss more then one and I'll sub you out. If you inform me about absences beforehand, we can talk about giving you a temporary replacement instead of a full sub. If you don't, I have no choice but to just sub you out.

6. Role Distribution: After signups conclude, I will use Random.org to distribute a random role from the list below to each player in the game. No player will get the same numbered role as another player; however, duplicate roles do exist and can be given out. The first setup meeting the following criteria will be used:
  • village must have greater than 50% of the votes on Day 1 (i.e. if every villager was cleaned D1, they would be able to win a lynch against a known mafian or third party)
  • the mafia faction may be no larger than 33% of the game size
  • there may be no more then 3 neutrals
Any amusing setups created by the RNG that I don’t end up running will show up in postgame.

7. The Jackass Clause-Don’t be one. This obviously applies to stuff like intentionally screwing over your team/allies, constant verbal abuse of other players in the game, deadtalking, but can also be extended to anything else I deem to be jackassery. You’ll be subbed or godkilled, pretty much. Unintentional poor play is not included in this clause.

8. The Fun Clause-This is not a 100% serious game. Balance is NOT guaranteed. With that in mind, relax a bit and have fun. You still need to pay attention to posts and try to win, but keep everything relaxed.

9. The Elastic Clause-I reserve the right to change the rules of this game at any time for any reason.

Added Day 1:

10. Host Screwups-They will happen every now and then. If a host screwup occurs that affects gameplay, it will be undone or resolved to the best of my ability. If the mistake occurs during the day, and players would have voted differently (in my judgement) if the screwup had not occured, then the vote count will be reset. Additionally, any Hosting Error that occurs will increase the odds of a deadline increase at the next Deadline Review.

The group of 15 people were standing around doing nothing at all. Trillian had gotten the idea that it would have been fun to walk around handing out slips of paper.

She finished and returned to the ship's bridge.

The 15 people kept silently standing. It was eerie.

"What the hell's wrong with you lot?" Ford Prefect demanded. "Get to it!"

RANDOM.ORG has spoken. Sorry Empoof! :p

Oh btw, I would recommend that all of you guys watch this thread, just so that you don't miss anything if possible.
 
Flavor Scene Incoming!

Trillian returned to the room. "Are they still just pointing fingers at each other?"

"Yes," Ford replied, draining another cup of whatever foul liquid the Nutrimatic Drink Dispenser put out. "It's rather boring, if you ask me."

Trillian looked closer at the crowd. One of the fifteen people assembled seemed to be shorter then the rest, and she ran in and yanked him out. "Look at this one! He can't be older then eight!"

"He's Cancerous," Arthur said rather laconically. "I'd like some tea."

"He's completely innocent! How could he be cancerous?"

Ford chimed in before Trillian had a coronary episode. "No, Arthur meant that his name is actually Cancerous."

"You can't make this stuff up," the boy added. "Reality is unrealistic."

"I like this one," Arthur said. "Get back in with the rest of them," he continued, before shouting,"Oy! You lot! This one's innocent, don't kill him."

"The Infinite Improbability Drive must be drunk..." Trillian muttered as she returned to the bridge.

A new rule has been added, effective from this point onwards:

New Rule said:
10. Host Screwups-They will happen every now and then. If a host screwup occurs that affects gameplay, it will be undone or resolved to the best of my ability. If the mistake occurs during the day, and players would have voted differently (in my judgement) if the screwup had not occured, then the vote count will be reset. Additionally, any Hosting Error that occurs will increase the odds of a deadline increase at the next Deadline Review.
A Hosting Error has been made. Each Hosting Error that occurs increases your odds of a favorable judgement at the next Deadline Review. Of course, activity doesn't hurt either.

A role has been revealed!

Next Vote Count: 4:00 PM EDT (GMT-4) on April 27th (~6 hours away).
Next Deadline Review: 4:00 PM EDT (GMT-4) on April 28th (~30 hours away)
Deadline currently set at: 4:00 PM EDT (GMT-4) on April 29th (~54 hours away)

Because there were no votes on Cancerous at the time he PMed me about the mistake, I see no reason to reset the vote count.

Carry on.
