Welcome to Mystery Mafia 2; a continuation of the story from the first game.

[spoiler=Story]

The Runic War was a dark time for Celestia. An inhuman force who called themselves The Corrputed, marched upon the city on that fateful day. Many soldiers and innocents lost their lives that day, either to death's grasp or being forcibly turned against their own. The city was also lost due to massive fires sparked by infiltrators from The Corrupted. A small band of survivors attempted to travel out to find refuge, but their numbers dwindled due to a malicious group among them: The Manipulators. The survivors attempted to root out the source of the killing in their cluelessness, but did not completely succeed. They managed to oust The Manipulators, but failed to find the other source of death: Travis. Hellbent on making sure that the knowledge from Celestia was lost in the city burning, he took it upon himself to remove the only obstacles to his goal. He succeeded in this, and took control of the few remaining survivors of the group. From there, he eventually rebuilt the city, but to his own choosing.

No one knew how long it has been since the Runic War. You'd even be hard-pressed into finding anyone who actually knew about it. Given Travis' complete erasure of the past, through destroying all records and silencing as many people that knew of the struggle, and his elusiveness, it left most people under his rule, unaware of how he ended up in this position.

The day seemed ordinary. The populace milled about in their daily activities. The rebuilt city, Celestia, seemed inconspicuous among the surrounding desert plain. No longer known as the City of Libraries, due to process unknown to the people, it instead garnered a new name; the City of Illusion. The back streets and alleyways were home to shady characters, who could disappear at a moment's notice. The back streets were a common thoroughfare for some of the populace, as not only was it a convenient cut through from the residential areas to the marketplaces, they could contract the seemingly illusory characters to do dirty work for them. The network of cut-throat assassins and sly merchants kept the city ticking. Sometimes, you had to do what you could to survive. The upstart, honorable part of the populace still had to be aware of the back street deals going on, and could not be complacent.

Celestia used to be one of the most advanced technological cities in this world. No longer is that the case, due to past events. These days, technological advances are slow, due to Travis' 'intervention' upon known researchers. Any advances have to be made in complete secret, and somehow leaked out. The challenge of this process leads very few to pursue it, but there are those that choose to, knowing the risk.

Many a person in this city have met their untimely end due to not being vigilant. Travis, their dictator, is constantly out of sight. Never once has he been identified as the people's ruler. He constantly keeps a disguise on when required to intermingle with the populace. He created this city in this fashion, and it keeps the populace from questioning why it works this way, as otherwise they might find themselves dead.

A slight rumble was heard throughout the city. Most people stood there confused for a little; before continuing with their usual activities. In the back alleys, a street urchin saw an awful occurrence happen before his eyes as he peeked around the corner from where he was sitting; having seen a dim red glow. Waiting to see the conclusion of this occurrence, he then scooted off.

Finding one of his known sources which he knew could spread rumor fast; he hushedly told him what he had seen. It... defied nature. I kid you not, I straight up saw someone bring another person back from the dead! I swear it on my life. You didn't hear this from me though...

Within an hour and a half, the entire city was abuzz with circulating this rumor. Many were skeptical of its validity, but the main reason that anyone spreads a rumor like this is for one of two reasons: to attempt to pass on a truth that eventually Travis would catch wind of, or to attempt to goad him out and try and seize power for yourself. The latter had never been successful to this day.

Sure enough, Travis caught wind of this rumor and prowled the city in disguise.

Travis approached a hooded figure in the back alleys. Look who it is. Someone who thinks they can defy the natural order. He snarled at the figure. The figure turned around to acknowledge his presence, but spoke nothing in return. The figure merely shook what would be the area where a human head would be. Travis subtly drew his bloodstained knife from his cloak, the very same one that he used to end Laura, the last bastion of The Manipulators from times past, and the last remaining resistance from the clueless. Clutching it in a reverse grip, to make it less obvious, Travis slowly walked up to the figure. You might think you're clever and hidden from my view, but little do you know. I am Travis, the ruler of this city. He spoke, stressing the word am. You know what I am good at? Finding out information. I actually know quite a bit about you. For the past year and a half, you've been collecting as much information as possible in order to bring back the dead. For no particular reason, mind, but you wanted to feel the rush of power for defying nature. I learned this not only through second hand information, but even by my own ears. A few times I had conversed and contacted you, feeding you information. Travis paused to take a breath. So you have two options now. You can either serve me without end, or I can end your miserable life right here and now. Your choice.

The figure still gave no reply. However, the figure started to move toward Travis, with malicious intent able to be felt. Travis sidestepped around to the back of the figure as it approached, and swung his left arm around the head area, successfully putting it in a lock, unable to move. So you haven't completely faded from your physical form. That only helps me. I wonder what would happen if I told you your deepest, darkest secret. Would you go insane like the weaklings of the past? Or would you manage to stay sane? Travis lowered his voice and whispered at the figure. No apparent effect had taken place. It seems that most these days have built an immunity to my tricks. So be it. Travis threw the figure down to the ground with a hefty force. Sparing no time, Travis immediately slashed the knife across the figure's robed back, forming an upright cross shape. Blueish-green liquid oozed from the wound almost as soon as it had been formed. Travis then thrust the knife straight into the base of the hood, presumably where it's neck would be. The figure stopped struggling the moment that occurred. I did warn you. Travis muttered under his breath, and quickly walked away and hid in the shadows.

Not too soon after, another rumor spread around that there was a group trying to usurp Travis. This rumor was not very consistent in its story, but nonetheless Travis quickly got to work getting the supposed people into one area. He disguised himself among them, and had a professional assassin oversee the process. If anyone left, they would very quickly find themselves with all their blood leaked from their body.

This is the story of Travis' struggle to hold onto power.

[spoiler=Mechanics]1. This game is No Outside Contact (NOC), meaning there will be no talk outside of the thread, unless you are allowed to via your role or faction.

2. The game will start on Day One.

3. No hidden players. Because they suck.

4. Vote using the ##Verb: (player) system. Makes it so much easier on everyone.

5. This is a modified hammer game. Half of the remaining votes plus one rounded down ((x/2)+1) will lynch someone instantly. Once someone hammers, the hammered may not post.

a) If at the end of a day there is no hammer, if the player with the most votes has at least one third of the possible votes rounded down, they will be lynched. A player lynched in this way cannot talk once phase ends.

i) Not enough votes for a lynch means universal loss the first time. There is no second chance.

ii) No Lynch is an acceptable lynch option, but the vote rules for players still apply.

b) Vote amounts required to lynch/hammer during the game as stated by me will always be accurate. If I say an amount of votes, hammer occurs at that amount no matter what.

i) Modifiers like Hated/Loved will trigger as appropriate based on the number of votes required.

6. Role PM's will be flipped on death.

a) If a player is modkilled for any reason, they will not flip. Their Role PM and alignment will remain hidden. That player also cannot win the game with their faction.

i) Abuse cases like intentionally getting yourself modkilled as you are about to be lynched to hide your own flip, etc, will never end well for you. I will probably just flip you normally in those cases.

ii) Any attempt to tactically modkill yourself will probably result your faction being worse off anyway. Dont push it.

7. If 3 people are modkilled, the game ends in universal loss.

8. I will not confirm in thread if the town has reached LYLO or a variant thereof. I will confirm if a town loss is possible after a cycle, however.

9. Days will be 48 hours, and nights 24 hours. This is not barring extreme personal circumstances. Extensions may be granted if needed. This is not an excuse to be lazy! If you ask for an extension and activity hasn't been great, I will probably deny the request.

a) Day 1 will be 72 hours.

b) Talking is allowed during the night.

10. If you have more than one ability, you may only use one on any given night. No exceptions. If you don't want to use your role on a given night, reply to your Role PM with Night X - Idle. Need to make sure you're paying attention. Any players without an action submitted by deadline will be warned and will forceidle. Second consecutive warning gets you modkilled.

a) Mafia may no-kill without limit should they desire.

b) You may not target yourself unless otherwise stated.

11. Priority list is already generated. There are no roles that mess with the priority list in any way.

12. Night results: Investigation results are not guaranteed to be accurate, redirects will be revealed, roleblocks will be announced, and any other failed actions will not be provided with a reason why. Successful protection actions will not be disclosed.

a) If a limited use ability is roleblocked, it will consume a use. If the action failed for other reasons it will consume a use.

13. No items in this game. Items are lame.

14. The towns wincon is as follows: You are aligned with The Society. You win when all threats have been eliminated.

[spoiler=Rules]1. No direct quoting Role PM's or communications in any way, shape or form. If you want to give results, paraphrase. Any violations will get you modkilled.

a) You can also paraphrase role flavor, give your role name, and give your role without repercussion.

2. You can ask any question of me regarding the game. I reserve the right to not always give a straight answer if it pertains to information that you shouldn't know. Ask questions if you're not sure about whether something isn't allowed or not.

3. Don't talk to people that are not playing about the game. You never know what could happen.

4. Dead people are dead. Period. No nonsense like reviver in this game. If a dead person has access to any quicktopics, they cannot post in them. There is no graveyard, but you may talk to other dead players without repercussions.

a) Obvious implication; information cannot pass from the dead to the living. If you're dead avoid talking to alive players.

5. Players that are AWOL for a day and night phase will be modkilled. If you are going to be away, please let me know in advance. I probably wont modkill you then. I will consider subbing if you are going to be away for an extended period of time.

6. Requests for subs need to either be in the game thread or role PM.

7. Please don't be lame in general. Seriously, this has to be a rule.

8. And if there is something I've missed, it will be placed above and posted in thread.

Every role has a character with a small to medium amount of backstory and personality. If you want, you may roleplay your character.
