[Ended] Slaughter @ Santa's [If You're With Me, Everything's Alright]

[Solaris]

Twas the morning of Christmas, Right inside Santa's House
And not a creature was stirring, Not a single elf or mouse.
For inside the factory, only a step away
The elves were celebrating as they unpacked Santa's sleigh.

The elves were unwinding, and the reindeer sat down,
The two Claus' were kissing, festivities were abound!
Everything was quiet, it was a wonderful scene...
When all of the sudden, there was a scream.

"Santa Claus, Santa Claus" the reindeer yelled.
"Something horrible has happened, Oh, I just can't bring myself to tell!"
"What has happened?" Asked the good St. Nick.
"Well, don't just stand there, get a medic, quick!"

As it turned out to be, things were not well.
As the Reindeer had a very bad story to tell.
He had gone in the home of Santa and his wife.
And found Rudolph there, dead, stabbed by a knife.

The elves were terrified, it was a tragedy.
They thought of the murderer... Who could it be?
Santa calmed them down, as best he could.
But things went from bad to worse, as in a storm blew.

Locked in the factory, with death in the air
Santa and the elves could only stare
Some would faint, some would cry.
But as they were soon to find out, they would have to fight, or die.

Yo!
First of all, I would like to wish you all Happy Holidays and a very Merry Christmas.

So... As you might be able to gather, this is a Mafia Game set inside Santa's Toy Factory.
Unlike the last two games I've run, this one will be rather normal and not very clusterfucky.
Yes, there are certainly a few... malicious elements, as it wouldn't be a Solaris game without one, but overall it should play out at least half normally.
It will be sort of an in between to Waterworks and St. Capones in terms of role distribution.
Oh, and I might need names or something???

What I do know, is that I need about 21 players for what I hope to be a nice game!

01. IF YOU ARE NOT NICE I WILL TURN THIS MAFIA AROUND YOUNG PERSON!

02. BOLD DEM VOTES. <And unvotes!> This is possible with the [b][/b] code. If you Color and bold I will love you.

03. You have deadlines for night actions and to lynch someone. If I am feeling exceptionally nice I will extend things but most of the time I will just cancel your night action. I will send Private Messages for daystarts.

04. Do not edit posts ever. Quckedits for typo’s or messed up code is fine, but no deleting game content things.

05. Speaking of game content, do not talk about the game outside of your quicktopic. This goes for everyone. If you die, you get one post to say darn and that’s it.

06. In the same vein, don’t post at night either. Not even to tell someone else not to.

08. Look, just don’t be a jerk okay? Most of you will be on a team with most of the other people posting in the thread. Don’t game break, don’t out your scummates, don’t massclaim, don’t copy from PM’s, don’t take being killed or being found suspicious personally. Just be considerate to your fellow players, regardless of alignment.

07. Post often. Post often. Post often. Post often. Post often. Post often. Post often. Post often. Post often. Post often. Post often. Post often. Post often. Post often. Post often. Post often. Post often. Post often. Post often. Post often. Post often. Post often. Post often. Post often. Post often.

09. Okay, this is like the third time but I want thirteen rules and I am starting to run out so I’m just going to repeat things. Make this game a friendly environment for your fellow players. This means posting often, posting with content, posting with courtesy to others, and realizing when you might have gone too far. I will prod you if I think you are being detrimental to the state of my game, be it by jerkiness, or if you are being inactive.

10. I swear to god if you fucking criticize my votals three minutes after I put them up I will shiv you.

11. As per usual, the content of my game will be at least a little on the zany side, try to have fun and if you really think that you won’t be able to get through this game with your sanity, give me a message and I’ll try to help you. There will be third parties, there will be crazy shit, no role will be unable to win, though they may be mislead.

12. If you want to be replaced you are going to have to privately tell me. I will ignore in-thread requests. If you have questions about your role, same thing! If you need any help at all that is not related to in-thread scumhunting whatevercrap, just ask!

13. Relax, have fun, and as always, be excellent to each other.

[Solaris]

To Review
Game begins when I have my players, which I suppose is 21.
If you wish, you may send in your elf name, if not, one will be given to you.
There will not be an observer chat.
Failure to adhere to the rules will result in warnings and punishments of increasing bastardy.

In other news, this is a great setup and you should all join right now!

[Pony Hank]

[konec0]

very well

[youdont12know]

Whelp, I'm dead everywhere except stupidfia right now. IN

[Solaris]

Okay I finished some flavor things and the set up is mostly done.
There seems to be some confusion on what an Elf name is, it is more or less anything you want it to be.
Just pick a ~nice name~ that isn't like ELFY ELFERSON THE ELF
Cutsey, Cookie, Fantasy, any elf name is fine.

[GenetiXientist]

If Seedy doesn't send in a name, may I pick for her? :evil:

Same for Red :doubleevil:

[Intoxicating Starlight]

In. Because it says not much clusterfuckery.

Maybe my chances of surviving past D1 will increase!
...Then again...

NO GENEY YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DO THESE THINGS
DO YOU WANT ME TO PULL OUT THE BUNNY OUTFIT AGAIN
OR WILL IT BE A SWIMSUIT THIS TIME

[Solaris]

I am now taking a somewhat active approach to the final four.
You can still sign up though!

[ThirdEmperor]

If you're still taking new players, I'm in.

[Havakazoo]

Likewise, I will be in if there is still space for extra

[Solaris]

Doo Doo Dee Doo

~two more~

(also last chance for elf name to all who remain, when i get 21 if i dont have one oh well)

[youdont12know]

Uhh, are mine allowed? (Since I was the one who didn't know in the first place)

[Solaris]

If I don't respond to your PM on elf names that probably means that I accepted it.
You can also choose not to pick your own by the way.

[anacreon]

Count me IN and i choose not to pick my elf name

[Solaris]

OKAY
I HAVE EVERYTHING READY
I WILL SEND OUT ROLE PM'S IN REVERSE SIGN UP ORDER TO BE DIFFERENT
CONFIRM WHEREVER YOU WANT
DAY STARTS WHEN I FINISH WITH THE ROLE SENDING

[Solaris]

Day 1

The unfortunate surprise of a Reindeer busting down the factory doors and announcing that there had been not just a death, but a murder in the North Pole left everyone in a panic. It was the North Pole, something associated with goodness and giving and love and cooperation, not the dead carcass of a poor young creature.

Are there more?
Who's next?
Where are they?
What do we do?
The elves were in a state of absolute chaos. They had every reason to be. They had never had to deal with this before. This was not something they could ever imagine, not in a million years. But it was.

Santa Claus observed the panicking elves as he attempted to come up with a plan. As it was now, there were about twenty-two elves in the factory, most of the workers had left by now, leaving only a small percentage of elves who were working on the Mission Control or who returned to the factory for one reason or another. As much as he hated to say it, any one of them could be in disguise, and with Christmas Eve's run done, he didn't have anywhere near the amount of magic left to figure out who.

Mrs. Claus eventually took the center stage. She was brief in telling them to calm down, and that Santa would figure out some way to get them out of it. She then told Santa's helpers, the two elves who had gone on his world-wide trip, and as a result could not have been a part of this, to go and see how the rest of the factory was.

While the rest of the elves regrouped and calmed down, the two helpers went off and then made the mistake of splitting up. When they checked around and met up once more, one of them was a lot less alive than the other. The elf saw the body of his companion, lying there, and then was attacked himself.

Back with the main group of elves and others where just moments ago tragedy appeared, and things finally looked like they would wind down. A survey of each of the elves by the Mr. and Mrs. determined that none of them could have been responsible, and without another sign of attack, they could expand the search elsewhere.

It was of course, then, that the two helpers, one dragged by the other, dropped to the floor. You recognize them as gloomyMoron and GenetiXientist.

They were Gertram Ditz and Galus Merridth, Santa's Helper Elves. As loyal as elves came, they loved the North Pole and Santa and just about everything about what they did. They were two peas in a pod, always together and always hanging out. When they were both chosen to help Santa with the gift giving, they were ecstatic beyond belief. Upon returning and seeing what had happened, they were determined to keep in contact with each other, as neither could ever believe that the other was somehow against the betterment of the North Pole.

They were Town-Confirmed Masons
Each night they could have spoken with each other in a private quicktopic.
They were members of the Elven Union and would have won when all threats to it were dead.

It was obvious that the previous assessment was wrong. There were a few options to go to from here, and it was silently known which would be the one used. Many people locked in a room, murderers among them, if they split up they would be killed off one by one, stick together and nothing gets done. Then the answer decided, as terrible as it could be, is to pick someone to remove, using a majority. Tallied by the Mr. and Mrs. Claus, they would hunt out their opponents, with a lynch mob.

Set Up Guidelines
-No Game Ending Jesters or such
-No Alignment Changing
-No Silencers or obliterators
-Don't ask about sanities
-There might be day activations
-You can trust people confirmed to be on your side
-Vanilla roles do exist

-Not everything is as it seems
-Before you ask, Penguins live in the South Pole
