Things to remember: 1) A full writeup of the rules can be found here: www.mafiascum.net/This game will be more complicated than what's described there, as nearly everyone has some sort of 'special thing' about them. Doesn't mean everyone has a night power, but you never know... 2) When you vote, please do so by saying Vote: [Player] in bold. If you wish to change your vote, please say Change Vote: [Player] instead. Voting for 'Nobody' is a valid vote; if a majority votes for 'nobody' then nobody will be lynched and we'll move on to the Night phase. 3) If your role says you -may- or -can- PM me a target, you don't have to do anything at night. Even so, it'll speed things along quite a bit if you'd still just send me a PM saying "Not using my [whatever] power tonight, thanks." 4) If your role says you -must- PM me a target, and you do not? I'll pick one randomly. Or, perhaps, not-so-randomly. Don't blame me if you target someone who kills you. 5) You may NOT send a PM to anyone about this game unless your role explicitly says you can. This is cheating. 6) Do NOT edit your posts in this thread. This is cheating. 7) Please do not copy-and-paste anything from any PM I send you to the thread. This is also cheating. 8) Please do not post in this thread after you are killed. This, too, is cheating and can ruin the game if done wrong. 9) Remember, it's just a game. You will get paranoid, you will be stabbed in the back by someone, you will see somebody do or say something stupid and want to smack them. Just breathe deep and relax. If things get out of hand, we do have a mod around who will forcibly remind you to chill out if needed. It hasn't happened yet, and I'd like to keep it that way. 10) It's called Anonymous mafia. Keep it that way. |

It happened once every 12 years. They had waited patiently as the other animals had had their turns. Rabbits, Monkeys and Dogs had all had their times to shine but now, finally it was their turn again. It was the Year of the Dragon.
The Dragons were congregating. The location for this year’s festivities was secluded. It was a series of tunnels and caves on the side of a volcano. They twisted and turned in the mountainside leading to a central meeting spot in the middle, which gave full view to the stars above at night.
The event was by invitation only. Kept secret as to not be disturbed, Dragons near and far had gathered this way once every 12 years for millennia. Some of the Dragons were as old as the festivities themselves and were rumoured to even have attended the very first one. Some were young and new and honoured to be included.
__________________________
Dragons flocked in from all over the globe. Some flew, some swam, some crawled and some appeared as if by magic. As they arrived, they were shown to private caves made to resemble their home surroundings. Care had been taken to see that each and every dragon, no matter age or size, had been properly taken care of.
But not everyone eyed this event as a positive thing. One figure certainly did not. She had not been invited. She had expected an invitation and it had never arrived; a fact that made her quite furious. Her blood boiled as she realized that she had not just been forgotten, but cast aside. They didn’t forget to invite her, they didn’t want her there. And that is precisely why she MUST be there.
__________________________
Outside the caves, someone was yelling, furiously:
“DDDDRRRRRAAAAAGGGGOOOONNNN!!!!”
This was not over.
__________________________
The Dragons had settled and were gathering in the common area. The space was just big enough for the lot of them as they looked up to the sky. Shining down on them was a Dragon in the stars. He was the host of this year’s event and was twinkling brightly for all to see. He was about to address the crowd when the commotion began. It started with a flash of light, blinding everyone around. After a few seconds of panic, their eyes began to adjust to the dark.... wait... The dark? Why was it dark? The Dragon in the stars had been bathing the common area in light a few seconds ago. The crowd of dragons looked up at the barren sky. It had begun.
Bouquet is dead. He was Draco, Dragon of the Stars, also known as Magnito.
Day 1 Starts now. With 24 players, 13 is a majority.

It's vexing, on this night of fun
That our Lord should be extinguished.
When found this petty vagabond,
Their life shall be relinquished.

Fun opening. First impression I have is Malificent is here and she doesn't have the best of intentions.

But NOOOOOOOOOOOO, my power has to be mundane, boring, and only semi-useful.

Makes me wonder if Dragon hunters are the mafia. This is the path that I predict For slaying drakes must be in vogue Whereas the Dragon Noble Spurned Must be a wrathful murd'rous rogue. |

Malif might be a Serial Killer since she really isnt a dragon but I think that dragon hunters are going to be our enemies.

I agree that the write up kind of sounds like Maleficient.

Also, Maleficent doesn't make as much sense. She always seemed to be more of a fairy or a witch, even if she turned into a dragon at the end. And all the powers of Hell.
Still, I have no better ideas. It's a definite possibility.

The fact "she" was singled out made it seem to me it was a threat that was more than a simple dragon, so Mal fit, to me. It's way early though.
The "DRAGON" yell... Sounds familiar. Shrek/Donkey?

What dragons do we know that speak in rhyme? Someone of or relating to Etrigan, perhaps?

It was evident not only in her abilities but also in her fashion sense. I don't think it matters if it is Narissa vs Maleficent, they would be the same person as far as these things go. At worst, the two of them would be a Serial Killer duo or part of the mafia. |
