That VLA is fine, I'll make sure that isn't a deadline depending on when we start, if it causes a slightly longer Day 1 or something, so be it.

LL/UE I will probably steal one of you to be co-mod, I can't really post vote counts at times of day when either of you is likely to be more available, can't decide right now.

Don't worry, I'm here to make mistakes too! You won't feel lonely, I guarantee you.

Also, read the flavour, it's amazing/addictive and knowing the theme's always fun.

I just wasted the whole morning reading the webcomic. Or perhaps it wasn't wasted....

I'm happy to co-mod. Would be great to get some mod chops back before I mod my own game again.

Yeah if you're more happy to co-mod than to play I'd love to have you, then both UE and LL get to play.

Glad you enjoyed the flavor! And yeah, the game could be played with absolutely 0 knowledge, although a bit helps for enjoyment.

And this game is deliberately more simple than the RMM games, many players will have no power other than their voice and their vote and the powers that do exist will all be from the (admittedly kind of long) list in the 2nd post. Those all link to descriptions on a wiki on another site and you can click them if you want to know about them, but I promise other players know what all of them do and can help you along.

But you know there won't be crazy newly invented roles or mechanics in this setup, I think it's a reasonable one to start with even if it's probably harder than a designated newbie game.

Hi and thanks!! I've been trying to decide if I should play (we have an almost two year old now so time is a scarce thing) but if you insist, I'm in!

And that's the hammer! Congrats on the baby you two!

I won't actually be able to send out role PMs until tomorrow afternoon though, sorry about that. I stayed up too late focussing on something else last night and have done nothing but shovel myself out today and now I have way too much to do. Fortunately time is an illusion, so none of this matters.

Simone de Beauvoir heard voices arguing in the living room. As she hung up her coat, she heard the bolt on the door slide shut. Spinning around, she saw Niccolò Machiavelli standing between her and the now-locked door. The apartment she shared with Sartre now had no exit.

Machiavelli steepled his fingers like a creep.

"Game Night is ours, de Beauvoir, my minion is already explaining the rules to your former underlings. I shall either join your game night..." he paused menacingly" or see it destroyed! And Sartre already said I was free to play."

"Fine. Whatever. It can't be worse than letting Camus pick again."

She walked into the living room, Machiavelli slinking in behind her. Carnap was explaining something very enthusiastically.

"...so if we can develop a logical system for studying the relations between cases and evidence, we can then create a logic for evaluating the reliability of a hypothesis. Of course, we cannot be sure that any hypothesis is true, but we could perhaps evaluate its degree of confirmation! First we must separate the truth-values of sentences from their supposed meanings of course..."

"Sure, let's do that Carnap," Wittgenstein rolled his eyes.

At the front of the room Thomas Hobbes cleared his throat.


"Now, I shall dealeth the rolle cards! Take a moment to read them, then collectively attept to avoid falling back into a chaotic state of nature and democratically vote on who to execute. It is fun!"

Shortly after the cards were dealt, Machiavelli lurked up from his chair and crept over to Hobbes, showing him his card. Hobbes cleared his throat.

"I have something to proclaim, everyone. Niccolò here is an Innocent Child, that means he is absolutely confirmed to be loyal to your town."

"Aye, but how dae we ken that for certain?" Hume asked.

"I am the moderator. That's like being the king, so because I said so."

"Do you love wisdom enough to be a true philosopher-king? Do you think you truly know that that is what the card says?"

Hobbes threw the card down on the table. "Simply read it yourselves if you do not believe me!"

"Even if we see "Innocent Child" on the card, might it not actually say "Mafia Goon" and the words seen by our eyes be but a trap for our credulity laid by an evil demon?" Descartes pointed out.

Hobbes rubbed his forehead is disgust.


"We're just asking questions. Is there something wrong with asking questions? Perhaps you could tell me how you would solve this problem without asking such apparently simple questions?"

"All forms of the state have democracy for their truth! Let us vote, who here really trusts Machiavelli?"

"Fine, cast your votes, let us get this over with."

jotheonah has been lynched. They were Niccolò Machiavelli, an Innocent Child!

Hobbes patted Machiavelli gently on the back.

"Let us try this again. Niccolò, you shall help me moderate this leviathan and together we shall listen to their discourse and share the passion of laughter. Try not to let it get to you, better feared than loved remember."

Machiavelli wiped a single tear from his eye and nodded.
