The Stone of Souls. Once a century it flickers to life. Once a century the ritual of dominion can be performed and the soul stainers can make another attempt to rule the world. Once a century a few brave warriors and mages go to stone in order to stop that ritual. Twelve of you have arrived. Most of you have come to defend the stone but you know that among you are Soul Stainers, heartless individuals who can alter the very fabric of your souls. If they gain pull over all here, then they will gain dominion over the Stone of Souls and by extension total dominion over the world for a century.
All night actions should be sent to both myself and peeker to make sure that they are counted.
Every day players may vote to throw a player against the Stone of Souls to be devoured by its wild energy.
Days will last 4 days, Nights will last 2 days unless popular desire leans otherwise.
Standard mafia rules will apply HOWEVER color is a very important part of this game so mod questions should not be colored (however they can be bolded) and votes should be in Size Four. No other use of color in text is permitted unless you are told to do so by a mod. I'm sure I missed something so ask me questions while you confirm.

The sun rises over the stone of souls, sparking it into life. Shimmering tendrils of light snake around the glen, caressing you, reminding you, at dusk one of you dies, or you all do.
It is now Day 1. Day 1 will end at 2 pm eastern time, Thursday.

This is a Blockey Special. We are in for weird.
The OP said that the bad guys in this game are the Soul Stainers. The one mechanic that we know about is that we are not supposed to use coloured font in our posts.
I'd guess that the SS are going to run amok and force us to post in pretty colours, although I do hope Mr. B is going to rule out obnoxious colour combinations with little or no contrast (yellow on white, for example.) My eyes aren't up to deciphering such combos any more. Or perhaps someone has a container of soul bleach?
I assume that highlighting a post without permission is also A Bad Idea?

This is a Blockey Special. We are in for weird. Never having experienced a Blockey Special, could someone explain some of the weird things that have been in previous Blockey games? If not, could you point me to the best games to read to get an idea of the type of weirdness I might encounter?

*Laughs Maniacally* I would prefer no highlighting, but the only color changes in the game will occur to text. MentalGuy: All my previous mini games are on this board. They're pretty easy to look through. I promise this is nowhere near as off the wall as the Mad science one though.

Okay - here we go I love Day 1's. Everyone is talking about nothing and voting based on almost nothing and we often end up with some silly bandwagon that leads to Town getting lynch. However - later in the game there will be so much data from Day 1 and by day 3 we often have been able to catch scum based on their change in play-style from Day 1-3. Later in games I hate lurkers but often if they survive until Day 3 we seem unable to get them lynched (often they will just fly under the radar as a "lurker" for the rest of the game while we lynch more vocal players). So as a Day 1 stategy I'm okay with LTL. That being said... this is not standard mafia and we might seem some new twists to the game. And the color thing is very confusing to me. I have absolutely no idea what to make of that!

So as a Day 1 stategy I'm okay with LTL. I'm okay with LTL as a backup plan. It's a second option if we can't get some good discussion going. But we shouldn't be striving for LTL at the very onset of the day. I will say, however that bringing it up this early, before there is even a possibility of there being a lurker is one of two things: 1. A way to send a message to would be lurkers. 2. A way to ensure that LTL is in the forefront of our minds. If it's #2 its a bit suspect. LTL is about as useful as a random.org lynch, since it doesn't rely on people to go out on a limb and make cases. Every case is: I think so and so is the biggest lurker. It pretty much negates any information that could be gained by the lynch.

Meh, I am only ever situationally in favor of lynching lurkers. But then, I am only ever situationally in favor of lynching anyone. If the situation makes it seem like lynching a lurker is best, then so be it. Right now it's too early to say what the best move is. But since we are doing the typical Day 1 grandstanding I will get on my soap box and say that I think we should lynch scum. I know, it's not the popular choice, but there you have it.

I agree with NAF. Anybody want to stand up and admit they're scum? Anyone? Well, that would have made Day 1 a lot easier. -shrug- I tried.
