ANGRY GHOSTS
Time to get spooky!

Angry Ghosts is a game of mafia with a spectral twist. You play mediums conversing with the spirits of the departed, but there are possessed mediums in your midst who want only wish to bring bloodshed and ruin upon you all. Death is only the beginning!

- When players die, they stay on in the thread and can keep posting (though their votes no longer count).
- Only dead players have night actions.
- Some players will start the game as ghosts.
- There are no roleflips.

Spoiler: Mafia Rules (click to show/hide)

Basic rules:
 - No PMing to anyone but me, the mod.
 - No Quoting of the Mod in relation to PMs. You are free to quote anything in the thread. You may also paraphrase.
 - Semi-hammers in effect. Days last on a soft 48 hours, unless majority is voting for any player or No Lynch. If a player is hammered, there is to be no more talking. If you accidentally post something after the hammer, you can and should edit out the post.
 - Nights last 24 hours or whenever all the actions are sent in. If you do not wish to action, please send a PM stating so. You may send in your actions early during the day.
 - Weekends count at half the rate (so 24 hours on Saturday = 12 hours towards the game time).
- Extensions are only by GM discretion. Please be active.
 - Vote by putting player names in bold and red:  Bold and Red.
 - Only mediums can vote, and they can only vote for other mediums.
 - Use powers by sending a PM to the mod with the name of the player you want to target; angry ghosts can do this using their Quicktopic.
- Players are limited to one action per night, and only ghosts have night actions.
- Ties at end of day are randomly resolved, except if the number of Evil Mediums is tied with Good Mediums, in which case Evil Mediums win.
- The number of Evil Mediums is known (see setup info below).
- Players are invited to treat each other with respect and help make the game a welcoming and fun experience for others.

This gentle yet fierce spirit is content to watch, unless there's a drought of players.

(I can't guarantee to be able to post thoughtfully enough to play Mafia well in the next couple of weeks.)

As a side note for anyone looking at this and thinking "Man I wish there was a simpler mafia game up so I could join that for my first game"
Despite it's vagaries this is pretty much the most down-to-earth straight shooting game you could play.
The night game doesn't matter outside of the night game (chasing kills with single use protects) and the day game is going to have the input of the entire set of players (and everyone else on the subforum if I'm reading the OP right) for it's whole duration.
It's like a beginners mafia except every player who feels like it can IC, so you're likely going to get a whole lot more input on how to play than you would almost anywhere else and there's a lot of time that will be saved because we don't really need to worry about the mechanics or rolefishing.

Uh?

If anyone is on the fence, it's as dolores says: this should be quite an accessible game, and everyone can get involved whether they die or not-- so if you're worried about activity, you'll have plenty of time to talk whether you live or die.

I'm trying something a bit different here, counting weekends at half the time. The idea is to avoid massive double-length days every weekend, but also make sure no day falls entirely on a weekend.

[Nirur Torir]

I'll in, kibitzing looks to be an amusing gimmick.

[Deus Asmoth]

I'll go in.

[Powder Miner]

Yeah, sure, I've been wanting to play a Mafia. In.

[Tiruin]

NQT GAME
In me.

I’ll pee the woman.

You know I read THIS instead. Also I'm extemely rusty after having gotten a job and trying to live (and also being very sorry about many things in the far flung past towards people who in my own perspective I believe I've hurt a lot!)

[notquitethere]

Great to have you on board! (Also, I struggle to believe you could ever cause any long term offence, Tiruin. You're the most affable person on this forum!)
