The mafia subforum collapses.
The walls of the Imperial palace crash and splinter as a tsunami destroys the temple, sweeping away Onyx Cabal and Jade Council loyalists alike. The wave devours the desert town, picking up tumbleweed, horses, carts and buildings, tearing the walls of the casino asunder to reveal Max, Jack and Knightwing sitting around a poker table and gambling the payouts from their own life insurance policies. The rushing flood sweeps across the nursery beds and swamps unready games, leaving fresh votecounts, panicked dwarves and unpicked roles bobbing in its wake.
The few survivors huddle together on an unsteady raft of policy wagons, gambits snapping at their toes and lurkers drifting far below.
Mephansteras picks his way across the wreckage, mandibles chattering with distaste, his many limbs balanced delicately on a multitude of flotsam.
"All is not lost, and the subforum may yet be saved. One among you will be chosen to restore life and order to the subforum."
"Only the strongest and most devious among you are worthy of this power, and only one is capable of wielding it against the saboteurs, brigands and opportunists who will take advantage of this disaster to jump the divinely ordained Queue, or start games that barely count as social deduction based, let alone mafia, I mean Jesus Christ what even is-"
"There is not much time. Let the tournament begin."
The rules:
The game requires at least three people.
When the game starts, all players send me a personal message with a single positive integer (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and so on).
If any two players send the same integer, they are both excluded from the game.
Once all players have sent a number, the non-excluded player that sent the lowest number wins.
If all players are excluded, the game is declared a draw and players are encouraged to blame FoU.
Talk as much as you like about what you sent in the thread.
Signups close when I stop taking players.
