It wasn't just any other in the ant kingdom.
No, this day was special.
This was to be the official crowning ceremony of the twin heirs to the throne, Princess TellTaleAnt and Prince Ant-Ihero.
After several decades of peaceful rule, King Mykoniant had decided to abdicate from the throne and pass it on to his children.
As the first rays of the sun touched the colony, a royal servant went into their rooms to wake the two up and prepare them for their ascendancy to the throne... only to find that they had both inexplicably contracted an extremely dangerous disease...
What will happen next in this harrowing tale of
heir ant pair ebola
?
Find out next in this installment of...
WORDPLAY MAFIA!
Presented by Errantparabola!
Special thanks to MYKONIAN, TELLTALEHEART, and ANTIHERO, the best review team I could ask for!
Further thanks to MYKONIAN, the greatest backup mod I could ask for!
- Read and follow the site rules.
- I prefer questions and V/LA announcements by PM, but if you must do so in-thread, do so on an unspoilered, separate line, in bold.
- Don’t post after you’re dead.
- Don’t use
my color, #BF00FF
or attempt to impersonate me.
Playing the Game:
- I should be able to readily see all communication. (No obfuscating text, discussing game outside of mod-approved areas, etc.)
- Post every 48 hours, or I prod you. 3 prods and I start looking for a replacement. 24 hours after a prod with no response and I start looking for a replacement. Please don’t let this happen.
- 2 week days, 48 hour nights.
- Vote with vote tags or in bold. Please do this on an unspoilered, separate line.
- Majority votes leads to lynch. No majority by deadline leads to no lynch.
- Scum has daytalk. Scum cannot perform kill and use power on the same night.
- Game uses Natural Action Resolution.
Notes:
I’m not perfect. Rules are subject to change. Sorry.
Games get heated, but there’s a limit. I recommend you stay at least 20 steps away from the limit to ensure a pleasant mafia experience for all.
If you aren’t sure whether or not something will violate the rules, just ask.
If you see someone violating the rules, let me know.
Sample PM:
Hi.
You're a
Vanilla Townie.
Powers:
None.
Alignment:
Town. You win when all threats to town are dead, and there is at least one member of town alive.
Here's the game thread. (<--- link)
Confirm that you understand everything in the PM.
Game begins when 13/16 confirm, and anyone who has not done so at that point will be prodded and given an additional 24 hours.

Sounds like a badly named D&D Magic item that everyone wants once you can see what it does for the first time.

Thank you, I think.
The pun's not bad, though I have heard it before. Are puns and such included or encouraged in the game, or do we just read ones the mod posts?
VOTE: Road Kamelot, for 'tis a silly place.

No, I've decided that for as long as I'm not bored, I'll conform to the new meta and in lud no complicated thoughts and post no more than a single thought per post.

And fix all my typos via another post, since that is also the new mega and way more productive Han having the reader correct it in thier head.
In lud should be "include".

Wow. I'm seeing a lot of names and avatars I recognize from important places. I might just be in over my head here. I'm going to go ahead and pretend I'm not, though.

My use of Han is not a Star Wars reference, I meant the word "than".

You have posts fixing your typos in previous posts where you were fixing typos.

Good question. It's a large normal, so flavor is just for fun, won't have impact on the roles.

I already prefer LurkPV
But then again LurkPV got lynched into a loss twice. (One of those was my fault )
