"Welcome, everyone, to another exciting season of Big Brother!" She greets them. "The hottest show of the summer is about to kick off as all the houseguests are settling into the Big Brother Mansion. But they won't have all the time in the world to rest, as a new game-wide twist is about to be kicked off."
Turning to the screen as it shows various views of the new guests settling in and chatting, Julie announces, "Houseguests! Please gather in the main lobby for a big announcement."
One by one, the fourteen guests filter into the room and settle down in their seats, looking up expectantly at the screen in front of them as Julie's head soon appears on-screen.
"Houseguests," she begins. "Big Brother is not a game without sizzling twists and exciting turns, and this year is no different. However, as you are aware, we have decided on a new format for the season.
"This year's huge twist is that you all can choose the new Head of Household." Shocked and excited murmurs ripple along those sitting as they begin to process this information. "The rules for eviction will remain the same, but now you all have a choice toward who gets to be the HoH.
"Furthermore, the game will be played...a little differently. Four houseguests have been given special gifts that will separate them from the rest. The job for the rest of you is to eliminate those four. Do that successfully, and victory will be yours. Fail, and those four will all get the prize, even if only one remains. Do you all understand?"
Murmurs arise from the houseguests at this news as more than one suspicious glance is turn toward each other, but they all grunt or voice their agreement.
"Excellent," Julie beams at them. "Welcome to Big Brother!"
The camera pans away from the guests as they begin to move about and comes back to Julie in the studio. "The houseguests now know the stakes at hand, and the new way they can vie for the highest position in the house. But who will come out on top in this game? Stay tuned and find out!"
The crowd applauds as the camera pans out and darkens for the next commercial break.

Rules Specific to Big Brother Mafia
1.) Votes in this game go toward
electing a Head of Household, not lynching a player. You may not vote for yourself, and self-votes will not be counted.
2.) There will be majority lynch in this game at deadline, as there must be an HoH each night.
3.) once the HoH has been selected, night begins. The new HoH has 48 hours to send me two people to be put on the chopping block for eviction. If they cannot decide, I will choose them at random.
4.) Once the two people have been selected, all players have 72 hours to choose who they would like to evict. This is done privately via PMs. Note that the two up for eviction are not eligible to choose.
5.) I will announce the margin in-thread. If there is a tie, the acting HoH must be the tiebreaker. Once an eviction is settled, I will reveal their flip and the next day will begin.
6.) Scum can talk at all times during the 5-day period of "night" (during chopping block selection and eviction voting).

Welcome to the Big Brother Household!
Throughout your stay, you will be given a vote to use each day. Use it wisely to decide who should become the next Head of House. During the night you can also help decide who should be evicted from the House, provided you are not up for eviction yourself.
You win when all the mafia have been eliminated from the game.
If you have read and understood your role, please confirm by PM by re-stating your alignment and role name.
If you are replacing in, read Rule 24 as well.
