The Syndicate

All group PMs have been sent. Let me know if you should have gotten one but did not.

Off to create the poll.

I have just sent PMs to all the players giving you your role. Please let me know if you did not get a PM and should have.

Up next, I will PM the groups who share BTSC.

Also, the prologue is there to be read, and I will soon add a poll for the first vote.

Expect your role assignments to come in this afternoon via PM. I'm going to proofread the prologue and then post it for your reading pleasure.

The journey begins...

If you will believe it, Masters of the Universe is actually thirty years old.

If we can get one more player, this will go live tomorrow.

Yay Kate!

Three more! So excited!

Four more! Come on!

Hi sis!

Hello!

In this game, there are good guys (in green and pink on the first page), bad guys (in blue and red) and independent players (in yellow).

During the "day" period (48 hours), all players vote on someone to be killed. Whoever gets the most votes dies and is revealed.

During the "night" period (24 hours), the players will PM me with their night actions and targets (see the character descriptions on the first page). Some players will have secret powers.

You cannot talk to anyone about the game unless you share BTSC. "BTSC" means "behind the scenes conversation." If your character has that, then you may talk to those players and plot together.

Also, you may never edit a post.

The good guys win if they kill all the bad guys, a bad guy team wins if they kill all the other players.

If you have anymore questions, you can ask me or S~V~S.

Great to have you!

She says "hello" from the kitchen. She's quite busy working on a Toy Story cake, something like this:

I convinced her to make one should we visit DC.

Language and it's perils!

I may have another player, but I gotta check with MP first.

I promise it's not as complicated as it looks. I felt the same way at first. Basically, you get a secret role (that you cannot reveal), and you try to be the last group standing by killing off the other players. The only time it takes is to keep up with the thread and send a PM every 72 hours (using your night power, if you have one).

Hello Ian!

Nine more players and we can begin! I would love to get started this weekend.

Will you be in DC during the first week of April? If we get our tax money and you are free then, perhaps we can meet.

Yep, I'll be around. If you can make it up I'd be happy to treat you to a beer or six (a six pack in the grocery store costs roughly the same as a single beer in a bar here, which is ridiculous.)

I prefer drinking in private houses, not public ones anyway.

If our money comes through, I want to travel to DC and you and I will enjoy many draughts. I'm partial to bourbon.

The moar the merrioar.

We're broke right now, and I am working like a lunatic.

I'm so excited to be doing this!

I hope I don't disappoint! I love games like this, but have a terrible poker face. Therefore my strategy is to always appear to be lying, which generally only works after people realize I'm doing it.

In other words, you're a natural!

Still want to meet you in person, btw.

Logan will be a fantastic player, I know.

I'm so excited to be doing this!

If you have any questions, PM either me or S~V~S, who is the mod for this game.

Awesome to have you Logan!

I watched two episodes with my kids last night. One from the 80s and one from the 2003 series.

We've had GI Joe and THREE Transformers movies: Why won't Hollywood please exploit us 80s children with a gritty MOTU remake??? I know they were going to make a film called Grayskull a few years back, but Warner Bros. (or whoever it was) had executive issues.

So I take it you're a big fan like I am then?

Saw your user name and immediately thought, "I think I've got my nineteenth signup!"

Great to have you.

There's 63 people on this site so far. What in the world did they join the site for if not to participate in Mafia events? (Except Atavachron, who is here for Gladiators).

I've got a mighty prologue ready to go as soon as we hit 30.

Thanks David. I'm thinking (hoping?) we'll get some more players as the Speed Mafia session winds down.

A role that may seem unremarkable initially may yet have benefits or disabilities as the journey goes on...

Seventeen spots left. Claim one.

Some of you know one another personally, no? How so?

Thank you!

I intentionally set it up so people can change votes as needed. If you change your vote, just post saying you did so!

Civilians

The Eternians

Prince Adam / He-Man - Each night, Prince Adam must decide whether or not to transform into He-Man. As Prince Adam, he has no abilities. As He-Man, he role blocks any player that night and cannot be lynched the following day. He is limited to three transformations.

Man-at-Arms - Duncan is a master of technology. He is working on a “Role-Finder” device that can discover the role of any player once per day. Initially, it has a 10% success rate. Each time it fails, Duncan tweaks the machine, and increases the success rate by 2%. Has BTSC with Teela and Orko.

Teela - Submits a player’s name each night and guards that person against lynching the following day. Has BTSC with Man-at-Arms and Orko.

Orko - The silly court magician, Orko tries to help his friends, but sometimes just doesn’t get it right. He casts a spell to either boost Man-at-Arms’ technical research by 3% (80% success rate) or help Teela protect the innocent from lynching by enabling her to submit a second name (70% success rate). If the spell fails, Orko silences a random player. Has BTSC with Man-at-Arms and Teela.

Man-E-Faces - Each night, Man-E-Faces must choose whether to be a human (no effect), a robot (may attempt a role check at a 60% success rate while doubling the number of lynch votes for himself the next day) or a monster (may attempt a night kill at a 40% success rate while quadrupling the number of lynch votes for himself the next day).

Ram Man - Uses his brute force to ram into any player, role blocking that person for the night.

Fisto - Uses his mighty gauntlet to deliver a punch to any player, role blocking that person for the night.

Moss Man - The master of camouflage blends into his environment. He can never be lynched.

Stratos - The prince of the skies may swoop in on two occasions to rescue someone from a night kill.

Sy-Klone - Sy-Klone may generate a tornado that redirects his target’s night action. If the target has no night action, the whirlwind fails.

Mekaneck - Uses his bionic neck to search for allies. If he finds an Eternian, he establishes BTSC with that player. Has BTSC with Buzz Off.

Buzz-Off - Uses his flight to spy on others. The buzzing hero selects two players and will discover if they share BTSC. Has BTSC with Mekanek.

The Etherians

Princess Adora / She-Ra - Each night, Princess Adora must decide whether or not to transform into She-Ra. As Princess Adora, she has no abilities. As She-Ra, she role blocks any player that night and cannot be lynched the following day. She is limited to three transformations.

Glimmer - Glimmer- The leader of the Great Rebellion sheds light on situations. Whenever she is targeted, she will know by whom. Has BTSC with Bow and Madame Razz.

Bow - Scouts for a member of The Horde each night. If he finds one, he shoots an arrow and role blocks the player. If he finds Princess Adora, he recruits her, earning BTSC. Has BTSC with Glimmer and Madame Razz.

Madame Razz - The loveable witch from Whispering Woods can conjure a spell to help her friends. She often messes up, but she means well. Has BTSC with Glimmer and Bow. (Secrets)



Snake Mountain
Kills every odd night.

Skeletor - The evil lord of destruction may use his Havoc Staff to place a hex on any player. While under Skeletor’s power, the target must vote during the day phase as Skeletor directs; the curse lasts two day periods.

Evil-Lyn - Wicked illusionist and Skeletor's right hand (Secrets).

Beast Man - Skeletor’s furry henchman kidnaps one player each night and brutally interrogates them regarding any previous night action. That player’s night action from the chosen night will be known to Beast Man.

Merman - Merman will search the waterways each night for treasure and magical relics. His base chance to find something is 10%, but because Merman is nervous and does not wish to displease his master, it increases 6% for each lynch vote Snake Mountain receives.

Tri-Klops - Each night, Tri-Klops may choose an eye to see with (Circle, Triangle, or Square). The Circle enables Distavision, which allows Tri-Klops to see something from afar (he can see what votes during the following day phase are manipulated). The Triangle enables Nightvision, which allows Tri-Klops to see something that happened at night. The Square enables Gammavision, which allows Tri-Klops to see around things (thus finding a way around a situation and canceling out one role block against Snake Mountain). Each eye must charge two nights before being used again.

Trap Jaw - Each night, Trap Jaw may choose an arm to use (Stunner, Hook, or Magnifier). The stunner renders a player useless for the next day. The hook parries any night action taken against Trap Jaw. The Magnifier doubles Trap Jaw’s lynch vote for the following day. Unlike Tri-Klops, Trap Jaw may use any arm he wishes on any given night.



The Horde
Kills every even night.

Hordak - The ruthless leader of the evil Horde may fire his arm cannon, taking a 20% shot at killing the targeted player outright. Alternatively, Hordak may spend his night studying science, possibly producing a piece of technology that the Horde may utilize. The success rate depends on the item’s greatness: A simple technology has an 80% chance of success. A moderate technology has a 60% chance of success. A powerful technology has a 40% chance of success.

Shadow Weaver - Mistress of dark tidings (Secrets)

Leech - Targets one player each night, and adopts their known night power for the next night. If there is no known night power, the drain fails. Leech must use this power before attempting to drain another player.

Mantenna - Pops out his eyes each night and uses his stun beam to stun someone, rendering that player useless for the next day. Alternatively, he can use his eyes to spy on someone, discovering if that player was manipulated in any way on the previous day.

Grizzlor - Can jail one player each night, rendering that player useless the next day. Alternatively, he can work with Hordak in the development of a new technology, giving Hordak a 9% technology bonus for that night.

Modulok - Grows more powerful the longer he fights! (Secrets)



Individuals

The Sorceress - The Protector of Castle Grayskull, The Sorceress uses her mystical power to guard against the forces of evil. She perishes if all the Eternians are slain. (Secrets)

Zodac - The Cosmic Enforcer (Secrets)
