Welcome to Mayday Mafia! We hope you have a safe flight.

Rules:

1. Do not copy-paste your role PM or pretend to do so.
2. Do not edit or delete posts.
3. Do not communicate outside of the thread or approved chats (cryptography counts).
4. Respect the site rules. Some banter is fine, but don't derail things with personal attacks.
5. Follow the spirit of the rules and the game.
6. Don't speculate on the timings or structure of the PMs.

Basic Setup Info:

1. The setup is role madness  - there are no VTs.
2. Some roles are standardized, some aren't.
3. Majority voting is in effect.
4. 72 hour DP, 24 hour NP.
5. Setup is standard 2v7.
6. This *should* be balanced. I reviewed it with a friend who's an experienced designer.

Important Setup Info:

1. There is a themesplit. Mafia have not been given fakeclaims, but they will be given two chances to ask if a plane accident is already in the game.
2. Each player's role has two parts - a regular role, and a legacy role. The legacy role will activate on death if and only if that player has met an activity requirement - 25 posts in the previous day phase.
3. There is at least one role in the game which may lead to false investigative results.
4. There is at least one role in the game which may lead to false or missing role flips.
5. At the end of each day, I will ask an investigative question about what happened (e.g. "how many scum players were on the wagon?"). Each player will publicly submit an answer. Based on the success rate of the answers, I will give pre-determined information about the setup.

Questions?

I will not answer questions about roles other than your own, or flipped ones.

I will only answer questions via PM.

Living Players:

1. Casey
2. whiteflame
3. Pie
4. Owen
5. Banana
6. Earth
7. Cerulean
8. Moozer
9. Luna

Deadline:

The DP ends 72 hours from the first player post in the thread.

Alright, back in this. Not terribly familiar with the theme, but I've heard of the major incidents, most (if not all) of which I suspect are in this game.

Also, Austin, this little addition is an inspired choice:

"2. Each player's role has two parts - a regular role, and a legacy role. The legacy role will activate on death if and only if that player has met an activity requirement - 25 posts in the previous day phase."

Everyone should be aware of this and try to post at least this much, which will also improve activity in the DP. It should be noted that Mafia might also have a legacy role, though that certainly won't prevent a lynch. I can at least say that my legacy role would not activate on a lynch.

I am Uberlingen Disaster and I am the Miller. Due to a number of factors including an ATC who made a poor decision, there was a midair crash. A few years after the crash, the ATC was tracked down and killed by a relative of some of the victims despite the fact that there were other causes besides the ATC.

Earth is town for that immediate Miller claim. 

I'm working overtime tonight, so I'll be inactive until tomorrow, but for now...

Good to see you again! It's nice to have another experienced player I enjoyed playing with you in Villainous Villains and am glad to see you've returned for another game.

Interesting. The early Miller claim makes sense, and the justification seems to fit. Not an incident I'm familiar with.

I’m not dealing with a Miller late game. Been there done that. My policy is the same. We find a better lynch or we policy the Miller.

I'd like to echo the sentiments you got from others after last game that I thought you did a good job, especially for your first time out. There's a bit more going on in this one, so I'd definitely read through that "Important Setup info" portion of the OP, some of which may be essential to remember going forward.

Actually, I skimmed through Earth's post at first because I don't have much time on my break, but I think I heard about that case on an episode of a podcast called Cautionary Tales. I ended up feeling really bad for the guy by the end.

Fair enough. It's a better choice than just lynching someone for inactivity or no lynching, which unfortunately have been typifying recent games.

Why have you not full claimed?

If you are referring to my legacy role, I prefer not to claim it yet.

So what was the point of claiming to begin with?

Is there something we should claim to keep activity rolling?

For future notice, I'll only answer questions via PM to avoid mod angleshooting.

I can't give further info about this at the time.

My PM confirms to me that mafia has some sort of Role obscuring or changing ability. This could be a anything from a full on tailor to a janitor based on the wording. All I know is I won't be fully trusting death flips.

Thanks for that.

By the way, in this game I have been assured by the moderator that I am town, but I am confused, because according to earth Guide to Forum Mafia, my role is under Mafia Roles, but the moderator assures me I am town. So I just am giving a heads up this time around.

Vote count 1.1:

Cerulean (1/5): Casey
Moozer (1/5): Pie

Six months into the investigation, the NTSB's chairman, Jim Hall, was quoted as saying, "All three theories—a bomb, a missile, or mechanical failure—remain." ...The probable cause of the explosion of TWA Flight 800 was ultimately ruled to be faulty wiring that ignited residual fuel vapors in the wing fuel tanks, causing a catastrophic in-flight breakup.

And this time, since we're aware of it and thinking about it, we're not going to fall for any neon blinking signs saying "YOU SHOULD LYNCH THIS PERSON" in any flips, yes?

Alright, this gives me a light townread on you since I don't think you'd announce this if you were scum. Long story short: I wouldn't be terribly surprised if some people have a pretty scummy role as town. Just note, if your role has negative town utility (e.g. Earth's role as Miller), then there may be a case for you claiming this DP.
